Massachusetts' Kennedy is ahead. He is confident of winning primaries in Wisconsin and Oregon, but is loath to tangle in California unless he must. On the other hand, there is no room on Roman Catholic Jack Kennedy's ticket for Catholic Brown. In Los Angeles last week Kennedy pooh-poohed the notion that he would oppose a favorite son.

Warner Bros, noticed how teen-age televiewers dug Kookie, so it signed Byrnes to cut a disk and set a comb manufacturer to turning out "Kookie Kombs" by the thousands.

The lithographs were pulled in Paris, the text printed in Berlin. At $225 a copy, Lithographer Wayne's edition of 110 seems likely to be a sellout by year...
...prices, which vary with trimmings and construction difficulties, dip below the $3,500 level, families see the backyard swimming pool simply as a new way for family fun and a sure way to increase property values.
