...students of Athens' University of Georgia answered Student Lowell Kirby's ridiculous accusation of a Papist plot to establish fascism in America [June 16]. With all the crafty preparations being made by Rome to take over the country, I feel left out in the cold. In my nine years as a parish priest not once have I been called in by my bishop to be briefed on the coming coup d'état. I haven't even been told the date of the uprising...

As everybody within range of a radio knows, it is about a "one-eyed, one-horned" creature "acomin' out of the sky" to "get a job in a rock-'n'-roll band." Oklahoma-born Singer Wooley, 37, who has written hits such as Too Young to Tango and appeared in westerns (High Noon) as a badman, got his inspiration from a gag riddle posed by the child of a friend: "What has one eye, one horn, flies and eats people?"
