In view of his forthcoming trip to Washington, Scelba asked the Chamber of Deputies to postpone a vote on it. His request required a majority of those present, or 275 votes.

Today his Ukrainian-born wife teaches modern languages at the school, while Gerassi paints in their two-room, picture-crammed cottage, or wanders over the Vermont hills...
...star salesmen. It was a "very good, short speech," his father happily recalls. For Tom Jr., his father set strict standards and never relaxed them. When Tom, an ardent boy scout, failed to make his Eagle badge, his father refused to send him on a gala seven-week trip to Europe, which he was financing for other Short Hills scouts...
