The national chains carried spotty U.N. pickups all evening, but when Secretary Dulles appealed to the world for support, ABC was preoccupied with The Lone Ranger, NBC with Guy Lombardo and CBS with Sergeant Preston of the Yukon.

His singing and his original songs (sample title: The Squaws on the Yukon Are Good Enough for Me) are famous in Washington. Office staffers have learned to ignore his flagrant practical jokes-like the swollen and bloody fake finger he sometimes wears. He has to fight his weight (and at 225 Ibs., the weight is winning). To the casual observer he seems to be a bald and bouncy gladhander, as carefree...
