Debate On Kinsey ‘Expose’
Rebuffed In Texas, Will
Move Show To N. Orleans
DALLAS, Tex., (J5) — Rebuffed
in Texas, a public debate on Dr.
Kinsey’s report on female sex
habits shifted its premiere to New
Orleans Saturday because it’s “a
more liberal” city.
“But we’ll be back in Texas,
and believe you me, we’re going
to go into Houston,” said pretty
Lea Knox Marlowe, moderator of
the show featuring Joan Blondell
and other Hollywood persons.
The show was refused a hall in
Houston and Miss Marlowe can
celled a Dallas engagement when
she heard would-be hecklers had
bought a block of tickets and tom
down signs advertising the ques
tion-and-answer show on “Sex
ual Behavior of the Human Fe
male.”
The show’s title is “Women
Battling the Kinsey Expose,” and
Miss Marlowe says, “That
Kinsey said a lot of things about
women that aren’t true.”
El Salvador is the smallest
country in the Western Hemi
sphere.

Phono Records
May Lure Cobras
To Destruction
SPRINGFIELD, Missouri, UP)—
Strains of the “Cobra Blues” may
be wafting through this city soon.
In case you’re not up on your
snake music—the “Cobra Blues”
is a phonographic record of Hindu
snake charmers trying to lure
reptiles out into the open.
It’s the latest gimmick city of
ficials are thinking about trying
in an effort to rid the commun
ity of its unwanted cobra popu
lation—sort of a pied piper af
fair.
The ninth deadly cobra — not
native to this area — was killed
Thursday, and more of the snakes
are believed in hiding.
It is not known how the cobras
got into the city.
A Springfield businessman,
John Dukewitz, gave the snake
charming record to D. E. Caywood,
health director.
Dukewitz says a Lutheran min
ister made the record while Hindu
snake charmers piped three
cobras out of a thicket around the
minister’s home.
“We know the record works,”
Dukewitz said confidently.
He explained that his brother,
also a Lutheran missionary in
South India, told him cobras can
be coralled by native music.
City officials are talking about
putting the record on a sound
truck and playing it throughout
the city in hopes the snakes will
be lured out into the open where
they can be disposed of.
“I am willing to try anything,”
said Caywood.

COLUMBUS, Ohio, UP) — A 33

even.”
