Sen. McCarthy
Backs Eisenhower
For Second Term
In a speech to the Wisconsin
State Republican Convention in
Milwaukee Saturday, Sen. Joseph
McCarthy declared it absolutely
imperative” that the Eisenhower
i Nixon ticket be supported.
McCarthy recalled that he has
differed with Eisenhower on a
number of issues and he said “the
differences have, on occasion,
| been serious ones.”
But McCarthy said he had “no
apology to make for this,” adding:
“Every Republican . . . has the
right and a duty to call the shots
as he sees them.”
McCarthy, Wisconsin’s junior
senator, took no part in the Senate
nomination fight Saturday in
which veteran Sen. Alexander
Wiley, 72, was defeated in his bid
for ife-election to a fourth term by
Rep. Glenn Davis.
i Rain of Champagne
Started by Duke of Kent
At Debutante Party
LONDON, 14*1—Out of the cold,
gray dawn over Mayfair came a
downpour—of champagne.
And who was pouring it down?
None other than His Royal High
ness, the Duke of Kent, 20-year
old cousin of Queen Elizabeth II
and bright new star of the social
firmament.
The lanky duke, reportedly was
leading the 17-year-old Penelope
D’Erlanger on a quiet stroll on a
rooftop 40 feet above Curzon St.
They were balancing on a ledge
12 inches wide.
In his hand, according to com
petent observers, was a cham
pagne glass. He drained half the
glass and, it is reported, flung the
rest in the street.
The idea caught on fast with
fellow guests at the debutante
; party. Soon a Niagara of bubbly
j beverage was cascading on the
street and on any citizens who
happened to be passing.
“It went on and on,” said Mar
ika Hopkinson, another 17-year
old whom the duke escorted to
i the party.
“A lot of people started com
| plaining and got pretty annoyed.
But really it was all jolly good
fun.”
Miss D'Erlanger explained that
the duke took to the roof because
the dance floor was so frightfully
hot. “It was just one of those spur
of-the-moment things,” she said.
