Beta Sigma Phi
By CAROLINE READER
The Waldheim residence was
the scene of another Beta Sigma
Phi meeting held last Thursday
« evening. Final plans for the rum
mage sale Saturday mo'rning were
enthusiastically made and a few
plans for the Founder’s Day Ban
quet were presented. A meeting
for the three new pledges is
scheduled for Thursday, April 15,
at the Roy Wall residence at
$ which time they will learn the as
pects of sorority membership.
The program for the evening
consisted of 50 review questions
on previous programs prepared
by Maybelle Lennert and Caro
line Reader. Also' members read
poems dealing with people in var
ious stages of life — childhood,
youth, mature men and women,
elders, and just plain folks. Mr.
Salisbury wrote a poem about
« elders for one of the members
which is a treasure to go into' the
chapter scrapbook. After the pro
gram, hostess Ellen Waldheim
served salad and nut bread to
everyone’s pleasure.
The Beta Sigma Phi rummage
sale held Saturda}' morning lasted
' about an hour and a half and
grossed the sorority approximate
ly S140. Our sincere thanks go to
all who' bought so generously, to
Tom Martin who strung lines and
pre-heated the building for us, to
A. Polet. for use of the building
which was ideal for such a sale,
to Chuck Reader for storing and
hauling the majority of the mer
chandise, to ail who' donated with
clothing, and to the sorority mem
bers who conducted the sale.

COMMUNICATION
April 5, 1954
To the Nome Nugget:
There is much confusion in the
minds of all Americans regarding
the statehood for Hawaii and Al
aska proposal.
Wouldn’t it be a fine idea to
have a non-political, open-mike
forum of the air where respon
sible individuals from Hawaii and
Alaska could state their respec
tive cases and then have a ques
tion and answer period?
The logical place for this would
be in Fort Worth, Texas, at the
Hotel Texas on May 1st, where a
group of peace-loving individuals
will be observing the Hawaiian
system of expressing peace on
earth by exchanging leis and
“alohas” in the best Hawaiian
American style.
This meeting is the fifth annual
observance to offset, to' some
measure, the Communist plan of
preaching hate and violence this
same date.
Would it be possible to have the
Honorable Governors of Hawaii,
Alaska, and Texas exchange
ideas, flower leis, and rub noses
and elbows at a noonday luncheon
featuring Alaskan foods and cus
toms; and an evening Lei Day
Luau extolling the same Hawaiian
style; each to be followed by the
statehood non-political forum?
Anyone interested please am
plify this message in your commu
nity and advise me “wiki wiki,”
as they say in Hawaiian.
A representative group of edi
tors from Hawaii and Alaska
should also be present to answer
questions.
The writers of statehood pro
posals would be interested in the
fact that Texas retained her ag
rarian and riparian rights in her
petition for statehood more than
one hundred years ago (time has
proven this an excellent idea).
Trusting to hear from my fel
low Americans in Hawaii and
Alaska.
1 am yours for a satisfac
tory solution for both.

Jackie Gleason
May Have to Pay
Record Alimony
NEW YORK, L?V-Jackie* Glea
son’s wife, who says the TV fun
nyman “spends money with reck
less abandon,” has filed a separa
tion suit against the roly-poly
star involving a new high in tem
porary alimony.
Mrs. Genevive Gleason, 38, filed
a petition in supreme court Friday
charging abandonment and non
support and asked $5,000 a month
temporary ailmony and $20,000 in
counsel fees.
And she referred indirectly to
Jackie’s romance with Marilyn
Taylor, a dancer on his Saturday
night television show.
Claiming the comedian is able
to pay, Mrs. Gleason said:
“He has a fabulous wardrobe
and very expensive jewelry. He
lives a life of complete splendor
and spends money with reckless
abandon.”
Mrs. Gleason added that her
estranged mate, who occupies a
duplex penthouse at the Park
Sheraton Hotel, earned $336,000
last year.
When they separated nearly
three years ago, she said, Gleason
gave her $1,000 a month to sup
port her and their two daughters,
Geraldine, 15, and Linda, 12, plus
rent and department store bills.
She said he later raised the
amount to $1,750. They were mar
ried in 1936.
The highest previous temporary
aimony granted in supreme court
here was the $700 weekly (about
$2,800 a month) awarded Eleanor
Holm Rose prior to her divorce
from showman Billy Rose. In an
out-of-court settlement, Mrs. Rose
was given a reported $30,000 a
year.
Velde in Toughest Fight
Of His Career for
Reclection Tomorrow7
PEORIA, Illinois, Oft—Chairman
Harold H. Velde of the House
Un-American Activities Commit
tee is bidding for another term
in Congress with tacit but unmis
takable disapproval from within
the Protestant clergy.
By no means are all the minis
ters in Velde’s district against him.
But some of them are, and say so
privately. They disapprove of the
way his committee has been con
ducting its investigations.
The Republican ’ congressman
from Pekin, 111., also is up against
a seasoned popular state repres
entative, Robert H. Allison, when
Illinois runs off the nation’s first
primary tomorrow.
A veteran of 30 years in state
and local politics sized up the
contest this way:
“Velde is in the toughest fight
of his life. I think he’ll win.”
