SAVANNAH BEACH READY.
If yesterday can be a barometer for the successful opening
of Savannah next Saturday, then it is possible that this
popular resort with its glistening stretches of white sand and
rows of stately palm trees, will have perhaps its most glamorous
(opening since its inception.
The new parking facilities which have been improved vast
ly over the winter months under the careful supervision of Chief
Hildreth of the police force will have the added protection of
additional policemen to enforce the needed regulations. A new
4 portion of the strand having already been opened, has served to
•enhance the many natural features of the popular Georgia resort.
• ‘lt is apparent that property owners everywhere have been
busy throughout the off months, preparing for the influx of
summer visitors who bring with them their many friends for the
sole purpose of using the many recreational facilities of the is
land. New homes, remodeled houses, new gardens and many
other features dot the conservative landscape of Savannah Beach,
and such activity on the part of the residents is deserving of the
congratulations of the Savannah Daily Times.
The.construction of the new jetties for the purpose of beach
. conservation has added to the prospective home-builder who can
kjiow see an investment which will be lasting and not temporary.
F Becoming alarmed at the visual outlook of having their property
| washed away by the relentless forces of the wind and the tide,
the old property holders now prepare for lasting and construc-
I tive building.
The opening next Saturday which will be featured by a bevy
Os events ranging from athletic contests to the parade of bathing
beauties gracing the boardwalk, will usher in, what we hope,
td be a successful summer season for Georgia’s leading recreation
spot, and the Savannah Daily Times adds its good wishes for a
season which will stand out in the hearts of those who have
worked to make Savannah Beach what it is today.

Distinguished Visitor.
Most Rev. Gerald P. O’Hara, D. D., J. U. D., bishop of Sa
vannah, will pay an official visit Sunday to the Catholic churches
of Atlanta, at which time he will give confirmation at Sacred
Heart Church, and in the afternoon a reception will be tendered
him in the ballroom of the Biltmore Hotel, where he will meet
Catholic communicants of this city, as well as many of his non-
Catholic friends.
The diocese of Savannah embraces the entire state of Geor
gia, thus making the distinguished prelate’s territory the larg
est see east of the Mississippi river. At the time of his selection
for the episcopacy there were in the archdiocese some 2,000 eli
ible for the position, and the fact that Father Gerald Patrick
O’Hara was selected for the honor out of this vast group, in
which great ability and effective zeal were the rule rather than
the exception, is most convincing evidence of his distinguished
attainments.
Bishop O’Hara comes from the archdiocese of Philadelphia,
where he served as auxiliary to his eminence, Cardinal Dough
erty, and where his kindly personality and ability won the
friendship and regard of all who knew him.
He will be graciously received by communicants of the
Catholic church, leaders of the clergy and citizens of Atlanta.

We have heard about the soul kiss,
M publicized by the movies, but we
never knew till now that osculations
•fe classified as to types by the film
industry.
There are, as a matter of fact,
eight distinct types, and, on looking
them over, we can Imagine that any
husband might be capable of execut
ing all eight. See if you think so-
The soul kiss also is known as the
HeaM-in-Throat embrace. This type
should not require description. It is
the type that leaves the klssee com
pletely mastered, overwhelmed and
hklf-dizzy.
The next type is the Gotta-Go-Now
kiss. You perhaps recognize it as the
old-fashioned Peck, the kind you
throw but still establish contact. (This
variety is responsible for many brok
en teeth, swollen lips, bloody noses,
blick eyes, etc.)
The Take-That-’nd-Llke-It kiss is
thfc result when the kisser is in a
very masculine and confident mood,
aa if he were really the master of his
own . home. This kind of kl-s, and
there's usually just one (to show
who’s boss!) might develop from a
meeting of the Equal Rights for Op
presa.’d Husbands league.
• •
Closely skin to that variety is the
t-Could Do-Better kiss. Verfy often
this kiss is executed after kisser and
tisse- have teen to see Clark Gable
ind Jean Harlow in the movies. Party
It the first part, of coune, doesn't
like to demonstrate his expertness for
fear he’ll destroy some I'lusion of
party of second part for Clark Gable.
So he just gives a hint he coud do
better but doesn’t want to.
The I Surrender kiss is mainly for
wives. It comes in handy while lead
ing up t oa suggestion that you need
a r.ew coat. You just melt in kisser’s
arms and register complete submis
sion. If property executed the coat
is a cinch and there's a possibility
for a new hat, too.
Very few people are able to achieve
any great degree of genuineness in
an Oh-May! or Gee-Whiz! kiss. The
reason is that the participants must
have the enthusiasm of a six-year
old boy at his first fire. To accom
plish neatly, the participants must be
completely naive, unsophisticated and
moronic. Os course, we admit you
might get away with it for a while
after marriage—but no for long!
• ♦ JI
Not-Fair is a tjpe of kiss that is
purely masquerade. That’s because
all's fair in love and war, or so they
say. This kiss is performed when the
klssee is unable to protect and de
fend hersell, such as when she has
hep- hands in the wash tub. She has
te “Now quit!”’ response in er lips,
but, of course, she doesn’t mean it.

Charles Thomas wins mj’ vote in his
feud with the Federal Radio Commis
sion over his sign-off at the end of
his warbling programs: "Good night,
Mother.” The commission, it seems,
construes these words as personal
communication, which is banned on
the air.
The columnists are forever insert
ing asides and specific objurations in
their copy, so I see no reason why
Mr. Thomas, after a hard period of
caroling, shouldn’t be permitted to
tell his mother goodnight, if she's
still listening. Yet the practice might
lead to some dismaying program
sign-offs if all the bars were down.
Bing Crosby, who owns race horses
on the side, could conceivably finish
a soulful ditty and add matter-of
factly, “Hey, Dixie, will you get an
other hundred down on Cross Play
for me before track time?” Or it is
imaginable that the Voice of Experi
ence would conclude his mellow
preachments with: “Don't worry,
mom, or wait up for me. I’ve got a
lodge meeting but I have my own key
and everything is okay.”

GUFFEY ACT DECISION
With Democrats Claiming Pennsylvania
CAUSES G. O. P. THINKING
By LESLIE EICHEL
Central Press Staif Writer
REPUBLICANS are busy thinking
up a means of counteracting the U.
S. supreme court’s decision nullifying
the Guffey coal act. The decision was
more damaging to the Republicans
than to the New Deal. In fact, word
no wis going around —in Republican
circles—that it is the supreme court
which is “saving” President Roose
velt from “the consequences of the
New Deal.” It is ranging him, fur
thermore, on the side of the "under
dog.”
The chief worry of the Republicans
is Pennsylvania. The adverse decision
on the Guffey coal act is reputed to
have solidified the workers of Penn
sylvania for the Democrats. The Re
publicans cannot hope to win the na
tional election without Pennsylvania.
• • •
BUSINESS ALARMED
In reality, these anti-New Deal de
cisions of the suprreme court do not
affect workers as much as business.
That is a new view In Wall Street.
Workers organize an dwin anyway
(according to the Wall Street view).
But when permissive price fixing or
ganizations—such as the New Deal
alphabet agencies realty have been
—are declared unconstitutional then
there is fear that price-cutting will
undermine business.
That, of course ,is the fear in the
coal industry.
Capitalism would fall quickly if
the old dog-eat-dog method were to
be indulged in generally. Collectivism
in business—Wall Street shudders at
that interpretation—is sought more
than outsiders or business itself rea
lizes.
• * •
FORCING ISSUE
The Roosevelt administration evi
dently is not pleased that the su
preme court or the constitution be
comes an issue. It would rather win
workers and votes on some other
ground.—for it is eager to win the
votes of businessmen, too.
But workers and liberals and farm
ers are forcing the issue on the ad
ministration.
• « •
NEW PARTY—WHEN?
. Talk has been drifting through
Washington and New York that a
Farmer-Labor party will be ready for
the field hr 1940. It hopes to absorb
progressive Democrats and progres
sive Republicans.
It hopes to make the amending of
the constitution and the curbing of
the supreme court an issue. It be
lieves that would be popular.
It hopes to displace the Democrats
as the party opposite the Republicans
by 1944.
• * •
PRICE CUTTING
Industries which Wall Street .reports
as having suffered already from price
cutting are soap, alcohol, solvents,
and other food substitutes.
ODDS LESSENING
Odds on the re-election of President
Roosevelt are lessening in Wall Street.

LANDON NOMINATION
Despite the Fact He’s Odds-On Favorite
IS NOT A CINCH BET
By CHARLES P STEWART
(Central Press Staff Writer)
WASHINGTON. May 25—While
Gov Alf M Landon of Kansas cer
tainty is away ahead as a Republican
presidential possibility (maybe even
as a probability), he hasn’t the air
tight cinch on the nomination that
some folk seem to think
On the first ballot at the Cleveland
convention he will have more votes
than any other single candidate but
he will not have a majority-over-all.
He will have to scop in the neces
sary majority from the supporters of
other candidates, on the second or
third ballot, in order to win The
odds are tha the will succeed in do
ing it, but they are not very heavy
odds
If he fails to win by the third bal
lot, it will mean that there is a de
liberate combination against him.
That, in turn, will mean a deadlock
And a deadlock will mean that a
compromise selection will have to be
made In that event the lightning is

EMBARRASSING MOMENTS
There were several hundred of us
standing in a station waiting for the
train, minding our own business, look
ing sort of blank —when suddenly we
were struck by lightning.
I mean we all turned around and
looked at a man and a woman stand
ing in our midst . . . We did it be
cause of something the woman said
to the man . . . She was a thin lit
tle woman with a sharp chin. He
was a great big fellow, very fat, with
a moon-face . . . She had just
shouted at him, and her face was
very red:
"If you say another word about it
to me, I’ll slap your face!”
We all heard her. We couldn’t help
it. We all turned around, because we
couldn’t help that, either. . . . We
looked ab them, at the angry woman,
at the stout man with the face alter
nating white and red . . . and no
body laughed! ... It was much too
serious a situation for that.
You could tell they were married.
I don’t know how you could tell it,
but you knew that was so. . . . You
couldn’t tell what was wrong, but
quite obviously he had done some
thing or wanted to do something and
she didn’t like it and didn’t want to
talk about it and suddenly she burst
out at him right in the midrt of that
crowd.
None of us said anything for a few
seconds, and then a buzz of comment
ran all around and in and out of the
crowd. . . .' And one little man said
to the man next to. him, almost loud
enough for everybody to hear:
“Any woman whp wUI do that to
a man, is a doggone COWARD. If I
were in his place—”
I don’t know what he would have
done if he HAD been in that man's
place. ... I know abput that. None
of us knew. ... But X do know that
we all felt prett yembarrassed about
the situation . . , and were glad
when the train came in and we could
get away from the scene pf the crime.
