...Capp at last getting his comeuppance? What did he think of the Saunders-Ernst treatment? Said he: "Unpardonable slander. Something disgraceful, humiliating." Then Capp took his tongue out of his cheek and exposed the feud (sob!) as a hoax. He and Saunders cooked it up last fall in Washington at a meeting of the cartooning clan ("a pretty damn dull profession"). Rapp will go on taking raps for a few weeks until, says Capp, Saunders "casually reveals at the end that I'm not a monster."

Last week the House Rules Committee cleared the Eisenhower school-construction bill for the floor and-for lack of a concerted Administration pressure-certain death...
...Herbert Hoover, Eleanor Roosevelt, Chief Justice Earl Warren, Senate Democratic Leader Lyndon Johnson, Senate Republican Leader William Knowland, and durable old Speaker of the House Sam Rayburn, who passed the time of day with his old colleague, thrust out his snapping-turtle neck to plant a buss on the cheek of proud Bess Truman...
