Shirley Booth Says Acting Might Not Be Forever
Shirley Booth, Hollywood star, says she could quit acting but expects to work on stage or screen for now. She plans two more Hal Wallis pictures and emphasizes a balanced life, noting scripts are hard to find and she may divide time between stage and screen. Mexico plans Everest bid with an all male team training for 1955 or 1957, led by Jose Mendez Tejada and supported by government weather, diet, and medical checks.

Appointment and party shifts in mid-century Senate races
The article notes Burke succeeding the late Robert A Taft after Taft's 1950 57.5 percent win, with Burke coming from a different party. It recalls four postwar Senators who won since World War II, none surpassing Taft's first showing. It lists John J. Sparkman’s 1918 50 percent, Dworshak's decline from 58.6 to 4, Cooper dropping from 62 to 1, Willis Robertson 68.2 in 1946 and 67 in 1948, and Cooper and Dworshak losing Senate races in 1948 with 48.3 and 48.5 percent.
