despite the fact that there are plenty around. Martin told Beatty that he has a collection of 500 gavels at home. "A good workman uses his own tools," Martin explained. The congressman is the son of a blacksmith, and should know.

Speaking of gavels, William R. McAndrew, director of NBC’s combined radio and television coverage, brought his along too. Mc¬ Andrew was awarded a gavel by the Radio Correspondents’ Associacion of Washington, D.C., when he completed his term as president of that group in 1951. The McAndrew gavel, not to be confused with the Walter Hallanan (temporary chairman) gavel nor the Martin gavel, was used by NBC engineers to test the microphone system on the convention floor before the sessions started.
BOB HOPE COMMENTS ON THE CONVENTION
Ifm glad to be at the Republican National Convention -otherwise known as the National Optimists Club...
Old Republican, that is what the young Republican got to be waiting for a change in the White House...
An election deal - that’s where you back me. I’ll back you
and maybe we’ll both get back...
It’s so crowded in Chicago that tonight I have a room with a
shower. Of course they’re at different hotels.
The women delegates - they’re so neat - they all have been trying to straighten out The Loop since they’ve been here.
I heard a Texas delegate say he wants to take Rhode Island
home for a souvenir.
ji ^.2. have to go now. If the convention takes any longer the
delegates might nominate a Democrat.
