DURANTE 1-1-1-1-1-1-1
SWISH TO MAN
It's the old schnoz, in person. Jimmy Durante and
his entourage make a fast change of planes in Dallas
enroute to Austin for a performance tonight at a
fund-raising dinner for Senatorial Hopeful Waggoner
Carr. Durante, one of the nation's best-known
comics, says he is a Democrat and a friend of Carr.
Every time he comes to Dallas, somebody asks him
how long his nose is and he always replies he
doesn't know. Says Durante, when they start making
bigger rulers, I'll measure it." Durante, who
helped Carr with his campaign in the Democratic
primary, has a parting remark for reporters. He
shouts, "I'll see you in the White House," whatever
that means.cb
