?╟÷Las Vegas== . T/gr OFF tb@ GUrTl By WEIR WATSON Take back your gold, for gold can never buy me; Take back your brifte, and promise you'll be true; Give me the love, the love that you'd deny me, Slake me your wife, that's all I ask of you. The foregoing words are part of an early song hit which actually first saw the light of dajc in 1897. Today, thoughts of gold and greenbacks are running rampant through Las Vegas since some wag-a-bonding soul has cast, off a rumor that Ike and his cabinet are considering changing the color of paper money to blue- thus to force black market green stuff out of safety deposit boxes (!) Unsuccessful Democratic candidate for TJ. S. senator Thomas B. Mechling, conferred briefly with Adlai E. Stevenson in Los Angeles concerning the party organization in Nevada. Mechling and his wife were also introduced to Prentiss Moore, Adlai's finance chairman.?╟÷Vegans Bob Perry and Ted Griss engineered the meeting at the $100-a-plate dinner-rally. Frontier carefully inspected a bracelet the other day, asked Mrs. (Pete) Faye the cost. She replied, "eighteen" and the lady asked' ii a check would be alright, got the nod and preceeded to write. Mrs. Faye was right* fully surprised to find the lady had filled in $1800 for the amount. Some credit (no little) to the typa of merchandise Farrell handles?╟÷ as the lady gladly wrote a new check for just $1782 less, for th?╜/ same bracelet. Of four woman lawyers in town, one of them (ironically) re- ceived word from police chief Al Kennedy this week regarding her S?·?5 Pee-(:u-leer client.
