CASE, attractive former housemother at the Kappy Alpha Theta sority house
at Cornell University.
"I know what you want!" she said, smiling and blushing, "but I don't
want to talk to you."
"Is it true that you and Governor JAMES are to be married?" she was
asked.
"No" she replied, still smiling and blushing.
"Was the Governor your guest at the recent Cornell spring day?"
Mrs CASE voiced another soft denial but added, "I'll probably
have some news for the papers a little later."

hammock. Mrs. CASE fended off all questions directed at him.
"The Governor," she said "is just here for a visit, as I am.
He doesn't want to be disturbed."
Later, the Governor and Mrs. CASE went for a drive. Returning,
JAMES told newsmen:
"There's no story here. When and if there is, we'll let you know.
I'm merely visiting an old friend I've known down the years."

with their mother, Mrs. Emilline RADCLIFF, who declined to comment on the
