McKenna said that was only the beginning He alleged that the Messrs Trump and Tomasello ob tained loans $3500000 more than the apartments cost Then said McKenna they collected rents from their tenants of $1700000 before they made the first pay ment on their mortgage They loaned $729000 to affiliated cor porations and they still have $3 000000 in the bank he added Whether any of this was illegal is

conscience he take his money and then went on to ex plain that he was in no way re sponsible for initial success I did last he told him was put you in sort of a daze and try to get you to believe that you had it in you to make a good speech I tried to put you in a complete trance but it work Some people respond to hypnotism and one of them When you spoke as well as you did at the con vention you were strictly on your own and I had nothing to do with your success Eddie walked out of my Slater told me he was grinning all over his face His second speech was a bigger hit than the first Today vice president of his company and in great de mand as a public I said it was a lucky thing for Eddie he was deal ing with an honest hypnotist You could have taken him for plenty by pretending you were hypnotizing miss the said Slater I put Eddie in a trance the first time I hypnotized him as never hypnotized anybody before His talk if I may say so was a triumph of post hypnotic sugges come I said Eddie blow up in his second said Slater had the makings of a good speaker all along and all he needed was confi dence My little white lie about his not responding to hypnotism gave him Eddie meets another hypnotist and finds out he is sus I said he lose his self happen in a million said Slater was a most difficult subject and I doubt whether any practitioner would be able to put him put him I said said Ralph Slater you forget one thing I am the foremost We are on the eve of one of those things called a long holiday weekend It offers a welcome respite for millions an opportun ity to escape hot cities relax on the beach es soak up sunshine enjoy mountain breez es to swim and play and roam Reno will welcome thousands for the ro deo and the highways in all directions will be jammed Three days of it a delightful prospect Except for one difficulty getting there and back alive harder to do than you may think A long holiday weekend brings out on the highways thousands who would not bother to go away for a shorter time The ordinary hazards thus are mul tiplied many times With good weather this weekend could easily produce a record breaking number of casualties Safety a matter of statistics On the highways especially it something that concerns some one else It concerns you and your passengers for whose safety you have taken responsibility If you want to stay alive and whole and keep your fam ily the same way if you want to be come or see a loved one become a bloody smear on highway or spend the rest of your life a cripple or if you want to carry all your days the torturing memory of having killed a earful of people then drive carefully this weekend Steady Eddie! Recently at lox empori um I had a cup of coffee with Ralph Slater who bills himself as World's oremost He was as full of yarns as a mince pie is of raisins one of them Some years ago Slater did a special show in New York for a convention of plumbing fixture manufacturers and after the per formance one of the delegates came around to his dressing room He introduced himself as Eddie Bur dett and said he had a problem His trouble was that he was knockkneed with a fear about a speech he was scheduled to make at the convention the next day He had never done any public speaking and was certain he would fluff and fluster and make a show of himself The occasion was an important one: The senior members of his firm would be out front and he had been tipped off that if he han dled himself well he was in line to be elected to the board of directors When Slater inquired how he could be of help Eddie asked if he be hypnotized just before the meeting made to memorize his lines and then through post hyp notic suggestions directed to re main calm and speak forcefully He was prepared to pay Slater well for his time and trouble Next day shortly before speech making time Slater put the young executive in a trance and said going to read your speech to you and going to remember every word sit down front and when you get up to speak I shall snap my fingers At this sig nal you will square your shoulders and deliver your talk with confi dence and complete Half an hour later according to Slater Eddie walked up' to the platform wearing his confidence like a boutanniere and as the saying goes knocked dead The following week the young man showed up at the apartment He told him that thanks to the speech he had been appointed to the board of directors and was slated to make an even more important address before the New York Board of Trade He was Author Wins Suit Against Columnist tent (var) 29 Three at cards 30 Music note 31 A shade of brown 32 Paradise (poss) 35 Pillar of stone Rom

bureau for all the Connecticut organizations irst of all I sat in with a group who were discussing community or ganizations and the development of leadership in the community It seemed to me that this was done very well and that they covered most of the areas in which organizations function in the com munity The only thing they did not talk about was information on in ternational subjects which touches very closely the lives of all the people in a community and is a part of the activity of many organizations This they were to cover in a second meeting along with a discussion of the United Nations After lunch there was a plenary session at which all the different round table groups made short re ports Then they separated again some to visit the mu seum others to rest or do some quiet studying I went to the museum and was much interested One room is devoted in summer to out door projects which youngsters can undertake I thought this would be of great value to young mothers who once school is over sometimes find it difficult to keep their chil dren usefully occupied As one young mother wrote me "it seems as though suddenly I have too many quite difficult for a mother to make instructive suggestions for projects that chil dren of different ages can under take But at this museum the youngsters can' find any number of things just waiting for them to take up I was shown some of the ma terial that the museum sends out to schools and churches and other responsible organizations to be ex hibited under glass If you write in and say you would like an exhibi tion on Japan or China they will send you enough to give you a little idea of the life in those countries They also send out which are of such indestructible material that school children may handle them This of course is a great advantage The rest of the museum had the usual exhibits that can be found in any museum but I thought they were well mounted and that everything was shown with imagination In the evening Lliss Katharine Lenroot former chief of the Bureau spoke on the re sponsibility the community has for the atmosphere in which children grow I thought her speech very in teresting and helpful Pitching Horseshoes By BILljY ROSE Note: The Gallup Poll has conducted a survey to determine the number of cigaret smokers and their views rela tive to the possible effects of smoking as a cause of lung can cer ollowing is the first of a series of two articles) PRINCETON June orty five out of every 100 adults or some 46000000 smoke cigarets and they average a pack a day judging by results of a nation wide survey of cigaret smoking conducted by the Amer ican Institute of Public Opinion That adds up to slightly more than 1000000000 cigarets con sumed a day by adults It does not include sen icemen abroad or cig aret smokers under 21 Well over half or 57 per cent of all male adults questioned in file survey are cigaret smokers but only one woman in every three or 32 per cent smokes Other highlights: Not only do more men than wo men smoke but men smoke more cigarets than do women Cigaret smoking among younger people is more than twice as great as among the elderly More than half of all men and women aged 21 29 years light up cigarets whereas only a little more than one fifth of the people over 60 years of age are smokers poll was completed just before the announcement of the American Cancer study showing that there may be a con nection between heavy cigaret smoking and the incidence of lung cancer and heart disease particu larly among men 50 years of age and older Among men in this age group ing poll finds 44 per cent are cigaret smokers The views of smokers as well as those of the general public on he possible connection between cigaret smoking and lung cancer He Judged Oppenheimer Admiral Strauss could well have been more care ful about picking the judges to pass on Dr Robert Oppenheimer in the most important test of a top scientist in the history of the nation It now develops that Strauss picked as one of the three judges a man whose company had once exchanged valuable patents with Germany and Italy before Pearl Harbor who also urged commercial links with Soviet Russia and who when head of another company tried to send airplanes to South America in violation of the laws of the United States He is Tom Morgan former head of Sperry Gyro scope who voted that Dr Oppenheimer though loyal was a poor security risk and might leak infor mation to potential enemies Among the charges against Oppenheimer was that he once had Communist friends thoughit was stated that he had given no information to Com munists However the New York Times of Nov 23 1934 reports that Tom Morgan was a featured speaker at a dinner honoring Peter Bogdanov head of the Russian Trading Corporation Bogdanov was returning to Russia and Mr Morgan with other New York business leaders met at a big dinner to say goodbye and pay him tribute the said the New York hung the red flag of Russia with its crossed hammer and Morgan was then president of the Curtiss Wright Aviation Corp He was chairman of the Curtiss Wright board when a few months later March 30 1935 Curtiss Wright tried to ship four bombers to Bolivia then engaged in the Chaco war in violation of the neutrality act As a result Curtiss Wright was criminally prosecuted and fined $260000 with two of its subsidiary executives fined $11000 each Simultaneously Mr Morgan now retired was head of Sperry Gyroscope when it faced a criminal antitrust charge for exchanging patents with Ger man Italian and Japanese firms which the Senate munitions committee showed were for military pur poses and certainly could have been of value to a potential enemy The case was settled after Pearl Harbor with a consent decree In fairness to Sperry Gyroscope it should be noted that it is now leaning over backward against any exchange of patent in formation with foreign countries However this was the judge Thomas A Morgan picked by Admiral Strauss Jo pass judgment on rite scientist who developed the atom bomb because he might pass information on to a potential enemy BY DREW PEARSON WASHINGTON Republican and Democratic congressmen who attended the recent White House briefing on ar Eastern problems came away with a depressed feeling The depression they said was not so much because the situation was grave but because the administration seem to know what to do about it' The closed door session gives significant insight into how Eisenhower and Dulles were thinking dur ing their talks with Churchill President Eisenhower started the briefing with a short pep talk in which he called for bi partisan support Then he introduced Undersecretary of State Bedell Smith just back from the Geneva conference Gloomily Smith reported that rance is ready to accept an Indochina cease fire at any price and we will probably have to go along with it Inasmuch as we dictated the armistice terms in Korea on the ground that our boys were doing the fighting the rench are now insisting on fixing the terms in Indochina for the same reason The United States the undersecretary of statetold the senators is prepared to draw a in Indochina which would embrace Laos Cam bodia and part of Vietnam And if the Reds cross that line the United States would be willing to fight Smith left the impression however that the Redswould demand occupation of all Vietnam the wealthiest and most populated part of Indochina and that the rench would let them get away with it Secretary Dulles spoke up during one part of the briefing to say that he India might join an anti Communiat alliance if the Reds tried to in vade Laos and Cambodia because of India's cultural and religious ties with these two small states But he quickly added that he had no positive evidence Meanwhile Undersecretary Smith reported that tlic Chinese Communists are already wooing Laos and Cambodia He left the impression that as soon as the military offensive is halted the Reds would start a political offensive with honeyed words and to win over the rest of Indochina Knowland Cross Examines Only senator who fired any really hot questions at Smith and Dulles was Knowland of California the Republican Senate leader The Democrats asked few questions and there was no apparent desire to em barass the administration Sn Knowland however questioned Smith rather sharply as to where the final will be drawn in Indochina If we a fighting line now and proclaim that we will fight at that line would we not draw another line later Knowland asked and then retreat still farther to another line? Smith and Secretary Dulles never gave him a direct answer They talked around in circles Undersecretary Smith admitted that we were getting next to nowhere with the Southeast Asia alliance The key he said was India and he indi cated that England was taking her cue from India The report was so gloomy that Secretary Dulles felt compelled to give a little cheery talk and try to end the conference on an optimistic note Mendes rance government more nearly expresses the will and spirit of the rench Mr Dulles beamed He interpreted this as improving relations between the United States and rance and holding out for our policies Senators comparing notes afterward recalled that Dulles had told the same group before the Geneva conference that the only reason he was go ing to Geneva was to save his George from losing his job as foreign minister and to pre vent Mendes rance from the overthrow of the pro American Laniel government Dulles told the senators that the Geneva confer ence which he once described as the hope of the world could not yet be judged a failure because it over yet As the congressional group filed out Rep Vinson of Georgia snorted: Pure He was brewed the overhear WASHINGTON June I thought a long time ago that I twas all through writing pieces about free food freezers television sets and royal pastel mink coats These items you who have long memories may remember were among the favorite bribes for gov ernmental small fry in return for favors received You may even re call the bureaucrat worked but his own private code of mor als: Any ham up to 8 pounds net receive as a gift hams weigh ing more than that he considered a bribe Well sir it develops that the in vestigators only now are uncover ing some of this small time skul duggery which results in multi million doll ar profits for those who passed out the gifts It all happened back in the and tasy days of 1949 50 when the ederal Housing Administration was issuing mortgage loan insur ance for big apartment houses In general the builder of one of these edifices would take a loan for a million or so more than he needed and then simply pocket the extra dough All he needed to do this apparently was a federal appraiser with generous ideas And that said Deputy Adminis trator William McKenna of the housing and home finance agency explains some of those Christmas gifts The red haired McKenna who was appointed two and a half months ago to investigate the scandals within the HA charged that builders in many places regu larly slipped costly trinkets to those who approved the loans Here in Washington said he local builders one Christmas pre sented to HA people a total of eight console television sets and 18 wristwatches When this be came known at headquarters the head of the local HA office and his chief assistant were allowed to resign The other members of the staff were ordered to return their loot McKenna said there a single member of the HA office in Alaska who accepted gifts some four years ago Philadelphia it was the general practice of the staff to receive gifts from McKenna said He said it the intrinsic worth of the items that mattered so much but the fact that a man who acceped a $400 television set from a contractor was likely to approve a mortgage such as to give the rest of us taxpayers the heebies In testimony before the banking committee headed by Sen Homer Capeheart (R Ind) Mc Kenna produced the figures on 27 horrid examples consisting of over financed apartment projects in New York suburbs in Virginia and in Texas He said there were others He listed the fabulous profits that were garnered and he named those who did the garner ing Typical said McKenna was the case of the Beach Haven Apart ments of Brooklyn built by A rare bird a Le ser TIill mynah has vanished from the Detroit zoo Could beworse supposing it were a Greater Hill mynah!
