"By integrity I mean that when you promise a customer something, we must keep that promise even if we lose money." "And what is wisdom?" asked the new man.

"Don't make such fool promises." 'll A RE you acquainted with any of the jury-f men?" the district attorney asked the elderly witness. "More than half," answered the old gentleman. "Are you willing to swear that you know more than half of them?" persisted the D. A. "Well, if you want to put it that way." replied the old-timer, looking over the jurors, "I'm willing to swear that I know more than all of them put together!"

"Not me," replied the youngster.

MEMORIES MIXED EMOTIONS If you were Uncle Sam you would wear a perplexel look, too. Th business of entertaining foreign rulers can be most complex and as AP artist Dick Hodgins, points out sometimes humorous. Uncle Sam can look back on the time when a photographer asked the queen of Rumania to show a little more leg, a Russian grand duke became enamored with an Indian girl, a confidence man victimized a princess of Afghanistan, and the kin of England was introduced to the hot dog. Nikita K.

Would Do Well to Be on His Guard 153 A MAN missed the last bus from town and tried to hitch a ride by signaling several passing cars. Three passed without stopping, but the fourth was going slowly and as it approached, stopped, whereupon he entered very gladly. But, to his horror, no one was within driving the car, which moved slowly on and finally came to a complete halt in front of a cemetery. The neighboring church clock struck midnight at this moment, slowly and ponderously, and the young man, now thoroughly unnerved, leaped from the car and ran away. He looked back for an instant and noticed i man apparently trying to enter the car.

He cried out: "Don't go into that car. There's something terribly wrong with it!" To which the other man replied fervently: EDITOR'S NOTE No matter how good the planni ng, state visitors to the United States frequently are re-at -public affairs.

So you'll has happened By TOM HENSHAW Associated Press Writer Cjl 1USTARD?" asked the President of the United States. 1V1 "Please," said the King of England.

'vj And a new legend was born. It's usually that way with state visits to America. The more carefully planned and momentous they are, the more they are remembered for some small unforeseeable incident. It may turn out that way with Nikita Khrushchev. King George VI was the first reigning British monarch to visit the United States in 1939.

But the trip might have been forgotten had he not sampled a hot dog at President F. D.Roosevelt's place in Hyde Park. The culinary episode Inspired a calypso singer named Wil-moth Houdini to belt out an Immortal little ditty called "Hot Dogs Made Their Name," two lines of which went: "So he held his hot dog in his hand "And faced hot dog man to man." The stately tour of the Russian Grand Duke Alexis Roman-, surprised at nothing, here's a quick briefing on what in the past. "Let's have a little more leg, Queenie." Princess Fatlma of Afghanistan was sitting In a New York hotel room, awaiting an Invitation to visit the Secretary of State, when a little man in faultless diplomatic dress and manner appeared. He was, he announced, Undersecretary Stanley Clifford Weyman come to whisk her off to Washington to meet, not only the Secretary of State, but President Harding as well.

After the payment of a $10,000 "gift," he suggested was standard procedure, the Princess did indeed meet the Secretary and the President apparently without even noticing "Under Secretary" Weyman. had changed into a naval officer's uniform for the occasion. Later, when the boys from the State Department and the Navy got around to comparing notes, there was an Investigation. Weyman wasn't an undersecretary. He wasn't a naval officer.

We find it hard to believe, but the three questions most frequently asked of RAMAC by Russians at the Moscow Fair were (According to "Down 1. How much do American cigarettes cost? (This gives them a basis for comparison of all consumer goods).

2. What is the American dream? (Boy! Am I glad they asked RAMAC and not 3. What Is the direction of American jazz? The fifth ranking query was, "What is American rock 'n roll." The jazz periodical quotes RAMAC's answers: "Jazz becomes more complicated as the players increase their training-, but the tendency is always to return to the freely improvised solo." and "It stems from the old blues form and represents a minor phase in the overall strain of American music."

The sleek Ray Charles Singers warble a baker's dozen all-time favorites including "Mv Buddy," "Buffalo Gals" and "Kentucky Babe." Incidentally.

"New York, New York," DL .9216. This George Russell composition, or compilation, tells the story of the Big City and tells it well. This hip view of Manhattan may be a little "out" for some listeners, but that makes it no less incisive. It's difficult to say who is most responsible for the success of this effort Russell, narrator Jon Hendricks (of Lambert-Hendricks-Ross) or the musicians. The side-men include a veritable Who's Who of current jazz: Bob Brookmeyer, Art Farmer, Benny Golson, Max Roach, Bill Evans, Barry Galbraith, Phil Woods, John Coltrane, Frank Rehak, Milt Hinton, Don Lamond, Hal McKusick, Joe Wilder and others.

Alexis went hunting in Nebraska with Buffalo Bill himself but, it was reported, the royal visitor proved more interested in stalking the sister of an Indian chief than buffalo. It was at the 1872 Mardi Gras that Alexis now neatly disentangled from his Indian maiden first heard the melody "If I Ever Cease to Love." He liked it.

BIG SUNDAY PRESS CROSSWORD PUZZLE ALBERT, Prince of Wales, later King Edward VII, picked an unfortunate time for his visit in 1860. A hot presidential Campaign was on and a Civil War was brewing.

But the Prince didn't go unnoticed. Not in Boston, he didn't. There he met Ralph Farnham, 104-year-old veteran of the Battle of Bunker Hill. Snorted old revolutionary Farnham to the prince: "Too damn much royalty around these days." Prince Bertie's visit was recalled in New York, too. Particularly by an unidentified carpenter.

The floor of a ballroom collapsed under the weight of the Prince's admirers. Repairs were made so hastily that the carpenter was said to have been nailed under the new floor for a time. It is unlikely that Nikita Khrushchev's American admirers can summon the weight to collapse any floors. It's even more improbable he ever will face the situations that confronted two visiting royal ladies. Weighs Poison Island group SW.
