keep out of trouble. Don't know
whether Jack In careless. unlucky,
bad. or a victim OF circumstances. but
he surely does put his foot In II OFTEN
This time II looks Hike real trouble
for johnson has just been indicted .by
the Federal Grand Jury on . charge
Of smuggling q $500 diamond necklace
into the country. I'm afraid Jack VIII
md that It's no joke to be hauled up
before the Government, no matter how
little he has been bothered by hnes Tor
speeding and other minor ohenses IN
the past

I'm sorry for johnson. After all, no ID

troubles have been caused more by
sheer carelessness and irresponsbility
than by wickedness.
