NEW lUth, Tep. ~
ary world is aflutter with the news
of the row between Owen Johnson,
the author, and Everybodys Maya
zinc. The controversy arose over the
editorial expansion Of the final chap
ter of Johnson's latest novel winch
ran serially in the magazine Tor
year.
According to the editors the last
installment was delivered with note
for a check for the balance due on
the serial. Ny, my, yes authors often
get checks. Johnson stated he was
going to Europe the next day and
could not be consulted regarding the
last chapter.
The editors said they got the i'm
preston that the last chapter was
written on the lid of steamer trunk,
Despite the rights of authors, they
felt they owed something to their
readers and rewrote the last chapter
on a trusty typewriter in their ONCE
When Johnson saw his revised brain
child he was just as mad as wet
hen and he told those editors what
he thought The editors turned right
around and printed the chapter as
Johnson had sent it in to show him
how they felt about it. The chapter
as written does not read as well as
the revised version. But Johnson
should worry. There are millions OF
people who worry through life with
out reading serials.
Marjorie Rambeau, star Of sadie

Young Carroll and Miss Rambeau

Also. he has never ridden on a sightseeing

He's been to the Statue of Liberty and has

He knows all of the fish in the Aquarium by
sight and some Of them by name. He makes
frequent trips to the Metropolitan Museum
and often walks up the Bowery. The Bronx
Zoo, the Museum of Natural History, the APP
pellate Courts Building are familiar ground
to him. He's been around the island on a
sightseeing yacht, has visited the Brooklyn
Navy Yard and occasionally takes in Coney
Island.
Why does he go to all these places, you ask?
Well. he's President of the Borough of Man
haitian, isn't he? And if the President Of the
Borough of Manhattan doesn't care enough
about the visiting spots of his own baiiwick

FEEDING AMERICAN HISTORY IN

the tablet was, directly beneath the Mayor
window just where it had been ever since tho
youngster took up selling papers at that poin-.
Immediately organized into a history class
of one, the boy was told how, on July Q, 1913
just five days after the signing of the Dec
laration of Independence-W Washington caused
the bulk of his volunteer army to be drawn
up on the site of the present City Hall whers
the soldiers listened to the reading Of it.

with this bare outline Of the situation and
asked for more details. AS they were being
recited he looked at the grassy plot with an

often, but had never climbed its winding stairs

been in the Aquarium in years; he didn't care
much for fish, anyway. Yes he'd been in Che

SOME DAY, IN THE NEXT FIFTY
YEARS. {. p. MAY LOOK THE
TOWN OVER

An investigator who sets out to prove that
New York is tcyvo ncogrta to New Workers
will have no trouble. The New Yorker who
knows Fraunccs's Tavern other than by name
is hard to find. He may know that George
Washington liked to sup there, but it's an
odds-on wager he's forgotten that that illus
trious American delivered his farewell TO his
generals in the famous Long Room Of the inn
that now stands at the corner Of Broad and
Pearl Streets just as it did then.
II may be argued that no onc-even a New
Yorkcr-need be expected to remember his
high school history, but it may also be argued
that the man who doesn't know Wall Street is
called Wall Street because Peter Stuyvesant
built wall along its length, from river to
river. to defend himself against possible in
va-ion from New England, has probably
never seen the inside Of the historic Aquar-
ium. where Jenny Lind sang in the days when
IL was Castle Garden and where Lafayette
and Kossuth were received upon their arrival
i'm America.
BY the same token it may also be demon
strated that. if he is unaware of the fact that
the New Amsterdam whipping post and pill
lorv stood at Broad and Wall Streets in 1868,
me may also justly be accused Of never hav-
ing been TO Grants tomb.
II would be news to such a man, too, no
doubt. that the gentlemany sportsmen Of the
Dutch settlement leased Bowling Green, that
they might have a secluded spot in which to
