NEW YORK. April 2O-The mod
ern version of that pen and sword
proverb - that the highbrow is
mighuer than the roughneCk-was
exempliied here wednesday by Ed
ward Roche Hardy. Jr., 12-year-old
Columbia university phenom.
Turning loose a verbal battery OF
the dOzen-odd languages he IS vers-
ed in, Edward talked himself out OF
captivity in darkest Long Island.
where he had been spirited by six
husky sophomore knidnappers
Edward is cas- in the star role OF
the varsity show You'll Never

supposed to stand around and kid
the performance with his ambi-
deXtrous tongue. No freshman had
ever before participated In the var
sity show The sOphomores were
outraged. They planned 70 kidnap
the prodigy. The freshmen learned
of the plot.
A battle royal was staged on the
campus yesterday afternoon, in
front Of Edwards home. with the
boy as the prize and his mother a
witness. The ,ophs won and Ed
ward was carried away in a taxi.
Pretty Soft, Says
At some point in Long Island
Edward doesn't know where-he
languished in captivity while the
varsity show producers wept and

al His parents. both college pro-
fessors, yawned in ennui. It was old
stuff to them.
The usual Establishments failed 20
move the lowbrow sophs. Then Ed
ward began pleading in Latin, The
harangue was switched TO Hebrew,
then French. German. Russian.
Swedish, Spanish, and other tongues
followed in a linguistic avalanche.
No third degree was ever more
effective. The sophomores wilted,
one by one. Their tymphanums
ached, their heads ached, they
ached all over Human endurance
could stand no more.
Shortly before dawn today Edward
was deposited at his door. After
greeting his bored parents the boy
permitted himself one of his rare
lapses into cOlloquialism.
