Proud OF Virgins Origin
sI have often been called wild since
I left home but / never have been
called a peach until I came back"
was the way she began her speech,
referring to her introduction by Frank

Press who said in discussing the
apple episode in the Garden of Eden,
that man has ever fallen for the
peach, whether it be wild or culti-
vdted'

bigoted patriot is no use to any
country, even his own"
In discussing the press. she said:
"The press of a country is a lit
tie different from ambassadors. We
send our ambassadors and they can
interpret their governments. but the
press can even so farther they can
interpret the different peoples. And
that is why the Associated Press has
been, | think, really one of the great
est agents for progress that we have
known in our generation. You can
not realize how great that responsi-
hility is. / do not want to flatter the
press. ! do not really like to flatter
any one.
