DETROIT, Mich, April 30.-A report
from two customs border patrolmen on
file today reveals how persistence and
pull will win in the long run.
These officers had watched with con-
siderable interest the movements back
and forth across the Detroit River of a
large power boat operated by Walter
Miller and Roland Rosenberg, neither
of whom had the appearance of gentle
men of independent income and aquatic
tastes.
Freqently the customs men boarded
the craft. One thing they noticed was
that always there was a rope hanging
over the side. They always pulled on it

pact, another article of the proposed

heard of each other until they met
under the Guinness roof. They moved
in worlds that we're far apart. What
did Rudy know of this great English
man who had risen from the obscurity
of the Liverpool docks to become a
distinguished barrister Of the realm and
later lord chancellor of Great Britain?
And what did Lord Birkenhead know or
care of the motion picture industry?
So, by way of polite conversation,
Lord Birkenhead said to Rudy:
SIS this your first trip to London,
Mr.. Valentino?"
Rudy courteously gave the answer the
London headlines had been shrieking
for two weeks, then asked with equal
innocence:
Have you ever been in America,
Lord Birkenhead?"
Lord B. had just returned from one
of his many trips to the United States,
where his speeches had caused SEN
sation in diplomatic circles. but what
were diplomatic circles to Rudy? Or
screen fame to Lord Birkenhead? The
rest of us politely stifled our smiles.
Rudy admired Lord Birkenhead great
ly when he learned he was a great
sportsman with kennels and a famous
string of racing horses all over Europe
and Lord Birkenhead admired Rudy be-
cause he was wonderful athlete.
From London we made beautiful

tested the hold-up an official nudged
him playfully in the ribs, winked at me

did not catch, but the manner in which
Rudy yelled back at him in the same
language made me fear a duel.
Talked With Dead Mother.
As Rudy flung himself angrily into
the car he explained to auntie and
me that this man had suggested that
after marrying an American heiress, he
could we'll afford to give few of his
dollars to his own country. Because

wouldn't speak to us for an hour. The
idea of insinuating he would marry fol
money! Wasn't as poor as he was?
This dampened his original ardor at be-

Paris was another round of interviews,
sightseeing, shopping and gala enter
tainment in our honor. Rudy spent
most of his time choosing the style and
materials for his specially built Voisin
racer, with its engine geared to 80 miles
an hour. Because the car couldn't be
ready for several months, the Voisin
people loaned us sport car to use in
the interim, in which we motored to
the Riviera.
Unfortunately for me, the roads were
in perfect condition, so Rudy could test
the speed of the motor. What matter
If both of us were killed while he was
engaged in this blissful experiment?
Every car on the road ahead of us was
an invitation to race past it-and we
did! Rudy was a clever driver, but what
a reckless one! Our trip was one mad
dash through Suffocating heat and dust

The climax came as We rounded one
curve at break-neck speed-apparent
nothingness stretched before us. To our
horror we saw it was a double curve,
a sharp hairpin turn, which no human
skill could make. Rudy wrenched at the
wheel and stood on the brakes, while
death blew its cold breath in our faces.
Then miraculously the car bumped to
a standstill, one back wheel hanging
over the edge of a yawning precipice.
I looked at Rudy. He was trembling
and deathly white. In small Shaky

At 10 O'Clock that night, exhausted

reached Juan les Pins and the Hudnut

and auntie. This is a beautiful place
which Mr.. Hudnut bought years ago
from a Russian count who had lost
all his money at Monte Carlo. During
the war 1t was loaned to the govern

he and mother redecorated 1t to use

Rudy was enchanted with it and dur
ing our visit was indefatigable. Long
before wakened next morning he was
out exploring the grounds. By the time
I was dressed for breakfast he had dis
covered the ideal place for a zoo, a
kennel for his dogs, boat house and
an outdoor cinema. AS soon as he had
made "all that money" we would live
here and he would build them all.
But Rudy was ever restless soul.
Before 10 days had passed he decided
we must push on to Italy. It was
his first visit home in 10 years and he
could not wait any longer.
Our entrance to Italy was not auspi-

were stopped and ordered to show our
