Eat, Sleep and Love

"Ah," he murmured, what a
place that was! Ludwig liked
the chief and the chief liked
Ludwig. I would eat and eat
and eat. I would lcve and love
and love. And I would sleep
and sleep and Sleep"
But, Ludwig" II reminded him,
you're not as young now as
you were then. Your eating,
loving and sleeping would not
be quite the same if you went
back now"
He sighed.
II suppose that's true" he
said ruefully. I'D have to cut
out eating so much"
Just one more of Ludwig
Kwayssar's observations, and
I'll let you go for the day After
we had talked for what must
have been hours. suddenly shot
a question at him.
Ludwig" I asked, there's
just one thing I don't under
stand. After seeing as much
as you have Of the world and
knowing what you know about
it, how is it that you can settle
in such an ancient city as this
and remain content? I know
you were born here, but what
does that mean?
Plenty" he returned. 'I
wouldn't take a million dollars
for my memories. But still in
all, when I came back to this
city in which I was born, I
went up on the hill and looked
at my Prague for half an hour
before I went to my old home.
IF you were away from
America for twenty-three years
and you came back to the
Statue of Liberty. you couldn't
see enough of it either. Be
cause, no matter what had gone
before, you'd know you were
home again"
And oh, brothers and sisters,
how right he is!

The Guides Talk

line OUIQ6 ) ] dix
The moment I hit a town
and the guide arrives in my
room, I generally talk along
the following lines:
Listen, buddy, and don't talk
until I've finished. I'm going
around the world and I haven't
much time to waste here. I'm
not the average tourist and I
don't want to stand on the very
SPOT where Alexander the Great
gave Napoleon Bonaparte the
boat in which George Washing
ton crossed the Delaware. Nor
am I interested in museums, re-
ligious houses, ernm e n t
buildings, statues or beautiful
carvings.
What I want are people
Northumberland, If neceS-
sary, misery. Show me what I
want and, no matter what your
salary is, you'll get more. Show
me what I don't want or try to
sell ME anything, md you'll get
nothing. That's all for now.
Meet me in the lobby in half
an hour"
That spiel is the result Of
many things I've learned on
this trip. It produces the de-
sired effect and they seldom
try to gyp me any more. Not
much.
All of which brings me to Mr..
Ludwig Kwayssar, Prague's
head guide and character ex-
traordinary. Ten minutes after
I requested a guide, he was in
my room. Ludwig is a short
man with twinkling eyes. His
face seems to be weatherbeaten,
and his hair is iron-gray. You'd
Judge his age anywhere from
Is to SIS.
He stood at ease as I
looked at him.
Listen, buddy" I began as
usual, 'I'm going around the
world and I haven't much time
to waste here I'm not the
average tourist and I'm not
looking for"
Looking for Color
churches, museums or gov
eminent buildings" he fin
ished. IT know. You want the
real life of this city. You're
looking for color and romance"
The man was uncanny. I
gulped.
"I've been around the world
three times" he replied, "look-
ing for the same thing as you
are now. That's how I know"
did you ever find it?" I
asked.
Never" he returned shortly.
That's fine" I asserted.
"What's your price to work for
me, day and night, while I'm
here?"
"For the average tourist" he
responded, my price would be
200 crowns. But you, evidently,
are insulted if you are referred
to as an average tourist. There
fore, because of your impor-
tance, will double the price.
From this minute on, am cost
ing you 400 crowns a day."
I shook hands with Ludwig
and hired him on the spot.
What else could you do with a
guy like that?
Before a day had passed Lud-
wig and I were the best of pals.
We understood each other,
somehow. For every story that
he told me about his adventures
around the world, he permitted
me to tell one about Broadway.
I was fascinated by his yarns,
and he seemed a trifle inter-
ested in mine. That made
everything even.
The mans history would make
a swell book. This chap has
done everything that Trader
Horn ever dreamed Of doing;
the only difference being that
when Ludwig tells a story, you
believe hin implicitly. Born in
Prague, he left the city in 1900
and returned in 1928. He came

Immediately reformed their ranks
and continued the march.
Workers Organize Crowd
The crowd had waited nearly an
hour at the Pennsylvania station.
Police had kept the crowd away from
the track. The workers own COM
mittees organized the ranks SO as
to permit passage for Leibowitz.
''I'm going back there Saturday
and make a forum out of that court, /"
Samuel S. Leibowitz, chief trial at
torney for the International Labor
Defense in the Decatur trial, told a
representative Of the Eeily Worker
as the Chattanooga-New York train
was pulling into Pennsylvania Sta
ton where the Negro and white
workers were waiting to demonstrate
for the release Of the Scottsboro boys
by giving him q rousing welcome.
Put System On Trial
'I'm going to put on trial the
bigotry, racial prejudice and the eco
nonic and social issues raised by the
Scottsboro case" Leibowit2 declared.
1.-The evidence in the trial was COM
pletely ignored in the Patterson trial.
The jurors had made UP their minds
beforehand that they were going to
send the boy to the electric chair"
Negro porters and Pennsylvania
employees openly contributed to the
Scottsboro collections girls we're tax
ing up. Copies Of the Daily Worker
were bought by the workers in uni
form, defying the espionage of the
company detectives.
Back Defense
Just before the train arrived Ne
gro speaker mounted the high steps
at the end OF the station. He could
not talk because Of the cheering that
went up for the Scottsboro boys.
LeibowitZ's train had arrived. The
looking lawyer was swept off
his feet by group that had pene-
trated the police lines. Carried on
their shoulders he was brought into
the station, waving his hat to the
crowd.
The lines of workers broke, tu-
multous cheering resounded against
the walls. Thousands surged toward
Leibowitz and carried him on their
shoulders. They pushed the police
aside and poured out the 31st ST
driveway, stopping traffic there.
Defy Police
Sol Harper, Negro vet, mounted
the space around column on the
street. The momentum Of the crowd
carried them past him UP to the 33rd

march TO Harlem. The crowd thumb
cred it's agreement. At this moment
