PERS ALITIES
By Nellie DodsOn

Who'll I heckle this week, Ell ?
Let me see-well, Charlie Ukkerd
looks as if he could stand a little
heckling. He comes from Phila-
delphia originally, but New York
got hold of him some way or an
other. He's a Howard University
man and, like most Howard men,
he has ego enough for three other
guys. Before he came up here, he
thought everybody who lived west
Of Chicago was barbarian; after
six months here, he still thinks So.
You can't argue with the big bum
because he simply plants his fist
down and SEE: "I'm right" That's
the cue for you to give up entirely
and say: Cali right you're right.
So what?" He's an authority on
wimmen, but some day a gals gon-
ma come along who doesn't fit any
Of his rules, and then he's going
to be sunk. He'll fall so hard that
the crash will be heard clear in
Ethiopia. Emperor Halle will say:
"Ah,. another earthquake in bally
old America"
Charlie has about six out-of-
town gel friends. They all flood
his postoffice box out at school with
letters and special deliveries. One
fem even calls him long distance
and sends him kilograms. In order
to keep his postoffice box clear,
Charlie has to stand guard and
get the letters as they arrive. When
one of the most important pieces
of scribbling fails to show up on
time, Charlie won't bulge an inch
away from his box. The janitor
almost sweeps him up, but at the
last moment sees that it's a human
being cluttering up the place, and
not an old newspaper. Ho hum.
