unnerving and humiliating experience
of lifetime
Only yesterday he had been sud-

tiers at Calbay, to the distant town of
Trivandrabad. Thence. his official
business we'll in hand, he had wired
to his Sonia to meet him, on his re-
turn. at the wayside station of Hyder-
pur. His groom would be there with
his horse. and together. the affianced
. lovers would ride back to Calbay and
to breakfast.
Happily and proudly last night he
had entered his carriage on the eleven
thirty train, had undressed, lain him
self down upon his bedding, spread
upon the long padded seat by his
bearer, and fallen asleep.
He had awakened at about two
A. NJ. to find himself so appallingly
hot that he cast off his pajamas, the
sheet that covered him, and even dis
carded the rug and sleeping bag upon
which he lay. On the shiny material of
the seat, cool stuff like oilcloth, he
was more comfortable, and soon fell
asleep again.
He awakened a second time,
couple of hours later, to find most
villainous, horrible, murderous- look
ing thug, dacoit, robber, or railway
thief standing over him, a long, lean
knife in his hand, the hand raised. and
about to strike.

Gated in England. travelled in most of
the countries of the world and then
came to the United States. After
several years in the newspaper busi-

ability to another medium - radio.
In two nationwide polls he was voted
the outstanding news commentator.
There you have a chronological
summary of Commentator Carter.
Filling in the outline are adventures
in foreign lands - amusing. alarming,
aggravating. In addition. there are

him a staunch individualist, provide
him with the courage to state definite
convictions firmly and supply him

he wears his hat whenever he goes from
his fifth floor Office to the seventh
floor studios in the same Philadelphia
building for his broadcast.
When we interviewed MIR. Carter
he was sitting at his overburdened
desk in that Philadelphia office We
wanted to know something of his ad-
ventures in foreign lands. And the
stories he told took us to Persia.
Egypt, India, France, Mexico.
AS a neophyte journalist in Teheran.
he was the first person obliged to wear
a top hat for an interview with the
Shah of Persia. Just before receiving
therequest for ranappointment, H.R.H.
had gazed with admiration on pic
lures of top-hatted gentry in London
magazine. Thereupon he decreed that
the next person he received from that
capital city must sport topper!
Carter made an all-day intensive
search for high hat. But if there was
one in the city. nobody he'd spoken
to knew about it. Temporarily sus-
pending the search, he stopped at the
home of friend. The first thing he
spied in the entrance hall was much
coveted stove-pipe! Without word of
explanation. he grabbed the hat and
ran from the house.
Witha chuckle, he explained: when
tried it on at home, the wretched
thing stuck on top of my head like

For that paper he made a six-month
motorcycle tour through the south of
France, gathering stories about post
war rehabilitation. He saw a nation
torn by bullets and plowed under
by big-gun fire. He saw destitution
and violent grief. And then he found
spirit in the people - spirit that led
them to wish nothing more than to
rebuild their shattered homes. That
six-month tour made a seasoned news
paperman out OF cub reporter.

beauty OF forests in Nicaragua - the
recollection of all these and other

ter's mental reserve.
We asked him about the two years
he was in Mexico working in the oil
business. And he told us that in those
days keeping alive was largely a ques-
ton OF outwitting bands of revolu-
tioniSts.
He'll never forget the journey back
to camp from Tampico. when he car
ried $4,000 worth of uncut diamonds
to be used in well-drilling. He and a
Mexican helper drove their car over
the only road available - the favorite
rendezvous of desperate and his
gang. Halfway home, the two came

set on fire. Without thinking twice,
they sent the car through the smoke

The commentator ability to view
domestic and foreign events from
neutral corner comes as a direct result
ofsuch experiences - his broad travels
and his discotrses among the many
peoples of other nations. His early
adventures are the abrasive against
which he sharpens his interpretations
of occurrences and situations in to-
days news.
