NOTES OF A NEW YORKER
 Doctor Dafoe, in speech before the Medical Assn of Canada, re- vealed this incident the other day w. Their Majesties, 1t appears, so enjoyed meeting the quintuplets that they prolonged the visit beyond the allotted schedule This annoyed one of the officials of the Ontario Govt. He went up to Dafoe and irnpatiently said: Come, now. Take the five little gels away" The docs retort was as salty as 1t was to the point. Hell" 1" he said, take the King and Queen awayl"
 Lowell Thomas discussed the beat ing administered to colunnist Cas- sini of the Washington Times Herald by five Virginia sports men" s'The newspapers" said Lowell, 'ssaid that five sportsmen beat him up. According to New York sports writers, they should be called the five-to-one sportsmen'l"
 Grover Whalen gave luncheon for the publishers of the Man. haitian papers the other noontime
 The Big Idea was to discuss with them a better press for the Words Fair .. 1. Instead, Whalen aroused and groaned about the knocks. Particularly mean is the Chicago Tribune" he remarked, 'they enormously reported that hot dogs at the Fair sell for $100 and fifty cents for mustard" -. Whalen banned other papers and newspaper men and certain columnists :. This columns syndicate boss wasn't im- pressed "You sent for us," he said, ito help you exploit the Fair, and all you've done is complain about our writers. You should try promoting some goodwill, maybe that would help" And so saying he departed ... The nearest thing to goodwill the Fair has done to date is to hire Leo Casey for its press bureau |. Whalen has never gotten over the kidding of one columnist, who years ago itemed: "EIe wears flower in his lapel be- cause it simply won't stay in his hair!"
 The columns Girl Friday reports that the paragraph here Monday concerning the allegedly dead" MT. Whitfield (who has been missing with his plane since April, 1938) brought phone call from gentle man who described himself as a brother-in- of the fellow . What's this in the column" he de- manded, about Whitfield?" How true is it?" She told him it was true so far as she knew. That the hideaway for the man and the plane was at his dads barn in Vir- ginia Well" was the answer. i've checked and he's not there. It may have been true two weeks ago, but not now!" Of course, not now! Perhaps the chap is back in toWn-since the secret hid- ing place was made public At any rate. he's writing letters regu- larly to locals.
 ssRedo Rolfe of the N. Y. Yankees baseball team has aroused a New York group of Americans :. They've written protests to the team management threatening boycott until Rolfe is forced to stop writing for local gazette with Communistic connections This decision was made at a meeting following a fiery address for recognition of free dom of the press and free speech! Rolfe says he isn't Com munist . His column is distri- buted by syndicate and the only outlet it could promote in New York ws.s the paper objected to by the boycotters :. The column on sports by Rolfe is considered very good by competitors And that is high praise, indeed.
