RESIGNATION UNACCEPTED
A recent denial by a certain ia
nous person of his JeWishness-it
might have been Fritz Kreisler-
reminds me of an old story told
about Magda (now Elena) Lup-
escu. She is reported to have
said in an interview about ten
years ago: II definitely deny be-
ing a Jewess. If someone would
look he would discover that when
I married Captain Tampeno years
ago, became converted to Christ
ianity. There really is no reason
to call me a Jewess, except that
some people wish to embarrass
my-er-friends."
Well, this column has no burn
ing desire to claim Lupescu, but
she would be interested in the
finale of this story, whose locale
is the South, not too far from the
Mexican resort where she is now
staying. A Negro tried to get

Lund, whose teams always have

In their respective fields, is one of
the most popular coaches in local
school circles. Despite the limited
number of senior high school stu
dents under his direction and their
comparative greenness, his teams
usually are in the thick of every
