NOTES OF A NEwsPAPERMAN

NOTES OF A NEWSPAPERMAN
F. d. r. enjoyed spinning this
yarn to illustrate adroit diplomacy
in action :. Famed statesman TAI
ieyrand was once thanked by a
beautiful blonde and brunette at
a dinner table. When the blonde
asked which one he preferred, the
diplomat answered: THE one who
will favor me with a look" .
But the lady wasn't satisfied, ask
ng: Suppose we were both drown
ng-which one would you save?"
Talleyrand retorted that he
would help both, or the one in the
greatest danger But she was
persistent: Suppose the peril was
Equally IMMINENT" He gameiy
replied that he would give his right
hand to the blonde and his left to
the brunette T.. But if you could
save only one, which one would
q. you choose?"
Talleyrand intoned: well, mad
anne, you know so many things, I
suppose you could swim"
Newsmen at the San Francisco
confab were tossing around tie
conversation medicine ball, when
Senator Vandenberg passed by. He
is one of the most important mem
berS Of the American delegation.
1t prompted one reporter to recell
the Senator's delightful observation
when informed of the birth OF his
first grandchild: II don't mind De-
ing a grandfather, but I'm little
dubious about being married to a
grandmother.
Diplomats have habit of con-
cocting verbose public statements.
Their opinions are cushioned with
majestic lingo which almost suf-
focate the ideas they endeavor 20
convey. The following yarn offers a
refreshing contrast: When Czecho-
slovakia was Nazi-controlled, re-
porters in London asked Czech
Minister Jan Masaryk to express
his war aims. His reply is a model
of eloquent simplicity: Il want to
go home"
