There Is some justice in the fool.
fish world. And every piece OF good
luck ought to be reported. There
fore:
Gene Tunney. recently a COM
mander in the United States Navy
came 10 washington TO attend the
dinner honoring Vincent Flaherty.
The handsome one-time heavy
weight boxing champion carried a
suit case and a brief case bursting
with important papers.
Very important papers he meant
TO put into some permanent record
OF the war.
At Union Station he was met by
a big car and chauffeur sent by
most powerful friend....wait a sec
ond for the fellows name!
AS soon as Tunney reached the
Tlaherty banquet room he realized
that he had left his bag and brief
case in the car. But did he worry?
Indeed. no! The owner OF the car
was-guess who?.. Why It was that
well known solver OF mysteries and
protector Of the innocent, J. Edgar
Hoover.
Before the Flaherty dinner had
got down TO the toastmaster's OPP
ening remarks. the suit case and
the missing brief case had been re-
turned to Tunney.
As for that rumor that Tunney
may enter politics in the Connect
cut arena with an eye turning 10
Washington-the rumor may be
taken seriously. Some present
member OF the United States SEN
ate is going TO find a new hat IN
the election day ring. Warning!
Speaking OF Connecticut: The
special Senate committee on atom
&c energy is headed by Senator
Brien Mcmahon OF Connecticut,
chairman. and includes the other
upper House representative OF the
Nutmeg State-Senator Thomas c.
Hart. who was a United States ad-
miral not long ago. Other members
OF the committee are Senators Ed
win c. Johnson, Willard Tydings,
Arthur H. Vandenberg, Eugene d.
Milliken, Warren r. Austin and B.
B. Hickenlooper Somebody added
up the years these gentlemen had
served in Congress. The total was
101.
The two members who had serv-
ed least time were Senators Nc
Mason and Hart-each with a year
apiece. Connecticut infants, both OF
them.
I asked one member Of the sena-
toral atomic energy committee
what he thought should be done
about the atom bomb. He said
solemnly:
Get down on your knees and
pray"
oee
Don't tumble Veterans aid"
Veterans Administrator Omar Brad
ley told the nation last week and
asked communities 10 back up
good intentions" with good
works"
Perhaps the general would be
interested in this letter sent me by
the mother OF young boy who ZEN
listed at I9 at the close OF his first
year in college. Contracted an H.
ness which resulted n him wearing
a brace on his back and a perman-
ent injury TO his leg.
MY son took one semester at
Guilford college under the @. l.
Bill OF Rights. He found since he
is never free from pain that II was
impossible for him 10 study. He
has been approved for trade school
with an aptitude Of 81 to learn
Matchmaking However, he is on
long waiting list. Also he pre-
fers 10 be independent OF me, a
working mother. Today had
this letter from him.
Dearest Mother am very rap
idly learning about money. Have
a light breakfast, a good lunch and
snack for dinner. (Save 80 cents
to dollar dav this way. Bought
pair OF Stacks and four shirts
with your check.
IAN so tired Of being turned
down on jobs....The janitor in my
rooming house says there's an open
ing in the Y.M.C.A~ II pays al
most nothing but get my room
free. II can't get that Job I reck.
on I'll either drive a truck or a
taIicab. Cab driving wouldn't be
as hard on my back as truck driv-
ing. But truck drivers are such
swell fellows. l Just don't know
what to do"
