Wang said, "You're crazier than

Jigger studded his toe kicking
the wall of the phone booth.
Dammit, Wang. You're PSYCHE
artist. You've got beaut of

your hokum to work and do some
good. I tell you the mans got to

knows something I've got to

'I'm not a magician, !Jigger.

''How yes?"
"He hasn't thrashed about since
the first night. He's taken food
every time it was served. Er-he
doesn't seem to resent me or
question his surroundings partic-

TIGGER yelled, "Hold on for a
- second!" He paused to organ
ize his thoughts. A psychic might
miraculously do the trick. The
town was full of clairvoyants,
seers, voodooists, working from
salons and furnished rooms every
where from Columbus Circle to
Grants Tomb. 1t might be a trick
a shade beyond their real capaci-
ties to get the dead to talk. but
Leeds wasn't dead. Leeds was
alive and for exactly those rea-

|Desire to Team With u. S. Seen
|Runninq Hiqh in Latin America

Latin America, as never before IN
history, wants to work as a team
with the United States.
This is the conclusion Of DR..
Octavio Reyes Spindola Of Mexico
City, who has just returned form
South America where he interviewed
President Gonzalez Videla Of Chile,
President Luis Battle Berries OF
Uruguay, President Juan D. Peron
of Argentina and President Gaspar
Dutra Of Brazil
DR.. Reyes Spindola summarized
his impressions yesterday In an In
tervieW at the Mayf1ower Hotel
When he returns here next month
he hopes for the privilege of calling
on President Truman. He also plans
to call on President Miguel Aleman
of his own country. Then he is
going to write for his own magazine,
Nos Otros, of his experiences under
the title of Six Presidents Speak. "
Nos Otros is one of two publica-
tions he owns. But he Is more
than a publisher. For Is years he
served his country in the diplomatic
corps. He is also a lawyer, and
during World War I he fought the
Germans as member of the French
Foreign Legion.
DR.. Reyes Spindola saw the danger
Of Communist penetration in South
America but was heatrened by the
way it is being counteracted.
This was especially true ir
Chile" he said, but President vi
della has a strong fist. In Uruguay
also the president has the situation
in hand. And in Argentina, Gen
Peron has cleaned up everything
Argentina is absolutely anti-Com-
munistic.
my impression after interviewing
the four presidents is that all want
teamwork with the rest of the con.
tinent. All believe in the Marshall
plan. So do I. Speaking from my
IS wears experience in the diplo-
matte service I would say that il
America does not send hasty help tc
Europe, Russia will go through
Europe like tank; nothing could
stop it.
The only antidote for COM
munism is America-the United
States and all 20 Latin American
countries"
DR.. Reyes Spindola spent three
months In Argentina.
