GIRL SCOUTS
Dinner Served 70 Persons
Eight New Girls
Welcomed

The tables were turned on Tues
day night and the Girl Scouts OF
Troop 5. Sunset Park, entertained
their fathers, instead of their moth
ers, as has been the custom.
Mrs. Eben Lewis, troop leader.
said that the idea originated when
n of the fathers complained that
the mothers were always invited
and the fathers never were.
So the girls issued invitations
to their fathers to attend a banquet
in the Sunset Park Baptist church
- and the fathers turned out foI
the event almost 100 per cent.
Dinner was served to 70 persons.
and a welcome was extended to the
dads present by Alice Damien
baum, president of the troop. Ro-
bert Dannenbaum gave an I'M
promptu response for the fathers.
Joan Pierce rendered thanks.
After dinner, a candle lit investi'
ture ceremony, officially welcoming
eight new girls into scouting, was
held, and scout badges were
awarded to a number of the girls
A series of quiz games were en-
tered into by both the scouts and

iva Victor in Ruling
On Greek Airline
By the Asseeioted Press

ATHENS, May 8.-Trans World
Airline appeared assured of victory
today in its fight to regain control
Of the highly profitable, American
financed Greek National Airline.
A special commission of the
Greek Ministry of National Econ
omy ruled last night that stock is
sued by Managing Director Steven
zotos was invalid. Col. Cedric A.
Seager of Winchester, Mass, vice
president of the Greek line, said
he had been apprised of the ruling
and summoned a meeting of the
Board of Directors for May IT.
A Greek court ruled several days
ago that a TWA issuance of stock
in a reorganization was invalid, but
said 1t was not competent to rule
on an original issue of 13,108 shares
OF stock by zotos and $4,000 by
TWA.
The ministry's ruling last night
called the TWA issuance valid and
zoto's invalid. 1t also ruled that
both Seager and Athanassios Mates
sis, TWA attorney, had been legally
elected to the Board Of Directors.
The next step in the fight for con-
troll Of the line will be request by
TWA for new court hearing, based
on the miniStry's findings.

Is
again. Henry McLemore
This man, with laugh on his
lips. has decided to accept the Hope
diamond, and its vicious curse, il
those who have 1t in charge will
turn 1t over to him.
He-and know the man well
will pay hts own expenses to Wash
ington to get the accursed stone
and guarantee that once 1t Is laid IN
his hands no one will ever have to
worry about 1t again.
The Name Is McLemore.
Who is this hero? Who is this
man of such majestic bravery that,
for mere two or three-million dol
lar diamond, will run such risk?
His name Is McLemore-Henry
McLemore.
To look at McLemore, one would
never pick him as a man who
would volunteer for such a task.
To tell the truth, he looks bit run
down and seedy in his three-day
growth of beard and unpaid for suit.
But appearances are sometimes de-
ceiving. Actually, he has the heart
of lion, the face of a chimpanzee,
the elbows of a tiger. the biceps of
buffalo, the ribs of rf1inoceros,
and the cerebellum of a crocodile.
I managed to get an interview
with Mcbemore a few hours after
he decided to accept the Hope dia-
mond and 7 asked him why he
had chosen to take on such a re-
sponsibility.
"Well," hessaid, as he toyed with
an elk's tooth with cavity in 1t,
well, I'll tell you. I'd like one
McLemore to die rich. Most OF
them have died of malnutrition
sunstroke while picking cotton, and
