WHEN Eddie Roberts is late
w for q luncheon dote with
his wife. he doesn't go into the
usual excuses about being de-
ldYed by ON important deul at
the Office. He just smiles. and
soYs. I'm sorry. Toots."
Lucille Roberts looks at him
intently for a moment, and then
says: why, that's okay. know
you met an old pal named Cad
wallader Gilhooley at the corner
of 59th Street and Fifth Avenue
and that you stopped in the Sher-
ry Netherland bar for a quick one,
but instead you had two Scotch
old-fashionedS and he had two
very dry martins with a twist of
lemon peel instead of an olive.
That's all right, Eddie. I don't
mind bit, just so long as you
don't try to deceive me-"
When you're married to a mind
reader, you might as well tell the
truth at the start, and get the
whole thing settled. Sometimes it
makes things tough, but it does
keep the air clear.
The Roberts couple claim their
marriage is based on complete
candor. Eddie never has told a
lie to Lucille. He knows better
than to try. And on the other
hand Lucille never has deceived
Eddie, either-at least, not sue
ceSSfully-for he is mind-reader,
too.
The two of them amaze dinner
and supper guests nightly at the
Pierre Hotel and other Swank
spots around New York by telling
the customers their names, home
towns, the color of their Aunt
Maggie's Sunday dress, and any
other bits of odd information the
guests may request. 49,.
Eddie and lucille have a mys-
tic belief in Lady Luck, which
has taken them around the world

RIO DE JANEIRO, Brazil, Aug

been futile. They said President
Higinio Morinigo of Paraguay had
refused to accept cessation of hos
tilities as. a condition for mediati ton
discussions.
(Paraguayan government state
ments last week claimed the cap

The Brazilian news agency Asa
press reported confusion in Asuncion
due to surprise among government
forces at the new vigor in the in
surgent ranks.
The agency said rebel infantry was
fighting into Piquette Cue near
Asuncion. The rebels claimed to
have captured Villa Haes, northeast
of Asuncion, and to be bombarding
Campo Grande, also near the capi-
tai. The report said rebels were at
tacking government forces at Pedro
Juan Cabellero and that 5000 in

said the insurgents had captured the
Brazilian border town of Ponta Pora.

Kon-Tiki Raft Passes
4,OOO-MiIe Mark
BY Thor HeyerdohI
North Amsrieon Newspaper Alliance


UNDER WAY IN THE TUA-
MOTU ARCHIPELAGO, Aug. l de-
layed The Kon-Tiki raft today
passed the 4e000-sea mile mark on
its drift from Callao. Peru, in the
wake of presumed migration of a
pre-Incan civilizing race of blond
sun worshippers to Polynesia.
The radius of the earth Is only
3,440 miles.
We are meeting high seas whipped
oy strong east wind which should
carry us toward Angatau or Takume
atolls, where a landfall may be at
tempted in few days, weather per-
mitting.
All is we'll on board and spirits arc
high.
The Norwegian expedition sighted
the atoll of Pukapuka on July 30.
1t was the first land they had seen,
and the first sign of human life in
the three months and a day they
had drifted across the Pacific on
their primitive Balsa raft, powered
only by wind and ocean current.
Contrary winds and storm damage
to their centerboard, which allowed
too much side-drift. prevented their
landing there. however, and they
are now drifting amid treacherous
cross-currents in the Tuamotu Is
land group, hoping to come across an
island against which they can run
aground.

We miss the sound of your footsteps
And your voice since you have gone,
And though We no longer see sor
In our hearts you still live on.
Why did you go when life was SO beautiful
And the dark clouds we're near.
To dim the brightness of our lives
Or start the bitter tears.

When night failed earth and sky,
That one SO full Of life and hope
Could not say good bye.
