when an individual is preoccupied

on one thing - Doodling is an
international pastime.
Inspired by speeches and
tedious t~ranslations, the top dip
lomats from Russia to Latin
America cover scratch pads and
envelopes with pictures, geometric
designs a n d seemingly s%enseless
scribbling.
Psychologists, playing it cagey,
won't come right out and say what
these doodles mean, but they do
arrive at some tentative and pre-
liminary" indications from the
delegates art work.
Take the bold, geometric figures
sketched by the Soviet Unions
Andrea Gromyko, who has the dis
tinction of being the only ambidex-
trous doodler at this U. N. session.
Gromyko draws heavy line geo.
metric designs. Some look k e

Others look like crude architec-
tural plans or free hand versions

Noticed, the frail and snow white

Changsen, contrary to his nor

door and slammed it. The arm was

The arm "just disappeared"
Changsen said. Obviously a ghost.
Others of the staff, with unaccus-

learn the history of the haunt.
They turned UP the following
facts: the present United Press
offices were occupied during the
way by one Kimkura, a Japa-
nese. On the floor below lived a
beautiful Chinese servant girl. One
morning her body was found
dangling from a rope in the bath
room. She had chosen death to dis
honor.
The Chinese believe the soul of
one who died because of anothers'
wrong is permitted by the gods
of hell, who pass judgment On all
souls, to float about the earth,
seeking a way to get even. Some,

The firecrackers were necessary
because the United Press officers
at No. 9 Chungcheng Liu were
haunted by ghosts. In China, you
see, ghosts can present a serious
complication in an already unbe-
lievably complex labor situation.
