THE
GL|D0GRAM

WE HAVE a hunch that these pages
w may start a new national craze.
And the story of how Glidograms got
here in the first place is complete
rebuttal to any tale you ever heard of
hard-hearted literary circles.
1t began few weeks ago in the Office
of John Kieran, journalist, nature
lover, Information Please" expert.
His secretary appeared: "Mr. Kieran,
know you have about two minutes of
free time. But outside in the Office is
very sweet man who says he has to see
you. Once you see him, he'll only take
minute and you won't be sorry"
So Richard Guldenstein, with his
rather owlish, sad look, got minute
with Kieran. Forty-five minutes later,
Kieran called Van Cartmell, one of the
editors of Doubleday and Co. The
conversation went something like this:
Van, there's man in my office who
was supposed to be here minute but
now it's an hour. l think you should
see him. He's invented puzzle called
the Glidogram and think he has some
thing. Have you got five minutes?"
Mr.. Cartmell spent an hour. He
worked one puzzle but got stuck on the
second. Then he called THIS WEEK.
His conversation was almost word-for-
word like Kieran's. That's how Mr..
Guldenstein came to US. We got stuck
on the third puzzle. We would like to
hear how you do.
Mr.. Guldenstein invented Glido-
grams 20 years ago when he was Sue
cessful Munich businessman. He worked
on them as hobby and German maga-
zines gobbled them up for the three
years he had time for them. Then, in
1896, he arrived in this country, started
in business and forgot his puzzles
until one night last January when he
was sitting around the Manhattan
Chess Club. That was the night he
made a Glidogam in English. And he
kept making them steadily for four
months. He says, 1T was like a dis
ease, l couldn't even read the news
papers. One puzzle takes me anywhere
from two days to two or three weeks"
As you can see, the principle is SIM
pie. You're given the same two letters

decision to move elsewhere
Representative Bloom OF New
York. ranking Democrat on the
committee, expressed fear yester-
day that the General Assembly
meeting in Paris In September
might listen to a possible proposal
to move the U. N capital to Europe
because the House failed to pass
the loan bill.
Mr.. Bloom criticized action OF
the House committee in tying the
loan in with other U. N. proposals
and said this blocked it. The Sem
ate passed a separate loan bill, but
the House didn't vote on either
measure.
Mr.. Eaton, however, defended the
committees action. He said it
wisely stood by its original decison
that the bill should be taken up as
a unified measure. We must make
our decisions about the United
Nations in a complete understand

|Lucius I. Russell, II, Dies;
| Founded Newark Ledger
BY the Associated Press

BEVERLY HILLS, Calf. June II
-Lucius T. Russell, founder of the
Newark IN. j. Ledger. died Sunday
of heart attack at the home Of a
son. Robert.
He suffered stroke three months
ago and had been an invalid since.
Mr.. Russell had published news
papers in Oklahoma before coming
to New Jersey in 1908 to purchase
the Elizabeth Times and later found
the Newark Ledger.
Born on a plantation at Buena
Vista, Miss, he established his first
daily In 1900 on the proposed town
site Of Lawton, Okla. He published
the Lawton Daily Democrat there
and later the Anadarko Evening
Democrat and the Ardmore Morning
Democrat.
Mr.. Russell gained fame rs q
crusading editor Of the old school,
and his editorials matched his robust
figure. He stood s feet 2 inches tall,
weighed over 200 pounds and COM
manded his editorial rooms In a
booming voice which fred as many
IS four managing editors from the
Ledger within a single week.
He retired from the Ledger in
May, 1885, when the paper was sold
to S. I. Newhouse as result Of a
stockholders suit.

had been made and then adjourn
until Thursday.
This convention he said, will
be nominating President, not en-
gagged in a fencing match"
He said he believed the draft
law just put through Congress was
an excellent compromise.
IF you are nominated, would you
want Congress reconvened this
summer to deal with other prob
lems," Gov. Dewey was asked.
That would be cruel and inhu-
man treatment" he shot back.
Senator Taft, who looked in good
shape despite the fact he had only
two hours sleep Friday night and
30 minutes sleep Saturday, because
of the long Senate session before
Congress adjourned, told his press
conference he did not think Con-
gress should be called back into
session after the conventions; that
the Republican platform should ap-
prove the record made by Congress;
that he expected he would have 'in
the neighborhood of 300 votes on the
first ballot; that he had no deal
with Stassen to stop Dewey, and
Il think I will win"
Gov. Warren said he was in the
race for nomination to stay; that
he would favor no deals in smoke
filled rooms; that he was not a
dark horse" candidate, but out in
the open.
At pep meetings. Senator Know
land of California made it plain
that the Californians will brook no
talk of deal until they find out
whether Gov. Warren can get a
run in his own right if a deadlock
develops
Some hardy souls still were pass

tnat he would accept a presidential
