. Grady was recently made an hon.
orary citizen Of Athens. the first
woman to be so honored In Athen-
ian history. The indefatigable
Mrs. Grady has done a remarkable
job in organizing welfare work fol-
hundreds of refugees and child
victims Of the Communist guerrilla
movement. Even so she was prob
ably q little overcome by the fol-
lowing eulogy.
An article emanating from far
off Patras reads: Really. the dy-
namism of this selected woman is
so great and her enthusiasm SC
pure that If she were speaking
Greek anybody might think, with
out exaggeration. that the soul OF
some one Of the Greek heroines
had taken the body Of a modern
woman to transmit that sacred
good that was nestled in those
heroines to all Of us men and
women"

ton is her own attitude toward
manners. They must. she believes
be based on consideration Of. and
kindness toward others and not
just a meaningless list Of social
amenities to be learned parrot
fashion.
It is not surprising. therefore,
that her writings on motor
manners merited the attention OF
the motor industry. On q recent

John ". Corey, 29, Brooklyn, New York, proprietor of two tav- erns, involved last January in a Waterbury extortion plot, was in- dicted in Hartford Tuesday by q Federal jury on charges of possess ing 96 counterfeit ten-dollar Fed eral Reserve notes.
 Corey was arrested in Waterbury last January as the 'fall guy" in plan by four men, one of them a policeman, "to shake him down" The plan bachired and resulted in the arrest of the five men.
 According to Waterbury police, William (Peaches) Evans, the po- iceman, was to "arrest" Corey, who was expected to be found with counterfeit money on his person. He was then to be released on pay ment of $2500 in legitimate bills. The plot exploded when Corey sub mitted to arrest rather than make the payment.
