NEW YORK. - To the Hon.
TrygVe Lie, secretary general, the
United Nations.
Dear MI. Lie:
The other day a friend took me
into a fashionable mems bar in
Manhattan. 1t is as exclusive as
81 drink can make it.
AS we stood gulping our ket-
chup, two middle-aged men
dressed with conservative elegance
entered and took a place at the
bar beside us.
Know who they are?" whis-
pered my friend.
Probably a couple of stock
brokers'
"Stockbrokers nothing!" my
friend whispered, even lower.
They're about the two biggest
gangsters in America. They
really run the underworld, and
they hang out here every after
noon"
Well, Mr.. Lie, the two men
ordered fine old brandy. And as
they slipped it I couldn't help
overhearing their conversation. 1
thought it might interest you.
But on account of I am cautious
man, I am going to call them Mr..
Manicure and Mr.. Mustache-in-
stead Of their real names.
Worried About World.
I'm worried about the way the
world is going today" began Mr.
Manicure.
Yes, indeed, I know what you
mean" said Mr.. Mustache. NO
thing but violence, violence, vio-
lence-everywhere. It's shocking"
Why don't they get organized
upstairs like we did downstairs?"
continued Mr.. Mustache. "It would
be a happier world. There would
be no gunplay. Everybody could
sit down, talk over how to cut up
the pie. take his own piece, and
go home to his wife and kids"
II know what you mean" unused
Mr.. Mustach. Its cheaper for
everybody to make living by CO.
operating. That way everybody
could have car and a summer
home and eat and drink in the
best places. Live and let live.
say"
Mr.. Manicure nodded morosely
and cuddled his brandy glass in
his soft white hand.
I'VE learned from the old Chi
cago days there's no profit in
rough stuff" he said. ut taught
us reality. Harsh actions are
really uncommercial in the long
run. But. internationally. people
still seem to prefer to live in the
jungle. Don't they know they'll
never have peace until they or
ganize and cut all the cheap
competition?"
Just then small mousy drunk
he looked like a bookkeeper on
a spree-wandered in. He pushed
woozily in between the two men
and mumbled, move over, Buns. -
Well believe me, Mr.. Lie,
really held my breath. Nobody
showed gangsters around like that
in the 1920's.
Gently Carried Out.
But Mr.. Manicure merely moved
away distastefully. And MI. Mus
tache just lifted a finger and
pointed. The bartender saw the
finger, and made a signal. Then
two big house detectives moved
in. lifted up the little drunk
gently. and carried him out.
They should catch such Doors
at the door," murmured MI
Manicure.
Yes. this place is getting run.
