pie. who just won't 60 along
with the 18th century critics
who demanded that Shake
speare had to be a superman as
we'll as a genius.
Anyway, in 1948. the two
schools of thought clashed. The
Oxfordian Fellowship Of New
York gleefully reported that the
Folger's portrait of Shakespeare
was actually the portrait Of
their hero. the Earl Of oxford.
A nice, elderly Shakespearean
broke up one Of their meetings
by telling them, not in so many
words. that they were all wet.
By way of evidence he produced
a letter from the Folger's Giles
Dawson, curator of books and
manuscripts, which said pretty
much the same thing in slightly
stronger language.
Mr.. Ogburn, a lawyer, prompt
ly hurled a libel suit against
Mr.. Dawson. He and his wife
dropped the suit after two years.
But not their theory. as some
1900 pages of closely written
type testify.

Reading and Writing-
Ambassador Crews Diaries
HeIped Make Turbulent Era
By Mary McGrory

Joseph c. Grew. our pre-
Pearl Harbor Ambassador to
Japan, was born in Boston,
where the impulse toward
diary keeping Is very strong. AS
so many proper young Boston,
ians do. he kept a record Of his
camping trips during boyhood.
The habit Of setting down each
days events followed faithfully
through 40 years of diplomatic
service. made the readying of
his newly published memoirs.
Turbulent Era" a relatively
easy matter. He had 1859 bound
volumes of diaries, letters and
clippings to turn over to his
editor, DR.. Walter johnson Of
the University of Chicago.
From the time he and the
foreign service were young in
the new century, until his re-
tirement in 1945. Mr.. Grew,
when his long diplomatic day
was done, would sit down at his
trusty Corona and speedily re-
cord still-fresh faces and i'm
pressions. He prides himself
on his prowess at touch-typing,
which he learned at q secre-
tarial school one summer in
Boston. He regards 1t also as
an invaluable and unappreciated
asset to the diplomat.
Moy Be His Lost
Now in retirement at his
beautiful woodland drive home,
MI. Grew still maintains a small
fleet of elderly Coronas, three
to be exact. He does not. how
ever, plan to write another book.
Turbulent Era" his fourth,
may well be his last. He is still
an omnivorous reader, sampling
virtually anything current, with
a preference for history and
biography and for relaxation.
mysteries. The authors he re-
turns to most frequently are o.
Henry and Kipling. Kipling.
incidentally, he credits in part
with the wanderlust that stirred
him strongly in his youth.
In the course Of one tour in
the Far East. he shot a tiger,
a feat which brought him to the
favorable notice Of President
Theodore Roosevelt. another
enthusiastic big-game hunter.
Mr.. Grew, then embarked rather
shakily in the foreign service via
a -salaried and highly OBJ
scure post in Egypt, had little
hope of advancement since for
eign service appointments were
at the time exclusively political.
A mutual friend mentioned his
tiger-shooting accomplishments
to the President, and thus was
launched a diplomatic career Of
great distinction.
Through subsequent service in
posts all over the world while
the diplomacy became ever more
intricate. Mr.. Grew discreetly
kept what he calls his thor
oughly indiscreet diary When
the time came to publish his
memoirs, he made available to
DR.. johnson his library of files.
DR.. Johnson was free to select
whatever he pleased except pas
sages critical of former members
of Mr.. Crews staff or former
chiefs. This interdict did not
hold good. however. when the
idiosyncrasies of the people in
volved had some bearing on the
political scene.
Mr.. Grew. who feels that his
tory is one of the most impor-
tant of the disciplines. feels that
it needs "the color, personalities
and background" which in
formal documents such as his
voluminous personal running ac-
counts can supply.
1T is only by knowledge and
understanding of history that we
can avoid future mistakes" he
says.

Tom Blows Hamburgers Take
Mems Group Here by Storm

The Mems Group of the Rock
vile Presbyterian Church met in
solemn conclave Monday night and
decided that Tom Blow makes the
best hamburgers in town.
The decision was reached after
a two-hour session at the dinner
table an activity which is indulged
in by the gentlemen once each
month. By this we do not mean the
gentlemen eat only once a month.
What we do mean is - they eat
together once a month.
We understand Mr.. Blow makes
also a very delicious mushroom
sauce which he spreads over the
hamburgers. Other cooks of the
night who turned out creamed po-
tstoes,. string beans and hot rolls
were AL Holbrook and Sam Wiley.
Guest speaker of the evening
was G. Lamar Kelly, former May
or of Rockville, who has not been
seen around town much since the
dinner.
We understand Whitley Miller,
who, at last writing, was promis-
ing to stay around and wash dishes
got out of the job again. He said
he had to attend another meeting.
To prove it, he brought with him
one Robert Bridges, who is not
a member of the group.
We understand, further, that
Mr.. Miller promised to wash the
table cloth in order to make up
for not washing dishes. From an
other source, we have learned also
that soiled table cloths have been
causing a bit Of trouble at the
Presbyterian Church.
