He is not only about the size OF

Joe, co-author with Abel Green

as close to knowing everything and
every one in entertainment as is
humanity possible. Mention any

say the late John Barrymore.
What man." says Joe. II was
with him one night at the College
Inn in Chicago. He was half
loaded. No, loaded. No, let's face
It, he was overloaded.
Some one asked him to say a
few words. Jack got up, opened a
Bible he had with him and read
the Ten Commandments. It was
a dramatic performance, I don't
need to tell you. The room was
stunned, as it should have been.
But Barrymore wasn't. He finished
with a perfect Barrymore line:

Joe loves show business with
that passion which is found only
in members of the staff of Weekly
Variety, known in the trade as "the
Bible of show biz"
He and Abel Green, who is editor
Of Variety. are less happy about
the profits of mo Biz Like Show
Biz" than because so many book
buyers obviously want to share
their affection. Joe is hard man
to awe, but that is what creeps into
his voice when he says: "You know
the book has sold more than rs, 900
copies? Never anything like it.
Imagine, a best seller"
Joe's sincere in this liking the
books popularity more than his
authors profits, or royalties. A
lack Of money never hurt any one,
he feels. unless it was complete
lack.
Sometimes he worries more
about the effects Of an excess of
money than a shortage of it.

think he can write best in a

Nevertheless, big money slows
down too many" :
Sometimes, he feels mighty
bleak about the future of writing.
Worrying about this, indeed. seems
to be an editorial policy Of Variety.
It keeps tab on everything and one
of the most depressing tabs Is
that dealing with the consump-

British Planes XIII
One MIG, Damage 7
Over North Korea
BY the Associofed Press

SEOUL. Sunday, Aug. 10.-Brit-
ish carrier-based warplanes yes
terday destroyed one Russian
built MIG-15 jet and damaged
three others in three dogfights
near North Korea's west coast.
the Navy announced today.
It was the first kill of the war
scored by the British fighter
bomberS.
Two sea furies from HMS Ocean
were hit but the Navy said damage
was minor and neither pilot was
hurt.
Il raised the Allied toll for yes
terday to two, and the total for
SIX blistering days of air combat
to 20 MICS destroyed and % dam
aged.
The swift MICS attacked the
slower British planes while the
latter were pounding Red targets
at Chinnampo, port city for the
North Korean capital Of Pyong-
yang. on the west coast.
1t was in this same general area
that MICS shot up three British
planes in a recent encounter. All
three pilots were saved and one
of the planes made it back to
the carrier.
Even as the latest score was
posted, the 5th Air Force an
nounced it had not lost a single
plane in aerial combat last week.
It was perhaps the best balance
sheet thus fat since the Russian
built jets began challenging Allied
air power.
However, the Allies otherwise
lost eight planes last week. -Four
were shot down by Communist
anti-aircraft fire and four were
missing from unknown causes"
The six days of daily dogfghts
were the longest string of the
year and the longest since an IL
day period last year, November
Is through December 6.
The SabreS were continuing
their job of shielding Allied fight
er-bombers striking at Commu-
mist supply arteries and troop
concentrations. The 5th Air Force
said yesterdays blows were CEN
tered on the Haeju Peninsula in
Western Korea with % buildings
blasted.
