Little Old New York
NEW YORK.

NEW YORK.
In most Of the, hotels Of
this country, as you seat your
self in the dining room, some
local sage will say proudly:
1.-THE Skouras brothers worked
here as dishwashers." II the
brothers Skouras had washed
dishes in all Of the hotels
that claim them, they'd have
been so busy drying them
they'd never had time to be-
come multimillionaire legends
Of show business and conspicu-
GUS examples of the rewards
America showers on excep-
tional e emigrants to these
shores.
Back in 1909, the late
Charles Skouras worked in a
New York luncheonette for so
cents a day. Then he went to
st. Louis and was an assistant
bartender at the Hotel Jeffer-
son. BY 1910. he'd painfully
saved enough money to bring
brother Spyros over from
Greece. In 1911, the combined
savings of Charles and Spyros
brought George to the United
States.
Eight years later, the three
brothers had control Of a st.
Louis theater chain. Wiped
out IN the crash of 1929, they
recouped their losses during
the depression, taking over the
theater and exhibition hold
ings Of William Fox. So OBJ
viously they didn't waste much
time in dish-washing.
Triumvirote Broken
Not since the three Shuberts.
Sam, Lee and Jake, came out
of Syracuse, N. Y, to beat
down all opposition, have three
brothers Of the Skouras type
arrived on the national show
business scene. Death early
removed Sam S. Shubert,
which badly weakened the
Shuberts, but death didn't
strike down one Of the Skou-
rases until a month ago when
Charles died. at the age OF 65.
You just never associated
illness or death with the
Skourases. Each was power
fully built. thick-chested, ro-
bust, bursting with energy.
And though they came from
a farm background in Skou-
rohorian, Greece. they
matched wits with and bested
the wiliest financiers in this
country. Thanks to the first
platoon system in big busi-
ness.
In the all-night session.
Charlie would lead of for the
Skourases. At midnight, with
the business discussions still
raging, Charlie would go into
an outer Office. awake and
brief Spyros on what had
transpired and send him In to
continue the discussions whila
Charlie took a nap. Spyros, in
turn would be spelled by
George.
Picking Up Marbles
"How can you beat them?"
groaned one big theater ty-
coon. "You can't tire them
out and you can't even ur-
derstand what they're saying
until they pick up the
marbles
They played golf with the
same fierce concentration.
Charlie and Spyros preferred
to play each other, $40 a
hole-and the loser had to
pay, in cash, after each hole.
On one occasion, at West
chester Country Club, Charlie
was wiped out at the 18th
hole. He had no more cash
on him.
1.-THE next hole, Spyros," he
suggested, I'VE play for $40"
Spyros eyed him carefully
"You have $40 more with you?"
Charlie said no. "Then we can't
play" said Spyros.
But surely you will lend

LEGION 60 Il Alone
On Reds Is Hit by AVG

In a telegram to President
Eisenhower, the American Vet
Grams Committee was on record
today as opposing the American
Legion conventions stand that
America should "go it alone" if
necessary to halt further Com
munist aggression.
The telegram told Gen. Eisen-
hover, a member of AVG, that
the organization supported the
principle of united freedom
enunciated in his speech last
Monday.
Mickey Levine, ave national
vice chairman, said the Legion's
position would place the United
States in the same position as
the Soviet Union with its arbi-
'rary and unilateral actions"
While the Legion urged single
handed action if necessary, it
also came out for stronger "col-
lective security" through the
United Nations in the final con-
vention sessions yesterday.

Education policy. Pro- gram shall be educational and shall be developed thru confer ence, committee and projects. Since the administration of the school is recognized as the func- tion of the school authorities the organization shall not seek to direct the administrative activi- ties of the school
 The Parent-Teacher Associa- ton is a democratic volunteer organization. It believes in dem ocratic practices and principles. It realizes that only thru CO., operation of parents, teachers and other interested adults can the best in education be ob- tained.
 It fosters study as basis for action; for study must precede action. This it has done by sur veys, forums and similar meth ods. Thru these studies the P-TA has shown the value and need of many new projects to the public. It makes use of news paper, radio and television where available to promote in- terest and understanding in worthwhile programs.
 Parent-Teacher workers for example, took the lead in show ing the public the need for such services as probation officers, school buses and hot school lunches. As member of P-TA you can take an active part now in doing something practical and effective about juvenile de- linquency, not only in it's treat ment, but most important in its prevention. You can work with civic groups for well planned school construction progra m that will supply needed facili- ties and equipment. You can sup port school budget that will meet the goals that you helped set for public education and edu- cation services.
 P-TA emphasizes the impor- tance of educating children for good citizenship in the home and community as well as in the school and the public school is an indispensable training ground for good citizenship.
