were poor immigrants /.
Prouste! Here Tucker twinkled)
:. That's my background = it
had nothing to do with show
business :.
I wanted to suggest to Miss
Tucker that all of these things
might have something to do with
her personality-which to a large
extent is her whole act-but I
buckled under for another ques-
ton:
'Miss Tucker, have you ever
felt any discrimination in show
business?"
"None, absolutely none. Show
people are not like that. They are
real people. I have never felt any,
thing like that -"
Another track-"HaS there ever
been a time when your agents
have had to be careful about
booking you with particular audi
ences because there might be
anti-semitic tendencies around?"
I realized after I asked it that
I should have ducked that one.
The Mama'S hand came enthati-
cally down on the table before
her -. 'Now that is the type Of
question I reSent-absolutely re-
sent. You are planting seeds of
discord by even suggesting that
sort of thing -. I resent that
kind of question >.
No! Nothing like that ever hap
pened to me F. Never! Mol"
I humbly explained to Miss
Tucker that my question was en-
tirely legitimate :. That in other
fields of entertainment that sort
of thin G had cropped up = in
sports (tennis, golf, etc., partici-
pants had found themselves push
ed around In opera there had
been antiagonism now overcome,
but at one time present -.
'It never happened to me-" Miss
Tucker told me again, so I drop
ped the subject, and meaning to
be quite complimentary I said:
miss Tucker, after fifty. years
in show business, how do you
manage to keep going?" (This was
not my day for the proper phras-
ing of questions I could see
that J.
what do you mean: keep 60
ing? :. How do you keep going?'
-. That's how / keep going :"
u considered this answer for a
moment, and acknowledging the
fact tn It 1 had not yet been
around altogether for fifty years,
and that Miss Tucker had been a
star for almost that long, and
that she keeps going faster and
better than !, I decided that she
had a legitimate answer :.
But it was quite evident that
the lady does not like to be re-
minded of her age :. and that's
no act =.
I reflected that the few min
utes allotted to me were up !.
I asked if Miss Tucker wanted to
leave any parting word with me
about her thoughts on the Jews.

questions did not quite go with

'The story of your life is now

said. "Will it mention the fact
that you are Jewish? Will it
give any detail of your early Jew
ish family life?"
Miss Tucker looked at me hard
for a few moments (Blue eyes can
get very cold) 'No!" she said de-
cisively, 'No!" :. Then: ''It all
depends on the producer. If he
wants to mention it he'll mention

as deeply as possible.
On May 20, 1858, as Kato was

he dug down five feet and found
three dirty porcelain bowls in a
stone box.
Mr.. Schriebs reported the find
and experts said the box was
ancient.
overnmen curio experts
identified the porcelains as the
genuine Celadon masterpieces
recorded in history books as
donated to Japan's military re-
gent Minamoto 800 years ago by
the court of China's Sung

The government today paid
100000 yen ($2,500O to Mr..

are worth around 9 million yen
