man who had been at the top of
his profession for so many years.
ANY young girl would have been

AS for Gable, he is a gentle
man. I know he thought of
Oracle as a nice kid, an easy
person to work with. and that he
was flattered by her interest in
his acting.
Gable is an ardent hunter,
and he and Oracle went out for
game several times a week,
sometimes getting up almost at
daybreak. before anyone else in
camp was stirring. They were
usually accompanied by some
native boys. Oracle told me
later that one morning Gable
shot a crocodile, which so
frightened the superstitious ma
tives that they had trouble get

All told, they spent five
months in Africa. When the To-
cation shots were completed
they few to London to make
the interiors. I joined Grace
there for three weeks, and one
night she, Gable and I went out
to the theater and to dinner. It
was very interesting to hear the
various experiences they'd had
in Africa.
That evening. Oracle men
toned that she had been very
glad for the metal trunks I'd
bought her for the trip. THE

Oracle, I don't know how you

she said.

Gable, because / remember how

After I flew back to Philadel-

land for about 10 days. When

bye to Gable, Ford. and the rest
of the company, she could not
contain herself. She cried.
Crying Over Gable

believed strongly that that in

also because Of my conviction
that people in the theater find

that a separation from the actor

situation more realistically.

there was so little time that when
she finally took off, was certain
there were many things she'd

THAT TILL CASE AGAIN

JUST WHEN PEOPLE were about to forget the in
famous Till case land happily s) up comes Look magazine
with an article, The Shocking Story of An Approved Killing
In Mississippi, by William Bradford HUE. This article is
powerful, written with such force, and is eemingly so au-
thentic that there may be a new stir to do something definite.
TO REPEAT H CORY, frightful manner in which a
l-year old boy was murdered is not the object here. The
article in Look brings up so many classic points that thinking
people everywhere, even far and safely removed from Missis-
Sippi would most naturally react to it. So shocking is the main
point of the article that Representative Charles c. Diggs, II,
Democrat of Michigan, had it put into the Congressional Re-
cord to show that even though the defendants in the case
were acquitted, one Of the men was actually the killer.
THIS is NOT just the case Of a killing, bad as it is
that there be any killing whatever. This case was heard
around the world, and the Communist nations are making
capital Of it to the great and indefensibe embarrassment Of
the United States. Put another way how is it that the United
States is so deeply interested in lberatng people behind the
iron curtain when right at home and within its own borders
children are being murdered with impunity and nothing
whatever can be done.
LOOKS ARTICLE reminds one Of the story of the de-
PENDANT charged with stealing a pig, but who upon being
acquitted queried the Judge as to what to do with the pig.
Evidently, the writer of the article knows the terrain, the
people, the most intimate details Of the whole situation.
Where did he get Hp Could it be that the writer went right
to the very defendants themselves for itP

mocracies should be most concerned

rants. Roughly 500 Northern
Virginia residents have found
themselves before the bars OF
justice. however. during the
past two years.
Northern Virginia is particu-
larly lucrative for the tax col
lectors. For one thing, salaries
are generally higher in this
area. Then there are many
newcomers In the suburbs near
Washington. It takes them q
while to get accustomed to
the idea Of filing State tax
returns.
But the newer residents have
no corner on tax delinquency.
The drive has trapped all kinds
- high-salaried Government
workers and perspiring la
borers.
Even. an assistant trial JUS
tice in Fairfax County felt the
tap Of the tax collector on his
shoulder. The justice had filed
his return, but didn't pay UP on
time. The State has a special
collector just for people who
file-but don't pay.
A majority Of the people
hauled into court get fined. and
don't have TO 60 to jail like the
few cases mentioned previously.
More lenienl judges even sus-
pend the flnes-if the taxpay-
ers agree to settle their debts.
Still, the growing number Of
cases shows the State no longer
is a haven for people like

ment when they tried him for
income tax evasion:
