SOMEHOW OR OTHER he
was reminded, when he got
to his typewriter, of an auto
mobile ride he once had with
Harry Truman from indie
pendence, Mo-, to Kansas City
(6 miles,. No accident. Mr..
Truman spent the half hour
traffic can be heavy even
that far west) telling stories
Of story teIlers he had known
in the Senate. Said he was
going to publish them some
day.
Well the Rambler has been
around long enough to have
heard some stories, and he
might as well publish. 1t was
no day for rambling.
When a story is told by a
good story teller, 1t results
in a puzzling equation. The
age of the story and the
laughter of the audience
seem to vary directly. That
is, the older the better.
The other day the Rev..
Richard Irwin, who is organ
izing a Methodist parish in
Montgomery County, spoke
at a luncheon Of the Armed
Forces Communications and
Electronics Association at the
willard.
He did not give the invo-
cation or the benediction.
They have military chaplains
for that. He was there to
tighten the program and he
did it very well.
He is from Texas and looks
like an abridged edition of
Senator Humphrey of Min
nesota. Here is the story that
got the biggest response.
Said he was on the Temper
ance Board in Texas. Had
gotten away from it in Mont
gomery County, Md, not
through indulgence, but by
association. Still remembered
his temperance lessons.
There was the time the
teacher put an earthworm
in a glass of water. Worm
wiggled around vigorously.
Put same worm in a glass of
alcohol. Worm Strengthened
out in rigor morris. Did that
suggest anything, teacher
asked, diversified boy in front
row raised hand.
Drink alcohol" he said,
land you won't have worms"
THERE is ANOTHER TYPE
of story teller who seems to
get his stories from life and
not from literature. Such a
one is Brazilla Carroll Reece,
member of the House from
East Tennessee and former
chairman of the Republican
National Committee. His
mountaineer stories are
memorable.
One is about the elderly
man from the hills who came
down to Chattanooga to
spend a week end with his
daughter and Son-in-law.
When he bought his ticket
back Sunday night be was at
the head of a long queue in
the railroad station.

Mr.. Stark asked the United

HAVANA. Cuba. - Fdel
Castro's six-Ihonth-old gov
eminent, still in a disorgan-
lied state in many depart
ments, was shaken by the
Dias LAM case. But there
was no obvious lessening Of
the mass support, as EVIL
denced by the tremendous
crowds which greeted Castro
at Camaguey and by the
response to the official state
ment on the case.
Like everything else here,
the answer is neither simple
nor fully known.
Dias LAM was head Of the
air force. Some weeks ago
he was in a forced landing
which deposited him in a vast
swamp. Subsequently, on a
search mission for Mai. Dias
LAM, Raul Castro crashed in
the same marsh. They were
rescued after two days by
helicopter. Dias repeatedly
came down with malaria and
was absent from his COM
mand for about a month.
Last week he suddenly, and
secretly, called news men and
informed them he was going
to resume command. He in
dicated he might not succeed
and said If he did not. it
would be because he was OPP
posed to Communist infiltra-
ton in the air force.
His sudden appearance
caught the government COM
pletely by surprise. 1t
promptly notified him that
he was not in command. He
was to have been kept as
second in charge, but resigned
by letter to the press with the
statement previously given
reporters.

winner, from membership be-

Abe Stark, president of the

Gov. Long spent an active
day yesterday on his 300-acre

round up and feed cattle and
supervised the selection Of a
half-dozen big watermelons for
his visitors.
Long has improved so much
that he looks like q different

looked when he arrived at Cow
ington," said State Representa-
tive Jesse McClain of st. Tam

last few weeks.
The Governor set up a
temporary capital at Covington
after he obtained his release

he was flown to the John
Sealy Hospital in Galveston,

Gov. Long left June 10 and a
few hours later was committed

The Government says IL will

in District Court.
They were charged with plot
ting to rig the award OF a MI

Mr.. Mack was q member Of

q Miami lawyer.
But whether the Government
can bring them to trial again
depends on a pending decision

a directed acquittal. Judge
Matthews, in an unusual step,
reserved her decision and sent
the case to the Jury.

the acquittal motion would
have become unnecessary. If

But the Jury split, II to 1,
In favor Of convicting the two
men. After celebrating more
than 80 hours, spread over a

motion. If she turns it down

BY his criticism of Senator

leaders, Senator Sparkman said
Mr.. Butler has demonstrated
extreme Partially when he
should be impartial"
If he will not do otherwise,
Senator Sparkman said, "he
should resign forthwith and
not wait for his forced replace

Senators Jackson Of Wash

The meeting Of foreign min

an alternative so the whole

in dealing with the Caribbean
problems is how the American

in the hemisphere without in

A conference OF American
foreign ministers on critical
conditions In the Caribbean
area appeared virtually assured
today. although a formal deci-
sion will not be. made until
Monday.
The conference was proposed
yesterday at a meeting of
the Organization Of American
States by the United States,
Brazil, Chile and Peru. After
some discussion. the GAS
council decided to wait until
Monday before voting on it, but
diplomats here believe the vote
will be affirmative.
The time and place Of the
conference will be decided If
and when it is agreed that one
should be held. Washington
and Santiago, Chile have both
been mentioned as possible
sites.
No Specific Charges
The meeting would be con-
cerned with the broad problem
Of unrest in the Caribbean
countries. but would not deal
with specific charges made by
one country against another.
United States Ambassador
John c. Oreier made this clear
to the GAS council at its Fri
day meeting.
The council had been called
to consider a request by the
Dominican Republic for invo-
cation Of the Rio Treaty, which
requires GAS member countries
to assist each other in case of
aggression from the outside or
when the peace Of the western
h e m phere is endangered.
Cuba and Venezuela, both of
whom were accused Of agrees

lie, objected to applying the

lean Republic.
