Commuter In Hurry?

Darien, Conn. Mrs. Mary
Goodyear got a strange phone
call. A man told her he had to
get to the train station in SIAM
ford, so he had borrowed her car.
Police went to the station and
found the auto, unchanged, just
as the man said. The caller was
nowhere to be found-so police
assumed he caught his train.

would have told anyone who ask
ed but no one asked"
Asked if he had encountered no
decencies from white people, he
said. ooh, yes! l wish someone
would dare to test the decency
OF the whites!! l did, and the re-
suits were overwhelmingly graft
flying. l met with much kindness
from whites as individuals. Many
seemed as though they were try
ing to make up for general con-
ditions. 1t seemed they were nicer
at night because they couldn't be
seen being nice"
'sThe Southern white is the real
tragedy of the South" he said.
''The situation is ennobling tn
Negro. Circumstances are such
that he must become almost a
saint or a hero or go under, For
the whites it means destruction
Of a hierarchy of values and
abandonment of principles in
service of self" Griffin blamed
institutions rather than people
for the problems of the South,
but he added, "The most obscene
person in the South is the legal
mind behind the white pressure
groups"
my plea with the Southern
Negro is that he not put the
Southern white on the defensive"
he said. when the Negro be-
HAYES with SO much more dignity
than the whites it outrages the
whites. They want to degrade him
even more. But it is the only
way" He said he had great hope
for the passive resistance move
ment. 81 met many of the lead
ers. They are sincere and dedi-
Gated. Their followers are devot-
ed to them
After he had completed his trip
and began publishing articles
about it, Griffin was hanged in
effigy on the main street of
Mansfield, cross was burned on
the hill above his home, and his
family received threatening
phone calls.
The South in general responded
differently. 81 have received one
abusive letter to 100 favorable
ones," he said. MY mail has been
about fifty-fifty white and Ne
gro. About so per cent from the
| South. Many of the favorable let
tiers were from Southern whites"
A record of sGriffin's expert
ences, BLACK LIKE ME, (the
title is from a poem by Langston
Hughes: might coming tenderly
Black like me') will soon be pub
llshed by Doubleday. He says
work of fiction is inevitable. The
experience was so traumatic."
Before beginning his trip, Grit
fin gave novena, nine-day
period of prayer, that he might
have the strength to endure the
muck" he expected from Negroes,
reasoning that the constant IN
dignities they are subjected to
would cause them to turn on each
other Instead he found "only the
most exquisite courtesies.
AS an example of these. courte-
sizes, Griffin mentioned Negro
youth who walked with him an
unexpected four miles when ask
ed the direction to a colored
movie; then offered to walk back
with him after the show. 81 like
to talk to you," he explained.
THAT was only one of many,
many instances" Griffin said.
Undoubtedly the courtesies
were part of a natural pattern.
They must also have been a re-
spouse to an extraordinary man.
John Howard Griffin was not
i ''The Negro" or "a" Negro. He
took the retinas of a man who
has been blind and the sensitivity
of a poet through one of the
harshest of human experiences.

Eisenhower Golf Fellows

Star stan Writer

President Eisenhower was
given a birthday and fare
well party at Burning Tree
Club last Saturday night and
presented with two lifetime
gifts: Cd Continued mem
berShip in the club and co
The Eisenhower Golf Fellow
ship.
The latter, which was
handsomely enscrolled in
leather binding. gives him
the lifetime privilege of Sc
lecting every one to three
years a young officer in the
armed services to become an
honorary member of the
club for that period. The
recipient of the plush privi-
lege must be below the tank
OF general officer and must,
OF course, be something of
a golfer.
There was an indication
that the membership would
like nothing better than to
have John Eisenhower be-
come their first Eisenhower
Golf Fellow.
The President was i'm
mensely pleased and the eve
ming was a bowling success,
but at no time more bowling
than when Bob Hope took
over. Ike rocked with laugh
ter when Hope, with that
funny nonplussed look of his,
said he was amazed so many
men had turned out for a
dinner in honor of a guy
about to lose his job.
'HE HAS HAD AN OFFER,

Of a king, fully clothed from

some Of the staider league
members to put their feet

to its public display on the
basis Of its sheer lustiness or
for fear that someone might
think the nudes represent

ing whom. is the question?
:. Seems that the ROGUE
fort cheese dressing for the
salad was served IN a small
pitcher and Messrs. Eisen-
hover and Hope both
thought it was cream and
poured it into their coffee!
Just like q comedy scene
in a movie, each one drank
the strange mixture without
making a face. In fact, both
insisted it tasted wonderful.
Bob will certainly get a
lot of mileage out of that
one.
Later when the President
and II or Is of his cronies
and members of the dill
ner committee were sitting
around and chewing the fat
in another room. Ike, the
cook, said most good recipes
got their start that way-i.e.,
by the wrong ingredient be-
ing tossed in by mistake. Bob
was all for patenting this
one and calling it something
like cafe Rocuuefort All
Lait." Frankly, I don't
think a patent will be
needed.
About an hour and q half
after dinner the President
rose to 60 and asked II he
could give anybody a lift.
Hope said he and his son,
who's a student at George
town University, came out
in a taxi and would 60 back
with the President If he
didn't charge them more
than the regular cab fare.
But instead Of taking him
back to his hotel. the Chief
Executive took the comedian
and his son to the White
House, where Mrs. Eisen-
hover gave them q person.
ally conducted tour that in
cluded their living quarters
on the second floor. The two
guests stayed for an hour,
but when Hope got back to
his hotel his situation was
closer to hopeless.
Like all wives who have
missed such rare treats. Mrs.
Hope was furious. Here he
was cumming around with
the Eisenhowers and never
thought to call his little wife
so she could join the happy
group. Bob told his friends
the next day that he was
still in the dog house with
no prospect Of getting out
soon."
Some Of the White House
STAFF are currently cooking up
plans to get the Nations

Belgium Tries
To End Strike

BRUSSELS, Belgium. Dec.
26 (AP). The government
tried tougher measures today
to smash the f1ve-day=old gen.
eral strike that has. caused
mounting chaos throughout tire
country.
Two Liege Socialist l1eWspa-
pers were seized, a Brussels
slaughter house was reQuiSi-
toned, and scores of agitators
were arrested. Unconfirmed re-
ports said troops have been
brought home from Germany
to reinforce armed patrols at
railway stations and other
main centers.
Justice Minister Albert Lilar
said steps will be taken against
''inSurrectionary" sabotage. A
ministerial committee met with
police chiefs to plan a new
campaign.
The Socialist Public Services
Union warned strikers will no
longer insure vital services II
troops man ide power stations.
The papers seized were LIE
Peuple and LIE Monde du Ira
vail. With La Wallonie-seized
yesterday-they had called for
more workers to strike and for
soldiers to disobey orders.
Helmeted soldiers guard the
main Brussel railway stations,
wearing camouflaged jackets
and armed with submachine
guns. Police and troops de-
ployed in the main centers have
prevented serious incidents.
The strike protests Belgium's
planned austerity program of
higher taxes and reduced well
fare spending. The program is
designed to offset losses OF
Congo revenue after that for
mer colony was given its inde-
pendence.
