FAMOUS FABLES
BY E. E. EDGAR

URGENT: In his younger
days. Bernard Baruch liked
nothing better than to spend
an evening playing poker.
Like most poker players, he
hated to leave the table q
loser.
One night, In his Florida
hotel room, he got into a
game with two friends. Ba-
ruch was just beginning a
vacation after comforting at
the White House with Pres
ident Coolidge.
After a couple of hours Of
play, Baruch was in the hole
for $4,000. At this moment,
there was a knock at the
door and a bellhop appeared.
"Mr. Baruch, will you come
to the managers office,
please" he said. There's a
telephone call for you from
President Coolidge"
Baruch looked at his two
friends. each of whom had
left the room a couple Of
times. Suspecting a ruse to
break up the game while he
was behind, he said:
Tell the President I can't
be bothered"
A few moments later, the
bellhop reappeared.
THE Secretary of the
Treasury is on the phone"
he said.
mot interested" snapped
Baruch.
The game continued until
early in the morning, by
which time Baruch had re-
couped his losses. He was
about to retire when the ho-
tel manager appeared at his
door.
"Mr. Baruch," he pleaded,
will you please call Wash
ington. Everybody from the
President down has been try
ing to reach you"

overland Journey Value Hiqh
By VAN ALLEN BRADLEY

1t was the late Charles P.
Everitt. I believe. who re-
marked that it was generally
the little thin" books which
brought him the most profit
in the rare book business.
One Of the really rare items
among the thin little over
land narratives Of the last
century is Hozial H. Bakers
account of the journey he
made, when 70, from New
York State to Utah.
The title page reads, in
part:
OVERLAND JOURNEY to
Carson Valley, Utah;
through Kansas, Nebraska
and Utah; also, return
trip, from San Francisco
to Seneca Falls. via. the
Isthmus. BY Hozial H.
Baker. Seneca Falls, N. Y;
-. 1861.
Mr.. Baker began his diary
east Of Chicago on March 90,
1859, and reached the settle
ment Of Chinatown, near
Genoa. New, on July 20.
No copy of this extremely
rare 28-page paperbound has
appeared for sale in recent
years. A fine copy would be
worth a minimum of $1,000,
and probably much more, on
the current market.

DEAR ABBY: One of my

"Stories" about me which she
said she had heard from
friends, relatives and neigh
pors. One was that I was
getting a divorce. Another
was that my husband was
running around with a girl
who works with him. Also
that I am a woman with a
terrible past, and I don't
know what else. How does
q person go about proving
to people that stories like
these are not true? I am sick
inside.

Your "beSt friend" is a
Queen-sized trouble maker.
People who peddle "StOries"

Timely Push

President Kennedy'S efforts to
breathe new life into the faltering
National Cultural Center project are
most timely In letters to the leaders
of the House and Senate, he already
has urged the enactment of a bill to
expand slightly the boundaries of the
site in Foggy Bottom, an expansion
which trustees of the center say should
be accomplished before national fund
raising drive is begun. If this is needed
to set the campaign in motion, then
certainly the law should be quickly
passed.
Unfortunately, however, there also
is more to be done. AS a result of the
change in administration, the Board Of
Trustees must find both a new chair
man and someone to head the fund
campaign. These chairmen may or may
not be selected from the new appointees
which Mr.. Kennedy must make to the
board. In any event, the assistance of
the President would be great help in
finding leaders of the caliber necessary
to assure the success of the project,
project which Mr.. Kennedy already has
said should have enormous Importance
to the cultural life Of the Nation as
whole"

Cure for Postal Deficit

Postmaster General Day is justi-
f1ably concerned over the mounting
postal deficit He Is convinced-aS were
his predecessors the only cure for
this chronic ailment is the distaSteful
one Of raising postal rates. And he
will probably encounter as much
difficulty at the Capitol in getting the
necessary rate legislation as did the
Eisenhower administration. Yet, re-
luctant or not, Congress will have to
face up to the fact that the deficit, due
to reach 5000 million this year, cannot
be allowed to rise interminably.
The previous administration tried
seven times to raise postal rates but
succeeded only twice. Yet Congress
has shown no reluctance to raise the
pay Of postal workers, who are well
represented by powerful unions. Each
raise increases the deficit, Of course.
But the reluctance of Congress to pro-
vide added revenues to meet the pay
increases has been remarkable.
Mr.. Day has announced that he will
seek to have flrst-class mail postage
boosted from 4 to 5 cents and the air
mail rate from to cents, with un-
determined increases in second and
third class rates. That is the only
realistic way of reducing the annual
deficits that have plagued the depart
ment. While some postal services may
be properly chargeable to the Treasury,
the general aim should be to make the
users Of these services pay substan-
tial part of the cost. They are
obviously not bearing fair share Of
the burden now. -

'Briqht With Hope'

President Kennedy has not exag-
gerated in declaring to Congress that
the International Communist con-
Spiracy constitutes grave and
imminent danger" throughout Latin
America. He has given voice to the
warning-an altogether timely one-in
connection with his appeal for legislative
action to appropriate the $500 million
already authorized by the Senate and
House in support of great new CO.
operative enterprise to speed up hemis-
pheric social and economic progress.
Wholly apart from his message to
Congress, Mr.. Kennedy has spoken out
eloquently on this subject in his address
aWhiS White House reception honoring
the ambassadors of our sister republics
to the south. In the address he has
outlined 10-year, 10-point program
not unlike the celebrated and enor-
mously successful Marshall Plan for
European recovery-deSigned to pro-
mote the advancement of all the Ameri-
cas-, politically, socially, economically
and otherwise, to enable them to cope
effectively with the great challenges Of
"a future full Of peril, but bright with
hope"
The President, in what he has said
to the ambassadors, has not sugared
the pill or sought to suggest that our
hemisphere should flnd 1t relatively
easy to do away with the things that
menace it from every side. On the
contrary, he has been at pains to
emphasize to all our good neighbors In
the So-called New World that the main
tenance Of their future well-being and
independence, together with the better
ment Of their way of life, depends
primarily on them, and on nobody else.
Thus, in Mr.. Kennedy's words:
Let me stress that only the determined
efforts Of the American nations themselves
can bring success to this effort. They, and
they alone, can mobilize their resources
enlist the energies Of their people-and modify
their social patterns so that all, and not
just a privileged few, share in the fruits OF
growth. If this effort is made, then outside
assistance will give a vital impetus to pro-
gress-wthouV it. no amount Of help will
advance the welfare Of the people.
Thus If the countries of Latin America
are ready to do their part-aS am sure they
are-then believe that the United States,
for Its part, should help provide resources
Of q scope and magnitude sufficient to make
this bold development program q success
just as we helped provide resources adequate
to help rebuild the economies Of Western
Europe. For only an effort Of towering
dimension can ensure fulfillment Of our plan
for decade Of progress.
In other words, II each nation Of
Latin America participates earnestly in
the program Mr.. Kennedy has proposed,
there will be solid ground for optimism
about the hemisphere's future. But the
eff" here is very big. Actually, the whole
situation can be summed up quite
simply: Things will go well, or they will
go very poorly, depending on what the
Americas themselves do to promote their
material advancement and keep COM
munism from taking over our world
on this side of the Atlantic.

tional law regarding the va

A. No. In general, q mar
riage that complies fully
with the laws Of the country

be valid elsewhere. However,
the marriage laws Of coun-

Divide and Conquer

It appears that the British

copied somewhat by the So

able to outdo the British Of
yore both In extent and pace.
Today we see q divided Eu-
rope, q divided Asia. . di-
