TENNIS TALK
BY STEVE GUBACK
Star Staff Writer

A couple of days before the
Davis Cup matches we're to be-
gin last week in riot-troubled
Teheran. Donald Dell. the Be-
thesda lad, was out past the
Iranian curfew with q stew
ardess from Pan American.
This was all very legitimate
Dell had been invited to an
official party for the team.
Although this was a fine ex-
cuse, Dell wasn't sure that some
of the oldiers toting machine
guns in downtown Teheran
knew this, and this was i'm
portant indeed for his future
health and well being.
Only the day before, an
Iranian was shot down for fall
ing to Halt" quick enough.
When the call HALT" split

! Dell had two other rather
anxious moments. In his singles
match, Dell had atrocious re-
suits with his serve, double
faulting an average Of twice a
game. He trailed o. In the Sec
ond set and "a In the third,
before finally pulling out a
straight-set victory.
There could have been an
other explanation for his diff
ficulties in the third. By prior
agreement, play was to- be
suspended at 7:15 each night.
There was no difficulty the
first two days. On the third,
the Iranians asked permission
to stage some junior exhibit
tons between the two Davis
Cup singles matches so their
youngsters might get a chance
to play before @ large crowd.
This delayed the final singles
match, which was Dell's en-
counter. to near-darkness. If
the matches weren't finished,
the American group would have
to stay another day, thus jumb-
ling transportation plans and
arrangements. Dell tried to
hurry, which is no way to play
tennis.

in an unusual manner. Every
ticket-holder had to sign his
ticket before entering the
matches.
This was a safeguard for the
Shah, a tennis enthusiast who

was the Shah, incidentally. who
years ago helped arrange for
a football player named Jim

sity of Virginia.
AS a fitting gesture, Smith
presented the Shah q gold

Things Were
Still In HorIem

New York (ANP) - Most peo-
pie associate stills with mountain
folk but New York police last
week said that city jewellers also
crave the powerful "moonshine"
with its vile smell.
1t was the pungent odor which
attracted neighbors of a six-story
tenement house in upper Harlem
at West 142nd street. It also at
tracted Patrolmen Edward Nc
Donagh and Thomas Slattery, but
the odor was too much for their
sensitive noses.
In the basement the officers
found a 100-gallon still, twenty
55-gallon drums Of mash, 500 bags
Of sugar, and a large array Of g.
gallon jugs Of 9o-proof brain bus
ter"
The two patrolmen summoned
the Federal Alcohol Tax Unit
which readily destroyed the still
and poured out the mash.
The buildings superintendent,
Frank Bell, 35, and Troy Davis,
81, were escorted to the station.
Both men denied vehemently at
the station that they knew the
identity and local Of the owner Of
the still.
The case was still pending.

Indiana Governor Orders
More State Jobs
Opened To Neqroe.

Indianapolis (ANP) - Gov.
Matthew w. Welsh last week ord
cred the heads of all state agencies
to open the doors to employment
opportunities to young Negroes.
Welsh stated to this reporter that
during his White House luncheon
with President Kennedy the prob
lem of Negro employment was one
of many discussed.
William Book, Vice-president Of
the Indianapolis Chamber of Com
merce said that he had scheduled
a series of meetings with city bus
mess leaders to see what can be
done about hiring more young Ne
groes.
Harold Hatcher, director of the
state civil rights commission, said
a "nondiscriminatory policy is not
enough. We must have positive
action to demonstrate there are
more openings. He called for
planned and deliberate recruiting
of young Negroes"

VACATION THOUGHTS

Vacation post card senders are
wondering again, Shall mail
cards back to my close friends
or not? You may have heard some
friends say, why do they send
these cards back to US Dragging
about where they have been and
what they have SEEM" We are so
happy to say the vast majority Of
friends are very happy to receive
cards from vacationing friends.
They really appreciate the fact
that their friends took time out to
buy, write a note and mail the
cards back home, but most Of all
they are happy to be remembered.
When you are in a city or town
far from home and you chance to
see a familiar face how happy
you are to greet them! Perhaps
when you were home you did not
see this person often but now how
happy both Of you are to meet and
you are so happy to be able to tell
this hometown friend that their
relatives are well.
You can remember one day
when you parked your car in front
Of a hotel when you went across
the street to mail some cards. AS
you turned to go back to your
car you saw a young woman
(draped) across your car crying
like her heart was broken. When
she saw you she asked II you were
from the Twin Cities and you said,
yes. In almost a whisper she
asked II you knew her parents and
you said, yes, we are personal
friends. She asked a great many
questions about them and with
tears streaming down her cheeks
she asked you not to tell them you
saw her as she was.
We did not know what she meant
then but found out later that she
had run away from home when
quite young because she was not
allowed to go as she pleased. She
told US how she regretted that
and asked If we thought her par
ents would be happy to see her Il
she went home. Knowing her par
ents real well, we said we could
not say yes but we felt sure Il
she called them they would be
happy to have her home.
She called her parents. They sent
her fare to her and that was q
very happy reunion for the whole
family. She continued to stay al
home and she made her parents

PIaYboy Publisher
Defended BY Chicago
NEGRO Attorney

Chicago CAMP - One of the
nations top criminal lawyers last
week was rushed to the defense of
the nations top "playboy," after
the latter was arrested and then
released in $500 bond on a charge
of publishing and circulating an
obscene magazine which carried
nude or nearly nude pictures Of
movie actress Jayne Mansfield.
The revealing pictures of Miss
Mansfield are contained in the
June issue of the magazine.
Facing the charge at a hearing
set for June 25 is Hugh Hefner,
37-year-old bachelor-publisher of
Playboy Magazine. Hefner also has
initiated a number of playboy
clubs in various cities, one of the
largest located here.
One of the two attorneys repre-
senting him is Harvard-educated
George N. Leighton, one of the
most successful criminal and civil
rights lawyers in the nation. The
other Hefner counsel is Maurice
Rosenfield.
The arrest Of Hefner, who was
taken into custody on a warrant
obtained from Municipal Court
Judge Norman N. Eiger by the
City corporation counsePs office,
was made under circumstances as
ISOLATED with his "playboy repu-
tation."
When police Of the obscenity and
vice control units went to Hefner's
plush home to serve the warrant,
a man named Ralph Brown and
described as his house boy, told
them the youthful, popular pub
Usher was not at home.
However, just then a foxy"
blonde came struttlng down the
stairs from Hefner's abode. Not
knowing that they were detectives,
she asked the officers if they were
looking for the publisher. When
they said they were, she pointed to
Hefner's office and said: Hes up
stairs"
The detectives hurried upstairs
to the office but were kept wait
ing outside for nearly an hour be-
fore the two attorneys, Leighton
and Rosenfield, arrived and sur
rendered him.
He was taken to the First Dist
rict Police station and then re-
leased on the bond.

Courier & Defender
Publishers Acquire
Chi. Dent. Store


Chicago CAMP - Two Of the
nations leading publishers went
into the merchandising business
last week.
John H. Sengstacke, publisher
Of the Chicago Defender and s.
B. Fuller, publisher Of the Courier,
announced last week they have ac-
quired the South Center Depart
ment store from Morris Berman
for an undisclosed sum.
The store, dealing in general
merchandise consists Of three
floors and a basement in the huge
South Center building in the heart
Of the south side Negro area. In
addition to the department store,
the building houses the nationally
known Regal theatre, another
large clothing store, several other
stores and several floors of offices.
The partnership Of Sengstacke
and Fuller in the store Is interest
ing because of the different inter-
ests of the two men. Fuller's Cour-
Ter Is the leading competitor Of
Sengstack's Defender in the Chi
cago area. Sengstabe Is a staunch
Democratic while Fuller Is an I'M
waving Republican.
Sengstack, noting that he and
Fuller were working together on
the project said,
This is just the first Of many
examples to follow Of Negroes
crossing political and all other
lines to cooperate on the basic
matter Of working together in
business. We should have been
doing this years ago. This is Just
the beginning"
Sengstacke's principal business
interest has been the newspaper
and publishing field since he took
over the Defender from his uncle,
Robert A. Abbott In the early
thirdes. Defender publications in
clude the Daily and weekly De-
tenders, the Michigan Chronicle in
Detroit, the Tri-State Defender in
Memphis and the Gary Defender
In Indiana.
Fuller, who started out as a
door to door cosmetic salesman 20
years ago, has extensive and varied
business interests Of which the
Courier is only one.
In addition to the Courier of
which he is publisher and chair
man Of the board, Fuller Is presi-
dent Of Fuller Products company,
which he founded, the J. E. Nc
Brady cosmetics company, Rose
Meta Beauty Products company,
Lpsey Printing company. Chez o.
Teal hosiery company, Inc, Boyer
international Laboratories, Inc,
the Patricia Stevens Cosmetic
company and the Jeanne Nadal
cosmetics company.
With its acquisition by Seng-
stacke and Fuller, South Center
store with ITO employees and 76
departments becomes the nations
largest Negro owned business Of
its type.
The two have plans for extern
sive alterations Of the store, but
for the present its operation and
personnel will remain unchanged.
