When the strangest invitation he'd ever had in his life came to Truck Driver Jesse Herbert Perry—a Santa Rosa bank's request that he pick up $14,000 being held for him—Jesse Herbert picked up the dough. He blew it on "a real ball" for himself. Then it turned out that the bank mistakenly thought it was clearing out the account of another J. H. Perry. Then Jesse Herbert was charged with "larceny by trickery." His defense made two main points: He figured maybe some rich relative had kicked through, and, anyway, "the bank just gave me the money." Voted the jury: Not guilty. Which judgement may be precedent, for all time to come, for a legal theory that a bank is asking for trouble when it goes about forcing money, in 14-grand gobs, on citizens of the Republic.

Which judgement may be precedent, for all time to come, for a legal theory that a bank is asking for trouble when it goes about forcing money, in 14-grand gobs, on citizens of the Republic. Just Cawn’t Do That! According to Railway World, a London magazine, the great British railway shops are still concentrating on building steam locomotives. These aren’t very fast — top speed around 70 miles an hour. And to go that fast the locomotives are equipped with special fire boxes to use “the worst coal in the world.” The why of this? The staid English solemnly comment that they are aware of the superior power and speed of diesel engines, which streak across the American continent. But they figure that going in for diesels would put thousands of their coal miners out of work! Come to think of it, that Revolution of 1776 did more for our peculiar American way of life than change the form of government. What if our English cousins were still running the show over here? We’d never have built a railroad, in all likelihood, because it would have put a lot of skinners and their 20-mule-teams out of work. It would have been in keeping to outlaw the first flivver and maybe give Henry Ford a jail sentence — to protect the buggy builders. Maybe there’s an inkling in all this as to why the U.S. economy and standard of living is as it is — lusty and booming. And why the British economy, at last check, seems thin and ailing. Hollywood By ALINE MOSBY HOLLYWOOD (UP)—John Carradine doesn’t know it, but while acting in Chicago his wife is living in a house with no food, no money, four children, 10 cats, one dog and a visiting opera company. This real life scene out of “You Can’t Take It With You” comes by courtesy of Carradine’s alimony troubles. For many years he exiled himself from California after his first wife put him in jail for back alimony. Recently he moved home with his second wife, and sought a court release from the payments to wife No. 1. Then he accepted a stage role in Chicago at $750 a week but, No. 2 sighed today, he cannot send her much money. His check goes to back taxes, current taxes, his first wife and our furniture storage company in New York,” explained Mrs. Carradine. defeat a variety of noises around the 14-room house in the Hollywood hills. A group of singers, who hope to become Los Angeles’ first opera company, were having their twice-weekly rehearsal in the living room. They were singing, I believe, “La Boheme.” In the middle of an aria, the doorbell rang and a tenor rushed to the door shouting, “This place is a madhouse!” Seven cars jammed the driveway and people streamed in and out of the kitchen. Upstairs, two babies wailed. One is Mrs. Carradine’s. The other belongs to a blonde in red slacks who revealed she was actress Teresa Tudor. Bosomy Blonde “My husband left me and I had no money, so Mrs. Carradine took me in,” she said, rocking the baby in her arms. Underfoot were Sonia’s two small boys (one may have the measles, looking at television, The McCarthy hearings have become more and more trivial. It has long been apparent that the committee majority is not going to rebuke its own chairman or its own staff. Senator McCarthy continues to dominate the hearings. We must expect them to end with a split decision which will clarify nothing. The most valuable likely result is a decisive decline in the popularity and importance of the junior Wisconsin Senator. The public have heard and seen what manner of man he is. They have watched him manipulate a good-natured but inefficient chairman; they have seen him browbeat witness after witness; they have heard his unending self-justifying speeches; they have listened to his continually-repeated smeals which were rarely answered. Those who still believe in McCarthy after watching these hearings have certainly allowed their hatred of communism to defeat sober judgment. Meanwhile, the Federal District Court in Washington has done its part to deflate further the Senator’s standing as an exposer of Communists. Most people have forgotten that McCarthy’s original reputation as the great enemy of communism was based on a statement he made at Wheeling. W.Va. On February 9, 1950, he said there in a public speech “I have here in my hall a list of 203—a list of names that were made known to the Secretary of State as being members of the Communist Party and who nevertheless are still working and shaping policy in the State Department.” That statement created a sensation, as McCarthy knew it would. Of course it was a lie, and McCarthy admitted it was a lie by the way he whittled it down. By several stages, McCarthy finally got it down to this assertion which was still a lie but a much smaller lie: “I have in my hand 57 cases of individuals who would appear to be either card-carrying members or certainly loyal to the Communist Party but who nevertheless are still helping to shape our foreign policy.” Then he accepted a stage role in Chicago at $750 a week but, No. 2 sighed today, he cannot send her much money. "His check goes to back taxes, current taxes, his first wife and our furniture storage company in New York," explained Mrs. Carradine, the former actress Sonia Eorel. "He sent me $100 a few weeks ago, but I have only four cents left. But, oh well," she laughed gaily, "we invite people to dinner and they bring the food." Mrs. Carradine spoke loudly to Bosomy Blonde "My husband left me and I had no money, so Mrs. Carradine took me in," she said, rocking the baby in her arms. Underfoot were Sonia's two small boys (one may have the measles, looking at television, heaps of clothes and toys, income tax forms, a mother cat and nine kittens, a big collie and a stack of portraits Sonia painted. "I don't want to divorce my husband. I love him. He's sort of the Barrymore type. I married him for better or worse." Songs of a Sonneter By R. Louis Scott "LORD, USE THOU ME!" Lord, I, Thy servant, find my good in Thee; Not for just now, but for Eternity: Where'er the task—show me what ways to go—and I will do my best: Lord, use Thou me! Tho mighty currents round me ebb and flow, Drawing me on to ends I may not know, With Thee to aid me, I can breast Life's tide—and help those about me to live—and grow! Thine olden promise—that Thou wouldst provide, Sufficient is: with Thy firm Hand to guide, I can, in this Life's springtime, set out seed That folk who reap it—find their lack supplied! Lord, use me now: that better men be freed For the greater tasks of Tomorrow's need! Prayer—36/87 It is what you would expect from a man who seeks to use altered photographs and faked letter as evidence, a man who angrily charged Attorney Welch with having telephoned him for more than an hour during a luncheon period when Attorney Welch was lying down and resting. But to get back to McCarthy's charge about the 205 reduced to 81 and then to 57 card-carrying Communists in the State Department. There was not a single card-carrying Communist in the State Department because the Communist Party hasn't issued any cards for some years. Long and careful investigation finally turned up one alleged Red sympathizer in the State Department whose name was on McCarthy's list. He was indicted. His alleged Communist associates turned out to have been Socialists. And this week the Federal District Court dismissed this indictment because it was obtained by misrepresentation. Nothing else has come from this, the most important of the innumerable McCarthy charges. This is the way reckless charges usually end in a land where justice PREDICTABLE RESUR The David Lawrence Dispatch By DAVID LAWRENCE GENEVA—What is the true significance of this conference? There is something here that vitally concerns every man, woman and child in America and in every other country as well. For top men of the East and the West have sat down together here to talk intimately about the biggest issue in the world today—whether there is to be another world war and what might bring it about. This year's conferences at Berlin and Geneva are the first since 1945 in which the East and West have faced the facts so frankly, and they haven't minced words either. What the various delegations have said, of course, about the Indochina and Korean problems in their public speeches or in the so-called restricted sessions, where 40 persons are present, are merely the outward manifestations of various national policies. What has been said, however, over the lunch or dinner table and in the quiet of a private parlor afterward—with just three or four persons present as the broader issues in the world are discussed—can be said to be the real story here. Naturally, what is said by the foreign minister of Soviet Russia or what is said by an American envoy when they are alone or what is suggested by the British Foreign minister when he is alone with the foreign minister of Red China is reported back only to the heads of governments in top-secret form. Such conferences would be valuable if they were instantly reported in the press. It would be sensational news if you could publish everything that Great Britain, through its foreign minister, says to Soviet Russia or all that the American representative says when he has a heart-to-heart talk with Mr. Molotov, with only a Russian interpreter present, especially when the Soviet foreign minister fails to go north of the Yalu river—the Korean war, which has been criticized by many of us, certainly demonstrated that we did not wield a war with Soviet Russia in Far East or anywhere else. knew then that the Soviets had always dreaded a two-front war and we might have taken the risk—but we didn't. It is interesting how often possibility of a third world comes into the conversation among the top men. It is not a prising because lurking in the background is the question not Korea or Indochina but the war that can come if there are more clashes between the East and West. In all this, the sparring that goes on in public plays a part. The Soviets see divergence between Britain and France between America and Britain, as they tend to exaggerate them their own minds. This has to overcome, so Anthony Eden, British foreign minister, tells Red Chinese foreign minister to count too much on transient references because, in the final showdown, all the allies will stand together. Not the least interesting of confidential exchanges has touched on Soviet Russia's relations with Red China. Communist Chinese have a sort of independence of and yet a dependence on Soviet Russia, and behold the scenes—for they don't pullize their differences as we ours—the going has been tough and the coordination not too smooth between Moscow and Peiping. Out of it all comes, a single important fact. It is costly for Soviets to maintain a supply line of a military nature into Korea and Indochina and it is costly, too, put so many billions of rubles in armament preparations when demand inside the Soviet Union for a better standard of living—the pressures for peace are at all and ROLF KALTENBORN Carthy hearings have been and more trivial.

He is completely unfit to be either a Senator or an investigator. If the McCarthy-Army circus now happily approaching its end had made that clear to millions of long-deceived Americans, it may have been worthwhile. Too many of us have been inclined to tolerate the vicious aspects of McCarthyism because we thought he was serving a good cause. The truth is he has helped real Communists escape by leading us down innumerable false trails. A Kremlin agent could not have done as well. FROM H.V.'s DESK: The current visit of Emperor Haile Selassie of Ethiopia should emphasize again the tragic perils of appeasement in the face of aggression. I talked with Mussolini just before he attacked Ethiopia. Having just come from Geneva, I warned the Italian dictator that there would be collective action against him by the League of Nations. But Mussolini was mor eof a realist. His eyes flashed and he shouted at me. "The League! The League! What did the League do in Manchuria? The League will do nothing!" And he was right. First the League ignored the aggression. Then, when it voted sanctions, France and Britain ignored them. We were not League members and we helped supply the oil that enabled Mussolini's troops to defeat Haile Selassie's primitively-armed forces by March. 1936. I heard Haile Selassie, with tears in his eyes, make his last futile appeal to the League in Geneva which ended with the prophetic words: "Goal and history will remember your judgement . . . Will another emperor, Bao Dai of Indo-China, be able to voice his bitter comment about another lesson in appeasement?

With the steadily rising number of physically and mentally fit Americans aged 65 and over, employers should revise some of their old prejudices against the older worker. For instance, a recent study of absenteeism revealed that workers aged 65 to 75 lost an average of only three days per 100 workdays, while workers 20 to 30 years old lost 5 days cut of 100. Older workers also have fewer accidents. Those are but two dollars-and-cents reasons why employers should hesitate before automatically dismissing their older employees.

Farmer McCabe May 29, 1954 I see where one of the towns out here in California has started a contest to name the Father of the Year. I understand that one feller's name has been suggested over 500 times as the Father of the Year. He ain't no father either, but the suggesters proudly point out that he daily feeds and cares for six Cats, two Lap Dogs, three Goldfish and one Canary fer his wife, and they feel that it oughther qualify him. Farmer McCabe (all rights reserved) Othman's Views on Washington Scenes By FREDERICK C. OTHMAH WASHINGTON — Twenty-one days and 3,600 pages after the inquiry began, the Army wound up its charges against Sen. Joe McCarthy. This was a lot of days and pages to prove (1) that Sen. Joe's chief counsel, Roy Cohn, had a hot temper and (2) that the senator's helpers did their dead-levestest trying to keep Private G. David Schine off KP duty. The Army doubtless proved some other things, too, but somehow they don't seem important this summer afternoon to this particular veteran of the Senate Caucus Room. Now Sen. McCarthy, the demon investigator, begins his presentation of evidence against the Army. He promises to make it snappy. He charges that the military tried to blackmail him into quitting his inquiry into alleged fraud and corruption involving the Army's own loyalty board. He has some other charges, too, but they don't strike me as being particularly evil, either. If he can wind up in maybe a week, or even two, there's an excellent chance that the senators on the investigating committee can get back to the job of law-making. Business is piling up on their deks. The final session of the Army's lambast against Sen. McCarthy and Co. was without its moments. I particularly enjoyed the testimony of Capt. James J. M. Miller, a young and handsome officer from Fort Dix, N.J. The Captain was in charge of 250 drafttees there, but he had no trouble with 249 of them. His problems all were named G. David Schine, late of Sen. McCarthy's committee staff. He'd hardly known the millionaire private for a hour, he said, before young Schine was telling him if he ever wanted to take a little trip to Florida, he knew a Col. Bradley and... The Captain shut him up in a hurry, on the theory that privates shouldn't be way out to the rifle range, where he'd ordered his men to practice. The captain spied one of his own trucks parked at the commissary in the rain, with the motor idling. To his amazement, he found Private Schine inside the cab. And what was he doing there? Studying logistics, said the Army's best-known private. This really made the Captain sore and he chased that private out to the range instanter. There he gave Schine a further bawling out. So Schine put his hand on the Captain's shoulder and said, "Sh-h-h-h-h-, don't talk so loud." The Captain brushed off the private's fingers and told him off. Next thing Capt. Miller knew, his problem soldier was telling all hands that he really wasn't at Fort Dix to learn how to be an infantryman, but to reorganize the Army along more modern lines. There was more of this, much more, involving special passes to New York for the private, so he could continue his committee work. Then Senator McCarthy blew up. He said this was drivel, and if the committee insisted on listening, he didn't intend to waste his time. He stalked out to his office, with the suggestion that somebody phone him when, as, and if the committee got around to some thing important. Twenty minutes later he was back, smiling. He said he'd just conferred with the senate's Republican leader and that the whole committee of which he's chairman would have to start night sessions to get its work done. All the members of the subcommittee, of which he isn't a member, are members of his full committee. If that sounds complicated, it means merely that we are dealing with the U.S. Senate. It also indicates that the investigators hearing McCarthy's charges by day henceforth will have to work under his leadership by night on their legislative job. And I wouldn't be surprised now Your Birthday Forecast By STELLA SATURDAY, MAY 29—Born today, you have an extremely magnetic personality which is likely to thrust you into the limelight wherever you go. You are impulsive, even hot-headed, and are apt to get into the worst kind of mix-ups. But you manage to get out of them too, and always land on your feet, running forward toward your major objective. Your highly emotional temperament is apt to make you moody. One moment you are in the depths of despair—the next, in a golden glow of optimism. You should discover that your physical health has a great deal to do with your moods. You expend nervous energy lavishly and when you are physically tired, you become mentally depressed. A good night's sleep will often miraculously dispel a morbid mood. Naturally warm-hearted and friendly, you can be harsh and bitter when your will is crossed or when you believe that an injustice has been done either to yourself or to a friend. Among those who were born on this date are: Gilbert Chesterton, author; Patrick Heary, statesman; John Emerson, actor-playwright; Oswald Spengler, historian and Beatrice Lillie, actress.
