NEW YORK, Jan. 29—It is coming on time for {hat selfless, adopted son-of this country, Serge Rubinstein, to start chafing in his cell and rattling on the bars to get out. Serge, having done 10 months of his 30-month sentence for draft-dodg-ing; will be eligible for parole on Feb, 22—unless he gets sprung first on a technicality. I would hate to see this noble, Russian-born Frenchman of Portuguese citizenship get out for a while, because they tell me they have made it real nice and cozy for the Bergdoll of World War II at Lewisburg, Pa. Lewisburg had a reputation #8 a lovely, salubrious jug, once upon a time, but ferge’s most ardent admirer—me-—made a little noise last spring and now I understand they got the boy manicuring the gentlemen's lounge as a daily chore. This is a fitting occupation for Serge’s particular brand of worm, since his avoidance of the draft saved him from the more arduou chores of butt-sniping in front of the PX, or of wrabbling out a hidey-hole in the ground with lis bare hands. we ¥ Another reason I would hate to see him sprung ~tither on a parole or the legal quibbling his counsel recently. tossed at the U, 8. Circuit Court of Appeals—is that our benign immigration people would probably have all manner of trouble finding 2 country to accept him, when we start to §ive him the heave, If this matter became too Irksome, they might just let him stay here, after the fashion of my old friend, the Princess Stephanie Hohenlohe Schillingsfuerst. After all, they do have the same lawyer, and he is real good at his trade. "The princess, ticketed as an unsavory alien, has been here since 1939.
Let's Bounce the Serge Some More
BUT WE can talk about that later. Let us bounce old Serge around a little bit more. In a recent session before Judge Learned Hand, in the Second Circuit of the U. 8. Court of Appeals, a Philadelphia jawyer named ‘Temuel Schofield Sought to ‘extract his client from the clink by

Needless to say. T kept a weather eye peeled on the pigeons.
They Begin Talking Inquests “WHAT'S THAT over there?” a man asked. A woman's voice answered: “Now, let's not get mixed up in anything.

Ah, foolish people. There I was as ‘Shug as al

The trouble is people just don’t take care of themselves in cold weather Along about 4 o'clock I heard young voices yelling and coming nearer. Pretty soon a red-/ cheeked hoy was looking down at me and calling to two of his friends. . i “Hey, look, it's. a man” The three boys were going home from School 2.

some legal sleight-of-hand involving the differ-| ence between two words. | The words are “liability” and “deferment.” Mr. Schofield, as I get it, wants his boy out on the! grounds that it is OK to lie about readiness for service if you haven't lied about your liability to to serve. This is fuzzily predicated on the fact that, by virtue of the selective service act, every| male within a certain age group was automatically liable. I don’t understand it, either, but I would hate to see the bum come loose on it.
Got No Time Off
IT WILL be some time beforesJudge Hand and his colleagues turn in their decision. In the mean-| time the noted financier. who made several mil- |. lions out of the war, will be more than eligible for release hy.reason of being a good boy and not assaulting the guards. A Purely as a biased witness, T would call this unjust to a few million shoe clerks and bank tellers. since there was no time off for good -behaviour in the late shooting war, Secondly, 1 should hate to see Serge’'s routine of moral regeneration ‘interrupted by clemency. There is something enobling about swabbing out the shower-room and tidying up the powdersalon, as many an ex-GI with no lawyer-to-argue: him out of the infantry can attest.

Cid It will be nice if some of these folksy virtues! are instailed tn Serge, before he samples freedom’s| air again. His lawyer, as I said, is a miracle man. | and if Russia, France and Portugal are coy about; accepting. Mr. Rubinstein, he is apt to be with us! a lang time as a guest. The least they can do, I figure. is house-break him now.
