Dear Diary
NEW YORK, May 6—Every time I walk into Micy's Department Store, to buy an-airplane, a six-room house or maybe a billy-goat, I keep hoping I won't run into one particular saleslady. The girl is known only to Macy's and her beleaguered husband-—if she still has him. 1 sure I should blush if I met her, because I've been reading her deepest, most intimate thoughts. In her diary, yet. There Is a ead in Macy's advertising department, because somebody hooked that poor kid's diary and spread it all over the newspapers. Right there on: page 8 it said “Diary of a Bride . « (who became a part-timer at Macy's).” My ‘cheeks a bright carmine, I drank in every word— which were painted scarlet, to match my_ cheeks. The first entry was: “Feb. 5—1 kissed John goodby today. Then I cleaned up my darling little apartment. What fun housekeeping is. “Feb. 10—Cleaned apartment. Went to the movies.” “Feb. 11-—Cleaned apartment. Went to- the movies." Time wobbled on, as our feather-headed heroine cleaned her apartment and steeped herself in Gregory Peck, with divvil a thought for her new husband. Then: : “Feb. _18— Boo-hoo! Mother never told me that marriage would be like that. John and I had a quarrel over my spending so much money at the
movies. But the apartment doesn’t keep me busy, |
and I'm so bored! I need a new hat, too.”
Striking at American Home?
THERE IS another passage of time, until little Mrs. Nameless announced that she has gotten a part-time job at Macy's—a place which seems to be a composite heaven, European vacation and Comstock Lode. Then she announces proudly, on Mar. 25: “Ooo! What I earned! Money, money, money! Got “a snazzy new outfit , . . On and on #&nd on. I'm not quite sure what Macy's getting at here, by publishing this forrid stuff. Is it a snide plot against the movies? 1s Macy's deliberately. trying to foment unrest in the nest, in order to fill its payroll roster?
Is Macy's striking -at.. the. ery. roots. of . society, .
the American home?
Or is Macy's just being a big : old blabber- J

No Stars in This Dame's Eyes

Hre-biggest piece of “resi estate “fr-the-of world that: (and I'll probably get an argument on this) has no legal owner. The fact that it’s under water most of the time makes no difference. It's worth millions. Hundreds of millions. And we may have to give it back to the Indians. : That makes a tale that is a tale. And I'm kicking myself for ignoring it for 10 long years. I figured that the interminable arguments between the government, the Congress, the Supreme Court, and the state of California over her tidelands (they've got oil under 'em) was dry stuff, Of interest only on the financial pages. It's been a long time since I've been so Wrong. Fortunes have been spent. And are continuing to be spent-2us tae oil-company lawyers, the California officials, the Congressmen, the Bupreme Court justices and other federal big-wigs orate about who owns a vast fortune in. oil under the California beaches. Nobody thought about the Indians, who were there first. Nobody, that is, except Norman M. Littell and his handsome wife, Katherine, who are attorneys practicing before the Supreme Court. They represent the Navajos in New Mexico in their dealings with the Great White Father. I don't believe I'll cause them to blush when I report that one of their greatest: interests in life is getting a fair deal at long last for the plundered Red Man.
Indians the Rightful Owners?
THE LITTELLS confounded the battlers the other day by asking the Supreme Court what all the shooting was about. - Why not cut out all the flub-dub and hand those tidelands back to the Mission Indians in California? They were the Hettil owners; and the Littells said they could ve it,
