IT MAY SURPRISE you to know that the

public library system detective to remind folks about overdue books when all else fails. It was a surprise to me. When the tall, stern-faced gentleman introduced himself as George B. Stricker, library detective, I thought it was a gag. Even when he

- flashed his badge no bell of guilt disturbed the equanimi

ty of my conscience. A man, you know, is innocent until proven guilty. “You're a hard man to find,” said Mr. Stricker, pocketing his badge and pulling out a white card. “Do you recognize the titles of these books?” he asked, as I examined a typewritten list. Certainly the titles were familiar. Why le? A week or so ago, I said, if a busy man’s memory wasn’t failing him, the books were borrowed from the Central branch. “Have you received any postcards informing you that these books were overdue?”

Yes, There Were Some Cards ON MY FEET by this time, it occurred to me that it was entirely possible that a postcard or two had passed through my fingers. Yes, if a busy man's memory wasn't playing tricks. “You know, certainly you do, Mr, Stricker, that at the present time I am engaged in writing a book.” Mr. Stricker said he wasn't interested at the moment. _ “That book there,” said the detective, pointing to a volume which was poking a telltale back from a pile of accumulation on the desk, “isn’t that ‘A Short Handbook of Literary Terms’ by George G. Loane?” Immediate extrication and examination re-

Who, me? . . . The long arm of George B. Stricker, library detective, tapped a man who is trying to make like an author.

Pretty Seally

NEW YORK, Oct. 18—It took a publicity man and a radio program and a seal named Pierre to finally bring English Channel swimming into its correct focus, which is somewhere between flagpole sitting and goldfish eating in silliness. This past year, the old channel was so full of puffing aspirants that they fouled the propellers of fishing boats. It had to end sometime. Pierre ended it. Only 18 months old, he is by far the youngest swimmer ever to attempt the rough crossing. He made it in five hours—six hours better than any human ever swam the route. There was no mish-mash-about diet and no smearing with grease, Pierre gulped a tossed herring from time to time, and was attired simply and elegantly in a short corset with leash attached. " Plerre’s project was the result of a missed question on the radio program, “Truth or Consequentes,” and his handler, Burt Kennedy, freelance writer, got a dollar for every minute Pierre clipped from the record. Both have returned happily now to Hollywood.

Squints at Lurching Boat

WHAT PIERRE pointed up so sharply is that mankind is occasionally an awful ass, attempting the ridiculous and difficult for no concrete reason except the satisfaction of his ego and sometimes the gratification of his purse. ; For the last 40 years huge commotions have been kicked up over channel swimming—an act so simple for a seal, even at the age of 18 months. Munching happily on his herring, Pierre occasionally kicked over on his side and squinted at the lurching boat which accompanied him. It was full of promoters and reporters, all wet, most of them geasick. I cannot offer you Pierre's direct quotes, but the bet is even he made a few disparaging snorts concerning the general stupidities of this strange animal which walks erect, claims the possession of a soul, and strives hourly to annihilate himself the hard way. Having no gills, no wings, and no flippers, man nevertheless has attempted desperately to emulate the bird and the fish and the seal and has caused

vealed that it was indeed Mr. Loane’s book. Genuine overwhelmed a busy man. “Now don’t try and tell me it's overdue . . .” “Look inside.” Well, what do you know. The stamped date was July 14. “How about ‘Write and Speak Better by William G. Hoffman? It's right there under those papers.” It couldn’t be. Not July 11. Why it seems like only a couple of weeks ago that the book was borrowed. The library better check their stampers. I could swear... “Do you have ‘You Too'?” asked Mr. Stricker. “That's my book. I'm working on it. The library doesn't have it yet. No one has the book.” “ “You Too’ by Roger Burlingame.” Oh. Oh, yes. “You Too” by Roger Burlingame. Entirely different than “You, Too” by you-know-who. *. ; The day was ruined as far as further creative rk was concerned. It took some time but eventually Mr. Stricker and I came to terms. For the seven slightly overdue books the library was asking a payment of $2.04. For Mr. Stricker’s service, a charge of 25 cents was added. Did Ii want to pay? Of course. If a man is caught fair and square he pays if there's no other way out. We parted best of friends but not before I found outa few things about the library sleuth.

Well-groomed, cultured and poised, Mrs. Anderson speaks softly but her voice can rise to shimmering oratorical eloguence. She has a streak of determination, but a calm demeanor hides it and softens opposition rather than antagonizing it. She became interested in politics a few years back, when isolationism was the big issue. She was dissatisfied with her Congressman, but instead of writing him sharp letters, she plunged into active party politics. That was in 1944. She started at the bottom as a doorbell ringing precinct worker for the Democratic Farm Labor Party and became county chairwoman, and state vice chairwoman. Last year she was sent as a delegate-at-large to the Democratic National Convention, and also given the still higher distinction of Democratic National Committeewoman. She became one of the state's

Our government said, though, if she intended to return to the United States (and I have every hope that she does), she’d have to be vaccinated for smallpox. The Peruvian consulate wasn’t much interested in smallpox as such; it said she’d have to bring a health certificate to prove that she carried no disease. It added that, of course, she'd need to be vaccinated for yellow fever.

CHILE wanted her inoculated for typhus. Colombia said she couldn't land there unless she was fixed up for typhoid and some other plagues I don’t recall at the moment. So Mrs. O. called on her doctor;‘he gave her a health certificate. Then he used both her arms to fill her full of assorted serums which left her feeling like a sick, kitten. Anyhow, she thought she was all set. Oh, no, said the sawbones. She'd have to get her yellow fever shots from the U. 8. Public Health Service. And also she’d need to get her health certificate stamped by the public health officer. She got punctured again; she felt no better. Fine, fine, said the Peruvians, shuffling the papers.
