No-Bettor

NEW YORK, Aug. 26—A “no” bettor, in crapshooting parlance, is a guy who bets against the man with the dice. When the roller is trying for a point, the no-bettor aligns himself with the house and gambles that the roller will crap out. When it comes to Mr. Louis Johnson, our Secretary of Defense, I am strictly a no-bettor. Looie Defense has put himself on the record that the Korean War will last only six to eight months, and while I would love to believe it, Looie said it, so I got to bet no. Up to now Looié has an perfect record of being dead wrong.

ost We're in Good Shape,’ He Said

LOOIE is the lad. who: has told us that we were in great shape, militarily. He said also that we would be in big war business an hour after somebody hit us. He was instrumental in the cheese paring that sliced the muscle off our Armed Forces. He scrapped a carrier after the keel was laid without mentioning his intent to the Navy. Loole passed through Korea with a confident grin, and a few days later they threw out a new war. Looie was the man who put his faith in the gimmick weapons, and forgot to stock up on bows and-arrows for this Injun skirmish we got on our hands now. It pains me to say it, but I am not overladen with faith in Uncle Lou's capability to serve as chief of defense. His record is worse than my history at the race tracks. : My faith in politicians of all sorts has been rather sadly shriveled in the last few months. Our fuhrer, after a steady diet of red herring, suddenly discovers the presence of spies in our midst and sets up a clamor for inner security. Our cloak-and-dagger department seemingly got scooped on the Korean thing, so we have just

models were rather slim around the waist. Even through the protective plastic covers you could tell that. John motioned to follow him into a corner where he revealed the hiding place of two models —size 38. That was more like it. Those two could throw a real shadow. John said the stout girls seldom found themselves in the front win-

Some had an all-year suntan while others looked as if they spent most of their time in a night b drinking martinis, when choosing models for a window.

Kitchen utensils are joined by a sweet-faced homemaker. Yard goods usually have in the forefront a gal who looks as if she knew what to do with material. ; John has his troubles with the models. A model will wear out a pair of hose a week. And they'll crack their arms and legs. Sometimes their heads. “But they never complain about the clothes they wear,” added John. Oh, ‘heaven. « ei

Tougher and Tougher

IT IS JUST getting tougher and tougher to dump your childish faith into the lap of any one soothsayer. I don’t believe Louis Johnson knows much more about when the Korean War will end than you or I—or if it will ever end and not merely mushroom into China or some other neighborhood. I believe everybody is just about as uncertain and as fallible as the next fellow and Our leaders have been wrong so frequently that you can’t blame a taxpayer from crinkling his eye-

Droste, long, lean, bald and clad in a beautifully tailored banker’s suit of navy blue, who identified himself as president of the Land Bank in St. Louis. He was frank about his dabblings in half a dozen oil pools organized within his own bank.

Confesses Willingly “GET-RICH-QUICK schemes?” inquired Sen. Allen J. Ellender (D. Ala.) chairman of the Senate Agriculture Subcommittee. - a ae “Exactly,” replied the nervous president of the semi-official money-lending institution in Missouri.

Well, sir, President Droste told how he and six underlings at St. Louis divvied up $50 each to buy some oil leases in Illinois and Arkansas. This panned qut fine. The seven bankers began drawing $12 a month each from their investment. So they established several other syndicates among themselves to buy more leases. To keep them straight they named them: The Roland Pool, the Egyptian Syndicate, the Kinmundy Syndicate, and the Centralia Pool. Some of these resulted in dry holes. But Mr. Droste said he put $1600 into the Centralia Pool and ever since has been taking out $300 a year. which he has assigned to his mother. 8 . These small-time speculators, continued Pres-

Senators All Ears

THE SENATORS pricked up their ears. What kind of shenanigans was this? Gov. Duggan said wearily that he didn't have with him the names of the culprits who apparently issued mortgages to themselves, but that he'd look ‘em up. “Please do,” said Sen. Ellender. “If there's been any rascality, we want to know it.” The Senators announced they were through with President Droste, who returned to St. Louis, -wishing—we can presume—that he'd never de‘cided to become an oil magnate.
