BOSTON, Sépt. 11—The Eastern Steamship Lines steamer to Yarmouth, Nova Scotia, can pull out anytime. I'll feel safer bumping tuna fish than walking the streets of this burg. After four hours here, walking and riding, cabs, my hair has stood on end no less than eight times. It's the unusual driver who slows down.on a side street before barreling on a main drag. You won't hear any more complaints from me about Indianapolis drivers. - - . - In my quest for some safety and solace, thinking about the coming International Tuna Matches in Wedgeport, I turned into the grounds of the Church of the Immaculate Conception. Not a bad thing to do on Sunday.

up. We struck up a conversation that was just what I needed. ?

Thoughts Turn to Korea

YOU SEE, I feel pretty happy about getting the chance to observe and report the International Tuna Matches. But a guy can’t help thinking about what is happening in Korea. You think about it long enough and the spirit gets dampened good. Maybe you read last Thursday's piece ims The Times by Jim G. Lucas from Taegu. i He told how it feels to retreat. He said it wasn't pretty when you're running away “from something you don’t see but something which is so powerful and threatening you can't even stop to think.” oo - He wound up by writing: - “It’s you, Jim Lucas, 1st Lieutenant in the Marine CorpsgReserve and Scripps-Howard staff writer, running for your life—rynning a little harder than anyone else because ‘this is your first time and you're not sure whether it's the real thing or a false alarm— running and hofiing desperately you don't look the fool and coward you feel. “I can alsp.tell you this—you want to know the reason. u promise yourself you'll find out when you get home—not for a news story or an editorial but because you want to know who did

this to you and who made it necessary for you to run for your life.” { Why should Jim Lucas be running for his life in Korea and I should be going to Nova Scotia to watch experts catch tuna fish? Call it the breaks : > of life. Call it anything. But you understand, I B $i} O N Y hope, how some of the enthusiasm for many of the P W —-— activities right now can be dulled. U er ens u - e ear I told all this to the Rev. John W. Kelley after 5 i we talked awhile.

‘Feels a Terrific Lift’-

“INTERNATIONAL games of any kind have a sense of stability and certainly have a position in“the community of nations,” Father Kelley said. “It shows men have confidence in the future, They are a safety valve to the increasing pressures of our times.” | Listening to Father Kelley falk and laugh with the calm serenity of a .man who deeply | believes .that all evil is temporary, I felt a ter-| rific lift. Right then it was hard to conceive] that any. American would even think of personal! gain in connection with the present conflict. : It seems incredible that some men reach for pieces of silver while other men reach for something with which to halt the enemy and stop running. Father Kelley and I shook hands. He went into the rectory and I entered the church. What happened there is between him and me. I can. tell you this. . He makes you feel better. | TY ; .

NEW YORK, Sept. 11--The modish maid this fall will be wearing something called a strait jacket, and I think she deserves it. She will also have the “fuzzy look” as she lumbers by in her greatcoat of poodle cloth. You heard me. Poodle cloth. Shaggy dog, yet. Madame will wear earrings this year, and she will wear both on the same ear. Who knows why? Who knows why they all cut their hair off, last

year? Who knows why they go for this silliness, —

year after year? Nobody, not even the fashioneers who fatten off madame's penchant for peculiar behavior in the Fall and Spring. All the mode boys do is exploit a foible that appears to be built in.

‘The Monk’ Is Tops ;

THE HOT KID in the fashion circus right new

- would be a lad named Balenciaga, a mysterious

dude called “The Monk of Couture,” who is so shy that even the gush-girls who flee to Europe to load up on seasonal frippery have never met him. The “Monk” lately has been stealing some noise from Jacques Fath and Christian Dior and Piguet and Milyneux, and whatever became of Worth? Apart from my resentment of the fact that 1 must subsidize an artist who is so uppity that he won't even talk to the people who buy his stuff, I ain't real overjoyed at his insulation of the fabled form in materials that look like something a Russian private might wear for utility purposes in January. From my latest squint at the fashion bibles, the dames appear to have dug in for a hard winter, and digging them out wil be a job for a snowplow, not a mere man. The latest copy of Harper's Bazaar, which I always wear next to my heart, carries a most disquieting double truck. On one page is a maid wearIng a fuzzy coat so voluminous that she looks less like a lady than a Manchurian peasant. She is aiso wearing a dog. The greatcoat is by Dior. I do pot know the dog's parents. Right across from her on the other page is a lass swaddled in an excess which was sired by this Balenciaga bloke. But she is wearing the same dog

WASHINGTON, Sept. 11—Randolph Hampden Feltus is a Feltus of Virginia, suh. He's no Com-

~ munist, not even if he did function for a while

as press agent for the government of Poland, before the Reds took over. . So there was the handsome young Feltus, eurly-haired, mustachioed and clad in a white linen coat, telling the U. 8. Senate about his career as an international tub thumper. Profitable, any way you look at it. . He worked for Poland for a while at $3000 per month and later at $750. Then he took on the Alaskan statehood campaign at $1500 a month. At the same time he was drawing down $1500 a month from Matty Fox, the old-time moviemaker and bubble gum impresario, who later organized the American-Indonesian Corp. Feltus also publicized at one time or another the governments of Holland and of Borneo at about the same wages.
