BOSTON, Sept. 13—Boston hurricane or no hurricane, T went to bed with a life jacket for the last time. Uncomfor* ible darn things. In the dirty gray light of a nasty morning the events which led me to cuddle cork all night seem silly. Especially since the skyline of Boston can be seen from my cabin window and the gangplank hasn't been removed. ¥

A Cheer for the Skipper

AT THIS MOMENT, I should be cheering for Tony Hulman and the U. 8S. Cup tuna team off the coast of Nova Scotia. Instead, I think I'll give a cheer for the skipper, Capt. William B. Corning, who kept his ship tied to the dock. Seventy mile an hour winds can rock a ship this size plenty, You might say the International Tuna Cup Matches are getting a late start this: year. My train pulled into Boston four hours late. Mrs. Tony Hulman’s train pulled in an hour late yesterday. We boarded the. steamer 45 minutes later than the ticket man saia we could. Everyone was talking about the hurricane roaring towards Cape Cod. Finally they let the passengers aboard. Before I had time to locate the lifeboat assigned to my section, word came sailing time was tentatively scheduled for midnight. Eight hours grace. The eager beavers aboard grumbled and growled and made it known they wanted to get . started, regardless. It's hard to determine whether my counsel to Capt. Corning turned the trick, but 4:30 p. m. passed without a screw turning. #ive team members are aboard. You can tell they're anxious because they go around carrying heavy rods and continually flex reels and their back muscles. Mrs. Hulman pointed the five out during dinner. There were two members of the British team; Louis Mowbray and John Kelly Arturo Llavallol, Argentina; Raymundo Castro Maya and Mario Osword, Brazil. Mrs. Osword ate clam chowder at her husband's right. She didn’t .appear any happier about the weather than her husband. After dinner, with sailing time only a few hours away, most of the passengers retired to the main lounge. Others disappeared into staterooms and a

WASHINGTON, Sept. 13— In my day as a police court reporter I have heard some little lulus. in the way of alibis, but never a one so magnificent as that of Henry W. Grunewald, the man of mystery in the Senate's wire tapping case. He had a disease so devilish and so unspellable that he couldn't read the newspapers, listen to the radio, or even watch television-—except when the’ baseball games were on. At the end of the ninth. he: had to snap his video off; doctor's orders. And that was why, said he, that he

Finally Spotted by G-Men - THE G-MEN- finally spotted him on a farm in The Plains, Va. A subpena hauled him before the Senators and the longer- the mystery man spoke, the more mystified were the lawgivers. He turned out to be a sturdy individual: with a sunburned bald ‘spot, a broken nose, and a brand of double-talk all his own. } He ran his sentences together without periods in a manner which made him almost impossible : to-understand. -From-the confusion; the shouting and the arm-waving in the senatorial sanctum, ‘however, there emerged the fact that he occupied " in the Washington. Hotel a suite of rooms in the name of Harry Woodring, the -ex-Secretary of War. About his relations with Mr. Woodring -he would ‘say nothing, not even when threatened ,with a contempt citation. All the Senators Knew was that. Police Lt. Joseph Shimon, the local wire tapper de luxe, occupied these same rooms while he was hitching secret microphones to the telephones of airlines magnate Howard Hughes. Nor would Mr. Grunewald tell the Senators about his education or his early career; they threatened to cite him for contempt on that, too. He shrugged his shoulders,
