COVENTRY, England, July 31-—Did you ever follow a hunch and have it turn out better than you hoped it wotild? I did just that with’ the mayor of Coventry, Harry Weston. The beginning of this story goes back to early May when 1 was planning this European junket. In my own inimitable and simple way of thinking, I decided to take a gift to King George. My pocketbook precluded any fancy gift, I thought it should be something from my Hoosier State of Indiana. Why not a book? King George probably never gets a book for a present. hoo by,
MANY BOOKS were considered. “The OF Swimmin’ Hole and 'Leven Other Poems," by James Whitcomb Riley, one of Indiana's most famous poets, was selected. It was properly bound and addressed to thé King with gold lettering. The whole job, with a generous gesture on the publisher's part, didn't cost more than a case of warm beer.
My original plan was to give it to the King fn person. It was until I got to England. Custom has it that private audiences with common folks

CAMP MTO-WA-MBU, Tanganyika, July 31— Considering the somewhat ridiculous ease with which we amassed the pasic bag. the rhino geemed a cinch. Also the oryx, a beautiful big antelope with long, needle-sharp horns. The vicinity of Lake Manyara, here in Tanganyika, was supposedly boiling with both Faro, which is rhino, and Choroa, which is oryx. I expect I was sort of smug. I had accumulated two lions and a leopard in three days, The leopard was very special, because there is an Austrian count who has been coming out here for 14 years to get a leopard and has never bagged one. All the other game—impalla, Tommy, Grant gazelle, waterbuck, eland, even w art hog, were candidates for the record book. Only the buffalo was short of official specification, and by
not much. >

I JUST SPENT a week around the Manyara area, and haven't fired a shot at either rhino or oryx. Hapana Faro. Hapana Choroa. Hapana is a very expressive Swahili word which means: No, none. ain't got none, don't stop. It is the classic negative. , But I am grateful to this rhino I never shot, this oryx I never shot, and am prouder of hoth than of all the beautiful trophies that nest in the back of Annie Lorry, the undependable truck. I never worked so hard for anything in my life before.
Harry Selby, my professional hunter, and I were up and out of camp every day at daybreak. We got home at 9 p. m., because we
never stopped working until the shooting light was gone. Jessica the jeep averaged 100 miles a day over acridly dusty plain and nearly impassable swamp. We got stuck in rivers. We climbed minor mountains. We struggled through swamp ooze and high cane and crawled on

What does one gay to a guy who's wearing a towel? “Geez, that's a lovely towel you have on! I'll bet you got that towel in Paris, didn’t you now?" Some Hollywood stars would have their towels done by Schiaparelli, but Cary had just picked up this towel somewhere—probably in the bath- : : room. Cary “What are you doing in town?” I asked finally. 1 supposed he'd come to town to buy some britches. “I'm here to talk up ‘People Will Talk'” he said.

THE PHONES were ringing, and the towel was flying in and out of rooms. Cary had some No shoes,

are out. Besides, the King is a pretty sick man. I was stuck with the book and a letter of introduction from Indiana's Gov. Schricker.
So I wandered around England on the lookout for somebody to unload the book on. Somehody who would appreciate the small gestyjire of friendship. : hb IT WASN'T until T blew into Coventry that I began to feel I was getting warm. Mayor Henry Weston is an extremely popular man. Everyone calls him Harry. In this tradition-bound land, that is a mark of great respect and a tremendous compliment to the man himself. Harry Weston was born in Coventry. He operates a small machine-too! shop. Harry Weston lives and breathes Coventry, His roots reach back to 1040 when Lady Godiva made her famous ride on the white horse. I heard about Harry Weston from the taxi cab driver who drove me from the railroad station to the only hotel in town. I heard about Harry Weston at the hotel. The provost of Coventry Cathedral, the Very Rev. RT. Howard, spoke highly of Harry Weston. There was the man to get Riley's book on behalf of the King. . 5 GO ; THE MAYOR'S secretary informed me he wouldn't be in that morniag and asked what my business was. 1 told her. She called the Mayor at his plant. He said he would be right down. It wasn't every day he had a visitor from America. In 15 minutes Mayor Weston came in. He practically jumped up and down when I showed him the little book and Gov. Schricker’s letter. He was so delighted I felt a bit uncomfortable. I didn’t expect it to be so well received.
Mayor Weston asked if I would enjoy a glass of sherry. I said I would and my glass was never empty during the entire hour I was in his office. Gad, what ‘a host. . ob

MAYOR WESTON explained the King would be honored. The King loves simple thinge. ¥urthermore, explained the Mayor, in the very near future, he was being presented to King George and he would see that the book and the letter would be in his hands. Then he showed me a batch of drawings he received from an elementary school he visited recently. After the visit the children drew pictures of the gala day when the Lord Mayor of Coventry, attired in his royal robes of office, was in their school. “TI wouldn't sell these drawings for 10,000 pounds ($30.000),” said the Mayor. “You don't understand us. very well if you think your gift won't be appreciated.” Mission accomplished. A direct hit. Mayor.

You could feel the tension mount. Adam and Kidogo. the gunbearers, and Chabani, the car boy, were up until 1 or 2 every night after hunting hard all day, cleaning guns and repairing the ravages of rock and swamp on the jeep.

“Whats that locket you're wearing” 1 asked. “Oh, it’s sort of a keep-well thing given to me years ago by my ex-wife, Barbara.” There was a lot more stuff we talked about for about an hour but in my notes I keep running across the word towel so I'd better give it up. It was just my luck to be interviewing Cary Grant instead of, let's say, Linda Darnell.

Well, that was the last thing I expected him to say. “You drag yourself around the field like a veteran who has been playing ball for 20 years,” he told me. “Why do you act that way if you're not lazy?” “Well, Bert,” 1 said, “I'm so ‘nervous, so scared, that I want to hide my fear from the crowd, and especially from the other players on the team. I hoped that by taking it easy, I'd get rid of my nervousness.” #Frank,” he said, “it will
