A COLD, wet fish off the ice {sn’t the most pleasant thing to handle. That I know. We shake hands many times a week with people whose hands remind us of cold fish. Why not take ahold of a cold fish that is money in the pocket? Can’t understand it.

If there were no takers, I'd have a problem as well as a fish on my hands. You can't throw a 3';-pound fish in the gutter or a downtown trash box. Stares, some of which equaled the one my pike was wearing, continued coming until Mrs. G. I. Scanling, 5741 N. Michigan Rd., happened along. Mrs. Scanling took one look at the fish, then at me and held out her hand. She took the fish and thanked me. “You can’t fool me.” she said. “I should be fishing this after-

Americana ‘By Robert C. Ruark

NEW YORK, Aug. 31—1It is very possible that Harry Truman's fabulous “pluntness,” which is more often just plain rudeness, will earn him some fresh friends as a result of his ill-mannered reception of the Czech ambassador, Vladimir Prochazka. “Old Harry sure got him told,” they'll say. “Good old Harry. When he bawls ‘em out they stay bawled.” I am not very impressed ‘with a President who hits an occasional gutter-level of bad taste to wrangle personally with inferiors. If we are officially angry with the Czechs for their treatment ‘of the jailed newspaperman, Bill Oatis, and we have been ignored in our formal diplomatic demands for his release, then there are all sorts of nice little official penalties’ we can impose. oe < oe WE CAN sever diplomatic relations entirely, which would grieve nobody here very hard, and I daresay that the Czechs wouldn't start a war with us until mother Russia sdys so. Or we could just sort of break off all trade relations, which would hurt the loving Czechs painfully in the pocket. This almost any nation, even a slave satellite, understands. But we solve little when intemperate Harry decides to clean out the harroom with a mouthful of abuse that more befits a mule skinner than the head of a state. It certainly scares nobody, and lowers the stature of Harry's office, which is a high office. Harry's bawlings-out are never congistent enough to be effective. He has not bawled out a great many of the cute cronies who do peculiar business with government funds, and the last time I looked he had not bawled Bill O'Dwyer loose from the job of Ambassador to Mexico. a IT SEEMS to me we ought to formulate some dignified and effective. way for dealing with the people who stomp on our toes—that is, if we are so conscious of other people's rights that we mount a full-scale war to avenge ‘the downtrod Koreans. Up to now we have come off sadly when

He's Not Impressed By Truman Bluniness

the Red Yugoslavs shoot down our fliers or when the Hungarians put the snatch on Robert Vogeler and we have to bribe him out of the jailhouse. The issue on impoundment of our nationals is clear. Either the guy is working for our spy shop and takes his medicine like a man, or he is not working for the intelligence boys and hence deserves all protection short of war. If he is an agent, he is spying on purpose and must be sacrificed because he knows the terms of his job in calculated risk. But if he is just an innocent victim of totalitarian pressure, bribery and ransom doesn't work for very long, and ranting at a paid diplomat won't solve it. "When you have sent terse demands to a nation, and they are ignored, calling its striped-pants salesman a bum is of very little effect. The bum has been called a bum before, and by his masters.

.AS I recall, when the Chinese had Angus ward sewed up tight in Mukden, the State Department, for which Ward worked, didn’t do anything concrete about springing him until the Scripps-Howard newspaper organization raised so much ruckus that Ward became an international incident and they had to set him free. All this seems an odd way to run a railroad, if you are as big and powerful and rich a nation as they keep saying we are. You don’t cuss or plead or take it sitting if they persist in shooting your fliers and jailing your nationals and kidnaping your consuls, You answer the toughness with toughness and in a way the boys can understand. We had that miserable little Gubichév cold in collusion with Judy Coplon, the bobby-sox spy dame, and we let him loose and sent him home plumb free. I expect if we had shot him there would be less inclination abroad to push our people around. I do not suggest that I know .the answer to the problem of protecting our nationals abroad, but T do know one thing: Blustering at tame ambassadors ain't it. It is too much like hollering into a barrel.

The Lobster Shift

UP HERE WHERE you get salt in the air, but can’t get it out of a salt shaker, there are more gamblers to the square mile than anywhere on earth. They function on faith, plus a chunk of herring on an ugly hook. From there on they play their luck. Either the fish are ‘“a-run-nin’ ” or they aren't. And that determines when and if a fisherman eats. This year the fish are “out,” which means simply

that they've gone somewhere else. That's the little fish, table size.

” ” LJ THE LOBSTER BUOYS, | gaudy reds and yellows, blues, | greens and whites, are bobbing | everywhere. And the gatch is | “medium.” They bring in both “gshedders” and “hardbacks.” For the “hardbacks,” the kind we get in Indianapolis, the fisherman gets 45 cents a pound. For the ‘‘shedders’” or softshells, they get 35 cents a pound. This is why. When a ‘lobster sheds his shell, the meat is soft and mushy. So the lobster buyers put these in “cars” or “live boxes” , until they grow new shells, and their meat firms. Then they peddle them at tap
