It Happened Last Night Groucho Really Wrote

I have em. Typical of Groucho's epistolary style was his answer to Joseph D. Dent, assistant secretary of the Guaranty Trust Co., who wrote about their long banking relationship and said, “If ever we can bc of any assistance, please let us know. Groucho replied: “Dear Mr. Dent: Frankly, the best assistance you can give me .is to steal sgothe money from the account of one of your richer clients and credit it to mine.

THE JONES BOYS—

Dogfaces In Double-Breasted Suits

imes Special Writer

. 10—When the Jones bov twins

left their newspaper photographer jobs in Washington, D.C. about a year and a half ago to shoot TV movies of the Korean War, somebody decided to give them a

farewell mistake, With characteristic enter - prise, the Joneses rigged up a time bomb to go off shortly after they had left the office party for the airport. The. resulting blast smashed a chair to smithereens, upset a desk, and reduced an assistant editor to near hysteria. :

A trail of such explosions - sometimes figurative, often literal—seems to follow the hairbrained, 26-year-olds wherever they go. Recently that’s included the Far East, the Middle East, Europe, Africa and Alaska. < . NBC hired the twins, Gene and Charlie, on the basis of their World War II experience as Marines, to shoot the upfront war in Korea. They shot the movies, all right, and in return got shot, on » » FORTY MINUTES after going in with the first wave of Marines at Inchon, Gene was hit in the stomach by mortar fragments. Seriously wounded, he managed to crawl 500 yards down the beach and persuade a

party. That was a

Marine to deliver his precious film. Nine days later Charlie was hit in the left knee while inch ingghis way with the infantry into embattled Seoul. They pressed their luck further by Jumping behind enemy lines with t aratroopers. Now y've written a hook with pictures on the Korean War, and it's a pip. Harry, how the money rolls in. But once a Marine, always a Marine, and their love of loves is the infantry, They are still just dogfaces in double-breasted suits. They are afraid of nothing that walks, talks or breathes and that includes their boss, Frank McCall.

» Ed n ONE DAY last summer they confronted McCall in hig office. “We want to go to the Pole,” (Gene announced. McCall groaned and slid down in his chair. “Which one?” he

asked. “North.” said Gene, “Why?” “'Cause we ain't ever heen there.” “Oh.”

The fire of communism is at our door, and it is absurd to imagine that to devise a means to put out the fire i& to play with it. “Isn’t it natural that when there's a nearby fire, neighbors should get together and think of measures that would protect them from that danger, especially if their close friends are either too far away or : not ready to help?
