Ge “PALM SUNDAY seems to have mor - ficance when you're able to pick your ore oa and J8T8.10 Welcome Christ.” . John P. Craine, rector of the Christ Episcopal. Church, said those words, we had over an hour of friendly chatter behind us about Passion Week, his early desires to become & journalist, baseball player or politician. Really, it's a pleasant surprise the day (and this hapPened long ago) you discover men of the cloth can talk about secular matters. They're human. Give them a chance some-~ time. Our session an with palms and Palm ci This will: be Rev. Crane's third year at Christ Church and he = . hap that he had to order == arr. 'e palms than last year. He is ple increased attendance. y pleated: win

All of his former ministry was on the Pacific Coast and this time he thinks about the afternoons he and 10 to 15 young members of his church went into the foothills to gather palms. It was an event they looked forward to each year. ¢ 9 NOT QUITE as spontaneous as the first time the rafthful gathered palms to greet Christ, but more satisfying than ordering a certain number of bundles of palms from a supply house and waiting for delivery. '

Rev. Craine thought the young people of Santa Barbara appreciated more the ey Palm Sunday is supposed to teach; the readiness of our enthusiasm and faflure of our wills. We are quick to praise and just as quick to crucify.

Tuesday before Palm Sunday, after the older high school pupils came home, the palm gatherers would pile into cars and head for a previously scouted area. Three hours later, with pails tied on fenders and tops, they would head for home.

Older parishioners would assume the responsibility of ‘washing and soaking and preparing the palms for distribution. :

NEW YORK, Apr. 5—S8tay out of the kitchen, dolis—if you want to be glamorous. This controversial hunk of advice has just been served up to us by the lovely Hollywood actress, Jane Greer. It's not meant for housewives. actresses. As actresses never take advice anyway, it’s perfectly harmless. “Hollywood's biggest mistake,” pretty Miss Greer told me, “is trying to make everybody believe the stars are like the girl next door. “Now that's silly. If they were like the gil next door, nobody'd ever go to the movies. They'd go next door to see the girl next door.” Whereupon and forthwith, Miss Greer reeled off the names of a bunch of Hollywood glamour dolls who never go into the kitchen except to mix a drink. Or, if they do, they keep their mouths shut about it. Here they are: Marlene Dietrich, Marilyn Monroe, Ava Gardner, Joan Bennett, Joan Crawford, Paulette Goddard, Shelley ‘Winters, Greta Garbo, Elizabeth Taylor, Vivien Leigh. e © 2% 1 “THEY,” said Miss Greer, “all have glamour. : What is glamour? It's what you don’t know— { and what you are led to believe. Ahhh, mystery again. 3 : “yes,” nodded Miss Greer. “Hollywood is still talking about the appearance that Marlene Dietrich made at the Academy Award affair a year

NEW YORK, Apr. 5—The. airplane is a magnificent invention and it flies on schedule from Here to Mexico City and it flies from Mexieo-City to here. If you leave here at 9 p. m. you can have breakfast with Bill O'Dwyer, and if he leaves there at 9 p. m, he can have breakfast “with the grand jury that wants to buy him a couple sinkers and acuppa cawfee, But we are not seeing very == much ef the lammister ambas- | sador these days, despite the urgent pleas for him to come home and talk a little bit for the grand jury. He is too busy. And the State Department is too busy to make him come home. It is one of the first recorded instances of a man using his own embassy to thwart the due process of law. I say this only because, air transportation being what it is, he could be’ here in 15 hours, including lousy weather ar | torpid customs checks.

IT MAY that people outside of New York are uninterested in the ambassador, but they shouldn't be. They ought to take a strong, quick look at a political situation which is so cynically calloused that it employs a high diplomatic appointment to grant sanctuary to a fellow whose pals are headed for the old jailhouse. You remember the O'Dwyer story. One day he was the mayor of New York, which ranks somewhere close to the presidency of the United States in prestige. There was a big scandal brewing—a scandal involving collusion with criminals, corruption of cops and other public officials, penetration of crime into politics—a stenchful boil of pure political pus, ripe for the lancet. That charmin’ broth of a bye, Will, pooh-pooed the whole thing in the favored cliche of: the politico—witch hunt. And when an honest D.A. named Miles McDonald pressed the matter, all of a sudden we had no mayor. They named Willie O'Dwyer ambassador to Mexico quicker than a Latin politician gets his money out of Cuba. So 4 2

SINCE THAT time a more than chummy cénnection between our honored ambassador and ornized crime has been shown. We beckoned our ill back, once, to be grilled by the Kefauver Committee, We are asking that our Will come back now, to talk to a grand jury, which could force him to step up and speak his piece if he weren't hiding behind diplomatic immunity in a foreign land. The State Department has refused * to order the laddy-buck to come home, or else. What are we to think? Only the other week I went to Mexico just to see a bullfight. The planes

PALM SUNDAY is an old experience too the proper way to observe it is AD nang talism. Rev. Craine said the holy day represents another one of the ways Christ's life can be dramatized and made real, also imperishable.

I had to laugh the way Rev. Craine brought in television. That's what I mean about men in cloth. They're dealing in imperishables but if the - perishable can make a point clearer, you're going to get it. He said he gets a big lift out of visiting homes and seeing a cross of palms in the midst ‘of the worldly possessions, It is a reminder that an ef. fort is being made in the midst of materialism

. to recognize that God is the Supreme Being. Tele-

vision represents the new, the perishable. The palm cross, the imperishable. We digressed for a few minutes and kicked the news around and we see eye to eye. And I told him to forget about his secret ambition of being a newspaperman. He probably could be a good one, I'm sure he chose the right vocation. Palms, in the main, are an incidental concern for Rev. Craine at Christ Church. The ladies put the palms to soak Thursday night and made crosses Friday and yesterday. “I'll see to it that the palms we don't make use of are burned next week,” sald Rev, Craine. “I hope we have estimated our needs correctly.” This summer, since my habits will undoubtedly change radically, I may have to visit Rev, Craine more often. Especially on stuffy, hot days. His office is air-conditioned and I'm sure he can provide a glass of ice water or even lemonade. I can bring the lemons,

“DO. YOU KNOW where the kitchen is?” somebody inquired. “Sure I do. It's downstairs somewhere. But I wouldn't go near the kitchen, If I did, the cook would laugh herself sick.” : Miss Greer, the wife of Producer Edward Lasker, is fortunate enough, she admitted, not to have to do any cooking. She's generally pretty busy making pictures such as “Down Among the Sheltering Palms,” which she had recently finished. “But what about that old saying about women preparing tasty dinners for their husbands?” I asked timidly. “I remember it well,” answered Miss Greer. “Something to the effect that ‘the way to a man’s heart is through a good cook . . .'"” eo o TODAY'S WORST CORN: Bobby Wayne hears that Taffy Tuttle is such a bad actress she couldn't even get her foot into a cast. > WISH I'D SAID THAT: A man realizes a woman is made of dynamite when he drops her— Lester Lanin,

Under another set of #rcumstances he would be the perfect guy for the job. The Mexicans love him; they see nothing wrong in his shadowed escape from scandal. Latins figure a man foolish if he does not use politics to make a pile—and ultra silly if he doesn’t flee the borders when the flames begin to lick at his shoes. a But if you have any sense of political morality you cannot compute the awarding of an ambassadorship on the same terms that crooks seek when they want to get out of town. An ambassadorship is neither a license to steal nor a sanctuary for a guy who is “hot,” in the eyes of law. and order. You do not cower behind a portfolio, in order to escape testimony before a grand jury in your old home town. We have made a hideout of an honor, and as a citizen I abhor the idea of confusing my country’s good name with a criminal-type expediency. Not that Bill must be a criminal, in any sense. It's just that the way they shunted him out of town, and the way he won't come back, makes him look as If he were hiding from the wrath of right. 1 think the least the administration can do is fire Bill O'Dwyer immediately, if only to convince us that they do not take us all for utter fools.

remembers being in Indianapolis once when he was a star football player at Washington and Lee University. In 1916, with the general in the midst of nearly every play, his team battled Indiana University to a 13-13 tle. He served with distinction through many of the rough campaigns of World War II as a brigadier general, His sister, Mrs. Frank W. Young, 1 W. 28th 8t., has been an Indianapolis resident 20 years. Of the 10,000 men who were called to active duty from the division's two home states of Alabama and Mississippi, only about 4000 remain. The chances are greater that you'll hear a choice bit of Brooklynese coming out from under the Confederate hat than that you'll be treated to a drawl.
