Stir the soup every half-hour or so." i ^By Worth Callahan Eugene Holman was a country | boy in Texas but you could hardjy i call him that now. He is chair man of the biggest oil company in the world. When I dropped in j to see him in his Radio City office, j he still looked like a country boy i though, and talked somewhat like i one. Only the massive mahogany ! desk, the uxurious rug and the real-leather chairs into which one sank way. way down didn't seem exactly like a rural atmosphere. Eugene said his company has Just had the best year in its hlstoi v. Everything is up. sales, dividends, profits?costs too. But he struck a sober note as he described the bright picture: the continuation of the labor-capital price spiral may ultimately lead to inflation. So he felt we should all view the future ' with sober refection. ! 3 ' There is a young Korean boy here named Tong 11 Han and j though only 14 years old. he has already won many prises in play ing the piano. He is a student of Rosina Lhevinne, who at one time | with her late husband, Josef, made 1 up America's most famous dual- j I ? piano team. Among his achieve . ments has been the winning of a scholarship to the Juillard School , of Music. At a recent party given , by Colonel Ben Limb, Korean Am i bassador to the United States. [ young Tong II Han taught his teacher something. It seems Mrs. ? Lhevinne was having trouble eating her Chinese food with chopsticks, so the Korean boy we.it over and ' expertly showed her how it was ' done. I You might not think there were ! farmers living in New York City, j but I can account for at least 2,000 1 who subscribe to a farm journal e which is published in an abandoned J Methodist Church over on the] West Side. In fact, the old-time j' publication has about 300.000 sub scribers from Maine to Maryland j | and westward to Pennsylvania.! | The journal is run by Bill O'Brien 1 ! and he really knows his dirt farm- ? | ing, for he owns a 300-acre farm s i upstate from here. The rural-look- ' ing editors receive hundreds of let- r ters a week on farm problems, and f sometimes there is a bug or piece r of fruit enclosed?for analysis and .C1 report. Yeah, this is Just a big " country town. 1 c Writing books is a bard job. a 0 lot of us have found, but Herbert Block, the cartoonist, wrote one and evidently lound the experience s even worse than he had heard ' ? "When you are doing a cartoon," * Herb Block remarked, "you chew j' your nails and stare out of the j1 window. When you are writing, you ' chew your nails, stare out of the:a window?and wonder whether you s should jump through it." ' Well girls, here it is Your s troubles aer over?or should be, 11 that is. I'm referring only to single a girls, please, and the mighty fact a that this is I^eap year. I have just . seen informed that in these Uni ted States there are today some six nillion unattached civilian males between the ages of 20 and 45. i A'he re are they? you ask. Well.

I ?honed a professor, found he was iot in. but a recorded voice said iver the phone, "You have exactly 10 seconds in which to leave a re-. orded message for so-and-so." 1 vas surprised but managed to blurt iut a message. 3 Gotham Gatherings: Mel Allen ays his definition of a hypochon Iriac is a man who go?s to the doc or so the doctor will tell him he's n perfect health so he can tell roubles are over?or should be. he doctor he's crazy . . . sign in a three-ring circus . . . sign in a tore, "Work is the curse of the (rinking class" and also.

Then who said those were the good old days? It was Grandpa who lived dangerously! Vacationers returning from Florida report that the most fabu lous estate they have seen in years is that of Mitchell Briee of Vidalia. Georgia. Set in a pretty landscape of some twenty acres, this elegant Southern mansion is picturesquely surrounded bv other ??w???? i aa ??? f buildings such as a recreation room flanked by a swimming pdol; an appetizing-looking indoor-otit door barbecue; an air-conditioned dancing pavilion cot uplete with organ and orchestra Instruments; a movie theater seating; a hundred persons; all climaxed by a large and splendid white-brick house containing really goijgeous Louis XIV furniture and p?>cd-ln beau tiful music?as well las a host in Mitch Brice whose geniality sets off just right the wtholc Colorful estate. ( Herbert Hoover k4idly sent me four '"eye-openers" he calls them, about our government. Wased on the recent study <?f th? Hoover Commission. These are; and we quote: "In 1951, the Arnfy shipped from California to Kew York. 807, 000 pounds of tomatoes. During the same period, the Navy shipped 775,000 pounds from the East Coast to California; a single reduction in the normal empfcoye-turnover of 25 to 50 per cent, annfially. would save the government $50 million annually; there are stAl 10.6 years' supply of WAG wotfl serge uni forms on hand, purclfttaed In World War 11. and 1(1) yAr's supply of Waves hats in Brdoklyn; billions' are spent in croatirife and handling some 25 billion pieces of govern ment paper each year. End to end. this paper would stretch from the earth to the oiocfh 13 times." Whenever T am reminded of Old New York. I think of my friends the Warrens. Jack and Marietta, they were, and now it is just Marietta and ihe lives in Texas. He was drama-music editor of the i old New York World and she a1 charming conceYt singer and they were all joyously mixed up with 1 Caruso and Victor Herbert ami Charles Frohman and Delmom ico's and such. But they found time to stroll in the park and meet Theodore Dreiser or Jose phine Hull. They also found time to be laughingly gay and to love life together in New York in a great, big wonderful way. As a friend. Zula McCauley said, 'They lived on the heights" of enjoy ment. as well as achieving those fine things for which they strove in life. Well, New York misses the Warrens?and sends its best regards to Marietta. There is a hoarse-voiced singer on the "Meet the Artist" radio show named Bill Haley who sounds as if he came from the Bronx, but actually hails from Michigan and now lives in Chester. Ha. He and his "Comets" as his orchestra members are called, are respon sible for much of the rock-and roll music craze - and some of it does sound crazy, as do the names. "Crazy. Man Crazy," "Shake, Rattle and Roll," "Keep That Candle Burning Bright, Mother" and "So You Later, Alligator" are just a few of the illuminating titles of the pieces. But there is something catchy about Haley's songs and his music style. Fact is, the teen-agers seem "crazy" about them. Gotham Gatherings: received a cute birth announcement from a lawyer friend that said: "In the matter of Kenneth Scott Grossman, notice of appearance.

Maine CAP)?Mrs. Frederick Nichols' house has been literally sold down the river. The 150-year-old Cape Cod style home was loaded on a barge and floated 10 miles down Union River to its ! new site at East Blue Hill. COP KILLED IN NEW CYPRUS RIOT THE BODY of a Turkish Cypriote policeman lies covered with the Turkish flag in Nicosia while the victim's father sits on the curb in background. The policeman was killed in new violence that has erupted on the Mediterranean island. Pro-Greek rebels attacked a police station in suburban Deftera wounding a British soldier. Other terrorists shot and seriously wounded Bernhard Shaw, British judge who sentenced several nationalists to the gallows. He was struck by bullets in the head and neck. (International Radiaphnto) TUSSIA'S DELTA 'STOVEPIPE' ONE OF THE SEVEN secret jet planes flown In the air show at Moscow for "U.S. Gen. Nathan F. Twining, Air Force Chief of Staff, was this n<hv semi-delta wing experimental jet plane. Three different delta ringed fighters shot past the reviewing stand at a speed estimated fct about 680 miles an hour. (International Radiophoto) HCTREIff PROBLEmS Young Father's Problem Bv GARRY CLEVELAND MYERS, Ph.D. WITH the large number of young fathers In the armed forces and the number of technical workers whose Jobs take them away from home, a serious prob lem may arise between the father and his young child. When the father comes home for a brief furlough or returns permanently, he assumes that his child will show him the affection he has long deamed of. But the youngster may never have seen him before. He may not know his father who had left home when he was only two or even younger. Even if this child is four, six or older, he may not immediately respond to his father with the expected warmth of heart. Great Attachment However intelligent the father may be, he is inclined to assume that, of course, bis baby will show great attachment and deep affec tion to him. When tlje child seems cold and distant, the father is deeply hurt and disappointed. Sometimes the father will im agine it is the mother's fault and that she should force the child to warm up to him. In desperation, the father himself may proceed to force the child to play with him, talk to him or caress him. In the meanwhile the mother, who understands the whole situ ation better, may be suffering indescribably. If only the father could Im agine himself in the child's place and realize why the youngster feels and acts as he does. Then the father would see that It will take a lot of time to win bis child's coveted affection. If because of loneliness or crowded living quarters, the youngster has been sleeping with his mother, imagine what a trial It will be for him when he sud denly must sleep alone. Of course, at almost any sacrifice, the wise young mother will haye trained her baby to sleep alone for some while before Daddy returns. Daddy's Visit Also, when the child is old enough to understand, she should talk about Daddy's coming on a visit or for good. She should show him photographs of Daddy, read to him from Daddy's letters, have him dictate, print, write or make some marks of his own in letters to Daddy. If he's old enough to remember his father, she should often talk of things he and Daddy used to do, of the fun they used to have together and of the fun they are going to have.
