So This Is New York b, NORTH CALLAHAN One of the ten commandments ; in the Gideor. Bible lying in a room 1 of a big midtown hotel said, "Thou | slkalt not steel," but evidentaly the ; occupant did not notice this. For j there between the pages of the good book was a crisp, neat $20 bill. The man just laughed. He had no qualms about taking the money. Maybe it was put there by some religious philanthropist. So sticking it in his pocket, he made his way downstairs, walked calmly to the desk and asked for two ten-dollars bills in exchange. This was done without question. The man went out and enjoyed a "free" dinner and show, then re turning to the hotel feeling quite content. Two FBI agents, however, waited on him at the desk They explauMd that he had passed a count $20 bill there. It re quireu^Hch showing of identifica tion, ex^anation of his own and embarrassed confesion before the man could show he was not a counterfeiter. The Bible, as usual, v.as right Reminiscent of the late election was an interesting display in Macy's window showing the favor ite sports of some of our presi dents. George Washington liked horseback riding; Jefferson, how ever, preferred his exercise on foot. Abe Lineoln liked to WTestle; Teddy Roosevelt enjoyed hunting and boxing; Harding indulged in golf: Hoover reveled in fishing: F D. Roosevelt was happy with yachting; Truman walks and fishes; and of course, Eisenhower likes 13 holes of you- know-what. Dropped into the ornate Park Bernet Galleries on upper Madison Avenue when an auction was going on. Picked up a folder in which a Complaint was expressed that it takes ten days to send a catalog byvmail from here to Wilmington; an announcement that some color ful and picturesque Currier and Ives prints which belong to Mrs. Jean Hersholt would soon be sold: that the estate of the late Serge Rubinstein would soon be auction ed off here; and that rare letters and manuscripts of Mark Twain would also be on the block. Then I went into the impressive auction room and watched people bid on the rare items which ranged from teaspoons to tapestries, f. was especially interested in a big Chippendale carved mahogany bon net-top block-front secretary-cabi net which belonged to Washing ton's great general and Secretary of War, Henry Knox. Of course it was only a whim to hope it, would be inexpensive. The cabinet sold for $S.500. At the annual meeting of the National Industrial Traffic League. T heard my friend. C. Norman Stabler, financial columnist of the New York Herald-Tribune, deliver an interesting speech in a voice handicapped by a bad cold. This did not stop him, however from turning the humorous heat on the growing trend of mergers in busi- ! ness. TTiere are about 100 such j mergers every month now. he stated. For this and other reasons Norman continued, executives now- , adays have to be able "to keep ten I balls in the air at the same time." ! (To say nothing of that one on the golf course.) I Gotham gatherings: if you think the button-slogan days are ? past. I just take a look at a midtown shop window which has for sale Elvis Presley buttons. One says. "I like Elvis." the other, "I hate Elvis."? Joe Smith wonders why anyone would want initials on his pajamas. "By evening." quoth Joe. "anyone ought to know who he is."?Query by an irate Bronx inhabitant '"Keep Our City Clean' is a won- ; derful slogan, but why has a dead eat been lying on the sidewalk between Lafayette Avenue and Tiffany Street for the past four weeks?" (Sorry we didn't know, lady, but perhaps lying is the natural position of a dead kitty)-? Stuart Foster comes from a small upstate New York town. He savs | it's not such a small place, but "still it's the kind of town where ! everybody knows whose check is good and whose wife isn't."

Artists Must Have Regular Job f By JANE EADS WASHINGTON ? Juiehi Kami kawa, young Japanese - American artist, has won considerable atten tion in the capital and has sold many of his paintings. Neverthe less he contends that artists in this country are still having a hard time. "They have to have an eight hour job?working or teaching ?? in order to survive," Juiehi told me over a cup of coffee in the new gathering place for art lovers ?a combination gallery and Ital ian-type cafe expresso shop?which he is now managing. "Artists who spend many years of study to gain a professional Status should be able to get pro fessional prices for their work, just as do members of other profes sions like doctors and lawyers." Juiehi at lone last has his own gallery. But. because of his long hours at the coffee shop?it is the only place in the capital that re mains open until 3 o'clock in the morning?he is onlv able to be there on late Saturdays and Sun days. The artist's parents, members of a well-known Hiroshima family. * came to the United States in 1890 I and settled in Fresno, Calif., where] Juichi was born, the youngest of seven children. For a year before the outbreak of World War II Jui chi, whose flair for painting was evidenced at an early age, attend ed Fresno State Taacbers College. Then, with his family and other Japanese, he was interned at an Arkansas reloction center. In 1344 he joined the famous Japanese American 442d infantry regiment, which fought with distinction ill the Italian campaign: After the war Juichi came here . to join a sister, Hiro. then work ing for the Department of the In- ? terior. and to Rot himself a job In receht years he has been able to Study at tlx? Corcoran school. His paintings are expressionistic with heads of saints acclaimed by critics as among the best. Juichi says he is equally interested in many other themes, horses, birds, fish, landscape, and still life. Stuck With Hobby STROUD. Okla .1 Al'i-~Mrs. 1). H.
