Edmunds said recommendations
submitted indicate that very
careful study has been made of
the problems involved and agreed
that recommendations appear to
be well-foupde-d. He stated, how
ever, that certain recommenda

points require legislative action
and will have far-reaching ef

Professional Blind Man Plays
The Game to the Very Finish
-By BILLY ROSE
Last night, in a mood for malt and malarkey, I stopped in to
chin with Sammy Fuchs, proprietor of the Bowery Follies and hon
orary mayor of that unwashed neck of the Manhattan Woods.
“What's new and gruesome ir. your baliwick?" I asked mine host.
“Nothing much," said Sammy, “except that Faker Kennedy died last
week and 'eft his eyes to a bartender down the block."
"Come again?” I said.
According to Sammy, the Faker was a professional blind man who

the Bowery for as long as he could
remember. In spite of his calling,
however, It was a standing joke

“The Faker made out as If he
was fumbling in his pockets, and
then suddenly made a grab for the
gun, yanked it away from the hood
and bopped him over the head with
it. Then, using the body as a sort
of shield, he pointed the gun at the
other punk.
“ 'Drop yer pistol,’ he said, 'or
I'll shoot the cigar outta yer mouth.’
“Well. It so happened Ihe thpg did
have a cigar In his mouth, and when
he heard the blind man's on-the
button reference to it he got pan
icky and dropped his gun. A dozen
guys jumped him, and a few min
utes later he and his pal were in
the precinct house.
"After that, of course, everybody
on the Bowery was sure the Faker
was a fake, but he never owned up.
'They got me all wrong.’ he once
told me. 'The stick-up guy was
smokin’ an Italian stogie and ya
can smell them things a block away.
And I guessed it was in his mouth
by the way he talked.'

Sammy went on, ffiaher Ken~

"Sounds like the old man wAs

“Nobody Is convinced, one way or
the other," said the Mayor of the
Bowery. “Maybe the eyes came out
of the Faker's head, and then again
maybe he picked them up in a hock
shop. You know, you never can

Sammy, "but h e

‘‘Down at Gar- Billy Rose

"FOR FINER CHRISTMAS GIFTS”
Nation's Forests
Being Exhausted
From the Secretary of the "In
terior came a a ire not recently
on how America is running j
through its priceless forest re- j
serves.
"We have made great progress
in saving our forests," said the
secretary’s anual report. "But we
still are using up our valuable
timber resources faster than we
are replacing them. At our pre
sent pace, the nation will have a
desperate shortage of saw timber
and pulp within a generation or
two.”
Here are the background facts
on a situation to which the sec
retary called the nation's atten
tion:
When the first settlers landed,
fully half of the nation was cov
ered by forest. There were 1,072,
000,000 acres of forests on 1,905,
000,000 acres of land. Now 042,
000,000 acres remain. And of
these, only 45,000,000 acres are
comparable to the originald for
ests.
