so THIS NEW YOHK^I |By North Callahan | One day when I was in the Army &>n Governors Island here in World War II, my commanding officer, an Ragle-colonel, told me that we were gto have a visit from the famous ^photographer, Ivan Dimitri. Since Ithis aforesaid colonel had served mn Russian-Siberia in World War ill, he felt we should do something .nice in the way of entertainment |for Mr. Dimitri, apparently a good Russian of some note. This suited itne fine, for any entertainment I would certainly break up the mili tary monotony of which we had ftoo much. So on the day appoint ed, Mr. Dimitri arrived, a nice looking young man who offered us one of his pictures for an Army Recruiting poster. After the busi ness was over dhd the picture was ; accepted, the colonel proudly men tioned he had served in Russia, was especially glad to meet Mr- Dim? ftri, and now woilld like for him to be our guest at some real Russian refreshments. Ivan Dimitri looked ^embarrassed. He thanked the colo ,ael, couched a time or two, then said, "I'm sorry to disapooint you. Colonel, but I'm not a Russian. I use Dimitri in my business here In New York but my real name is Levon West, and I'm as American as you are!" 3 p Brooklyn just across the river is known mainlv as the home of the Dodders baseball team, but it is also said to have the most churches of any borough in the world. At one time, the slender steeples of these churches showed above fashionable brownstone residences in Brook lyn Heights, directly opposite ! Manhattan's Wall Street section. Now most of the ornate old houses have been torn down and their prominent families have passed away, n^v apartment houses taking their place. Still the churches stand and they are having a problem. So many Puerto Ricans are coming to New York by the plane and ship load on a dollar-down trio basis, that they are fining Brooklyn's churches?and community as well ?with foreign language and cus toms. Manhattan's Harlem has the same problem, and many folks here resent it. But as long as Puerto Ricans are considered American citizens and need no passport to enter this land of opportunity, the problem will probably continue. 3 Congressman Walter Rogers of Texas was in town and said he'd have to admit that New York is as big. in some wavs. as Texas. He was soeakine financially, looking at the fjtock Market etc. Somebody asked him what he would do if he had all the money in New York and Texas, and he renlled without flinching. "Whv I'd use it to pay my debts?as far as it would go." 3 Ed Warres and I visited a little shoo in the basement of the United Nations Headquarters which sells stuff from all over the world?and doesn't have to pay the city sales tax. This is because the UN is an enclave within this city?and coun try?and is thus international ter ritory. Here you can buy from courteous clerks earrings from Iran for 90 cents, necklaces from Scotland for a dollar, pnd "tfle baked in England, decorated in France and framed in the United States." for $2. Of course there are ! many other things, but what strikes one about the place is the fact that our world seems to have grown mighty small. 3 Gotham Gatherings: John C. Pemberton III, local lawyer whose grandfather was Confederate com mander at Vicksburg, reminds me that Voltaire believed so much in brevity he once wrote a friend saying. "Excuse this long letter, but I am in a hurry" . . , Sammy Kaye says silent movies were those be fore popcorn was invented . . . sign on a local cash-and carry dry cleaner, 'Tote and Fetch" ... on West 43d Street is an aquarium which offers for sale a "man-eating fish". Said fish is a four-inch piranha, pink and perfectly harm less-looking . . . was told \hat a tourist was "throwed out" of a local crematorium because he didn't know what the place was. stuck his head in and asked, "W'hat's cookin'?" ... A Broadway bird crazy-cracked, "I suffered from in somnia for years and finally went I to a psychiatrist, who cured me the first day. He just asked my wife to stop playing bagpipes in bed." i ? ? i FIRE TURNS SPIRE INTO FOUNTAIN WATER FROM A high-pressure hose hits the spire of the First Full Gospel Church in Baltimore and is deflected to make a spectacular fire-flghting scene. Three hundred persons in adjacent buildings were driven out by smoke Four firemen were injured fighting the six-alarm blaze, which occurred during a cold wave.
