Excessive Charity MIAMI, Fia. (API ? During the campaign to raise funds to fight cerebral palsy, a woman suffering from stomach cancer pledged $2,800 and explained it was money she'd saved to retire the mort gage on her home. "We didn't accept it," said Lee Ruwitch, campaign chairman, and added "we turned down a number of other pledges, too, because we felt the people couldn't really spare the money." Death Penalty CHARLOTTE, N. C. <AP) ? Judge W. A. Leland McKeithen ad journed court and ordered an in vestigation of cackles coming from an air vent. A hen escaped from a coop of chickens in the county jail kitchens atop the courthouse. When court resumed the judge called for a report. "The death penalty, your hon or," replied Jailer A. J. Brewer, "the hen will he served to the I prisoners Sunday. ||B^NORTHj2AI^HAN| I ' ? Preceding the opening of the Damon Kunyon television show, we were invited in to a big shindig at Toots Shor's. Even though it did not begin until 10:30 p.m., we stretched our custom a bit and went. A number of the folks at tending were dressed as Runyon characters, and one could see re ninders of Guys and Dolls as well is others which the late and cele brated writer created. The shebang occupied all of one of the big rooms at Toots and was supposed *o represent a night at Lindy's. Hospitality was rife, as were celeb 'tles, whatever those are. I chat ted with my old friend, Herbert "'avard Swope, one of the hosts billed as "Louie the Lug". Messrs. 4nheuser and Buseh-were "The Brain" and "Harry the Horse," re spectively. I shook hands with Gen* eral Lucius Clay, a genial gentle man, enjoyed talking to a candy manufacturer at our table, but felt slightly awry when, I congratulated Anne Jeffreys on her performance in "Roberta" and she rolled those big eyes in surprise and reminded me it was not that play, but "The Merry Widow" she had recently appeared in. 3 Apparently it was one of those weeks for such goings-on, for two nights later at the Roosevelt House ait Hunter College, we enjoyed meeting Regina Resnik, the opera singer. Bess Myerson, formerly "Miss America," and actor Walter Slezak. President George N. Shus ter greeted the group with fittine words, while Dean Ann Anthony, Mrs. Thomas Mabbott., Dr. Flor ence Brumbaugh. Professor Philip Curoe and Professor Edward Da vison added their friendliness. On <he wall was a striking painting of the late President Roosevelt's moth er. and I was glad to hear Edna Wells Luetz, head of the college art department who was exhibiting her own excellent paintings, say that the portrait was a fine one.. It was painted by my friend, the late ?nd lamented Douglas Chandor of Texas, and I remember being, in his studio here, years ago, when he was doing it. .Chatted too with an amiable Chinese girl, Yo Yee, whose parents arc now in Formosa. She said folks here are more excit ed about an invasion of the island than the Formosan-Chinese them selves. a I did not know the late Albert Einstein but know some one who did. He is Dr. Abraham Flexner, a classmate at Columbia, who arrang ed for Einstein to become connect ed with the Institute for Adanced Study at Princeton, New Jersey. In Europe years ago, Flexner asked Einstein to come to America and work. The great scientist aereed and asked that he be paid $3,000 a year Half-apologetically, he add ed. "Could I live on less?" Flexner told him he couldn't live on that: that ho and Mrs Einstein would ar range it. As finaRv fixed, the salary ? ~~ ' 1 * I RECKLESS WOMEN and VIOLENT MEN- Glenn Ford faeet Di anne Foster in Columbia Pictures' Cinemascope drama, "The Vio lent Men," starrinf Ford, Barbara Stanwyck and Edward G. Rob inson in color by Technicolor at the Strand Theatre Sunday, Mon day *and Tuesday. Warner Anderson listens in, above. MARRIAGE LICENSES Bobby G. Lanning and Mary An drews, both of Asheville. was $16,000 a year. 3 Secretary of the Interior Doug las McKay spoke at a meeting here an dsai dhe was tired hearing of the farmer spoken of as "the back bone of our nation," "the man who feeds the world" and "the basic in dividual of our economy" etc. Whether he meant it to be funny or not's not known, but the Secre tary himself referred to the farm er as "a man outstanding in his field". * Stopped in and talked with Dr. Randolph Ray who is celebrating his 32nd anniversary as pastor of the Little Church Around the Corner which is at 29th Street Just off 5th Avenue. Again he mention ed how the church got its name. In 1870, an actor named George Holland died and his widow asked Joseph Jefferson, the actor, to make the funeral arrangemnts. He in quired at a big New York church nearby, but since actors were not respected much in those days, he was refused. However, the pastor added, "There's a little church around the corner where they do that sort of thing." And ever since it has been known by that name, althoueh its real name is the Protestant Episcopal Church of the Transfiguration. In Dr. Rav's 32 vears there, he has married 50.000 I "ersons. and has turned down more because the church does not marry divorced persons. Yours, Truly! CONCORD, N. H. (AP) ? Gov. Lane Dwinell, at an Executive Council meeting, nominated Dr. Harry Savage for appointment as associate justype of the Lebanon municipal court to succeed Sey mour L. Dwinnell. Members of the council asked, I "Who's Seymour L. Dwinell?" The chief executive informed them he is now governor of New Hampshire. The governor, who was appoint ed to the court post in 1944 under his full name of Seymour Lane Dwinell, said he dropped the first name when he was elected to the House of Representatives in 1949. Bird Words Wm BENTON HARBOR, Mich. <AP) A 6-month-old parakeet talked radio station WHFB out of $50, a chrome cage and a year's supply of bird seed. The station management said it was surprised Its contest ended only a week after it began. But. Mrs. Martin Mak said it took her only two days to teach her bird Mickey to say "WHFB at 1060", the winning words. The sta tion operates in 1060 kilocycles. Although the eggs of snapping turtles are good food, they will not boil hard as hen's eggs do. Mechanical nge raus HOUSTON. Tex. (AP Clyde Treavy, an engineer for radio si i tion KXYZ, should have stajed in bed. He had to walk up 34 flights of stairs to work because the elevator wasn't working. He had to walk down. too. Then, his (far battery was dead. And when he did get the car started, it ran out of gas. In 1920 about a third of U.
