CHARMING BLONDE WITH ALLURE
Brigitte Needed a Count
Her Count Will Be of Bars
By KARL HEINZ SCHWAB
Berlin', lept. IS Brigitte was a charming girl, with plenty
f allure.
Richard, a wealthy business man, found her so fascinating he
wanted to marry her right away.
But Brigitte sadly shook her bright blonde head.
"You know yourself what I
feel for you, dear," she said,
"but ... it Just can't be."
Pressed for the explanation
why It couldn't be, Brigitte at
last confided that she had been
born a princess. Her mother la
ter had married a simple com
moner. But, before she died, she
had made Brigitte promise that
she would marry at least a count,
or never wed at all.
Richard was amazed, downcast
and confused. His Brigitte a
princess! But how could he ever
become a count?
But Brigitte finally thought of
a w.ny to solve the problem.
Her uncle, a Count Wilhelm,
might adopt Richard, she said.
Thus formally adopted, Richard
would be a count, too, and noth
ing would be In the way of their
marriage.
Richard was Introduced to the
dignified Count Wilhelm and the
deal was made. He gave Wil
helm lnoo east marks (about
$S0) "to cover the expenses."
The reunion of Brigitte, Count
Wilhelm and Richard took place
before a Soviet sector court. But
the count, It turned out, was
really Emll Kratise and "Prin
cess" Brigitte his legal wife,
whose real name was Emma.
Richard was shocked all over
again, and so were seven other
gentlemen, among them a law
yer, a doctor, an actor, a news
paperman and an engineer all
of them would-be counts.
The tngnlnus enuple. It was
charged, had netted more than
T000 vast marks (about 15.10) at
least from trie various count
deals. The court was Informed
there were ether rletlms who
apparently had kept quiet.
"Count" sVnll Xrauee was sent
to a Berlin prison for three years.
And there will be nobody to
court Brigitte while she serves a
one year sentence.
Success Is Curse
Of American Author
Marlboro, Vt. I.B Success Is
the curse of the American au
thor, according to Charles ("The
Lost Weekend") Jackson.
"The worst thing that ever
happcrsrd to me was the success
of "The Lost Weekend," Jack
son told a fiction writprs' con
ference at Marlboro college.
"The writer knows his own
worth, and to be over-evaluated
can confuse and destroy him as
an artist. What happens is that
the writer becomes a celebrity
rather than a continuing artist."
The trouble with the literary
market, Jackson said. Is that the
writer must make each new nov
el a bigger popular and finan
cial success than his last.
The writer must not be forced
to "top his last book." Jackson
said. He must be let alone simp
ly to write his next book.
Success Is much harder to take
than failure, he believes. It was
success, he said, that destroyed
such writers as T. Scott Fitz
gerald, Ross Lockrldge and "de
spite his personal Integrity,'
Thomas Heggen, author of "Mr
Roberts."

Postal Pay Bill
Washington, Sept. 2 i
Th House Tuesday voted pay
raises of about $180,000,000 a
year for an estimated 600,000
postal employes.
Passage was by overwhelming
vote.
In preliminary debate, there
were scattered demands for In
creases in postal rates to help
offset an estimated $700,000,000
postal deficit.
The President, through his
budget bureau, had opposed the
legislation. The senate has not
yet acted on it.
The civil service commission
had opposed th bill on grounds
it discriminated in favor of post
al employes by comparison with
other government workers.
The post office department
also opposed it.
In addition to raising the pay
of all field service employes, in
cluding postmasters, the bill
gives postal employes 20 days
annual leave Instead of the 1.1
they now have. It provides
$100 a year allowance for em
ployes required to wear unl
forms.
