TODAY'S BUSINESS MIRROR
COUNTING ON PEOPLE'S HOSPITALITY
) i Casket Salesman Has Four
Governors to Go to Win Bet
Columbia, S.C., Nov. 1 (U.R) A little California casket salesman
who bet his boss he could hitchhike around the country without
a dime, got Gov. J. Strom Thurmond's autograph here today and
hit the road for Atlanta, Ga.
Paul Clark had only four governors to go to win his $4,800 bet,
he said, but he didn't want to
try it again for a million dol
lars.
The graying, SO - year - old
hitchhiker was 20 pounds lighter
than when he left Sacramento,
Cal., last April 9, but he was
sure that southern hospitality
would feed him through the last
legs of his national tour of gov
ernor's mansions.

tvSxe 't s a native of Columbus,
O., who migrated to California
after the war.
Last spring he bet his em
ployer, casket manufacturer
Gerald McPherson of Sacra
mento, that he could collect
every governor's signature in the
country.
The terms of the bet allowed
$100 for each signature, and
Clark had a year to complete
his trek.
One stipulation of the bet was
that Clark had to exist wholly
on the hospitality of the people
' ilong the way. It took him six
Hays and about 10 pounds just
to get out oi i;amornia, ne saia,
but after that he found he could
rely on salesmen and others who
picked him up along the high
way. A lot of them kicked in
a dollar or two when they heard
jj about the bet to help him over
the rough spots.
"It's cost me about $212 in do
nations to get this far," he said
"Most of that was on the other
side of the Ohio river. And once
I got into the real south, south
ern hospitality took over. Be
lieve me, it's a long way from
dead."
"The worst of the trip was in
the west," he said. "Nobody
wanted to help out there. They
told me it was just another crazy
California publicity stunt. Ev
erybody thinks if you come from
that state you must be a little
nuts, anyhow."
Clark has had the least trouble
of all with the governors, who
all were ready to come through
with their signatures, he said.
Ke was sure the chief execu
tives of Georgia, Alabama, Mis
sissippi and Florida would co
operate, too.

Hoffman tells Europe to lower
