Red Skelton Admits He Doesn't
Smoke, Drink, Go to Nighteries
By BOB THOMAS
Hollywood, Jan. 24 Iff) Memo to the editor:
Hey, look, I know it's news when a star gets caught smoking
marijuana or battling in a barroom.
But is it news when Red Skelton admits that he doesn't smoke,
drink, gamble or frequent night clubs?
The information came out
when I asked-Red If he attend
ed night clubs.
"Nope, never do," answered
the comic. "Except when I'm
playing benefits in those
places."
"Why not?"
"First of ail, because I resent
paying $35 or $40 for a glass of
ginger ale and an Inferior sand
wich. Second, if you start hang
ing out in night clubs, the pub
licity makes it seem like you're
an awful drunk. I don't think
that's good for a performer, par
ticularly in the small towns. I
care a lot what those people
think of me."
Not only that, but Red has
had only three luncheons at
Romanoff's during his 12 years
here. He used to go to the Brown
Derby after his radio show, but
he doesn't even do that now.
He can sometimes be seen at a
Vine street hot dog stand,
munching a weincr.
Skelton added that he seldom
attends Hollywood parties,
doesn't smoke (although he
thews an unlighted cigar), gam
ble or drink.
He admitted that he did some
guzzling during the war. "But
one day after I got back, I was
called to substitute for a radio
star who couldn't make his
broadcast," he recalled. "I sud
denly realized what would hap
pen if I couldn't make it to my
show some day." So Red hop
ped on the wagon and has been
there ever since.
"I don't care what people
say," he declared, "a man is
not at his best when he has been
drinking. And in my racket
you have to be on your toes
every minute."
What on earth, you might ask,
does the man do for recreation?
Well, he has laughs with pals
like Gene Fowler. He paints and
films home movies. And he
writes.
'I figure If I can set some
thing down on paper maybe
only a few lines that people
will remember for years to come,
then I will have accomplished
something worthwhile."
This Is Really Confusing
It's Liable to Get Your Goat
Marietta, O., Jan. 24 VP) If the old twister on "How old is
Anne?" ever got your goat, bear with us a moment on this one:
Seven pure-white Saanen kids were born within an hour's time
last week at Gerglihof, the farm home of Marietta college phil-
isoDhv professor Fritz Marti. -
Arrival of the new kids wasn't
extraordinary but their par
entage was enough to confuse
even the most expert of those
fellows who chase down your
family tree.
Gsteigerl, a female goat nam
ed after a Swiss village near
Prof. Marti's native home, gave
birth to triplets. A few minutes
later, Gstaaderi, named after
another Swiss village, mothered
twins. Two other mothers, un
named, bore one kid each.
The father of tile triplets, An
don by name, was also the sire
of the twins.
That wasn't confusing to the
Martis, who keep pretty close
track of their goats. But the
rest of the story was:
It seems Gsteigeri, the trip
let's mother, was also the moth
er of Gstaaderi, the mother of
twins. And Gstaaderi happened
to bo the mother of Andon, who,
remember, fathered both the
triplets and the twins.

Bainbridge Colby
Secretary of State to Wilson
Blames FDR, Red Recognition
By EDWARD V. ROBERTS
Washington, Jan. 24 u. Bainbridge Colby, oldest living for
mer secretary of state, believes the late President Roosevelt
made one of the most serious mistakes of history in recognizing
Russia.
"All our subsequent troubles," he said, "stem from that mis
guided action on the part of Mr.
the communists' imprisonment
and trial of Angus Ward, consul
general at Mukden, Manchuria.
Roosevelt."
The 81-year-old onetime di
plomat, who served as secretary
of state for one year under Pres
ident Wilson, included the pres
ent crisis in Asia among the
"subsequent troubles" resulting
from Soviet recognition.
Colby favored a strong U. S.
stand against the maltreatment
of Americans abroad, such as
As a guide, he cited the words
of William Learned Marcy,
who served as secretary of state
from 1853 through 1857:
"I deem it my duty to make
the United States respectable
and respected throughout the
world."
Colby recalled that Russia's
first bid for U. S. recognition
was rejected during his tenure
as secretary of state.
Moscow sent a representative
to the United States in 1919 to
seek recognition but its request
was Ignored for more than a
year. When the major European
powers asked this country for
its views on the subject, Colby
stated them in full in a note
handed the Italian ambassador
here on Aug 10, 1920.
His views, which closely par
allel those held by many Amer
ican leaders today, were that:
"It is not possible for the gov
ernment of the. United States to
recognize the present rulers of
Russia as a government with
which the relations common to
friendly governments can
be maintained."
His note said the red regime
"has for H openly avowed aim
I l.k...U
tne promotion ei hviwwvwi 7
olutioni throughout the world,"
.alH based "uoon the nega
tion of every principle of honor
and good faith . . . underlying
the whole structure ol interna
tional law. -

Now, snys Prof. Marti, who
brought nine goats to Marietta
in 1946, that would make An
don, the grandson of Gsteigeri,
the grandfather of Gstaadcri's
kids. Instead, he's their father.
It would make htm the husband
of his grandmother and the fa
ther of his mother, if you're
still with us.
Gsteigeri's kids, theoretical
