Tve got to find a Western Union office," he explained. "I want to wire my fiancee." "What's the matter?" in traired Groucho. "Can't she stand by herself?" Groucho broke up a liter ary banquet by toasting a famous and cordially dis liked author as "one man who never let success go to his head.

That tends to handicap us In our relations with Russia ANOTHEit language incident: Congressman Porter of Ore gon was in Cuba as an ob server of the disturbances there. The dispatches report that he was in more or less constant contact with Fidel Castro, the leader of the Cu ban revolution. He shared press conferences with Castro.

He was invited to attend the trials of the Batista ad herents who face war criminal charges and see and hear at first hand what is going on, He did not attend.
