Try and Stop Me
-By BENNETT CERF-
A FRIEND OF Groucho Marx's once asked him to stop the
car. 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. He is unassuming,
unspoiled, as comfortable to
be with as an old shoe and
just about as interesting."
Advice to parents from
Berb Stein: When the sun is
shining, and there's a pleasant 1
breeze blowing, it's a crime to
let your children linger in the house watching TV. It's relatively
easy to make them stop. Just move the set outdoors!
Gypsy Rose Lee's summation of the career of a strip-tease artiste:
the more clobies she takes off, the more she can afford to put on.

that he had spent more time
in language study. In this
modern world-when distance
is being annihilated-that time
will come to MANY an Amer

a frill.
In these days, it is coming
to be a necessity.
ALL authorities agree that
Russians are going in for
English study in a big way.
It is probable that not one
American in 100 thousand has
even a rudimentary knowl
edge of the Russian language.

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

press conferences with Castro.
He was a guest the other
night at a party in Castro's
hotel suite.
. 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.
"Although I'm a lawyer,"
he explained to the corre

Spanish. So there would be
no point in my attending the
trials."
