Barber Finds 'Honest Man
Gets Lost $15,000 Back
Oakland, Calif.-IUPD-A bar
ber who left $15,467 in a New
York hotel room said Tuesday
he had found what Diogenes
was unable to find in a life
time of searching-"an honest
man."
But the fact is Maxim Ra
din, 80, found two honest men,
and two honest children.
Radin sold his home in Oak
land some time ago and took
a train to New York, where
he arrived Aug. 21. He check
ed into the Hotel Ashley just
off Times Square, carrying
two battered suitcases and an
old linen valise.
Radin told hotel employes
he was returning to his native
Yugoslavia "to die." He was
to sail aboard the Italian liner
Vulcania for Trieste, but the
ship sailed without him Aug.
23 and he was no longer seen
around the hotel.
Room Rented Again
Hotel employees put the
two suitcases in storage, hop
ing nothing had happened to
the kindly old man. Monday,
Radin's room was rented to
Mr. and Mrs. James H. La
badie, vacationing in New
York from Winnetka, 111.
The Labadie's two children
were playing in the room
later when they found the
linen valise under the bed.
They turned it over to their
father, who called in another
honest man, hotel manager
Michael Funk.
Funk opened the valise for
one of the surprises of his
life. In it were Radin's un
used ticket, his passport, and
cashier's checks totalling $11,
067, thirty-three $20 gold
pieces, and $3,800 in folding
money.

The valuables were turned
over to police, who told news
men the strange story. Hours
later, after Radin's disappear
ance was carried on news
wires across the country, the
retired barber was found in
an Oakland rooming house.
Radin said he went for a
walk in New York and be
came tired and confused and
could not find the Hotel Ash
ley nor recall its name. He
said a policeman tried to help
him, but it was no use.
Growing discouraged, Ra
din used some cash he car
ried in a money belt to fly
back to Oakland last Tuesday
night.
When newsmen told Radin
his money had been found
and wouk be returned to him,
the old man exclaimed:
"Who's that Greek philos
opher Diogenes? There's an
honest man in New York!
Radin said he would return
to New York next month to

Democrats Urged
To Emphasize
Name of Party
Washington - (UPD - Advice
has gone out to Democratic
leaders to keep emphasizing
the name of their party in
this year's campaign on
grounds it projects a more
popular image than the name
"Republican."
"The Democratic party is
much more popular than the
GOP," a memorandum to par
ty officials said. "Hence the
word 'Democrat' enhances a
candidate's popularity, while
the word 'Republican' has the
reverse effect."
The memo said "the effects
of such words have been dem
onstrated in communications
experiments."
George Belknap, polling di
rector for the Democratic Na
tional committee, sent the
memo to committee members
and other party functionaries.
Belknap's document said
"an overlooked fact" about
the Aug. 17 Gallup Poll which
gave Vice President Richard
M.' Nixon a 50 to 44 per cent
edge over Democratic presi
dential nominee John F. Ken
nedy "was the omission of
the words 'Democratic' and
"Republican' from the ques
tions." The memo maintained that
Nixon's percentage was inflat
ed bcause the word "Repub
lican" was not attached to his
name and Kennedy was not
identified as a Democrat.
Dismissing this titular ne
glect as "not very important,"
Belknap said "it may even
help prevent overconfidence
on our part."
"However, it does remind
us of the positive effect of
the use of the words 'Demo
crat' and 'Democratic' both
in polls and in campaigning,"
he said.

Attractiveness of This
Sea Turtle Is Leading
To Its Extinction
Unmarked, unknown and
almost unnoticed, the next to
the last, long wave crest is
already built up and racing
toward some fatal shore; on
its crest ride the pitifully few
survivors of the handsomest,
as well as the very smallest
of all sea turtles - the little
Hawksbill.

Small Worlds
Around Us
By Lynn M. Watkins
This diminutive sea turtle
pays a severe price for pos
sessing the most beautiful
shell of all the turtle clan.
The Hawksbill is the one we
so often see mounted, and
hung on a wall. Because its
gorgeous shell is adaptable to
bending, shaping and fashion
ing, it is used in the manufac
ture of a wide assortment of
hair combs and numerous or
naments. Because of the beauty of
this material, it lends itself
well to jewel boxes, napkin
holders and fancy hair orna
ments as well as many other
objects for which people will
pay money.
13 Plates
The shell of the Hawksbill
turtle is composed of 13 plates
of various sizes; these plates
overlap like the shingles on
a roof, or like the scales of
a fish. Each plate is highly
colored, with various shades
of brown and tan, with deli
cate black markings. It has
a peculiar smoky appearance
and the lustre and polish of
fine old pottery.
Once removed from the tur
tle, the plates are subjected
to heat which renders them
almost as flexible as heavy
rubber. While still warm from
immersion in hot water, the
plate can be molded, or shap
ed into any desired position;
when cooled it will hold the
assumed shape. It also can be

easily cut, trimmed or fash

was the frames for eye-glasses;
these were called tortoise
shell frames. One very popu
lar use was in the manufac
ture of high - combs, which
held up the lace mantilla of
Spanish senoritas.
With the exception of one
or two times each year, the
female Hawksbill, remains al
ways in the sea. On her trips
ashore to lay her eggs, she
is at a terrible disadvantage.
She is clumsy and awkward
on land and very slow, sub
ject to many enemies, one of
the worst of which is man.
Now, too, there is added
danger, for no more are there
any lonely beaches; every
beach the turtle tries, to land
on is visited, or frequently
occupied by people who, hav
ing no respect for beauty, or
regard for the helpless, kill
the would-be mother, or miss
ing that gory opportunity, lat
er visit the beach and search
out and destroy her eggs.
The Hawksbill, smallest
and handsomest of all turtles,
grows fewer and fewer with
every passing year. A terrible
price it must pay just because
