Interesting question:
How did we come to deliver
our ultimatum to Moscow to
get out of Cuba OR ELSE?
As related by Washington
dispatches, it is a thrillina
story. Here are some of its
highlights:
Try and Stop Me
By BENNETT CERF
A
Small Event - A Tragedy,
But Pert of Life in Woods
What had happened during
the night could plainly be
recreated by the mute evi
dence left on the litter of the
woodland floor.
Only a close scrutiny re-,
vealed the disturbance of the
leaves; a little pile of feathers,
closely scattered. They were
the color of the surroundings,
as brown as the dry leaves:
on some were tiny spots of
red, that once was blood. Here
In the litter of the leaf cover,
unseen by human eyes and
unrecorded in the history of
the wild; had been enacted a
tragedy. A little thing had
been killed; a larger animal
had feasted.

tance away was a small,
packed-down circle where a
covey of quail had bedded
down for the night. It seemed
evident the covey had slept
undisturbed for several hours,
as the imprint of their bodies
in the grass was unmistak
able. It must have been late in
the night or a short time be
fore dawn, when the hunting
fox had detected the faint
scent on the air. Carefully he
had stalked, stepping lightly
and delicately, so as to make
the least possible sound. He
may have taken considerable
time in his approach, know
ing well what game he was
stalking and about where he
would find them.
It must be a frightening ex
perience for a covey of quail,
to be sound asleep and sud
denly awakened by the rush
ing attack of a hungry fox.
The members of the covey,
not actually struck by the
furry projectile, explode in
several directions into the air,
in a mad senseless desire to
get away.
Not accustomed to flying
by night and impelled by
extreme fright, they crash
into trees or fall exhausted
to the ground where they at
tempt to hide and wait for the
mornine licht.
snex struggle
The one who was grabbed
by the crushing jaws, strug
gled for only a brief time;
the teeth of the predator are
..the struggle and the pain, ine
fox trotted but a short way;
Vie flattened himself onto the
'ground at the edge of the
woodland and greedily ate the
'quail.
There was an imprint in
'the leaves, an elongated space
where the grass had been de-
pressea Willie lie lcaMeu.
Already the grass blades
were beginning to right them
selves; a small brown feather
adhered to one. The leaves
with the bright ted stains
were mixed in with the
others, helping tell the story.
Soon a wind would come
"whispering through the for
est, one by one it would toy
with the feathers to eventual
ly blow them all away. Each
would become lost in the
forest litter. Also, within a
few days or weeks, it marie
little difference which, a rain
would fall upon the decom
posing leaves, washing away
the bright red stain.
But even before that hap
pens, somewhere the quail
covey will reassemble; some
where the fox is sleeping - in
death there is life - it must
be so.
IMAGINE a strip of photo
graphic film 20 to 30 feet
wide and some SIX MILES
long. The segments to form
this fantastic film strip are
brought back by our intelli
gence planes flying over
Cuba. They are put together
as they come in. They are dat
ed, so as to teil the story of
what is happening from day
to day.
The patched-together film is
then stretched across the
floor. Photo analysts, on their
hands and knees, crawl
around on the pictures, peer
ing at them through stereo
microscopes and specially de
signed magnifying glasses.
They note any changes in
terrain. Thev look for objects
on the missile sites that were
n't there the day before.
What thev saw from day to
day on these miles and miles
of film told unerringly the
story of what was happening
in Cuba.
The story, thus documented,
led to the ultimatum to GET
OUT.
BECAUSE he knew that we
knew what was going on,
and because he knew that the
information in our possession
was too accurate to be doubt
ed, Mr. Kroosh gave the order
to GET out.
That seems to be about the
size of it.
ANOTHER question:
Whv did Mr. Kroosh de
cide to GET OUT instead of
fighting?
COUPLE OF PROUD fathers were exchanging boasts
about their offspring on a hotel verandah in the Cat-
skills. "My two sons," averred one, "are the success stories
of our whole neighbor
hood. One is already a
famous lawyer with
clients who don't even
blink at a $10,000 fee.
The other one is the head
obstetrician at the county
hospital. What's more,
both of them shower my
wife and me with pres
ents and attentions day
in and day out." "Yah,
yah," jeered the other
lather, "All this sounds
great but tell me, what
do you do for aggravations?"
OVERHEARD:
At a downtown lunch counter: "My boss is so incompetent
this restaurant refused to serve him the business man's lunch."
Near M.I.T.: "My wife doesn't understand me. I'm a nuclear
phvsicist."
At the Authors' League: "Some novelist, that fellow! The best
fiction he ever wrote was his last year's income tax return!"
Off Broadway: "That man tosses money around like & boom
erang." From an essay by Douglas Newton: "The worldwide fraternity
of children is the greatest of savage tribes and the only one
which shows no signs of dying out."

ONE answer to that question
is suggested by a Moscow
dispatch which relates that
Russian factory managers and
economists have their doubts
as to the efficiency of the com
munist system of production
as compared with the free n
terprise system of production.
These Communist econo
mists and managers, Western
diplomats in Moscow assert,
have been calling for a NEW
system, stimulated BY THE
PROFIT MOTIVE. Such a sys
tem, the Communist mana
gers have been contending.
must be developed in Russia I
if enough goods are to be pro
duced to enable the Commun
ist world to hold up its end
against the free world!
FINAL question:
Can we believe any
this?
Or is it just propaganda de
signed to cause us to let down
in our efforts and thus weak
en ourselves to the point
where we will be vulnerable?
CRIME WITH COMFORT
London HW W hen four
burglars tied up night watch,
man James Jordan, 66, Mon
day night at his factory he
complained it was cold. They
carried him to a warmer
room, lay him on a mat and
gave him coffee and sand
wiches before escaping with
$580.
ITS hard to say.
Nobody knows what
Communist really thinks. But,
at any rate, Mr. Kroosh pulled
in his horns when we told him
flatly to get out or else! What
we saw in Cuba led us to the
ultimatum to GET OUT, and i
Mr. Kroosh seems to be get
ting out.
That's what decisive action
can do when it is backed by a
big stick behind the door,
ready to be used when needed.
