Show WALTER WINCH ELL Notes of a New Yorker News Item: "Congress to Adjourn for Vacation." Hmmm. Whoever heard of a vacation after a picnic? . . . The Soviets do not want to change our U. S. They just wanna add their S. R. . . . Most everyone has some ridiculous theory about those "flying saucers." Ackchelly, they are the mates to the famous Dish That Ran Away With the Spoon and became a fugitive from a chain - cafeteria charging tall prices. . . . Best line on the flying saucers, we think, was: "Anyone who tells you that he has seen flying saucers must have been in his : cups!" Frances Henderson wishes to interrupt inter-rupt the column to relay the one about the two Indians. . . . They were squat- ting on two different mountain tops holding a conversation by throwing up smoke signals. . . . Their repartee was halted by the first atomic bomb which, as you probably know, sent up a lotta smoke. . . .To which one Injun , flipped: "I wish I had said THAT!" Nearly every man's home is no longer his castle since congress made every landlord a king. . . . Here's a freak angle to the housing problem: Despite the desperate need for new homes, there are 25,000 unemployed building workers in New York City. . . . Churchill's manuscript (the initial installment) has been insured for a half-million $. . . . Mayor O'Dwyer's niece, Joan, may shelve taking her bar exams and try for the stage. She is with the troupers of the Clinton Playhouse in Connecticut, on the Straw-Kady circuit. Sounds in the Night: At the Riviera: "On Broadway, Planned Economy means sticking stick-ing the other guy with the tab." ... In the Cub: "An isolationist is a guy who didn't think we belonged be-longed in the last war but is , trying to get us into this one." ... At Lum Fong's: "I'd like to see her in something flowing. Like a stream!" |
