J , Holes of a Newspaperman: gtory of Song: Once upon a time (March, 1943) songwriter John-y John-y Burke dined at the home of Harry jjllis Crosby. . . , Gary, oldest son of Crosby, was spouting monosyllabic monosylla-bic thumb-noses at the principles of .American education. In sum, he bated school. . . . Burke waved a worldly finger. . . . "My boy," he said, "you should be glad you're going go-ing to school. How would you like to be a fish? A fish can't read or write or go to ball games. All be can do is swim around and when be gets tired of swimming one way, be turns around and swims the other. oth-er. If you like that sort of life, you might grow up to be a fish." . . . Mr. Burke was Impressed with his own philosophy. ... He hastened to bis partner, Jimmy Van Heusen, and repeated the dissertation on fish. . . . As a result, "Swingin' on a Star" was born and cast in "Going My Way," starring Bing. . . . Soon after the picture premiered the ditty made The Hit Parade and stayed on it for 20 straight weeks. ... It became a minor national anthem with kids who asked kin if they'd like to be a fish or a . mule. . . . Clergymen used the theme in sermons, and Joe E. Lewis parodied: "Would you like to bang on a bar, with a dame like Bedy Lamarr?" . . . Very soon a book on the theme will be published. They may make a film based on its story, too. . . . Anyway, that's what came of a kid saying he didn't like school and why J. Burke and J. Van Beusen pay surtaxes. Ambassador to Brazil A. A. Berle's wife Is known for her frankness. Recently at a dinner ' in Washington Mrs. Berle cornered cor-nered a Russian General and asked him a few pointed questions. ques-tions. The dialog went some-, thing like this his answers are in parentheses: "What is Russia's Rus-sia's present aim?" (to defeat the enemy). . . . "What are yon going to do with Germany?" (Conquer her). . . . "And with Poland?" (liberate her). . . . 41 And what will yon do when yon arrive at the Rhine?" (Take a swim). ' We have Just finished Noel Coward's Cow-ard's "Middle East Diary," and the following paragraph in it belongs lere, considering Coward's recent "jam" over his comment in the book about Brooklyn soldiers. . . . "At ten o'clock," he observes, "I went to call on General Eisenhower. He combats untiringly the little cracks and lampoons and Jokes spread by the British against the Americans and vice versa. I believe he even sacked an important member of his staff for making a minor contribution contribu-tion to this dangerous, ' subversive racket. One silly little man with one laborious Joke can cause an incredible incred-ible amount of damage." Frank Munn called the American Album of Familiar Music cast together to-gether and said: "I Just wanted to tell you a little story. Frank Humbert Hum-bert once approached me and offered of-fered a spot on this program. ... 1 asked, 'For how long do you want me?' "'Maybe 13 weeks,' he said, "maybe 13 years.' "I Just wanted to tell all of you that tonight is the anniversary of roy 13th year on the American Album Al-bum of Familiar Music."

"I ordered figs and cream," he Protested. "Well," she said, "there they are." "But," he persisted, "this is figs WJTH cream!" "So what?" she so-whatted. gnat's wrong with it?" "Madam," said the professor Icily, would you say a woman and child ere the same as a woman with child?" Newspapermen will tell you that orrections sometimes are worse ttan the original story. . . .
