Show wn'MiEfi BEVERLY HILLS Well all 1 know is just what 1 read in th papers or who I talk to, or rather 1 who I listen to I am terribl gabby but whei I get around somebody that I want to really get some information infor-mation out of, why I do by a great effort shut up. Here a few weeks ago, had all the Senators that were out here on all these highway robberies, these pyramiding of stock sales to the public, when the stock wasent worth as much as buggy whip. All over the Country Senate committees were finding out the same thing. They could stop in any town and unearth a financial scandal. And thats one of the things that is causing caus-ing all the uneasiness in this Country. Coun-try. Its that the old middle class fellow knows there is something wrong when every financial big wig Investigated has been found to have sold stock with no value behind it. But that is not what I started in to say, it was that these Senators were out to my igloo, and I met em as old friends and we had I think a pleasant pleas-ant time. You know there is really nothing more likable than a Senator when you really know him. We like to kid about him about like a Mother-in-law but I tell you had there been no Mother-in-law, we would have no wife, and no Senator, no Government. Govern-ment. Well then a few days, later out to spend the day with me come Senator Bob LaFolette of Wisconsin, Wiscon-sin, of the Wisconsin LaFolettes. Did you ever meet young Bob LaFolette? La-Folette? Well you have missed something. some-thing. He is bright, he is fair, he is just. He dont exactly agree with all that is going on on either side but he is not the condemning kind. He can disagree and still give the other fellow credit. Thats a rare trait in politics. During an hour of conversation conver-sation I never heard him utter a word in condemnation of a single man (and I asked him about every prominent one I could think of). I like to get one mans slant on another an-other one. Bob might offer some slight criticism of a mans policies but he always said they were arrived ar-rived at honestly and that personally personal-ly he liked em. Its hard to follow in a noted fathers footsteps (especially (especial-ly when that father was 20 years ahead of his time) but this boy has done it. You watch this kids smoke. Its blowing in the right direction. Well then again after the Senators Sen-ators I had a mighty interesting visitor. It was the Crown Prince of Germanys son, a grandson of the Kaiser. He is the one that has been over here for a couple of years working work-ing in Henry Fords factory. His name is Ferdinand, I suppose they call him Prince Ferdinand, but you better not do it to his face. He is a mighty likable young fellow, about 26 years old, the second son, but the oldest one married outside the thor- oughbred pasture and now he is In the dog house as far as any succession succes-sion is concerned, so this may be the boy that will succeed Hitler. But whats going to happen to Hitler? But this young fellow, you would like him. He is very plain and unassuming. un-assuming. He tells some interesting things about his early life In Germany. Ger-many. He was about eleven when it finished, goes every birthday to see his grandfather (as they all do) the Kaiser, says the old fellow Is very chipper, loves jokes, Is not soured on the world, and take things very philosophicaly. He speaks perfect per-fect English, (as far as I could judge) said his family spoke more English at home than German. He speaks French, Italian, Russian, and Spanish also. Says his older brother that married out of the pink is kinder high hat, but that the others are great. Says his Dad loved horses, riding and polo, and he wished he could bring him out to my place. Can you imagine a fellow thats been used to those be eg strong German horses, looking over a bunch of these little Pestle tails of mine? He would says, nice colts, where is is their mothers? This boy had just been home and talked tn Hitler. He sure like It over here, is on his way to Mexico City. I told him he would sure like It down there. Thats the greatest place In the world. He thinks Henry Ford Is a mighty fine man. We agreed on that too. I asked him what he thought of U3 recognizing Russia, he said Germany Ger-many recognized em first. Fate Is a funny thing, aint it. Fellow Fel-low educated to be ruler of a great Country, then wind up working for Henry Ford. But he Is certainly not crying the blues. He Is the most cheerful, care free young fellow you ever met. Then here we all are bellowing bel-lowing because wo have lost some mnr-y and dont get as much salary. |
