However, attached to the Amer- jcan Embassy is a Russian-American named Morris Zeltzer, who has the Yeputation of being able to do al- most anything. So Morris rushed out during the ballet to find the flowers. Knowing he could not buy them at that time of night, he went to the national botanical gardens, climbed over the wall, picked a large bouquet, wrapped it in a newspaper and rushed back to the opera house Hastily he wrapped it in a second piece of paper to hide the news- paper, and thrust it into the large hand of Wendell Willkie. DIRECT ACTIONIST Willkie was sitting in a box over- looking the stage. As the curtain dropped and the leading lady came out to take her bow, it was Willkie's cue. Most people would have sent the flowers up by an usher with a card. But not Willkie. He believes in doing things himself B0 with more grace than one could expect from his huge bulk, he swung himself out over the box rail, onto | the stage. Striding up to the startled | ballerina, he grasped one hand, put | the flowers in the other hand. Then impuisively he kissed her. The leading lady, surprised, pulled | away, stood there a moment not| knowing what to do. And Willkie had almost clambered back into his box before she recovered. Then she | began pirouetting and ‘throwing kisses in his direction in a climax which brought down the house The story of the incident spread | all over Russia and made a great hit. Stalin has a system of loud- speakers which give the news in aimost every little village in Rus- sia, so everywhere Willkie went, they krlew about his kiss for the | batierina. * But it never would have happened | { However, U.
