On Tipping i (New York Times) | Recognition by the Federation of Railway Progress of the services of a Pullman porter to the traveling . public outside the range and realm of a tip brings to the fore the entire question of tipping—how much, ' when, should we ever tip, and the effect that tipping has upon the good public servant, the general public, and the economy of the country as a whole. | The European custom of asking for and getting 10 per cent of the bill for services rendered will no? | work on the occasion when the customer buys a cup | of coffee and one of the few 20-cent sandwiches now ter will look askance at a 3-cent tip, he might not smile for a nickel, and n this week, M. pic response for a dime is not always audible.

He is Undersec etary of the Ar- my William H. Draper. The form- er Dillon, Read banker, once a subordinate of Clay, is now his immediate superior. The reason ior their harmony is that Draper never crosses Clay. Draper still “yes, sirs” him. Al- though now second top man in the Army department, Draper’s whole attitude is still that of a subordi- nate of Clay. Their relationship is touchingly illustrated by the following: Clay’s office in Frankfort is a huge, baronial chamber in the one- time giant world headquarters of the notorious I. G. Farben cartel The vast room has black marble pillars and, although Clay visits the office only about once a2 week, it is banked with fresh-cut flowers every day. On an imperial-sized desk stands a large, shiny brass name plate reading “General Lu- cius D. Clay"—apparently to remind him who he is if he shoud forget. On a near-by small desk stands one photograph, the only one in the oifice. It is a picture of Dra- per with a very warm autograph to Clay. Five thousand miles away, in the Pentagon on the Potomac, is Dra- per's office. It is one-tenth the size of Clay's, and very simple. here is no name plate, but there is soft admission. “I'd like to be «pyt 1 want to tell you one thing.
