Sitting at lunch with the Bein- stocks, I could tell they wanted to veer away from the subject of his clients, to their favorite topic, their daughter and son-in-law. “Without any help from me he has sold a first novel which he knocked out evenings in Cincinnati. My daughter helped edit it, but my son-in-law wouldn’t let me handle it for him. He said he wanted this first novel to be com- pletely his own project.” Selig Seligman, the son-in-law not only sold his novel but got a whopping big advance from pub- lishers William Sloane. The story would not be so un- usual if Seligman were a strug- gling young writer. He is not. He is a busy executive of a motion picture theater company, has been a Washington lawyer, cour selled at the Nuernberg trials and leads a busy life as father of three young children, the latest of which is new born. His new book ‘Honey On The Hill” meaning Capitol Hill in Wash- ington will be out in the spring. PRIZES: Since the last prize award went to Miss Edith McCarthy for the SCOOP OF THE WEEK viewing of Crown Princess Marths of Nor- way and Mrs. J. W. Lakso for the Earl Godwin interview, this column has awarded no prizes. Though many readers have turned in good feature story ideas, none of them have had that immediacy or sig- nificance that we classify as “news.” The following prizes are therefore available for readers who turn in a hot tip leading to a news break or to an interview with a personality.

This in- cludes a permanent wave by Mar- tin, a facial and a manicure, deacons, of dark men and white, of specialists, advisors, missionar- ies, plain church-goers and women who teach Sunday school at home. There were Episcopalians and Lutherans in stiff clerical collars, Eastern orthodox priests in flowing robes, Baptists in red neckties -- men and women of many customs of worship--clasping hands in their belief in a divine Christ. This was the first meeting of the 600 official delegates, and about 1,500 other church leaders, since their 29 denominations in 1950 joined in an unprecedented project of working together. With preliminary conference al- ready under way, various speakers called for a reawakening of church effort, if the moral foundations of society are to-be preserved. Dr. Conrad Hoyer, executive sec- retary of the division of American missions of the national Lutheran church, reported to the council’s division of home missions that the nation is spotted with ‘‘overwhelm- | ing communities”--flooded with de- | fense workers. Listing defense projects at North Richland, Wash.; Oak Ridge, Tenn.; the Savannah River H - i ia; at Padu- jeah, Ky.; in the Scioto Valley, |Ohio, he said: ae | The thousands that have moved | jinto these areas “are in danger of | }losing their hold on the gospel un- | less they are called and reached and served by the outstretched hand of the church.”” SALES and INSTALLATIONS Miami Awning Windows Clearview Louver Windows By GEORGE W. ROONEY, USN Years of hard labor for yourself and your family, tired and aching muscles day after day to sustain a meager existence, and it’s all blown away in a matter of minutes. Yes; this is what happened to the population of Cienfuegos, Cuba, a city about three hundred miles east of Havana. Things looked pretty dark to these people after undergoing a hurricane in Novem- ber. But thanks to the San Carlos Institute of Key West and the offi- cers and men of the submarine rescue vessel Petrel, they have rea- son to-smile again. Approximately 9000 pounds of clothing have been donated by the people of Key West for these poor unfortunates. Julio Cabanas, the president of San Carlos Insittute "| One says the problems of work- ® industry—a challenge we cannot MEN FROM SAN CARLOS INSTITUTE and Navy man cooper- ate in loading the relief supplies for Cuban hurricane victims on the USS Petrel for transportation to Cuba, RELIEF MISSION TO CUBA IS WORK OF MANY HANDS for a long time to come by many needy families. Lieutenant Com- mander Micael Fedzyshyn, and Lieutenant William E. Render, the Captain and executive officer res- pectively of the ship will handle the operation from Key West to Havana when the Cuban Army and the committeemen take over. Lie Says There’s Scant Peace Hope OSLO, Norway, —United Na- tions Secretary General Trygve Lie declared in a recorded inter- view with the Norwegian State Broadcasting System Sunday night that th + is little hope fc peace and Captain H. Payson, Jr., USN, Chief of Staff to Rear Admiral Irving T. Duke, USN, Commander U. S. Naval Base, Key West, have arranged for transportation of the clothing. The Petrel will deliver the clothes to Havana where they will be picked up by the Cuban Army to be delivered to the survivors of the stricken area. The Army will be accompanied by three com- mitteemen of the San Carlos In- stitute, Julio Cabanas, President, Juan Lopez, Vice president, and Benny Fernandez, Director. The primary mission of the Pet- rel is salvage and rescue, and al- though this is a bit off the beaten track this errand fits in very well with the foremost duty of the vessel. The Petrel has been operating in the Key West area since May of 1949. Before coming to Key West, she operated out of New London, Conn. Following her commission- ing on Sept. 24, 1946, she was as- signed as the submarine rescue vessel for Submarine Squadron Two, based at New London. In this capacity, she has successfully completed many submarine search, rescue and salvage exercises along the Atlantic seaboard in addition to providing many colla- teral services to the Atlantic Fleet Submarine Force; such as, fur- nishing tender facilities to sub- marines on advance duty, acting as a surface target and frequent use as a torpedo recovery ship. Many collateral duties have come up since the commissioning date of the Petrel never before, how- ever, has an operation quite like |this been bestowed upon this ship. Operation “‘Clothes-Life” is indeed a feather in the Petrel’s cap and a mission that will be remembered Remote Islands Now Have Talkies BERNERA, Outer Hebrides, Scotland “#—Talking pictures fi- jnally have come to stay on this \tiny, lonely island northwest of the Scottish mainland.

They hav never been in such an isolated po- sition. We must only hope that world opinion will be able to in- fluence the coming decision about an armistice in Korea.” Industry Leaders’ Theories By SAM DAWSON NEW YORK (#— Industry lead- jers differ widely on just how far | they should be expected to go in helping older people make the of- ten difficult adjustment to retire- ment. Pensions aren’t enough, mahy |believe. An increasing number of corporations are developing pro- grams—some starting five years before retirement age—to help old- jer workers get ready for the phange in incomes and daily hab- | its. | Is this industry’s responsibility? | The National Industrial Conference |Board quotes today the personnel | directors of two large corporations | |—both unnamed by the board— with opposing views. ers “in their declining years now constitute a challenge to American disregard, and with a solution that we must not place into the hands of government.” The other, however, points out that his company provides a pen- | sion, continued life insurance and visiting nurse service, but he adds: “T object to the implication that by Paying an individual fairly for | services rendered, ar industrial | concern acquires any greater re-| sponsibility to shield a citizen from the rigors of personal life than you personally assume responsi- bility to the corner grocer who has served you for years.” Looking into the pre-retirement programs of a few out of many Vary On Retirement Policy conference board reports on their differences as follows: Group discussion of coming re- |tirement problems is used by such jcompanies as Esso Standard Oil and Prudential Insurance. An em- |ploye club of Detroit Edison is trying out a short course in re- \tirement planning this year, with eight two-hour sessions a week apart. Fifty employes between 55 jand 65 attended, with 30 of their wives also enrolled. Individual counseling is the basis for most company programs, the conference board says. McCormick Co., a spice and extract firm of Baltimore, starts five years before retirement age with interviews in which the em- ploye learns of social security pro- visions and company benefit plans. In later years his personal plans and hobbies are discussed. General Electric also starts five years prior to retirement to dis- cuss with the worker his financial plans and hobbies. Allis-Chalmers offers personal counseling service to those getting ready for retirement. After retire- ment, the pensions are visited four or five times a year by company representatives and offered the same service. Lockheed Aircraft’s counseling service is headed by a man who has planned his own retirement to his satisfaction. Tapering-off features are added by some companies.
