Gina went in front of them all with Mario. He held her arm, and paid her an ostentatious amount of attention, and it seemed as nat- ural for her to adopt the star at- titude, and preen and pose before the news-photographers and re- Porters, as it is for a butterfly to spread its wings in the sun. Joe, Anthea and Gina followed, a quiet utilitarian group in the background. It was interesting to see Bianca, without any instruc- tions, drop discreetly behind, tak- ing over the part of the director’s devoted servant, and laying no claim at all to being the -star’s mother. Only one of the three masculine stars was traveling with them, Ivor Street, and he was already there, waiting to be photographed with Mario and Gina when they arrived, The other two, middle- aged and very famous actors, dis- liked flying, and had gone on ahead by boat and train A reporter or two came toward them. Joe, hurriedly dropping Anthea’s arm, headed them oif neatly before Gina could open her mouth, and Mario led her to- ward the plane.

If Mario talked one had to listen. With elo- quent gestures, in his unsteady yet brilliantly descriptive English, he began to tell the young man about the part he was going to olay.

Anthea was grateful | for Joe’s traveling experience and fluent French when they reached |the airport at Nice.

MOGULS SAIGH By JOE REICHLER NEW YORK ( -- Fred Saigh’s hands of two of the sport’s top officials Commissioner Ford Frick and National League Presi- dent Warren Giles. The owner of the St. Louis Card- inals, sentenced to 15 months in prison and fined $15,000 for in- come tax evasion, confers today with Frick and Giles regarding the sale of his Cardinal holdings. A few hours before the crucial conference, Saigh said: “I don't want to sell but I will not do anything that will embar- rass baseball.’”” Even before Saigh arrived in New York, several undisclosed offers were made for his stock, which amounts to practically 100 per cent, Bill Walsingham Jr., vice presi- dent of the Cardinals, said: “T definitely would be interested in purchasing the club if and when Mr. Saigh decided to dispose of his holdings.” Walsingham is a nephew of the late Sam Breadon, from whom Saigh and the late Bob Hannegan bought the Cards. Saigh, somewhat recovered from the jolt that may catapult him out of baseball, calmly discussed his sentence. “It was as if I were standing on a street corner and was hit by a truck,” he began. “I don’t mind saying that I am mortally sick over what has happened. But I repeat as I have said all along— there never was any intent of fraud on my part.

And whether guilty or not I should have been given that opportunity. “I did not fight the case be- cause I did not want to drag base- ball through the courts and I wanted to avoid the possibility of injury to my mother and my wife. “They sent subpoenas to 143 persons including the commission- er, the president of the National League and officials of each club. I was informed that the case would drag on from four to five weeks. I pleaded nolo contendére (no defense) because I wanted to save all these persons the grief and wearjness of a long court procedure. Frankly, I hoped the court might be more lenient with me.” DULLES ASKED TO (Continued from Page One) fact-finding tour of Europe which Dulles started today with MSA Di- rector Harold Stassen is “of the greatest significance.” The chancellor's broadcast took place on the twentieth anniver- sary of Adolf Hitler's rise to pow- er. Noting this date, and the re- that pro-Nazi sentiment is resur- gent in West Germany, Adenauer declared: “There will never be another Jan. 30, 1933. We have a healthy and alert democracy. The federal republic is a useful and reliable partner for a unified Europe.” I defy them to find any fraud or any semblance of fraud there Differences of opinion, yes, but no fraud “Td straight Ww. like to set one thing The judge (Judge Roy Adenauer predicted that both France and Germany would over- | come opposition to the European larmy treaty and the related Al-/ lied-German peace cortract jhe warned “The real facts are that Europe But Harper) was entirely within | must become unified or it will go chased at the door. t and confidence remaine\ | untouched, like a sturdy mastere beam in a house, while with feele ing and artistry, Joe built the rest of his structure round it. Anthea worked with him, and played with him, ‘and the only shadow on the sunny landscape was Gina’s sullen jealousy. Then on a Friday evening, Ma- rian arrived in Cannes. Until she actually alighted from the train, and followed the porter carrying her suitcase, she had not really known whether she would go to the Riviera or not. She had left home a few days after Anthea. When she had announced she, wanted to go away Gregory had given her plenty of money. He had been worried and anxious about ner, witling to do anything to make her haypy, or to bring her peace. She had gone to Bourne- mouth, and sent him a card from there Saying she had been there too often, and it was not a big enough change, so she thought of going to Scotland. But all the time her passport had been in her bag, renewed and up to clate. She went up to London, telling herself that Scotland would be change enough, and that she would go there. But she bought travelers’ checks with her money, and left on the Golden Arrow for Paris. She would see some shows, and buy a few clothes. That would be change. But at Paris, like one hypno- tized, she had merely changed trains, getting a Pullman seat on the. Riviera press, and travele ing down to Cannes, as though she were being drawn by a thread, by a fly reel, hooked inescapably, being drawn.against her will to the place where Mario Carlotti was.
