On Refugees
A recent report stated that there were still 60,000
refugees In Europe — refugees from World War II. Some
20,000 are still receiving United Nations assistance.
This is, of course, an improvement on the situation
of several years back; the United States, in fact, sent
millions to aid refugees in Europe for many years and
we also passed special laws circumventing the Immigra-
tion laws — allowing these people to move to the United
States.
The point In all this is that we, too, here In the
United States, have many fellow citizens who are hard-
ship cases, in the same plight as other refugees.
These people are refugees as much as the European
refugees. What are we doing for them, in the way of
national refugee programs? The truth is that we have gagement of her niece, Miss

TayEW YORK—Things on* N«w Yorker
11 thinks about:
Slowly but surely (although more slowly
and not so surely as In the days of LaGuardla,
New York’s one towering mayor) the city
moves to rid Itself of slums. Housing projects
spring up every now and then and another
group of broken-down tenements is dyna-
mited. However—it’s a little startling to con-
sider how many slums still remain in this
purportedly greatest of all towns.
Mal u-‘--- Back in 1950, the Community Service So-
ciety estimated that about 150,000 New
Looks at Yorkers lived in substandard one and two-
N. Y. slums. family houses—45,000 of which houses were
described as “totally unfit" Now, 12 years
later, there still are estimated to be 130,000 persona in such
dwellings. In 1960, for instance, the census-takers found that
there were 28,264 occupied dwellings in “deteriorated” condition.
There are few or no plumbing facilities in nearly 4,000 on*
and two-family houses in New York. In the Arvame section of
Rockaway, Queens, for example, it was found recently that a*
much as $70 a month was being paid for three small rooms in
a tar-paper shack, not including utilities.
There are only 118 Health Department inspectors for all flv*
boroughs and the Building Department inspectors total only 353:
both groups are sharply understaffed. They try hard, but mean-
while the slums persist. Naturally, in this fair and-square city
where there is no bigotry, most of tile occupants of the dilapi-
dated buildings are Puerto Ricans and Negroes.
* * * •
ALL THE SHOW BUSINESS talent in New York isn’t on the
stage or in the wings, waiting. Rick Sommers, a waiter at th*
Village Vanguard, just sold two scripts—for a healthy sum—to
Darren McGavin, TV’s “Mike Hammer." . . . Xavier Cugat and
Abbe Lane just blew town on a leisurely cruise to Aruba, where
they'll perform for two weeks at the Caribbean Hotel Casino....
Eddie Fields, the local rug manufacturer who makes carpets
for celebrities, just got an indirect break. His brother Freddie—
Polly Bergen’s husband and Judy Garland’s manager—bought
a sheep farm in New Zealand, so there shouldn’t be any problem
about getting wool. . . . Billy Rose has been trying hard to get
“Cleopatra," the film that made Richard Burton and Elisabeth
Taylor discover—well, romance, I suppose—for his Ziegfeld
Theater, which he’s been refurbishing.
• • • •
I MAY BE THE ONLY PERSON In New York who’s not ex-
cited by the fact that Maurice Chevalier will be back for an-
other engagement here on Jan. 28, after a week's breakin of his
act in Toronto. ... A book full of fabulous guest-author names
—Hecht, Steinbeck, Schulberg, Maugham, Fowler, etc.—is the
new “The Best of the Diners' Club Magazine.” . . . The rioting
in Colombia might have been doubled if the citizen knew that
Guillermo Leon Valencia, the president, ordered : > octal ties to
be flown there from the local Le Calvados because “The cuisin*
isn’t this good at home.” . . . The gay, mad life: Russell Nype,
who’s going to play a saloon engagement here shortly, spent
: almost two grand the other day for five custom-made dinner
Jackets. . . . Nobody tells that guy playing the piano in one of
the Stanhope Hotel suites here to knock it off, Jack; it's late.
He’s the famous concert performer, Rudolf Seikin. . . . And over-
heard at a cocktail party on Park Avenue the other twilight:
“We’d get a divorce but neither of us wants custody of th*
children."
