REPORT FROM
WASHINGTON
WASHINGTON, D. C. - Pres-
ident John F. Kennedy's trip to
Germany was a historic turn
for both the United States and
West Germany. It was a far
more significant development
than recent presidential meet-
ings with other foreign govern-
ment chiefs.
Editorial—
Church Merger Due
A spokesman for the United Church of Christ re-
etntly said plans were progressing faster than they had
been anticipated, for a possible merger of some six Pro-
testant churches, with a total membership approaching
26,000,000.
The churches reportedly involved include the United
Church of Christ. Methodist, United Presbyterian. Pro-j West (>rmany te ^ ^
testant Episcopal. Deciples of Christ and Evangelical j stronffest nation on the contin-

higher goal we strive to attain.
Split Unresolved
greeted DeGaulle last year.
And while DeGaulle had the ad-
vantage of speaking German,
Mr. Kennedy's personality and
youthful vitality more than
made up for this deficiency.
The Presidents words were
forceful; he replied indirectly
to DeGaulle's propaganda by
telling the Germans Washington
did not consider it a ‘'burden”
to defend Western Europe and
West Berlin. He made it clear
the United States would not re-
treat from its commitment to
your soil is an attack on ours.’
The importance of Germany,
missed by the State Depart-
ment for so long, is today clca-
The basic result of the recent Russian-Red Chinese
talks was that the split between the two powers was not
resolved. Actually, the meeting produced beneficial re-
sults for the free world, for the split between the two
most populous Communist nations was hardened and Germ-Ins “Ln* attack m
finalized.
The future seems to hold the prospect of a compet-
ing Moscow and Peking in the Communist movement
ahead. It almost certainly will see Chinese progress come j rpr than ever. Great Britain is
slower than Peking leaders, a few years back, had anti- expected to soon have a Labor
clpated, for Russian aid to Red China has long since
been halted.
The truth seems to be the Russians fear the Chinese,
and for good reason. The Red Chinese are more mili-
tant in their program and more reckless in taking the
risk of war, in beginning military operations. Because
their greatest prize lies to the north, in Russia, the Red
Chinese will sooner or later attack the Soviet Union.
This Moscow already knows.
From the free world, this is an improved prospect,
over that of Red China launching a war on the West,
w.th Russia’s backing, and dragging the advanced coun-
tries down in the ensuing carnage.

Six Year Olds Need Physical Exam
Most six-year-olds who are beginning school this
year are in for a series of immunization shots if these
have not been taken care of earlier. While it is not re-
quired for those beginning their formal education, a
physical examination is a wise precaution.
Very often a complete physical examination will un-
cover defects that a child may have and that have been
unnoticed. It is, of course, important, if a child has a
defect that the parents and teachers know about the
Defect so that they can help the child overcome the
handicap of the defect. ...... .

Party Government I tended by
pacifist Harold Wilson. Wilson
is against British possession of
a nuclear force and against Ger-
man participation in a multi-
nation nuclear force, as Presi-
dent Kennedy has proposed.
Therefore, it may be that soon
Germany will be the only Maj-
or Western European power in
harmony with Washington's
views on the defease of Western
Europe. France is actively op-
posing U. S. leadership. The
its Atlantic and Channel fleets
out of the NATO command the
week of the Kennedy visit to
Germany.
The great reception given
Kennedy in Germany, tlio ap-
peal of his personality on so
many Germans, was then of
vital significance to U. S. for-
eign policy. It is the U. S.
chance to rebuild that solid link
between West Germany and
Washington which was so strong
up to the Rusk-Adenaoer tift
and subsequent gains made by
Paris in Ihe situation resulting.

may be about to go by the way-
side. A reluctant Congress has
refused to give the President
the laws lie called for, to raise

was
the first customer of the
evening in the Dolphin. The
landlord was new to him, but
the room was exactly as he re-
membered It He ordered a pint
of bitter and omarked that it
was a lovely evening.
“Yes, it’s a little better now
the wind's dropped."
He took his beer over to the
window and stood looking out
across the harbor
“That's a fine schooner out
there.” he said.
"She came in a couple of days
ago from Holland. Been refitting
there. 1 understand ”
“She's not a Dutchman,
though, is she? 1 couldn't make
out her flag."
"Well, she’s flying the Uru-
guay flag, but that means noth-
ing these days. 1 believe her
owner s an American, but I’m
not sure. They say she spends
most of her time in the Carib-
bean. running luxury cruises for
Yanxee millionaires.”
“She's a lovely ship, all right.
Whats her name?”
"The Black Pearl, they call
her "
Carrington sat down at a ta-
ble near the bar and began
drinking his beer.
"You on holiday -here, then?"
the landlord asked, making con-
versation.
“Just a couple of days,' said
Carrington
"You’ve missed the best of
the weather. I'«n afraid. Lovely
spell we had a couple of weeks
ago. Very busy we were then,
with the trippers coming over
on the boat from Torquay.”
“All right for business, 1 sup-
pose, but 1 must say I've al-
ways preferred Brixham quiet
like this.”
“You know Brtxham then?"
“Before your time, 1 think. 1
used to put in here sometimes
iitng down Channel. But the
last time 1 was in here was
let’s see—six or seven years
ago.”
“Ah, yes, we only came here
four years ago last July. If
you’re interested in sailing Ships,
now, you ought to get out and
have a look at that schooner.
They say she’s a real luxury
Job.”
Nothing would please me
more. I’ll have to try and ar-
range it.”
"Well, they’re usually in here
of an evening. Come la later on
—you’ll find half the crew here
—skipper, mate and all. I don’t
think you’d have much trouble
wangling an invitation aboard.”
“What’s the captain like?”
“Great Mg fellow with fair
hair—a Swede by the look of
him.”
‘And the crew?”
'A pretty mixed bag, mostly
Jamaicans, 1 dare say.”
“When are they off?’’
“Ah, that 1 don’t know. 1 did
hear something about them
picking up one or two passen-
gers. but 1 don't suppose they’ll
be stopping more than a day
or two.”
Carrington finished his drink.
“Well, 1 must be getting
along. May see you later, then.”
"Yes, sir, they're usually in
here about half past eight.”
Carrington walked back to his
hotel with the name of the
schooner ringing in his mind.
The Black Peart ... A roman-
tic name, he thought, with a
whiff of ooral reefs and dark
deeds about it.

decided to have a drink
the hotel bar before din-
ner, hoping ne might find Jane
Day there. He pushed the door
open and looked in.
To nis disappointment she
was not there'. In the corner of
the room was a small cocktail
bar. Serving behind it waa Mrs.
Porter, the buxom proprietress
whom Carrington bad already
met when ne first arrived at the
hotel. She was talking to a
snortim, dark-haired man
perched on a stool at the bar.
It was the owner of the black
convertible.
Carrington was about to With-
draw when the mail turned his
head and saw him.
“Good evening!" Ms called.
“Come and have a drink."
And suddenly Cfyrlngton re-
membered who he was
The last time he had seen him
was in the' wardroom of the
submarine depot ablp Adamant
in Trincocoalee. He was then
commanding officer of one of
the submarines operating from
the sister depot ship Maidstone
across the bay. He bad never
known him personally, partly
because his particular subma-
rine usd gone on to Australis

rived out from England. For
the moment he could not even
recall his name.
His presence here in Brixham
could hardly be a coincidence.
“It’s very good of you, but
. . Uneasy, Carrington hesi-
tated. “1 won’t, if you don’t
mind. Tve just had a couple of
pints around the comer.”
“Well, have a short one—a
pink gin or something.”
It would have been too point-
edly ungracious to refuse.
•Well, if you insist, ni have
a gin and tonic, thank you.”
Aa she was pouring the drink
Mrs. Porter said, “Do you gen-
tlemen know each other? Mr.
Gardner . .. Mr. Carrington.”
Gardner ... of course, Lieu-
tenant Tony Gardner.
“You know, Mr. Carrington,”
said Gardner, handing him his
gin and tonic, ‘Tve a strong
feeling we’ve met somewhere
before.”
“Oh?" Carrington was polite,
noncommittal, alert. ‘1 don’t
think so.”
“During the war perhaps, in
the Navy?"
’Well, it's possible, 1 suppose,
but rm afraid 1 . .
But Gardner waa relentless.
“Surely," he said, “you were
in submarines?"
Useless to deny It—the man's
memory was too good. “Yes.
as a matter of fact 1 was.”
Trinco, 1 think, about the
middle of ’43? 1 was driving
BUmgrag at the time.”
"Yes, of course, I remember
now," said Carrington, feeling
rather hypocritical; and then
as if to excuse himself for not
having remembered him, he
continued: “But 1 think you
went cm to Australia fairly soon
after 1 got there.”
“That’s right 1 was one of
the first boats to go on to Fre-
mantle. Well,” be said, raising
his glass, “it’s s small world.’’
Carrington was acutely aware
that Gardner was watching him
closely over his glass. He wished
he had never come into the bar.
Gardner took out a silver cig-
arette case. “Cigarette?"
Thank you.” Carrington fum-
bled for matches.
“Here you are—save the
match.” Leaning forward with
his lighter, Gardner said: “You
were BUI Howard’s third hand,
weren’t you?”
Carrington felt like a chess
player who has stupidly al-
lowed himself to be checkmat-
ed in the opening moves of the
gams. Gardner had got him.
wsU and truly — pinned down
like a specimen butterfly in a
showcase. There was an ironic
smile on the lean face, and the
eyes, regarding him intently un-
der their long lashes, were cold
and watchful.
“Yes,” sold Carrington, "I

Br MEL HEIMER
TVTEW YORK—Monday night is dullsville in
11 the Manhattan saloons. At best there is
only a mail pride of expense-account
Uuuwh awoy-of-moncy left, and on Monday
they are holed up In their duplexes, nursing
the weekend’s hangovers. Summer Is especial-
ly bod—so I was startled the other Monday
night when, os the last of the heavy spenders,
I walked Into the Copacabana behind a stream
of tourist* just off a cafe-tour bus, and found
the joint jammed.
Mat Heimer I soon found out why the big biz. A big,
fat Negro comedian - mimic* musician - enter-
Georgo talner named George Kiity came out in the
doet it! star act, after the hazy-dazy dancing tootsies
had retired following one of their one-two*
three-skip routines—and it’s been a long time since I saw such
a good time hod by one and all.
It wasn’t that. Kilby's talent overwhelmed the cash customers,
■lMwwgh ft did. It wasn't that he had Count Basle’s piano-play-
ing down cold or that he did the world’s most marvelous imita-
tion, a takeoff on Pearly Mae Bailey singing "Tired.’’ Mimicry
is a amsii art, of course, but George is a perfectionist at it No,
it wasn't these things. It was that Kirby was peddling good
humor. He was making people feel good. It’s been 15 years, or
back to the early saloon days of Martin and Lewis, since I've
seen cafe-goers leaning back and belly-laughing and thinking
bey. Isn’t life great?
• * * *
THESE are THE YEARS OF THE CEREBRAL COMICS,
who appeal to the head, not the heart Or the testy, waspish
comics such as Shelley Berman, whose skill sometimes Is over-
done by their glumness. They deal in many commodities but
seldom in good humor. The moon-faced Kirby does. He seems
tike a guy you’d like to have at the dinner table every night, to
yok it up and make you forgot that China hates Russia. Russia
hates the U. S. and France hates everybody.
I sat there having s ball—and wondering what George had to
feel so good about anyway. A middle-aged Chicagoan, he has
come up the hard way to his present success. His mother paddy-
whacked him for imitating his teacher in grade school. He had
to quit high school In the depression, to work. George started
out as a pearl diver—a dishwasher—in Joe Louis’ south side club,
the Rhumboogie, and later he was a porter and a barkeep. Hs
bad a cot^ple of years with the Army in the South Pacific and
then, long years later, he had a two-year illness that knocked
him out of a promising show-business start.
* • • *
IN A NENSF, GEORGE HAS BEEN PADDY-WHACKED BY
life; he’s a prime example of that wonderful line somebody once
.iii- "Ufe is what happens to you when you’re making other
plans.” But time after time ho has bounced back, not letting it
get him down. Now bo’s got it made, as those of you who watch
Ed Sullivan’s television show are aware.
The important item to me was that on this Monday night, and
presumably twice an evening on every other night, there was a
bunch of people sitting In a New York deadfall and glowing with
good feeling. George Kirby, reformed pearl diver, Is selling a
staple of which we have all too little. I don’t know exactly how
he feels about it, but If I were him. I’d feel pretty darned proud.
