World Bank Head Quits Cozy
Post For German Headache
WASHINGTON — (NEA) —
When a man quits a cQzy job that
pays $30,000 a year, tax free, to
take a mean one at less than half
the pay. taxed, it’s enough to make
you think he’s either balmy or
has a powerful ulterior motive.
Such a man is bald, stocky and
affable John J. McCloy, who has
just given up the graceful exis
tence as President of the World
Bank to shoulder what until re
cently was General Lucius Clay’s
headache in Germany. :
~ But McCloy, a vigorous man of
54 who plays tennis aqq fispes as
hard as he works, is neither balmy
nor does he have an ulterior mo
tive. According to a friend who
tried hard to talk him out of the
change, it's his ‘blasted super
curiosity.” The friend explains it
this way:
“When a problem or job intri
gues John McCloy it’s like a pow
erful magnet pulling a steel nee-
dle. For him it is a basic force he
can’t resist. He's got a penetrat
ing, analytical mind that Kkeeps
him awake at night wunless he
gives it plenty of hard work dur
ing the day. The Berlin situation
has always fascinated him and he
has been following it as closelly as
though he had been part of it
Now that he’s really got it, I hope
he's satisfied. And I'm sure ‘that
he is.”
Won ‘Black Ton' Case
McCloy brings pleniy of savvy
and experience to his new job.
He and his wife both speak Ger
man fluently. He first picked up
the language serving as an officer
with the occupation forces in Ger
many after World War I in Cob
lenz. Mrs. McCloy learned it dur
ing the many years they spent in
Europe in the ’'3os, while he was
representing the Bethlehem Steel
Co., in the famous Black Tom
case.
~ After 10 vears of brilliant work
on that case, involving the most
complicated kind of litigation be-
frva internotional and foreign
courts, he finaliy won victory for
ths cuent by proving German es
pionage responsible for the ex
plosion of a shipload of ammuni
tion in the New York harbor in
1916. The case involved $20,000,-
000 settlement.
MeCloy's cool navigating
through the morass of intrigue
and counter-espionage that sur
rounded the Black Tom case won
the admiration of Henry L. Stim
son, Secretary of State while most
of it was going on. When Stimson
became Secretary of War in 1940,

| ster America’s counter-sabotage
| activities, he called on McCloy to
'help him. From 1941 to 1945, as
’ Assistant Secrevary of War, Mc-
Cloy directed that job as well as
!acting as “eyes, ears, and good
‘right arms” for the elderly Stim
'son on all matters, including those
of top policy.
Once, during the early fighting
in Africa, McCloy arrived at that
front simultaneously with the first
shipment of bazookas to the
troops. There were no instructions
on how to use the radically new
weapons. But it happened that
McCloy had made it his business
to learn how, to fire them when
the first models had been tested
back in the States.
He put on an impromptu dem
onstration which enabled some of
tre troops to start using the ba
zookas immediately. One of the
soldiers he taught in that first
demonstration later won the Con
gressional Medal of Honor with
the weapor.
When McCloy left the govern
ment in 1945, he said: “I'm going
to take some time to have fun with
my young son and daughter (11
and seven) and try to pay some
bills.” The SIOO,OOO-a-year law
practice he returned to, followed
by the World Bank job, has en
abled him to do both.
War Historian
What with his work, family and
sports, nobody really knows how
McCloy has had time to win a
reputation as authority on the his
tory of war and its causes. One
of the biql encyclopedia publish
ers recently asked him to write
their section devoted to World
War II for the next edition. And
he still delights in conducting
tours of the historic battlefieds in
the Washington area.
Philadelphia born and a gradu
ate of Amherst (1916) and' Har
vard Law, McCloy's even dispo
sition and great enjoyment of
people have made him a great
favorite with the international
personalities with whom he has
done business as head of the
World Bank. In perfect health, he
has only an expanded middle and
a graving of the fringe around
his bald head to show his real
age.
Summer Rushing
Sororities Plan
For Athens Girls
A rule was passed by Panhel
lenic Counecil Monday night al
lowing summer rushing in Ath
ens, for Athens girls only. A
limit was set at two parties for
each sorority. .
Due to the fact that some sor
ority houses will be open this
summer and some will not, it was
decided that parties must be in
private homes rather than soror
ity houses so as to be fair to all.
Six representatives were ap
pointed from Panhellenic to at
tend a constitutional convention
along with six reperesentatives
from IFC, GOP and POW fto
write a constitution for a stu

The constitution will then be
brought back to the various or
eanizations and adopted or re
jected. :
Jane Schneider, Martha Clark
and Renee Steinberg were ap
pointed to meet with three rep
resentatives from Mortar Board

The meeting was held at the

Boy Mayor
Finds Europe
Very Serious
DOBBS FERRY, N. Y.—(NEA)—
Mayor Finnerty was bushed. And
he had every reason to be. His
Honor had just returned £from a
three-week tour of five European
nations. He had been greeted by
getting ready for a television
broadcast.
Quite a strain for any execu
tive, but Mayor Finnerty is only
16. John Finnerty is his real name,
and what he mayors is the Chil
dren’s Village, a 400-population
community for underprivileged
boys at Dobbs Ferry.
Mayor Finnerty was sent to Eu
rope — specifically, to Germany,
France, Italy, Austria and Switz
erland—as a correspondent for
Young America magazine. His
assignment was to report on chil
dren’s villaget in those coun
ties.
Slim and serious, Mayor Fin
nerty found European children
more mature in mind than Amer
ican youngsters of comparable
ages. But “they are undersized,”
he says, attributing their malnu
trition to the war years.
He found, he said, as he tried
to suppress a yawn, that Euro
pean children think seriously
about such problems as politics
and peace.
“What they'd like,” he said, “is
world government. World peace,
too, of course but first and fore
most they want world govern
ment.”
Kept Log
Mayor Finnerty kept a log of
his trip, at least of the first part
of it. The -impressions he got of
his flight abroad, of Faris, of Ger
many, are mirrored in his own
words:
“Waved farewell to group as
sembled . . ~ Ooons! Here we go
over the Atlantic. On our merry
way to Europe I hope! ... Ah yes!
Columbus (myself) just discov
ered a small island out in the
ocean all by its lonesome . . .”
“l saw a French woman with
three colored hair—blond, black
and another shade of blond . . .
I'm to meet Ambassador Jefferson
Caffery at our Embassy. He said
it was good to see another Ameri
can—a real one, not a European
ized one . . . Walking on marble
floors is tough on the feet.”
“I had a fine dinner—they
couldn’t understand why I
wouldn’t drink wine . . . Visited
Chartres . . . took a picture of one
of the best gargoyles . . . Nice
people, the French . . . They say
what they mean, I think.”
“For dinner (in Wahlwies,
French Zone, Germany) I had
potato soup and bread soaked in
sugarless rhubarb. This meal was
a TREAT in my honor . . . On the
train . . . a man came along sell
ing candy bars. I paid him two
bucks for a bar.. Wait till the
kids back home hear of that!”
- Boys’ Village
“At Stanberg, another boys vil
lage . . . Girls don’t get much at
tention here. They are taught sew
ing and cooking. What do I think
of this? I am not quite sure I
know. Have to think about it
more . . . Visited a farm nearby
.. . Why are German cows bigger
than ours?”
“Got.up at €3BO . . . Boy do 1
keep early hours! . . . Left for
Zurich. Chuggety-chug-chug . . .
Met a toothbrush salesman. He
had lost his sales kit and refused
to buy a toothbrush because he
had a gross of them in his kit.”
Mayor Finnerty made his head-

during skip bombing at the first annual Air Force gunnery meet in Las Vegas, Nev. The dust cloud

it skipped into the target. Teams from the best fighter groups in the nation participated in the

Salesman Spots Washington
Sightseers By New Shoes
WASHINGTON — (NEA) —
Honeymooners always wear new
shoes and persons who carry um
brellas are poor sightseers.
Naot only that. Washingtonians
are almost always in a hurry and
pipesmokers aren’t very good
sightseers, either.
Those nugets of incidental
quarters at Trogen, a Children’s
village in Switzerland. There
children, orphaned by the war,
live in houses supervised by house
parents.
“House parents make the best
psychiatrists,” he says.
Children of the same nationality
live in the same house at Trogen.
There is a Greek house, a Hunga
rign, Finnish Tltalian, French and
others. In the morning, the chil
dren stay in their own house,
learning their mother tongue.
Afternoons they mingle and “edu
eate each other,” as the Mayor
says.
:* % %
In Germany, the children wel
comed Mayor Finnerty by singing
The Star Spangled Banner in Ger
man, and then, “Then they sang
bookie-woogie in German.” You'll
,hl:we to take the Mayor’s word on
that. 6
Mayor Finnerty tried to talk to
the children about the war, but
the scars are still near the sur
face.
“I couldr’t peer too deep into a
child’s past,” said the 16-year-old
foreign correspondent. “One adult
tried it, and a chiid broke down.”
While Europe’'s few children's
villages are doing their best, the
problem of the continent’s home
less youngsters is a grave one. In
Greece alone, 100,000 children are
estimated to be living in fields
and caves.
“Home sure looked good to me.”
said Mayor Finneriy, with a big,
and tired, grin.

truth come from a highly success
ful practioner of applied psychol
ogy, Earl S. Mink. He's a super
sightseeing salesman.
Summer and winter, Mink
stands on the same busy corner
in downtown Washington and sells
guided tours of the nation’s capi
tol to visitors. An infallible meth
od of distinguishing visitors from
residents, and then properly clas
sifying them, is his key to a very
profitable business. His average
is only one-half of one mistake
per 100 “approaches.” This frac
tion of an error occurs when a res
ident happens to pass by shep
herding two or three out-of
towners.
I T
Honeymooners are his best cus
tomers. He claims he can spot
them almost before they turn the
corner. When he sees a couple
holding hands he immediately
looks at their feet. If they are
both wearing new shoes, they’re
honeymooners. It's infallible, he
says. %
And the chances are they’ll
take his deluxe $8.50 tour, which
includes a private limousine ride
of 50 miles to all the points of
high interest and a boat ride up
the Potomac.
Full of Money
“The young man’s pocket will
be full of money which his father
gave him as a wedding present,”
Mink explains, “and at that stage
of married life they won’t care
how they spend it.”
He says that there are many
obvious signs which mark the vis
itor.
“They’ll amble along. When
they come to a corner they will
pause and look up and down the
street before deciding which way
to’go. There’s always the camera
and map. And they will be
scrubbed and freshly pressed.”
Mink can do better than un
erringly pick out the visitors on
a crowded street, he can tell you
exactly how many days they have
been in town. He proved this
ability by picking out a half dez
en before they passed, estimating
how many days they’d been in
town and then stopping them and
checking his figure. He didn’t miss
on one.
“Mostly I can tell by how fast
they walk,” he explains. “The first
day they poke along. Next day
it's a little faster, and you can
tell by how much of the ‘lost’
look they’ve lost.”
He says that practically no vis
itor walks along the street as fast
as the average Washingtonian,
however. 5
For some reason which Mink
can’t explain, visitors who are
carrying umbrellas or who are
smoking pipes just aren’t inter
ested in buying a guided tour,
even the $2.50 one. Unless busi-~
ness is very slack, he doesn't even
approach such persons. :
Family Groups
Next to honeymooners his best
set of customers are family groups
—mamma, poppa and the Kkids.
But it's the sightseeing families
who worry Mink the most, too.
Charter Is
Presented
Barrow Troop
Barrow School' Boy Scout
troop, sponsored by the school’s
P. T. A., was presented its char
ter recently at a play given by
the school. g
The presentation was conduct
ed as one of the highlights of the
evening. Students at the school
and parents attended the cere
mony. Bob Arthur, neighborhood
commissioner, presented = the|
charter to Archie Langley, troopl
institutional representative. i
Scoutmaster of Troop No. 104[
is Carlisle Cobb, jr. Frapk Fitch,
jr., is assistant scoutmaster and
committee chairman is Warren
Lanier. Committeemen are J. A.
Ward, Sam Hajie ane ain Slaugh-i
ter.
The troop began holding meet
ings in November, but was offi
cially registered as a part of the
Northeast Georgia Council on|
March 31. The membery of the
troop are Sonny Suddath, Buddy
Sams, Ben Baiiey, Jun Ward,
Billy Bowden, Frederick Schus
ter, Johnny Mitchell, Bee Till
man, Fain Slaughter, Frank Cor
ker, and Pobby Hartford, ‘
He says that they will invariably “
start running out of money before
the trip is over.
“The parents have probably.
been saving up for years to bring
junior and his sister here to see
the White House and the Lincoln
Memorial, only to discover that
they haven’t saved up quite
enough. It's pretty tough to get
by for less than $lO a day per per- |
son. And that’s staying in the av- I
erage hotels, and skipping mgml
clubs and expensive restaurants.” |
Michigan, Ohio, Indiana and Ii- |
linois supply the great bulk of all |
the visitors to Washington, Mink |
has discovered. Inceasing num- |
bers are coming from Canada. |
Business falls off only slightly in 1
the winter, but the type of visitor |
changes. L I
“The winter visitors are em- |
ployers—employes take vacations
in the summer—and people who
are retired,” Mink explains. i
The skills of the glassworkeys
who make fine American hand
made glass tableware are handed
down from grandfather to grand
son. At least ten years of inten
sive training are required before
a man is regarded as skilled.
