A NEW MILESTONE—The arrival of James Ralph Massey a
few day* ago ha* brought u* to a new milestone In lift. I am talk-
ing about mom and me, of courae For. you ** the arrival of
James Ralph make* me ORANDPA and mom ORANDMA.
Actually be wUl be and already la better knew* by M*
grandparents a* Jimmy.' for that is what he will be call-
ed, aa we have been tofermed. Sa in the future if yeu a**
something In this earner which has any msntiea af Jimmy,
—there may be a few times, yeu knew.—yeu will knew
right off whe GRANDPA Keleber is talking abeoL
1 know what you are thinking about. You had the thought
right quick, that there are other grandsons named James, or call-
ed Jimmy I know that and I will grant you that some of them
are pretty special persons. But, this is different, if you get what
I mean.

That reminds me of an Incident that happened some years
ago while I was In school. After school hours and during Saturdays
and vacation seasons I was working at several lob* to make It
possible to go to school.
One of these jobs was In a combination Pawnbroker and Army
Store in the city This store was operated by a young man of the
Yiddish faith, as most such establishments are.
An uncle of this young man had a young son who was taking
violin lessons. Being a violinist was a very important goal for this
young man in the plans of his father.
One day the uncle and his young son had Just re-
turned from a recital er exhibition in which the contest-
ants were closely graded on a point system. The ancle was
telling my bom a boot it and he made this stateasent: “My
Felix was the host violinist there, bnt the Jndges gave the
top sward to a little boy Just for one little point. Felix was
still the best.**

Someone stopped me on the street the other day and said:
"I thought when you got to be Grandpa you would have a big
headline in the paper about lt.“
Let me tell you Just what happened.
Don't get the idea that I didn't have things planned.
My wheels had been turning alright, for some time, about
how l might announce bis arrival. The troth of the matter
is the little ‘feller* didn't take Into consideration my plans
and timing in the matter of his arrival.
His coming Into this world was at 1 p. m. on Wednesday. Just
In time to get In under the wire before the paper went to press,
so it was carried as a normal birth announcement.
The plans I had In mind about a special announcement were
then shoved aside and new plans started taking shape.
So you might say Jimmy crossed me up a little in timing his
arrival This will probably be the only time that he will ever
cross up his grandpa, as you may well know
Several have asked me during the past two weeks, who Jimmy
looks like. I have repeatedly told each one that this is one field lit
which I am strictly non-committal at this point. Ill just have to
let some other members of the (amity tell you that.
I’ll tell ysu this, thoagb. He I* here and be is all there _
tea. He is all bey, and lets yuu knew abeut It. In fuel he
Is THE GRANDSON. That's what ysu have been wanting
me ts tell yeu. Isn't it?
There are other grandsons, of course, there were some pretty
special grandsons, in fact they were THE grandsons, before Jimmy
came along But, that is ail over now. Jimmy has moved in.

Under the road-buUding act. the 90 per cent federal i__,

It was for this reason that Preside* I

on whether or not to name a euceeaaor to ailing Secretary of I

The date was not picked capriciously: rather it was arrived I

By that date. Informants point out, Dulles- response to the j

Also, by that date, the position of Russia and the
Western powers will have been pretty well deter-
mined on the Berlin crisis. It must be recalled that
Russia has act a deadline of May 27 for the Western
