Ernie Meets a New Yorker Who
Is ‘Homesick’ for the West;
They Chat Loudly Across Table
By ERNIE PYLE
Press Roving Reporter
NEW YORK, June 9.—Good old NewYork. This morning I was
eating breakfast in Childs. When "I finished, I started to roll a
cigaret. Some old guy two tables away called over and said, “Can
you roll ’em with one hand?"
I told him I could once upon a time, but hadn't kept in practice.
He said that 40 years ago in • —-------------------------------
Texas he could roll ’em with one
hand, but now he couldn’t do it
with both hands.
He was a New Yorker—born
here, lives here now. But in his
youth he took a flier into the
West, hunting adventure. And,
according to him, he found it.
He sat and, shouted loudly
across the tables, of Childs res-
taurant, shouted tales of rattle-
snakes and gunmen and Mexicans
land such things. All the other
o people stopped eating, to listen
and smile. New Yorkers don’t,
usually start conversations with
strangers.
Wasn’t Doing It
He kept repeating that the
theme of the Old West was “mind

of that tickled me, for that was
exactly what he wasn't doing.
The New- .Yorkers sat and
smirked. But I didn’t mind listen-
ing, for I know what it Is when a

You know ,how tourists are al- 111
ways writing or scratching their 11 1
names on public places. Well, for III
some reason, the interior of the III
tower is remarkably free from
that. • There is just one type of III
person they have trouble with— III
and those are the Hitler-Lovers! TIT
On two different windows, peo-
ple have cut deep into the glass Illr
with diamond rings. One of them
said "Hitler is King of U. S. A."
The other said "Hitler is the
best . . . " It wasn't finished.
Every so often they have to put
in a new pane, because the Hit-
ler-lovers have carved the win-
dows all up with their diamonds.
It burns Mrs. Chandler up.
Well, that's all I know about 1
New York. So, if you will now'
pardon me, I'll leave the great
city to get along as best it can,
and rattle out to Indiana and
visit my folks a few days. Every-
body out there's going to ask the |
very first thing, “Well, Ernest, I

Inspectors Rapped
For Ban on Tomatoes
W. NACorry, flotorial represen- |
tative from Tarrant and Denton
counties, today leveled criticism at |
state inspectors who interfered 1
with Tarrant farmers in the sale |
of tomatoes on the Dallas whole- |
sale market Monday.
The new law, cause of all the'
trouble, applies to green tomatoes
only when sold in quantities of j
more than 500 pounds. Rep. Corry
said in a statement from Austin.
"Inspectors working under the
supervision of Commissioner of
Agriculture J E McDonald had,
no authority to interfere in the
sale of pink or ripe tomatoes,” |
he said. "I have been assured by
the commissioner that it won’t
occur again.”
how much it costs. But for you
who come to New York for the
first time to see the Fair, I
wouldn't miss going to the top of
this world's tallest building.
3 Elevator Changes
You have to change elevators |
three times on the way up. Once
you get there, you're in a big
circular : room, looking out
through heavy glass windows The |
wind can t get to you. And, since
you're all enclosed, you don't
have that “falling over" feeling
| that makes looking down from
high places a terror for me.
I've flown over New York many
times in airplanes. But never
from an airplane do” you have the
magnificent view of New York
that you get from this tower.
