Try and Stop Me

By BENNETT CERF

WONDER how many Of you remember the shenanigans of
I 1 Montague
Glass' greatest creations, Potash and Perlmutter?

These two hot-tempered and argumentative partners called one
another every name under
the sun, but if an outsider
attacked, they were as unite&
and indivisible as Park and
Tilford or Haig and Haig!

One of Potash's rages was
provoked by a high-salaried
salesman who was too lazy to
cover his accounts properly.
"Look at you sitting here twad-
dling your thumbs," screamed
Potash. "Why aren't you out
selling?" "Listen, Mr. Potash,"
the salesman assured him. "If
I could sell like you think I
should, I'd be in business for
myself!"
There came a day when Pot-
ash and Perlmutter invested in a motion picture company, and Pert-
mutter hired a slinky siren of the then-popular Theda Bara-Pola
Negri type. "How much you paying her?" demanded Potash sus-
piciously. "Seven hundred a week," admitted Perlmutter. "Robbery,"
cried Potash. "You've gone crazy." "Calm yourself," said Perl-
mutter. "You don't seem to understand that this girl is a Kipling
vampire." "For seven hundred dollars a week," decreed Potash, "she
should Kipple for somebody else."

Council Conciliation
Work Is Progressing

"The continued successes of
the Counciliation and Arbitra-
tion Committee of the Jewish
Community Council dispel any
doubt that this method of set-
tling disputes between Jewish
individuals and organizations
can maintain peaceful relations
in the Jewish community,"
stated A. C. Lappin, chairman,
in his report to the Council Ex-
ecutive committee. "The realiza-
tion is constantly growing that
the secret, expeditious, simple,
economical, .and judicial . ban-
dling of disputes by our Commit-
tee can save much time, expense
'and embarrassment to those
directly involVed and, in many
instarrceS,. also prove in the in- .
terest of the JeWish community
as a whole," Lappin sad.
Typical of recent references
to the committee .is the com-
plaint of seven tenants against
their landlord for rental over-
charges. The matter was kept
from reaching the courts and
the press, thus avoiding detri-
mental publicity.
Reporting at the delegates'
meeting, Louis Rosenzweig, co-
chairman of the committee,
stressed the need for ever-in-
creasing interest in the arbitra-
tion-conciliation method of set-
tling disputes and urged the
delegates to have their organi-
zations invite speakers to ex-
plain the committee's work.
