LISTENING
IW THE MAY ISSUE of the
magazine, Confidential, an ar-
ticle written by Bradley Ever-
leigh sub-headed with "Don't
Let Groucho Fool You!" stands
out like a sore thumb in view of
the criticism about him that has
lately been coming in dribs and
drabs to the public . . Ever-
leigh writes: "Some people like
to think that a slump-shoulder-
ed,, cantankerous coin e d ian
named Julius Marx is only a
pleasant, mild man who be-
haves like Groucho when he
gets paid for doing it. We have
news for them. Nothing could
be further from the truth. Off
the television screen, Groucho
Marx is a 59-year-old c r a n k
with a snobbish air and a per-
manent case of indigestion, and
is considered far from a jolly
old soul by the people who know
him close up."
REGARDING THE FALLACY
of Groucho's so-called witticisms
and sudden "on the m i n u t e"
rapid fire ad-libbing, Everleigh
goes on to say, "He's made a
fortune being c u t e, puckish
and perverse on "You Bet Your
Life"—but you can bet your life
his antics aren't as unrehearsed
as millions of TV fans think!
THE ARTICLE IN Confidential
is a good answer to the many
inquiries we're still getting fol-
lowing our inter vi e , w with
Groucho, last summer . . . and
the column item we did reveal-
ing his actual character as we
saw it, which, at that time, came
as such a surprise to our readers
. . but is finally being sub-
stantiated

AT A LOCAL first-aid class in
the Civilian Defense program,
attended by Sara Muller, the
question of fainting came up ...
The instructor explained to the
class that the cause of fainting
was primarily a fault of circu-
lation and that it could be pre-
vented by getting the head low-
er than the heart . . . "For in-
stance," he said, "if you feel
faint and don't want to call at-
tention to it, just lean down and
tie your shoe-laces over again."
. . A woman in the front, re-
ports Sara, raised her hand and
asked, "What sort of knot is
used?"
WISE REMARK . . . made by
Rabbi Morris Adler, recently,
while toastmaster at Pisgah
Lodge's "Little Institute on Ju-
daism" . . • regarding "double-
feature" programs, as he calls
them, in which both hours of
s i n g i n g and speech-making
share a long program . "The
mind can absorb just so much
as the seat can endure!"
USNA Ratifies HMS Merger
At its annual meeting at Hotel Plaza, New York, last
week-end, the board of directors of United Service for New
Americans took final ratifying action on recent proposals to
merge with the Hebrew Sheltering and Immigrant Aid So-
ciety to form a single worldwide Jewish migration agency to
be called United HIAS Service.
The forthcoming merger also will include the overseas
operations of the Joint Distribution Committee.
Ratification of the merger agreement by the USNA national
board left only legal and statutory formalities in the way of
physical consolidation of the two migration agencies. The
HIAS board had already ratified the merger agreement at
its own annual meeting earlier this year.
United Service, a constituent agency of the United Jew-
ish Appeal, will continue to be .financed by UJA—the major
beneficiary of the Detroit Allied Jewish Campaign—through-
out 1954.
President Eisenhower, in a special message to the dele-
gates, praised the USNA's resettlement program and said
that the efforts of USNA in the field of immigration have
brought important benefits to the United States.

morning to the musicians, then
raised his hand for silence . . .
"Now, gentlemen and ladies." he
said, "the opening of this sym-

but very, very softly. It opens
like a whisper. Now!" . . . He
raised his baton. Tensely, they
placed their instruments in po-
sition, but before even a single
note was played, Paray lowered
his baton • . "No, no, gentle-
men and ladies," he said. sol-
emnly. "Already too loud."
