Dag Hamm arskjold was de- scribed -here as convinced now that President Nasser of the United Arab Republic had tricked him when he promised to permit passage through the Suez Canal of cargo to and from "The Laugh's On Me," the newest 2ollection of humorous stories by Bennett Cerf, America's leading story- teller, publish- ed b3 Double- d a y, contains more than 2 , 0 0 0 dotes, t es, per- sona' recollec- tions about scores of not- ables and ob- Cerf servations that will delight his readers. Appearing in a listing of 100 categories, people in all walks of life are entertained in this book about their professions and trades and their confreres in many callings. Many of the observations, in their anecdotal form, contain truly philosophical guidance for leaders in professions and in the arts and crafts. Here is an example: " 'Advertise,' warned show- man P. T. Barnum, 'or the chances are that the sheriff will ,do it for you.' To illus- trade his thesis, he pointed out that there are 26 moun- tains in Colorado higher than Pike's Peak—but how many people can recall the name of any one of them?" The se c t i o n "Cloaks and Suits" has many humorous stor- ies that will add to the fun of those who enjoy good stories. It would be most difficult, however, to select any one sec- tion among the 100 categories as being of special significance, since the entire collection is just one continuous storehouse of entertainment. It is as such that Cerf's "The Laugh's On Me" is recommended to the reader. —P. S. To Head NY Federation authorities refused to give clear- ance to the Greek freighter BEEF SOUP Astypalea.

The charter- under which the Astypalea sailed is expiring and its owners want the ship to re- turn to Greece. Israel has noti- fied the owners that it will not repay them the charges the Egyptians demand for the un- loading of the vessel. Israel similarly refused to pay the un- loading charges when the Egyp- tians confiscated the Israel cargo of the Danish freighter Inge Toft.
