B Een in a state of Giddy bafflement delightedly encouraged by the editors of one of the leading state Side picture magazines ver the identity of a writer named b. Traven who lives somewhere in. Mexico and whose novels hold steady positions on the mexi. Can Best seller lists. It is pretty Well established4-that Traven is an american but since he refuses to Cie pose himself that s just about All. The information a available on him. Publishers admiring readers and investigators representing the press have been unable to track him Down for sure. Communication with him has been Only through intermediaries chief among whom is a woman who acts As his agent and whom some believe to be Traven himself r herself. Even the movie recently made from. If one of Traven s books the treasure of Sierra Isadre which just incidentally happens to be re viewed on Page 20 of this Issue failed to bring him out into the Public Light. .-.-. I now we re not much at mysteries. We did t even come close on miss hush and at tie movies Jet the Guy we pick As the murderer invariably turns a up As a Corpse Early in the second reel. However we � think some recent experiences of our own might offer some clues to any one interested in cracking the Traven case.3 a Short time ago we received a manuscript Bear ing an exotic looking stamp and an illegible Post so Mark. It was an article on child prodigies. Its author identified himself As one Lawrence Newton but suggested that any questions checks Etc. Be addressed & to another party in new York. S at the same time we published the piece move of Over Maestro april 24 we dispatched a message -. To the agent Newton had designated asking if theauthor would be willing to write us an article on the television. Situation in the states. We also requested some biographical information on the author him self. Without any of the usual balks complaints about be handling of previous contributions or demands for. Fat dance payment that you to run into with5l"writers, we received the Story we had requested. "televi5ionit s Here Page 5 of this Issue. We of sent Back a Cable saying what about biography a ii reply we have received nothing but the photo in graph reproduced above,.at right. is one Kcf the few known photos of the mysterious . We find the similarity of these two photo of graphs Little Short of remarkable. Furthermore Al though we have never read any of Traven s books pm selves we have been informed by analysts to samples of both writer s works have been submitted that there is a striking similarity i styles. This occurs the use of lengthy paragraphs and in the frequency with which the combination of the letters to and a occurs. Personally we Are not interested in proving that. Traven is Lawrence Newton or vice versa. We Don t even like to get mixed up in things like b. Traven Newton but for Pur own Benefit we do like to know who we re dealing with. After All these Days you can never be sure but what you re sheltering some anti television Man or a former Hollywood writer with a Thomas committee record.

Tribute to Musmanno sir. _ r it is difficult for a writer to write about a writer and the results Are Seldom so successful As was Julia Edwards article on my old Friend Mike Musmanno the Sailor on the Bench april 24 at Niernberg. Mike never has worked very hard to make friends albeit he works very hard at his task of handing Down is a standing joke in Mike s native Pittsburgh that if reporter got in bad. With a City editor he found himself As. Signed to the Musmanno the punishment was not the association. With Mike but the Effort required to keep up with the Man. The com Mon pleas night court sessions were not Only the result of a personal Carn u careless Drivers but were also aimed at cleaning up a staggering backlog of cases which could have dragged on for years if heard Only during the regular established daytime court hours. Despite the fact that i meant extra work for newspapermen. For lawyers arid for various court of facials Mike s obvious sincerity and deep rooted interest in the. Welfare of 5? the common Man made Hini Fany Totore. Friends than it did enemies. " ? it is obvious from Reading Julia s article that the terror of the Pittsburg Bench has carried Over his determination to provide speedy Justice in his Niernberg assignment. a special appendix to the Sailor i on the Bench i would like to put in a plug for Mike s latest fictional veh a Ture listen to the River a but magnificently written True Story of an italian immigrant family in Pittsburgh. Basing his Story on the love Between two. People his motherland father Musmanno has traced his own career with becoming modestly and has succeeded in painting the Pic Ture of Pittsburgh her hundreds of thousands of immigrants her politics and her Industry As no one has before.

Marsha Davenport s Galley of it is typical of Mike that his " Book portrays the life of the world greatest Industrial City through the eyes of the worker. It is despite his. Exalted position the Only Point of View which those of us who know Mike Musmanno could expect him to take.

Duttweiler. Sir ". Gottlieb Duttweiler is undoubtedly a great Man if one can judge from the. Glowing account of his enterprises in the Story big Swiss april 17 How. Ever it occurs to me that perhaps. Like Many other men who operate and Man age an organization such is ivjikro., has capitalized on his obviously exuberant personality which is very Fine and Good. But when the great Man passes on there is usually a vacuum left in the organization and. The Good that micros and others like it has spread through the years stands a Good Chance of dying a silent and unceremonious death unless another " vibrant personality is ready and Willingto take Over. On the other hand perhaps theauthor was Overly impressed with m Duttweiler and the secret of micros Success lies not in Duttweiler himself but in the efficiency of the. Organization he started and the efficiency and integ Rity of the people who work for him. Incidentally m. Duttweiler and his organization prove there is room i Europe today for big business despite.
