Most eligible of these is a newcomer to weekend pages fellow by the name of John Hanlon i Nick the greek Doug foot Page 10 who established his eligibility in hem rouble Belgium last february. Tall handsome and unmarried is what the belgian girls said of him. It seems that while he was a major with the 101st airborne division during the bulge Hanlon was trapped in the Bastogne pocket. To camouflage members of i battalion in the Snow Hanlon borrowed 48 bed sheets from hem rouble housewives and promised to return them. Three years later he did. On february 21, Hanlon rang the hem rouble Church Bell passed out 740 sheets was kissed on both Cheeks and voted homme be plus eligible by the grateful feminine population. That we figure puts him a Long Way out in front of the rest of us and we Are Happy to know that he is firmly committed to covering stories in lower Bavaria Switzerland and Wembley stadium London for the rest of the summer. Dan Deluce is a elusive traveler who is Likely to Cable in to weekend s foreign desk from Ostrow Mazowiecki one Day and Curacao the next. So it was when we received Brooklyn on the Tigris reporter in route Page 17. Only a couple of Days before our own Italy editor Betty Luros had bumped into Deluce in Cairo s Shepheard Shotel. Over a couple of suffering. Bastards an alcoholic concoction described on Page 14 Cairo Stopover Deluce passed out the secret for the Deluce Martini three , one part dry vermouth one anchovies. Or. De Luce s associate press colleague. Fred Snyder on Wisconsin. On Wisconsin Page 4who stays pretty close to Madi son accepts no responsibility for the Deluce cocktail. Weekend s cover and the Story wan see sailors on pages 11, 12 and 13 Are Ina measure the result of an item in this department which de scribed the conversion of Dan Farson from writer to photographer. Not to be outdone writer Ralph Harwood dusted off his own Leica and joined forces in Berlin with Erich Engel Captain h. C. Potter of the signal corps and de Haaker Abc Broad Caster. Faced with this invasion into his own territory weekend chief photographer Hans Hubman has asked for a month s leave of absence to write seven part serial. _. Likes television sir. I spent a Damn Fine two hours last night Reading some Back issues of week end. Your Magazine provides a Type of background news about the european command none of the u. S. Mags offer i except your Stock army patting Sto Ries. Your round up on television recently television it s. Here May 8by the Way was not Only accurate Butmore colourful and informative than any other wrap up on the subject i Veseen. Bob Rodgers a Pixner York. Traven Newton sir what is this silly business about  and l. Newton this Over the weekend May 8 transcends even Cheju senility i have Learned to expect of your Magazine. O. L. Perkin Bremen sir a. The Only thing that is puzzling me is How anybody could believe for a moment that the picture you have re produced could be that of Traven Traven must be at least 60 years old judging by the fact that his books started to appear in Germany 30 years ago. Francis f. Dob new York. Sir " a have just seen the film the treas ure of Sierra Madre which weekend May 8 said was written by b.  May be More stupid than i am willing to admit but your discussion of the connection Between b. Traven and Lawrence Newton in the same Issue left me with the distinct impression there might be More than one phoney among weekend authors. Now Tell me frankly did Lawrence Newton write the Sierra Madre movie and b. Traven the Tele vision article mighty Good by the Way or were they both written by another one of your pseudonyms namely Menown kampf s Morton Gudebrod Evan Williams ,.stuttgart sir just after i read Over the weekend was driving in the Odenwald and picked up a hitch hiker who i would swear was a spitting image of both b. Traven and l. Newton. Don t Tell me there Are three such look alikes. Ernest l. Smith Berlin i j.  sir for your information b. Traven worked with me As a Luftschitz Wache on Steinstrasse Here in 1944. He was a that time writing a new novel about Mexico which i read. His leading character by the Way was an american who was left behind by general win Field Scott during the . War with Mexico whose name was Lawrence Newton. The last time i saw Traven was during an air raid he was standing on a Steinstrasse roof jotting Dow notes on the Back of a ration ticket. Helmuth Wolff Shalle / i have been Reading b. Traven what i could find of his to read for 15 years and i must confess i find nothing of the Quality of his writing in the work of your Lawrence Newton. In Well read european circles which i know Traven is considered a better than average creator of action stories. I find Newton As published in weekend somewhat arrogant somewhat unconscious of the meaning of words and something Les than  de mural Zurich can Lawrence Newton be contacted stateside Robert l.
