European Stars and Stripes (Newspaper) - May 21, 1977, Darmstadt, Hesse                                Page is the stars and stripes saturday May 21, 1977 Jimmy new York French president Valery Giscard d a string yesterday morning called Ralph Turchio of Howard Beach a Tish. What is he Tough Ralph shouted. Ralph his wife Eleanor said. Ralph nothing he said. Ralph began to Bounce up and Down on the Edge of the bed and shout at the television set on which Giscard had just said of Kennedy Airport. The Airport is on the sea. And the sea is crowded by fishes not by  Kennedy Airport happens to Border on Howard Beach and Giscard might know that better than anybody in the world. Howard Beach is the reason the concorde the Anglo French plane that makes great noises at those times when it is Able to Fly has not been allowed to land at Kennedy. The people of Howard Beach cringing at the noise they now hear from the planes will not take on any new louder sounds. This makes All of France very mad. So Here yesterday morning was Giscard on the Abc television station. He sneered at reporter Tom Brokaw and he created an International incident by calling everybody in Howard Beach a fish. Your plane is a dead lox Ralph Turchio yelled Back at Giscard on the television in his House. Let him live Here for a while Eleanor Turchio said. The Guy makes threats Ralph said. You hear this Guy let the plane in or . Let him go threaten his own  Ralph you got to go to work his wife said. Ill go to work on this Guy Ralph said pointing at the television. I want to Tell him one thing some Day. I want to Tell him in person that his plane is a piece of when i left Ralph s House and walked Down to the subway station the tracks run above the ground at Howard Beach i passed by Sal s meat Market. It is a Butcher shop with new sawdust on the floor everyday and High stools for the women to sit on and talk and still be Able to peer Over the counter and watch what the Butcher is doing with the order. When i walked in yesterday morning Eileen Mccarthy was an Early Cus Tomer in the place. Where you been John where d you gel the Tan. Out picking losers she said to an other customer. When she saw me she said. You see what the Frenchman that Frozen face this morning says about us on the Tele vision Calls us fish. You see him looks like a Mackerel he Calls us  what Are you going to do about it i asked her. Why am i supposed to do anything about it she said. We re supposed to have people to do that. Where Are they the pres ident he sold us out already. We got a Gover nor. What does he do Carey Why does t he open his Mouth i Don t know where he is any More. Letting some bum Tell us we re nothing but Little fish and the plane is going to land no matter what we say you think Beame would say something too. People in his own City get attacked and he ducks. Nobody cares. We re not fools1. I think this thing is All  she could be right of course. If there is anything that is becoming evident it is that somewhere perhaps everywhere the people of Howard Beach Are being sold out by their own politicians and the businessmen whose relationships with other people Are based not on affection or obligation but Only on Money. No one knows what the French an their British partners arc spending in Washington and new York to get the concorde into Kennedy Airport thundering into the lives of people who know Long before their leaders that this plane is simply a matter of technology running wild a Symbol of the depletion of our environment. So yesterday morning in the Butcher shop i said the hell with it let me try this Giscard again. Let me speak to this Man who can speak so lovingly of a machine and so disdainfully of human beings. Last month in Paris 1 challenged him to a Duel and he would t even see me. Then yesterday he goes on television and insults a whole neigh boyhood of my City. I got out of the Butcher shop and went to a phone and i called up gis card. His phone number in Paris is 261-5100,and i got it right away. First there was a woman who said,"ooohli." i want to speak to president Giscard d Estwing he called my people fish i said to her. She put me onto a Man who said  i told him the same thing. Then another Man came to the phone who gave his name As Monsieur Arnaud i want to speak to Giscard d Estwing i  am speaking to you for him m. Arnaud said. Why did he Call us fish i said. He never said that m. Arnaud said. Yes he did. I saw it on the television in Ralph Turchio s House this morning that is a distortion. I was there when president Giscard d Estwing gave his Inte View to the television. He did not say  i was in Ralph Turchio s bedroom and he said it there but i was directly with president gis card and he never said  did he say fish yes but he said that As a joke. That was a joke by the  joke your president has no humor. If he said something he meant it. And he has allot Howard Beach  they cannot be upset. He never said such a  do you know what Howard Beach is yes Ibave heard this  i am glad you know it because that s the place that s going to put your concorde plane into a museum where is Giscard i want to Tell him this  he did not say what you say he  what have i got a Drain in my Bead of course he did. Put him on the  one or two More shouts into the phone audit was Over. But it was disturbing. For the past two weeks now humourless demanding French and British politicians and technocrats have been All Over new York seeing politicians and businessmen at expensive luncheons. And every place you go in new York you hear that they Are hearing Success that americans in Power Are going to see to it that people who live around Kennedy air port Are to have no Choice but to suffer under this most meaningless of All technology a plane that gets you across the Atlantic in less than four hours and whose sound wave scan scratch at the ear Drums until there is pain. Giscard must know the concorde matter is fixed. Nobody could be As haughty As he was on television yesterday without holding something in his pocket 10 a York Nurt Cylc Utooun across1 basis of potash5 Amazon estuary8 lawyer s group12 leaning Tower of unit it to talk Slang 19 sir Anthony 16 torn17 prior to u this goes with Jerk or Limen " then there were none 20 Domestic cat 21 narrow Shi Channel 23 High note25 take out 28 Type obverse 3z assert33 Verdi heroine34 befall 37 Type offing 39 fortify40 he wrote the raven"41 fertilizer 44 excellence46 invisible vapor50 piece out 51 sprite52 Husk of grain53 narrow inlet54 heraldic bearing55 reclined avg.
