UN Apples Need Picking
United Nations Hall. Flushing, N.Y. (UP) - The United Nations needs some energetic small boys but whether it will get them is another question.
Outside the huge UN General Assembly hall there are 31 crab apple trees laden with ripe, red fruit. But there is nobody to harvest the crop.
UN officials said they had no small boys available for the job. They revealed that several members of the UN Secretariat staff had stooped to pick apples off the ground. But no one had shed his dignity and shinneyed up an apple tree.
Back in the days before the United Nations, the New York park department left the problem of plucking crab apples to energetic neighborhood boys. But now Flushing Meadows—and its bumper apple crop—is so well guarded that the boys can't get nest the front rates.
Maybe the delegates are too dignified. Or maybe they've never tasted crab apple jelly.
Recession Danger Minimized
Washington—(UP)—The Agriculture department said today that the danger of a depression is much less now than after World War I but that it would be "rash" to dismiss the possibility completely.
Frank Begley, chief security officer of the UN, disclaimed all responsibility for the bumper apple crop. The UN is merely a tenant of the city of New York, he explained, not the guardian of its apple trees.
It added, however, that if a depression were to follow the present sharp upward spiral in prices, it probably would be only short-lived and would be followed by a rapid recovery to higher economic levels than prewar.
