NO GIN RUMMY!
PROTEST TO SECURITY COUNCIL (Rec. 10 a.m.) NEW YORK, July 25. Colonel Hodgson (Australia) protested in the Security Council to-day, against a secretariat orddr forbidding the chauffeurs of delegates from playing gin rummy in their waiting room. He asked permission to refer to the matter, at the opening of to-day’s Balkans debate. He said: “These chauffeurs have to wait in a small room, without airconditioning, without water and without books, and now they cannot even have a five-cent gin rummy game. That is undemocratic.” The Assistant - Secretary - General, Ivan Kerno, said that he would see what could be done about it.
