He’s a One-Armed Paper Hanger
AP Newsfeatures
ORLANDO, Fla.—John C. Sula
tycki of Orlando is as busy as a
one-armed paper hanger.
The 67-year-old scion of a Po
lish noble family is a one-armed
paper hanger.
He’s followed that trade ever
since he (feme to the United States
in 1905 and found trouble getting
work because of his handicap.
In desperation, he finally hung
out a sign at the rooming house
where he was staying in New
York advertising himself as a
one-armed paper hanger and
painter. It was only after he was
awarded a contract to redecorate
some apartments that he began
worrying over how he would man
age a job he never had tried be
fore. But it was easier than he
thought.
“I just figured out how to do it
and everything fitted rigkt in
place,” he said.
He’s still at it and going strong,
refusing to accept social security .
payments in spite of his 67 years. ]
"As long as I'm able to work, |
I’m not going to take social secur
ity money from the government,”
he declares. “Only when I'm flat
on my back and there’s NO other
way."

‘Pumpkin Papers’
Pliolograelser
O i
Confesses
ALBANY, N.Y., (.4^—Felix A.
Inslerman confessed to Sen. Jo
seph R. McCarthy (R-Wis) Satur
day that he was the photographer
who filmed the famed “pumpkin
papers” for Whittaker Chambers’
Communist spy ring.
Inslerman, 44, for the first time
j made public his part in the Alger
Hiss case in testimony before Mc
! Carthy, sitting as a one-man Sen
I ate Investigations subcommittee
at a public hearing here.
The sessions broke up in a row
when McCarthy ordered two em
ployees of the General Electric
Co. plant at Schenectady thrown
out of the courtroom.
Inslerman said he had photo
g’ ^phed documents bearing the
names of “Grew” and “Bullitt.”
The references apparently were
to Joseph Clark Grew, formerly
U.S. ambassador to Japan, and
William C. Bullitt, former envoy
to France.
Chambers produced, before the
trial of Hiss, a series of microfilm
copies of State Department docu
ments. He led FBI men to where
they were concealed in a hollow
pumpkin on his farm in Maryland.
The “pumpkin papers” were
the principal exhibits for the pros
ecution in Hiss’ two trials on
charges of perjury.
Inslerman said he had been
trained in Moscow to photograph
documents and to receive the In
ternational Morse code.
On his return to this country in
December, 1935, Inslerman said,
he was contacted by a Soviet
agent named “Ben” whom he
could not identify further.
House Public Works
Group Hears Plan To
Tame Juneau Creek
WASHINGTON, fvP)—A project
aimed at taming damaging floods
on Gold Creek as it rushed thru
Juneau, Alaska, has been de
scribed to a House Public Works
subcommittee.
Army engineers said it would
protect an area of about 50 city
blocks from periodic overflows of
Gold Creek, which tumbles out
of the mountains directly back to
the city.
The project consists of putting
slabs on the banks of the stream
and heavy stone in the bottom for
about 1,700 feet.
Higher Passenger Fares
Across North Atlantic
Reluctantly Approved
WASHINGTON, MV-'The United
States has reluctantly approved
airline plans for higher passenger
fares across the North Atlantic
this spring.
Representing the government,
the Civil Aeronautics Board said
that while it was going along with
the increase proposed at the traf
fic conference of the Internation
al Air Transport Assn. (IATA) in
Honolulu last N6vember, it is
“gravely concerned about the high
level of these fares, both tourist
and first class.”
The board said that “under
presently foreseeable circumstan
ces” it could see no basis for fur
ther increases beyond the one it
was approving.
The board also approved dozens
of other resolutions or detailed
agreements concerning routes all
over the world, adopted by the
airlines at Honolulu.
These included transpacific tour
ist fares effective April 1, the first
ever offered for Pacific travel
west of Honolulu. As an example,
the round-trip tourist fare be
tween the West Coast and Tokyo
•will be $878.40, compared with the
first class fee of $1,215.36.
