Gary Crosby
Wrestles With
Cheese Magnate
HOLLYWOOD, UP) — A flock of
celebrities showed up at a cock
tail party for Poet Carl Sandburg
Monday night, but most of them
missed the thrilling last act.
A wrestling match between
Bing Crosby’s son Gary and a
cheese company executive twice
his age.
John Geiger, 48, West Coast
head of a cheese firm that used
to sponsor Bing’s radio show,
said he walked up to young Cros
by — and:
“I told him who I was and
wanted to introduce my wife to
him. But all of a sudden we were
on the floor wrestling. He insulted
my wife.”
Said 24-year-old Gary: “I still
don’t know what happened. This
fellow just came up to me and
the first thing I know I’m wrest
ling on the floor with him.”
The match had been in progress
less than a minute when bystand
ers — actor James Mason among
them — separated the combat
ants.
Neither was hurt, but Geiger
lost his tie.
The husky Crosby boy shook
hands with his taller but more
slender adversary before leaving.

The commission’s plenary session
convenes. November 4.
The economic journal Nihon
Keizai insisted “we must exam
ine the current west 175 parallel
itself . . . which we feel was im
posed upon us by the two coun
tries which then occupied Japan.”
The Sankei-Jiji, usually a
staunchly pro-American paper,
said “The American proposal to
move the demarcation line far
ther west is outrageous.
“It is ridiculous for Americans
to insist that all American stock
of salmon belong to them.”
In contrast, today’s committee
meeting, according to one mem
ber, was .conducted “in an ideal,
amicable and harmonious man
ner.”
Commission executive secre
tary Roy I. Jackson said the com
mittee’s purpose was merely to
“collect scientific evidence to be
presented to the commission. Then
the commission makes recommen
dations with regard to either con
firming or adjusting the line.”
Iwao Jufita, vice-president of
the Great Japanese Fisheries
Association and chairman of the
commission, said Sunday he has
not heard of reports the U. S.
wants the line moved farther
west. He said Japan favors “a
line that will take into consider
ation all factors.”
