People Really
Are Honest
OAKLAND, Calif., lift—“I must
have been like an absent-minded
professor,” said the man who left
his $15,000 life savings in a New
York hotel room and then could
n’t find his hotel.
Maxim Radin, 79, a barber in
California for 50 years, was to
sail for his native Yugoslavia with
his savings in a battered linen
valise.
Radin arrived in New York a
week ago and checked in at the
Hotel Ashley. He paid $12 for the
two day’s rent, unpacked and
went for a walk.
“Then I couldn’t find my way
back,” he told newsmen Monday
night. “I couldn't even remem
ber the name of the hotel.”
He wandered around New York
for two days looking for the Hotel
Ashley. He went to police. They
drove him around until he spotted
what he thought was his hotel.
But what he thought was his
room was bare.
Radin was convinced he had
been robbed of his valise con
taining $11,067 in traveler’s
checks, $3,800 in cash, $600 in
$20 gold pieces, a bill of sale for
an Oakland apartment building,
his passport and steamship tick
ets.
The dejected Radin had enough
cash in a money belt to fly back
to Oakland.
“We had no idea what had hap
pened to him.” said Michael Funk,
manager of the Hotel Ashley.
“He had told us he was going
back to Yugoslavia to die.”
Radin, unmarried, has no rela
tives except in Belgrade, capital
of Yugoslavia.
Funk took Radin’s luggage into
a storage room and rented the
room to Mr. and Mrs. James La
bodie of Winnetka, 111., and their
sons, 11 and 13. The boys found
the valise under the bed.
| “I didn’t know people were that
honest,” said Radin when report
ers reached him in an Oakland
Hotel. “Now I’ll start all over
again.”
