With John L. Lewis As Chauffeur
00 Head Questions Rider
About College Executives
Can hitchkinging be profitable
Speaking from a journalist's
viewpoint, Robert H. Jordan '43,
can give an affiimative reply to
that question.
Last Friday night, Bob was
stranded on a lonely corner just
east . of Harrisburg, enroute to his
home in Allentown. When pros
pects seemed the slimmest for him,
a sleek, maroon Buick pulled up
to the curb.'
- Jordan leaped for the door, and
without looking at the driver
threw his bags into the rear of the
car and climbed in. Although his
hat was pulled down over his eyes
and his face was partially covered
by 'a muffler, Jordan noticed a
striking resemblance between the
driver and John L. Lewis, presi
dent of the CIO..
Although• Bob was struck by the
similarity, he dismissed it from
