Merck sets his own public responsibilities as high as his company's. Before World War II, he served (unpaid) on the Munitions Board's Chemical Advisory Committee. At the height of the war, he also directed all the Government's sprawling research on biological warfare (for which he was later awarded the Medal for Merit). Merck still makes frequent trips to Washington as a consultant to Defense Secretary Lovett. His public-duty commitments range from his local zoning board, his local hospital and state chamber of commerce, to the executive council of the American Cancer Society...
...travel agency executive in Seattle. A Finnish army veteran, Jarvinen came to New York in 1941, enlisted in the U.S. Army in 1943, later worked in the immigration service and as a seaman before going into the travel agency line. For the past six years, he has been an unpaid, occasional tipster of the Central Intelligence Agency...
...Other Winchells. The busiest of these unpaid, unsung legmen, as the Post tells it, are Pressagents Ed Weiner, Curt Weinberg and Irving Hoffman. Weiner is the columnist's "lobbyist, contact-man, straight-man-about-town"; Hoffman is a columnist for the Hollywood Reporter; Weinberg was Singer Josephine Baker's drum beater until the Stork Club incident, then Weinberg hastily dropped her. Also chased from the Winchell closet was another figure that few other ghosts even knew about: Herman Klurfeld, 35, who sticks close to his Long Island home and is paid a reported $250 a week by Winchell...
...answer to the shrill tones of a sharp-eyed Chicago lawyer named Abraham Teitelbaum. Attorney Teitelbaum, who described his late client Al Capone as "one of the most honorable men I ever knew," is in tax trouble with the Government-a matter of at least $130,000 in unpaid income taxes. It looked as if this trouble would be settled without much difficulty, he testified last week, until two men named Frank Nathan and Burt K. Naster set out to help him. Nathan, of Miami Beach, is a gambler, chiseler and influence peddler; Naster, of Hollywood, Fla., is a former...
...prepared, asked the House of Commons to re-establish the Home Guard. His reasoning: as the U.S. Air Force's principal overseas atom-bomber base, Britain might one day be the target of massive Russian paratroop attacks. Churchill's government proposed to recruit 125,000 unpaid, part-time volunteers as the nucleus of a force which could be expanded in wartime to 900,000 men. Their duties: to protect arms factories, airfields and fuel plants against saboteurs and parachutists. Each man would be issued a steel helmet and either a rifle or Sten gun, but, unlike the World...
