IMMIGRANTS ON BOARD (HE WAS POLISH) RAN UP AND DOWN
EXCITEDLY, POINTING AND CRYING OUT: "LOOK! LOOK!
THERE'S THE STASIU OF LIBERTY!"
Submitter comment:
DAN BROUGHT THIS BACK FROM SAN FRANCISCO WHERE HE
ATTENDED A SCIENCE-FICTION CONVENTION IN SEPTEMBER, 1964.

TACTFUL, AND THAT NO ONE COULD POSSIBLY BE HURT.
