Milwaukee OLD HAT In 1944, Ted Bergmann, now president of Parkson Adv., New York, and Harry Algus, now director of public relations for National Telefilm Assoc., New York, were -fellow officers, serving in Paris with the public relations section of Supreme Headquarters, Allied Expeditionary Forces (SHAEF). Mr. Bergmann borrowed an officer's cap from Mr. Algus and for reasons now vague forgot to return it. Last week, Mr. Bergmann was rummaging through some of his war mementos at his home in Manhasset, L. L, and found the cap bearing Mr. Algus' name. He turned the cap over to William Koblenzer, a Manhasset neighbor and an executive at NTA, who forwarded it to a puzzled but appreciative Mr. Algus. Page 22 • December 23, 1957 Broadcasting
