The Babe's 46 And Satisfied With Life -- George Herman Ruth, the great Bambino himself, celebrated his 46th birthday at home today and said he was well satisfied with life. The autograph seekers still take up a lot of his time. The Babe's holding a cake given him by two song-writing friends, May Breen and Peter De Rose. In background is well-worn easy chair.
