THE. NEWPERRY SUN. NEWBERRY. S. C LOVE AT LAKE SUCCESS ■|»HE UNITED NATIONS is mutf- ^ ing a big chance. It failed to put love on the agenda, with the Cre tan disturbance over the elope ment of 28-year-old Tassoula Patrak- ageorgi crying out for action. Tass oula, daughter of a Liberal deputy, was whisked off to the mountains in knightly fashion by dashing Con •tantine Kephaloyannis, a member ©f the Conservatives. Something close to war followed. Disturbances are still going on. This column urges that the case be taken up by the security council at once so that for the first time love and romance may figure in its proceedings. So far they have never been mention ed. • • • Think how it would cheer the heartsick world, fed up with grim debates at Lake Success, to dis cuss via radio and video a crisis of the Romeo and Juliet type! With the agenda listing it as “Complaint of aggression in the Cretan moon light”! U.N. needs an asmosphere of orange blossoms, a mood of rice- throwing and distant strains of “Here Comes the Bride” and “This Can’t Be Love, Because It Feels So Good.” It could even hold moon- Hght sessions and use a balcony scene. • • • The elopement and marriage of Tassoula and Constantine brought out the army. It caused disturb ances all over Crete. Tassoula’s father declared the romance an act of aggression. The bridegroom’s supporters are for a fight to restore love and kisses to their proper place in a war-torn globe. We want the Security Council to seat both sides. How will Russia stand? Probably against love and romance as the crude pastimes of the ruling classes. Wall street and Warren Austin. Mr. Malik might charge Foster Dulles with starting the whole bufiness. (If we were Tassie, the happy bride, we would demand that Malik be kept out so her case could be ruled on while she was still young.) • • • Consider what a relief it would be to hear simultaneous and con secutive interpretations of such im mortal pleas as “Come live with me and be my love” and “But soft! What light through yonder window breaks? It is the east and Juliet is the sun!” instead of “As is well known, the despicable vassals of these bloodthirsty warmongers, etc.” • • • We repeat, this is U. N.’s grand chance. The world is sick of con flicts based on hatreds, jealousies, frontiers and parallels. Let’s hear something like “Marry me now, my sweet, and tell your folks later” translated into three languages. Make Irving Berlin or Cole Porter chairman for the month. Now is the time for United Nations to drive Tassoula Patrakageorgi back be hind the 38th parallel of parental frigidity and insist that “fair Ve rona” be kept under the rule of Will Shakespeare! • • • Belated story from the Malik din ner to his colleagues; one of the Russian delegates seemed unneces sarily noisy drinking his soup and somebody asked, “I hope we don’t get simultaneous and consecutive translations.” • • • The New Haven road has installed in 21 depots slot machine which for a quarter issue $25,000 insurance policies on any one railroad trip. Do you get paid off if you collapse in the attempt to find a red cap? • . • • Shudda Haddim is sick again. He missed Hawkeye at $109 and Gon dolier at $73. “In front of me on the way to the window there is a cop and right behind me is a detec tive. And I don’t get no hawkeye hunch!” he sobs. “I let Gondolier get away, too. Right after lunch at a place called the Venetian Ta vern! And the very morning of the race my wife tells me we are in vited to spend a week end on a canal boat with her sister!” • • • ••Lobsters Gifted With Homing In stincts”—headline. We had a homing lobster for years. It was great fun taking it away out in the wide open spaces, pinning a message on its larger claw and releasing it. The results were incredible. (P. S.—The lobster was boiled. So were we.) * * * Mr. Vishinsky, it is now reported. Will return to United Nations meet ings. This will make Mr. Malik seem the soul of restraint, the mod el of truth and the very glass of courtesy. • • • Some folks are calling that site of the Security Council meetingr “Lake Slugfest.” * • • These are days when the Cleve land and Detroit ball clubs must be considering complaints of aggres- Presidential Powers S OME YEARS AGO Harry S. Truman, now President of the United States, was engaged in the operation of a men’s furnishing goods store in Kansas City. In that small business venture, he was not successful, but he did not have back of him the billions now being produced by government printing presses. Since the days of that unsuc cessful business venture, Presi dent Truman has demonstrated that he ean be successful in politics, that he has acquired the “how” of garnering votes. Despite that experience in busi ness, congress has placed in his hands the opportunity of heading the greatest business institutions of the nation, backed by billions of government money, should he wish to use it. Under the authority that has been given him, he could head United States Steel, General Mo tors, General Electric, and all oth- -r American industries, large and mall. He has been provided with nore authority over the American >eople than has ever been granted my other American President. It includes authority for which he had not asked. But many Republicans and southern Demo crats were anxious to give him all the rope possible, with the expectation, and possibly the hope, that with It he would hang his political career. And with the authority he has, he could do that if he attempted to use It indiscreetly, as they be lieve he will. They did not consider him big enough for the job they had conferred. The leaders of his own party are convinced that he fully measures up to the job, and are not fearful of any mistakes he might make. What he may do with the powers he has will depend on circumstances and his ability to judge conditions. He may use the authority to seize and operate industry if he consid ers it essential to our prepera- tion for war, or In the conduct of total war, if that should come. It is his judgment that is the noose in the rope he has been handed. Should his judgment be that' gov ernment operation of American in dustry is essential, it could be that congress, inspired by ulterior mo tives, has created a gargantua monster who can destroy American industry, free enterprise system and the chance for employment for our workers. This is possible, but not probable. What is more probable is that those who have wished for the President’s political destruction have made it possible for him to succeed himself, or to select his successor. The President is fully acquainted with the effect on na tional elections of the votes of an army of bureaucrats. Under the authority that has been given him, he can add whole new divisions to the present bureaucratic army. The President is given a ration card cashable at the federal treasury, that each bureaucrat, his relatives and friends, will vote for these who provide the job. That increased army of bureaucrats is the gravest danger congress has created by con ferring upon the President authori ties for which he did not ask. Harry S. Truman may still be a novice in business. He may not prove a capable head for American industry, but as President he is not a novice in politics, he overlooks no politi cal opportunities. It is not to be expected that he will over look the advantages to be found in additional divisions in the bureaucratic army. It means the control of elections through job-purchased votes. Congress in its anxiety to get back home, and look after political fences has repudiated its respon sibilities, the job for which it was elected, and in passing the eco nomic control bill, has placed the burden of decision upon the Presi dent and given him power through which he could for a time make of us a Fabian socialistic state by the nationalizing of all of our industry that could be considered essential to our war effort. But even a bu reaucratic socialistic dictatorship could not be worse than an always wrangling, never-get-anywhere con gress. The people are of last con sideration. Our primary election system does not, as it was expected, give us the rest available material. * A number of nations promised manpower for the Korean scrap, but the number that have been made good on such promises have been almost nil. The United States is the policeman for the United Nations. — So far as I can recall, the Rus sian Reds have never kept any promise they have made. But we keep on soliciting their promises. * The road to peace is a two-way highway. DEPARTMENT OF STATE 'Good Neighbor' Policy Proves Successful in This Hemisphere By WALTER A. SHEAD This is the fourth of s series of six articles on the state depart ment and its personnel by Walter A. Shead, Western Newspaper Union’s Washington correspondent. Washington, D. C.—There can be no doubt but that the foreign policy of the United States, as can led out by the state department, toward Latin and South Anrerica today has brought about stronger ties of friendship than has ever before ex isted. The dollar diplomacy of by-gone eras has given away to the “good neighbor” policy of former Secre tary of State Cordell Hull, and this has been carried on and strength ened by successive secretaries of state Edward Stettinius, James Byrnes, George C. Marshall and Dean Acheson. Through the Pan-American Union, the inter-American affairs institute, as a result of non-aggression pacts and economic pacts of Mexico City and Rio de Janeiro, Bogota and Havana, there has come to be mu tual cooperation and respect be tween the American republics. The bureau of inter-American af fairs in the state department is headed by Edward G. Miller, Jr., bom in Puerto Rico, a graduate of Yale and Harvard, a former law partner of John Foster Dulles in New York, and who speaks Spanish and Portuguese as easily as he speaks English. In a recent address, Secretary Acheson said that as a result of Miller's operation of the inter-American affairs bureau “our relations with the southern hemi sphere are on a basis which I think they have never been before. They are on a sensible, sound basis of mutual advantage, and both they and we know that we both really mean business when we talk and when we talk, we talk business.” The main object of our foreign policy in the Americas is to main tain the security of our nation and of the hemisphere.

Not only the show, but its theme song, immediately became popular; in fact, so many people wanted a re cording of the song that a record has been made by the group that sings it on the NBC Wednesday night broadcasts. CoUege presi dents and faculty members have praised the series; students lament the impossibility of finding a college president like Colman. Joe Wilman, whose records in American Bowling Congress compe tition stamp him as (Hie of the greatest bowlers of the decade, has signed to star in “King of the Ten pins’’, of Columbia’s “World of Sports” short subjects series. U-I's Universal City covered a total of 256 acres before the recent purchase of a 140-acre tract adjoin ing the studio in the San Fernando Valley; makes it the largest self- contained film plant in the world.

It is our policy to strengthen the or ganization of the American states within the framework of the Unite'd Nations as the most effective ex pression of law and order in this hemisphere. o o o OUR FOREIGN POLICY with re spect to Germany has been sty mied for the time because of the Russian aggressive policy. But from the first we have supported a uni fied German government based on free and democratic elections. It is our policy to rebuild Germany economically with the help of the Germans themselves, but to keep from them the potentials of making war. As an occupying power it is our objective to prohibit institutions and activities dangerous to peace and to encourage a truly democrat ic society which can become again closely integrated with the free na tions of Europe. In the near east, Africa and south Asia our policy is to offer economic and technical, assistance if these people want it. Also, we are ready, if they want our aid to help them solve their complex problems of in ternal, political and social life which such nations as India, Par- kistan, the East Indian Republic and other newly formed nations In that area face as a result of the dislocation and disturbances fol lowing the war. The foreign economic policy of the United States is aimed at break ing down barriers to world trade and to increasing the international flow of investment capital through the reciprocal trade agreements program, the proposed international trade organization and the point four program. The Marshall plan, the North At lantic pact, the military aid pro gram and the Truman doctrine in Greece and Turkey have withered Communist hopes for over-running the European continent. Our sup port of the so-called Schuman plan, it is believed, will end their hope of communizing western Germany. It may have appeared that we had neglected or abandoned Asia and China, but as a matter-of-fact, negotiations had been going on for some time with a number of nations for economic and technical assist ance, particularly in the field of agriculture, before the invasion of Korea. One of the things that has been lacking in United States foreign policy is an effective world informa tion service to successfully combat the Russian propaganda of lies and deceit.

Wilkinson a ttE DAY last spring a transconti nental air liner got off its beam over the Rocky mountains and smashed up against a rocky peak. It was a few hours before the dis aster was suspected, and then the airports could only guess at the lo cation of the wreckage. Glen Owens, sitting alone in his cabin on the slopes of White Crest valley, heard the announcement ov er his dry cell set Young Glen’s cab in was located on the course of the liner’s flight and earlier in the evening he had heard sounds that now he remembered as being rather queer. Glen strapped on his skis, loaded a pack with provisions and supplies and set off up the valley. Three hours later he saw a light and came to the wreckage. Two people were dead, and another was so badly in jured that unless he had medical attention pretty quick he too would die. On an improvised sled, Glen pulled the injured man to the near est town and doctor. Glen Owens not only received a reward, but he became, overnight, a figure of national reputation. Three days after this a man from Hollywood, Calif., arrived in Crest, looked up Glen and offered to pay him $500 a week to make a moving picture. Glen smiled and shook his head. “Nope,” he drawled, “I always wanted to be a legerde- mainist, and now with this re ward money I reckon I got my chance.” “Good gosh, man. It will take 20 weeks to make this picture. That’s $10,000. Do you realize that!” “It’s a lot of money,” Glen agreed, BROADWAY AND MAIN STREET 'Israel Revisited' Answer to What New Nation Is Like By BILLY ROSE Early in 1949, my missus and I took a trip around the world, and one of the countries we got to see was Israel. At the time, many of the streets of Tel Aviv, Haifa and Jerusalem were still criss-crossed with barbed wire, and the roads leading through the hills of Judea were littered v/ith burned-out trucks. Nevertheless, thanks to an old Chewy and a pair of even older legs, I managed to see most of this tiny country, and when I left it a few weeks later I was pretty ex cited about what I had seen. When we got back to New York, my pld boss, Bernard M. Baruch, asked me to put my enthusiasm in my pocket and try to estimate Is rael’s chances of survival in this highly competitive world. I told him that one swing around the globe wasn’t enough to make an econo mic expert out of a Broadway jumping- jack, but that I had come away from Is rael with the gen eral impression that its people were (a) intelligent, (b) tough as nails, and Billy Rose (c) prepared to work like all get-* out to make a go of their new livesJ “A business or a nation with those qualities usually gives a good ac count of itself,” said Mr. Baruch. SINCE MY VISIT, I’ve heard nothing to change my snap ap praisal of Israel's chances. On the other hand. I’ve read darned little on the subject which could be classed as good objective reporting. Most of the favorable stuff was too favorable — obviously the work of men who were out to make as good a case for the new nation as possi ble. And as for the dissenters — well, as was to be expected, most of them sounded as if they Were carrying a 2,000-year-old chip on their shoulders. Recently m copy of a new book by Ralph McGill—-"Israel Re visited," published in Atlanta, Go,, last month by Tupper and Love—showed up on my desk and l began to tbstmb through it out of a sense of duty. But what started as duty qttickly became compulsion, for McGill, . editor of one of the South’s most trustworthy papers, The Atlanta Constitution, had obvi ously gone to Israel with an open mind and crammed it with facts and figtsres before making it up. I’ve met Mr. McGill once or twice, and before I was halfway through his book I found myself wondering how this soft-spoken and hard-head ed gentleman from Georgia had come to write such an incisive and insightful commentary on the com plicated events now shaping up at the far end of the Mediterranean. • * * 1 GOT TO THINKING about it and, as I hunch it, the answer is triple pronged: First, McGill is an Irishman, which means that while he has a lively sense of justice in general he has no axiom to grind about Israel in particular. Second, he is first, foremost and fastidious ly a newspaperman, avaricious for facts but plenty leary of special pleading propaganda. And third, he has a long record as a fighting Southern liberal, and once he’s got ten his facts straight he’s not one to by-pass those touchy areas where even angels fear to tiptoe. When l finished reading "Is rael Revisited," I was, of course, tickled to find that McGill’s conclusions jibed untb mine, but that’s neither here nor there. The important thing is that, without pulling any punch es, be has written a book about this controversial little country which one can read without prejttdice or without suspect ing the author of same. Here, at last, is a meticulous and meaningful answer to the often-ask ed question, 4 ‘What’s Israel really like?” Then he fashioned a sled, using his skis as runners, twist ed some saplings Into the shape of snowshoes and wove them with twigs. “but suppose folks liked me? Then I’d have to stay out*there and keep making pictures.” “You’ll be a dumbbell if you don’t grab this chance.” “Maybe,” said Glen good-natured ly, “I’m a dumbbell already.” “Glen! What is the matter? Last summer you wanted to start a dude ranch down in Arizona, but you didn’t have any money. So you de cided to go trapping fbr one winter so you could save enough money to buy a half-interest in a ranch and we could get married. And now you’re offered $10,000 and you mum ble something about being a leger —leger—whatever it is.” "Legerdemainist,” Glen told her patiently. LL of which made swell newspa per copy. The reporters ate it up. So did readers. If Glen had been famous before, he was twice as famous now. The next week three movie pro ducers arrived on the scene. One of them offered a flat price of $25,- 000 for a single picture. Leah Conroy was almost in tears. “Glen, for goodness’ sake, try and understand what this means. In an other month you'll be forgotten. It’s your chance. Do you want to be a trapper all your life?” “Thirty thousand!” said the movie magnate desperately. Glen heaved a deep sigh. “O. K. If that’s the way you want It, Leah!” So Glen Owens went to Hollywood and made a moving picture. Glen returned to Crest, bearing his $30,000, and the next day He and Leah journeyed down into Arizona* Within a week they had purchased a ranch. They were married in the ranch patio, and left immediately for a honeymoon to Honolulu. It was while they were on the boat that Leah asked the inevitable question. “Well, honey, it was like this,” Glen replied. “That offer of $10,000 was good, but we needed $15,000 to buy a ranch of our own, so I fig ured if I turned down the first offer folks would think I was daffy enough to make me more famous, and the movie folks would offer me more money. Which they did.” “Glen Owens, what is a leger—?” “I dunno,” Glen grinned. “And I figured nobody else would, either. All I know is I saw it written out once and copied if off so’s I’d be sure to get the spelling right in case I wanted to use it” Crochet Beret SPEEDY LONfrUSTMG refirf far Don’t ’dose’ yourself.
