NATURE OF MATTER---
There was once a school of philosophy which held that the only reality existed in the mind. A lot of people hooted, observing that the rock which broke a man's bones was a pretty solid illusion.
So far as we know rocks still break bones but it is becoming increasingly difficult to understand why scientists looking into the rock discovered it was a rather loose aggregation of molecules in a large amount of furthermore, they found . . . the only solidity was contained in the minute nucleus. . .
All right, we reflected that despite all this unimaginable nothingness something does remain, something small but hard that hurts. Now a super-microscope has pried into the innards of the nucleus and tells what it

All right, we reflected that despite all this unimaginable nothingness something does remain, something small but hard that hurts. Now a super-microscope has pried into the innards of the nucleus and tells what it found. More nothing. The nucleus is no pellet; it is another solar system shaped largely of immeasurable lonely distances.
The scientists still talk of particles—a solid something adrift in space. But this final dust, it would appear, may be only a defect in vision, spots before the rens. The dreamy philosophers are well on the way to triumph. Matter so hard to touch, so cruel to the unwary, is slowly proving to be a transient shadow, of ignorance perhaps.—(Detroit New)
THE BASIC ISSUE---
Vice President Nixon has been widely praised for his forthright declaration in his recent American Legion convention speech that former President Truman was right in sending American troops into Korea.
Said Nixon: "In the past I have had occasion to disagree with the former President of the United States, but on this issue President Truman was right, and he reserves credit for making the decision."
Although the sending of our troops into Korea was made an issue by some politicians and others, it seems to us that there could be little argument over the rightness of the action. If we were not to have a repetition of events such as occurred before, and led up to, World War II, then the only thing to do was to meet the Communist invasion of South Korea with force.
The real issue in the whole matter was not what was done in 1950 but what was not done in the several years immediately preceding. In particular, we refer to our failure to make it clear that we would forcibly resist any attack on South Korea and our further failure to be militarily prepared in the Far East for such an eventuality.
Of course, it's easy to second guess, but the Truman Administration was not without ample warning if the danger of a Communist attack. Hence, while Mr. Truman acted wisely in the crisis in 1950, he would hardly have had the crisis if he had been more alert in 1949.

SONGS OF A SONNETEER
BY R. LOUIS SCOTT
"TRIBAL ROSTER!"
Men comprise that part of the human race Who bull stocks by day and each evening chase Not-too-reluctant dames: it works out nice Just so long as they don't—get caught off base!
Woman—(Life's burden—and likewise, it's spice)—Proves something much other: one needs look twice Before, deciding she's tidy—or slut:
The dividing line is not quite precise!
Children—well, now, the saints preserve us, but—That's another angle: they brawl and strut Till one suspects illicit relations Twixt a boiler shop—and some misplaced nut!
A grand old race—but its complications Cause ulcers, or even—palpitations!

HURRICANE SEASON
WORLD UNREST
HOWDY! STRANGER
Few people like to be strangers, for life is more pleasant when we are among those we know and like. But in California where the influx of newcomers is greater than anywhere else in the world we have many strangers, many new residents who, temporarily know no one here.
In the spirit of good neighborliness, it is our duty and should be our pleasure, to help make these people feel at home. In other words, we should do for them what we would like to have done unto us under similar circumstances.
Othman's Views on Washington Situations
By FREDERICK C. OTHMAN
WASHINGTON—Sometimes, like today, being a reporter in Washington is so easy that I'm ashamed to take my money, even though Honest George Humphrey, Secretary of the Treasury, always is on the job to get his share. This time, you might say, he helped me earn it.
I meandered downtown at a bankerish hour, strolled over to the National Press Club and there plunked down $1.75 for lunch with Moneybags, himself. There were about 300 other people there, too, and we all ate small pieces of steak that had been cooked some time previously, peas, boiled potatoes, and apple pie with slivers of cheese on top.
The Secretary got his meal free, and since the rest of us luncheoners, were on expense accounts, I don't rightly know whether this meal could be called inflationary. So we finished the pie and our president introduced Humphrey as the man to whom President Elsenhowre said upon first meeting him: "Anyway, we part our hair in the same place."
Secretary Humphrey, who has no hair except around the far edges, laughed at that and then he made a speech about fiscal affairs, which sounded good to me. For one thing, fellow taxpayers, we all get a spring suit this coming year, or at least a new hat, from our Uncle Sam.
Say you pay $1,000 a year now in income taxes. Come January first, barring international catastrophes, Humphrey said this grah would be cut by about 10 percent and he did not mean maybe. That means a free hundred-dollar suit for every thousand-dollar taxpayer and I, for one, am grateful. I'm getting a little threadbare.
Humphrey, whose reputation as a business man in Cleveland is better known than his prowess as a public speaker, put it this way: "We ought to give back to the poor parts and when Humphrey his audience sat there open-mouthed, before giving round of asplause. His looked starry-eyed; they see hundred-dollar bills to expect.
The rest of the Secretary probably was more interested in bankers than the rest of earners but in general his Administration was striking the budget balanced and was making progress. He identified Eisenhower and Co., ing all out to make our honest and sound so we're incentive for saving it for putting our savings to use.
The steak-eaters then hit him a double fistful of many of which concerned ory of a Federal sales Secretary said he was stupid idea, along with 40 othersn't ready to say what he about it.
Asked whether he could any depression in the months he said his crystals no better than anybody else as far as I can see. I anything unsound in the mentals of this country," "I can't foresee any call.
One of the financial wonders how was it that already had cut income discovered that she was more money even than before." "I think Canada has been smarter than we have applied the Secretary." "He been a little ahead of us."
That's frank talking free net member. It developed that the Secretary has become associate member of the I can call him, brother going to be handy. Who put on the bite for a than the Secretary of theury?
Few people like to be strangers, for life is more pleasant when we are among those we know and like. But in California where the influx of newcomers is greater than anywhere else in the world we have many strangers, many new residents who, temporarily know no one here.
In the spirit of good neighborliness, it is our duty and should be our pleasure, to help make these people feel at home. In other words, we should do for them what we would like to have done unto us under similar circumstances.
It helps too, if the new resident gets around and makes himself known. He should identify himself to the merchants with whom he will trade and establish his account in the local bank, for these contacts are important in the matters of credit and cashling checks. Joining a club and attending church help to make new acquaintances. And we might add (modestly) that subscribing to this newspaper is an excellent way of knowing more about the community and its doings.
In short, we hope there will be few strangers in town but many new acquaintances.
Your Birthday Forecast
(BY STELLA)
FRIDAY, SEPT. 18—Born today, you are one of those temperamental contradictions which make it difficult for you to have an even life, no matter what the circumstances are surrounding you. Blessed with a tremendous store of nervous energy, you are also at times, plain "bone lazy" and must learn to overcome a real talent for procrastination if you are to make a success of anything you undertake.
You have a tremendous amount of will power and when you want something, you go out after it, hammer and tongs. But once it is on its way to completion, you are much too apt to lose interest and hunt around for something new. Learn above everything else to finish the job you begin before starting another, or your life will be strewn with wasted and frustrated ambitions.
As a child, and even sometimes as an adult, you are far too inclined to waste good time in day dreaming. There are moments when the line between fancy and reality is very thin, indeed. You have a facility with the written word and would probably be able to write credibly. Your star has given you adequate talent, but it is up to you to develop it properly.
You work best when in harmonious surroundings and when not harassed by the complications of making a living. Although you are happy with music and books, there is another side of your nature which demands human companionship. Your emotions are deep but you seldom express them openly.
Say you pay $1,000 a year now in income taxes. Come January first, barring international catastrophes, Humphrey said this grab would be cut by about 10 percent and he did not mean maybe. That means a free hundred-dollar taxpayer and I for one, am grateful. I'm getting a little threadbare.
Humphrey, whose reputation as a business man in Cleveland is better known than his prowess as a public speaker, put it this way: "We ought to give back to the people some of the money we're taking from 'em and let 'em spend it themselves, instead of having us spend it for 'em."
This is a new theory in these simple facts expressed by the Secretary of State, John Foster Dulles, in behalf of the United States at the meeting of the General assembly of the United Nations tell realistically the status of the Korean problem. It is a statement that ought to be read carefully by those who have argued that the Korean Armistice was a great victory and that it "stopped" the aggressors.
The exact words of the brief address by Mr. Dulles are so important that they are reproduced here, because this correspondent cannot find that they have been widely disseminated throughout the United States. The full text of what Mr. Dulles said is as follows: "I move that the general assembly postpone for the duration of the eighth session for the current year the consideration of any proposals to unseat the representatives of the national government of the Republic of China or to send representatives of the so-called central peoples' government to represent the Republic of China.
"I make this procedural motion of postponement so that we can go ahead with the regular work of this assembly in our present session. We know that three years ago the Chinese Communists intervened with their armed forces as aggressors, as participants in the Communist scheme to overpower and seize the Republic of Korea. That fact of aggression has been found by the United Nations. After unnecessary and heartbreaking delays in negotiations to halt the fighting, an armistice was finally concluded about six weeks ago and that armistice was welcomed throughout the world, nowhere more than the United States. But the armistice has not solved all issues."
The David Lawrence Dispatch
(BY DAVID LAWRENCE)
WASHINGTON, Sept. 18—The aggression in Korea has not been ended. Communist China's armies still occupy North Korea. The Armistice itself has not terminated the aggression.
These simple facts expressed by the Secretary of State, John Foster Dulles, in behalf of the United States at the meeting of the General assembly of the United Nations tell realistically the status of the Korean problem. It is a statement that ought to be read carefully by those who have argued that the Korean Armistice was a great victory and that it "stopped" the aggressors.
The exact words of the brief address by Mr. Dulles are so important that they are reproduced here, because this correspondent cannot find that they have been widely disseminated throughout the United States. The full text of what Mr. Dulles said is as follows: "I move that the general assembly postpone for the duration of the eighth session for the current year the consideration of any proposals to unseat the representatives of the national government of the Republic of China.

After unnecessary and heartbreaking delays in negotiations to halt the fighting, an armistice was finally concluded about six weeks ago and that armistice was welcomed throughout the world, nowhere more than the United States. But the armistice has not solved all issues."
The other evening Addison, presidential candidate Democrat in 1952, told audience that he felt states government should an attitude of "inflexion dealing with the Commissary problems of Asia. It would indicate a willingness promise on such issues; sion of Red China to them it should be noted that Western Allies wanted it would be a gross mistake so in advance of the poerference at which foe rea is to settled.
There is a hint in speech that recognition of and indeed admission to is not a legalistic man but is related to the regime which seeks to educe the courtesies of Ind organizations.

As It Was Told to Me

parts and when Humphrey said it his audience sat there a minute, open-mouthed, before giving him a round of asplause. His customers looked starry-eyed; they all could see hundred-dollar bills they didn't expect.
The rest of the Secretary's speech probably was more interesting to bankers than the rest of us wage earners, but in general he said she Administration was striving to get the budget balanced and already was making progress. He said President Eisenhower and Co., were going all out to make our money honest and sound, so we'd have an incentive for saving it. And also for putting our savings to productive use.
The steak-eaters then shot up to him a double fistful of questions, many of which concerned the theory of a Federal sales tax. The Secretary said he was studying that idea, along with 40 others, but wasn't ready to say what he thought about it.
Asked whether he could foresee any depression in the next 12 months, he said his crystal ball was no better than anybody else. "But as far as I can see, I don't see anything unseen in the fundamentals of this country," he added. "I can't foresee any calamity."
One of the financial writers then wondered how was it that Canada already had cut income taxes and discovered that she was taking in more money even than before.
"I think Canada has been a little smarter than we have been," replied the Secretary. "They have been a little ahead of us."
That's frank talking from a Cabinet member. It developed further that the Secretary has become an associate member of the press club. I can call him, brother... This is going to be handy. Who better to put on the bite for a small loan than the Secretary of the Treasury?
WASHINGTON (UP)—The eyes of the armed guards in the NBC television studio were as cold as the $100,000 worth of diamonds under the lights.
The diamonds were set in platinum, yellow, and white gold. They had karats for character.
The diamonds were being displayed as part of a fashion show. The mistress of ceremony was Inga Rundvold. She handed me the tray of jewels worth a fortune.
"What would you do with this?" she asked.
The answer was a couple of shaky hands which spilled $100,000 worth of ice all over the table. All of which gave the guards a shock and the cameramen a tremble.
There were diamond necklaces. There were bracelets. There were rings running from small karats to large ones.
After we had gathered in the Hollywood
By ALINE MOSBY
HOLLYWOOD (UP)—The Robe" finally has been premiered after 10 years of production, and the one actor who says he was the most thrilled won't even be seen on the screen.
He is Cameron Mitchell, and the true tale of how he wanted to be in the picture proves there often is more drama behind the camera than takes place on the screen.
"When I read The Robe' 10 years ago I wanted to be in the movie version—probably because my father is a minister In Shrewsbury, Pa." Mitchell said as he began his story.
"When Fox bought the book three years ago, my hopes were loot and counted it, the show went on.
What I really wanted to do was to hang a necklace around the lovely Carol Channing, the star "Gentlemen Prefer Blondes." She was on the show and she hadn't been rehearsed, either.
She didn't object, though. And I butted in and carried out an idea. She looked pretty in diamonds.
Miss Channing didn't carry off any gems. They were counted before we left. In fact we were frisked.
I was supposed to go on the show just to nod a crew-out.
When I got under the lights, there was no escape. You're supposed to have make-up on to go on TV. I didn't have. My kid who had skipped school to watch her old man said.
"Daddy, you looked like you hadn't used a razor since the Miss America contest." Which was some time ago.
It seems that the cameras give you a 9 p.m. shadow.

WASHINGTON (AP)—Now it's a general who's in the kitchen.
This general is so expert he's put his know-how into print for the benefit of other brass or civilians, who like to putter in the kitchen. Pentagon security cleared the work for publication.
Brig. Gen. Frank Dorn, new deputy chief of information for the Department of the Army, has compiled "The Dorm Cookbook"—a collection of recipes gathered in his world travels in 30 years with the Army.
The book (Henry Regnery Co., Chicago) boasts more than 300 pages of recipes, ranging from simple dishes to more exotic ones—Japanese curries duck livers—
A newly cut income taxes and discovered that she was taking in more money even than before.
"I think Canada has been a little smarter, than we have been," replied the Secretary. "They have been a little ahead of us."
That's frank talking from a Cabinet member. It developed further that the Secretary has become an associate member of the press club. I can call him, brother. This is going to be handy. Who better to put on the bite for a small loan than the Secretary of the Treasury?
And I thank you, Brother Humphrey, for dropping by and helping be do my work.

moreover, their continued actions elsewhere in Asia are far from reassuring.
"Therefore, I submit that, as things stand now, we should not even consider any proposals for the representation of the Chinese Communist aggressors in this assembly, and following the practice of earlier sessions I urge prompt adoption of the motion to postpone consideration.
"Let me add the fact that that motion I propose deals with the current year and should not be interpreted as indicating any expectation on the part of the United States to change its position after the current year. It is merely that we believe that it is appropriate that a body of this character should deal with one year at a time."
The motion made by Mr. Dulles was adopted, so evidently the other members of the United Nations, including Great Britain, have decided not to allow the question of admitting Red China to the U.N. to be used as a piece of bargaining or maneuver.
The other evening Adalie Stevenson, presidential candidate of the Democrats in 1952, told a Chicago audience that he felt the United States government should not have an attitude of "inflexibility" in dealing with the Communists over the problems of Asia. He conveyed the impression that it would be wise to indicate a willingness to compromise on such issues as admission of Red China to the U.N. But it should be noted that even if the Western Allies wanted to bargain, it would be a gross mistake to ask so in advance of the political conference at which the fate of Korea is to be settled.
There is a hint in the Dulles speech that recognition of a country and indeed admission to the U.N. is not a legalistic matter at all but is related to the behavior of a regime which seeks to be accorded the courtesies of International organizations.
He is Cameron Mitchell, and the true tale of how he wanted to be in the picture proves there often is more drama behind the camera than takes place on the screen.
"When I read The Robe' 10 years ago I wanted to be in the movie version—probably because my father is a minister in Shrewsbury, Pa." Mitchell said as he began his story.
"When Fox bought the book three years ago, my hopes were up."
The main role went to Richard Burton. But Mitchell was summoned to read Burton's lines while the studio tested Jean Simmons. Surely Director Henry Koste would give him a part, be thought. Tested Others.
In fact, every time the studio wanted to test an actor for the picture, Mitchell was called in to read all the other roles.
But the disappointed actor saw the prize parts drop to others—Victor Mature, Jeff Morrow, Dean Jagger, Michael Rennie.
"I did 53 test scenes—all together more footage than the completed picture, but no part in the movie for me," he sighed.
Mitchell buttonholed studio executives in vain. He still was in there pitching after "The Robe" started shooting. Even when he was assigned to another movie, "Hell and High Water" he never lost hope that somehow he would be in "The Robe."
"I became so obsessed with the idea everybody thought I was crazy," the actor admitted. "My wife teased me so much I finally decided to show a few people. I wrote a registered letter to myself that I would be in 'The Robe.' It's still sealed at home."
**Greatest Thrill**
Shooting on the movie ended months ago. Recently director Koster was doing last-miute "dubbing" of sounds. He borrowed Mitchell from the "Hell and High Water" set.
The actor at last was given his part—one line of dialogue.
The line, "Father forgive them...for they know not what they do."
He played the voice of Christ.
"The other actors they'd tried sounded serene," Mitchell explained. "I humbly tried to simulate Christ's physical torment by having two sound men twist my arms as I spoke."
Mitchell gets no billing.
"I've had a lot of good parts during my career," he reflected, "but this was the greatest thrill of all. I never lost faith that I'd be in it."
**Film Shop**
HOLLYWOOD (UK)—The ideal summer film for co-eds has been one actor who says he was the most thrilled won't even be seen on the screen.
He is Cameron Mitchell, and the true tale of how he wanted to be in the picture proves there often is more drama behind the camera than takes place on the screen.
"When I read The Robe' 10 years ago I wanted to be in the movie version—probably because my father is a minister in Shrewsbury, Pa." Mitchell said as he began his story.

"I became so obsessed with the idea everybody thought I was crazy," the actor admitted. "My wife teased me so much I finally decided to show a few people. I wrote a registered letter to myself that I would be in 'The Robe.' It's still sealed at home."
**Men Better Cooks**
The genial general, a bachelor, implies that he wrote the book to prove his contention that men are better cooks than women.
"Men are bolder—have more imagination," says the general. "Look at the chefs in the great restaurants and hotels. Men!"
The cookbook received a simple title because the publisher didn't want a "cute" one. Dorn, who took an art course before he went West Point, also did the copper illustrations for the book.
Dorn claims to have tried all the specialties at one time or another and says anyone who can follow directions en cook. But he watches his waistline and usually has a sandwich for lunch. He also claims to like plain food, but you'd never know it to listen to the recipes.
Actually he is one of the capital's most fabulous hosts. You won't find him in a chef's hat when he's bent over a cookstove. His kitchen uniform usually is a T-shirt, old trousers; sometimes a tea towel around the waist.
**Kitchen Meant Warmth**
The general has an almost reverent attitude to food.
"As a kid on my father's ranch in California I was taught the fundamentals of cooking, along with my sisters," he explained. "As an adult I learned that a supposedly cold world could become a warm, comfortable place whenever I slid out to the kitchen among the spices, the pots, and the smell of cooking...".
He doesn't see any anything unusual about his liking to cook.
"A lot of generals cook," he says triumphantly. "Even General Eisenhower."
Pentagon security cleared the book with this wry memo to the general:
"A serious difficulty arises in applying this book. The Quartermaster General publishes menus for the Army for every meal of the year. These probably reflect Army policy on eating and any contrary advice... could be considered by the Quartermaster General as undermining his efforts to regiment Army eating."
There is a hint in the Dulles speech that recognition of a country and indeed admission to the U.N. is not a legalistic matter at all but is related to the behavior of a regime which seeks to be accorded the courtesies of International organizations.
The air has been cleared by the Dulles speech, and the plain warning about further aggressive behavior by the Communists in southeast Aisa is significant of a firming of the attitude of the United States. (Reproduction Rights Reserved) or
