OUR GAL FLO You ordinarily think of office secretaries as young ladies who sit about all day pecking at the typewriter and taking dictation from the boss. For exercise, if any, you would expect them to indulge in a little tennis or golf or in "cutting a rug" now and then. But not all secretaries follow that pattern. Take San Diego's Florence Chadwick, for instance. She likes to swim. Not just up and down the YWCA pool now and then but out in the bay or the ocean. She also likes to swim the English Channel, a little trick she has turned on no less than three occasions. Most recent of these was her crossing from England to France (that's the hard way) early this month in the record time of 14 hours and 42 minutes. You'd think she'd feel pretty well satisfied after a jaunt like that. But not Florence. After pausing on the French side for a few minutes she went back into the water for a try at the return trip. For 2½ miles she churned along but had to give up because of the extreme cold and the stings of a school of jellyfish which she encountered. But she'll try the "impossible" Your Birth MONDAY, SEPTEMBER Born today, you are the supr artistic critic and cannot be tent with anything less than fection. You can "make do very little in life, but that must be of the very best world. You are an individual and are most content when ing on your own toward someinite objective. You resent told what to do or how to do thing for you are quite sure COSTS MORE NOW This will come as no shock to you, but it costs more to operate your car now than it did a couple of years ago. The American Automobile Association says the increase since 1951 is 6 per cent. It also says that if you drive your car 10,000 miles a year you are plunking out $908 to keep the wheels rolling (that's more than nine cents a mile), whereas in 1951 you could travel the same distance for $861. Maybe the simplest thing to do is to park your car in the junk yard and let the arches fall where they may. Walking is SO invigorating, you know. ONCE AGAIN As in the usual custom, the New York Yankees and the Brooklyn Dodgers will fight it out again in the World Series this year. What ever became of the other clubs in the two leagues? We've heard that some of them are still playing. But, what? -- Phil Newsom -- Until about a month ago, Anatell Lossifovich Lavrentiev was eating high on the hog. Then trouble befell. Now Lavrentiev is reported "ill"—and no wonder. Lavrentiev is 40 years old, a balding, stocky man who is Russian ambassador to Iran. Until last month's sudden coup which saw the downfall of Iranian Premier Mohammed Mossadegh and restoration of the Shah, it looked as if Lavrentiev was about to hand to the Russians one of their biggest prizes. Iran seemed ready to fall to Communism. Two Down It was the second time that disaster had struck Lavrentiev, once regarded as one of Communism's brightest, younger lights. It was he who failed to read the signs in Yugoslavia correctly. Yugoslavia's Marshal Tito reportedly put the finger on him in 1947. Bad Timing At any rate, Lavrentiev was around as Russian ambassador to Yugoslavia when the big split occurred. Lavrentiev is the Communist school of "economie" diplomats which produced such really brilliant men as Jacob Malik and Andrei Gromyko, both of whom have been formidable antagonists of the United States in the United Nations. Last July, with Mossadegh showing signs of wanting some kind of economic agreement with Russia, Lavrentiev was moved to Tehran. His arrival was followed by the flight of the Shah and by violent pro-Communist demonstrations staged by the Communist Tudzh party. But, with success almost in his grasp, it was torn away. What judgment his Moscow bosses may lower on him is problematic. Whether Molotov can get his way than three occasions. Most recent of these was her crossing from England to France (that's the hard way) early this month in the record time of 14 hours and 42 minutes. You'd think she'd feel pretty well satisfied after a jaunt like that. But not Florence. After pausing on the French side for a few minutes she went back into the water for a try at the return trip. For 2½ miles she churned along but had to give up because of the extreme cold and the stings of a school of jellyfish which she encountered. But she'll try the "impossible" again. And we wouldn't be surprised to see her do it. Flo is quite a gal! MONDAY, SEPTEMBER Born today, you are the surrealist erite and cannot be sent with anything less than fiction.

It was he who failed to read the signs in Yugoslavia correctly. Yugoslavia's Marshal Tito reportedly put the finger on him in 1947. That was the period when the Yugoslav-Soviet crisis was at its height, and Tito was supposed to have complained to Soviet Foreign Minister Vyacheslav Molotov that Lavrentiev was "stupid." "He may be stupid," Molotov is said to have replied, "but he is a good Communist." It was perhaps natural that Molotov, who has made a career of mediocrity, should choose such Songs of a Sonneter By R. Louis Scott "SO FAR . . . SO NEAR!" There is no future: nor is there a past! That which has been and what is yet to be Have ever been—eternally! Men cast Into dark pools in hopes their eyes may see This moment's facts: yet truth waits to be conned While eyes may read! Deep thinkers all agree That in the utmost abyss of despond, Or at Time's peak, Man's living has been spun Thru Past and Present—toward heights beyond! No here; no there: naught finished, naught begun: Each plays his own part in Life's pantomime— But knows; deep in himself, that he is one With every dreamer who has sought to rhyme His foot-sore steps to the rhythm of Time! AYESHA—Page 263— H. Rider Haggard Truth—42/28 THE AMERICAN WAY Othman’s Views on Washington Scent By FREDERICK C. OTHMAN WASHINGTON—Now that Sen. Joe McCarthy is getting married, my guess is that we'll have a new and calmer chaser-outer of Communicate in Government. I congratulate the Senator and wish every joy to the bride. This is a marriage that probably will make us all happier. Bringing up these pleasing thoughts about Sen. Joe are my memories of what marriage did to me. It kept people from poking me in the eye, is what, and I expect the Senator as a husband will get far fewer swats than he did as a bachelor. The trouble with bachelors (meaning me, or course, and not Senators) is that they think entirely too much about themselves. I remember there when I was night manager of the United Press in Chicago, in complete charge of the whole works, including the office boys, after the dayside went home at six p.m. Everybody always seemed to be out of step, except me. Sometimes I got so angry at the day manager that I refused to speak to him. He's one of the nicest gentlemen ever knew, too, and I'm pleased that since I became a husband, myself, he forgave me. We can laugh now about my tantrums. I used to fight with my associates by telegraph all over the land. Even when they were right and I knew it, I argued with him. My bosses, all husbands, put up with a good deal of snarling from me. I've often wondered why they didn't fire me, but I've concluded they remembered when they were bachelors, too. So in 1921, about this time of year, my Hilda consented to marry me. The ceremony was in the minister's study and in the midst of it, as I was starting to say, "I do," the cuckoo clock on the wall opened up in competition. I could have killed that preacher, or at least wrecked his clock. This, as it turned out, was the last time I got really sore at any eyes. I'm sincere about this. In my ion the Senator's marriage was one of the most important events America this year, from the point of what it will do to ultimately to the rest of us. Sen. Carthy is a fortunate man; he married before it is too late. (Copyright, 1935, by United States Syndicate, Inc).

Odd thing was (and I trust McCarthy is listening) that the time at first seemed amusing went along with it. I said to me because it made Hilda happy.

As It Was Told to Me by HARMAN NICHOLS WASHINGTON (UP) — Today's hats, more dabs of this and that, rest lightly on the heads of today's women. In great-grandma's day it was different. Way back yonder a fellow named Arthur Munchausen of Independence, La., got to thinking about the heavy load the ladies had on their heads and put his mind to inventing. His invention, still on site at the U.S. Patent Office, was called "hat." It wasn't a hat, exactly—Munchausen described his innovation as a "means for supporting ladies bonnets." The invention, he said, put a lady's headgear "above and out of contact with the wearer." Cool Head It took the weight of the towering toppers of old off a woman's head and put on her shoulders. The gimmick consisted of some steel braces which must have weighed more than the hat. They rested upon the shoulders and propped the hat up. Moreover, Munchausen said, his invention kept the wearer "head-cooled." The inventors of old had imagination. Consider C. M. French Hollywood By ALINE MOSEY HOLLYWOOD (Q) — Willow Mary Astor is back acting today after a four-year retirement "during which I was so sick I just couldn't work. The durable, handsome actress quit work in bad health in 1949 after she appeared in MGM's "Little Women." The illness mounted until she made headlines in May, 1951, when she was rushed to a hospital from an overdose of sleeping pills. But that's all in the past and I don't want to talk about it now," she smiled. "I had trouble with insomnia." I exaggerated emotional problemms. Bad Operation When the cause of my illness was discovered, I had an operation last February and by April I felt wonderful. Miss Astor "tried out my wings" in a summer stock presentation of "Biography" in the East this summer. She opened a nation-wide tour at the Billmore theater here this week of "Time of the Cuckoo."

At night I went to sleep in pajamas installed as had happened freently in the past. In my clothes around four am. As a husband I seldom saw the inside of a chair club.

I went along with it. I said to myself, because made Hilde happy, Boon was slipping into the carpet slipnaturally. I bought a pipe and began reading some books.

Having had some experience at home along this line, he’ll think before he speaks. That, in itself, will save him friends. It’ll also some of those he hates into man things because he’ll be seeing them through a new pair of me. I’m sincere about this. In my opinion the Senator’s marriage will be one of the most important events in America this year, from the viewpoint of what it will do to him and almost to the rest of us. Sen Mcarthy is a fortunate man; he’s getting married before it is too late. (Copyright, 1958, by United Feare Syndicate, Inc). Old to Me NICHOLS And W. H. Francher of Waterloo, WASHINGTON, Sept. 21 — Bob Hope, the comedian, talked back to a British audience the other day when heckled about "McCarthy" and said bluntly that the Wisconsin senator was doing a worthwhile work in drawing attention to the Communist menace. He added that he thought Senator McCarthy was "right 96 per cent of the time." Now perhaps that’s a little high as percentages go among those who discuss controversial topics—for nobody is right 96 per cent of the time, not even a Washington correspondent. But it is refreshing to find one American or prominent traveling abroad who had the temerity to talk back and give the Europeans some facts. It would have been very helpful if Adial Stevenson, the former presidential candidate, had revealed in his speech last week what answer he had made to those abroad with whom he discussed the subject. For he says "McCarthy'sism" is now a world-wide word" and that at a result of "inquisition" and "book burning" he realizes that "the bright vision of the land of the free" in Europe and Asia has now become "obscured." There would seem to be great need of attention by the "Voice of America" to an expedition of the truth in areas where insidious misrepresentation or what is happening in America has been carried on by the Communist press and by certain non-Communist newspapers abroad which are trying to discredit American foreign policy generally. But the press abroad, which receives wire reports from the United States, can hardly be blamed if the basic information on some of these controversies isn’t even transmitted over the big press-association wires of this country. Take, for example, a speech by Vice President Nixon three weeks ago before the American Legion convention at St. Louis. A year-old comment favorable to President Truman on Korea was picked up and senated albeit but the real put some of the issues in perspective. "The controversy began, as you will recall, over the books which are in the libraries of our Foreign Information Service abroad. I think all of us will agree that the taxpayers of the United States should not have to pay for the dissemination of Communist propaganda in special-purpose libraries set up abroad for the express purpose of presenting the American position in its best light. "But there has unfortunately been a tendency for the controversy to spill over into a second field which should not be confused with the first. What about public libraries in the United States? Should they contain books advocating the Communist idea written by Marx, Lenin, Stalin and other Communist authorities? "In this connection it is well to recognise at the outset that no one in authority in the administration, or in the House or in the Senate, has ever suggested that the public libraries in the United States should not have books by Communist authors on their shelves." How many Americans have been told the very opposite of that last statement—and how many American politicians have falsely accused Senator McCarthy of advocating that very thing? These statements have been widely reprinted in the European press. Yet when on the authority or the vice president a lie was nailed, it never got quoted in the press abroad because it was not fully covered by our own press. Continuing Mr. Nixon’s speech: "I think we will all agree that the American people should know more, rather than less, about the Communist idea. If we are going to combat the idea effectively it is necessary for us to read what the Communists and the fellow travelers write concerning that idea." "We must all recognize that the right to advocate unpopular ideas is part of our American tradition. On the other hand, we must distinguish participation in the Communist conspiracy from advocacy." Bold to Me NICHOLS And W. H. Francher of Waterloo, Y., who in 1853 came up with something that would allow a farmer to farm and make war at the same time. It was a combined sow and gun, and the inventors could be used either way. They said it would be useful in avage feud or guerrilla "warfare." A Busted Rat The old-time invention that I particularly liked, though, was the child of Friedrich Bardele, Milwaukee, who thought up a new kind of rat exterminator. Let Bardele describe it as he did in 1897. "Take some ground cork, some salt, pepper or other thirst-inducing substance and a palatable food like butter or lard mixed with sugar." "The rate will eat the mixture. The cork swells inside them and the rats will seek water." "After they find water the pests will swell up and break open." "The wonderful part about my invention is that the rate when they become thirsty will leave the building and run off to die elsewhere." On, she went on. "It's so wonderful to be acting again. My illness was the only time I'd been able, except for 10 months in 1900, during the change over from silent movies to sound. I'd worked steadily for 32 years." Weary Same Hair-do The stately brunette still wears the same short, slidesweet hair-do that was her trademark in films, seeing her again reminds many fans of her movie hits such as "Dodsworth," "Cass Timberline," "Any Number Can Play" and others in which she was the "other woman" for the heroine's best friend. She has no plans to return to movies now, one added. No, I'm stage struck," she said. "I may do some filmed television shows, however, but not live. I don't want to be tortured." 10 YEARS OF BRIDGE HOLLY SPRINGS, Miss (?) — Our Holly Springs women were caught the game of bridge when they were sixth grade students of North Mississippi Prehysterian College. That was in 1903, and Mrs. Charlie Dean, Mrs. Ed Tyson, Mrs. Take, for example, a speech by Vice President Nixon three weeks ago before the American Legion convention at St. Louis. A year-old comment favorable to President Truman on Korea was picked up and senatedalized but the real news—a discussion of "book burning"—was almost totally ignored by the reporters in the press box at the convention. One would suppose by any of the customary standards that what a vice president of the United States says in his speeches is news—especially if the vice president said this day on the subject has not yet been published in whole or in part by many newspapers because they didn't receive it from the press associations. The full text of the section of Mr. Nixon's speech of August 31 relating to "book burning"—which incidentally got the biggest round of applause—follows: "We have heard a lot of talk about 'book burning' during the past few months. A great editorial controversy has been rigging on the subject, under the circumstances. I think it would be well to Art in Review NEW YORK (?) — William Gaunt's 15-page introduction to Phalcon's excellent Renoir reproductions has the charm of an elegant causerie into which an insight of the master's work is strewn as casually as if it were an accidental bon mot and not the result of a painstaking analysis. It is actually a short biography of Renoir composed of a number of scenes from the life of this great artist in which anecdotes are interwoven with clear, precise and pertinent observations. It is a pleasure to read a book on art that is not written in the hackneyed, technical language of modern art criticism, but in a vivid, direct, simple way. A few lines from the last paragraph in which Gaunt sums up the art of Renoir will give the reader an opportunity to sample the loviness of this style. Painting for him was essentially an old handcraft, a survival in an unsympathetic period where the slow work of the hand that makes for happiness," as he said, was killed by progress and science. He looked back constantly both to the wisdom and the gaiety of the past. The business of the painter was to make something physically beautiful as craftsmanship had once made beautiful furniture. With this went the task of depicting the beauty of life and pre-eminently the beauty of women fully covered by our own press. Continuing Mr. Nixon's speech: "I think we will all agree that the American people should know more, rather than less, about the Communist idea. If we are going to combat the idea effectively it is necessary for us to read what the Communists and the fellow travelers write concerning that idea. "We must all recognize that the right to advocate unpopular ideas is part of our American tradition. On the other hand, we must distinguish participation in the Communist conspiracy from advocacy of the Communist idea. We should also recognise that as Americans we have the right and the duty both to expose the Communist idea for what it is and to advocate our own American idea in opposition to it. "It is our belief that the best way to combat a fallacious idea is through exposure and not suppression. We are convinced that if the two ideas which appeal to the people of the world today — Communism on the one side, freedom and justice on the other — come together in the open market place of public discussion there cannot be any question as to the outcome." The foregoing quotation is the American creed. It is true liberality. (Roperduction Rights Reserved) or (Copyright, 1953, New York Herald Tribune Inc.) "No, I'm stage struck," she said. "I may do some filmed television shows, however, but not live. I don't want to be tortured." 10 YEARS OF BRIDGE HOLLY SPRINGS, Miss 69 — four Holly Springs women were caught the game of bridge when they were sixth grade students of North Mississippi Prebsterian College. That was in 1903, and Mrs. Charlie Dean, Mrs. Ed Tyson, Mrs. Lynn Hopson and Mia Lucy Hill parcel it still an inseparable four-room. "We still fuse like cats and dogs at bridge," said one of them.

Tancred Borendus' 16-Page introduction is divided into two parts. In the first, the author analyses the art of Rembrandt against its art historical background—the European baroque of the 17th century; in the second, he illustrates with a few examples the principal stages of the master's artistic evolution. In order to dispel the current belief that Rembrandt owed little to foreign influences, Borenius demonstrates with 20-well-chosen illustrations how keenly the great Dutchman sought the influence of Mantega, Leonardo, Tintoretto, Caravaggio and others. It is fascinating to see how a genius like Rembrandt, whose overflowing fantasy is apparent in every one of his 600 paintings, 200 etchings and 2,000 drawings, went back again and again to study copy and adapt to his own purposes the work of the masters who preceded him. One feels his passionate endeavour to draw from the great tradition in order to be better able to revolutionize and to develop it. It is this cleaning, strengthening and developing of the tradition through uninterrupted revolutions that has given European art its dynamic power and its formidable continuity. Rembrandt von Rijn, one of Europe's greatest sons, was also one of its most energetic revolutionaries in the service of its great tradition. Paul Mocsanyi There has never been a buffalo in North America ... except in zoos. Oud so-called buffalo is a bison. Season's First Bang It is the first big bang of the new season for full-length recorded operas. The first small bang is a one-record, cut-down performance of Handel's "The Faithful Shepherd" with Lehman Engel conducting a more-or-less Handelian orchestra and a fair assortment of singers. You have a reasonable presentation of the full score which probably is as much you would want (Columbia). Of operatic personalities, there is a series of lusty Russian arias and songs sung by the lusty basso, Boris Chrritoff (BMV; 12-inch LP). And there is the one-and-only Erna Berger conjuring music magic with eight songs of Brahms and six of Richard Strauss (Decca; 12-inch LP). Beethoven's violin concerto is the most formidable challenge to Russia's great violin virtuoso, David Ostrakh, which western ears have heard so far and you have to be impressed by the big tone the man produces, his uncanny bowing and his searching musical sensitivity. The USSR State Radio Orchestra conducted by Alexander Gauk sounds just so-so. The same orchestra and conductor with soloists and a chorus are responsible for a performance of Thalkovsky's "The Snow Malden" which is a second tape Concert Hall bought from the Soviet's international music agent and put onto an LP for the American market. Good voices, a resounding chorus; very Russian performance of very Russian music.
