BILLY ROSE PITCHES A RINGER A long puzzling question, which is why some of the richest people in show business are Communists, has been given an intriguing answer by Billy Rose, himself a show big veteran. In his column, "Pitching Horseshoes," he begins by stressing the difference between talent and brains. Talent, says Mr. Rose, is simply an acquired skill, whereas brains are something else again—meaning the ability to reason on the basis of reality and its attendant difficulties. "The old-line Commies," Mr. Rose goes on, "quickly sensed that some of our producers, writers and directors didn't have brains enough to come in out of the Russian rain, and that many highly paid performers were no brighter than the performing seals which are paid off in fish." Perhaps the general error of confusing mere talent with intelligence is more widespread than even Mr. Rose has discovered. A highly talented college professor of mathematics may undertake to fix a leak in the "The old-line Commies," Mr. Rose goes on, "quickly sensed that some of our producers, writers and directors didn't have brains enough to come in out of the Russian rain, and that many highly paid performers were no brighter than the performing seals which are paid off in fish." Perhaps the general error of confusing mere talent with intelligence is more widespread than even Mr. Rose has discovered. A highly talented college professor of mathematics may undertake to fix a leak in the plumbing and flood the basement. But if his talent is fortified with real brains, he'll prudently call in the plumber to tackle the job. Nor has anyone, by the evidence, enough brains to take in all fields of knowledge and human experience. Even Professor Einstein, when he wanders into opinions on world politics, seems as confused and foggy as the average man would be trying to comprehend his theory of relativity. As Will Rogers said: "We're all ignorant, only on different subjects." HYSTERIA OVER THE AIR FORCE There has been so much hysterical talk about the U.S. inviting disaster by cutting five billion dollars off the Air Force budget appropriation, that Senator Thomas H. Kuchel's revelation of some basic fiscal facts last week was indeed timely. Speaking at the Pacific Coast Gas Association meeting in San Francisco, California's junior senator criticized a long-standing government practice of permitting agencies to pile up unspent appropriations, year after year, and still ask for more money. Of the Air Force situation which has caused such furor he declared: "During the debate in the Senate, it was brought out that from prior appropriations to the Air Force by prior Congresses, there remained available to the Air Force this present year 28 billion dollars of unspent monies available for its use. "Let me repeat this. If Congress this year had failed to appropriate a single dollar to that branch of the defense establishment, it still would have had, on hand and ready to use, a total of 28 billion dollars from prior appropriation bills. And that is far more than the Air Force can effectively spend in any 12-month period!" Together with Senator Harry Byrd of Virginia, a Democrat who has long fought against his own party's extravagance with tax money, Senator Kuchel is author of legislation which would authorize Congress to regulate all federal spending on a year-to-year basis. The danger that he foresees and is combatting—that this great and strong Nation may spend itself into bankruptcy and feebleness, seems very real.

King Solomon, the wise, in early days, Had much to say about women—and wine! He sipped the latter while probing the ways Of feminine creatures—to get a line On why some were coy, while others would flirt At the drop of the hat? The clinging vine Would big her eyes and look frightfully hurt. At every pass—the more vivacious dame Was ready, and eager, to dish the dirt! Four thousand years: the set-up's much the same— Despite this "New Look" which gives one the creeps: Both flirts and non-flirts play the same weird game, While Solomon's kin sips stale beer—and weeps: "Steer clear of the coy ones—they play for keeps!" Women—18/81 HE'LL TRY AGAIN NO U.N. SEAT FOR RED CHINA! A BREAK FOR THE REDMAN History indicates that the conscience of the American people has always been troubled by the treatment given the Indians. They were here first. We took their land away and herded them on reservations. Then—probably that troubled conscience—the Government assumed responsibility of looking out for them as "wards"; but the Government also humiliated them with irrational restrictions. Now at long last our California Indians are get Othman's Views on Washington By PREDERICK C. OTHMAN WASHINGTON - The boss is back with a sunburn and some fish in his hamper and our town suddenly booming again. If you don't believe it, try to get a hotel room in Washington. The heat's on (from the furnace, I mean) over at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, the capital never looked lovelier, and President Eisenhower as usual has problems. Let us not begrudge him his vacation in Colorado. For one thing, he must decide whether to take us and, of course, the Russians, into his confidence on matters atomic. There are two schools on this. The atom department wants to keep the whole works as secret as possible. The civil defense people think the taxpayers should be told far more about the status of atomic development. The President also must hire himself some helpers and with practically everybody at work already, this isn't easy. He needs a chief for the Bureau of Mines, who should know something about the mining business and who is friendly not only with John L. (Eyebrows) Lewis, but also with the coal mine owners. Men with these qualifications are scarcer than those with clean fingernails in the pits. Then Mr. Eisenhower needs, and at once before the fall seasons open in the white marble palace of justice, a new judge for the Supreme Court. This is a good job at high wages and it's permanent. I don't suppose there's an American alive who wouldn't quit what he's doing for a chance at it. So the President's problem here is too many applicants. Every prominent Republican has been mentioned and also measured for a seat on the bench. Some of the experts even have pondered the possibility of a Democratic appointment, but this I doubt. The President already has had an experience with a Democrat in his Cabinet and now he's looking make antagonists and other. I doubt if there's any who could qualify.

They were here first. We took their land away and herded them on reservations. Then—probably that troubled conscience—the Government assumed responsibility of looking out for them as "wards"; but the Government also humiliated them with irrational restrictions. Now, at long last, our California Indians are getting some rights, under new federal and State statutes, that have been common to all Americans. Indians now have the privilege to sue or be sued in State courts. Moreover, the curious ban against an Indian's having or buying liquor has been abolished. Maybe liquor isn't good for anybody, white or red. That's beside the point.

Your Birthday Forecast (BY STELLA) TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 22—Born today, you must learn to make up your mind more quickly and more decisively, if you are not to let major opportunities pass you by. You have a wide interest in many different things and, as a child, may have difficulty in concentrating on any single thing for any length of time. When it comes time for you to select your life work, find something which can hold your interest and stick to it until you master it. Only in this way will you become what the world calls a success. Pond of travel and of being in the company of interesting people, you will probably cover a great part of the earth's surface during your lifetime. Since you enjoy outdoor life, it is doubtful if you could be completely happy in any routine, indoor desk job. You need contact with the public and physical activity to be content. You have definite pride in what you can do and want to be tops in your field. But, if you find you are falling short of your ideas of perfection, you are rather too likely to change your objective rather than stick to the original one. This is not so much a matter of lowering your own standards as it is trying to fit your talents, honestly, to what you think you can do efficiently. A happy marriage is important for you and it would be wise for you to select someone who has similar cultural and intellectual tastes. Handsome is as handsome does—and beauty without a brain to back it up would become very tiresome for you for a whole lifetime!

VIRGO (Aug. 24-Sept. 23)—By helping someone near and dear to you who may be in trouble, you will bring yourself joy. LIBRA (Sept. 24-Oct. 23)—Pay attention only to the facts. Daregard rumor and gossip. Whatever you do, don't repeat it. SAGITTARIUS (Dec. 23-Jan. 20)—If things go more slowly than you wish, hold your temper and don't get impatient. Won't do any good. AQUARIUS (Jan. 21-Feb. 19)—Monottonous and somewhat boring today, but getting your routine chores done is very important. PISCES (Feb. 20-Mar. 20)—If you have taken on too much work, get additional help. No use wearing yourself out, needlessly. ARIES (Mar. 21-Tpr. 20)—If you are in charge of personnel work at the office, be sure to pick the right person for an important job. TAURUS (Apr. 21-May 21)—Conservative action, especially in business affairs, is recommended just now. Don't be too adventuresome. GEMINI (May 22-June 21)—If you find yourself getting bored with life's dull monotony, join a group of people with new interests. CANCER (June 22-July 23)—If financial matters are coming up for decision or reconsideration, consider all angles carefully. LEO (July 24-Aug. 23)—Make all your plans ahead carefully if you want things to go smoothly at home or the office. Haste can make waste. preme Court.

As It Was Told to Me by HARMAN NICHOLS COLUMBUS, O., (UP)—These house builders are taking some of the pleasure out of the life of down-trodden man. I've just finished looking over 25 places on display at what is called the "Parade of Homes," here, a part of National Home Week, backed by the National Association of Home Builders. These homes are on a nice, sodded plot, and look like nice places to settle down to slipper and pipe with the hound dog at your feet like you see in the magazines. But something is lacking. I found very few of the lockin' slammin' doors that used to mean man's escape from feminine yak-yak. The doors slide silently so that even the neighbors don't know that the old man has locked himself into his den to pout. What grown man wants to pout it off in the living room in front of his young and company? But there is a plus side to the housing in this area. The houses range in price from one selling for $12,500, and bring you to one built by George Sellers for $25,000. Grow The sodding and that come on top of these George had the hard mind, through a silent little light save the old gent can around dawn without body up, including me.

To find what the stars have in store for tomorrow, select your birthday star and read the corresponding paragraph. Let your birthday star be your daily guide. Ambling With Ann By Ann Wardell Saunders Loretta Young says she's forsaking the glamour-flickers for TV, but definitely. She has had a long and exciting career in films—her first big break came in 1928, when she played the tightrope walker in "Laugh, Clown, Laugh." She bridged the gap between silent and talking pictures with the natural grace of a ballet dancer, which she started out to become. Loretta is an authority on antiques. She likes comfort, jungle rhythms, old china, and the latest creations of Irene, as well as the briefest possible phone conversations and colored popcorn for Christmas tree decorations. She makes her TV debut soon as hostess-narrator-star of "Letter to Loretta." Clark Gable and Spencer Tracy, who hadn't seen each other for a couple of years, had a reunion in Paris, after which Clark took off for England to emote in "The True and the Brave" with Lana Turner. Tracy scurries back to Hollywood for "Bad Day at Parma." Director George Sherman was on hand with a camera crew at Santa Barbara for the sports car races, garnering atmospheric scenes for "Johnny Dark," starring Tony Curtis and Piper Laurie. David Porester, who founded and led the famed wartime Hollywood Canteen Symphony orchestra, has picked up the baton for the San Bernardino Valley Symphony. If you have a honin' to sing in a choir, Conductor H. Frederick Davis is quietly signing up vocal talent for a huge Mormon Choir, to be second only to the famous one in Salt Lake City. Be on the lookout for an outdoor Bowl, suitable for musical and dramatic events, in the Palos Verdes Hills; it's wanted as a center for summer events for the Long Beach—Redondo Beach vicinity. "Pal Joey," at the Greek Theatre, is about the liveliest funest, highly spiced with sex, we've seen in these parts for quite a spell. I predict, at the risk of losing my head (as all false propheta should, and rightly so) that Harold Lang's star will ascend much as Gene Nelson's did, after his showing in the original. Mother Nature isn't always so cooperative, but for "The Par Country" she outdid herself. Seems Director Anthony Mann had a special camera crew keeping constant vigil on a mountainside in Glacier Park for ten dyas because of a threatening avalanche. When the slide failed to happen, the Park superintendent was petitioned to permit the use of explosives to start it. While the discussion still was in progress, the ice began to crack, and thousands of tons of it thundered down the mountain slope. Donald O'Connor celebrated his birthday by licking the Q bug.

Plato says: "The punishment suffered by the wise who refuse to take part in government is to live under the government of bad men." In Washington Scenes NICK C. OTHMAN make antagonists smile at each other. I doubt if there's a man alive who could qualify. Only a woman would fit in here and that maybe not such a bad idea. For one thing she'd have an office, with a pastel bath, especially installed for her. Mme Secretary Frances Perkins even had put in trick outlets so she could perk her own coffee in her private sanctum. This was not only because she liked coffee, herself, but because she figured even the bitterest of enemies couldn't get too rough with steaming cups balanced on their knees. Let 'em get excited and they'd scald themselves. Her system worked beautifully for years for Miss Perkins; I see no reason why it wouldn't function as well for a Republican Mme Secretary. The hotel rooms are unavailable to travelers because our town is jammed with conventions scheduled into next year. Not as many of the delegates will get in to meet the President as they did when Harry Truman was in charge, but the secretaries of widely assorted associations continue trying to make arrangements for executive handshakes, wholesale. At the moment we have with us the American Bankers Association whose members are not so steely-eyed as you might think. So now I'm invited to breakfast with them to see what is called the first new invention in bank vault doors in the last 100 years. I have seen a picture of this new door and it looks about like any other door to a bank safe, all shiny steel with a big wheel in front. I guess the revolutionary part is inside and since I don't have much to put in a vault, except baby pictures, I expect to eat breakfast at home. What's worrying the bankers, aside from its isn't so much the state of business as what the seers think it will be this time next year. My advice to the moneymen is listen to the predictions of the economy. WASHINGTON, Sept. 22—Woodrow Wilson used to say that there were two kinds of public speeches that a president could deliver—the explicit and the implicit. He preferred the latter. Evidently President Eisenhower agrees. For the address he gave at Boston, standing by itself, means less than what will be read into it. As a political speech, it was probably ineffective. As an essay on politics, it contains a truth and a sincerity of expression and purpose which, coming from so earnest and devoted a public servant as Dwight Eisenhower, will carry more weight with the public than the same platitudes uttered by someone else. The address is a curious one. Nothing quite like it can be recalled by this correspondent. There have been many speeches which were over the heads of listeners, but there have not been many that didn't concentrate on a few simple points and make those points clear. Mr. Eisenhower was heralded as having begun an inspirational campaign to help build the prestige of the Republican party and to aid the members of congress in their 1954 campaign. Students of political science and political history may regard it as sufficiently academic, but this is not the kind of speech that begets votes or gives the party worker the stimulus to zealous activity. In brief, Mr. Eisenhower's speech shows the effects of a desperate effort to cover too many peepes and to fashion them into something that can be called Republican Party Principle. But in doing this, the speech itself argues vehemently against consistency and boasts that nothing that has happened in the past "is conclusively clear and binding upon us today." First and foremost, the speech sets out to prove that the Republican Party is not opposed to change. This is a piece of defensive strategy which recognizes the criticism that the Republicans want to stand pat. Thus the President remarks: "We are the political cavities of party of the last 100 years. The President seemed to be floundering—his unfamiliarity with his own party tradition seemed to project itself from many a lumbering paragraph. Thus he says: "This is the kind of America—and thine kind of Republican Party—in which I believe. I do not know how to define it with political labels. Such labels are, in our age, cheap and abundant. But they mean as little as they cook. "We are many things. We are Liberal—for we do believe that, in judging his own daily welfare, each citizen, however humble, has greater wisdom than any government, however great." "We are progressive—for we are less impressed with the difficulties we observed yesterday than the opportunities we envision tomorrow." "We are conservative—for we conceive of no higher commission that history could have conferred upon us than that which we humbly bear—the preservation, in this time of tempest and of peril, of the spiritual values that alone give dignity and meaning to man's pilgrimage on earth." Those are definitions that are hard to grasp. For one could easily interchange the paragraphs and put them opposite a different label and they still might be acceptable as a generality applicable to any creed or politics or party. The speech is hard to follow in print. It sounds impressive on radio and television because of the personality who speaks the lines. But a very small percentage of 50,000 voters probably will understand just what the President meant, for instance, when he said: "We have opposed, the confusing of loyalty with conformity, and all misguided attempts to convert freedom into a privilege licensed by censors." One might hope that a sentence like that would be followed by an explicit example. Otherwise, it left dangling in the stratosphere as a piece of political ambiguity in which platform writers lose themselves. It remains significant of the Is Told to Me MAN NICHOLS $12,500, and bring your own lot, to one built by George Byrd, which sells for $25,000, ground included. The sodding and the other extra come on top of these prices. George had the harried male in mind, through, when he installed a silent little light switch so that the old gent can tippy-toe in around dawn without waking anybody up, including mama. Another builder down the trail had the old fellow and his pals in mind when he designed an $18,000 rambler which rambles up and down a far piece. The owner of this place could stage an 81-12 foot indoor race. That's the length of the house. The man could make it an obstacle run if he routed the race around the coffee tables, small pots of palms, davenports and the dining room set. I have been invited to participate in the first race of this kind sometime after the football season is over and you can watch your local public prints for the results. the whole program if she wanted. "I got the job on my own," she said firmly. "I just happened to be the type they wanted. Actually, being Mrs. Ackerman often is more of a hindrance. "I've lost a lot of acting jobs—directors bend over backwards not to give me work." Besides, she went on, she's been Mrs. Ackerman for 14 years. They met when she was a radio actress and he happened to directing the program in New York. She continued to work after the marriage "because I want to." Irma Smarter "The My friend Irma" show gets an overhauling this season because producer Nat Perrin figured it needed some fresh plots and personalities as a boost. "We received many letters from fans complaining that Jane was too hard on Irma," explained Miss Shipp. "Irma also won't be quite so dumb from now on. She'll be warmer and more believable." In the scripts, Jane goes to fashion them into something that can be called Republican Party Principle. But in doing this, the speech itself argues vehemently against consistency and boasts that nothing that has happened in the past "is conclusively clear and binding upon us today." First and foremost, the speech sets out to prove that the Republican Party is not opposed to change. This is a piece of defensive strategy which recognizes the criticism that the Republicans want to stand pat. Thus the President remarks: "We are the political captives of no class or section or interest of our country—and we are the prisoners of no static political or economic dogmas ruling our decisions." This is rather a broad claim of flexibility for any political party to make. It leaves little room for loyalty to principal or basic doctrine. It certainly ignores many historic achievements of the Republican Women's Work By GAY PAULEY United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK (7) - Perle Mesta and Elsa Maxwell are famous party throwers, but there is a woman from Kissimmee, Fla., who makes those two look like pilkers. Mrs. Brownie Wise puts on approximately 1,000,000 parties per year, in homes, churches, clubs; has even given them on boatships. She's supervised get-together from New York to California, from Maine to the Gulf of Mexico, even has given a few in Alaska, Hawaii and Puerto Rico. Mrs. Wise's shindigs are not the big blowouts la Mesta, with diplomats, royalty, presidents and senators. Her guests usually are housewives, sometimes husbands of housewives, and usually the guest list totals only 10 to 25. Party Selling Mrs. Wise, a handsome woman with grey hair and bright brown eyes, is vice president and general manager of Tupperware, an Orlando, Fla., concern which sells plastic housewares by the home-party system. There are several companies, selling everything from cleaning materials to cosmetics on the home-party plan. Mrs. Wise's company, founded in April, 1951, uses the same principle of most of them. Dealers—and—usually they are women, some of them house-wives earning money spare-time—contact one woman in a neighborhood and ask whether she would like to have some of her friends in for a brief visit—usually 20 to 30 minutes. If the woman agrees to act as hostess, the dealer then puts on a demonstration of the wares' use before the women who come to call. The dealer also takes orders on the scene. An Accident The woman acting as hostess usually serves a simple refreshment—tea and cookies or coffee and cake. In return for acting as hostess, she may personality who speaks the lines. But a very small percentage of $0,000-000 voters probably will understand just what the President meant for instance, when he said: "We have opposed, the confusing of loyalty with conformity, and all misguided attempts to convert freedom into a privilege licensed by censors." One might hope that a sentence like that would be followed by an explicit example. Otherwise, it is left dangling in the atmosphere as a piece of political ambiguity in which platform writers lose themselves. It is reminiscent of the ponderous vocabulary of a Harding. It is far removed from the ghost-written speeches of Franklin Roosevelt. What they need at the White House is either a new ghost writer or a course in practical politics.

The "My Friend Irma" show gets an overhauling this season because producer Nat Perrin figured it needed some fresh plots and personalities as a boost. "We received many letters from fans complaining that Jane was too hard on Irma," explained Miss Shipp. "Irma also won't be quite so dumb from now on. She'll be warmer and more believable." In the scripts, Jane goes to Panama so Marle looks for a new roommate, and gets me. Her boy friend, Al, won't be in it any more, either. The girls will have a nicer apartment. An Accident The woman acting as hostess usually serves a simple refreshment—tea and cookies or coffee and cake. In return for acting as hostess, the company presents her with assorted gifts—percolators, lamps, blankets, jewelry, or toys. "The method of selling is so successful because of the convenience to the woman," the executive said. "Women can buy while catching up on the latest neighborhood news." Of course, Mrs. Wise doesn't personally stage all the 1,000,000 parties per year. She has the help of some 6,000 dealers. Some of the home parties have been memorable. There was the time before she joined the housewares company when she was demonstrating a wall cleaner which was supposed to be safe on any painted surface. "But one manufacturer had just come out with a water-based paint," she said. "So one swipe of the cleaner on this woman's living room wall and off came the paint. We had to do the whole room over."
