After what happened at Urbana, Illinois last week, it is hard to believe that the Air Intelligence Service has any—at least in that neck of the woods. Deciding to make a test of the coordination between State police and civil defense authorities, the Air Intelligence Service proceeded, according to news accounts, as follows: They dressed up a Russian-speaking operative in "strange garb," and sent him to the police with the story that he was a Soviet flyer who had just bailed out from an invading MIG plane. One wonders, at this point, what Air Intelligence expected to "test" or prove. Maybe they thought the cop at the desk would run through the streets yelling bloody murder, or phone the White House. The policeman merely did what any sane person would do in the circumstances. He threw the stranger into the pokey and notified his superiors to check out the story. Meanwhile the story "leaked" to a radio broadcaster and to some of the news wires, and caused something of a stir for the moment.

That kind if cops-and-robbers nonsense, remindful of Orson Welles' invasion-from-Mars broadcast of years back, can do the cause of civil defense no good whatever. Lord Beveridge Has the Blues England's Lord Beveridge, who gained fame as chief author of the cradle-to-the-grave social security program for Britons, expressed misgivings the other day at a Liberal Party meeting in London. Some statistics he cited were progressively disquieting. 1. In 1901 there were 10 persons of working age for every person of 65 and older—the present social security retirement age. This age relationship is changing so rapidly that by 1971 there will be only three workers for each possible pensioner. 2. Already, in England, social security income barely balances out to recipients. In another 20 years or so, under present rules, there will be an annual retirement deficit of hundreds of millions of pounds to be met from general taxation. What to do? Lord Beveridge said he really didn't know. A stop-gap solution, to postpone the day of insolvency, might be to up the retirement age a few years, he pointed out, but added: "Is it fair that those who want to retire at 65 should have to go on working unwillingly while the younger people go in for a five-day week?" Then reverting to his original plan, the lord said unhappily: "Its aim was not security through a Welfare State but security by cooperation between the State and the individual. But successive governments, while paying lip-service to the principle of contributory insurance, abandoned the principle in practice in regard to old age security pensions." Sounds like an exact recapitulation of what's been going on in the Social Security program on our side of the Atlantic! Will the time come when the retirement age will have to be set around 90? Or will the workers in order to pay for the plan... unhappily: Its aim was not security through a Welfare State but security by cooperation between the State and the individual. But successive governments, while paying lip-service to the principle of contributory insurance, abandoned the principle in practice in regard to old age security pensions." Sounds like an exact recapitulation of what's been going on in the Social Security program on our side of the Atlantic! Will the time come when the retirement age will have to be set around 90? Or will the workers in order to pay for the plan, have to go back to the 1870's and the 12-hour day? Indeed, as Lord Beveridge remarked in true British understatement, Social Security "presents some difficult problems!" SONGS OF A SONNETEER BY R. LOU'S SCOTT "TOO MANY WORDS!" Yac-et-ty; yac-et-ty; yac-et-ty; yac! Our whys and wherefores in webs of words skeined As spiders mesh butterflies; forth and back, A cocoon spun, expounded and explained, By words reiterated till one's mind Is a gruesome maze of visions profaned And hopes deferred! Our each phrase underlined, Our each symbol warped and twisted to mean Something far other than our thought designed! Argumentation that would from Life wean Both what it has—and too, what it might lack: Arch hints which make purity look obscene— From the tips of tongues with the probing knack And their constant yac-et-ty; yac! yac! yac! Words—23/23 SORT O' CLOUDY The David Lawrence Dispatch (BY DAVID LAWRENCE) WASHINGTON, Oct. 18—This is a strange world of make-believe. Day after day from Britain and also from spokesmen in America come suggestions that America and her allies start "negotiating" with Soviet Russia. Or else Adlai Stevenson and others suggest that a "non-aggression" pact be signed with the Communists. Or else Britons, in urging a high-level conference of the heads of states including Russia, blame America for being cool to the idea. Then after several days of that type of news the disillusionment comes. Anthony Eden, foreign minister of Great Britain, says: "To read some comments you would think that a four-power meeting at the highest level was some magic formula which only the Americans prevent us from enjoying." There is no objection hereto talking with the Moscow government. It goes on all the time with diplomatic notes and with diplomatic conversations. But the American government's position is that "high-level conferences" are not likely to be of any avail if there is no commitment in advance either as to subjects to be discussed or what will be done about agreements already made and disregarded. There is an agreement in existence now to hold a "political conference on October 28 between the Communist side and the United Nations side with reference to the settlement of the problem of Korea. But to date the Communists have done nothing but talk and argue, and now the proposal has been made that the Palaver be resumed at Panmunjom to decide about the composition of the Korean "political conference." Then there is the talk about a "non-aggression" pact. Secretary of State Dulles made it clear recently that Soviet Russia wasn't honoring the existing provisions of the U.N. charter which provide against aggression, thus implying that there wasn't much use talking about another non-aggression treaty when those in existence were not being honored. Soviet Russia signed for instance and now exercise constrol over the Peiping war. It might be thought reading of some American patches, that the ideal aggression pact would thing to avoid an attack that anyone who criticizes pact is against effort peace in the world. "Pravda," the official name of the Moscow government, the proposals from America, non-aggression treaty. "American aggressives say 'Pravda' in a leaked broadcast over the war against the Union of Socialist Republic are fondly themselves behind its defensive pacts' on the Atlantic Pact. They effort to deceive the people and the people of Europe by masking their pact for aggression and by posing as a concern for the defense United States. "It is no accident that propaganda has intensified forts to turn black towns, aggressive blockades, defensive ones. More than the past few days a leading Americans have ing utterances to the North Atlantic Union ledged become 'a guarantee' for all European countries including the USSR." The "Pravda" editorial on to argue that the United States while not giving up its purposes, is closing them out pretence of defense. Thus, it will be noted Soviet propagandists are ready to distort all projections a non-aggression pact into that the United States will up its allegedly "aggressive poses." The Soviet editors thanked that nobody is in the aggression carried out by Communists not only in East Asia but in Far East. They believe that the American aggressors. With such movement in Moscow, it is serried posed by spokesman abroad that further talks "Worldwide action"—a sobering thought. No fair-minded person will condone the culprit husband who ducks his financial responsibilities. That's a very wrong thing. But women are surely grasping for a lot of power in this world. Only the other day it was reported from France that King Peter, formerly of Yugoslavia, will be sued for non-support by Queen Alexandra. If she wins, and those women magistrates have their "worldwide way, not even a King will have a place to hide. For then Alexandra can pursue and collar poor Peter even if he joins the Foreign Legion!

As It Was Told to Me by HARMAN NICHOLS WASHINGTON (UP)—It's about time somebody got around to tellins the life story of the late Glenn Miller, the Iowa lad who made good. That story soon will be told via the movies. It's a story about the famed orchestra leader who actually lost his life over a cup of coffee. Glenn was a native of Clarinda, Ia., but was reared in North Platte, Neb. There he worked out as a butcher boy and was paid off with a beat-up trombone. He troned out the dents, went to the University of Colorado, and before he knew what had hit him he found himself with a band. Joined Air Force His records outsold all others. He arranged the music for other big bands. Then along came World War II. Gen. Hap Arnold, about this time, noticed that Glenn was attracting young kids, the kind our Air Force needed. He planted a thought in Glenn's mind. He joined up, and was given a captaincy, and before long was taking his band of 62 pieces around the country, giving a spiel about the life of an airman. Col. Ed Kirby, chief of radio for the War Department, was brought back from Europe to set up radio to reach the Allied forces to be engaged in the invasion. Ed also was to pick up a staff band and talk to Miller over coffee in New York. Loat Over Channel He had in mind a few sales and trombones and such to make a network show for moral poses. Eight men, to be co-Miller had worked hard this band together, and it dandy. He said he was not to leave most of it behind he had 62 men. That could some doing on the part of Kirby. He got hold of his Gen. Ray Barker who finds the nod from Gen. Dwight Enhower, to fetch the whole to England. Miller and his arrived the day after D-Day did a job. They played did night, under some pretty conditions. The whole crew went, them came home, except leader. He was flying the Channel ahead of the rest boys on Dec. 15, 1944. He down and never again was from.

Fran Star (All rights reserved) There’s No Substitute for Circulation. **Lawrence Dispatch** **PHIL NEWSOM** United Press Foreign Analyst and now exercise considerable control over the Peliping government. It might be thought, from a reading of some American news dispatches, that the idea of a non-aggression pact would be just the thing to avoid an atomic war and that anyone who criticizes such a pact is against efforts to make peace in the world. Now comes "Pravda," the official newspaper of the Moscow government, to ridicule the proposals from America for a non-aggression treaty. "American aggressive circles," says "Pravda" in a leading editorial broadcast over the radio, "who are conducting preparations of a war against the Union of Soviet Socialist Republic are fond of screening themselves behind various kinds of 'defensive pacts' on the lines of the Atlantic Pact. They make every effort to deceive the American people and the people of other countries by masking their preparations for aggression and by presenting it as a concern for the defense of the United States." "It is no accident that American propaganda has intensified its efforts to turn black into white, namely, aggressive blocs into 'defensive' ones. More than that, in the past few days a number of leading Americans have been making utterances to the effect that the North Atlantic Union might allegedly become 'a guarantee of security' for all European states, including the USSR." The "Pravda" editorial then goes on to argue that the United States, while not giving up its aggressive purposes, is cloaking them still under pretense of defense. Thus, it will be noted that the Soviet propagandists are quite ready to distort all proposals for a non-aggression pact into a charge that the United States will not give up its allegedly "aggressive purposes." The Soviet editorials take it for granted that nobody is aware of the aggression carried on by the Communists not only in Europe but in the Far East. They make believe that the Americans are the aggressors. With such a government in Moscow, it is seriously proposed by spokesmen here and abroad that further talk could lead peace in the world. The Philippine political campaign is the latest to have added to it a note of anti-Americanism. Anti-Americanism is an increasingly popular theme among world politicians, even among those classed as friends of the United States, since, like slogans against sin, it is a good safe subject. The farther away the better because distance increases the chance that it will divert the electorate from unpleasant subjects nearby. The Philippines are in the closing stages of a bitter campaign for the presidency, vice presidency, eight seats in the senate and the entire house of representatives. **Serious Politics** Running for re-election is President Elpidio Quirino, 62, on the Liberal Party ticket. Opposing him in the Nationalist-Democratic coalition is Ramon Magsaysay, 46, a former blacksmith and bus line operator, who gained fame as the coeurde la Communist-led Hukalahap revolutionaries. Filipnoe take their elections seriously. Blood was shed freely in the elections four years ago, with more Women's Work By GAY PAULEY United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK (U.P.) — President Eisenhower has asked the nation's families to give clothing for the East Germans. And the woman who directs the drive says hubby is the one who should make the greatest sacrifice. The biggest need in any clothing drive is for men's trousers, says Charlotte Owen, executive director the American Council of Voluntary Agencies for Foreign Aid, which is coordinating the drive by 48 participating agencies. They talk about a man so generous he'd give the shirt off his back," she said. "Better it should be his pants, and I'm not trying to be funny. European Men Wear Pants Too It's almost impossible to get enough trousers in a clothing drive, because men will give away a coat or sweater if it's getting frazed than 100 deaths traceable to political differences. Quirino won but his defeated opponent, Jose P. Laurel, charged the Liberals stole the election through terrorism and coercion of the voters by the Army. Four years ago, Manila car owners displayed signs which in effect said: Again the Tempers "Please check your gun at the door." Now, as tempers again reach the fever pitch, those signs may be dusted off for use again. The elections are Nov. 10. Magsaysay, colorful but a relative newcomer to politics, is a former close friend of Quirino and served as Quirino's Minister of Defense. He quit his post to stump for the Nacionalista Party nomination. Aligned in his support are Laurel, Philippine president during the Japanese occupation, and Carlos P. Romulo, former Philippine ambassador to the United States and also its delegate to the United Nations. Romulo, who once had presidential aspirations of his own, probably will get his old job back if Magsaysay wins. Hollywood By ALINE MOSBY HOLLYWOOD (U.P.) — A handsome television "pitchman" hsa decided to be a dramatic actor because, said Richard Lewellen today, he learned to out-talk almost anybody. Lewellen would be the first of those silver-throated peddlers of potato peelers, hair tonic and used cars to graduate to straight acting roles in movies or on television. This would be an easy step, he thinks, since pitchmen are actors, and often vice versa. "I learned when pitching at state fairs to hold an audience rooted to the spot for an hour and a half-even when it would pour rain or somebody would faint," he said. Longest Commercial "An entertainer holds an audience, too, but often under easier circumstances."

Drive is for men's trousers, says Charlotte Owen, executive director the American Council of Voluntary Agencies for Foreign Aid, which is coordinating the drive by 48 participating agencies. They talk about a man so generous he'd give the shirt off his back," she said. Better it should be his pants, and I'm not trying to be funny. European Men Wear Pants, Too It's almost impossible to get enough trousers in a clothing drive, because men will give away a coat or sweater if it's getting frayed. But pants they save to work around the yard or to paint in. "American men must think men in other nations don't wear pants." The council's aid to Germany is not new. But Mr. Eisenhower gave the drive his personal blessing after West German Chancellor Konrad Adenauer appealed for "warm clothing, underwear, stockings, and shoes for the East zone." The council has shipped food, clothing and medicine to the depressed of 50 countries in Europe and Asia for nine years. It's managed to get iron lungs to polio-sticken persons behind the Iron Curtain. It has helped displaced persons find relatives in Europe or America. It even helped a Czech find an automobile part. He wrote that if his car were repaired "I could be self-supporting." He enclosed a photograph showing where the part was needed. Operation Cleak and Dagger Mrs. Elizabeth Reiss, Miss Owen's assistant, estimated that from 1946 through June 1953, 211,261,834 pounds of clothing, food and medicine, valued at $75,500,000 had gone to German civilians. Their is a real colak and dagger operation... and for untrained operators, they do pretty well. "We cannot tell how or through whom we get behind the Iron Curtain." Miss Owen said. Obviously we did, we'd be cut off immediately." Best rule in donating to the clothing drive is to ask, "would I wear it myself?" The council wants warm clothing for grownups and children, diapers and dark clothing rather than bright colors, because Europeans women don't like flashy reds and greens. Low or medium-heeled shoes of the sturdy type are preferable. And yard goods — heavy cottonts and woolens — plus sewing needs such as threads, buttons, and patterns also are acceptable. "But no nylon stockings," Miss Owen advised. "And no silly hats." Silver-throated peddlers owe potato peelers, hair tonic and used cars to graduate to straight acting roles in movies or on television. This would be an easy step, he thinks, since pitchmen are actors, and often vice versa. "I learned when pitching at state fairs to hold an audience rooted to the spot for an hour and a half-even when it would pour rain or somebody would faint," he said. Longest Commercial "An entertainer holds an audience too, but often under easier circumstances. I've had good training for acting." Lewellen, who learned pitching at State fairs, is a young phenomenon of television. He's a familiar face to many viewers, although he's never been an entertainer. He broke into video with a half-hour program, "A Hair-Raising Tale." Fans tuned in expecting a mystery show, but found Lewellen instead selling hair tones for a solid 30 minutes, the longest commercial then recorded. "Certainly some people didn't like the spiel. But when they wrote in to complain, they still ordered the hair tonic. Other people know my spiel by heart and ask for my autograph on the street." Hypnotic Talking The secret of a pitchman, he confided, is to "capture the audience's attention by the sound of your voice and constant, hypnotic talking." He also looks you straight in the eye while he talks. After five minutes of feeling nailed to the spot, you're ready to buy anything. Lewellen thinks several entertainers would make good pitchmen. "Arthur Godfrey is a natural peeking from underneath that eyebrow," he said. "He has natural warmth." "Ralph Edwards would make one of the greatest pitchmen. Billy Graham, the evangelist, is close to being a great medicine man." Boh Hope and Broderick Crawford would be tops at selling pills or handy little kitchen gadgets, too, he added. "But the late Franklin Roosevelt was the greatest of all," he said. Farmer McCabe October 13, 1953 After all the "Jack" we've sent to France, I notice where some French clothes designer insists that all American men will be wearing shorts for street wear within the next three years... Now wouldn't some of us look funny going down the street with pipe-stem legs and beer-barrel belies bulging out in knee britches — Fawl!
