The Yanks Who Went Red The public attitude of shock and astonishment at news that 23 American prisoners of war had gone over to the Communists was natural enough at the time. On second thought, however, the real wonder should be that Red propagandists succeeded in affecting so tiny a percentage of the thousands of young and pliant minds who were in their hands through such a long and bitter captivity. The 23 Yanks who rejected their country amounted to but one man in 150 of the total of 3500 American POW’s. It is surely reasonable to suppose that some of the U.S. boys had strong leftist leanings before they ever saw Korea. Indeed, the fact that 149 in every 150 resisted all the pressure, the torture, the lies and propaganda wiles used upon them would indicate that the Communists' conversion program was a monumental failure.

Indeed, the fact that 149 in every 150 resisted all the pressure, the torture, the lies and propaganda wiles used upon them would indicate that the Communists' conversion program was a monumental failure. They would appear, overall, to have lost ground—strengthening the faith in democracy and freedom in many men where they weakened it in a pitiful few. It is hard to see how Communism can make much of a selling point from the cold statistics of the POW record, even among the ignorant masses of Asia. Christmas Outlook Favorable The economic indexes may be having their ups and downs but there are indications that the coming Christmas shopping season will be a dilly. Earnings continue high with some 63% million persons holding jobs and with the personal income of the nation running around $288 billion annually. There are about 18 million families whose earnings average nearly $7,000 a year—$6,812, according to the statisticians. This group by itself is putting out $94 billion annually in purchases. And more specifically in regard to Christmas, the banks which will soon distribute their Christmas Club funds indicate that this year's melon will be the biggest ever. Last year, Bank of America alone dispersed $35 million to 300,000 persons here in California. Of course, not all such money goes into Christmas purchases, some goes back into savings, some for taxes, insurance premiums and so on. But much of it is represented under the Christmas tree and this year the gift pile should reach a new high. Incidentally, if you're not one of those who saved for this Christmas, this is a good time to plan for 1954. Next year you'll be glad that you did. This year, as always, the early shoppers will have the advantage. They'll have the widest selection and will avoid the stampede that develops as the 25th of December draws near. They'll also avoid the disappointment that results when supplies become depleted. Why not plan your Christmas shopping now? It's not too early.

Friday, October 16 LIBRRA (Sept. 24-Oct. 28) Mems are excellent today and ideas for progress should be Hollywood By VERNON SCOTT HOLLYWOOD (UP)—Barn Eddle Cantor can be a very guy when he's working humanitarian cause, as he Sunday night TV show. The comedian, a man named Hollywood respectfully called Cantor, is proving again the heart, like his name, is amply biggest in the film colony given as much time to benefit formances and charitable acts as any man in or out of the entertainment business. This time it's a clothing for the citizens of East Germany. After reading President Elser's plea for aid to the poor stricken Germans behind the Curtain, Cantor decided to help out his own crusade to help out Vengeance Unimportant. "I know how horrible it was Germany's enemies during War II," he said, "but I also that the world must be more fled to fight a far greater SUNSET? The David Lawrence Dispatch (BY DAVID LAWRENCE) WASHINGTON, Oct. 18. — The White House might well be concerned about the defeat experienced by the Republican nominee for congress in the Ninth district in Wisconsin. For, when only 21,000 Republicans go to the polls this time, as compared with 81,000 who voted Republican in the same district eleven months ago, there is something to be explained. The late Senator Taft used to say again and again that when Republicans stay at home in large numbers, it's either because they don't care which nominee wins or because they are overconfident about the outcome anyway. There was, of course, much disaffection over the farm issue, particularly the drop in farm income which started under the Truman administration but which operates against the Republican party because it's in power today. To say, however, that the farm question is the only reason for the defeat of the Republican nominee is to ignore the trend in that same district heretofore. The late Merlin Hull, who was a La Follette Republican, got the benefit of both the radical and conservative votes in the Republican party and in November 1950 he got 60,000 Republican votes, while the Democratic nominee got about 25,000. This was an off-year election—that is, there was no presidential ticket in the field. A comparison can also be made with 1946, when Mr. Hull got 70,000 votes and had virtually no opposition. Fewer than 1,000 votes were cast for the other candidate, who was a Socialist. Back in 1944 the same thing happened when Mr. Hull, running as a Progressive, got 48,000 votes against 736 for his Socialist opposition. But in 1942, as a Progressive, Mr. Hull got 38,000 votes while the regular Republican polled about 20,000. So the Ninth Wisconsin District hasn't been a clear-cut example of a straight-out Republican and Democratic fight. The late republican used to vote in congress Mr. Hull did, got 28,000. Obviously publicans who wanted to protest on farm policies to the Democratic side but most of the regular cans—who probably voted for President Eisenhower vember and would have Padrutt—did not come out at all. This was either because confident the district go Republican anyway they weren't much concerned the issues — nobody h them. The Democratic National palign committee thought the special election to see of its prominent speakers Secretaries of Agriculture and Wickard, Senator Koehler. The Republican campaign managers didn't contest seriously enough to the vote. Now it could be that my regular Republicans stare because they, too, have of their enthusiasm for hower administration. So it is going to be very for the White House to worry a lot more about the Republicans it may be about the New Deal Deems to be angling for its policies. The moral of the Wisconsin tion for the Democrats hammering away on tha tions that the Republicans get out their vote, and for the Republicans is will lose many a district ber 1954 if they take it f that they can allow a deflection without offset getting the stay-at-home cans to go to the polls. A total of 124,000 people November 1952 for a con candidate in the 9th Wise trict. This week both pa cast a total of less than When Vice President Richard Nixon and Senate Majority Leader William F. Knowland arrived on the West Coast together last week—arm-in-arm and beaming—one would never have suspected that these two young men are chief rivals for one of the juiciest political plums in the country—GOP leadership in California. Right now there is a vacuum created by the departure to Washington of Chief Justice Earl Warren, who, for so many years held that leadership. But vacuums don't remain very long. The question is: who is going to fill it? Both Nixon and Knowland have good reasons for wanting to hold control out here. Principal among these is the Presidency of the United States. Both are believed anxious to succeed President Eisenhower either in 1956, should Ike not run for a second term, or in 1960. Control of the California delegation to the Republican convention would be a long step toward that goal for the one in command. Should Eisenhower run again in '56, an out-and-out showdown is inevitable. Not only in California, but in Washington, D.C., and throughout the country this looming struggle will be watched with great interest. Both Nixon and Knowland are men of ability and integrity. Let us hope that their natural desire to go higher on the political ladder doesn't lead to a disastrous split in the California Republican ranks. Your Birthday Forecast (BY STELLA) THURSDAY, OCTOBER 15 — Born today, you are one of those who will always find the artistic dreamer in you having a tussle to cope with the practical things in life. You do not enjoy business or commercial life, although you have a native ability in financial affairs that will carry you through life satisfactorily. The arts and the professions are the fields in which you will be happiest, for you have talent in this direction and should artize it. Interested in the occult and the mysterious, you might wish to investigate the subject quite thoroughly. You have an interest in medicine, as a theory, which may be offset by your natural dislike for the ardour detail work connected with pursuing it as a life work. You women probably make sympathetic courses, although you might not wish to do it except in your own home. In other words, you are versatile and will need to select what you want to do early in life and concentrate on it, or you may become fairly good at a lot of different things but not outstanding in any one. You are generous, sometimes to a fault, and need to be a little gruffable when asked for help and assistance. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — There is important work to be done, so don't permit yourself to be side-tracked. Keep your nose to the grindstone. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 28-Dec. 22) — Whatever skills you have developed should come in handy right now. Make good use of them. CAPRICORN (Dec. 23-Jan. 20) — Avoid getting involved in an argument. You can be sarcastic and regret it the next instant. AQUARIUS (Jan. 21-Feb. 19) — Avoid too much haste or you could make a costly mistake! Take your time and do things right the first time. PISCES (Feb. 30-Mar. 20) — Minor setbacks are easily overcome, so look optimistically into the future and make your plans accordingly. ARIES (Mar. 21-Apr. 20) — Finish what you begin today and you will benefit from a feeling of true accomplishment. TAURUS (Apr. 21-May 21) — If you have an important conference, make sure that you are prompt and that you make the best possible appearance. GEMINI (May 22-June 21) — Never put off what can be done today with a Socialist. Back in 1944 the same thing happened when Mr. Hull, running as a Progressive, got 48,000 votes against 738 for his Socialist opposition. But in 1942, as a Progressive, Mr. Hull got 38,000 votes while the regular Republican polled about 20,000. So the Ninth Wisconsin District hasn't been a clear-cut example of a straight-out Republican and Democratic fight. The late representative Hull was a New Deal Republican and in the last congress often voted against the Eisenhower administration. The Republican nominee this time, State Senator Arthur Padrutt, was a regular organization man who promised to support the Eisenhower administration. He got 21,000 votes. His opponent, the successful Lester Johnson, who promotes Othman's Views on Washington State By FREDERICK C. OTHMAN KINGSTON, JAMAICA, B.W.I. — I wouldn't say that the Queen of England has turned Sir Hugh MacIntosh Foot and his Lady into nervous wrecks. But she has presented them with a problem such as few householders ever faced. Queen Elizabeth is dropping in on the Foods for a couple of days next month and Lady Foot isn't merely dusting out the spare bedroom. She's practically rebuilding her house. Sir Hugh, a veteran of the British Colonial service, is governor of Jamaica and a sophisticated man he is, too, but never before has he tangled with a Queen at such close quarters. Husband like, he has turned the details over to his wife and I am pleased to report she's bearing up well. Only thing that's worrying her now is whatever can she do with 2,500 guests at her garden party in the Queen's honor, in case of rain? The little matter of a luncheon for 600 people she has solved. My own thought was that maybe the Queen also would like a good meal. Lady Foot said she'd thought about that and intended to provide the best food she would find, but that it really wasn't important. "At an affair like this," said she, "People don't eat. They just gawk." You cannot blame them; they've never seen a Queen before." Hilda and I almost didn't get to the governor's house. Neither did the rest of the delegation from the S.S. Alcoa Cavallier. We almost went to jail as peculiarly flagrant smugglers. The idea was to present Sir Hugh and Lady Foot a hand.

The radio-TV star rolled his huge eyes, but not humorously, and ruminated about the international situation.

"Right now it's up to the free nations of the world to provide for the enslaved ones," Cantor said seriously. "We have to win them over to our side—peacefully. For instance on this clothes drive. "I think good warm coats, dresses, suits and shoes mean a lot more to those unhappy people than all the propaganda in the world. We spend millions of dollars on the Voice of America programs—but one warm overcoat means more to a cold man than all the words and theories we can dream up." PHIL NEWSOM Geographically, 300-square mile Trieste may be small, but in the world scheme of things it looms large. Since World War II it has been the principal source of difficulty between Yugoslavia and Italy, difficultities which often seem more emotional than real, but which are a real block to Mediterranean unity. Russia used failure to settle the future of Trieste as an excuse to block a peace treaty with Austria. Trieste is back in the news today with all the old conflicts magnified out of all proportion. The situation expoded last Thursday when the United States and Britain announced they were turning the administration of Allied occupied "Zone A," which in cludes the port city of Trieste, over to the Italians. Quick Reaction They proposed that Yugoslavia should continue to hold the territory "Zone B," but Yugoslavia's Marshal Tito reacted quickly and angrily. A part of his violent reaction seemed due to the fact he was caught by surprise, and thus without a plan. Hence, the bewildering assortment of ultimatums, three proposals coming out of India and the attack against United States and British services which resulted serious injury to an American formation service employe. Mobs do not ordinarily re-checked in Communist without government sanction. On Monday, Russia entitle picture. Accused of Violation It said the United States British plan violated their peace treaty because it "ed" the setting up of a fraternity of Trieste, and accost Western Allies of Trieste into an illegal angelian military base. The anglo-American war was an obvious attempt by positive action by Yugoslav Italian stalemate. Surprisingly, it has been ed calmly by the Italians parentally had some warning coming, but angrily by the slavs who in the past had caged they would settle fornent possession of "Zone A" who now apparently have their price. GLEANED FROM FILE THIRTEEN Compiled by Jim Duncan From the Wires of United Press File Thirteen was overflowing this week with stories concerning everything from mountain climbing to lassooing a whale, so we'll reach down into it and pull one out at random. Ah, here we are. This one has a slight odor about it. In Los Angeles, police sniffed for clues yesterday in the hi-jacking of Ed Alameda's truck. The cargo was 8700 pounds of garlic. Elsewhere around the country, police were kept busy with some unusual cases. Randus Hopper, 22, of Memphis Tenn., was sentenced to three years in prison to register for the draft. Hopper said he "couldn't find the draft board." Up in Yakima, Wash., Porter McKay, 48, who escaped from the city jail recently, was back in his cell today. McKay was arrested when he showed up at another city jail with gifts of candy and cigarettes for the inmates. A habitual drunk with a record of more than 400 arrests became indignant when he was loaned by the city jail in Fort Worth, Texas to the county for road gang work. "I ought to be put on city work, not county work," he complained. Mayor George Dempster of Knoxville, Tenn., cautioned members of the police force not to cuss when making arrests because "A man ought to reserve profanity for his friends and not just spread it around." Two robbers invaded a home in New York the other day, only to learn that their intended victims had moved four months ago. sey, assistant to the president of the Pacific Northern Airlines, said he caused a mild flurry of excitement at a print shop when he phoned to ask about the printing of the airline's mid-year financial report. "I guess it was because I said it was Mr. Kinsey inquiring about the mid-year report," he said. Roy Kitchen, 22, and Mathlee Cook, 17, both of Mead, Wash applied for a marriage license this week in Coeur D'Alene, Ida. The Clermont County Sun in Batavia Ohio, taking note of the tight water supply in neighboring Bethel, reported that residents there were mailing letters with stamps affixed with paper clips. Speaking of the postal service in Utsjoki, Finland, the Rev. K. Aittokallio wanted to build new chapel in his parish in northern Finland. There are no roads into the Arctic Circle area and deivery was an acute problem. The minister instructed a bric factory to mail the bricks — on at a time. Way down in Johannesburg, South Africa, the East London Caledonian Society has decided to sing only "Auld Lang Syne" at the close of its meetings. The Scottish group stopped singing "God Save the Queen" and the Afrikaans 'Die Stem' because three national anthems are too many to sing at the close of a meeting. Now for the animal department Seeing is believing. A woman, seeing W. S. Lloyd hunting in the woods at Squaw Creek Canyon, California, stopped him and asked: "My husband is trying to hunt For the Democrat is to keep hammering away on the assumptions that the Republicans will not get out their vote, and the moral for the Republicans is that they will lose many a district in November 1954 if they take it for granted that they can allow a substantial defection without offsetting it by getting the stay-at-home Republicans to go to the polls. A total of 124,000 people voted in November 1953 for a congressional candidate in the 9th Wisconsin District. This week both parties there cast a total of less than 50,000 votes. One would think an election to choose a member of Congress would be an important today as it was 11 months ago. It was the smallest total vote since the late Representative Hull ran virtually unopposed in 1944. (Reproduction Rights Reserved) or (Copyright, 1955, New York Herald Tribune Inc.) Washington Scenes C. OTHMAN what was in that big box? We told him a gift for the governor. He said why hadn't we paid duty on it? We said we didn't think the governor would want us to. He said he know we actually were taking this package to Sir Hugh. We said why didn't he join our happy party and see for himself? Shaking his head sadly at the ways of Americans, he let us go. Duty free. The governor and his wife were making do in the midst of plastering, painting, floor scraping, carpeting, and new porch rails in honor of the Queen, but they received us cordially. One small man in a long white coat with brass buttons passed cigarettes and lit 'em. Another in a ditto kept our cocktail glasses filled with Martins from a large glass pitcher, while a third passed the hot sausage canape. Lady Foot didn't do much eating; she was too busy thinking what to tell the refurbishers to do next. For one thing she believed the Queen deserved the best bed in Jamaica, so Lady Foot planned to move from her own bedroom and take up residence in a smaller, tighter one upstairs. She also said the visit of the Queen should turn out to be a break for all future governors of Jamaica. The governor's mansion these many years has been an old house, gray inside and out, and not much fun to live in. Lady Foot said she believed that by the time she'd finished, it would be one of the brightest, most comfortable houses in the Caribbean. Long live the Queen. I, and may all future governors profit from the fruits of her visit. As for Sir Hugh, he said about all he'd done for the Queen personally so far was buy a new auto- Mayor George Dempster of Knoxville, Tenn., cautioned members of the police force not to cuss when making arrests because "A man ought to reserve profanity for his friends and not just spread it around." Two robbers invaded a home in New York the other day to learn that their intended victims had moved four months ago. Mrs. Charles S. Green, present owner of the house, offered to go to a nearby store to cash a check when the thieves found only $10 in her purse. "Don't bother," they said. "Ive made a mistake. We intended to rob the Parkers." This Indian really used his head in Farmington, New Mexico, an angry Navajo Indian used his head when his wife refused to give him the keys to the family automobile. Police said he butted head-on into the first car he met. Frank Barnes, the astounded driver, took him to a hospital for repairs. You just can't trust anybody any place at any time a woman in Singapore learned when she visited the shrine of the virgin goddess Wong Koo Leong to pray for prosperity. As she knelt two armed men robbed her of $35, then escaped. A resident of Bellingham, Wash., complained to police Monday about a hearse parked in front of his house for five days. "It bothers me mentally," he said. The police had the vehicle removed. The following advertisement appeared in a Detroit newspaper yesterday: "To the party who left their car in my yard three months ago. If not claimed in seven days, I'm going to sell it." In Boulder, Colo., University of Colorado officials heartily endorse mountain climbing. However, Dean of Men George Desser said yesterday the school takes "a very dim view" of the Alpinish activities of freshman Morrough O'Brien of Berkeley, Calif., and junior Al Riordan of Omaha. The students set out to scale the "east face" of Mackey Auditorium. But at the 65-foot level, police ordered the climbers down. Firemen have their troubles, too, we find. In Nevada City, Calif., city firemen will scramble down the stairs from now on when an alarm is sounded instead. Caledonian Society has decided to sing only "Auid Lang Syne" at the close of its meetings. The Scottish group stopped singing "God Save the Queen" and the Afrikaans "Die Stem" because three national anthems are too many to sing at the close of a meeting. Now for the animal department Seeing is believing. A woman, seeing W. S. Lloyd, hunting in the woods at Squaw Creek Canyon, California, stopped him and asked: "My husband is trying to hunt bear, but there aren't any around here, are there?" A falling piece of tree bark distracted Lloyd. He looked up and fired. A 250-pound black bear fell at the woman's feet. In Chicago, a Brahma bull, ridden at the International Dairy Show rodeo the other night, seized the first opportunity to visit a couple of girl friends. The bull threw its rider, jumped an eight-foot fence, scattered hundreds of spectators and made its way to the dairy hall. Cowboys coaxed the bull back an hour later. A brown stallion went AWOl the hard way from its pasture along the Arkansas river near Muskogee, Okla. Charles Golpry reported he saw the stallion swim across the muddy half-mile-wide river after it was attracted by six mares grazing on the opposite bank. Over in Brighton, England, fisherman George Thwaites had a fish story about the big one that didn't get away. Thwaites, 88, lassoed a one-ton whale and with the aid of other fishermen, dragged his catch ashore. Film Shop By CLEMENT D. JONES United Press Staff Correspondent HOLLYWOOD (UP) — Film land in its do-or-die effort to stop television, has developed the twist of sexing up a picture by turning the actors into musical instruments, with the aid of an all jazz score. Take "Wicked Woman" for example. Broadway showgirl Beverly Michaels, in the role of a floozie, is identified with an alto saxophone. Her co-star, Richard Egan, is likened to a trumpet, and mousy Percy Heton acts to the accompaniment of a "dirty" trombone that blasts amusingly when Beervy evades his passes. Venturesome Clarence Greene and Russell Rouse, who dared to make a "silent" movie, "The Thief," starring Ray Milland, and got away with it, were sold on the revolutionary scoring idea for out to be a break for all future governors of Jamaica. The governor's mansion these many years has been an old house, gray inside and out, and not much fun to live in. Lady Foot said she believed that by the time she'd finished, it would be one of the brightest, most comfortable houses in the Caribbean. Long live the Queen, said I, and may all future governors profit from the fruits of her visit. As for Sir Hugh, he said about all he'd done for the Queen personally so far was buy a new automobile for her to ride in; his own was getting a little crumby around the edges. So he ordered from England a kind of sedan that opens up in the rear, so the people can see their Queen. He said he believed it was called a landaulet and it was a beauty. For Sir Hugh's sake, let us hope the Queen enjoys it. (Copyright, 1953, by United Feature Syndicate, Inc.)

Accused of Violations It said the United States and British plan violated the Italian peace treaty because it "obstructed" the setting up of a free territory of Trieste, and accused the Western Allies of transforming Trieste into an illegal anglo-American military base. The anglo-American proposal was an obvious attempt to break by positive action a Yugoslav and Italian stalemate. Surprisingly, it has been accepted calmly by the Italians who apparently had some warning it was coming, but angrily by the Yugoslavs who in the past have indicated they would settle for permanent possession of "Zone B," but who now apparently have raised their price. Desser said yesterday the school takes a very dim view" of the Alpinish activities of freshman Morrigh O'Brien of Berkeley, Calif., and junior A M江ordan of Omaha. The students set out to scale the "east face" of Mackey Auditorium. But at the 65-foot level, police ordered the climbers down. Firemen have their troubles, too, we find. In Nevada City, Calif., city firemen will scramble down the stairs from now on when an alarm is sounded instead of sliding down the traditional brass pole. The city council decided to remove the poles after Fire Chief Ralph Pierce said his men get down faster if they use the stairs. In the Dalles, Ore., Wasco County commissioners demanded an explanation when they came across a bill for 10 gallons of fire water. The bill was paid after the fire commissioner explained it was a type of soft water that is more effective than ordinary water in dousing fires. About 4000 persons watching a movie at Radio City Theater in Minneapolis, Minn., got worried when they smelled smoke. The manager quieted their fears by explaining the popcorn machine was overheated. The younger generation shared the limelight in the news this week also in Memphis, Tenn., the young son of Mrs. Elizabeth Laszard delayed a bus and caused a traffic tieup when he handcuffed himself to a pole in the vehicle. Passengers finally freed him. In Providence, R. I., youngsters were taking no chances on a barren Hallowe'en. They circulated "trick-or-treat" papers for neighbors to sign. There's nothing like being the early bird. The Christmas season started early this year for one American G.I. in Seoul, Korea. Pfc. James Graham of Purvis, Miss., said he had received a Christmas card from his girlfriend, Mary Jo Lewis of Purvis. In Seattle, Wash., R. O. Kin. Beverway showgirl Beverly Michaels, in the role of a floozle, is identified with an alto saxophone. Her co-star, Richard Egan, is likened to a trumpet, and mouse Percy Heton acts to the accompaniment of a "dirty" trombone that blasts amusingly when Bev erly evades his passes. Venturesome Clarence Greene and Russell Rouse, who dared to make a "silent" movie, "The Thief," starring Ray Milland, and got away with it, were sold on the revolutionary scoring idea for "Wicked Woman" by band leader Buddy Baker, a famous exponent of jazz. Baker was on the set during shooting of the film, helping director Rouse set moods and, at the same time, soaking up the characterizations. When the shooting was finished, the jazz man looked at a rough cut of the picture and began to score it. "I see a floozle as an alto sax," Baker explained. "A hero has got to be a trumpet, and a chimp like Helton portrayed is a blatting trombone when he's deflated. Egan's wife in the picture, a drunk played by Evelyn Scott, has to have a clarinet under her in the score. Not high, because that gives you a funny drunk. Low, because she's a tragic souse in the story." Beverly's sax doesn't play up in the cold register because then she'd be pure, flute-like. We kept it down where it's warm, sexy. After all, she's a tramp in the story." Baker pointed out that the thing of likening people to muscial instruments can be carried further. A nice gal is a flute, he says, "if she's petite. If she's ethereal she goes with strings. And strong men mean brass." If we'd had a good little boy in the cast, we'd have put a piccolo under him in the scoring, and if he'd been the rock-throwing, nose-thumbing kind, he'd have had a bassoon." he explained. Baker and Joe Mulendore whipped up the picture's title song in one night. When Greene and Rouse heard it they switched the title of the picture from its original "Free and Easy" to "Wicked Woman."
