Danger Spot
Events in far off places are often felt around the world in these days. British Guiana is a case in point. Apparently the Reds have been taking over down there right under the British nose. Guiana is not as vital to the British as, for instance, Malaya, where the warfare against the Communists has been going on for a long time. But the Guiana incident, together with the other Communist thrusts made at the British Empire throughout the world, make a definite pattern of Moscow intrigue that can't be passed off lightly.
Yet, while all this has been going on, the Churchill Government has tried to take a "treat-'em-nice" attitude toward the Kremlin. The British Labor Party wants to be even nicer to Malenkov and his cut-throats. Maybe the Guiana developments will be the straw that will break the back of British patience and politeness.
It certainly should break down their gullibility as

It certainly should break down their gullibility as to the good intentions of the Moscow crowd. They should remember that even though Stalin is gone the Communist thirst for world domination is as strong as ever.
Can't Stay Out
President Eisenhower has much to learn about politics. This became especially obvious last week when he stated emphatically that he would not take part in the 1954 congressional elections. In that election the very aim margin which the Republicans hold in the House and their control in the Senate which now exists only by courtesy of the Democrats and the one Independent, will be at stake. If Mr. Eisenhower thinks he can sit by under such conditions and not take part in the campaign, it means that he has never felt the pressure that office seekers can exert when they need the aid of a towering figure such as the President. No doubt the political angles of living in the White House are distasteful to the former general. Members of his party will desert him on legislative issues, but when they need his help they have no hesitancy to ask—even demand—it. Such are the ways of politics. Our guess is that willing or not, Mr. Eisenhower will not be able to stay out of the torrid battle now shaping up for next year.
Atomic Plant
The announcement that the Atomic Energy Commission will build an industrial power reactor big enough to produce electricity for a city of 50,000 people shows, as one member of the commission put it, that "even in this gravest phase of arming for defense, America's eyes are still on the peaceful future". Certainly it is vital that the peaceful uses of atomic energy be not wholly swallowed up in the race to keep its military developments ahead of those in Russia. It is possible, in fact, that industrial use of the atom may become fairly common before it is necessary to use that force (if ever) in actual military combat. Research for national defense which takes form in atomic cannons, bombs and guided missiles also helps to provide the knowledge which can be applied to industrial purposes. But it is important that atom-powered industrial plants actually be built since these would not only provide us with greater productive power for peace-time goods but for war supplies as well. The splitting of the atom poses a great danger.
Here is an excuse Nations, for those who present form and its evolution of the world.

News and Truth
The Soviet newspapers Pravda and Izvestia, being the principal newspapers of the tightly controlled Rusly Pravda, which means truth, scolded Izvestia, which sian press, rarely disagree with each other: But recent-means news, for not telling how well the Soviet collective farms were doing. Well, maybe Izvestia felt it couldn't report that as news and tell the truth.
SONGS OF A SONNETEER
BY R. LOUIS SCOTT
"STILL-BORN ECHO . . . !"
When Life was but the echo to a kiss;
When all we craved was waiting to be had:
We failed to realize the moment's bliss
Or to appreciate that Dawn was clad
In Midnight's garments—just turned inside-out!
We clung to dusk and all our songs were sad
That Morning's birth must put our stars to rout:
We laughed, we sang, we danced until the Dawn—
Then lauded Day—yet tempered praise with doubt!
Despite fair horoscopes Time's stars have drawn
And promises of nights we still might know—
The single moment we now hold in pawn
Is naught but a kiss's still-born echo
Which thunders down the ways we yet must go!

Your Birthday Forecast
(BY STELLA)
THURSDAY, OCTOBER 29. Born today, you men are so solidly reserved and dignified that you might borrow a little more of the "devil-may-care" attitude rightfully belonging to your birth sign. You are inclined to take life just a little too seriously. The reformer in you has driven out the adventurer and the result could turn out to be just a little "stuffy" if you didn't watch out. Bring out that sense of "deering-do" with which you were born and give it an airing now and then.
Possibly restrictions in childhood will have something to do with your serious attitude toward life. While very young, you will have enough mischief to make you a target for parental discipline. But don't let all of the fun-loving attitude toward life be knocked out of you or you will regret it later on in life.
Strangely enough, or one of your determination you are much too inclined to get settled into routine and stay with it until you become so geared to it that you just don't have the intesest, anymore, to break away. But if you do get out on your own, you may be surprised at how far you can go!
Wed someone who can keep alive the natural galaxy in your spirit. You women, on the other hand, seem to have learned how to retain it longer than you men. But you, too, can sometimes get a little too concerned with the serious side of life. If you wed young and raise a family, you will be happy and contented — and keep young, yourself.
To find what the stars have in store for tomorrow, select your birthday star and read the corresponding paragraph. Let your birth day star be your daily guide.

The Publisher Comments
Here is an excellent thought regarding the United Nations, for those who advocate its continuance in its present form and its present membership for the preservation of the world.
Mme. Suzzane Bastid of France, Lord Crook of Britain and Sture Petren of Sweden, the members of the United Nations Administrative Tribunal meeting in London, have decreed that four Americans who were fired from their United Nations jobs because they refused to answer if they were Soviet spies, should be paid damages of $48,320. In addition they and seven others who were fired received $135,000 in back pay.
The United States pays about forty per cent of the United Nations tag. In other words American people will be taxed about $80,000 to pay this group who either betrayed their country or refused to cooperate with the American Government in trying to unearth a betrayal of the United States.
If a group like Mme. Bastid, Lord Crook and Petren meeting in London can tax the American people to compensate American traitors, subversives, or fellow travellers, then the Congress of the United States should take action to stand up for our Country’s Sovereignity and preservation and tell the United Nations group where it gets off.
This little incident is only the beginning of the milking that this nation and its people will take when our good citizens who are advocating us unto the United Nations have completed their project. Through the use of UNESCO and by innuendo in the school text the people of the United States are being sold subservitism to the Communistic nations of the world.
Proponents of this liberal system do not like to be reminded, publicly, that they are selling their country short, they do not seem to be too proud of their objective yet they are working tirelessly to bring about an end to this Nation’s Democratic way of life.
As It Was Told to Me
by HARMAN NICHOLS
WASHINGTON (UP)—Back in the 1920s, Joe Helfert was a bright-eyed reporter in Milwaukee. One day he was on a fire-chasing assignment. Suddenly, a little fellow streaked out between a couple of parked cars, right in the path of Joe's machine. The reporter stomped on the brake and, as he recalls, "a miracle happened." He narrowly missed the child.
Joe, a little shaken, continued the chase to the fire and reported same. But in the back of his mind, as result of the near-acident, an idea formed.
Well, in 1928, not long after The editor's reward has been nil in dollars, but great in personal satisfaction for work well done. He has received a special honor from the National Safety Council, among other citations.
"Open Eye Clubs," Joe says, "now are organized in many schools. The children name their own officers. And whether they ever hold meetings doesn't mean so much if they themselves have become safety conscious."

HOLLYWOOD (UP)—Commuting between Hollywood and Broadway "at the drop of a picture or a play" has given Natalie Schafer a solid professional footing on both stage and screen but has played havoc with her nerves.
Natalie lives to fly. She also loves her three-pound Chihuahua, Chica.
And each time she makes a plane trip, she's forced to smuggle the dog aboard and keep it hidden throughout the trip. She usually carries Chica aboard in her hardbag, then after the takeoff, hides her inside her coat.
The five-year practice has made the otherwise calm actress one of the most nervous air passengers in the country. But it's had many humorous overtones.
On her last flight to Hollywood, where she appeared with Bob Hope in "Cassanova's Big Night," Natalie sat next to a businessman who remarked next morning that she'd had a restless night. She agreed, then gave him a glimpse of Chica inside her coat.
"Thank heaven you told me about the dog," said the man. "All night you were patting your stomach and whispering." The girl, that's a good girl."

The British have been sensitive for a long time about the United States' refusal to share atomic energy information.
Now, with their third atom's explosion since going "on their own" out of the way, they are sending up new trial balloons seeking a renewal of the free exchange of information.
Like most people, this correspondent wouldn't recognize an atomic bomb if he stumbled over one in the street, but like many press association men in the business during World War II, has had considerable experience with the secrecy surrounding it.
Before Hiroshima
Long before the first bomb exploded over Hiroshima the United Press began getting warnings from military censorship in Washington against any mention of the atom.
Now and then the telephone would ring and a hush-hush voice on the end would say: "Just enjoy yourself in their Have fun.

One day he was on a fire-chasing assignment. Suddenly, a little fellow streaked out between a couple of parked cars, right in the path of Joe's machine. The reporter stomped on the brake and, as he recalls, "a miracle happened." He narrowly missed the child.
Joe, a little shaken, continued the chase to the fire and reported same. But in the back of his mind, as result of the near-acident, an idea formed.
Well, in 1928, not long after Helfert had been made editor of the Beaver Dam, Wis., Citizen stories and features began to appear in the paper about something called "The Open Eye Club."
The editor's premise was that if the break-neck people with a heavy foot on the gas pedal were not careful enough to watch out for the small fry, the little ones should be taught to look out for themselves.
Helfert got some "Open Eye" butties printed. There is nothing which impresses a youngster so much as a button. These later were replaced by membership cards.
The editor talked to children and parents. He taught the kids a set of rules. Don't, he told them, play in the street nor cross it without looking both ways—then walk, don't run. Don't play, with fire. A stranger. Don't play with fire. Never take a ride with a stranger. Never be disloyal nor disobedient to your mom and dad. Simple rules like that—illustrated in lectures by slides and later by movies.
Nobody can estimate the number of lives and broken little bodies. Joe Helfert has saved in his labor of love.
Idea Spreads
The idea, which started in Beaver Dam, a city of 12,888, has spread around the country until today something like a 1,000,000 children are members—for free—of "Open Eye" clubs.
The American Legion, of which "Uncle Joe" is a member, and the American Automobile Association are behind the idea that was born of near-tragedy over 25 years ago.
The outside work has carried Helfert around the country, talking to various groups. He's a recruiter who loves children. He always carries a satchelful of membership cards wherever he goes.
WASHINGTON (UP)—The trouble with the taxicab business is that, in some places, there are too many haccys with too many poor drivers behind the wheel.
Some of this came out at the American Taxicab Association convention.
In Washington, it was pointed out, there is a cab for every 84 persons. The national average for large cities is one hack for every 1340 persons.
According to Bill Kramer, a writer for the American Taxicab Association News, fleet owners have their troubles.
"Look at it this way," he told me. "Why should a man push a car around the streets 72 hours a week for $62, with no overtime pay, when he can work in a factory and take home $75 a week, plus whatever overtime be works?"
The fleet owner has cars inh is barn gathering dust, and costing him money. Kramer says. A driver comes along, and as our expert puts it, "the fleet owner in desperation puts the man in a cab and into the stream of traffic, untrained."
"The fleet owner is taking a risk," Kramer said. "Inside of a week with an untrained driver he could run into a $100,000 accident. We think that the drivers should take a thorough examination before they are turned loose to risk the life and limb of the public."
There should, he said, be given a thorough examination not only to determine his physical fitness but also to determine whether he knows his town and is otherwise suited to dealing with the public.
Then there's the matter of having a mechanically-safe car.
Not long ago, I got into a hack in front of the National Press building and asked to be taken to the capitol. We had gone a couple of blocks when we came to a red light. The driver had to use his hand brake.
"Foot brakes just went out," he said.
Record Reviews
Popular Records
NEW YORK (P)—If you are under 25, the name of Glenn Miller probably means little or nothing to you.
But to those now pushing 30, Glenn Miller's name is a synonym for exquisite dance music. That's because such persons were in their teens when Miller made his music.
Miller and his band joined the Army and went to Britain early in World War II. On Christmas Eve, 1944, the Army reported Major Glenn Miller was missing in action on a flight to Paris.
But Miller's music did not die with him. He had made many records in the late 1930s and early 1940s. And he and his band appeared almost weekly before radio microphones.
Now, nine years after Miller's death, RCA-Victor has issued a massive album of his music, with most of the numbers "air-checked" from the broadcasts.
The album consists of five long-playing 12-inch records which contain 68 numbers, many of which never had been recorded commercially.
From the opening number, "Moonlight Serenade," Miller displays the simplicity of style that appealed to the young and old — to those who could not dance too well and to ballroom experts.
Could Go All-Out
In "Moonlight Serenade," and atomic bombs he stumbled over in the street, but like many press association men in the business during World War II, he had considerable experience with the secrecy surrounding it.
Before Hiroshima
Long before the first bomb exploded over Hiroshima the United Press began getting warnings from military censorship in Washington against any mention of the atom.
Now and then the telephone would ring and a hush-hush voice on the other end would say: "Just a reminder... no mention of that thing."
They didn't even want to mention it by name over the telephone. It was a well kept secret, from everyone except the Russians.
The Russians knew the United States was making an atom bomb.

ach and whispering. "That's a good WASHINGTON — So long as beefsteaks of indifferent tenderness cost $1.20 per pound, I doubt if the Government's press agency campaign to talk us into eating more meat will have much effect.
I hate to say this to embattled cattlemen now doffing their broad-brimmed hats in our marble halls, but I'm sticking to vegetable plates with an occasional egg on top. What brought up this depressing thought was a wait I had at the Agriculture Department for the caravan of Western cowmen bringing their troubles to Secretary Ezra T. Benson.
In the lobby was a big sign in round-steak red: "Beef is a good buy." In the fine print beneath was an assortment of recipes for such delicacies as Swiss steak on rice, hamburger on toast, and beef steak pie.
Eventually arrived a dozen big blue buses with 350 cattle growers to demand that Benson fix 'em up with price supports. About the only consolation they got, I fear, was that advertisement urging folks to eat more meat.
The beef producers trooped into the departmental auditorium, blinked at the TV lights and took a good long look at Benson, who'd attempted vainly to detour their march on Washington. Their beef (if you don't mind a pale pun) was based on the fact that hamburger on the hoof now sells for less than half what it did a year ago.
Like me, they could not understand why it still is in the caviar class at the butcher's. They said, one after another, that the bargain steers they were forced to sell was driving them into bankruptcy. In an assortment of drawings, ranging from Texas to Western, they insisted that their only salvation was Federal price support.
Came then Secretary Benson, who seemed surprised when he was greeted with cheers. I think, myself, he'd been expecting some boos. So he said that his mind was open on the subject of the Government holding up the price of beef. The applause shook dust from the chandeliers.
Benson then went on sarcastically to tell the reasons why price supports for perishables, like beef, are a bum idea. He said remember when we plowed under little pigs to hold up the price of pork, how we dyed potatoes blue to keep potatoes expensive, and how we bought trainloads of eggs to maintain the price of hen fruit. These efforts were expensive and miserable failures.
The cattlemen sat on their hands, but Benson kept on talking. He said he had his investigators out now, trying to discover why cows were so cheap and steaks so expensive. He said he believed the price of cattle now was about stabilized and he saw no reason why cattle feeders couldn't make reasonable profits.
The principal spokesman of the cattle growers seemed to be Denny Driscoll, solid-looking citizen with a graying pompadour, from Colorado Springs, Colo. He said he personally had lost $100,000 of his own money last year selling cows below cost and that he had enough cash left to last couple more years. Many of his cohorts, he continued, were more emaciated than their cows.
He thanked Secretary Benson for his kind words and offers of cooperation, but he roared:
"Mr. Secretary, if what you have said is all the outlook we have, God help the cattle industry."
The cowmen cheered and stamped. Secretary Benson got out of there and I went to lunch. Had a piece of fish. It wasn't especially good, being a little too drippy for my taste, but it didn't cost $1.20 per pound, either.

At the Hollywood premiere of "Mogambo," Janet Leigh and her husband Tony Curtis were leaving the theater after the showing when a camera fan asked Janet to pose for a quick pic. Janet consented and was standing only a few feet from the amateur photographed by his bulb exploded, showering fragments of glass into her face. Janet reassured the fan and offered to pose for another picture, but he was too nervous to snap the shutter.

Having had its fingers badly singed once, the United States still is in no mood to share its secrets again, even with an ally as close as Britain.
However, there is something in it the British argument.
One is that eventually the United States independent policy on atomic research must reach the point of diminishing returns.
The fact that an atom bomb will explode is no longer a military secret.
As the race for atomic supremacy continues, it becomes three-sided, with the United States and Britain competing among themselves just as much as against Russia and with a consequent expensive duplication of effort.
In the majority of other Miller hits, the saxes and clarinets state the theme softly with muted trumpets chiming in from the background.
Yet Miller's men could raise a rumpus, too. Bill Finigan's arrangement of Down for the Count" is a perfect union of reeds and brass in the number "Oh. So Good!"
Some of the highlights:
"Wonderful One" — Starts with dreamy saxes, followed by low trumpet.
"Introduction to a Waltz" — A fast and jumpy beginning, a rousing drum break, and finally a walts tempo.
"Rainbow Rhapsody" — Undoubtedly by Billy May, because he played in the sax section and this tune is typical of Billy's fine numbers of 1952 and 1953.
"American Patrol" — A Miller classic with a terrific orum break by Maurice Purill.
"Sun Valley Jump" — A trumpet break heralds the forthcoming birth of bop.
"String of Pearls" — Famous Miller trademark, saxes as soothing as pearls themselves, eminently danceable.

United Press Staff Correspondent — NEW YORK UP — Family pride often is to blame for a child growing up into a criminal, says one juvenile delinquency authority.
The beginnings of the criminal path often can be detected in a child before he even reaches high school, says Will T. Turnbladh, director of the privately supported National Probation and Parole Asociation, and former chief probation officer of Los Angeles County.
Parents Often At Fault
"Parents often have too much pride to admit their child is troubled, and in need of help from such professional as psychologists and juvenile court judges," Turnbladh said.
"Yet, treating delinquency is like treating a disease," he added. "You have to get at it at the onset. Otherwise is spreads and often is fatal."
Too often a parent will kiss off a problem with the comment, 'oh, he'll outgrow it.' Unfortunately, he sometimes doesn't."
John Dillinger didn't," the probation officials continued. "A look at Dillinger's record shows his revenge against society stemmed from a minor run-in with authority in his teens."
Each Caeo Different
Trumbadh has no fast rules for spotting beginnings of delinquency. Each child, he explains, is an indivual case. His one warning to "When a child is violently unhappy in what most of us would consider a normal home and community atmosphere, he may be headed for trouble. It is a danger sign when a child cannot adjust to authority, either at home or at the school."
"I would consult professional help," he continued. "If my child once aggressive and extroverted suddenly turned into a quelt and withdrawn youngster. Or, I would worry if a quiet child suddenly became a bully."
Turnbladh says there is no widespread increase in juvenile delinquency, but there is a slight growth in cases involving older children.
