Shopping in Warsaw On occasion do you still feel aggrieved at the prices you must pay for foods and other commodities in our American retail stores? If so, it would pay you to take a trip, in your imagination, to Warsaw and do some shopping under the communist system. In Warsaw, as everywhere behind the Iron Curtain, the stores are run by the government, and so are non-competitive in any true sense of the word. According to the "Business Around the World" column of U.S. News & World Report, beef costs from $3 to $5 a pound in terms of U.S. money. Horse meat is $1.50 a pound and coffee $50. That last figure is particularly interesting in the light of the fact that there was a national uproar when the national drink passed $1 a day today, you enjoy all the beautiful things of life. You have a culture intellect and definite creative talent which should be put to good use. The arts and the profession will offer you the happiest care—and, incidentally the most munerative.

According to the "Business Around the World" column of U.S. News & World Report, beef costs from $3 to $5 a pound in terms of U.S. money. Horse meat is $1.50 a pound and coffee $50. That last figure is particularly interesting in the light of the fact that there was a national uproar when the national drink passed $1 a pound here. In the manufactured goods field, the situation is equally startling. Men's shoes are priced at $231.25 a pair, a girl's sweater at $187 and bathing trunks retail at $85. One wonders what, if anything the Polish swimmers wear. In any event, this is a pretty typical example of what inevitably happens when competitive free enterprise is outlawed and the state takes over. How can any American think totalitarianism is the way to the more abundant life? The Deadliest Killer Every American was horrified at the ghastly death toll of the Korean War. Yet last year alone accidental deaths accounted for three times as many victims as that war. Some 95,000 people died unnecessarily—traffic accidents being the Number 1 killer with 38,000—and 9,600,000 were injured. The economic cost to the nation is estimated at more than $9,000,000,000. The president of the National Safety Council made a memorable commentary: "We do not believe that any civilized nation can long endure this tragic and disgraceful waste of manpower and resources from accidents that are avoidable." Kiss Anybody — If You Dare! Before the massed dignity of the Southern California Dental Association, in convention assembled, Dr. Samuel C. Miller of New York University last week proclaimed: "You can kiss anybody you want to without getting trench mouth—I guarantee it. It's just not contagious, person-to-person. Among its causes are emotional tension." Figure the other way round, the doctor might have added, a kiss itself can cause emotional tension leading WEDNESDAY, MAY 19 — BOTH TODAY, you enjoy all the beautiful things of life. You have a culture intellect and definite creative talent which should be put to good use. The arts and the profession will offer you the happiest career—and, incidentally the most munerative. Original and inventive you will be a leader in ideas well as action. You have a great deal of nervous energy and fear that you must be actively doing something all the time. Your emotions are near the surface and you must learn self-control in this regard or there be considerable unhappiness in store. You are temperamental — is quite usual in the case of my creative artists — but don't overplay this side of your personal life. You women have a great day of charm, naturally graceful dancers, and have a great deal personal magnetism. You would probably do well on the stage screen and radio or television.

Visual deceptions—distorting the appearance of a buck-tooth Susie Glotz into the image of Helen of Troy or Marilyn of Hollywood. Abandonment of individual liberty and embracement of marriage—with kiddies, school bills, shoe bills, mothers-in-law, visiting in-laws etc. All of those, and more maybe. But not trench mouth!

S. eats, kisses, drinks, rolls on, sleeps on, is wrapped in and stays healthy on menhaden oil but as a 58-year-old Negro fisherman named Bix says, "It don't know it." In Gulf Stream enerth (Doubleday) Earl Conrad tells the story of the menhadeners, the acres of the sea" for the fan-hardy Negro fishermen who "plow tastic hordes of the herring-like menhaden whose oil and meal serve more than 200 U. S. industries. The menhaden fishery doomed the whalers more than 50 years ago and is today primary source of special oils. Conrad tells the tale of the fish and men with superb dramatic power and a poetry and rhythm that makes his work distinctive. His narrative is in the rhythmic dialect of southern Negroes, unmarred by the crudities of phoetic spelling. Bix and his crew aboard an 85-year-old ship are having dismal luck. First there are no fish, then too many—so many that hundreds of thousands of them diving as a single mass can rip to shreds a $5,000 net, pull a man underwater or capsize a small cutter. Bix and his fellow "sharecroppers of the sea" in their aged ship make a first-rate story. We Chose to Stay, by Lali Horatmann (Houghton Mifflin): Lali Horstmann was the wife of a German diplomat who worked in the press section in Berlin but who gave up his position because he opposed Hitler. Both of the Horstmanns were wealthy with an estate at Kerzendorf in what later was to become the Russian Occupied Zone.

The Los Angeles City Hall is the most photogenic building in the world, thinks Jack Webb, directory and star of the "Dragnet" movie. Both of the Horstmanns were wealthy with an estate at Kerzendorf in what later was to become the Russian Occupied Zone. It is the story of the couple who chose to stay when the Russian and Allied armies were approach-the war and the suffering they unlearlin in the closing days of derwent at the hands of the Red army. Curiously, the account does not arouse the sympathy one would expect. There are stories of wholesale rape, looting, and arson; days and nights of terror. But the story of the Russian as conqueror is not a powerful one. It may be because the Horstmanns appear to feel the loss of a priceless Meissen vase for instance, more deeply than they do the terrible degradation around them. The sense of tragedy is again missing when Horstmann is kidnapped and dies. This reader had the feeling he was reading of events far away which left him unmoved. The Secret Stair, by Phyllis Bottome (Harcourt, Brace) tells the story of a saint in a sanatorium, a priest who despite his own desperate illness is called on to heal the healers. Tuberculosis had made such inroads on Father Michael Bretherton's physical being by the time he reached the Alpine hospital that it was unsafe for him to move or even to speak at any length, but he soon felt obliged to place his spiritual serenity at the service of those around him. Dr. John McTaggart, head of the sanatorium, and his estranged wife Elizabeth both needed the help of the Anglican missionary. Father Michael also was successful in a way in dealing with the problems of Caroline Draycott, the venomous little neurotic in the next room who caused so many of the others' trouble. Dr. Konrad Rainer and Dr. Marie Celeste Delarabrie had difficulties of their own, but they did not turn to Father Michael for help. Miss Bottome combines the literary skill that distinguished her earlier novels, Private Worlds and The Mortal Storm, with a warm feeling of spiritual sympathy to make The Secret Stair a touching and engrossing story. The Tunnel of Love, by Peter DeVries (Little, Brown) is a wryly comic tale of the taming of a screwball—Augie Poole, a cartoonist. "So you find new singer's scream, tear their hair out buckets of phony tears, burp and even gargle just different. What comes out be different but it general music." "Like I said, they but a more than a song. They 'Mule Train' with its whim 'Choo Choo Train' with its ging. They'll buy a record or one guy sounds like a choir. they'd even stampede therets to buy a disc made crooning goldfish. But they quickly, too. Lots of good make one or two hit records then turn into cases for the ing Persons Bureau." To prove his point about marketability of unique Danny cited Kay Starr, RoConey—with whom he is in "White Christmas"—Fisher and Patti Page styles and voices are their marks. "To stay on top you need than a unique style, though warned." I suppose mostantly you need the knacking right tunes to recount gotta be able to spot a hit and get it out ahead field. It's a tough racket. At nightfall on Christmas George Washington's army was huddled, cold and able on the Pennsylvania in the Delaware. The Americanution was as near defeat ever came. By 10 a.m. day Continental troops had run Trenton victorious in their planned attack Washington dared attempt and throughout the infant United States was leaping upward from gerous low. Recent historians have been clined to slight the victory though Lord Cornwallis concludes it is the source of Washoe "brightest laurels" and his temporaryaries were inclined his visions. In Lights Across to aware, (Lippincott) David undertakes to restore the bight Trenton to place of honor. Taylor has done a master historical works, and his full of factual incidents as characters. He gives equal tance, however, to fictional actors: Phoebe Runnels, a patriotic farm girl; and Smith, the Quaker sweetheart exasperated her by his relight for fight for his country's life.

Aunt Charlotte wanted to know of the three unwed Sylvester brothers. She herself was the wife of the eldest, and she felt it her duty to find for the others helpmeets fit to cook and keep house, attend to the poultry and have the children for the hulking Sylvesters on the Devon farm that had been their family's for generations. Only Stephen, the youngest, escaped Charlotte's guidance. He picked up a spindly little milliner in Plymouth and brought her home as his bride-to-be. Fanny Davis her name was; she is the title character of Margery not turn to Father Michael for help. Miss Bottome combines the literary skill that distinguished her earlier novels, Private Worlds and The Mortal Storm, with a warm feeling of spiritual sympathy to make The Secret Stair a touching and engrossing story. The Tunnel of Love, by Peter DeVries (Little, Brown) is a wryly comic tale of the taming of a screwball—Augie Poole, a cartoonist who couldn't draw but who felt obligated nevertheless to observe the promiscuous conventions of the artistic vie de Boheme. In recounting the details of the unlikely adoption that transformed Poole into a model breadwinner, DeVries contrives to make a good many amiable and some uproariously funny comments about the absurdities of life in Connecticut's "Subbourbon Heights." His dialogue is salted with plays on words so outrageous that the reader might feel himself entitled to punitive damages if they were not so amusing. The book is gaily improbable enough to qualify as an early starter in the 'light summer reading' stakes, but DeVries has realized his principal characters with sufficient depth perhaps to give many a reader the uncomfortable feeling that he is seeing himself in a 3-D mirror. But Panny dissembled and guessed the decimals and gems her mind spun, as clined palely on a coach, had brought the household to disaster.

Jones United Press Staff Correspondent Hollywood — (UP) "Today you have to have a sound," said Danny He was recording a song called Chacun a Son Gout" for his new movie, "Knock On Wood." "You can have the greatest rynx in the world—but if you don't have a sound you're sunk." Kaye, who most certainly has a sound all his own, meant that to survive in this day of fickle public estates a popular song stylist needs readily identifiable voice or technique. Something, for instance, at a radio listener can recognise within a split second as he twirls the dial of his automobile receiver. "Take Perry Como, Frankie Maine, Billy Eckstine," offered Kaye. "You know 'em as soon as you hear em.. Their personality stands out on wax. Now there are hundreds of other great singers around—some far better even than the stars—but they get nowhere because they sound too much like someone else or too much like everyone else. Kaye feels perhaps this is a bad development. It puts singularity head of quality and finds every sung singer today trying to develop a style strictly his own. He reach pretty far to accomplish this. Tough Racket "They think they must shook the listener to attention," said Danny. So you find new singers whoream, tear their hair out, weep tickets of phony tears, stutter, grip and even gargle just to sound different. What comes out may be different but it generally isn't music. "Like I said, they but a sound more than a song. They like a fule Train' with its whip or a choo Choo Train' with its chugging. They'll buy a record on which the guy sounds like a choir. I think even stampeed the coun- GENEVA, May 19—When 175 persons sit down together here in what is known as a "plenary session" of the Geneva conference, there isn't any chance for negotiation. And when the "restricted session" of 45 persons gets together, it isn't much more conducive to heart-to-heart talks or conciliatory processes. It's long-winded speechmaking just the same. The futility of all these methods is recognized here, but nevertheless the window dressing is important because behind the scenes, the five men who lead the delegations from the United States, Soviet Russia, Great Britain, France and Red China, respectively, can get together if they wish and make agreements or decide to disagree. Up to now, a number of private meetings and informal discussions have been held, but they all add up to the fact that the Communists do not feel they have to give any ground whatsoever. As the Communists see it, they have an influential bloc in the French parliament and they have the advantage of a close division in the British parliament. Now, in addition, they have some new encouragement from within the United States because spokesmen for the Democratic party have just launched a general attack on the Eisenhower-Dulles policies. The inside story here is that the terms the Soviets offer have been getting tougher and tougher. Every time there is a speech disparaging the southeast Asia Pact or some utterance, either in America or in Europe, from the Allied side saying there will be no military help given the French in Indo-China, the Communists get more and more arrogant. Here the game is plain to see. It doesn't look at all like it does to American eyes, judging from a reading of American newspapers. Thus, the speech by Averell Harriman former ambassador front in Indo-China without first consulting Great Britain—which, of course, is not true—merely serves to muddy the water here. Although several Democratic speakers are engaged in a campaign to discredit their own government in the eyes of the Allies, the Allied governments know politics and really understand such things. The Communists, however, interpret it as a sign of weakness and as an indication that the American government will not be able to back up its assertions because of political opposition. Actually, America's role in the world today is so difficult and so delicate that one wonder why the Democrats, who know what they themselves were up against with the Allied problems of the last several years, should now think the whole thing can be simplified. What goes on behind the scenes today is a discouraging affair for American officials because the Allied governments outwardly protest against such things as hasty action on a southeast Asia past or military intervention when, in truth, there is privately every desire to see more speeches delivered like those of Senator Knowland, Republican leader, discussing American military aid in Indo-China. Firmness nowadays by our diplomats is interpreted widely as belligerency by various elements unfriendly to America. Yet appeasement—so often advocated in Europe—can vring the very belligerency that everybody dreads. But, despite the discouragements this conference cannot be written off as a failure. For if face-to-face negotiation in a conference like this, with its opportunities for the principals to get together privately, ends without result, the chances of the Communists ever getting the west into more conferences—their chief vehicles for propaganda—become dim. It is a Othman's Views on Washington Scenes By FREDERICK C. OTHMAN WASHINGTON—If this dispatch sounds topsy turvy, that is the idea; the situation itself was dizzy; all these years we've had this committee of senators investigating Communists. Suddenly, in the McCarthy-Army hearings, we had some of the investigators investigating the chief investigator. The senators, all but Sen. Joe McCarthy, himself, were sitting as judges. And then, when I least expected it, three of the judges had themselves sworn in as witnesses to tell the truth and nothing but. Next Sen. McCarthy was cross-examineing them. "This is a very unusual experience to be able to cross-examine the chair," said Sen. Joe, grinning. "The whole business is unusual," snapped Sen. Karl A. Mundt (R., S.D.), who'd taken time out from being top judge to turn witness and who then had apologized to the great, unseen audience for not wearing his television shirt. If he'd only known he'd have worn blue, instead of white. The confusing part seemed to be based on the fact that Sen. McCarthy had wanted to subpoena members of the Army's Loyalty Board in connection not only with charges of Communist coddling, but of alleged graft. The Army didn't want these gentlemen to testify. So Army Counsel John Adams called last January on Sen. Mundt and Everett M. Dirksen (R., Ill.) to ask them to use their influence to get the subpoenas dropped. Sen. Charles Potter (R., Mich.) got the same suggestion during what he called a social evening with Adams' assistant. What pained the three senators, as they had themselves sworn in, been getting tougher and tougher. Every time there is a speech disparaging the southeast Asia Pact or some utterance, either in America or in Europe, from the Allied side saying there will be no military help given the French in Indo-China, the Communists get more and more arrogant. Here the game is plain to see. It doesn't look at all like it does to American eyes, judging from a reading of American newspapers. Thus, the speech by Averell Harriman, former ambassador to London under the Truman-Acheson regime, accusing Secretary Dulles of trying to effect a united effort to keep Pvt. G. David Schine, his pal, out of the Army. Sen. Dirksen said Adams hinted that if the subpoenas weren't dropped, the Army would publish its charges against Cohn. The other two senators said they got the same general idea, but not in so many words. They were shocked, perturbed, and unhappy. They met with Sen. Joe, where they announced that if the charges against young Cohn were true, he ought to be fired. Sen. Dirksen suggested at the time that Adams probably deserved the ax, too. Sen. McCarthy said his young man, Cohn, had done nothing wrong. He read the other senators a letter he'd written the Army, telling it to treat Private Schine like any other G.I. He said the charges of the military amounted to blackmail to get him to drop his inquiry into the Army's Loyalty Board. You confused, too? That's only the beginning. Witnesses Mundt and Dirksen then went through a small ceremony, which they called having themselves unsworn. Now they were judges Mundt and Dirksen. That left witness Potter still under oath. Only he hadn't said anything yet. And Sen. Stuart Symington D., Mo.) said he was hungry. Sen. Mundt (by now the chairman again) recessed the proceedings for lunch. But I'm still under oath," insisted witness Potter. The chairman said he shouldn't let that ruin his meal. Later Sen. Potter returned to tell of his experience during the social evening and he, too, was de-oathed. This also returned him to his judgements. And we'd better stop here and be glad that American courts of law don't operate like Senatorial inquiries. Otherwise, judges would be... In Lights Across the Delaware, (Lippincott) David Taylor undertakes to restore the battle of Penton to place of honor. Taylor has done a masterful job historical works, and his novel is full of factual incidents and real characters. He gives equal importance, however, to fictional characters: Phoebe Runnels, a fiercely patriotic farm girl; and Wheeler Smith, the Quaker sweetheart who desperated her by his reluctance to fight for his country's freedom. Taylor has done a masterful job combining fact, reasonable surprise and fast-moving fiction, into a absorbing book from start to finish. So Army Counsel John Adams called last January on Sen. Mundt and Everett R. Dirksen (R., Ill.) to ask them to use their influence to get the subpoenas dropped. Sen. Charles Potter (R., Mich.) got the same suggestion during what he called a social evening with Adams' assistant. What pained the three senators, as they had themselves sworn in, was the fact that Adams and Co. mentioned in the same breath with the subpoena that they had some charges against committee counsel Roy Cohn. These involved hiself. But Panny dissembled and none stressed the deceits and strategies her mind spun, as she renamed palely on a coach, until she brought the household close to disaster. Miss Sharp has made a memorable character in this entertaining novel.
