Ambassador Lester Pearson said what should be repeated often by Western diplomats, namely, that the cry of "Asia for the Asians" which the Reds are constantly voicing really mean "Asia for the Cominform". America has proved in the Philippines that she has no desire to stand in the way of Asiatic peoples seeking their independence. Britain has demonstrated the same thing in India and Burma. France, belately, has made a similar move in Indo-China by agreeing to give the country its independence within the French Union. It is apparent, therefor, that the West is not trying to maintain colonialism in Asia as the Communists charge. But what needs to be made apparent to the people of Asia is that the Reds are endeavoring to establish a colonialism of their own over the entire continent. Meantime the conduct of the Communists at Britain has demonstrated the same thing in India and Burma. France, belatedly, has made a similar move in Indo-China by agreeing to give the country its independence within the French Union. It is apparent, therefore, that the West is not trying to maintain colonialism in Asia as the Communists charge. But what needs to be made apparent to the people of Asia is that the Reds are endeavoring to establish a colonialism of their own over the entire continent. Meantime the conduct of the Communists at Geneva is proving to be just what could be expected. And this conduct, this resistance to any fair settlement of the Indo-China problem, such as permitting free elections under impartial international supervision, should spur the Western nations into accepting the Dulles proposal for a defense alliance in Southeast Asia. Unless they stand solidly together now there will soon be little left to stand for in Asia. Good Business The gathering of more than 200 business executives at a meeting sponsored by the Stanford Research Institute, which is devoted to the social sciences, points up the increasing attention to the personal factors in business. Industry today is more than ever concerned with helping its employees get along better with the public and amongst themselves. It makes for greater harmony, fewer mistakes, better pay and better business. Management is also going in for more employee training. One railroad, for example, reported saving a quarter of a million dollars by training a group of workers to do the job better they had always been doing. When a California firm started a "service and courtesy" campaign the idea proved catching, for the signs placed on the counters displaying those words began to disappear and show up in various stores and shops. Business is not a thing apart. It's people. If there were no people there would be no business. Hence the more that is done to improve the human factors the more it will not only improve business but make life itself more worthwhile. High Registration Politically speaking, California is a crazy mixed up place. The voters are predominantly Democratic but vote predominantly in the Republican column in State contests and very often in national tests. We have two Republican senators, a Republican governor and the State Legislature has a Republican majority as has our congressional delegation. To further confuse the picture we have a report on California registrations which shows that the GOP has made a bigger gain than the Democrats since 1952, but the Demos are now doing better than their predecessors.

The voters are predominantly Democratic but vote predominantly in the Republican column in State contests and very often in national tests. We have two Republican senators, a Republican governor and the State Legislature has a Republican majority as has our congressional delegation. To further confuse the picture we have a report on California registrations which shows that the GOP has made a bigger gain than the Democrats since 1952, but the Demos are now doing better than their opponents. To put it another way, the Republican registrations in California since 1952 have climbed 158,856 and the Democrats 115,157. But since the first of the year the score is 98,493 new GOP registrations and 175,561 Democratic. (The reason for this latter figure for the Democrats exceeding their net registration increase since 1952, is explained in the fact that they lost ground during 1953.) After reading this article we're sure it will all be very clear to you. Then you can explain it to us. SONGS OF A SONNETEER BY R. LOUIS SCOTT "TRUTH IS A PRUDE . . . !" When we recall the scenes of yesterday Fond memory is prone to make them seem Fairer by far than those which come our way Along about now! Fabrics from a dream Are woven round each trifling incident Until its time-worn facets flash and gleam With glamor; we are rarely quite content To let Truth strut her beauty in the nude; Whatever she may lack—our dreams invent! We would not make vain efforts to delude Nor would we strive your sentiments to sway: Facts are but skittles and Truth is a prude— So grab the salt-cellar without delay— When we start off on tales of yesterday! Memory—14/21 IT HURTS Othman’s Views on Washington By FREDERICK C. OTHMAN WASHINGTON — Sen. Joe McCarthy had on his traveling suit—the old blue gabardine with the shiny seat and elbows—but he didn’t take a walk. His fellow senator instead shut down until next Monday their hearing into his big argument with the Army while they clarify (their word, the President’s attitude toward the proceedings). And I suppose I’m a dope, but I can’t understand what all the shooting’s about. Seems there was a conference back in January at the office of Attorney General Herb Brownell and some other administration stalwarts, where the boys agreed it was a good idea for Secretary of the Army Robert Stevens to write out the story of his troubles with the gentleman from Wisconsin. So Stevens did exactly that. Sen. McCarthy calls the document so prepared a smear on himself and his committee investigating communism. So along came this inoffensive-looking little man, John Adams, the Army counselor, to say last week that there was such a conference and to mention the people who were there. The senators, especially the Democrats and Sen. McCarthy, demanded to know who did the talking, and why, and in particular who ordered the Army to spell out its charges against Sen. Joe. That, as the dramatists say, set the stage for a melodramatic morning. The gentlemen were sitting there under the TV floodlights when in walked Adams with a letter from President Eisenhower saying this meeting of his helpers was strictly confidential and not one word about it should be made public. The President backed th’s up with a 10-page memo from his attorney general, citing precedent all the way back to the days of George Washington. The Democrats agreed that if alleged pressure on them gave favors to Pete Schine. So then Sen. McCarthy say. Maybe hed been wrong villain, he said retary Stevens hadn’t ruin his committee; Secretary had been strict instructions from on his side. And yet, said Sen. not believe that President could do anything He said the President telligent a man to write, if had really was going on. So everybody sat the figuratively biting his Nobody knew quite Sen. McCarthy got the recess—which extended confer with his chief Cohn. When he returned hadn’t decided what to do.

The other gentlemen 90 minutes about what anything, and the knock off for a week, man Karl E. Mundt tried to persuade President to reveal at least about what went on of his advisers.

THURSDAY MAY 20 -- Born today, you have a delightful sense of humor and a wit which could win you a high place in the literary world. Although you appear too light-hearted and gay to the casual observer you are actually a very serious person. You know how to plan your life and then how to follow the blue print. You intend to make something of yourself and are not to be deterred from reaching your goal. Your emotions are near the surface and this may tend to make you somewhat more temperamental than you should be. A certain degree can be forgiven. But you have a hot temper as well and when the two get started at one and the same time there are apt to be fireworks! Self-control is one of the lessons that you need to learn early in life. Fond of home life, it would be well for you to wed when quite young. The responsibilities of your own family would give you further incentive for concentrated work. Among those who were born on this date are: Honore de Balzac, author; John Stuart Mill, economist; James Stewart, actor, and Sigrid Unset, author. To find what the stars have in store for you tomorrow, select your birthday star and read the corresponding paragraph. Let your birthday star be your daily guide.

Around a Rusty God (Dial), August Walker has compressed a few months in the life of a young Chinese boy. Beng Gow was a thoughtful and kindly youngster who acquired two little goats through a strange coincidence. As the goats grew up so did Beng Gow learning through simple observations all he needed to know of life in the swarming Chinese village, where hunger was accepted as natural. Miss Walker has lived in China and taught at Lingnan University. Canton. She tells her story simply but with overtones of larger meanings, and sometimes asides, as when a Chinese woman explained to Beng Gow how it was that the head of the local university did not know some basic stage for a melodramatic morning. The gentlemen were sitting there under the TV floodlights when in walked Adams with a letter from President Eisenhower saying this meeting of his helpers was strictly confidential and not one word about it should be made public. The President backed th’s up with a 10-page memo from his attorney general, citing precedent all the way back to the days of George Washington. The Democrats agreed that if the President felt this way and stuck to it, they’d never learn all he facts about the alleged blackmail of Sen. McCarry by the Army. Or even about the senators As It Was Told To Me By HARMAN NICHOLS WASHINGTON (P)—My first introduction to the Bethesda-Chevy Chase rescue squad was on Nov. 1, 1949. There had been an explosion and fire, which didn’t amount to much at the post office department. I huffed and puffed the four blocks to the scene. When I got there the rescue squad was on the job already and it had come some 10 miles from its headquarters at Bethesda, Md. I’d no sooner returned to the office when the boss thumbed me to the airport. That was a lot more serious; 55 dead in an air crash. I thought I got out to the airport pretty fast. But the rescue squad got there ahead of me. Squad History I got looking into the history of the Bethesda-Chevy Chase rescue squad the other day, and it is a fascinating organization. The fellows who work on the crew are volunteers. They work for the love of doing something worthwhile for their fellow men. The taxpayers pay not a nickel. The volunteers are on call to get kids out of locked bathrooms, give artificial respiration to folks who might drown, and run up a ladder to rescue old folks from burning buildings or scare a kitten out of a tree. Each of the volunteers spends a night a week (or a day, if he is making a living working nights) Hollywood By ALINE MOSBY United Press Hollywood Writer scene for the sea-hot two-footed actor save the submarine squid.

Nixon as told to Stephen Marek. At Umeda, near Osaka, the chief problem was staying alive. The prisoners, mostly sailors and marines assigned to work the docks to stealing food in wholesale lots. Since food was scarce in Japan they soon found themselves running a large-scale black market with the guards the police and even the prison commandant in their power. The horrors of such notorious camps as Tanagawa are almost glossed over in this book, and the savage beatings administered by guards at Umeda are noted only as one of the routine occurrences to which the prisoners became accustomed. The idea that a super-truth drug injected into the veins would prove terrifying provides the theme for Jack Guinn's satiric fantasy, The Caperberry Bush (Little Brown). It is the story of Dr. Tibor Pojar, a federally subsidized refugee scientist with a peace complex, who developed the potion that gave its makers an overwhelming desire to confess their sins. Naturally their careers were revised drastically. Pojar ran away with the only existing sample of his babble juice when he learned that the government wanted to use it for military purposes. He couldn't resist the temptation to try it out on a random group of "guinea pigs"—a cookie, two politicians, a publisher and a gangland bookkeeper. The results were so startling that the city where he was operating was swept by panic. The situation is developed against a realistic newspaper background and provides a platform for a number of wryly effective comments on the petty nypocrisies of modern life.

Hollywood By ALINE MOSBY United Press Hollywood Writer HOLLYWOOD UP — A 65-foot long creature with 10 arms is the most terrifying movie star in town today, but close up he turned out to be full of hot air. For the movie version of the classic book by Jules Verne, "20-000 Leagues Under the Sea," producer Walt Disney built the biggest monster in celluloid history. The gorilla of "King Kong" was a foot-high miniature, but the phoney squid that tries to swallow a submarine in the Disney epic had to be full size because Kirk Douglas and James Mason battle it. Man Made Squid Special effects wizard Bob Matey, whose previous creations include werewolves and man-eating plants, made the giant squid, He stirred a brew of lamanac, lucite, piano wire, boiling oil, rubber, steel and glass cloth. Six weeks later the monster, the color of seaweed and the size of a diving bell was lowered beside a submarine floating in 12 feet of water on sound stage 12. The twoot creature has 10 tentacles. Each is 40 feet long and weighs 175 pounds and curls in a terrifying manner. The squid's eyes are yellow, bloodshot and the size of portholes. From its huge mouth darts a snapping beak. Remote-Controlled But the secret of this life-like monster is his wrigglings are made by remote control. The monster is filled with airhoses and 24 men at a control board release air pressure to direct every flip or lunge of a tentacle. Today the magic-makers shot a face. A few hours later formed rescue squad of the woman's mother. "She wasn't so stingy Don told me," and had tributor ever since." scene for the sea-hot two-foot actor save the submarine squid.

Farmer (all rights) In Washington Scenes MICK C. OTHMAN alleged pressure on the Army to give favors to Pvt. G. David Schine. So then Sen. McCarthy had his say. Maybe he had been chasing the wrong villain, he said. Maybe Secretary Stevens hadn't been out to ruin his committee; perhaps the Secretary had been following instructions from on high. And yet, said Joe, he could not believe that President Eisenhower could do anything so stupid. He said the President was too intelligent a man to issue such a letter, if he really known what was going on. So everybody sat there a while, figuratively biting his fingernails. Nobody knew quite what to do. Sen. McCarthy got a five-minute recess—which extended to 15—to confer with his chief counsel, Roy Cohn. When he returned he still hadn't decided what to do. The other senators argued about closing down the hearings overnight, but finally decided to take a long lunch hour to decide whether there was any reason left for prolonging the hearings. Sen. Joe shed his coat and leaped into a taxi with most of the members of his staff. The other gentlemen argued for 90 minutes about what to do, if anything, and then decided to knock off for a week, while Chairman Karl E. Mundt (R., S.D.) tried to persuade President Eisenhower to reveal at least something about what went on at that meeting of his advisers. What I can't quite fantom, myself, is why anybody believed this private meeting of officialdom on what to do about Private Schine and related matters should be publicized. Forcing the confeees to talk, it seems to me, almost would be like making a wife testify against her husband. Or how can advisers advise, if they can't get together quietly to make up their unemployment figure for pre-war 1939 of 92 million people which represented 7.2 per cent of the total population of 130,900,000 people. During the seventeen months in which I have served as Representative of the 28th Congressional District, I have received over 6,000 pieces of correspondence from constituents. These have all received answers, mostly within 24 hours of their receipt. In addition I have received over 14,000 pieces of mail from outside of the district, a great deal of which required answers and some of which required legislative action. I have had to handle over 400 cases which involved contacts with various Governmental agencies. These included over 80 cases concerned with military, 48 veteran problems, 33 military academy requests and 28 Civil Service problems. Many of these cases required an extensive investigation and I am happy that I was able to obtain satisfactory results in a large percentage. I have introduced 32 bills, some of which have been signed into law by the President Several have Is Told To Me MAN NICHOLS on the job. They range in age from 18 to 36 and are husky. And how does the squad keep going with modern equipment like lifeboats, fire-fighting gear, and rubber boats uniforms and a big white truck? Only through public subscription, with nobody getting a salary. Follow the Rules When a man volunteers for the squash he has to go through a period of training on life-saving. And when he is accepted, he must follow the rules. If he fails to show up for duty, he must appear before a trial board, and may be suspended. The founder of the squad is Chief Donald W. Dunnington. In 1938, he went from door to door to gather funds from his friends and neighbors to finance the operation of his tired old ambulance, which he was operating himself. Friends kicked in. So did neighbors. They have been kicking in ever since. Dunnington likes to tell about one of his bell-ringing deals. He went to see a woman and asked her would she please give a little for a nice cause? She slammed the door in Don's face. A few hours later the newly formed rescue squad saved the life of the woman's mother. "She wasn't so stingy after that" Don told me, "and has been a contributor ever since." scene for the sea-horse opera of the two-foot actors trying to save the submarine from the squid. Douglas and Mason were out playing golf. A half million farmers will benefit from the allowance for soil conservation expense. Partial relief from double taxation of dividends will benefit six and a half million people, the majority of whom are in the low income bracket. Nine and a half million individuals and 600,000 corporations will benefit from the more flexible provisions for depreciation. Simply increasing the exemptions as some legislators are attempting to do would excuse millions of Americans from paying any Federal income taxes at all. This would shift a share of the National Defense burden from these individuals to their fellow citizens and most important it would take away from them a direct concern with Government spending. As soon as further reductions in Government expenditures are in sight this Administration is determined to make further reductions in taxes. Again this will not be done by eliminating all taxes from a few, but rather by helping all by a further reduction in rate. PROSPERITY: Even many of those who were the most vociferous in their depression mongering are now beginning to admit that no depression is in sight. During the month of April, according to official figures revealed by Secretary Sinclair Weeks and Secretary of Labor James Mitchell, there were 260000 more Americans back at work than during March. At the same time it was reported that total employment in the United States is now just short of 61 million which is an increase of almost a half million during the month. The difference between the drop of unemployed by 260,000 and the half million increase in employment is explained by the fact that additional people, college and high school students largely, have entered the labor market and have found work. According to the Associated Press, Thomas C. Carroll, Detroit President of the AFL Brotherhood of Maintenance of Way Employees, declared that "Our Nation's economy is as sound as it has been the last twenty-five years, maybe sounder." He continued "A smoke-screen about our economy is being spread to put the people into a state of uncertainty. As a matter of fact defense plants could be shut down and the workers absorbed in such needed projects as new roads, new housing, river and hydro-electric power developments, and park cases which involved contacts with various Governmental agencies. These included over 80 cases concerned with military, 48 veteran problems, 33 military academy requests and 28 Civil Service problems. Many of these cases required an extensive investigation and I am happy that I was able to obtain satisfactory results in a large percentageage. I have introduced 32 bills, some of which have been signed into law by the President Several have been included in other legislation which has either become law or is in the process of doing so. I took an active part in the successful fight to return the valuable tidelands to California and my bill to authorize the construction of the De Luz Dam to provide additional water for both Camp Pendleton and the Fallbrook area is close to final passage by the Senate. In the Ways and Means Committee I have been active in obtaining reduced personal income taxes and the reduction in excise taxes which will be of assistance to everyone in the nation.

The huge CinemaScope camera protected by a hood, bobbed up and down to create the effect of a heaving sea. Ten screaming stunt men atop the storm-tossed submarine writhed in the grip of the squid. Its tentacles wrapped around the bodies of the men and tossed one into the water. At noon the roaring stopped and technicians in rubber coats and boots dashed out for lunch, leaving the monster quiet. I was not paid $100 a day for this task, but I put on a bathing suit and splashed through slimy water to inspect the villain. If the air had failed in one 175-lb. tentacle, my boss would be looking for somebody else to write a column under water.
