How to Move the Mountain
The problem of how to dispose of the 360 million pounds of surplus butter which the government owns is which has stumped officials for a long time.
In a letter to the San Francisco Chronicle a reader suggests that one way of doing it is to offer an extra four-ounce cube with every pound of butter purchased.
Says he: "To attempt to slough it off on the world market will not promote good will with our poor but friendly allies. Neither will it appeal to the vast number of American people who have paid for it while eating oleomargarine in order to do so.
"Since this butter has been paid for by, and actually belongs to, the American people, I make the suggestion that it now be given to them. In order not to injure the dairymen who were the reason for the surplus, I suggest a small amount, say a four-ounce cube, be offered as a bonus with each purchase of one pound of pure butter at the regular market price.
"It is my belief that such a plan would not in any way hurt our dairy industry. In fact I feel it would be..."

"I can foresee some officials saying such a plan would be difficult and costly . . . To that I would say that continued storage and any other method of disposal will be costly."
Any other suggestions?
A Rose for Lillibet
The more we read about the life of Britain's young Queen, the less we envy her lot. The Mau Mau's were laying for the poor girl when she visited Africa. Some antagonistic Spaniards threatened to do her in if she touched foot on Gibraltar. And now—
U. S. horticulturists have perfected a new and lovely rose in her honor, calling it "Lillibet", the Royal Family's pet name for her when she was a child. The British National Rose Society has banned importation of the rose. On grounds the pet name might embarrass the Queen.
If anything embarrasses the pestered girl in this connection, it must be that British stuffiness. Pity couldn't move her over here, on some sort of honorary queenship, so she could wander in rose gardens at her will, and call any flower by any name she darn please!

"It was while I was still studying with Ellias Day, the drama coach," she explained. "That's where I got my name I used when I made some western pictures with George O'Brien."

SONGS OF A SONNETEER

"PLEA FOR GUIDANCE!"
Oh God, my God, I beg of Thee who art
The King of Names, Creator of each part
Of Heaven, Earth, and all things in between:
Help me to spread Thy Truths in school—and mart!
By the leaves of Life's tree—forever green—
By what Thy Words teach and Thy Symbols mean,
Grant me oneness with Earth and all those who Toil for full harvests where we now but glean!
Give unmistakeable directions to
Whatsoever things Thou wouldst have me do—
Or not to do: from Thine Omniscience,
Grant me guidance I can not misconstrue!
And too, help me avoid expedience—
By yielding swift; exact obedience!

In fact, he phoned me one day, months before the picture started, and told me to read the book, paying particular attention to the Lydia Rice part.
"When I talked to him later I told him he must have gotten me mixed up with somebody else. But he insisted, and I hope I proved him right."
WARNING
The David Lawrence Dispatch
By DAVID LAWRENCE
GENEVA, MAY 22—The talk now is of more war in Indo-China instead of peace. There are even hints that a general war in the world is not as far distant as most people believe.
The incrutable behavior of the communists here, which outwardly at least reveals a studied arrogance and a contempt for the process of negotiation itself, has shocked the delegates from the western powers. This conference is now in a state of deadlock on the main issues, and it looks as if only at the last minute—as the top delegates begin packing their suitcases—can anything in the way of a compromise be expected.
It looks also as if the British may have outsmarted themselves at this conference. Prime Minister Churchill's speeches have had probably the opposite effect from what he intended. When he said Britain wouldn't make any commitments on a southeast Asia pact until after Geneva, he doubtless believed that this would remove some complications and enable Britain's delegation to play, as between the East and the West, the familiar role in diplomacy known as that of the "Honest Broker." But instead this has encouraged the communists to stall and stall. For, if the British are to wait for the outcome of the Geneva Conference before taking any decisive action, the Communists figure they can use stalling tactics and wait a long time and wear out Americans and the French.
When General Walter Bedell Smith, head of the American Delegation, came here, he was asked by Foreign Minister Molotov-whom he knew in Moscow when he was American Ambassador to Soviet Russia--how long he was preparing to stay. The General relied that he would stay as long as there was a chance of agreement. But since that time it has become apparent that the Communists don't want to make any agreements on either Indo-China or Korea, so there is revealed soon. Certainly they to be noted a considerable degree of defeatism on the French. There is something a bit inside about the Franco-American tary talks. For two weeks now, don has been telling the world it doesn't believe in any military or commitments at time in respect to southeast Then, when the American French took this seriously ago got to advise the British about talks, there was a loud outburst the London Press about how had been snubbed. The American gracefully admitted that it "slip up" and assured foreign retary Eden--who had not owed to the talks themselves but failure to keep him informed he, would hereafter be kept posted.
Now, fortunately, the have announced that militar of Britain as well as France America are to take part in talks to begin at once in Winton. The moral effect of this be to recover lost ground be to recover lost ground been construing Britain's as one of weakness--that they are getting closer together To achieve this has been the effort of Secretary of State
Your Birthday Forecast
By STELLA
SUNDAY, MAY 23 — Born today, you have a tremendous store of nervous energy and unless you are careful, you will tend to wear yourself out early in life. Learn to be a little more even in your temperament and avoid both the extremes of great happiness or deep depression. Your moods can turn out to be your very worst enemy, if you do not watch out.
Although you have ideas of your own, you are rather too easily influenced through your affections.

VIRGO (Aug. 24-Sept. 23) — Be diligent and persistent in working in working toward a definite goal. That is more important than mere speed, alone.
LIBRA (Sept. 24-Oct. 23) — General information in the press may prove of personal importance to you at this time. Keep informed.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — You should be fine and fit this morning to get back to work, provided you have spent your week end wisely.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 22) — When General Walter Bedell Smith, head of the American Delegation, came here, he was asked by Foreign Minister Molotov-whom he knew in Moscow when he was American Ambassador to Soviet Russia—how long he was preparing to stay. The General relied that he would stay as long as there was a chance of agreement. But since that time it has become apparent that the Communists don't want to make any agreements on either Indo-China or Korea, so there is little use of continuing the conference except to let the world learn more and more about the Soviet responsibility for the failure to make progress here.
One thing that may go on for weeks and weeks is the exchange of views on armistice proposals for Indo-China, this looks like another Panmunjom technique of long drawn out parallels, and it may develop that a small commission of military men and diplomats of low-rank will be appointed to struggle with the problem through the summer months while the principal delegates go home. Thus the discussions would never actually be broken off.
Meanwhile, measures of a bell-cose nature are being canvassed at Paris. The French and American military talks there and in Washington are proceeding; there are rumors of military preparations in anticipation of some emergency. It is believed also that the French government's attitude is stiffening and that some bolder plans for operations in Indo-China may be
Othman's Views on Washington Society

WASHINGTON — Let us first get this straight: There are no ladies whom I admire more than those of the WCTU. In my cub reporter days around Chicago, assigned to cover white-ribbon lunch on Evanston, Ill., I even developed a taste for cranberry juice cocktails.
And also for highballs consisting mostly of celery squeezes. The ladies always were coming up with new drinks, full of salutary ingredients, and to this I attribute my present robust health.
So it is with regret that I must report the ladies of the dry movement, and the gentlemen, too, are growing no younger as they wage the good fight year after endless year. They are here now, as they have been regularly since 1941, to parainclude members who shupping the weary ones but to no avail. It develops the panished members with a resolution for

So it is with regret that I must report the ladies of the dry movement, and the gentlemen, too, are growing no younger as they wage the good fight year after endless year. They are here now, as they have been regularly since 1947, to demand that Congress outlaw all liquor advertising. And particularly to make the brewers quit teching merry jingles to toddlers via television.
Nothing ever happens in a legislative way, but my friends—and friends they have become—never give up. Their arguments I know by heart, as do the members of the House Interstate Commerce Committee. This advertising of liquor is luring youngsters to hard drink and hence, say they, it should be stopped.
The ladies, led as usual by Bishop Wilbur E. Hammaker of the Methodist Church, descended en masse upon the committee room to discover that most of the seats already were occupied by representatives of the demon rum. As many women as could crowded into the aisles, but those liquor men were no gents; not one offered a lady his seat.
This left a delegation of perhaps 50 more women in the hall; they simply could not squeeze in. The bishop in a voice as sonorous as ever told once again how those TV beer ads were insolent intruders into the American home.

The Army - McCarthy hearings will go on. The efforts of Senators Dirksen and McCarthy to hold future hearings behind closed doors or to get them sidetracked have failed.
The one thing that has bedeviled this investigation from the start is that a Senate sub-committee is sitting in judgment upon the conduct of its own chairman and its own staff. Only the pressure of the three Democratic members on the sub-committee has kept the investigation going, and has prevented the proceedings from being completely unfair to the Army and the Army's witnesses.
President Eisenhower has now put himself on the side of those who insist that all principals must be heard and cross-examined in public. He is eager to keep the hearings "on the rails". Which means that he sees through the tinned McCarthy efforts to confuse the hearings with altered photographs, fake letters, and the irrelevant issue of executive, versus legislative, responsibility.
EVER SINCE the McCarthy-Army hearings began, McCarthy has sought to sidetrack or end them. He wants to avoid a public cross-examination. Throughout his career he has let the most serious charges go unanswered rather than stand cross-examination. He did this in Wisconsin, he did it during the Senate investigation of his crooked financial deals, he'd it in dropping his libel suit against ex-Senator Benton.
Senator McCarthy himself made it impossible to get at all the important facts. He refused to disclose the name of the officer-traitor who stole confidential information from security files, to turn it over to the Wisconsin Senator for use against the Army.
He issued the order to keep the hearings from wandering off on side issues. When they resume on Monday, it will be up to Chairman Mundt and his associates to take a firm stand against the McCarthy filibuster.
FROM H.V.'s DESK:
These are days when it is good to remember this observation by the great Harvard philosopher, Alfred Notrth Whitehead:
"There are no whole truths; all truths are half - truths. It is trying to treat them as whole truths that plays the devil."
It is high time that the government be allowed to use information obtained by wiretapping in proceeding against the Communist conspirators in this country. Under proper judicial safeguards, wiretapping would be a most important weapon in checking Communist activities.
Maurice Goldbloom, in a study prepared for the anti - Communist American Jewish Committee suggests that wiretapping be permitted to Federal law enforcement agencies, under court order, after it is clearly shown that a Federal crime is probably being planned or committed.

Britain could be presuaded to adopt "Neutralist" policy in the next war. Nobody of importance on the American side believes any such thing. The speeches of Churchill in the House of Commons, however, have generated the fear in many quarters that, just as before World War I and before World War II the speculating and indeterminate nature of British foreign policy served as a basis for miscalculation by the Aggressor governments today a basis for another miscalculation is being laid.
Persons here who know Russian affairs spend a lot of time discussing Communist tactics with news supermen, and the admission is made that Moscow's bitterness and helping's open expressions of hostility toward the United States do not augure for a removal of tenen but may actually conceal moves of greater importance.
The dangers of a third World War will seem to have been increased the conference fails, for, if nothough is accomplished by face-to-face talks, there is less hope that war can be sverted in the next few years. The ways and means of avoiding a World War are so obvious but the courage to use them is so obviously lacking that the Democracies of the free world and their petty politicians will have only themselves to blame if, because of their disunity, another holocaust is launched on the innocent millions who will be the victims of it.

Being a hearing aid and he said, till it did was confuse him. He slipped this device from his left ear and thereafter he heard very well. He said he certainly would refuse to allow foreign papers in the United States, so long as they advertised the stuff with alcohol on it.
The representatives subjected him to prolonged questioning. Rep. Arthur G. Klein D., N.Y.) said automobiles frequently kill people and would he also bar motor-car advertising? Bishop Harmlayer said that was another matter. All this time the buzzing in the hill increased.
The footsore ladies within kept shuffling the weary ones without, but to no avail. It developed that the hammed members were preparing a resolution for Chairman Senator McCarthy himself made it impossible to get at all the important facts. He refused to disclose the name of the officer-traitor who stole confidential information from security files, to turn it over to the Wisconsin Senator for use against the Army.
This was a clear violation of law, both by purveyor and the receiver of the stolen goods.
Yet McCarthy did his best to trap Secretary of the Army Stevens and Committee Counsel Jenkins into reading the document, so that he could ask them questions about it and himself escape the responsibility for making it public. This is a typical example of McCarthy methods.
THE PRESIDENT'S ORDER, forbidding disclosure of what goes on at an executive meeting to determine policy, is sound. Congress has a right to know what the President decides. It does not have the right to inquire into the discussions that preceded the decisions. As the Secretary of the Army takes full responsibility for what it did in the Army - McCarthy controversy.
Senator McCarthy's insistence that he must have the right to cross examine Senator Lodge, the Attorney General, or anyone else who was present at an executive meeting is merely another attempt to side track, befuddle and delay the hearings. By suspending the hearings for a week, the Senate Committee has merely delayed their progress. Senator McCarthy must be made to testify, whether he likes it or not.
The response of my own newspaper and radio audience has shifted from 3-to-2 in favor of McCarthy two months ago, to 3-to-1 against McCarthy at the present time. I believe this to be a fair representation of what has happened the country over as a result of the televised hearings.
THAT IS WHY McCarthy wants them stopped — and that is also why they must go on, until every principal has taken his turn on the witness stand and given the millions who look in and listen in a chance to exercise their own judgment.

Hollywood

United Press Hollywood Writer
HOLLYWOOD (UP)—A modern ballet opening tonight will never land in a Las Vegas supper club or on Broadway, but for its one-night stand it's the hottest attraction in movietown.
While Judy Garland, Susan Hayward, Robert Young and other stars have been toiling before the cameras, their children have been rehearsing a show of their own.
Judy's eight-year-old, Liza Minnelli, is among many mopppets who will make their show business debuts at the Wilshire-Ebell theater.
Small Fry Musical
Liza is one of the stars of the "Buckley Bantam Brevities," the annual small fry musical put on by students of the Buckley private schools.
The ballet is the final exam for the youngsters, aged 2 to 12. They learn dancing and even French at the swanky schools where movie stars from Maureen O'Sullivan to Robert Montgomery have sent their children.
At the dress rehearsal before the show, Mrs. Isabelle Buckley, head of the schools, stood calmly while 265 excited children, mostly from society or show business families, climbed into their costumes backstage.
Treat All Allike
"I have to go to the bathroom," one three-year-old blond boy cried as he struggled into a blue leotard, or dancing tights, just like for grown-up ballet companies.
"All the children are treated alike," explained a teacher as she sewed a frightened dark-haired girl into a costume shaped like a toy top." The stars' youngsters have no bigger roles than the others."
Backstage little Liza and Kathy Young, daughter of Robert Young, practiced their ballet exercises to the clapping of dance teacher Madame Tamara Lepko. Upstarts in the balcony the twin boys of Susan Hayward and other older dancers waiting their turn on the stage were admonished to stop whistling and stamping their feet.
Brings Out Talent
"The Buckley plan means self-expression combined with self-discipline," Mrs. Buckley said. "These shows often bring out hidden talents."
The representatives subjected him to prolonged questioning. Rep. Arthur G. Klein D., N.Y.) said automobiles frequently kill people and would he also bar motor-car advertising? Bishop Hammaker said that was another matter. All this time the buzzing in the hill increased.
The footsore ladies within kept shushing the weary ones without, but to no avail. It developed that the banished members were preparing a resolution for Chairman Charles A. Wolvertom R., N.J.). He soon received it.
"I have a protest from several ladies in the hall who can't get in," he announced. "I regret that there is no other, larger room available. The statement says one lady in the hall came all the way from California for these proceedings. I wish somebody inside would be gallant enough to give her a chair."
Chairman Wolverton looked expectantly at those liquor men in the padded leather seat, and they all looked the other way. By now it was noon and the chairman pulled some wires to get the eucus room, a mighty chamber, for his next session. Everybody left except the delegates in the hall. They came in to rest their poor, tired feet."
