Editorial Page 10—Anahiem (Cal.) Bulletin Thursday, July 7, 1955 California -- Host to the World California has just served with distinction as host to the United Nations delegates from all over the world. Now it is starting its preparations for the entertainment of another great international gathering, the 1960 Winter Olympic games, which will be held in Placer County's beautiful Squaw Valley. Like the United Nations session and the 1956 Republican National Convention, the Olympic spectacle was won for California by a combination of foresight, determination, cooperation, and good, hard work — qualities that over the years have made California what it is. As Governor Goodwin J. Knight said of this newest honor for California, the State's success in obtaining the winter games over determined competition is "a monument to the wholehearted cooperation of the legislature, the management of Squaw Valley, and numerous civic organizations throughout the State". It is a tribute also, of course, to this State's incomparable natural attractions. Envoy Pearl Mesta may have been the "hostess with the mostess", but California certainly is the host with the most—for the most. Vacations Should Vacate We are impelled to register a vigorous dissent to a recent national magazine article which attempted to seduce its readers into taking purposeful vacations. Yes, the man said "purposeful" — like making money or hunting a new job or looking over possible schools for Johnny. Treason! Sabotage! Subversion! Vacations are for vacating—for emptying the mind of impelling duties, letting muscles relax, just a-sitting and a-rocking in soul-satisfying, lazy communion with California's eternal grandeur. Our vacation motto shall remain: Dolce far niente — "Sweet doing nothing". And far far into the night. THE DAVID LAWRENCE DISPATCH Soviet Distress on Economic Front Said to Be Real Reason for Reds' Desire for 'Summit' Talks WASHINGTON, — Slowly but surely the real reasons for the Soviet's desire for a conference "at the summit" and the motives for the superfriendly expressions by Khrushchev at the American Embassy in Moscow are beginning to emerge. They are to be found in a lengthy report to Congress just submitted by Harold Stassen as director of the Foreign Operations Administration. It tells the story of Soviet distress on the economic front. Without strong industrial power, military armament today is difficult to produce. Hence, Soviet Russia knows she will lag behind in her armament race unless she can solve her difficulties in getting raw materials and machinery from the West. Without a steady improvement in the standard of living, particularly in food distribution, Soviet Russia faces trouble interally and inside the satellite states. Soviet Russia can turn for relief only to the Western countries. Moscow is willing to make political concessions in exchange for economic concessions. What the Stassen report reveals is that the Soviet Bloc is being hurt by "transaction controls" and "transit controls." The first of these was imposed by the West to prevent evasions of export controls "by prohibiting sales of embargoed goods to the Soviet Bloc by residents of free-world countries regardless of the source of the goods." The second set of controls was designed "to prevent the diversion to the Soviet Bloc of embargoed items ostensibly bound from one free-when the free-world commodity lists were revised." The fact is the Soviet economy is loosided. It cannot provide the export articles to pay for the stuff imported. It's the same old exchange problem that other countries have faced, but it's a tougher proposition for the Soviets because of the embargoes placed by the West on trade with the Soviet Bloc, including Red China. The embargo policy is beginning to pay off. It is pinching the Soviets. This is important news to the Free World, especially those on the pacifist side who continually argue that the only alternative to appeasement is preventive war. They do not realize that a third course is in actual operation today to prevent the outbreak of war. It is the inflexible decision of the Allies to keep strategic materials and machinery from getting into the hands of the Soviet Bloc. If Soviet Russia had a free government—and only free governments can be trusted today—there would be no question about allowing trade of all kinds to be carried on with the peoples of the Soviet Bloc. The trade weapon has become almost as important a deterrent of war as military armament. To Russia's weakness in the manufacture of capital goods must be added the salient facts now emerging about the agricultural difficulties of the Soviet and her satellites. The need to import grain is a glaring example of the breakdown of the Soviet agricultural economy.

LEO (July 24-Aug. 23) — Yo- weals is that the Soviet Bloc is being hurt by "transaction controls" and "transit controls." The first of these was imposed by the West to prevent evasions of export controls "by prohibiting sales of embargoed goods to the Soviet Bloc by residents of free-world countries regardless of the source of the goods." The second set of controls was designed "to prevent the diversion to the Soviet Bloc of embargoed items ostensibly bound from one free-world country to another." The Foreign Operations Administration says: "With these cooperative measures, the free-world governments are now in a better position to combat illicit trade than they were six months previously." Despite, therefore, some loosening up and broadening of definitions of strategic items which was criticized last year, the net result, in the opinion of the Foreign Operations Administration, has been to put a crimp in Soviet efforts to get heavy goods and materials. "As of this writing," says the report, "no spectacular expansion of East-West trade has taken place since August 1954" Vic Vet says WA PENSIONERS SHOULD NOTIFY WA IMMEDIATELY WHEN THEIR INCOME EXCEEDS THE PERMITTED LIMITS—OTHERWISE ANY OVERPRYMENTS ARE SUBJECT TO COLLECTION. The Soviets will probably make some startling proposals at Geneva—for they need goods, and they will do almost anything to get machinery and materials. It's a time for wariness on the part of the Free World. For it will be recalled that Hitler was allowed to import war materials from Allied countries up to almost the beginning of World War 11, just as militaristic Japan bought her raw materials in America in preparation for her subsequent attack on the United States. Economic policy has become in modern times as significant a part of Nation defense as military weapons themselves. (Copyright, 1955, New York Herald Tribune Inc.)

HOLLYWOOD Singer Wants English Lord For Commercials BY ALINE MOSBY United Press Hollywood Writer HOLLYWOOD (A) — A pretty blonde singer came up today with an inspiration to improve American TV commercials she wants to hire an English nobleman to deliver the pitch. Vicki Benet seriously announced she will audition English lords and stars for her new filmed musical TV show when she visit s.london on a singing tour next week. "I can't stand some of the pressure methods used by American announcers on commercials," she said. "The so-called 'Hard sell' actually is an anti-sell that defeats its purpose." Blue Bloods Only "I want a true lord, a personable man who speaks well. He must come from a good family, be listed in Burke's Peerage and appear cultured. He'll act as master-of-ceremonies and do the commercials for my new show." Vicki revealed this plan to give tone to American TV as she packed her bags in her luxurious apartment. The producer of her program Jack Elliot of Benell Productions, paced after her to confirm he wants English nobleman to "give prestige to her show." He admits he was impressed by the bearded Englishman who poses for gin-and-tonic ads in the American press. "It's a different type of program, created for the discriminating, and we think he will add dignity," he said.

That sort of thing. “Well, I got on the subway downtown to come up to Radio City. I sort of kept looking out of the corners of my eyes at the other people in the car, but nothing happened. Then I got up to get off at my station, and one fellow sided up to me. This was going to be my moment, I thought. “Know what he said? ‘You were in ‘Up.Front’ weren’t you?” “I would run into a fellow who stopped going to the movies five years ago!” Happily, Hollywood is on the ball. Tom goes out there in July to star in “Camp Follower” as his 1955 contribution to a one-movie-a-year deal, after which he’ll come back for a new play on Broadway which is still a Ewell secret. Ewell is also the sort of chap who has relative trouble. He recently ended a springtime tour in “The Seven Year Itch” which took him, among other places, to Evansville, Ind., not far from the family stamping grounds in Owensboro, Ky. Cousins, aunts, uncles and boyhood friends arrived by the carload. “But Aunt Vine, who’s 82, didn’t show up,” Ewell said. “Not because of her age, however.

You may remember that about four years ago my bride brought up from South America Adon Olano to function as our houseboy. He was a wonder. At dinner he always served me first with the biggest and best piece of meat. The ladies, including Mrs. O., got what was left. After all, said he with latin logic, I'd paid for it.

Next thing he knew he was in Cabrador, wading through 15 feet of something called snow. Cold, said Adon. This worried his mother far to the south and she wrote that she wished she could take his place in our house. My bride got busy with the Air Force, the immigration service and the State Department and after a sufficient number of documents had been signed in triplicate, Lusmilla arrived in McLean about a month ago. Life has not been the same since. Hilda tried to explain to her at once the use of the widgets in our kitchen, but this was too much for Lusmilla, who'd been doing her own cooking over a charcoal stove, that evening we found her cowering in fright in a corner. LOOKING AHEAD By DR. GEORGE S. BENSON AN AMERICAN CONCEPT One of the basic concepts which shaped the formation of our American government was that individual initiative, when free to seek its opportunities, would generate a great progressive force. And it has. The progress of our nation, when compared with other nations, proves the soundness of this concept. Yet there are many citizens who do not clearly understand the basic governmental concepts which have given Americans the highest living standards in the world. This lack of understanding is not good for our country. In China and other areas of Asia I spent 10 years examining the causes of their great poverty. Nine per cent of the people were barely existing, each living for a month on what an American could buy for one dollar. Yet China has vast resources in soils and minerals and forests. What was the holdback In brief, here was the trouble: The people were afraid to venture because of the lack of adequate and equitable laws, equitably enforced. Let me illustrate. Banditry Everywhere A group of Chinese wanted to open a coal mine. They had capital. Workers were plentiful. The coal deposit was unlimited. And the market was there. The only question was, "Would it be advisable?" One of the group said: "Well, you know the group of people down the river. They have quite a few soldiers. If we got the coal mine producing they'd come and take it away from us." Another of the group said, "Yes, and the Governor is in league with that group." They had to forget the idea of opening a coal mine. Their governmental structure provided no protection. Another example: A town in the China interior installed an electric light plant. An envious group in forth. The government also took over control, ultimately, of employment and enterprise. No one could obtain work or change jobs, build a chicken house or go into business, without approval of a government bureau. Individual initiative was smothered. Still another example is Russia. She has coal, iron, petroleum, everything we have—and twice the quantity. She has two times as much land per person as does America. But in Russia the government owns all the farms, the manufacturing plants and all the distribution centers; and the people work according to a central blueprint—with no opportunity whatever to generate individual initiative. Superiority of Freedom Now the important point: The individual citizen in China has a living standard about one-twentieth as high as ours; in England, about one-third as high as ours; and in Russia, about one-fifth as high as ours. The major reason for our superiority is our system of Constitutional government which gives the utmost liberty for personal initiative, our private ownership economy which provides incentive get ahead and a competitive atmosphere which brings out the very best capabilities in all; and our foundation of spiritual disciplines—being governed primarily by an inner force of moral laws. My daughter Lois was born in China. When she was 11 we returned to America. Seeing New York for the first time she exclaimed: "I hope Heaven is as nice as this!" But she became Americanized quickly: she began to want everything she saw. Throughout high school and college it was more dresses, always more of this and that. And finally she wanted a convertible. I told her that with the Air Force, the Immigration service and the State Department and after a sufficient number of documents had been signed in triplicate, Lusmilla arrived in McLean about a month ago. Life was not been the same since. Hilda tried to explain to her at once the use of the widgets in our kitchen, but this was too much for Lusmilla, who'd been doing her own cooking over a charcoal stove. That evening we found her cowering in fright in a corner. All she'd tried to do, she said, as bake some bread. And there was our stove blinking red lights and ringing bells at her. She said obviously was about to explode. She soothed her as best we could and shut off the oven timer and when my bride wondered where was the cantaloupe. In the icebox Lusmilla said. She'd made only one slight misake; that melon was frozen solid at the freezer. Lusmilla said what was the difference. Two big boxes both icy. Mrs., O., tried to tell her that one was cold and the other only cool, but I don't think her Spanish was adequate. Lusmilla was not convinced. The cottage cheese was frozen today. Our newest Peruvian is trying hard to cooperate, except where the electric dishwasher is concerned. She uses it, because we insist, but is obvious to her that a box with a door on it cannot wash shoes. She puts in the dishes, but first she washes them in the sink with plenty of soap. That brings us to yesterday evening when Hilda was out somehere, not playing bridge. Lusmilla wondered what I wanted for ninner. I looked in the cool box and told her to pass a couple of hot dogs through some hot water, to a salad, and make some patties out of some leftover mashed potatoes and fry them in butter. Half an hour later the hot dogs were fine, the salad was a work art, and the house was full of smoke. Something terrible, said Lusmilla with tears in her eyes, as wrong with the butter. I asked her where she got it. She pulled from the refrigerator a half gall of processed cheese in a celloane wrapper and said she'diced it from that. Butter didn't burn like that in Peru, she said. That cheese looked like butter or a fact. Lusmilla then found a package of butter and said was it cheese Here my high-school Spanhish collapsed and it was a good thing my bride got home earlier than she'd expected. She managed know the group of people down the river. They have quite a few soldiers. If we got the coal mine producting they'd come and take it away from us." Another of the group said, "Yes, and the Governor is in league with that group." They had to forget the idea of opening a coal mine. Their govern-mental structure provided no protection. Another example: A town in the China interior installed an electric light plant. An envious group in another town, burning peanut-oil candles, overpowered the authorities and took away the electric plant. But they couldn't carry some of the heavy pieces on their shoulders, so when they put the plant together it wouldn't operate. They were consolled anyway: they still had no electric lights, but neither did the other town. Individual initiative throughout the population is not possible, for want or equitable laws, equitably enforced. I've had the opportunity twice to study conditions in England first hand. From 1945 to 1951 the Socialist-Labor Party operated the government. The government took over ownership of the major industries — the coal mines, the transportation systems, the utilities, the iron and steel industries, and so In the days of far-sailing whaling ships and seal hunters from New England's old ports, a certain captain bleak Patagonian beach became widely known as "New Haven Green." There New Haven, Connecticut sealers dried skins before taking them west to China in lucrative trade, the National Geographic Society says.
