Editorial Page Friday, July 8, 1955 Anaheim (Cal.) Bulletin — 7 Disneyland... Friend or Foe By HOWARD LOUDON Opportunity is knocking at your door, and it is knocking hard, through the medium of a fantastic one-man development called Disneyland. It is natural to be concerned over a development so large, so fabulous, so new. No one can possibly know the repercussions that will develop when this new concept in entertainment opens. No one knows the number of people, the number of cars, the amount of buses, planes or trains that will suddenly descend on the City to fill this park to overflowing. It is impossible to tell the reactions of these thousands of people toward other entertainment and retail outlets within the area. It is also impossible to tell what type business or activities will move in as a result of the opening of Disneyland. It is possible to know one fact, if the numbers of people arrive to visit Disneyland that have been estimated, there is great opportunity for the presently established businesses to do a land-office business just off the overflow. Not just from the visitors to the park, but by catering to the thousands employed, and to the hundreds that will be employed by associated businesses as gasoline stations, motels, hotels, restaurants, gift shops and various roadside stands. There is a great possibility that hundreds of the people coming to this area to visit Disneyland will find our climate, our town and our people so pleasing they will decide to establish homes in Anaheim. All of these opportunities depend on one thing, that the presently established business becomes so attractive to the passersby that they will STOP AND SHOP. Every retailer knows that the more traffic that passes his store, the more opportunity he has of enticing a portion of this traffic into his place of business. But entice he must, through attractive store fronts, displays and merchandise, and advertising. When the gates are opened in Disneyland and all Anaheim.

Every retailer knows that the more traffic that passes his store, the more opportunity he has of enticing a portion of this traffic into his place of business. But entice he must, through attractive store fronts, displays and merchandise, and advertising. When the gates are opened in Disneyland and all of Anaheim flows through, to see and to know will disperse many fears and apprehensions. The beauty, the perfection, and the fantasy aspects of this wondrous area will win the hearts of all. There will be problems, but by study and wise decisions, these problems can be overcome to the advantage of the City of Anaheim. Any business established to bring happiness cannot develop into a detriment to the community in which it is situated. Other communities may play upon the problems of the City of Anaheim developing due to Disneyland being in Anaheim. Not too many weeks ago every city within a day's plane ride was attempting to claim it. Just remember, Disneyland is in Anaheim to stay and the people of Anaheim should take full advantage of their opportunity. DOCTOR'S NOTEBOOK By GLEN R. SHEPHERD, M.D. YOU CAN PREVENT AIRSICKNESS Probably the one main reason people hesitate to take an air trip or a sea trip is fear of motion-sickness. It's certainly no fun to become nauseated and vomit. Ever since early in World War II, when literally millions of young men had to be transported by sea and air, the military doctors, private physicians, and pharmaceutical manufacturers have been trying to find medicines that prevent motion-sickness. They've discovered several effective ones. The latest and possible best such anti-sickness medicine is Bonamine. It comes either as tablets or as chewing gum. The gum form does not need water to take, as a pill does. Bonamine, has two advantages compared to most other motion flight lasts several hours. In fact, I suspect that you don't suffer motion-sickness as much from the reassurance of having taken something effective as from the medicine action itself. Controlled studies where sugar pills and effective medicines were used, tend to deny this. But in my own experience, I notice my inner sensations more on a flight when I forgot to take the medicine then when I have taken it. Motion-sickness is more than psychological. It comes from disturbance of fluid in the canals of the organ of balance of the inner ear. Apparently people differ in their ability to respond to these fluid motions. Those who never become sea or air sick perhaps have blunter perception of fluid disturbances in their organ of balance caused by the yawing and FRIDAY, JULY — Boys the stars were smiling were born.

They've discovered several effective ones. The latest and possible best such anti-sickness medicine is Bonamine. It comes either as tablets or as chewing gum. The gum form does not need water to take, as a pill does. Bonamine, has two advantages compared to most other motion sickness preventives: Its effect lasts about 24 hours and it doesn't make you sleepy. Dramamine, another effective sickness preventive, doesn't make you very drowsy either, but it lasts only a few hours at a time. Dramamine can be bought without prescription if properly labeled. Bonamine requires a prescription, perhaps because it is a newer product. No medicine helps everyone to the same extent. Even our best medicines are not 100 percent effective. The same applies to those for preventing motion-sickness. They are highly effective, helping eight to nine in every ten people avoid motion-sickness. Actually Bonamine has been used to prevent the morning-sickness nausea of pregnancy as well as the sickness some people have during a course of X-ray treatments. Larger doses have to be taken for these purposes than when it is used to prevent motion-sickness. Usually airsickness afflicts more people as the roughness of the flight and the length of time you're bounced around increases. Most people don't become sick during just a few minutes of rough flying. It's only when this stretches out to an hour or two that motion sickness afflicts even the hardest air travelers. It's reassuring to have taken something in advance that will likely protect you against nausea and sickness even if the rough sations more on a flight when I forgot to take the medicine then when I have taken it. Motion-sickness is more than psychological. It comes from disturbance of fluid in the canals of the organ of balance of the inner ear. Apparently people differ in their ability to respond to these fluid motions. Those who never become sea or air sick perhaps have blunter perception, of fluid disturbances, in their organ of balance caused by the yawing and other motions of the ship or airplane. Modern chemicals either act to blunt nerve messages from the organ of balance or to blunt activity of the nausea center in the lower brain. (Copyright, 1955, By United Feature Syndicate, Inc.)

(HOLLYWOOD 'Slouchy, Sloppy' Stars Berated by Posture Teacher By ALINE MOSBY United Press Hollywood Writer HOLLYWOOD (UP)—Hollywood stars have been blasted for nearly everything, and today a figure expert took a look at their back views and announced: "They have terrible posture and Marilyn Monroe is the worst slouch of all." The famous wiggly, going-away look of Marilyn's has sold many a movie ticket. But posture teacher Eloise English, who was on this year's 10-best-dressed-women list, lamented that a girdle-less, slouching back view is "simply vulgar." Maybe men like those girls for one-night dates, but men don't marry that type," she said firmly. Shouldn't Wear Slacks Most of the stars in this town have terrible posture. They never should wear slacks. They have a weird model slump—and it's the worst thing for the body to walk that way." And clothes always look better over a girdle. It keeps you from having that vulgar, Marilyn Monroe appearance. Designer Jax Hanson started the national vogue for ladies' "toreador pants" four years ago when he made skin-tight slacks here. The stars buy them by the armful, but Miss English rolled her eyes in horror at the thought. The "slouch and sloppy" stars with bad postures on her list include Ann Sothern, Shelley Winters, Debra Paget and Jane Russell. After long thought, Miss English listed some stars with good posits.

Mr. Eisenhower was away on a recent Sunday and Cooper spent most of the day striding dramatically up and down West Executive Avenue while making scenes for his new movie about Billy Mitchel, the pioneer of the Air Force. Several key Secret Service agentsissing from Washington. They're Europe making advance arrangements for Mr. Eisenhower's attendance at the Big Four meeting Geneva. Not only key men from Washington have been sent abroad, but some agents from other cities who had extensive World War I and estwar experience with European law enforcement problems. Meantime, back at the White House the small staff that will accompany the President to Switzerland is nursing a collection of sore arms due to inoculations for the up. Tourists going to Europe require little more than a recent smallpox vaccination to get back into this country. But the White House conference personnel are receiving the full schedule of shots given troops going abroad. The President was interrupted in a New England speech recently by the loud mooing of a heifer he was about to receive as a gift. The crowd roared with delight be cause the previous speaker, Sen. Styjes Bridges (R-NH) seemed quite nettled when he was interrupted by the same creature and in the same bovine manner. The President joined in the laughter. "You see," he said. "I think that is fine. After all, it is New Hampshire talking." Interesting items from "The Great American Heritage," Bela Kornitzer's new book (Farrar, Straus and Cudahy) on the five Eisenhower brothers: Four of the five brothers, including the President have given up smoking; Earl of La Grange, Ill., and Charleroi, Pa., is the remaining smoker. The President's mother and Designer Jax Hanson started the national vogue for ladies' "toreador pants" four years ago when he made skin-tight slacks here. The stars buy them by the armful, but Miss English rolled her eyes in horror at the thought. The "slouch and sloppy" stars with bad postures on her list include Ann Sothern, Shelley Winters, Debra Paget and Jane Russell. After long thought, Miss English listed some stars with good posture who can wear slacks or anything: Loretta Young, Irene Dunne, Audrey Hepburn, Grace Kelly and Deborah Kerr. Figure Salons Miss English, a former lieutenant commander in the Waves, has made a fortune opening figure salons across the country. She visited here to inspect some Hollywood parties, and I noticed she sits very erect, wears a hat and gloves and limits those calorie-heavy drinks. "Diana Lynn has a lovely figure, but terrible posture," she continued. "I notice on TV she lets her stomach stick out. "The stars who have been exposed to Broadway have better posture and are better groomed. But so many here look as if they just jumped out of bed! "Why, they don't even wear hats." The figure expert thinks many women left their figures go after 30 because "of some deep-rooted mental bloc." In the Waves women would exercise the required 90 days and then quit," she said. "They never kept it up." father permitted no whiskey in their house except one small bottle for medicinal purposes. And this bottle, according to Earl, lasted at least 20 years. Arthur, the Kansas City, Mo., banker, told Kornitzer, "think I'm probably the only brother that doesn't belong to a church. That doesn't mean that I haven't got mother's religion in my soul." OTHMAN'S VIEWS Civil Defense Head Silent on Skunk Eviction WASHINGTON.--To the Hon., the President of the U.S.A., Val Peterson has sent an impressive, 268-page annual report about operations of his Civil Defense administration, but not one word did he say about evicting skunks from bomb shelters. How administrator Peterson overlooked this, I have no idea. It is an important subject because what good is a bomb shelter if a family of skunks has moved in first? So I suppose President Eisenhower, who is a part-time farmer, top, and who may be even now having skunk trouble at Gettysburg will have to consider this dispatch a supplement to the administrator's report. I now have the official wor on skunks vs. atom fall-out. The choice is what you might call desperate. What happened a couple of weeks ago while the government was moving out of town in its bomb practice was that I inspected my beaten acres at McLean, Va., in search of a safe place from the atoms. The root cellar back of my barn looked ideal, but it turned out to be inhabited by a lady skunk and her four little ones. I got out of there and appealed to administrator Peterson to send some of his Civil Defense experts back here from their Battle Creek, Mich., headquarters, prepared for emergency anti-skunk action. I must say that administrator Peterson was helpful. He was a little late, maybe, but cooperative. From John Shirley Hurst of the Public Affairs Office of the CDA THE DAVID LAWRENCE DISPATCH Although Actual Lattimore Case Has Ended It Is Sure to Be Studied Again by Probers WASHINGTON — So far as the general public is concerned, the case of Owen Lattimore, Far Eastern expert who was indicted by two Federal Grand Juries on perjury charges, ended when the Department of Justice the other day asked a federal judge to dismiss the indictments. This doesn't mean that, however, guilt or innocence has been established. For, due to the legal battle waged by the defendant against the wording of the charges themselves, the case was never tried on its merits. The controversy inside Washington, especially among lawyers, moreover hasn't ended. The case will certainly be studied by one of the congressional investigating committees to determine whether in view of the 4-to-4 decision of the U.S. Circuit Court of appeals anyone after can be successfully prosecuted on perjury charges even when they involve the allegedly deliberate dissemination of propaganda beneficial to an enemy country. If the federal judges appointed by Messrs. Roosevelt and Truman who now have reversed the entire trend of judicial interpretation of the scope of perjury charges are to remain in command, it could happen that even in wartime no such prosecutions as were effected in the 1940's against the promoters of Nazism could ever be successful again. For the truth is that present-day "liberals" who have inveighed against the nature of the indictments in the Lattimore case were in the forefront of the agitation to jail the Nazi followers in America on almost precisely the same ground a little more than a decade ago. But when alleged promoters of Communist causes now are indicted, the whole subject. For theoretically at least it could mean that hereafter a witness might mislead the committee and knowing carry on a campaign of propaganda for an enemy country and yet not be subject to any curb whatsoever by the laws of the land. Plainly new legislation may be needed and that's what the Senate Internal Security Subcommittee has a duty to study, and to make such inquiries as are necessary in pursuit of that legislative objective. Recently there has been a hue and cry that internal security could readily be reft to the FBI and the federal courts and that there was no need for congressional investigations. The latest developments, however, show the Department of Justice as throwing up its hands in helplessness when confronted with a case of a man whose writings it charged had coincided or paralleled the Communist causes. He denied being a promoter of Communist causes but the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in upholding the District Court said in effect that whether he lied or not was immaterial because there was no right to trial of a man's belief or writings. In substance, the court's action means that the question of a false oath in a future case of this kind is an issue that cannot be submitted to a jury because the subject matter itself now is ruled to be insusceptible of proof. This is a far-reaching application of a radical concept and overturns what has been an established principle of Anglo-American common law since the 16th century. The decision to drop the Lattimore case was not arrived at by the Department of Justice without considerable discussion. I got out of there and appealed to administrator Peterson to send some of his Civil Defense experts back here from their Battle Creek, Mich., headquarters, prepared for emergency anti-skunk action. I must say that administrator Peterson was helpful. He was a little late, maybe, but cooperative. From John Shirley Hurst of the Public Affairs Office of the CDA in Michigan I received a communication saying that it wouldn't be necessary for him to send his skunk specialists to Virginia. "We can help you evict the interlopers in your bomb shelter from right here," he said. He indicated that I might want to turn over the shelter to the skunks because he said they usually are beneficial to man. He meant they eat bugs and mice. They are, in addition, he said, producers of fine fur. That is, if they live in cool localities. "If you still are not swayed by these considerations and remain determined not to share your shelter," Hurst continued, "here are the procedures: "Seal all openings except a single exit. Sprinkle a patch of flour at the entrance and examine the area after dark. If trail-signs indicate the animal has left the den-site, the remaining opening should be closed off immediately." That means all I've got to do some moonlight night is inspect the flour for skunk footprints. But how am I to be sure all five of my skunks are represented by these clues? Hurst had still another idea. He said I could drive them away temporarily by sprinkling in their den some mapthalene ar paradichlorobenzene. This, he said, will cause their departure. Then I'm supposed to close the door. I must remind the Civil Defense specialists in skunks that these beasts already have taken possession of my bomb shelter. I mean they're there now. If Hurst wants to walk in with them and sprinkle paradichletetera, he may do so. I've got other, urgent business elsewhere. Hurst confessed that he really didn't know much about skunks personally. He said he got his dose from leaflet WL-181, as published by the Fish and Wild Life Service of the Interior Department. He offered to send me a copy. This was kind and it indicates the Civil Defense Administration as were effected in the 1940's against the promoters of Nazism could ever be successful again. For the truth is that present-day "liberals" who have inveighed against the nature of the indictments in the Lattimore case were in the forefront of the agitation to jail the Nazis followers in America on almost precisely the same ground a little more than a decade ago. But when alleged promoters of Communist causes now are indicted, the cry is that they would, if prosecuted, be punished for their beliefs and hence cannot be brought to trial on a perjury charge. For the fundamental issue in the Lattimore case was whether the Far Eastern specialist lied when he denied that he was a "promoter of Communist interests" and "follower of the Communist line." The grand jury charged him with lying and one indictment said he "willfully and knowingly" promoted such causes. The issue was not whether anybody could promote the Communist cause in America on the public platform or in the press under the protection of the right of free speech and a free press. It was whether Lattimore lied when he denied carrying out that sort of a course in his writings and speeches. The Senate Internal Security Subcommittee in September 1952 unanimously — that is, all Democrats and Republicans — made a report submitting to the Department of Justice five instances of alleged perjury charges and characterized Lattimore as a "conscious, articulate instrument of the Soviet conspiracy in the United States." But the Department of Justice, after being blocked by the U.S. Court of Appeals as to the wording of the indictments, finally gave up last week the effort to prosecute. Hence, so far as the Senate Internal Security Subcommittee is concerned, it may find itself compelled to make an exhaustive review of AMBLING WITH ANN Keefe Brasselle Sneaks Battered, 13-Year-Old Hat Into Every Film and Stage Appearance He Makes By ANN WARDELL SAUNDERS On the set of "Bring Your Smile Along" at Columbia, Keefe Brasselle Al Jolson in Warners' "The Singing Kid," when she was six. This issue that cannot be submitted to a jury because the subject matter itself now is ruled to be insusceptible of proof. This is a far-reaching application of a radical concept and overturns what has been an established principle of Anglo-American common law since the 16th century. The decision to drop the Lattimore case was not arrived at by the Department of Justice without considerable discussion among its lawyers. The case could have been taken on appeal to the Supreme Court of the United States. But to the top officials of the Department it looked as if the whole thing might come to a head during the 1956 political campaign. So the Eisenhower administration, rather than risk the injection into partisan politics of the controversy — which, by the way, was begun in the courts by the Trueman administration with the first indictments against Lattimore—decided to abandon it and pursue perhaps in some other case the issue of the scope of perjury indictments. This, however, leaves several unresolved questions up to Congress and its security committees: Is new legislation needed to curb propagandists who, it may be alleged, willfully and knowingly promote Communist interests inside the United States? Are propagandists for Communist causes in America to have a free hand hereafter in the "cold war"? Is there to be a reversal of the "clear and present danger" doctrine of the late Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes, famous liberal? For it was he who declared that the right of free speech does not include the right to cry "fire" in a crowded theater. The safety of the Republic used to be paramount even with judges of "liberal" persuasion — at least they didn't refuse to listen to the evidence of an alleged infraction.

AMBLING WITH ANN Keefe Brasselle Sneaks Battered, 13-Year-Old Hat Into Every Film and Stage Appearance He Makes By ANN WARDELL SAUNDERS On the set of "Bring Your Smile Along" at Columbia, Keefe Brasselle managed to sneak a battered, dillapidated 13-year-old hat into one scene, just as he says he has in every film and stage appearance he has ever made. The crummy-looking pork-pie affair is his good luck charm, he thinks. "I've rescued it from the incinerator three times," he said, "and once had to go down to the Salvation Army salvage store and get it back. My wife had given it to them." Keefe got the hat brand-new for his first vaudeville performance when he was only 17, and he's clung to it ever since. Charles Coburn sold all his horses but one — a trotter named Olmsted — and leased him to the Coburn Stables trainer-manager. Too busy to keep up with the horses, he assured me. Richard Egan tells me he's in the market for a three-bedroom, three-bath modern home, but won't have time to house-hunt before he heads for Georgia locations for "The View From Pompey's Head." "When you finally get the money for a house, you don't have time to shop around" for one," Dick comments, wryly. But he's mighty happy with his new role. His first non-adventure, no-violence part, and his first real "drawing room" role. Joe Louis will playmake himself as the former champ and friend of Tony Curtis, who stars with Pat Crowley and Ernest Borgnine. Naturally it's a prize fight vain. Jane Withers is back on the same lot where she started her movie career as a black-face angel with Al Jolson in Warners' "The Singing Kid," when she was six. This time for "Giant." Between takes on the set of "Sincerely ours," down Warners' way William Demarest gave out with tales about his wild-life adventures at his Hollywoodland Hills home. His most recent fauna episode was with an opossum caught in his storm drain. "He was trapped and couldn't get out," said Bill. "Tied several towels together and lowered them down the drain. The little animal climbed up to safety, and now he's a household pet." Orestee, the new Maltese tenor, who will be heard in Paramount's "The Vagabond King," says he started singing during the second World War in the caves of Malta, when that island was bombed daily for over two years. His vocalizing helped boost the morale among those who sought refuge in the caves when their homes were bombed out. Jack Lemmon says: "A long life is what you get if you give up everything that makes you want one." Syndicated by Saunders Enterprises. For additional information 204 E. Center Phone KE 5-3741
