Editorial Page Wednesday, July 20, 1953 Anaheim (Cal.) Bulletin — 11 Newspapers Tops Every week in the United States, $21 million is spent for newspapers, which is more than Americans spend on all other reading matter combined. Nothing could indicate more convincingly the solid position which the daily and weekly newspapers of the country hold with the public. Whether it's a small town weekly or a metropolitan daily, the newspaper is read with much more interest than any other type of publication. And it has been repeatedly proved that, while news reports of radio and television stations have wide followings, people still look to newspapers to give them the complete story. All this has a significance which advertisers should not overlook and, indeed, which many of them are becoming more aware of. The fact that a large cigarette manufacturer recently decided to withdraw sponsorship of one of the biggest television shows and concentrate on newspaper advertising, speaks for itself. The fact, too, that California's largest bank along with most other major companies center their advertising around newspapers—including the weekly newspapers—is further evidence of the continuing effectiveness of this type of publication. As long as people are interested in what other people are doing, or what they themselves are doing, the newspaper will be in demand. LOOKIN' N' LISTENIN' . . .

Before breezing off to England, Gerald Mayer signed TV Actor Kevin McCarthy for top man in his "African Drumbeat" series. He expected to recruit others in the cast from British and African lists. Now, hear tell Gerald is having his problems on location in South Africa. One of which is to find an actor to playmake a detective who speaks with an Afrikaans accent and also can talk Zulu! This series could be good entertainment, what with Kevin playing Harry Jordan, American soldier of fortune, who is always on the prowl for a fast buck, with consequence adventures. That Dan O'Herlihy sure gets around these days. He's set for the lead in the U.S. Steel Hour teleplx, "Seventh Veil," for August 3. Dan plays a sort of Svengall-style music teacher who creates a genius out of a rich gal. But the July 30 Spec beats them to the draw with "Svengall and the Blonde." Producer Alan Handley is dreaming up a musical score to what once was DuMaurier's "Trilby." Carol Channing will make like the blonde, with Basil Rathbone the spine-tingling Svengall.

Down Warner’s way, Clarence Muse and Michael Fox have been inked as regulars for the "Casablanca" series. Muse plays the role of Sam, the piano player, and Fox gets the job as the bartender, Sasha. Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz are building a miniature park for their two children within the grounds of their new Beverly Hills home. Lucy hopes to move in before they start filming "Forever Darling." While most of us have to worry about how to lose weight, Nan Leslie, a regular in "Kings Row" teleseries, is worried about how to gain. She tells me that she has lost 11 pounds since filming of the series began and her doctor has her on a strict diet of malted milk and raw egg — four times a day. Clint Walker, who takes on the top role of "Cheyenne," is converting his station wagon into an uranium prospecting truck. Says he did some mining before taking up acting, and he seems to think there are good indications of uranium deposits near Vasquez Rocks, where the "Cheyenne" company has been locationing.

July 18, 1955 Dear Sir: I happened to be one, unfortunately, of the thirty-thousand who received so-called "Press Preview" tickets to the opening of Disneyland and I feel it my duty, in part payment for the tickets, to report to the press. I considered it a privilege to receive a couple of passes and my wife and myself were looking forward to going with excited anticipation. There had been so much good publicity in magazines and newspapers about Disney. We were frankly dissapointed as were thousands of others. We found that instead of being "special people," we were used, as were the others, as a background or backdrop for TV cameras and as human material to fill a magazine and newspaper picture. We found a jam-packed crowd of disgruntled people—men, women and children complaining: "I didn't think it would be so commercial "50c for a ham sandwich." "I'm dissapointed, nothing's ready." "Ditto," responded a mother. And a business man commented: "Why they invite a crowd like this without planning for them is more than I know." A gentleman and his wife, who had left their home in L. A. at 1:00 o'clock growled: "Our tickets were for 2:30; it took us until 4:30 to get here; stop and start, start and stop; my motor got hot. We're leaving!" And a small boy in the crowd at the parade: "Mommy, all I can see is the flag." And a mother to her son: "No, sonny, they won't let you ride in the boats—they're taking pictures for television!" "You told me there were going to be rides." And a local father responded: "A poor imitation of Knotts." These were the comments and more that your reporter overheard. Not one was complimentary. Perhaps this is the mental state of our people, but I'm inclined to believe the 'folks gathered there had a right to complain. Sometimes when I think of all the "Progress" that has come to Anaheim, I'm just a little sad. The freeway, subdivisions and now Disneyland, has surrounded our town with loud billboards and made an easy entrance for thousands of people, including the ham of Hollywood. I'm a little sad when I see a land that was once graced with orange trees that blossomed in the spring with sweet aroma and brought golden fruit in the fall. Where the orange grove stood is now a jungle "adventureland" with a man made stream of yellow mud, and over it all the sound of screeching birds piped in from a record of some Hollywood recording studio. What a false reality is this. Film is the place for fantasy. And I like Disney fantasy. Both myself and my family have enjoyed Disney pictures from "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs" to "The Living Desert." But if our children want to see the "frontier," or "the painted desert," we will go to Arizona or New Mexico. If they want to see real deer and bear, we will take them to Yellowstone. If they want to see the old river boats, we will drive to the Mississippi river. But we will not ask them to believe this cartoon caricature of our land. And when we want to see fantasy-Disney at his best—we will go to the theater, or second best the TV.

HOLLYWOOD George Gobel Has Torrid Love Scene In Movie Debut By ALINE MOSBY United Press Hollywood Writer HOLLYWOOD (UP) — George Gobel, the top TV comedian of the nation, has been christened a movie star via sizzling love scenes with shapely Mitzi Gaynor. To millions of TV fans "Lone-some George" is a placid, married guy with a TV wife, Alice, played by Jeff Donnell. But for his movie debut Paramount Studio presented the crew-cut comic with a torrid love interest, Miss Gaynor, who chases shy George throughout "The Birds and the Bees." “This isn’t the story of my life so I don’t think anybody will mind the romance,” George said. Many Scripts Gobel was bombarded with film scripts from every studio after his TV success. The comedian’s agent turned them down “because he didn’t think they were right for me.” Then PARAMOUNT asked George to look at an old Henry Fonda-Barbara Stanwyck movie, “The Lady Eve.” Gobel decided to appear in a re-make as his own independent production, “so we make money—if the picture is good.” Though George entered movies without his TV wife, he took along Gobelisms that became household bywords. In today’s script George let out a “Suu—rre he does.” In fact, half of the set workers from director Norman Taurog to the payers $18,000,000 last year.

BACKSTAIRS AT THE WHITE HOUSE Secret Service Agents Laughing at European Report That U.S. Has 100 Agents at Geneva By MERRIMAN SMITH GENEVA, Switzerland (UP) — Backstairs at the far-traveling White House. Secret Service agents are laughing at European reports that they have 100 agents on duty here. Under 50 would be a better guess. The Swiss are very particular about the admission of weapons into their traditionally neutral country. The Secret Service, however, brought in a bunch of small machine guns. Press secretary James C. Hagerty told the men traveling with the President: Bring evening clothes, but only black dinner jackets. It turns out that the Swiss think poorly of white summer jackets popular in the United States. The U. S. Treasury, some weeks ago, started an investigation into the outside earnings of law enforcement officers employed by the Treasury and the White House. The recipient cops are very angry about it. Mr. Eisenhower, even with his World War II years in Europea, does not know Khrushchev. The President's relations with the Russians were mostly on the military level. If the Russians serve the President vodka, he'll probably decline. But he'll drink a Scotch and water with the Soviets. Accounts of Russian dinner parties gulping 30 and 40 shots of vodka don't quite tell the story. The drinks are in thimble-like glasses which hold less than half an ounce. It will be interesting to see tomorrow night whether the Swiss President serves French or Russian champagne when the Swiss chief executive entertains for the Big Four. The United States does not admit it at present, but there are people who know who say that the Russian champagne beats the French. Champagne is an industry with the French, not with the Russians. Before Mr. Eisenhower left for Fonda-Barbara Stanwyck movie, "The Lady Eve." Gobel decided to appear in a re-make as his own independent production, "so we make money—if the picture is good." Though George entered movies without his TV wife, he took along Gobelisms that became household bywords. In today's script George let out a "Suu—rre he does." In fact, half of the set workers from Norman Taurog to the carpenters were "s-urre he doesing." "But unless my expressions fit into the story the director doesn't fool with them," explained George. "Sometimes I'll add one in rehearsal and if it fits, Norman will leave it in." Many Fans Movie stars are TV fans, too, and George's first day on his set brought a string of visitors including Jimmy Stewart, Charleton Heston and Doris Day. Even movie master Cecil B. DeMille wants to meet him. According to Paramount custom, George was given a bicycle to ride around the lot. His is labeled, "Lonesome George." Mitzi Gaynor sighed, "George is so sweet—and he's really a great dramatic actor." But whether Gobel wants to remain a star, he isn't sure. "We'll wait and see what happens when this is released a year from now," he said in his usual modest manner. "I just hope that after this one is out we'll still be in a position to make a decision about more movies." "But you can't plan too far ahead. We don't even know what we'll do on television next fall." Europe, his mail was clogged for days by letters of prayer for the success of his meeting with the Russians. The White House acknowledges most mail, but some of the country's biggest trade associations are somewhat miffed because their recent letters to the chief executive have not drawn as much as postcards in return.

For additional information OTHMAN'S VIEWS American Autos Found All Over Foreign Lands WASHINGTON.—Now I think I know why there are so many Hudson Hornets in Heidelberg, 'so many Chevvlies in Cairo, and so many Fords in France. All over this world are American automobiles, in various stages of beatuppedness. Many of them, of course, were imported by natives of numerous foreign lands. And last year—the military shipped abroad for soldiers, sailors, and flying men a total of 71,667 machines. Only about half of these motor cars ever came back. That, said Sen. Warren G. Magnuson, (D., Wash.), is a good thing. Saves the government a pretty penny shipping 'em home again. He was in the Pacific fleet, himself, during the war and he knows about the international used car business. Our fighting men in far places use their cars while there and when they come home 50 per cent sell their sedans abroad at a nice profit. The military ships these cars free for men being assigned to foreign posts. This cost the taxpayers $18,000,000 last year and I'm certainly not the one to say this is a bad investment. Or a good one, either. "Can anybody in the armed services transfer an auto abroad?" asked Sen. Magnuson, chairman of the Interstate and Foreign Commerce Committee. Earl B. Smith, director of Transportation and Communication for the Department of Defense, said he believed there was a limitation as to the rank of military auto- WHAT EMOTIONAL ILLNESS REALLY MEANS Back in the consulting room, Dr. Frank spoke to his patient after reading over the laboratory reports and refreshing his memory about the physical examination and symptoms. He said, "Mrs. Albertson, my examination and these laboratory tests show that physically you are in good shape. There's no evidence of cancer or any other structural disease. Your symptoms are functional, perhaps emotional, in origin." Was she relieved? Well, yes, in a way. But listen. "Now look here, doctor, I'm not imagining those pains and other troubles. I'm not just another neurotic woman. Emotional, indeed. Let me tell you . . . " And she did. But good. The doctor wondered for the umteenth time how he could communicate what he means so that his patients won't feel insulted. He's abandoned using the word psychiatric whenever possible. Nerves is the word that gives his patients something physical to fix their attention on instead of the real nature of the trouble, so it isn't so good. Here is what most physicians are trying to say when they talk of symptoms coming from emotional or nervous causes. Let's pretend that you are the patient in my consulting room. You just sat down and I'm talking to you. And you still having those troubles? You are, eh? Well, I can understand how much they bother you and we've got to do something about it. We've made progress. We've found a lot of things they aren't due to. My various workings, such as making various hormones or sending nerve impulses to muscles and intestine causing them to tauten. I don't mean your glands or nerves are out of order. I just give those as examples. They're good examples because they and other body functions can be influenced by happenings, events, and your own emotions quite as much as by germs or viruses. Our bodies are very complicated systems. Our attitudes and emotion influence the various workings of the body just as disordered functions influence how we feel and think. You know this is so when you have an upset stomach or a headache. You aren't as cheery or energetic as usual. For that matter, you know that a disgusting sight or great disappointment can upset the stomach, even though your stomach itself is perfectly healthy, without ulcer or any other disease. Milder fears or anxieties that you might not at first realize are important can upset delicate body functions. You have some very real symptoms that naturally bother you a good deal. Our job is to find out just what is disturbing the function or workings of your essentially healthy body. That is going to require several talks together, you and I. We'll try to find out just what the underlying disturbance is that brings on these pesky symptoms of yours. In the meantime, not as a cure for anything but simply to help us get better payers $18,000,000 last year and I'm certainly not the one to say this is a bad investment. Or a good one, either. "Can anybody in the armed services transfer an auto abroad?" asked Sen. Magnuson, chairman of the Interstate and Foreign Commerce Committee. Earl B. Smith, director of Transportation and Communication for the Department of Defense, said he believed there was a limitation as to the rank of military automobile owners on the move. There was a protest from the uniformed ones in the rear and after a whispered conference, Smith said anybody down to the rank of private could have his car shipped abroad by his Uncle Sam if he were being given a permanent assignment. Sen. Magnuson and Co., were in investigating the report by the Hoover Commission on military transportation in general; that was the one, you remember, that mentioned dog food shipped by air to Okinawa and ping-pong balls to Berlin. Ex-President Hoover and associates, who've been looking into widely assorted operations of the government in hope of cutting the cost of same, were concerned particularly about those intercontinental auto shipments. They said that almost every ship carrying military cargo to Europe, the Orient, Alaska, the Mediterranean and various island bases, as observed by them, carried from five to 100 automobiles. They said that total costs of shipping these cars, including vessel depreciation, Panama Canal tolls and interest on investment, wouldn't be $18,000,000 but $27,000,000. They recommended (and there was a mighty howl about this) that the government quit shipping automobiles for free and instead set up a drive-yourself rental agency in far places for use of Americans. The idea would be for the Defense Department, for instance, to set up car pools wherever the military congregates and rent any foot-sore one an automobile for as long as he wanted to use it. He'd actually pay the cost of the operation, even though the rates would be lower than those charged civilians here by private rental agencies. This, the Hoover experts figured, would save the government a pretty penny in shipping charges and it probably would save the military man abroad some money, Here is what most physicians are trying to say when they talk of symptoms coming from emotional or nervous causes. Let's pretend that you are the patient in my consulting room. You just sat down and I'm talking to you. And you still having those troubles? You are, eh? Well, I can understand how much they bother you and we've got to do something about it. We've made progress. We've found a lot of things they aren't due to. My examination and the laboratory tests show that your body basically is in good shape. There isn't any sign of tumor, cancer, ulcer or other things that might have to be cut out. That's good. It leaves quite a few ways that various functions of your body can be out of kilter. By functions of the body, I mean its THE DAVID LAWRENCE DISPATCH Claim Speeches at Geneva Conference Have Same Meaning -- Only the Tones Sound Different (This is an analysis based on information from the principal capitals of the world, where the Geneva Conference is the topmost topic of discussion.) "The voice is Jacob's voice, but the hands are the hands of Esau." This might well describe the events at the outset of the Geneva Conference. For the speeches have the same meaning as always — though the tones are different. Despite all the fanfare and the publicity buildup, the public statements by each of the Big Four puts the case exactly where it has been for the last ten years. President Eisenhower didn't have to go all the way to Switzerland to find out that, if the Soviet Union can "negotiate" the withdrawal of American troops from Europe and bring about the breakup of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization by caijolery and nice talk in place of the bluster and threats which have proved futile heretofore, they would do so and call it a "relaxation of tension." Yet that's what Premier Bulginin did in his opening address. He says he wants an over-all security agreement for Europe and, even before it is an established footnote, he suggests that the and take a chance on the Russian Bear. So far as the British diplomats are concerned, this kind of conference may give them an opportunity to try their talents of versatility and adroitness. They'll offer many variations on the President's plan and try every device in diplomacy's notebook to see if there isn't a common ground. It would be easy to say that the Bulginin speech was delivered for "public consumption" and that privately there may be some chance for his withdrawal from fixed positions. But, curiously enough, this Geneva Conference doesn't permit of a double standard in policy because it is for the most part being conducted in the open where peoples can read about it. Hence, for the Soviets to concede that there could be really free elections among the satellite states, as urged by the allies, is to propose a loss of control of those countries by the Soviets. Conversely, the Bulginin suggestion that NATO is dismantled and, even before a general security plan for all of Europe becomes effective, that the defense plans of the allies be scrapped looks as if the Soviet "summiters" think Mr. Eisenhower and his colleagues can be easily de- set up car pools wherever the military congregates and rent any foot-sore one an automobile for as long as he wanted to use it. He'd actually pay the cost of the operation, even though the rates would be lower than those charged civilians here by private rental agencies. This, the Hoover experts figured, would save the government a pretty penny in shipping charges and it probably would save the military man abroad some money, too. Many a soldier protested this idea bitterly, but Smith promised to study it carefully. More later on the subject of Uncle Sam, the auto rental man.

Center Phone KE 5-3741 Yet that's what Premier Bulganin did in his opening address. He says he wants an over-all security agreement for Europe and, even before it is an established fact, he suggests that the North Atlantic Treaty Organization be suspended and indeed dissolved. Not content with a program designed to weaken the free world militarily in Europe and leave it at the mercy of the big Red Armies, the Soviet spokesman went further and proposed that allies surrender in Asia, too, by turning over Formosa to the Red Chinese thus rewarding the aggressor in the Far East. All this isn't surprising. They've known about it in intelligence circles in London for a long time and have been warning the top diplomats of the Soviet schemes. They've known about it in Washington and have "briefed" President Eisenhower about it. But, with characteristic good nature, the President chooses to look at the brighter side — he isn't going to frown and fume over the Russian pronouncement. Instead he's going to keep on insisting that the Conference make some agreements that will be worth while. When the Conference is over, he wants to be able to say that he tried hard to be friendly and accomplish something. Mr. Eisenhower's opening remarks restated the Western position firmly and with a well-defined outline on each point, so that there was no chance of misunderstanding. The Soviet rulers should know the West isn't going to retreat and surrender — but they think Americans are so anxious for peace at any price that they are ready to give up the defense of Europe. What is amazing is that Bulganin made his proposal seriously. He must have known it would get nowhere. There are diplomats in some European capitals who see all of this as part of preconceived strategy — to outline the divergent positions, to appear to be trying to harmonize them and finally argue that, since there is a virtual stalemate, the thing to do is to let matters stay as they are indefinitely. This would mean acquiescence by the West in the status quo. It would mean leaving Germany dismembered. It would mean maintaining Soviet control of the satellites with big armies of occupation. Maybe after a week of exchanging compliments and lofty talk, the "summiteers" will say: "Well, after all, it's better than war — so why not drift along?" The key to peace will then revert to the peoples of Germany and Eastern Europe. Will they accept the status quo as a permanent settlement? Probably not. So, while the crisis in Europe may be deferred for some time, the fundamental issues causing it will not go unresolved forever. (Copyright, 1955, New York Herald Tribune Inc.)
