Editorial Page Saturday, July 30, 1955 Anaheim (Cal.) Bulletin — 7 Gone or Going? At this time of the year, the American populace can be divided into two distinct groups: those unfortunate people who have had their vacations and those who have not. The former group are already looking to next year; the latter are thinking about road maps and boats and trains and planes and mountains and seashores and even foreign lands. Vacation travel has become one of the Nation's biggest industries, with billions being spent each year by the ever-growing "get-away-from-the-grind" contingent. And no longer is it necessary to have every nickel you'll need before you set out on your journey. No matter where you're going or how you intend to travel, banks will finance you as long as your credit is good: Thus the former practice of saving over a period for a trip can be put in reverse — travel first and save later. It's one means of traveling when it best fits your desires rather than your pocketbook. The speed up in means of transportation — better roads and automobiles, swifter land and air carriers — is making it possible for people to go farther and see more in brief vacations than they could as recently as 10 or 15 years ago. Your Birthday Forecast By STELLA SATURDAY, JULY 30 — Born today, there is definitely a touch of genius in your makeup but it rests upon you to develop it so that it becomes activated in a manner which will bring you success. You have talents in a number of fields but you must select that one thing which interests you most, and concentrate on it to the exclusion of all else if you are to reach the heights to which you are entitled. It is possible that you may develop a little more slowly than some others, but once you have achieved your success it is likely on this earth! You are always hunting for the perfection which is just around the next corner; the pot of gold at the end of the next street; the dream, high in the clouds, hovering over the mountain, just out of sight! You are the idealist who never seems able to reach his goal — the visionary who is a dreamer par excellence! Unless you can learn to be a little more practical in the application of your inventive genius, you are probably doomed to a great deal of disappointment in life.

You have a good head for business and are often impelled to "take chances" where others would consider there was no chance for success. This feeling for experimentation and speculative inventiveness may bring you success where others, in similar fields have previously failed.

This is due not only to kindly and fair-minded personality of Mr. Eisenhower but the confidence which he generally have in his consciousness desire to carry our national and international ties they want. Politically, Mr. Eisenhower would win by a landslide presidential election were this month. But whether he win in 1956 depends on what he maintains his popularity twelve months from now or offers a dramatic reversal...wise, his political fortune year hence would depend whether the nation is in an perous condition or in the era of a recession. One possibility of a change in the curve of their identities popularity is related directly to some sources or present strength which could become weaknesses. The urge to peace is strongest passion in Annapolis today. Mr. Eisenhower has amazing extent has the surplus of the two main bodies of American opinion. First, the President is truly by the average man, who not be expected to follow details of world problems who feels that Mr. Eisenhower will do everything in his way to avoid another world war. Second, the President has confidence of those who follow foreign policy closely who believe that he will not "taken in" or deceived by Russian strategy because his military background not likely to be fooled or mis-trained by mere promises out performances.

Eisenhower is today more popular with the American people than any president of the United States has been in the last century. This is due not only to the loyalty and fair-minded personality of Mr. Eisenhower but to confidence which the people generally have in his conscience's desire to carry out the national and international policies they want. Politically, Mr. Eisenhower hold win by a landslide if a presidential election were held this month. But whether he will win in 1956 depends on whether he maintains his popularity five months from now or suffers a dramatic reversal. Likewise, his political fortunes are hence would depend on either the nation is in a proxus condition or in the midst of recession. The possibility of a decided change in the curve of the president's popularity is related directly to some sources of his present strength which could come weaknesses. The urge to peace is the longest passion in America. Mr. Eisenhower to an uplifting extent has the support the two main bodies of American opinion. First, the President is trusted by the average man, who can be expected to follow the trails of world problems and so feels that Mr. Eisenhower will do everything in his power avoid another world war. Second, the President has the influence of those who do low foreign policy closely and so believe that he will not be taken in" or deceived by the Russian strategy because, with military background, he is likely to be fooled or victimized by mere promises with performances. The months ahead will indicate what the true course of events usually have taken in other parliamentary bodies. The Communist game is a tricky one. America is too strong to be challenged in a nuclear war. So the Soviets have decided that what they would not win by war they might win by "peaceful coexistence." So anxious are the western peoples for peace that Mr. Eisenhower promises to go "to any length" consistent with justice and honor. But there is a large element in America which would just as readily omit the qualification and ask him to go to any length and pay any price for peace. The Soviets have turned on the fountains of conciliatory words and pleasing gestures. Visits are to be exchanged by high officials. Exchanges of citizens groups are to be encouraged — and what is more logical, they think, than the opening thereafter of trade barriers so that needed machinery and raw materials can flow to Soviet Russia? It will take months for this policy to be digested by the western world, and then will come the appraisal by the public as to whether Mr. Eisenhower has had the net effect of strengthening Soviet Russia's position at the expense of the western democracies. The British and French and other governments of the free world will side with the President on any concessions he makes. They are terrorized by the idea of a nuclear war. But the test inside America will come when the people find out just what Mr. Eisenhower meant when he said that in October at the foreign ministers' meeting there would have to be some "giving" on our part.

HOLLYWOOD Davy Crockett Blasted by Boys In Film Capital By ALINE MOSBY United Press Hollywood Writer HOLLYWOOD (UP)—A revolution that may topplethe nation's economy, or at least the fur business, is brewing here today. Two boys have launched an "Anti-Davy Crockett" club. This movement to de-throne the current idol was hatched over bicycles and spraying hoses on a hot afternoon down the street from some friends of mine. When word filtered through the palm trees of this simmering plot I crept into the circle to report on the conspirators. The leaders of the insurgents are Anthony Wilde, 11, and Hillary Silver, 10. They are collecting neighborhood anti-D.C. members because: 1. Davy was a low-living gamble and a drinking man and not "as perfect as Disney says." 2. It was all a commercial plot to get kids to buy coonskin caps, anyway. "We're starting a club and Hilary's cousin in Salinas, Calif., already has one," reported young Wilde. "No man is that good. Davy is just a superman in a coonskin cap and we don't swallow that stuff. It's nothin' the way he really was." "Disney said he died last in the Alamo!" continued Anthony, "Actually the whole battle was a terrible military mistake." "Davy used to gamble, we learned in school. But Disney shows him as such a clean guy."

Mr. Eisenhower may have to choose between a course for America that could mean appeasement—dependency to let the Communists consolidate their gains—and a forthright and adamantition against permitting Communist tyranny to become a permanent fixture in the world. The Democrats, although divided as a party and leaning for the most part now toward the measure side, will not hesitate to take political advantage of "breaks" that go against President. They will hold on responsible for any encouragement that the Russians may drive for further acts of aggression or enslavement of weak countries. This has been the political direction such development.

New York Herald Tribune Inc.) WASHINGTON.—Guess I won't be able to hire Secretary of Air Harold Talbott to fix up my own office efficiency, but it may be that his ex-partner, Paul B. Mulligan, will be available. I need help. The Messrs. Talbott and Mulligan, as you may have read, were charging fees up to $78,000 for boosting the output of a big concern's office workers. They measured the labor that a typist, for instance, ought to do and presumably saw that she did it. So the Senate Investigating Committee has been looking into the ethics of Talbott taking $60,000-a-year profits from this firm while he was working for his Uncle Sam. He admitted he might have made a mistake writing business letters on Air Force stationery, but he insisted he'd done nothing wrong. Then came the big, dramatic moment. Our terrible tempered Secretary of the Air Force announced that he's taken formal action to dissolve the partnership. And that leaves Mulligan, a medium-sized man in a chocolate suit and mustache to match to run the business. I don't intend to play him any $78,000 for reorganizing my office operations, but I could afford a reasonable fee, like maybe $8, for some advice. This, Mulligan, is my problem: I function at a desk in the corner of the city room of the Washington Daily News and I spend two hours every afternoon worrying about writing my piece and staring at the wall, which is painted buff and green. This is a waste of time and what I want. Kaltenborn Edits the News BY H. V. KALTENBORN and ROLF KALTENBORN When Woodrow Wilson emphasized the right of every people to choose its own form of government he opened a Pandora's box. He wanted the first World War to end with a peace that would make the world safe for democracy. He succeeded only in making it unsafe for colonialism. Those people who did not achieve independence after the 1914-1918 conflict were determined to succeed after the Second World War. The most advanced colonial peoples have already won their freedom. The others have been making trouble ever since. My own visits to newly independent countries have convinced me that some will need more time before they can enjoy home rule or profit by it. The people of Indonesia had more peace and prosperity under Dutch rule than they have today. French rule in northern Indo-China was not always beneficent, but it gave the people more freedom than they have under France's Communist successor. The government of newly independent Burma has done better than I predicted after witnessing funeral rites for the assassinated members of the entire first Cabinet of Independent Burma. But the native administration is not nearly as efficient as that of the able British governors of Burma. Revolutionary groups in outlying areas have not been pacified. My personal contacts with native political leaders in various parts of North Africa taught me that untrained fiery agitators can inspire violence more easily than they can create good government. Practically all the leaders of the independence movement in Moroccacao in China and Portuguese Timor in the Malayan Archipelago, the Lisbon government feels it will have also to surrender them if it gives up Goa. But Portugal is fighting a losing battle. Red China would have seized Portuguese Macao long ago if it were not close enough to Hong Kong to be a most convenient port for smuggling war material into Red China. CYPRUS is another area which demands self-determination as promised to all subject peoples by Woodrow Wilson some 40 years ago. Britain, which controls this Eastern Mediterranean island as one of its few remaining colonial areas, says it needs Cyprus as a defense base since it had to surrender its defense areas in the Suez Canal zone to the demands of a completely independent Egypt. The British have fared badly in the Near East. First they lost Palestine; then Iran took over their immensely valuable oil properties. Complete withdrawal from Egypt soon followed, and now Cyprus must be surrendered in one way or another. Greece says it should have Cyprus because most of the inhabitants are Greek. Turkey, which had this strategically located island and until the British took it away in 1878, says it ought to get it back because it is right at Turkey's own front door. Next month the British, Turks and Greeks will seek a settlement of the Cyprus question at a meeting in London. If they can't agree, the United Nations Assembly will take over the problem. But one thing is certain: The days of Cyprus as a British colony are numbered. "FROM GREENLAND'S Icy I don't intend to pay him any $78,000 for reorganizing my office operations, but I could afford a reasonable fee, like maybe $6, for some advice. This, Mulligan, is my problem: I function at a desk in the corner of the city room of the Washington Daily News and I spend two hours every afternoon worrying about writing my piece and staring at the wall, which is painted buff and green. This is a waste of time and what I want to know, Mulligan, is whether the wall's the wrong color. Then there's the problem of the copy girls. These are beauties every on, and obliging, and they shag out every hour or so to bring me a paper cup of iced tea, which costs 12 cents. I'm not concerned about the cost so much as the fact that I nearly always manage to spill the tea on my desk. Mopping up the mess, with at least two young ladies helping me, is not conducive to efficiency. Then, sir, as the hour grows late and my deadline approaches I seem to have a parade of visitors. There's a lady who sells homemade chocolate drops, which I've been buying from her now for more than 20 years. There are press agents from the movies and government and the Association of Ice Manufacturers. There are friends who drop in for a chat and, sometime, a small loan. My callers also include citizens who have ideas for stories they think should be written and others who are unhappy about items that already have been printed. I guess I'm just plain inefficient, Mulligan, when they're angry. Anything to get away from the typewriter. Across 13th Street from my window is a fire house. There sirens shriek and bells clang and I always jump up to see the excitement. This is bad and what I want to know, sir, is whether I need a seat belt? Between iced tea I spend a good deal of time at the water cooler, which is a pleasant place to chat with my pals in the linotype department. I also have long, scientific discourses with the assistant managing editor about poodles. Finally, the matter of my typewriter. The "y" key sticks and I find myself writing tricky syllable with "y's" in 'em, so I'll have an excuse to stop and do a little mechanical work. I greased the machine other day with a piece of a soap and this did not help. I mean, Mulligan, there never was such inefficiency in an off-the-road car. But the native administration is not nearly as efficient as that of the able British governors of Burma. Revolutionary groups in outlying areas have not been pacified. My personal contacts with native political leaders in various parts of North Africa taught me that untrained fiery agitators can inspire violence more easily than they can create good government. Practically all the leaders of the independence movement in Morocco are too young, too ignorant and too hot-headed to do more than further divide the Moroccans among themselves: If the French were foolish enough to let them take over Morocco the interior tribes would be at war with the more developed coastal population overnight. Freedom works in India and Pakistan because the outstanding leaders there are British-trained. The British had also created a large enough class of educated native and British civil servants to carry both countries through the difficult first decade of independence. I well remember Moslem leader Jinnah's fervent tribute to the system of justice he had inherited from the British. I interviewed the father of Pakistan's independence on the day his country received its freedom. He was grateful to Britain for the sound administrative apparatus he inherited. Nehru of India and Magsaysay of the Philippines expressed similar gratitude for the administration lessons they learned from their foreign predecessors. NEHRU NOW wants to take over Goa, the last small foreign enclave on Indian soil. To put pressure on Portugal, whose flag has flown over Goa since 1510, Nehru has expelled Portugal's diplomats from India. He hopes to incorporate Goa into free India without violence and will probably succeed. Because Goa is linked for judicial purposes with Portuguese Maia. Next month the British, Turks and Greeks will seek a settlement of the Cyprus question at a meeting in London. If they can't agree, the United Nations Assembly will take over the problem. But one thing is certain. The days of Cyprus as a British colony are numbered. "FROM GREENLAND'S ice mountains to India's coral strand," self-determination is the order of the day. Woodrow Wilson expounded it as a way to permanent peace both before and after we entered the First World War. His words inflamed the imagination of all literate subject peoples and stimulated their demand for political independence. They have been demanding and receiving some measure of freedom from colonial rule ever since. Portugal, France and Britain, the three remaining powers with important colonies, will see them slip out of their control one by one. Larger autonomy is the solution in areas such as North Africa. A transfer of sovereignty seems unavoidable in Goa and in some of Portugal's other holdings. Cyprus is certainly entitled to self-determination if there can be just allowance for Britt allowance for Britain's and Turkey's immediate defense needs. We can be happy that as far back as 1898 we declared that "Cuba is and of right ought to be free and independent" at the very time when we were wrestling control of Cuba from Spain. We can also be proud that every American President from 1898 to the day of Philippine independence promised the Islands their early freedom. Woodrow Wilson had every right to preach self-determination. His own country has championed it since it won its own freedom from British rule.

AS NICHOLS SEES IT Financial Writers Find Canadian Black Bears Humorous But Difficult to Capture on Film By HARMAN W. NICHOLS KEMANO, B. C. (UP) — We were at the 2,600-foot level of the mountain here, looking at nothing in particular but the snow on top, when along came a lady bear. She was followed by her next of kin, two of the cutest teddies you ever did see. This was the cruel North Country. The concrete-pounding reporters on the trip had come to look at the new Kitimat smelter development, which one day will be the biggest of its kind in the world. Eventually 550,000 tons of aluminum will be processed here annually. So what do they see but three black bears. The newsmen, financial writers mostly, and therefore on the serious or fact-wise side, were, on this day, in a holiday mood. Gifted Actress Every last one, except this character who forgot his Brownie, carried a camera. Most eager of the group was a bright scribe from the New York Times named Jack Ryan. Jack was trying a new color movie camera on for size. Well, the bear looked a little hungry, so an unnamed member of the group produced a candy bar and pitched it in the direction of the lady bruin. She was interested, and right away started to play Hollywood. She came up real close and our eager colleague, Jack, got the closest of the close and started grinding away. The bear, whom we named Tebiatha, in honor of the late aunt of one of our crowd, did a few tricks. She stood on her hind legs. She turned and put her hinder to the wind and all the while there was a clicking of still black and white cameras from the likes of Nat S. Finney of the Washington bureau of the Buffalo Evening News, and others. Also the movie fellows. Tebiatha stood up, gulped the last of her sweets and headed for the woods, followed by her family. I asked Jack what a lady bear looked like, close up. He looked a little miffed. "How do I know?" he said. "But I'll fill you in when I develop these films. But let me tell you something — I know a little about bears." Jack opened his brand new movie box to reload his film and let out a howl. He hadn't loaded in the first place, and all the while he had risked life and limb to record something which he never can prove. "What'll my wife say," he said. "She'll never believe that me, a fine amateur photographer, got so close to a lady bear without bringing back some evidence via film. I feel like a ruined bruin, myself." "Well," said the unnamed character who provided the sweets, "you caused me to throw away my last candy bar. I like candy bars." "But worse," complained Jack, "I didn't get a chance to ask the lady bear what is on the other side of the mountain. I've always wanted to know." Well, Jack felt a little better the day when we saw the other side of the same mountain. And to be real truthful about it, it looked just like the side we saw the day before.
