News Notes from the Lighter Side KEEPS THEM HAPPY ALBANY, N.Y. (UPI) — Gov. Nelson A. Rockefeller, who won a lot of women voters with his smile last November, gave them something more to love him for Monday. He signed a bill permitting life insurance companies to lower rates for women, because of their greater life expectancy, by knocking three years off the age of every woman insured. WRITERS DON'T READ WESTPORT, Conn. (UPI)—This suburban New York community is reputed to house more authors per square foot than any other in the country. But the public library, which set up a railroad station operation Monday to celebrate National Library Week, found only seven customers among 1,000 morning commuters. "We don't read books," said one grumpy traveler. "We write them." TOO MANY CURVES JOAO PESSAU, Brazil (UPI)—The local civil service commission issued Monday an order it said was designed to cut down on loiterers and sight-seers in government offices. It directs employees not to come to work in low-cut blouses or skirts that are cut to "enhance the exuberance of curves." SEE BETTER, TALK LESS Americans Finish New-Found Humor By LOUIIS CASSELS United Press International NEW BRUNSWICK, N.J. (UPI) —For the first time in their national history, Americans are beginning to display humility. This new-found virtue was painfully acquired through a series of shattering disappointments that destroyed "the illusion of American omnipotence." But it may become America's greatest asset in giving the world mature and responsible leadership. That appraisal comes from Prof. Denis W. Brogan of Cambridge University, a distinguished British political scientist who has earned a reputation as "the foreigner who knows America best." Brogan, a short, rotund man with a ruddy complexion and bristling white eyebrows, speaks with the cultured accents of Oxford University, where he was educated. But he also speaks in the idiom and often the slang of America, which he has visited more than 30 times and about which he has written a dozen sympathetic, penetrating books. Wit And Wisdom His high-proof blend of wit and wisdom is currently being stowed upon the students and faculty of Rutgers University, in the form of a special lecture series endowed by the Johnson & Johnson surgical supply firm here. To listen to Brogan, either when he is glaring over the lectern at a spellbound audience, or conversing informally over a warm glass of wine, he is to "mood of proud disillusionment." Americans in the past world's greatest optimism was "born in progress, baptised in progress, created by men and women in progress." Their "our children will have than we." Americans are convinced time and a little rest of the world would be superiority of the way of life, and would political and economic that had provided both abundance here. Icons marched off into World War II, they posed with a generosity unall history, in an effort political freedom and progress in other countries. Goals Shattar But these hopes haven’t been the swift-moving recent years. Theasia as a rival centric and influence; the indency of many undertings to look to Soviet rather than American as a model; the appitude of many free r accepted American assisted American lead these things contrive new mood of pessimism. But the chief source can disillusionment, view, was "the day China had been savaged panese imperialism under Communist control." TOO MANY CURVES JOAO PESSAU, Brazil (UPI)—The local civil service commission issued Monday an order it said was designed to cut down on loiterers and sight-seers in government offices. It directs girl employees not to come to work in low-cut blouses or skirts that are cut to "enhance the exuberance of curves." SEE BETTER, TALK LESS WASHINGTON (UPI)—Irish writer Padraic Colum said Monday the electric light has dimmed the fine glow of Irish conversation. "In the old days, a family and its friends would gather around the peat fire for both light and warmth and there wasn't anything to do but talk, so they became famed for their conversational ability," he said. WRONG CHARGE NEWARK, N.J. (UPI)—Clarence Jones and Eugene Smith were cleared of charges—temporarily—Tuesday when each told Essex County Judge Walter Conklin: "I didn't receive stolen goods, your honor. I stole them." The new complaint calls it larceny. PASS THE COFFEE CHICAGO (UPI)—The Chicago Salvation Army reported receipt of an historic memento of France from a grateful World War I doughboy. L. J. Smith, 69, of St. Petersburg, Fla., sent the stone-like souvenir with a note which explained it was a doughnut given him 41 years ago by a Salvation Army lassie. New it's a doughnut that really needs to be dunked. THEY FIND A WAY YONKERS, N.Y. (UPI)—Peter Maynich reinforced the back door of his restaurant and bar against burglars who had broken it down six times in seven months. Monday, Maynich reported, they kicked in the front door. WIT And Wisdom His high-proof blend of wit and wisdom is currently being bestowed upon the students and faculty of Rutgers University, in the form of a special lecture series endowed by the Johnson & Johnson surgical supply firm here. To listen to Brogan, either when he is glaring over the lectern at a spellbound audience, or conversing informally over a warm glass of "almost British" beer, is to have the gift sought by the poet Robert Burns, "the power to see ourselves as others see us." This dispatch and two subsequent ones will attempt to share with the reader the experience of seeing present-day America through the eyes of a friendly and extraordinarily well-informed foreigner. To Brogan, the most striking aspect of America today is its RED HOT SPECIAL while quantities last! Oval Laundry Basket Buy! Unbreakable plastic! 4-bushel size. Solid bottom.

Americans in the past were the world's greatest optimists. Their nation was "born in the age of progress, baptised in the religion of progress, created and people by men and women who believed in progress." Their belief was "our children will have it better than we." Americans are convinced that, given time and a little help, the rest of the world would recognize the superiority of the American way of life, and would imitate the political and economic institutions that had provided both freedom and abundance here. Thus Americans marched off in World War I to "make the world safe for democracy." And thus, after World War II, they poured out aid with a generosity unmatched in all history, in an effort to secure political freedom and economic progress in other countries. Goals Shattered But these hopes have been shattered by the swift-moving events of recent years. The rise of Russia as a rival center of power and influence; the incredible tendency of many undeveloped nations to look to Soviet communism rather than American democracy as a model; the apparent ingratitude of many free nations which accepted American aid but resisted American leadership—all of these things contributed to the new mood of pessimism. But the chief source of American disillusionment, in Brogan's view, was "the discovery that China had been saved from Japanese imperialism only to fall under Communist control."
