THEODORE B. KUCHEL MAX BEGLER LEONARD KREIDT NEIL STANLEY D.E. MELLEN RALPH KOULAND CON YOUNG Hai Boyle NEW YORK — The first thing a couple does after buying a place in the country is to start giving weekend guests. This is because they make a surprising discovery. They find that in the snug retreat they yearned to "get away from it all" they have a new problem—they can't get away from each other either. So they start inviting weekend guests. And that serves a double purpose: 1. It gives their rural Eden the thorns that every paradise needs. 2. It provides them with someone to talk to—and criticize—beides each other. Nothing ing of warm goodwill and smug superiority. The following guide may be handy to a guest who wants to achieve this goal: 1. If the phone rings just as you havt tossed one of the host's children high in the air, don't run and pick up the receiver. Wait and catch the child first. 2. Never go into the kitchen unless the hostess first hands you an engraved invitation. 3. Don't merely chuckle at your host's jokes, or say, "I've heard that one." Roll on the floor in laughter. 4. Get badly sunburned. Suburbanites never really forgive a weekend guest who refuses to get sunburned. 5. Bring your own towels. Hostesses secretly hate guests who WASHINGTON—Congress in such a hurry to pack up go to the conventions that let tion was ground out in who lots without investigation or bate.

And that serves a double purpose: 1 — It gives their rural Eden the thorns that every paradise needs. 2 — It provides them with someone to talk to—and criticize—besides each other. Nothing brings a host and hostess closer together than their mutual disapproval of their houseguests. The relationship between a weekend guest and his host and hostess is one of the most complicated rituals of American civilization. What is the problem of the guest? He has a double daily. He must be neither a complete bore nor an utter boor. And yet he must make himself at least slightly ridiculous, or those who entertain him will feel cheated. People who own country places love to trade tales of the strange antics of their house guests. So, if you behave yourself with perfect propriety, you frustrate your host and hostess. They have nothing to bring about themselves when their neighbor says on Tuesday: "Well, we certainly had an odd call over this weekend. After he left we found he had been playing himself tick-tack-toe with a blue pencil on the bedroom wall." The idea is to depart leaving your host and hostess with a feel-cheated. People you an engraved invitation. 3. Don't merely chuckle at your host's jokes, or say, "I've heard that one." Roll on the floor in laughter. 4. Get badly sunburned. Suburbanites never really forgive a weekend guest who refuses to get sunburned. 5. Bring your own towels. Hostesses secretly hate guests who actually use those dinky overgrown napkins they drape around the bathroom and which carry such cute embroidered messages as "Put your paw tracks here." 6. If they get out the cards for a little game of canasta, be sensible and lose. Don't win. Do you think your host expects to pay out of his own pocket for all the hot dogs he serves you over a long weekend? 7. Hand your hostess a "guest insurance" policy on your arrival. This will cover the damages if you sit down on her antique sofa and break it. 8. Bring a gift they can use to make their country some more liveable. A small station wagon is always acceptable. 9. Do something zany, such as standing on your head after every meal and explaining: "It's the only way I've found to confuse my ulcer." That'll give them something to tell their neighbors after you have gone. Observe these simple rules, and the word will get around that you are an ideal weekend guest. People will soon be fighting to have you visit them—again and again. IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO From the Files of Anaheim Gasette By MRS. HENRY KUCHEL 75 Years Ago June 1977 One of the worst freaks played by the late wind was the scaring of Mr. Paty's horses, and consequent injuries to his wagon. The team was standing at the depot, the brea having just been unloaded. 50 Years Ago June 1902 Mrs. Tombes cottage on Placentia ave., a short distance north of her residence was destroyed by fire on Monday evening. The place was not occupied. Sweeney, well known as the airlines' friend on the Semi-Aviation subcommittee staff. All these bills were introduced at the last minute without hearing—in the hope that they would be overlooked and enraged into law in the smoke and fusion of Congress' last days. Pay-tollets lobby — one which didn't quite sneak through was the amendment to benefit Pennsylvania railroad and erase its pay-toilts charge for five to ten cents despite an O price ceiling. The man who publishes to pass this amendment was none other than President Truman's former counsel, Clifford, and the Senator went to bat for the pay tolls was Allan Frear of Delaware. Though the railroad pushed through its pay-toilet hike, also wanted exemption from $285,000 triple damage and brought against it by OPS violating price ceilings on pay-toilts. This suit was also introduced by "pay toillets". Frear however, though Congress agreed to dime toiletls it refused to knock out the law suit. Unlike the Pennsylvania the New York Central had increased pay tolls to ten cents in the Grand Central station prior to the OPS ruling but reduced the rate after the ruling was made. G.I. BONUS—In contrast to the way private bills benefiting few people were sneaked through Congress, here is the play-by-play story of a tough, 2-year-battle to secure a combat bonus for G.I. in Korea. Almost two years ago, September ber 1950, this columnist pointed to the unfairness of a service pay system which gave extra rises bonuses to pilots and submarine crews but none to the boys in the foxholes. Senator Tom Connally of Texas took up the cudgels by inserting the column in the Congressional record, following which Senator Dick Russell of Georgia introduced a bill giving a $50-a-month combat bonus Russell did his best to push the bill, but was finally defeated in 75 Years Ago June 1977 One of the worst freaks played by the late wind was the scaring of Mr. Paty's horses, and consequent injuries to his wagon. The team was standing at the depot, the brea having just been unloaded, when the horses, being somewhat initiated by the wind and dust, started off across the track, doing considerable damage to the wagon. After a short run they stopped of their own accord. Visitors to the editorial rooms of the Gazette yesterday were amazed at the wonderful cabbage head therein, (anathema on he who dares to pun on this). The vegetable was raised by J. S. Kirby, on his place near town and is of large proportions. There was a slight unpleasantness at the Fashion stables last evening. We did not learn who got the best of the combat. Sherry Cobblers, mint julips, port wine sungaree and other fresh coolers are in order today at the Planters' hotel, Capt. Granet's and Kirby's saloon. They are supplied with a large amount of ice for this special occasion. Mr. Stephen M. White, whose arrival we noticed yesterday, made a brief stay. His business here was to consult with Mr. Lynn in reference to the Aguilur trial, which comes up in court Wednesday next. 50 Years Ago June 1962 Mrs. Tombes cottage on Placeia ave., a short distance north of her residence was destroyed by fire on Monday evening. The place was not occupied. M. S. Davis, candidate for the Republican nomination for county school superintendent, met an old friend yesterday in the person of Mr. Spake, whom he ran across at his residence on Broadway. They were boys together in Iowa and were raised within half a mile of one another. The old friends spent a happy afternoon together. 25 Years Ago June 1927 Miss Mattie Lou Robertson and William Calvin Maxwell were married at 11 o'clock Wednesday morning last, in the parsonage of the White Temple Methodist Episcopal church by Dr. Benjamin S. Haywood. The bride is well known in this city where she has resided for 10 years. She is principal of the Central Grammar school, and is a prominent member of the faculty of the city schools. Mr. Maxwell is a member of the Long Beach junior high school faculty. Before going to Long Beach he was a member of the faculty of Premont school and is well and favorably known here. The happy couple left immediately for a honeymoon trip to Seattle. They will be absent a month and upon their return will reside on Lincoln boulevard. MOODY RIDER — However, Senator Moody, undiscouraged, adopted a new tack. In order to get a new vote he reduced the bonus from $50 to $45 a month, then demanded a roll call. This meant that every Senator would have to stand up and be counted for or against the G.I.'s. The combat bonus was passed at $45 monthly. However, in the House of Representatives the bill was killed. To make sure he got a two-thirds vote, Moody, with the support of Senator Styles Bridges, Republican, of New Hampshire, and his friends Long and Monroe, telephoned more than half the members of the Senate and got their approval. WELL, HANNIBAL MADE IT THE NOVEMBER ALPS WASHINGTON—Congress was much a hurry to pack up and the conventions that legislature was ground out in wholesale without investigation or de-Most Senators and Congress had no idea what they were going on. Senator George of Virginia introduced a complicated amendment to the excess-profits supposed to adjust the rates fabricators of strategic metals. Finitely, however, the amendment was tailormade to meet the taxes of one brass any of Bridgeport, Conn. The gravy—the big airlines just booby trapped the small ones with a bill that would put them out of business. Would have allowed the Civilian Navalities board to slap $1000 on the small, unscheduled for minor infractions of law. The new bill would have invented the courts, and saved the CAB to fine the lines. The bill was drafted by Edney, well known as the big friend on the Senate subcommittee staff. These bills were introduced last minute without a warning in the hope that they be overlooked and enacted law in the smoke and confusion of Congress' last days. Tolletts lobby — one bill didn't quite sneak through the amendment to benefit the The World Today By JAMES MARLOW WASHINGTON (AP)—One of the best labor-saving devices in the field of ideas is to settle for a single answer as the only answer to a complex problem. It has been tried in explaining General Eisenhower's victory. But there were more factors than one at work in Chicago. For example, it has been said Eisenhower's win was the triumph of the internationalist over the isolationist wing of the Republican party. Isolationism versus internationalism is certainly an element in the delegates' thinking but surely not the only one. ALTHOUGH Senator Taft denies being an isolationist, some of his support was, if the word has any meaning. Taft fought the Atlantic Pact and arms for Europe, two projects which Eisenhower not only supported and fought for but spent a year of his life in Europe trying to make work. But isolationism versus internationalism is not new: every Republican convention from 1940 on has chosen an internationalist to head the party ticket. IT HAS BEEN said flatly that Eisenhower's victory was the triumph of the younger wing of the party over the old guard. At Chicago it was. Whether it's a permanent triumph will be shown in Congress next year if the Republicans win a majority of the seats. But there were other, and im- Actors Called Upon to Risk No Only After Director Tries First By JACK QUIGG (for Bob Thomas) HOLLYWOOD, LA—"I never ask an actor to do anything I wouldn't do," says Director Budd Boetticher. Boettlicher is an exuberantly athletic young fellow with red hair, bull shoulders and bulging biceps who will do practically anything that might inspire a movie thrill. By setting the example he has been able to lure some of filmland's top leading men into risking their necks trying to imitate him. After Boettlicher tried it first, Scott Brady climbed aboard a bucking Brahma bull for the ride of his life; Anthony Quinn, who Boettlicher says suffered from claustrophobia, emoted from a diving stunt for an underwater earthquake scene; Jeff Chandler drove a truck through a raging oil and gas-o seemed to have the better chance of winning in November. The answer was important to the delegates with a stake in jobs, for a Republican sweep would carry them in, a Democrat sweep might knock them out. AND AT EVERY step the bumbling Taftites played into their hands by trying to use brute force to crush Eisenhower. And with the whole nation looking on for the first time, through TV, the delegates who weren't alienated by the Taftites were at least made self-conscious. And Bne fire: Robert Staina a bull. Boettlicher; best b "The Bullfigher and is a former football bullfighter in Mexico. Dungarces and a tee shirt set so he won't ruin his action; he says, is playing eggs. "THEY ALL HAVE say 'let's do it this way I go ahead and do it. Their pride won't let down." "An actor should that it is natural for him. It would be silly to lead man by letting top break neck down long shot. But in there is no substitute actor himself." Here is an example Boettlicher works. A scene for "Seminole of Indian fighting in ida everglades, required non and a wagon to sight in quicksand. It led by rigging a hydrant form under seven feet in a tank. The water was covered by eight ground cork, which pho like mire. As cameras ground, Ron son and James Best, t wounded and lashed to on, slowly sank beneath face. At this point many IT HAS BEEN said flatly that Eisenhower's victory was the triumph of the younger wing of the party over the old guard. At Chicago it was. Whether it's a permanent triumph will be shown in Congress next year if the Republicans win a majority of the seats. But there were other, and important, forces working in Chicago: a large chunk of personal self-interest among the delegates themselves; morality; some smart political tactics and some wretched ones; perhaps some symbolism; and faith; and hate. IT IS POSSIBLE a majority of the 1206 delegates actually preferred Taft; who has been a long-time party faithful, to Eisenhower, who is a Johnny-come-lately in Republican politics, because a majority may have felt closer to the senator's thinking than to the general's. But for many of the delegates—those holding city or state offices or looking for them this year—there was a practical problem: which, Taft or Eisenhower, Thus, the foxhole rider still had to pass the House. In the privacy of the committee, the vote went against it. However, the friends of the G.I. did not stop. They threatened to carry the fight to the floor of the House, where every Congressman would have to stand up and vote for or against the G.I.'s. This threat, plus astute leadership, finally put the combat bonus bill through. It is now a matter of law, and the extra checks to G.I.'s in the foxholes should be in the mail fairly soon. AND AT EVERY step the bumbling Taftites played into their hands by trying to use brute force to crush Eisenhower. And with the whole nation looking on for the first time, through TV, the delegates who weren't alienated by the Taftites were at least made self-conscious. And when the Taftites attacked Governor Dewey, personally on the floor and off the floor, they probably swung votes Eisenhower's way since Dewey has still quite a few friends in politics. In addition, quite a few delegates were apparently willing to take Eisenhower on faith: either because they liked his looks and manner or shared his foreign views, they believed he'd make a good president. They couldn't be voting for him because they liked his domestic views for the simple reason that he himself has admitted he doesn't know much about domestic issues. And there may have been some symbolism: delegates who felt lost and frustrated by current events may have seen in Eisenhower the great father image, the leader who so calmly had solved the monumental problem of the European war by winning and who therefore might be able to lead the nation at home into the kind of daylight they hoped for. For many years, mammoth tusks found in the Arctic regions of Russia, furnished a source of ivory.

A CROWN ON HER HEAD — Miss Universe, Blonde Armi Kuusela, 18, who represented Finland, wears crown after winning beauty pageant contest at Long Beach, Cal. On to Risk Necks or Tries First Line fire: Robert Stack fought a bull. Boetticher; best known for "The Bullfighter and the Lady," is a former football player and bullfighter in Mexico. He wears dungarees and a tee shirt on the set so he won't ruin his suits. The secret of luring actors into action; he says, is playing on their egos. "THEY ALL HAVE EGO. I say 'let's do it this way,' then I go ahead and do it. After that,' their pride won't let them back down. "An actor should do stunts that it is natural for him to do. It would be silly to risk your leading man by letting him gallop break neck down hill for a long shot. But in closeups, there is no substitute for the actor himself." Here is an example of how Boetticher works. A scene for "Seminole," a story of Indian fighting in the Florida everglades, required a cannon and a wagon to sink from right in quicksand. It was filmed by rigging a hydraulic platform under seven feet of water in a tank. The water surface was covered by eight inches of ground cork, which photographs like mire. As cameras ground, Rock Hudson and James Best, the latter rounded and lashed to the wagana, slowly sank beneath the surface. At this point many directors by rigging a hydraulic platform under seven feet of water in a tank. The water surface was covered by eight inches of ground cork, which photographs like mire. As cameras ground, Rock Hudson and James Best, the latter bounded and lashed to the wagga, slowly sank beneath the surface. At this point many directors would have yelled "cut," and rested if the players before the next phase, the rescue. Boetticher kept the cameras rolling. Working in the black water, with theatching platform threatening to overturn the cannon on him, Hudson freed Best. After 45 seconds, Hudson broke to the surface. Best in his arms. Before trying the scene, Boettlicher sputtered through the acorn himself. Fearing a possibly dangerous hitch he had a professional diver underwater during actual filming. Working underwater was noVelity for Boettlicher. He directed portions of "City Beneath Sea" from a diving suit. For Conceo Buster," after test riding Judy's bull, he spent a day baiting it so it would charge him on night. Then, standing near a camera and waving a bullfighter's hoe, he flagged it into charge her charge. His purpose: a seup of a charging bull. Boettlicher believes there should at least one slam bang action sequence in each film. He is always out to top the last one; fears that if he doesn't keep going, his high shots will become docre. Coming up on his schedule is another bullfighting movie, to be photographed in Spain.
