FOUR A THE MONTGOMERY 'ADVERTISER SATURDAY, DECEMBER 1. 1956 ill vfssr wsun -ev them with our infallible forecast of the Auburn-Alabama game. It will be remembered that in years past our comprehensive analysis of all factors including barometric pressure, gravitational pull, curvature of the earth at Legion Held, un spot activity, etc. has unerringly pointed to the winner. It Is for that precise reason that we are regretfully omitting the service this year.

Sports writers and college officials have complained that our too-re il 4 1 Good Thing We Have That Key! Matter Of Fact By Joseph And Stewart Alsop The Lyons Den By Leonard Lyora JACK GARFEIN, director of Girls Of Summer, went to the Longacre Theater to study the performances. In the lobby he met a man he'd last when they were both in a Displaced Frrsons camp In Germany. The man asked how he fat, and Garfein raid. "I feel awfuL The notices on the show were disappointing" "So you feel awful?" said the man. "Jack, you're only 26.

You survived Auchswits and the other concentration camps in Germany. Eleven years ago you were in a DP camp. Today you've directed Shelley Winters In a Broadway show. You're married to Carroll Baker, who is in Giant who plays the title role in the new movie, Baby Doll, in a few weeks you'll be a father. In a few weeks the movie you directed.

End As A Man, will be ready for release. AH this, in the 11 years since you were in a DP camn. And you feel "I've changed my mind," Garfein assured him. "You've just made me realize I feel great." "I'VE, traveled from riots in Hong Kong, Singapore, Rome, Paris and now I'm down here near the Hungarian border looking at one of the most terrifying riots of all," writes James Michen-er. "I was in the jungles around Angkor Wat one morning at 4, and suddenly thought 'Tomorrow's my wedding anniversary.

If I catch a plane right away I can be in Rome to celebrate. I'm probably the only man on record who inspected Angkor one day and Roman Forum the next civilization's two mo.t moving monuments. "I'm certainly the only recent traveler who has blown into Rome's swank Flora in duck pants, sweat shirt and no luggage. I told them that the airline promised to collect my luggage for me and fly it to Rome two days later. When they asked me what I would do In the meantime I told them I hadn't seen my wife for three months so for two days it wouldn't matter." A FEW days ago Lord Iliffe, G.B.E., and his wife arrived from England on the Queen Elizabeth.

They had at least 40 pieces of luggage. Despite the dock strike and the absence of any luggage-bearers to help disembarking passengers, the Iliffes' 40 pieces of luggage were quickly brought to their quarters at the Hotel Ambassador. "No problem at all," Lord Iliffe explained. "Friends knew were coming, and came to the pier to help." A LEX LEWYT owns one of the finest private art collections in New York. It includes a Picasso, Renoir, Gauguin, Cezanne, Toulouse-Lautrec, Manet, etc.

Lewyt was asked about the start of his collection the subject of his first picture, and its cost. "My first subject." he said, "was Babe Ruth. It cost me five Jelly beans for the card." MAURICE EVANS, who plays King Magnus in G. B. Shaw's The Apple Cart, was visited by Noel Coward who played the same role in a London production a few years ago.

"During rehearsals," said Coward, "we ran into a bit of trouble." He and Margaret Leighton were rehearsing the boudoir scene rather strenuously, he said, and Coward suffered a strained back. During the entire run, therefore, he had to wear corsets and plasters. "I suppose," Coward added, "that's why the critics said my King Magnus was so regal." QASKIE STINNETT, author of the new book, Will Not Run Feb. 22, lunched with LouLs Untermeyer, the poet, and Jerome Lawrence, co-author of Aunti Mame and Inherit The Wind. When they parted Untermeyer told Stinnett ha couldn't wish him luck on the book, since every copy sold would lessen the market for his, own books.

"I can wish you luck either," said Lawrence, "Every copy you sell takes money from people who otherwise might buy theater tickets." fJHICO MARX will play the role of a monk in the movie, The Story Of Mankind England's BBC bought the Under The Sun collection of top Omnibus features, with William Saroyan in the Allstalr Cooke role Tom Del Vecchio, the Idlewild Airport reporter, will have his first book, Tom Paine: American, published Dec. 14, complete with the mlspelllng of the author's name O'Neill's Long Day's Journey Into Night may prove to be his biggest money-maker. The backers will be paid off in six weeks. WHEN Jean Cocteau's play, The Eagle Has Two Heads, opens at the Actors Playhouse, it will offer midnight performances every Friday Warner concerned about the trend towards three and four-hour films, had a survey made on Giant. It showed that 10 of the audience was seeing the movie for the second time The U.N.

Security Council will attend a special preview of Night Of The Auk, the play about the first visitors to the moon who are stranded there by the outbreak of an atomic war on earth.

Question may be sent to him at 7003 HUlcrest Place, Chevy Chase, MdJ WASHINGTON.

TRS. JAMES L. R. of Lansing, Mich, wants information about reports that President Eisenhower, as head of the Allied Forces at the time cf Germany's surrender, was responsible for the territorial concessions to Russia that have given her control of Eastern Europe and a portion of the Balkans. She refers to a letter sent to the White House by G.

B. Palmer of Greenbush, Va which declares that the concessions "were not the first in the inane foreign policy for which you claim credit." ANSWER: President Elsenhower Is deeply irritated at the frequent reiteration of the charge that he sold the Allies down a Red river in the postwar settlement terms. He has a right to be, for he had no part or responsibility in the deal. AN ALLIED POLITICAL AGREEMENT The agreement was arranged by the Allied Advisory Commission at London when it became obvious that victory was assured, and the American member was the late John G. Winant of New Hampshire, who subsequently committed suicide.

FDR and Churchill, then prime minister, approved it, apparently believing in Stalin's promises of postwar friendship with the West. Nobody was more surprised than Ike, especially when the Allied statesmen did not have the foresight to provide for a safe and uninterrupted corridor from the Anglo-American zones in West Germany to Berlin. According to Gen. Omar Bradley, Ike's aide with whom I have discussed the question, the two of them were "flabbergasted" at the blunder. Only explanation I have ever seen is that Russia could have grabbed this territory, anyway.

"Why all this fuss about increasing cur bomber squadrons?" asks A. B. of Greencastle, Pa. "And how can Gen. Gruenther now threaten to 'destroy' Russia, if it attacks? Wouldn't an enemy country have nlkes and talons that would forestall any bomber attack? ANSWER: Gen.

Gruenther concedes that existing NATO forces could not pre vent Russian troops from overrunning a large part of Western Europe. He was referring to the threat of our massive retaliatory power, including possibly A and bombs, for which we must have heavy bombers. It would be their as signment to destroy vital Red communi cations and supply systems for her ad vancing force, as well as mobilization and munitions centers. FAR-FLUNG BASES Of course, the Russians have nikes and talons, or their equivalent anti-aircraft weapons. But the late Gen.

Hoyt Vandenbere. then head of our Air Force, testified that pos- siojy 75 or an invading aerial force could get past our anti-aircraft screen and fighter planes. We doubt whether Russia's vast extent of land is as well protected as ls the United States, and. therefore, vulnerable to what Gruenther calls "destruction." It must also be keDt In mind that, with bases extending from Britain and France to Asia Minor, the Russians will be bombarded from many different and far-flung places. Our strategists believe that it would be difficult for the Reds to knock down so many attacks from so many different quarters.

GOP'S PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE IN I960? "I know this is a nremature question," writes G. H. of Richmond, Va. "But if you had to pick the Republicans' 1960 presidential candidate, who would be your selection?" ANSWER: Vice President Nixon, of course, ls given the Inside track now, although, he may face Callfornian oddo- sition from Sen. William F.

Knowland. If they cannot make it. I like the chances of Henry Cabot Lodge Jr. of Massachusetts, who has done such an excellent Job at the United Nations. (Released by MeClura Newspaper Syndicate) Alabama Editors Are Saying Editor In Minnesota Editor Rubye M.

Garner In The Union Springs Herald QROVER HALL of The Advertiser re- cently traveled to the far Midwestern city of Minneapolis where he not only got caught in one of those cold snaps which last about nine months, but he was shocked by the fact that the ladies wore snoods and were not style conscious and the men never smiled. We lived in Milwaukee as a transplanted Southerner for several years. Although Milwaukee is considered the Deep South by Minnesotans, It is close enough to give one an understanding of the folk ways in that section. Women do not buy stylish winter hats In Minneapolis because if they wore them their ears would drop off. They would look even funnier without ears, so they wrap scarves around their heads.

When it gets that cold you go Into a store to purchase an all-wool piece of material and you don't give a flip whether it is cut along the latest lines. When you purchase a piece of all-wool material cut along stylish lines it is expensive, and it is so hard to get money to pay the fuel bill over the long winters that, you must economize somewhere, so you do it the only way you can by cutting down on the style. A friend of mine in Milwaukee made a quick trip to Miami through the country in his car. He went down there and back in a week by driving 85 and 90 rnlles an hour. When he returned, he had all our Southern problems, both economically and racial, solved.

His misunderstanding of the situation was so dreadfully mixed up that I didnt argue with him. I told him that he was a genius because the smartest men and women In the South had been working on those problems for a hundred years and he had come up with a solution in a week while he was rolling along SO miles an hour! Actually, Editor, you won't believe this, but the average Midwesterner has many fine traits. When those women take off the snoods, the heavy underwear and galoshes, they are actually good cooks! They can't cook regetables like a Southern gal, but they do all right with meat and potatoes. Maybe you better go back and live among those people a little longer. er We TU wcmuouca smfcrmKB Kftetehe4 U-( tctere Lb Peat Offtca ai Moai-er.

TEUPHOWEB AH Pwrinioii athrr than want Ada. 10 oo a Daily i.V ror Want Ada B.39 entU 4 pmf Sunday Boara lam to Por otner deportmeota after 10 3 a- to a m. aad ail day Swaday Oportaent Clrtulaiton 77t isb Colored ee Bareaa (AU B0UM BserU Department The riot Thickens There cornea a time In a city this lze when you give up trying to find a parking place In walking distance of your office, and you make a by-the-month deal with a parking lot, unhappily coughing up this unaccustomed demand on your purse. Pretty aoon the parking lot swarming and the attendant have to park the car closely together as the paint will permit. So Incessantly does the attendant have to back your buggy in and out during the day to open a path for a departing car that you don't know whether you or he puts the most mileage on the car, only that the gas consumption increase a hidden cost of parking.

And if you leave at ft p.m., you find that you get caught In the 5 o'clock parking lot Jam the same as on the atreets and that the cars are so sandwiched together if hard to get in and out. Whereupon you find yourself muttering that what Is needed Ls another park-. ing lot for the parking lot. But meanwhile, if the parking lot went out of business, you would demand a congressional investigation of a violation of your -rights." One need not be an old goat to remember a Montgomery when a man had a reasonable expectancy of finding a parking place in front of his place of business, or milady in front of the tore in which ahe proposed to shop (If not. Officer "Smitty" was known to hold the car while a lady went in a dime store to get some hairpins).

The growth of the city, the expanding prosperity of the masses and the astonishing Increase in cars have brought us to the present state. But what docs the future embosom for Montgomery, with the city atlll growing, the prosperous getting more prosperous and Detroit sending ever larger fleets of autoa for aale? At the very least we will, as other dtlea everywhere, be looking back to the present conditions, congested as they are, as the good old days of free America when a man could drive downtown for any reason or no reason and expect to find a parking lot vacancy. The circumstance at work all over the country is a great increase in cars and a remarkable exertion in feverish construction of freeways and highways all to make it easier for motorists to drive into town and congest the congested. Bus company propaganda broadsides relate that oa the streets of the 200 major cities (which includes Montgomery) there are 5,000,000 cars; that If 40,000,000 car have choked city streets to the present degree, think of tne circumstance If the estimates materialize in a few years and there art 30,000,000 cars. Building each year's cars with longer tails and souping them up with more and more horsepower will da very little to ease the situation.

There have been experiments with barring cars downtown at certain hours, leaving transportation to the buses and commuter trains. But what has been done so far is on an aspirin tablet basis. The problem has come almost at a bound and Ls one that can be mastered only with large acale planning and action. Our hunch is that the solution mill not be hard to find as it will be to summon the decisiveness, energy and forehandedncss necessary to actuate the solution. Youre On Your Own Several thousand subscribers have demanded this week that we provide vealing preview sharply reduced inter est in the game, resulting in an economic detriment to the schools and a reduc tion in sport page readership following the annual "classic." There Ls a moral in this, one stated often before: it doesn't pay to be too right.

'58 Gubernatorial Race rHE form of the 1858 race for governor Ls distinguishable, but at this point the candidates are faceless. The form of the race will find all the contenders (1) disavowing Folsom and (2) pledging unyielding resistance to race mixing. Those two positions will be taken as routinely as the candidates file their qualification papers with the secretary of state. Although the candidates will thus cancel each other out to some extent in these two areas, there will be approaches in their spiels and variable success in getting through to Alabama voters. And all the while, there will be a public renunciation of about 000 Negro votes and a secret hope that they will silently choose him.

But whatever the candidate does here will be taken in combination with other campaign promises and the image of himself imparted to the people. Of those mentioned as candidates, many will not qualify and some un- mentloned will. The two who seem most certain to run on the basis of visible signs are former Gov. Gordon Persons and Jimmy Faulkner, runner-up to in the '54 race. In a sense, Persons is tied to Ike.

Like the President, he had a coronary thrombosis during his term and walked away from it. Ike ran, was overpoweringly reelected and looks like a million. If Ike is still going strong in '58, Persons will say, "Gordon Persons keeps his health," like Ike. Should the President falter, however, that would embarrass Persons' fitness claim and he would have to talk about the difference In their ages. Another problem Persons had to deal with is his inaugural speech covenant, pronounced without a hedge, that he would never again seek any office.

However, our hunch is that if people want to vote for him, this promise will not hinder. Faulkner and the others will, if Persons proves formidable, tell the tale of the monkey business in the Persons Administration. Sometimes monkey business injures a former governor, sometimes it does not. If the voters want to find a way to excuse it, be certain they will. Faulkner has one particular advantage that must surely make him at least a factor in the race his name, statewide through his prodigious Talkathon effort in '54.

If we knew any more about the race than the above, we would tell It, though we know of no reason to suppose that there ls any public interest at this time. 'Fashions Here And There' The Minneapolis Morning Tribune has written a deft editorial on Montgomery and with equal deftness, captioned it, -Fashions Here And "The people of Minneapolis lack style. In five days we have not seen a modishly dressed woman nor a distinguished looking man The men are indistinct and all look alike The women are no better groomed in the sunshine than in the snow. In either case they are draped in snoods of dusty, dismal pastel shades and wool coats that are undesigned" From an article in The Montgomery TAIa.l Advertiser written by the editor of that paper after a visit to Minneapolis. MONTGOMERY, Ala.

(UP)-Scores of robed Ku Klux Klansmen strolled openly through this race-conscious city Saturday, drawing surprised stares but-little else from shoppers crowding downtown streets From a news dispatch in the Minneapolis Sunday Tribune. Earlier (Nov. 15) the Tribune carried another editorial that was deft, and sound to boot. This earlier editorial applauded the court decision against bus segregation, but soberly and candidly concluded with these observations: In Minneapolis we do not have segregated schools or buses. The right to voie is freely exercised We have gone a long way toward ending Job discrimination based on race.

Yet la the field of housing, we still many ingrained prejudices. Here the Negro often breaks through the walls of segregation only with the greatest difficulty. The pattern of discrimination may not be as rigid as many patterns in the South: but it exists and is clearly recognizable. So wm.e we cheer the court's bus decision, let us iso look around for opportunities to set our own house in order. They should not prove difficult to find.

Fashions here and there." ingly downgraded. During this period, policy was being made entirely by the President, under Secretary of State Herbert Hoover and a handful of high administration appointees. This phase culminated last week when the United States Joined the Soviet Union in demanding at the UJf. that Britain and France evacuate Egypt "forthwith." At this point, British Foreign Minister Selwyn Lloyd communicated to the British government his doubts that the Anfrlo-American alliance could any longer be considered valid. Within the last few days, however, the voices of the professional foreign policy specialists, at the second level of government, who have been dubious all along about the direction of American policy, have begun to be heard, and certain hard facts have begun to be faced.

There Ls, for exampl2, the hard fact that failure to make up the oil deficit would leave, not only Britain and France, but all Western Europe and ultimately the United States too, stewing in their own Juice. T7XPERT studies have shown that the prospective oil shortage would create a desperate economic depression in Western Europe, with 4,000,000 or more unemployed. This would mean pouring the vast American investment In European recovery down the drain. Moreover, it could have disastrous political consequences in Europe. It would more than restore all the ground the European communist parties have lost as a result of the Hungarian revolt.

It could even bring in a strongly anti-American government in Britain, thus denying to our Strategic Air Force the British bases on which SAC is crucially dependent. This third phase of sober second thought, In short, has served to remind the American government that the Western Alliance is as important to the United States as to Europe. Hence the convulsive last minute effort to repair the enormous damage which the alliance has suffered. But the question remains whether the damage can really now be repaired at all. For without the strategic area and the resources of the Middle East the Western Alliance is not worth very much.

And Egypt's Col. Nasser, who looks like emerging from his military defeat with an enormous political victory, wants Just what the Soviets want to eliminate all Western power in the Middle East, Including American power. In sum, the sober second thoughts may have come too late. Probe Funds Quarterly between $200,000 and $300,000 between Jan. 3, 1955, and June 30, 1956.

In the House, the Appropriations Committee was authorized $1,000,000 for its investigations in fiscal 1956-57. The Government Operations Committee was granted $995,000, then came the Un-American Activities Committee. Government Operations was the most prodigal spender. It used up $621,768 of its authorization in the first 18 months. Runners-up in the spending derby were Appropriations Un-American Activities Small Business ($210,912) and Judiciary Joint committees are not required to report their spending and were not included in the tally of authorizations.

However, five joint committees with essentially investigative functions were authorized to spend $906,049 by the 84th Congress. The money was allotted for all committee expenses for fiscal 1956 and 1957. A sixth Joint committee, Atomic Enargy, was granted $480,835 'or all its expenses during the two fiscal years. This committee handles legislation as well as investigative work, and no breakdown is available on what portion of its funds went for investigations. 'PHE most prominent Investigations conducted during the second session of the 84th Congress were those connected with an alleged attempt to influence the vote of Sen.

Francis Case (R-SD) on the natural gas bllL A select committee headed by Sen. Walter F. George (D-Ga) first Investigated the charge. Subsequently, a special committee headed by Sen. John L.

McClellan (D-Ark) was set up to conduct a wide-ranging probe of corrupt practices in Congress and the executive branch. This committee, too, confined its study almost entirely to the gas bill. Other favorite subjects for probes In 1956, as in 1955, were communism and subversion, military programs and business. Since it was an election year, campaign financing and spending also were scrutinized by congressional probers. No 1958 investigations caught the public interest to the extent of the Army-McCarthy hearings in 1954 or the Ke-fauver crime investigation of 1951.

And, as always, much of the probe money financed myriad studies by committee staff members. Most such studies led neither to hearings nor headlines. Coprrlfht, ms, CcniraulooaJ puanerlr) WARTrrNr.TOTT A CONVULSIVE effort to glue the shat-tered Western Alliance together again, an4 to repair some of the terrible damage done to the whole Western position by the- Middle East crisis, is now on In Washington. The modt Important part of this effort ls a yet unannounced but nevertheless firm I administration decision to make up tie desperate-prospective West European il shortage, caused by the closing of the Suez Canal. Official estimates place the likely cost to the U-S.

Treasury at over a billion dollars. There was even some consideration given to calling; a special session of Congress to get the money but it has since been decide that available funds are enough to tide things over until the regular sessfcn. The Idea of a special session was of. course, to put it mildly, distasteful 1a the administration, for obvious political reasons. And It was also feared that a special session would dramatize tb issue, and thus infuriate the Arabs, perhaps leading to the cutting of the, oil pipelines: from Saudi Arabia.

For such reasons, the decision to see Western Eurdpe through the oil crisis has not been announced with the usual blare of trumpets. But quiet assurances that the problem will be handled in one way or another have been conveyed to the Europe art. The effort to glue things together again has talcen other forms as well, like President' Eisenhower's strong statement reaffirming support for the Western Alliance, and the decision to send Secretary Dulles off to the NATO meeting in Paris, less, than five weeks after his cancer operation. 4 pHE official American reaction to the Middle Eastern crisis has gone through three phases. The first phase was simply in this initial phase, there was much talk of "letting the British and Franch stew In their own Juice." One very high administration policy-making official was widely quoted as saying that 'it was now American policy to "write off Britain and France." President Elsenhower was personally In large part responsible for phase two.

He rebuked his furious- subordinates, and emphasized the importance of the Western Alliance, At the same time, he initiated the policy of putting- the main emphasis of American policy on working through the United Nations, and the Western Alltacnce was correspond New High In Congressi'ona THE 84th Ccngnfca was the "investl-gatingest" Congress in history, if money is a valid yardstick. And these expenditures are espected to continue rising. In its two-year spin the 84th set aside a record $11.3 million Sot congressional investigations, compared to the previous record of held the 83rd Congress. Senate committees were authorized tio spend $6,289,005 in new money, plus $522,644 I Wiiniiui I in carryover funds -r money authorized but unspent by tlie 83rd Congress. House committees we given $4,510,199, all in new money.

A good share of this money just how much Is undetermined went to Investigate communist activity in the United States. The House Un-American Activities Committee was granted $500,000 for its 84th Congress probos, the fifth highest amount granted -any committee. And on the Senate side, the Judiciary Committee whose Internal Security Subcommittee is in many respects the counterpart of the Un-iAmerlcan Activities Committee receive! the largest authorization in the 84th (Congress, In new money, plus $136,464 in Carryover funds. i Senate and House committees are required to report their probe spending semi-annually. Accorng to a Congressional Quarterly study of these reports, the 84th Congressi spent $5,271,491, about 45.5, of its Instigation funds in its first 18 months.

Eighteen Senate committees reported speeding 21 House committees, $3,121,362. A final spending tally for the entire Congress will not be available until 1957, but not all money authorized for probes will be spent. Committees of the 83rd Congress, for Instance, rpent only 65 of the funds available ta them. If the 84th spends at the same tate, total probe spending for 1955-56 wSl reach about $7,400,000. 1 HHHE Senate Judiciary Committee, in addition to receiving largest probe authorization In the 84tht Congress, also reported the greatest sending, almost $1,200,000 prior to June 3u.

Other high spenders 3a the Senate side were the Banking land Currency. Government Operations. Interior and Insular Affairs, Interstate and Foreign Commerce and Labor ami Public Welfare Committees. All reported spending I tension and get more out of life. i.
