THfc DTI .T O N FYAMTNFR War Unlikely »THE FINAL DECISION as to how the Russo-Chinese alliance will go toward all-out world war will de pend largely on one factor—how many atomic bombs we have, com pared with tHe number Russia has. The preponderance of atomic weapons in our favor continues to be the most reassuring thing in the otherwise unhappy international pic ture. For definite information has been obtained that Russia has been able to manufacture only 24 atomic bombs and is making them only at the rate of two per month. On the other hand, the American atomic stockpile, while a secret, is vastly greater. Furthermore our rate of production is much faster. This superiority of atomic strength has been the main factor deterring the Soviet from world war up to now, and the chances are it will continue to be a deterrent in the future. It is also why the Rus sians have adopted the policy of wearing down American resources by wars of attrition in which satel lite nations, not the Red army, do the fighting. In brief, it is likely that the Kremlin will not risk a major war in which Russian troops must do battle and In which Russian cities are exposed—nn- til there is a better balance be tween our atomic stockpile and Moscow’s. Guarding the President Until the recent attempt on his life, President Truman had given little thought to his personal safety He once told my assistant, Fred Blumenthal, that he had figured out what he would do if an assassin came into the room. Most assassins, he said, would expect the presi dent to get under the desk, but he was planning to reverse things and attack the attacker—just as An drew Jackson did when attacked in the halls of congress . . . When last week’s shooting started, Mrs. Tru man rushed into the president’s bedroom where he was napping, to tell him a secret service man was lying wounded on the street. Actu ally she mistook assassin Collazo for a plain-clothes man . . . One secret service man was in front of Blair House at the time of the shooting, the others were in the rear eating lunch. The White House police, which bore the brunt of the attack, are under the secret serv ice . . . The secret service have been under some criticism in recent years for having become partially political. Maj. Gen. Harry Vaughan intervened in the early days of the Truman administration, fired Mike Reilly, who operated under Roose velt, and gave the impression he wanted to run the service. This would not have been tolerated in the old days of Chief William Moran . . . Later, during the senate five- percenter probe, Reilly was hastily rehired and given a 10,000 job in \ the interior department. (He knew j too much about how the secret serv ice gave a special pass to Vaughan’s friend, John Maragon, and about other political wire-pulling.) . . . Despite occasional politics, however, the secret service does a good job. Problem for U.N. The North Korean-Manchurian area is an ideal one for United Na tions cooperation—if Moscow would permit it. Reason is that the Japs, which once controlled both Korea and Manchuria, developed power and industry regardless of interna tional boundaries, just as Grand Coulee and Bonneville dams serve several states, regardless of state boundaries . .' . Seven major dams are reported on the Yalu river be tween Manchuria and North Korea. The Suiho dam, one of the largest in the world, is 328 feet high, 2,788 feet long, has a reservoir 40 miles long and delivers 700,000 kilowatts of power . . . Another dam, Mam- poshin, delivers 234,000 kw. The to tal system, when completed, will produce 2,000,000 kilowatts and will operate industries as far south as Port Arthur at the southernmost tip of Manchuria . . . Two other reservoirs are south of the Yalu river, wholly in North Korean ter ritory, and about 20 miles north of the present U. N. front. It was about the time U. N. troops ap proached these reservoirs that Chi nese troops crossed the border . . . The only possible way these power projects can be operated is under some form of United Nations con trol, since they are located in and supply power to two countries. This is a ticklish situation and one that the U. N. has to be doubly careful about in the solution to prevent war. Behind the Iron Curtain- RED ARMY CHIEFS MEET— The American legation reports that a mysterious meeting of eastern European Communist bosses is now going on at the Russian resort town of Sochi in the Crimea. This is Prime Minister Stalin’s favorite hideaway and it's believed he may be present. A number of Polish and Rumanian generals are known to be present and American diplomats be lieve the subject being discussed is how to bring greater coordination between the satellite armies. P E A N O F OPERETTA Romberg Has Composed Over Seventy Operettas and Musicals Sigmund Romberg, whose life story soon will be shown on the world’ s movie screens, is the kind of man who makes “ highbrows’ unhappy. He insists he is a “ middle brow* composer and that he is happy be ing just that. For a man who bears the impressive label of Dean of American operetta, it is a startling admission. “ Most Americans have middle brow tastes in music. What’s wrong with that?\ he says in support of his statement that he’d rather write melodies with a sentiment and tune that people can remember and whistle than heroic arias that al most no one can sing without weeks of hectic practice. Since Romberg exiled himself to America 43 years ago to escape his parents’ determination to make a bridge builder out of him, he is quite content to have the same tastes as most of the rest of the people in the United States. “Besides,\ he asks, \what high brow achieves enough importance during his own life to merit a Hoi- ¡ E 3 S C R E I By INEZ GERHARD Irene Dunne handled the difficult Impersonation of Queen Victoria in “ The Mudlark\ so satisfactorily that the picture was chosen for a command performance in London. But wait till you see what happens to her in RKO’s \Never a Dull Moment\. She falls into a haystack, sets a stove on fire and tries to cook a cougar, all incidents gleaned IRENE DUNNE from the life of Kay Swift, on whose book the picture is based. However, she needed no elaborate make-up. For “ The Mudlark” she said, “ They covered my face with strips of plastic lastex so I doubt whether my own daughter would recognize m e\. And made her a heavy-set woman with several dou ble chins! Samuel Goldwyn will come up with a re-make of “The Winning of Barbara Worth” , remembered as the picture which launched Gary Cooper’s career, in 1926. This time Dana Andrews gets the starring role. And it will be produced in semi-documentary style, since it deals with the trials of desert re clamation in the west. But the love story won’t be ignored. Gov. Dan E. Garvey of Arizona has agreed to appear in a walk-on role in Pine,and Thomas’ “ The Last Outpost\ being filmed near Tucson. It has not yet been decided whether the governor will portray a Yankee or a Confederate soldier. In either case, he will be given the grade of corporal. Ronald Reagan, Rhonda Fleming and Noah Beery, Jr., head the cast. AoWw*#». 'Ih* Sigmund Romberg, dean of Ameri can operetta, who ha* composed more than 70 state and aereen op erettas and musicals.

But instead, he has turned out more than 70 stage and screen operettas and musicals, among them standards like “ May- time,” “ Student Prince” and the “ Desert Song,” one or the other of which is still touring somewhere at almost any time. He has writ ten a magnificent total of 2,000 songs like “ Lover, Come Back to Me.\ And he isn’t finished yet! \There is lots more music to be written—lots of it in me—and I am writing it,” he explains. Right now, he is composing an other musical which he expects to have on Broadway this winter. Some composers compose their songs on a piano, some in their head. Romberg composes most of his music on a Hammond organ, so that he can get the effect of the entire orchestra as he tests a mel ody on the Hammond. He used to do it on a pipe organ, sitting in sol itary majesty before the gigantic instrument. When the Hammond organ was invented, he got one of the first made. Since then he has been using it to turn out the kind of music that fits in with Ameri ca’ s heart beat. IT WAS IN VIENNA that he got his first formal music education. Finishing his schooling in Vienna, he had to serve his term in the army. When that was finished, the crisis came. His father, though very musical himself, was deter mined his son was going to be an engineer and build bridges. The peace maker in the dispute that arose was his mother who sug gested that he spend a year in America before making a decis-on. America had a lot of fine bridges, she figured, and maybe her son would learn to love bridges over rivers more than musical bridges. It didn’t work. Romberg came to the United States, went to work packing pencils in a pencil factory for a brief period and then got a ;ob as a pianist in a restaurant he had stopped at to satisfy his craving for Hungarian goulash. That was the beginning. The next steps in his career came in rapid succession. He organized his own orchestra, played at a fashionable New York restaurant and began composing in earnest. He never got around to thinking of the bridges again. Let the high brows build the bridges, he decided. Instead, he wrote enough music to make him probably the most pro lific of the big-time composers in the theater. FDZZIE LAST WOK* ANSWfit J l 4 . Narrates 5. Music not* 6. Acknowl edged 7.

Wilkinson HE Whitney’s living room faced on a court. Across the court were the windows of another apart ment. Occasionally Paul Whitney, relaxed on his couch, could see people moving around there. After day or two he decided that the occupants were a young, childless couple who spent a good deal of time at home. “ I’d l i k e to get to know them,\ Paul confided to his wife. Mrs. Whitney sighed. “ I would, too. We’ve been here a month now and haven’t met a soul. Do you sup pose I ought to go over and call?\ Paul shook his head doubtfully. I wouldn’t—not without some good excuse. You know how apartment dwellers are. They might think we were imposing.\ He glanced across the court. “ They have a much bet ter apartment than ours.” “ Better?\ “ Why, it’s obviously their living room we can look into and, if you’ll notice, there are windows on both sides.” Mrs. Whitney followed her husband’s gaze. Without effort she could look Into their neigh bors’ living room and see the window on the wall opposite. “ That’s so,\ she admitted. Mrs. Whitney went into the kitch en and Paul rose and strolled icily toward the window of his own liv ing room. On the chance of being observed, he pretended to examine potted plant on the sill. Surreptitiously he glanced across the court, and was shocked to see the head and shoulders of a man framed in the window on the far side of their neighbors’ living room. He called his wife, and, standing well back so as not to be observed, they peered across the court. But BROADWAY AND MAIN STREET Wise Boys Learn Impossible Sometimes Can Happen By BILLY ROSE Last night at Lindy’s a bunch of us were discussing what, for want of a better term, I’ll call the inevitability of the impossible. “ The most improbable yarn 1 ever heard,” said Deems Taylor, “ is the one about a missionary named Renault who was captured in 1948 by a tribe of cannibals In French Equatorial Africa. \According to a report in the Hies out at the U.N., just as they were about to roast him over a fire, shish-kebob style, t h e mis sionary fell to his knees and asked the Lord to have mercy on his ser vant, Renault. And when the canni bal chief heard the name, he un tied him and told him to go about his business. \No it wasn’t the prayer that did the trick—it seems that six months before, they bad cooked and eaten another gent named Renault and he had turned out to be tough and tasteless.\ “ I KNOW AN equally implausible story,” I piped up. “ The one about the clerk in Tacoma, Washington, who was handed five thousand dol lars to buy insurance for a bridge that was under construction. The fellow had never stolen a nickel in his life, but this was one tempta tion he couldn’t stand off—what in tfc* name at tbs five Ringling Brotb- Billy Bose ers could happen to a bridge? \Suiting misdeed to thought, the clerk went to Reno and blew in the whole five grand on a couple of gals, and then, the night before he was due to start back, the Mayor of Tacoma phoned and wanted to know about the insurance. It seemed that the bridge— the famous Galloping Gertie of the news reels—bad come apart at the seams and fallen into the gorge.\ • * » “ THE BELIEVE-IT-OR-NOT that tops them all is the one about Charles Coghlan,” said Eugene Burr who writes the theatre pieces for Playbill. \Charles who?\ 1 asked. \Coghlan said Burr, “ the actor who used to play opposite Lily Langtry back in the last century. When he was 50, he bought himself a farm on Prince Edward Island in the Gulf of St. Lawrence and quit the stage for what he thought was good. A few years later, however, Forbes-Robertson made him a very attractive offer to play Mercutio in a touring production of 'Romeo and Juliet,’ and while Coghlan hated to leave the island, he couldn’t afford to turn the offer down. In one season he’d earn enough to be able to live comfortably the rest of his life. “ When his neighbors came down to the boat to see him off, the actor assured them that, come heaven or high water, he’d return when his tour was ended. And he did—but it took both heaven and high water, and in that order, to arrange it. \Heaven got into the act shortly after the tour started — in Galveston he suffered a heart attack and died, and was buried in a cemetery not far from the - sea. The high water came a year later, September 8, 1900, when a tidal wave hit Galveston, drowned six thousand people and washed away a good part of the waterfront, including most of the coffins in the ceme tery. “ Some months after the disaster, 3 fisherman on Prince Edward Is- ter,3 went down to the beach one morning to inspect his nets, and found a coffin which had washed up on the sands. “ On it was a brass plate with the name ‘Charles Coghlan’—the actor, with an assist from the Gulf Stream, had made good his promise to re turn.” “ You’re someone?” positive you saw Mrs. Whitney asked. the figure in the window on the far side and vanished. “ You’re positive you saw some one?” Mrs. Whitney asked. “ Positive!” Paul a f f i r m e d . \Ought we to notify the police?\ \I wouldn’t. Whoever it is is gone, and perhaps the police wouldn’t believe us. We’d appear ridiculous.\ mWO evenings later Paul again saw the peeping Tom. He was standing in the same position, and sight of the man at the window of their neighbor’s apartment gave him the same unexpected shock. \I’m going to do something about it. Sooner or later the chap will conjure enough courage to break his way in,” Paul said. \Let’s go over there and warn the people, tell them what we saw and then let them do as they like about it.” She hesitated. “ Perhaps we can strike up an acquaintance.\ »PHEY CROSSED to the neighbor- ing apartment and knocked. A pleasant-faced woman opened the door. “ Are you Mrs. Phelps?\ Mrs. Whitney asked. The woman nodded and Mrs. Whitney said: \We’re Mr. and Mrs. Whitney from across the court. We—\ “ Come right in! Frank and I were thinking of calling on you.” The Whitneys entered and were greeted cordially by Mr. Phelps. “ I’m afraid,” said Paul, \that we came on rather an unpleasant mis sion.” And he explained what they had seen. Mr. Phelps looked puzzled. \There’s something wrong here. Would you mind stepping into the living room?” They fol lowed him in and be pointed toward the far wall. “ Yon see we have no windows on that wail. He broke off as Mrs. Whitney gasped. “ Why, it wasn’t a window at all! It was that mirror! You see, it hangs where a window might be, and faces our apartment. Paul Whitney, it was your own reflection you saw! Standing near the flower pot, you saw yourself In the mirror, and it appeared that some one else was peering in at the Phelpses!\ Paul's jaw dropped. He swal lowed, grinned and looked sheepish. But the Phelpses thought it was a grand joke, and urged their new neighbors to spend the evening. H a n d s o m e D a y t i m e F r a c !

Their average gain ranges in the neighborhood of forty pounds per month. Since Calumet is not equipped to fatten cattle for the market, man ager J. P. EJrbnelhardt has keyed his cattle program to the eight- month grazing period. \We find,\ he says, “ our net profit amounts to as much in this shorter period of time as if we had carried them on a feeding program for 12 months.” Ebelhardt and his staff of help ers also prefer herefords \because they seem a quieter type of cattle and handle well in moving from pasture to pasture.\ Fanners Use Larger Part Of Income for Fertilizer Farmers spend a larger propor tion of their income for fertilizer than they did before the war, a recent survey revealed. The aver age amount used, however, may still be no more than half the amount that could be used econo mically. A fairly general standard is that a farm should be using the equi valent of 100 to 200 pounds of single strength fertilizer per year for each tillable acre in the farm. A farm of 160 tillable acres using 150 pounds per tillable acre per year would require 12 tons of fertilizer per year. For most economical operation it seems certain that crop expense is not an item to reduce but . one that the average farmer needs to in crease. For example, good seed is high priced, but generally the in crease in yield offsets the added cost. Aaron Ganz of Chicago, the “ atomic farmer” who has grown radioactive tobacco plants, received his doctor of philosophy degree in pharmacology at the University of Chicago. Ganz, working at the university’s “ atomic farm” , grew tobacco plants in air containing radioactive carbon dioxide. Minute doses of nicotine extracted from the radioactive plants was injected into rats and mice for the purposes of studying the behavior of nicotine in the hu man body. Ganz’s tests showed that the body quickly gets rid of nicotine. The liver was shown to pick up more of the nicotine than any other organ, the brain the least.

Heifers Should be Bred By Weight — Not Age Many dairymen have calving trou bles in heifers even though they don't breed them until they are 15 to 16 months old, specialists report. These calving difficulties are usual ly due to small heifers that have not been grown out properly, the specialists said.
