Every day people are trying to
interest Mack Sennett in making
comedies for television. He told
me:
“They talk in terms of $6,000 to
SIO,OOO for a half hour show. Our
comedies, which ran 18 minutes,
cost $25,000. Today they would
cost SIOO,OOO. Good corhedies can
not be made cheaply. I suspect I
won’t be in TV production for
some time.”

Before production started Writer
John Klorer and a French trans
lator got together with the result
that each English speech is the ex
act number of words and syllables
required to register the same
thought in French. When French
voices are dubbed in no mouths
will be open when they should be
shut and vice versa.
I've tried and tried, and this is

Is it true that a boy must have |
a car these days to get dates? {
One boy thinks it is. He is|
Johnny Waris, Finnish student at- |
tending classes at Georgia Tech, |
and he really believes “you’ve got |
to have a car to fall in love ini
America.”
In Finland, he says, a boy would
suggest a long walk when he meets
his dream girl. But in America
“a girl thiv''s you are cray when ‘
you ask her 0 walk.”
Johnny ought to speak to a few
girls who are pretty thin-soled
disproving his theory. And he ‘
might also query a few other girls
who’ve had to buy gas for buggies
they’ve had the “good fortune” to
ride in,
Some girls think it would be
more fun to get back to the cava
lier days: A boy walked into the
parlor with a little bag of popcorn l
or jelly beans or peanuts or maybe
(one special occasions) a carton of
ice cream. Later, there would be
a walk, perhaps, or just cozy con
versation .on the front porch. But
in any event, the girl wouyld not
have to rustle up movie money or
special-treat change for her swain.
He would be embarrassed to take
it.
It is good news in a way to
hear that girls are making it a
little tough for the boys, who've
had life pretty easy for a while.
Girls shamelessly got to the point
where they were outbidding each
other with special favors in ex
change for male companionship.
Another custom that strikes the
Finnish student as weird is the
casual way girls date. He says:
“In Atlanta you ask a girl for a
date, and she is so enthusiastic
you think you are practically en- 1
gaged . . . then she says it is two |
weeks before she will have a free
night.” |
In Finland a girl goes with one
boy only, he says. If she meets |
somehody she likes better, then
she goes steady with him. Johnny
thinks that system is real com
panionship.
While it is too bad that Johnny
is having his troubles, we’ll have
to applaud the fact that maybe
girls are getting smarter.
There are a few facts that maybe
Johnny doesn’t know-—some rea
- sons why American girls might be
playing the game of romance so
they at least break even.
The American male is a pam
pered critter. He plays the field
before marriage and sometimes
continues to be a lone wolf and
a bachelor in spirit after mar
riage.
One common type wants his
wife to be a personal valet—she
must keep him bright and shiny
as a gold medal. Her cooking
must rival the culinary art-of a
Cordan Bleu graduate. She must
be an amateur psychiatrist and
interpret his moods and whims,
know exactly how to humor him
and when to keep her mouth shut.
She should be a high finance ex
port and figure out how to cut
corners on the groceries so he
can play poker twice a week. She
also must be prepared to be nurse
| maid to his fishing tackle and be
. an expert gardener—if they have

BY CYNTHIA LOWRY
AP Newsfeaures Writer \
A friend of mine is the proud
and loving owner of a very hand
some, gentle champion boxer
named Gretchen. The friend, who
~shall be called Mary for the uni
que reason that it is her name,
purchased a televison set some
months ago.
Gretchen paid no attention to
the machine for a good long time,
probably figuring it was some pe
culiar type of radio, an accustom
ed, noisy article of furniture. One
evening, however, Mary tuned in
on the National Dog Show and
Gretchen immediately became
very interested in what was going
on.
- She watched for awhile and
then went over to see if she
could get closer to the show ani
mals, No excitement, though, un
til the judges moved into the
‘Boxer division. Gretchen became
extremely alert, watched the
judging and then walked over to
a full length mirror and took a
long, vain look at herself. Satis
fied with what she saw from both
a sitting and standing position, she
went back to her chair, curled up
and went to sleep.
This brings me to the reaction
of a small black-and-whie cat
named Toni to a newly-purchased
TV set. We have known Toni was
a spoiled fussy pet for years. She
won’'t drink whole milk, but de
mands top of the bottle. She likes
ground, top round and won’t touch
hamburger. It’s canned salmon—
never cheaper mackerel — for her.
All this we figured was out fault.
We never gave her credit for be
ing a discerning cat until the ar
rival of TV.
‘ For the first week after the in
stallation of the set, Miss Toni
ranged through the living room as
if purchased by a pack of hounds.
Ordinarily she thoroughly investi=-
gates every new object which
comes into the house, including
human: But she never came near
the television.
But after a week of this she ap
' parently decided that the square
monster had moved in permanent
ly, and she had to face it. She
made this decision just as the set
was being dialed to a baseball
gahe. She settled herself comfort
ably on the largest lap in the room
land rather grimly looked at the
| screen just as the players started
throwing the ball around.
I Except to stretch herself and
change positions during the com
mercial, Toni never took her eyves
off the Giants-Cardinal game all
afternoon. It apparently tired her
eyes as well as those of the other
viewers but she seemed to enjoy
I it very much.
| The following day, however, she
| resumed her viewer's position as
the set was dialed to an alleged
variety show. She watched for
about a minute, climbed off the lap
and retreated for the rest of the
afternoon to an upstairs room, out
of sight and sound. Since then we
have tested her on boxing, roller
derby, wrestling, parlor games, old
movies, chatterbox programs and
mystery plays. The only thing she
will stick around for are sports.

commentary on the cat or on tele-

PROPOSED HIKE
Meaning Of
Toll Disput
By CLARKE BEACH
‘WASHINGTON—President Tru
man decided back in March 1948
that there ought to be a little hike
in the toll rates for the Panama
Canal.
Canal Zone expenses had gone
up a lot since the last toll rate
rise in 1938.
Toll rates in the privately op
erated Suez Canal have been
raised from 28 Egyptian piastres
in 1939 to 39 piastres—The Presi
dent announced that on Oct. 1,
1948, the rate for the Panama
Canal would rise from 90 cents to
$1 per ton for laden ships.
But the rate rise never has gone
into effect. It has become involved
in one of the stormiest contro
versies now raging in the capital
—involving such issues as the
building of a new canal and re
organization of the canal’s admin
istrative and operating set-up.
Postponed Date
At the suggestion of Congress,
the President has repeatedly post
poned the effective date of the
rise while Congress studied the
issues. Now it is set for April i,
vision. I am assured by everyone
who owned a TV set longer than
T kave that when the summer re
placements are gone and the reg
ular winter programs are back on
their channels, TV is much better
than it is now. I sure hope so, both
for Toni’s sake and my own. I've
already gone back to an old-fash
ioned occupation called “reading
a book.”

A DANCE . virginia Mayo laces
h's‘Ar dancing shoes in her dressing room for one of her scenes in
Fhe West Point Story,” being fittwed i Sun Fernando Valley, Cal,
1951.
Shipping interests protested to
Congress when the raise was first
announced. They said ship opera
tors were barely able to make
both ends meet and some were
losing money. Besides, they were
already being charged too much
in tolls, they contended, because
in setting toll rates the govern
ment made them pay for items
which should be charged to na
tional defense.
The House Merchant Marine
Committee was instructed to fake
an investigation. It recommended
that the whole theory of Panama
Canal tolls be examined. The cur
rent practice is to charge tolls
which will defray the costs of op
erating and maintaining the canal
and Canal Zone facilities, besides
giving the government a 3 per
cent return on its investment,
But nobody knows the true op
erating expenses of the canal, the
investigators pointed out, because
there is no business accounting
system. The Hoover ;Commission
asked a reorganization of canal ad
ministration to simplify account
g
At the suggestion of the House
committee, the President had the
Budget Bureau make a study. It
recommended a reorganization,
substantially along the lines of the
Hoover Commission plan.,, A bill
is now in Congress.
Here are some of the arguments
brought out in hearings on the
bill:
Shipping men contend that half
the interest charges should be paid
as national defense. The interest
charges, about $15,000,000 a year,
account for 75 cents of the 90-
cent toll.
S Amount To Subsidy
Cross-continent railroad men,
on the other hand, say that no
such allowance should be made
for national defense, that it would
amount to a subsidy for shipping.
The subsidy, they add, would go
to foreign vessels as much as
American ships. Treaties require
equal toll rates.
A new canal also is involved.
Will toll rates be based on interest
charges on that vast new capital
outlay?
If so, the rise might be fantastic.
A government study in 1945 rec
ommended the construction of a
sea-level canal, primarily for de~
sense purposes. It estimated the
cost at $2,482,000,000. Since then
many prominent engineers have
questioned the advisability of such
a canal and have said the cost
anoioght be as high as $20,000,000,-
At present U, S. government
ships use the canal toll-free. The
reorganization bill provides that
they shall henceforth pay tolls or
that the canal shall otherwise be
reimbursed.
This is a step in the right di
rection, say the shipping men, but
they feel that under the plan the
government still wouldn’t be pay
ing its full share for national de
fense. o

ing strong.
The South Koreans fought stub
bornly. But they were forced back
by superior numbers.
The Reds had thrown into the
battle 40,000 of the 64,600 troops
they have pressing against the
front, which is anchored on the
south coast west of Masan Port,
27 airline miles west of Pusan.
In a message urging the South
Koreans to hold, Lt. Gen. Walton
H. Walker, U. S. Bth Army com
mander, said:
“It is my belief the over-ex
tended enemy is making his last
gasp. Tear him apart now so that
our road to victory will be that
much surer and quicker.”
Earlier Monday General Walk
er expressed concern over optim
iism shown by some frontline
troops and officers. He warned
against it before taking off on an
air tour of the Korean front.
Before the late Monday air and
field reports were received the
Bth Army in Korea and General
MacArthur’s headquarters in
. Tokyo had reported the Red drive
contained.
l At the Pohang airstrip, six miles
below the No. 2 South Korean east
coast port, correspondent Boyle
said American officers were op
timistic about the possibility of
stopping the Communist assault.
Boyile’s report tallied with air
force information that one of the
roads south of Kigye, mountain
town nine miles northwst of Po
hang, had been brought under
mortar fire, Kigye has changed
hands several times in the fight
ing.
The AP correspondent said it
appeared from the air that Com
munist shells were reaching to
ward the Pohang-Angang route, an
east-west artery.
The route was still being used
Monday #ght by the Allies to feed
supplies into Taegu, 45 miles to
the west. $
The battle nerth of Taegu was
being waged over a narrow front
through the mountains.
The North Koreans kept pres
sure on American held sectors of
the long battle line. This was true
particularly along the Naktong
River, which snakes north and
south on the west of Taegu, and
the Nam River west of Masan,
south coast port 27 airline miles
west of Pusan.
The Reds tried to shove rein
forcements across both rivers but
met disaster in each attempt.
American artillery and planes
caught the Reds and in one place
| cut down half of a small North
l Korean force.
B-29s Monday ranged far north
and plastered an iron and steel
plant at Songjin with 300 tons of
bombs. Songjin is 180 miles north
| of the 38th parallel, which divides
| North and South Korea.
| A navy operations summary re
ported carrier pilots smashed 11
new Russian-type Yak fighter
planes on the ground at Yonpo.
This was the largest single group
of North Korean fighter craft dis
covered in many weeks in Korea.
Possibly more significant was
the appearance of corvettes, tank
ers and freighters in North Ko
rean ports. Apparently they were
supplied to the North Koreans by
another Communist nation for the
Red Koreans had none when the
war started on June 25.
The Navy said raiding American
carrier pilots sank a corvette or a
submarine-chaser type of vessel,
an ocean going tanker, gvo other
tankers and a corvette. Nine cor

Rollin" Along
MORDEN, Manitoba, — Some 23
housewives here wash the outside
of their homes as regularly as
they do the kitchen floor,
They are the wives of Amescan
oil men working on the pipeline
which will carry Alberta oil to the
lakehead. They live in luxury
fitted trailers.
They will stay in Morden. as
long as their husbands are at
work nearby. Then they will move
on as the pipeline progresses. A
few months from now they may
be with another pipeline job, per
haps in Venezuela or Mexico.
Every morning in this temporary
community, “the lady of the
house” can be seen in T-shirt and
jeans attacking the exterior of her
trailer with scrub brush.
The trailers contain bedrooms,
shower, . kitchenette and living
roonmts. Most have electric refrige~
rators and ultra-modern stoves.
There are no facilities for heavy
washing, so the pipeline wives ys
ually send it out to a nearby laun
dry.
Wives who have babies bathe
them in portable wash tubs. ©Older
children play with tricycles, wag
ons and toys. All go along when
the trailer moves.
Mrs. L. Silvio, one of the wives,
has been traveling over North Ame
erica by trailer for 14 years. Hep
husband is a utility welder.
“Of course, I didn’t have ag
much work until he came along®
said Mrs. Silvio, glancing at her
six-month-old son, Gerry. “There
isn’t much space, and when one
thing is out of place the whola
trailer looks upset.”
Mrs. Silvio, whose home is At
lanta, Ga., says she hopes her hus
band will quit pipeline work when
Gerry is old enough to go to school
