Page 3 Panama City News-Herald, Wednesday, July 5, 1950 Notes from Hollywood Woman's Life Begins At 40 Claims Actor Charles Coburn By BOB THOMAS observing the opposite sex for most of his 73 years, Charles Coburn concludes that "a woman doesn't reach her peak until she's at least 40." The famed actor with the monocle and the pouting lip delivered the opinion at his spacious and memento-filled Hollywood boulevard home. "Put any women past 40 in a room full of debutantes," he proposed. "'In a few minutes, you will see that she has monopoliced the attention and has the men in her control. "Why? because she has learned to make the man seem the center of importance. Younger girls feel that they must be the focus of attention.

They don't realize until later in in life that men do not Ike that." Coburn warmed up to his subject and spoke in the soft tones of his native Georgia. "A woman past 40 may have lost some of her youthfulness, but she has gained an inner beauty which is more important. She is better educated. She knows more about culture and can converse with more charm. She can cook better.

She knows how to comfort a man." A man, he added, doesn't reach maturity until 50. "After all, women are always more advanced for their age than men. Women are closer to life; they understand it better. For it is the -woman who gives life; the man is merely an incident or an accident in the birth of a child. "A girl of 12 or 14 is always more iadvanced than a boy of the same age.

In fact, it starts earlier. A girl baby may be bored in a room full of women. But let a man enter the room and she will start preening iher feathers." The actor admitted that life began at 60 for him. "When my wife died," he recalled, "I was terribly depressed. I had an offer to come to Hollywood and I took it, even though I had no desire to do movies.

But I found the work fascinating and I have never been happier." Coburn gets a chance to display his romantic technique in "Louisa." He and Edmund Gwenn, another mature Lothario, battle for the hand of Spring Byington. "The idea of over-age romance is not to be overlooked," Coburn added.

New French Cabinet Topples PARIS--(5)--Socialist objections to the Conservative complexion of Premier Henri Quille's new cabinet toppled the two-day-old regime yesterday on its first test in the national assembly.

Though not required by law to quit, Queuille handed his resignation to President Vincent Auriol. Auriol was expected to ask a Socialist to form a cabinet, but it appeared doubtful that such a premier could get the parliamentary majority necessary for endorsement. Queuille lost out by a vote of 334 to 221 on a proposal asking endorsement of his cabinet and its policies. He had warned the assembly in advance that he would quit if it demanded an immediate debate on the composition of his cabinet.

WARREN WILL ACCEPT LIBERTY BELL (Continued from page one) by the Tyndall Air Force Base band, and special ceremonies at Bay Front Park. Governor Warren has issued invitations to a number of state officials and distinguished citizens of the Tallahassee area to serve as an honorary commttee for acceptance of the bell from the Treasury Department. The Liberty Bell was selected by Secretary Snyder as the Independence Savings Bonds Drive symbol because it has represented individual freedom to the people of this country ever since it first rang out to proclaim the adoption of the Declaration of Independence in 1776. At Independence Hall on May 15, opening day of the Independence Drive. Secretary Snyder said: "Independence is a fundamental concept in our American way of living.

Our national existence was developed around the idea of individual freedom and independence--an idea which spread out from this city, (Philadelphia), until it covered a whole continent. Americans must continue to guard their individual freedom and independence." The replica is one of 53 exact duplicates of the original historic bell in Independence Hall, Philadelphia, which were donated as a public service by America's copper industry to stimulate interest in the Independence Drive. They were made in Annecy, France, where the art of bell- making has been practised for centuries. Working around the clock to meet shipping schedules, a group of some 40 residents of the community spared no effort in order to assure Americans that they should have their Liberty Bells in time for the Drive, The program for" the presentation ceremony will be held on the step at the main entrance to the Capitol and will include: Music by the Eglin Air Force Band, singing of the National Anthem by Mrs. J.

V. Chapman of Tallahassee, an invocation by the Reverend C. M. Cotton, Chairman of the Tallahassee Ministerial Association, and an address on the History of the Liberty Bell by Sentaor LeRoy Collins of Leon County who will also act as Master of Ceremonies, as well as the presentation address by Northcutt and the acceptance by Governor Warren. The United States Marine Corps will provide a color guard as well as an honor guard in the Marine Corps uniform of 1775 with a flag of the same date.

ST. JOE STREET PROJECT BEGINS (Continued from one) and sewer mains. Total cost of this project will be $86,000.

The second project will cost approximately $100.000 and will consist of widening the street from Ninth street to the eastern city limits and from First street to the wyestern city limits.

During the course of this work, traffic on United States Highway No. 98 has been rerouted through town whereby Long Avenue will receive the major part of the traffic would ordinarily be on Monument Avenue which is part of the highway. CROSBY CHEESECAKE--In the tradition of shipboard celebrities--usually women--crooner Bing Crosby exposes a bit of leg for the benefit of news photographers. Arriving in New York on the Queen Elizabeth, Crosby said, "I don't know anything about it," when asked about reports he and his wife, the former Dixia Lee, would separate. 'Author of Liberty Scouts Take Port in Program Recalling Freedom Milestones By ED CREAGH VALLEY FORGE, God of hosts, be with us yet, lest we forget--lest we forget." You might have wondered, in the beginning, whether the Boy Scouts felt in their hearts the meaning of the words or whether they were only parroting the old folks.

You saw the candles flicker into light. Only a few pricked the darkness at first. Then the whole open- air arena, on the ground where Washington's troops left bloody footprints, suddenly blazed with the brilliance of almost 50.000 candles. And from the throats of the massed Scouts and their leaders at the second national jamboree came other familiar words: "Our father's God, to thee "Author of liberty It wasn't a religious ceremony. The Scouts had been to church Sunday morning.

Protestant, Catholic, Jewish, Buddhist, Moslem and Hindu sesrvices were held at the same time in a half-mile radius. Then Monday night the boys and men came together again and took part in a common program dedicated to recalling the milestones of freedom along the path of American Democracy. Freedom of worship was the freedom symbolized by the burning candle in the uplifted hand of every Scout. A Catholic Priest, a Protestant Minister, a Jewish Rabb and a leader of the Church of Jesus Christ of the Latter Day Saints (Mormons) took part in the program. From somewhere in the darkness of the mild July evening, an anonymous voice spelled out through loudspeakers the lesson of the convocation: "In some parts of the world, men still are persecuted for their religious beliefs, and even somewhere in our land there is bigotry and misunderstanding.

"Freedom must be fought for continuously, and you Scouts must be leaders in that fight." Most of the Scouts were sleepy after the program, and went straight to bed. Today some 9,000 of them walked from one to another of the historic spots in nearby Philadelphia. Thousands of others toured Valley Forge itself, with its reminders of a fight for freedom nearly two centuries ago. PRETENDER KRETUKNS CALAIS, France d'Orleans, Count of Paris and pretender to the French throne, arrived in France today after a 25 year absence. The 41-year-old Count was accompanied by his wife, the Princess Isabelle.

He has been living in Portugal. They have 11 children. SOUTH KOREAN TROOPS REPORTED ALSO STRANDED (Continued from Page One) Warships of the 'naval sank six Red trawlers and five motor torpedo boats and damaged two other vessels. BOMBERS ACTIVE More U. S.

heavy bombers were being prepared for action. An undisclosed number of B29s of the 22nd Bombardment Group left from March Field, for the Pacific area. Many of the crewmen were World War veterans. Another secret number of Superforts left Spokane, for an advanced Pacific base. The Marine Air Wing based at El Toro, was scheduled to join MacArthur's command.

The U. S. and British Navies began to strike with carrier planes at North Korea targets. Under the direction of Vice Adm. Arthur D.

Struble, commander of the U. S. Seventh Fleet, carrier planes of the U.S.S. Valley Forge and the British light carrier Triumph slashed at Pyongyang, the North Korea capital, and its port, hitting rail yards, air field and hangar areas and bridges. A troop train was found and hit with ma- chinegun and rocket fire.

The three full air strikes and four sweeps by jet fighters were called "highly successful." Two Russian-made Yak fighters were shot down and eight other planes strafed on the gorund. There were no Allied casualties in the Monday and Tuesday strikes. The carrier Sicily, its decks loaded with warplanes, sailed from San Diego yesterday for in undisclosed destination, presumably the war theater. The U. S.

Reports to Washington indicate that up to now the only menace has been from small surface craft and Korean planes, but no one in Washington underestimated the possibility that submarines, possibly loaned by Russia, might enter the picture. Some 2,500 Japanese merchant seamen, guaranteed big bonuses, are manning more than 30 small ships moving supplies to South Korea. The blue flag of the United Nations may be flown by Americans and others fighting in South Korea, under the U.

N. order to repel the North Korean Communist invasion by force, diplomats in Washington reported, adding that Gen. MacArthur probably would be named U. N. commander for Korea.

HEAVY RAINS Heavy rains fell on the fighting front in Korea, impeding American operations. The Communists, keeping their offensive punch, still threatened to envelop the Seoul- Inchon-Suwon triangle embracing more than 200 square miles. Tanks smashing through Suwon yesterday rolled southward swiftly, apparently to strike at new defense positions before the Americans could bolster the faltering South Korean forces. With rain keeping down the U. S.

fighter planes, the Reds had an advantage. Inchon, the port of Seoul the Yellow Sea doggedly held by South Korean troops for 10 days, apparently fell to the Communists' pincers in sharp fighting. A convoy of 25 Communist tanks was observed moving toward Seoul and the fighting zone from the North Korea border, to reinforce the invaders' offensive. The Communist radio at Pyongyang claimed without confirmation that Communist forces landed on the southeast coast pushed inland 15 miles in an attempt to cut American rail and road communications.

Bulla Darkhorse In British Golf TROON, Scotland Johnny Bulla figures it will take a new record score to win the British open golf championship--and he aims to set it. The 72-hole title grind began this morning with the first of four rounds by 93 qualifiers who had scores of 153 or better for two days' trials. Bulla, a Pittsburgh pro, led them with a four-under-par 140 over two courses.

His steady golf made him the talk of the tournament. Bookmakers were regretting they pegged him at 25-1, making him a longshot compared with defending champion Locke, favorite at 4-1. Talks Underway In Rail Tie-Up First Joint Conference Held CHICAGO (ff) Representatives of striking switchmen and five Mid-western and Western railroads had their first joint peace talks yesterday, but nothing came of them. They are expected to confer again today. The meeting was arranged by government mediators trying to end the 11-day-old walkout of the AFL Switchmen's Union of North America.

Union chiefs had two sessions with rail men representing the Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific, the Denver and Rio Grande Western, the Great Northern, the Western Pacific, and the Chicago Great Western. The strike of 4,000 men has shut down all but the Great Northern. The GN.is operating on reduced schedules. One source close to the parleys said the two talks were merely exploratory. Another added that there is a ray of hope 'in the fact that both sides are now face to face across a table.

Francis O'Neill, a member of the National (Railway) Mediation Board, said after the second conference: "The situation is about the same," with no definite progress to report. The union walked out in a protest to a fact finding board's recommendation that the switchmen get a 40 hour week and 18 cents an hour pay raise.
