must be approved by Governor Russell before it becomes effective The governor has the question under con i'' sideration now and expects to act this week He should approve the action of the Board of Regents comprised of five competent business'men which was taken after months of consideration The regents sought and received advice from competent authorities and coupled this advice with their own busi ness acumen and concluded the deal The governor has received requests from some individuals to disapprove the action of the Board of Regents Whether or not a pressure group is being formed to block the sale of the farm bv inducing the gov ernor to veto it is difficult to determine but there are earmarks The governor should take action at once and go along with the regents who knew what they were doing CIVIL DEENSE TESTS Across the country Monday warning sirens set in motion a two day series of civil def ease exercises called 1 Operation Alert orty one of the largest cities in the

cities in Canada and points in A laska Hawaii Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands were also under mock attack from a fleet of 400 A bomb carrying planes The defense problem assumed in addition to many more disasters that three bombs had been dropped on New York City and that Washington and Baltimore had been ravished The two day tests assumed the worst that bombers arrived without warning catching

Hollywood HOLLYWOOD June Clyde Beatty probably the best known animal trainer has been hos pitalized more than 50 times be cause of injuries received from the big cats This record came to light recently when Warners were film ing a circus story using the Clyde Beatty Show and giving Beatty a role in the action Beatty sometimes may enter a cage where there are one or more beasts snarling or roaring without being covered closely by a rifle in the hands of a good shot just out side But not often too wise in the ways of jungle cats to take' such foolhardy chances He never knows when an animal may engage him in combat The tiger is the most likely of the brutes to get out of hand Beatty never knows when one will leap at him for they become obstreperous at the slightest noise and most unexpected movement Clyde Beatty is a man of medium height soft spoken and mild mannered Perhaps you pick him out of the crowd as one of the few men in the world who have nerve enough to face wild ani mals in a cage He does not care for the title "animal Ani mals are never tamed They can however be trained One thing he has learned He turn his back on his charges They seem to sense that this is an opportune moment Beatty want his cats to fear him to the point that they will seek his death in revenge' if animals do that sort of thinking but to dominate them as a master without instilling hate for him into their inherently savage makeup Often when more than one cat is in the cage one will of fend another beast and a free for all will start It was in one of these that Beatty got his worst mauling He was trying to separate two fero cious fellows and they resented the interference Beatty barely escapad with his life He was in a hospital bed several weeks as a result One tiger was killed in that melee Beatty laughs when you ask him if he has any assistants "Young men nowadays do not have a stomach for the lion train he says know why Maybe just good sense But no long line of appli cants for the Cameron Mitchell the well known actor has said something that will have its echoes among film leaders as well as in the churches of the country He told friends and his friends told others that if he plays a certain Biblical role he may quit the movies and devote his life to church work Certainly he would never again ap pear in cheap or sensational pic tures I congratulate Cameron for being one of the few actors con scientious enough to realize the relationship between Biblical roles and a personal life But the very fact that he feels as he does coupled with his past good behavior is proof enough that he should stay on in Hollywood There always will be inspirational screen parts which can wield a grat influence for good day was government building of dams and govern ment transmission of electricity Some TV operators are farsighted enough to realize that too much mo nopoly might lead to a system similar to that in England complete government control of broad casting Republicans are also fortunate in that certain Democrats have profited immensely from the weak kneed tactics of the wire pulled CCommissioners The Drop Out Scandal One of the worst CC scandals is the ladling out of TV licenses by what is called This is a neat device whereby you can apply for a TV license at about 5 pm on a Tuesday evening and get your license granted at 10 am Wednesday You have to apply on a Tuesday night becausethe commission meets Wednesday morning to' hand out licenses And if you apply before 5 pm Tuesday a competitor is likely to hear what you are up to and thwart your game What happens is this If two competitors are ap plying for a TV licensin the same town there is a public hearing with the CC hearing both sides But if you buy your competitor out or if you quietly com bine this is called a after which you can slip in before the CC at 5 pm Tuesday and file a new application showing that there is no competition for a TV license in your city Then on Wednesday morning the CC will hand you a TV license which if it's a "very high fre and a strong enough wave length is a literal pot of gold The CC gives no consideration as good for the community or what kind of programming job you will do or whether the license increases the com munications monopoly in that area It just ladles out the pot of gold And especially when TV licenses were unfrozen in July 1952 the ladling was faster and more in discriminate than ever This was the period when Minority Leader Senator Lyndon Johnson of Texas copped off the rich TV license for his wife in Austin The Johnson family already had a profitable radio station but now have an even more profitable TV station lurching against the safety at a force 22 times his own weight The distortions to liis

Based on'results of an Institute survey just completed the public continues to be overwhelmingly opposed to sending troops to take part in the fighting wnereas nearly tnree out or every four adults (72 per cent) questioned disapprove today only one in five (20 per cent) approve The remaining 8 per cent express no opinion In fact sentiment in favor of intervention since a mid May re port by the Institute not only gone up it has fallen off some A month ago 22 per cent approved compared to 20 per cent today The survey also finds that the public has cooled somewhat toward the proposal to send air and naval forces but not ground forces to help the rench ifty per cent disapprove of this proposal to day compared to 52 per cent in May With criticism mounting in Washington that the administra tion cannot make up its mind about military intervention in Indo China the assigned its nation wide staff of reporters to put two trend questions to a carefully selected cross section of adults The first: United States Is now sending war materials to help the rench fight the Communists in Indo China Would you approve or disapprove of aending soldiers to take part in the fight ing Here is the vote today compared with identical surveys in mid May and last September: SEND TROOPS? Ap Disap No prove prove Opin Sept 1953 8 85 7 May 1954 22 68 10 TODAY 20 72 8 The next question: you approve or disap prove of our sending air and naval lorces out not ground torces to help the Here is the trend since a month ago: SEND AIR NAVAL ORCES? Ap Disap No prove prove Opin May 1954 36 52 12 TODAY 33 55 12 One of the important aspects of the reaction to the Indo China problerfl is the political im plications involved Political leaders of both parties have been concerned over military intervention because of the fact that this is a Congressional election year Republican leaders are particu larly sensitive since in the last presidential election they won votes by promising to stop the war in Korea which many had criticized as "Truman's survey finds that there is little difference of opinion be tween rank and file Democrats and Republicans on both issues although what difference there is indicates that Democrats are slightly more Interventionist than are GOP voters Here is vote by party affiliation: SEND TROOPS?

intervention than are persons who have attended only high school or grade school The is that men are more in favor than are women In his weekly news conference this last week Secretary of State John oster Dulles barred a go it alone policy for the United States in Indo China unless Communist China commits open aggression there or anywhere else in the ar East Sidewalk flower stands have brightened streets since the 1880s By rederick Othman WASHINGTON June 15 or seven weeks under the hot lights rancis Carr sat there like a portly graven image The fight be tween his boss Sen Joe McCarthy and the Army swirled all around him but never once did Carr utter a peep When Army lawyer Joseph Sawyer called him the strong silent man expression never changed Except that he wore a double breasted suit to cover his consider able middle you might have thought that he was knick knack sitting on the shelf So inconspicu ous was he in his quietude that the hordes in the Senate caucus room soon began to ignore him It was as if he were invisible nobody even seemed to see him Then suddenly this tongue tied monolith was called to the big red leather chair in front of all the microphones to tell what he knew about the fracas He talked And he talked exceedingly well He also talked in a resonant baritone which indicated that he could be anchor man in any barbershop quartet he chose Calmly Carr answered questions and as the story unfolded it de veloped that he at heart was a man worked for the BI ever since he graduated from law school and gone with Sen investigating committee only last year taken no part in any of the battles involving Sen McCar thy and chief counsel Roy Cohn Carr merely listened carefully as' a man should to all these argu ments and stored them in the back of his head When the time came for him to speak under oath it de veloped he not only had a photo graphic but also a phonographic memory So it was that his answers were direct to the point and minus any hedging He mentioned the pressures put upon the committee by Army offi cialdom to stop its inquiry into alleged Communism at Mon mouth and at one place he was asked about that celebrated luncheon with Secretary of the Army Robert Stevens The secretary was there of course in a private dining room at the Pentagon So were Sen Mc Carthy Cohn and Carr One chair which had been for Pvt David Schine was empty be cause the best known soldier was at Dix learning how to be an infantryman So after the ice cream there came another hot discussion about Schine and also about those public hearings at Monmouth Again old man Carr 37) had just sat there listening Pressed as to whether he didn't even say one little thing he replied: "Generally speaking it was pretty hard to get a word in edge As for being called the strong silent man Carr said he mind that Since these proceedings be gan so long ago been called many worse things he said Carr rapidly for all concerned was the final witness although the senator and Cohn may have to do some more testifying later moving on to the end of this high and noble adventure if you want to call it said Sen Everett Dirksen (R Ill) while chairman Karl Mundt (R SD) predicted that the floodlights would be dimmed permanently sometime this week This if pardon a personal note is just as well Business is piling up at the Patent Office at the farm in Virginia and there are the assorted investigations into government housing loan skul duggeries All over town are situa tions that interest me and I doubt if ever catch up tu oLined Eleanor Roosevelt's HYDE PARK June The other evening when I spoke at a TA meeting at Pine Plains I heard a great deal of comment on the McCarthy Army hearihgs par ticularly about the recent dramatic interchange between the senator and Joseph Welch the Army counsel I was astounded at the feeling that evidently had been aroused by the senator's cruel and reckless accusations against a young man in Mr office Almost everyone who spoke to me said that about the only value the hearings had was in making them understand the type of per son this senator really is They seemed to feel at last the danger that exists in any personality which is interested primarily in acquiring power and utterly 'disregards the rights of other people This last weekend I had a very interesting day In the morning the president of the Trap Rock Corp took me down to their quar ries near here It was interesting to see the work that they do The stone quarried there is particularly hard and is used largely in making roads and cement They had picked out a particular piece and polished it leaving the outline of the state of New York and marking Hyde Park on it This stone was presented to me to give to the chairman of the Georgia state commission for the Little White House in Warm Springs He was present and accepted the stone to place with others from the 48 states which form a walk at the Litte House where my husband lived on the grounds of the Warm Springs oundation It was a very fine gesture made by the company which presented this stone which will be a con stant reminder at Warm Springs of the state where my husband was born and grew up and where he lived most of his life He always felt that Warm Springs was his second home so I think it would please him very much to know that this stone would be a link between the two homes which meant so much to him I was back home in time to go over to the Memorial Library to escort over to my house the car in which Madame Mehta the wife of the Indian ambassador and a friend had come up from New York to visit the library and our old home After a very pleasant lunch they left In the afternoon I spent a little while with another guest George Randall of North Hollywood Calif talking over some plans which the Los Angeles chapter of the Ameri can Association for the UN has con ceived for the celebration of the tenth anniversary of the UN That evening Mrs Skitch Hen derson (aye Emerson) and her son Scoop drove up frofri New York bringing Mr and Mrs John Roose velt with them Mrs Henderson is rehearsing a play in Westport Conn so had to leave at noon on Sunday Therefore on Sunday morning we had a large family breakfast out on my porch with all the children and grownups of the neighborhood to celebrate belated ly my grandson Haven birthday which had been a week before and also birthday
