He expiained, because ot the nature of the Chinese mind, it would be important to maintain a foothold up to six months in any landing on the mainland, . Chiang admitted: “We are not fully prepared to re- turn to the mainland” and said that many factors would determine the length of time needed to be in readinegs lor such an expedition, The Chinese Generalissimo is under no illusions that a campaign on the continent would be easy, and he is un- aer no taise impressions that his soldiers on Formosa are today ready to undertake the attack alone. Instead, Chiang takes a realistic view. He says: “If we can seize one or two footholds on the mainland and hold them three to six mnnths, I am sure the people would come to our aid.” The Generalissimo believes the Chinese are apt to wait to see how a landing turns out before showing their har This would probably be wise, since the Chinese know what fate would await them if they showed their hands, — sympathy with the forces of the Nationalists — and then were again left at the mercy of the Communist rulers | of China. While an invasion of China is a necessity which may eventually arrive, Americans should hope that other ways can be found to cope with the Chinese Communist threat. These other methods may be a Navy blockade, selective would not necessarily end:the world threat imposed by Communism — the heart of which is in Moscow.

It would be a tragic day for America American boys were éver included in any expedition in- vading China proper. The final decision in the fight between Democracy and Communism will come in Western Europe, or some other area where Russia is the major opponent. Once the | Russian problem is eliminated, the Chinese situation will | clear up rapidly. However, if the United States undertook to drive the Communists out of China and succeed, that SLICE OF HAM HAL . BO SAYS By HAL BOYLE NEW YORK — The art of bawling out the hands is be- coming a lost art in the American business world. In the old days when a boss saw something he didn't like, he'd let out a yelp and dress the culprit down on the spot — in burning language more memorable than grammatical. But today most bosses seem to have lost the gift of tongue-lashing. They have found it cheaper, by and large, to hire a psychiatrist to find out what is the matter with a derelict employe than it is to baw! the fellow out themselves and end | ‘up explaining it all to the U. S. Supreme Court. So many employes know their jrights now that an employer is hesitant about pointing out their wrongs. Therefore, it came as something of a surprise to me to get the following letter: “Dear Sir: “T have a problem. My boss bawled me out last week, and I have a feeling he’s going to baw] me out again this week. “I would quit and get me another job except it’s such a nice place to work. The management even puts gin in the office water cooler. What can I do? It makes me out.

Here are two experts who say that movie stars don’t either. | Well, maybe there are two ex- ceptions. Elizabeth Taylor and /| Marilyn Monroe are the exception- al gals. This verdict comes from Al and Estelle Allardale, a husband-wife team and operators of an exclusive shop patronized by Hollywood fashion seekers. They know the {modes and measurements of a | good many female stars. “Every star has some drawback, as far as figure is concerned,” reported Allardale. ‘The only ones | who break this rule are Miss Tay- lor and Miss Monroe. Try as you | may, you can find no structural defects in either one. “But I do not mean that they | be that good. Miss Taylor lacks a maturity, which is an important | _ part of beauty. And Miss Monroe | must dress very carefully, or she will look cheap.” “All of the other stars have some defect or defects, many of them | glaring,” Mrs. Allardale added. To- | gether, they enumerated some of | them. Their decisions: | Greta Garbo has feet that are | too long and her posture is poor. | Katharine Hepburn does not have | enough in the right places. Jane | Russell has too much bosom. Rita Hayworth is sway-backed. Betty Grable may have beautiful legs, but she is too short-waisted Shelley Winters has too much bos- om and too much hips. Barbara Stanwyck is too thin all over. Bette Davis is too chunky. “But all of these stars have as- sets that make up for whatever they lack physically,”’ Allardale ex- plained. ‘They have powerful per sonalities that make them exciting individuals.” “It’s a matter of whether beauty is in the object or the eye,” Mrs. | Allardale remarked. “When beauty | is lacking in the object, these wom- en compensate with other ele | Key W ments. Irene Dunne and Eve Ar- den make up with chicness what they lack in natural beauty. Dinah Shore does it with warmth and ap- Peal.” Allardale added that beauty is merely a matter of fashion, any- way. “What seemed gorgeous to our ancestors now appears grotesque to us,” he commented. “Venus de Milo is supposed to be the epitome of graceful form. Perhaps she was, in her time. But if you saw the same ‘figure in a bathing suit to- day, it would be considered too fat. “In the present century, the lideal feminine form has changed twice. First, the voluptuous form, ample and well padded, was con- sidered the most beautiful. Lillian | Russell was the prime example. | “Then came the bathtub - gin era, when the straight figure was ear | textile yarns and fabrics are being | the vogue. Women did everything* they could to hide the curves “Now we are having a return to curves. But we are not going back to the voluptuous figures of Lillian Russell’s day. The trend is to a well rounded, feminine form.” Failure of the 1846 potato crop in Ireland stim ed heavy immigration to the United States from that country.
