S. leadership if we are to strengthen the bonds of friendship between this country and Japan. There is no questioning the fact that the basic essen- tlals of life are in chronic short supply. If Japan is to buy and import the things she cannot produce, she must have ‘access to raw materials. Her problems are increased by a drastically reduced merchant marine, and a vulnerability to attack because she has disarmed. . Japan still has the overpopulation and trade prob- lems that she had before Pearl Harbor. In addition, she now has fewer markets and fewer possible markets, and there are fewer places where her excess population can go. It should be remembered that Japan has lost her is- : pire and her holdings on the Asian mainland. She * dg: not to trade, with her logical trade part- \tiers, China and Russia. Japanese nationals are excluded from Australia and New Zealand and less than 200 will be admitted to the United States next year. Any attempt to increase Jap trade will meet with great opposition not only from the leaders of other na- tions but also from manufacturers in this country who can remember how, in some fields, the Japanese can undersell them. The honeymoon is ver. We are now faced with stark economic and sociological facts. It will take the highest type leadership on our part to strengthen the bonds of friendship this country and our neighbor in the Far East. POLITICAL BUTTONS Turning out political buttons is becoming big bus- iness this year. Two companies report thaat they are in their third million of “I like Ike” buttons, and that Sena- tor Taft's supporters are matching the Eisenhower boosters order for order. Kefauver is setting the pace in the Democrataic race if button orders tell the whole story. It is true, however, * that Russell and Harriman buttons are popular, too. Why do many of these pretty young things marry men with so much money? Almost anybody can tell you why somebody else ought to work for the benefit of the community. The freedom of the press belongs to the people of a nation, not to the owners of publications. calle Official U.S. Navy Photo DOING HIS PART in keeping submarines fit and ready for bat- tle action is Jack L. Vogel, MMFN, USN, who is attached to the USS Howard W.

The Communist Jeaders have held that their ideo- logy has given Russia the world’s greatest science, art and litera- ture. Now they are going to show that ideology also builds better bodies. Is a Communist muscle neces- sarily better than a liberty-loving muscle? The Soviet athletes are being sent to prove this. And it’s not a pleasant spot te be in. They must feel like old Roman gladia- tors, told to win or face the con- sequences — a down - turned thumb. Soviet athletes take their train- ing seriously. One report is that they keep in shape by reading Karl Marx all morning, and then taper off in the afternon by wrestling live bears. Before going to bed they relax by doing full knee bends with a copy of the Life of Stalin each shoulder. ey will be alerted to any pos- sible Western trickery. In this re- spect they can get a few tips from Comrade Mikhail Botvinnik, the world chess champion. Botvinnik ordinarily gets ready for a big match in Russia by walk- ing, running and cycling. But he takes extraordinary measures to prepare himself for competition outside his own country. A Russian chess expert recently described his strange methods as follows: in a Western country, he spends three weeks with a companion, working out problems while a ra- dio blares in the background and his companion blows smoke in his face.” Soviet leaders must be already a bit worried about the possible effect contact with the Western world will have on their athletes. And not without reason. Let us imagine, for example, jwhat/ happens when /Ivan Ivan- ovich, a Russian weigit lifter, meets up with Jim Biceps, American contender. The first thing they do, of course, is feel each other’s muscles gingerly. All weight lifters do that. It is their way of saying “Hello.” win the championship?” says Jim. “I will get a foreman’s job in my factory — perhaps also a Sta- lin Medal,” replied Ivan. “What will be your reward if you win”— and adds hastily — ‘“‘not that it is possible.” “Oh, I'll turn pro,” says Jim. “What does that mean?” asks Ivan. “Oh,” says Biceps, “it means I'll probably get a job playing Tarzan in the movies. I'll also start manufacturing bar bells under my own name, and a correspondence course in muscle building. Then dcrsements, television appearances and a book on weight lifting. “All in all, I suppose I will clear $100,000 the first year.’ “That ain't rubles,” signs Ivan, enviously. But he will wander off, a Communist trained for life, won- dering why he can’t get a chance |to play Tarzan, too. Once a horse sees hay it is hard to get him to eat sawdust — and like it.

It was veteran Mack Sen- nett, father of the Keystone cops and the bathing beauties. Sennett, who hasn’t been active jin film production for more than a decade, was chosen by the French government to be guest of honor at the festival “At first I didn’t want to g he admitted. “It sounded like a long and tiring trip. But then I talked to some of my friends and |I realized it might be a good ges- ture for American relations with France and other countries. So I | decided to go. “What a trip! I was in the air for 28 hours. I arrived at Cannes |at 4 in the afternoon and started to take a-nap. Then semeone ¢alled up and told me the Italians were giving a big cocktail party and dinner and I had to be there. I started on a merry-go-round and never got off. I didn’t get a good night’s sleep until I got home two weeks later,” Sennett is 68, but he set tke pace for the glamor girls who at- tended the festival. He attended most of the showings and managed to stay awake, despite the fact that most of the films were in foreign languages without titles. “Sometimes I felt like dozing off,” he said, “but I realized that would not be diplomatic.” A special feature of the festival was a Sennett Festival, an hour and a half of his early films. They featured such stars as Charlie Chaplin, Mabel Normand and Gloria Swanson. “I was worried about how they would go over,” Sennett remarked, But the audience howled, You nev- Orson Welles introduced me and |I had to make a speech.” Sennett returned from engendering good will abroad for Hollywood and the U.

Or Bill Holdem, and his wife, Brenda Marshall, who made a lot of friends at the Cannes Festival, } “That goes for all Americans. 1) understand there are 759,000 peo- ple going from here to Evrope this year. If they will all remember they are goodwill ambassadors, the money we are pouring into Europe.” Sennett offered these travelers abroad: 1. Don’t be a showoff. Instead of driving around in an expensive U, S. auto, hire a little foreign car. 2. Don’t throw your money around. Europeans don’t like to be reminded that they are poor. 3. Don’t order the native around. You are a walking billboard for democracy. 4. Remember a friendly smile is your calling card. He added another point — don't be surprised by anything. Mack went to the Maurice Chevalier show in Paris and was startled to see that the chorines wore noth ing from the waist up. “I had to clean my glasses three times to make sure I was seeing right,” [he said. tips to | HOLLYWOOD \%~ Lately have been kicking around ideas of the best scenes of movie history.
