Through the Voice of America, the State Department claims to have exposed this lie over and over again, but the department admits that “it does not die easily” and that it remains “one of our greatest problems in colonial and newly independent areas.” Senator McCarran (D-Nev.) chairman of the Senate appropriation sub-committee handling State Department funds, was recently critical in his comment on a pamphlet summarizing the work of the Voice of America and other phases of the United States Information and education program (USIE). The Senator said that in seeking to build international friendships, America must “abandon the superior, almost patronizing tones of a rich and moral uncle addressing poor relatives. We need a fighting policy aimed at the ‘soonest possible collapse of the Red hierarchy, and we need techniques of psychological warfare to match such a policy.” ' It is true that the State Department, through the USIE program, has had only partial success in converting friends for America. This is particularly true with refer- ence to India and Iran, The Iranians are not completely convinced that our interest in their independence is an all- out interest which will remain strong regardless of interna- tional developments. The job of convincing the people of India that Soviet imperialism is the true and real threat over India ioday is a hard one. There are a great many people in that country who are die-hards in the stereotype belief that the United States is the personification of Western Imperialism. While the State Department’s Education and Inform- ation program is not meeting with complete success every- where, it is serving a very useful purpose in this mixed up world of propaganda and counter-propaganda. The potential audience for the Voice of America, a part of the USIE program, has been estimated at 300 mil- lion. Sometimes as many as 40 thousand letters are receiv- ed from listeners in a single month. . Each day news and background information are wired to 67 USIE missions, which distribute the information in | local languages to local editors. Through some 10 thousand foreign newspapers and magazines, this factual] informa- tion is estimated to reach about 100 million people outside of communist controlled areas. The test of a real friend can be observed when the dollar gets involved. Any young person who is successful must face the usual array of rumors about him spread by jealous minds. HOLLYWOGD NOTES By JAMES BACON (For vacationing Bob Thomas) HOLLYWOOD W—The movies are up to one of their old tricks— rediscovering an actor who has always been great. The actor is Eddie Albert and the amazing thing about his re- discovery is that it came about in competition with the actor who is generally regarded as the world’s greatest — Sir Laurence Olivier. Albert is the brash, traveling salesman of “Carrie” who woos Heroine Jennifer Jones, an Oscar- winner herself, and then loses her to the suave Olivier. Good as Olivier and Jones were, many a critic came out of the press showing with comments something like this: “That Eddie Albert sure is a great actor. Where’s he been late- Q The 44-year-old Albert (he looks much younger) was a popular | movie star before the war. He started off strong in “Brother Rat,” the same role he had played on Broadway . Then came a hitch with the U. S. Navy in the South Pacific, and Hollywood soon forgot. His post- hog career never quite hit the big e. I thought I'd find out from Ed- die why Hollywood, constantly searching for new faces, just as constantly overlooks its own prov- en performers. I picked the wrong day, it turned out. I looked up Eddie at a local television station where he has been a 25-hour a week disc jockey on a daytime program. It was his last day on the show before a summer layoff. He was leaving for Rome the next day. Willie Wyler, the director who | made “Carrie”, had just signed Albert to make “Roman Holiday” with Gregory Peck and Audrey | Hepburn. A studio source consid- ered this bit of news significant. Wyler, it seems, seldom uses the same actor in two consecutive pic- tures. Midway in Albert’s TV stint, an old movie is shown. This gives him an hour’s break—long enough, I had hoped, to learn what I want- ed to know. He ,dashed from the TV set, grabbed me by the arm and head- ed for the parking lot. “Come along to my lawyer's of- fice with me. I have to sign my will.” As we drove along, he quipped about all the red tape incident to a European trip. “How do the people who can’t afford a lawyer make a trip to Europe?” His lawyer gave him a copy of the will. it.” He signed it without reading it soon we were riding along in the car. “Eddie,” I began. ‘Now that. . .” He interrupted with: Wait a min- ute. I have to stop here and pick jsp my watch. $3,000 in a watch that only cost $40.” Two more stops and we were back at the TV station. “Let's sit here.” Eddie pointed of it beaten and worn, the other looking brand new. “One of my sponsors is a re- upholstering firm,” he explain “Eddie,” I began again, “now | that Hollywood has rediscovered Two stagehands picked up the sofa. Another assistant handed Ed- die a rebuilt vacuum cleaner. He was on. “Gosh, that hour went fast,” re- marked Eddie, shaking hands “Hope you found out what you wanted to know.” By JAMES BACON (Fer vacationing Bob Thomas) HOLLYWOOD —One of Holly- | wood’s better dressed young ac- | jtresses wears $8 dress and bathing suits—all made by her mama. This bit of fashion intelligence was gleaned quite accidentally, It started with a call from a Para mount press agent who raved, as only a press agent can rave, about “the new Terry Moore.” It seems that this shapely young girl, freshly divorced from Grid Star Glenn Davis, had Nossomed into a dramatic actress in “Come Back, Little Sheba.” Her role of the co-ed in the movie version of the famed Broadway play was her first big movie break.

Shepherds in South Italy pre- sented the eagle and the fox to the pontiff as symbols of the diffi- culties of their work and the dan- ger to their flocks from rapacious animals. The Pontiff expressed thanks and ‘sent the pair to the Rome Zoo. very summery and Terry had a golden tan that set it off well “I think this dress cost about $8, all told,” she answered. “Sale?” “No, my mother made it. She makes practically everything I | wear.” Terry disclosed that her mother, Mrs. Luella Koford, got in the business of designing Terry’s clothes via bathing suits. The shapely actress is tiny every place but the bust, which measures 36 inches. “It was a real job buying bath- ing suits for me,” she said. “We'd have to buy two suits—a size 12 and a size 10. I'd wear the size |12 top and the size 10 bottom.” Since bathing suits are a basic commodity among young Holly- wood starlets, the necessity of buy- ing two suits to get one can even be too expensive for cheesecake art. “So,” Terry continued, ‘mother started making my bathing suits. | She molds them right to my form | and even makes them out of all sorts of material—even drapery fabrics. I'm always getting com- ‘ pliments on them.” | She owns at least 30 bathing suits } and estimates about $60 invested in the lot. Mamma’s labor comes for free.

And the hotels, trans- portation and other service com- panies love the more than 13 mil- lion Americans who go to some 22,000 of them annually. The political shindigs this month in Chicago are spectacular, but only a drop in the bucket to what goes on around the country. Trade, professional, civic, social and other organizational get-to- gethers this year will cost around 216 million dollars in hotel rooms, meals, entertainment, cabs, tips— and the little woman’s shopping. the airlines are out to get 15 mil- lion dollars in convention travel. Gasoline stations sell an unesti- mated number of gallons to con- vention goers in their cars. Big conventions like the Shriners and the American Legion draw around 100,000 persons. But the average convention is much small- er—around 350, the World Conven- tion Dates, trade publication in the field, estimates. And about 4,500 of the meetings have less than 100 in attendance. It is a known fact that | akout one-third of the men now bring their wives along—is a chief problem, according to the Manual on Conventions and Meetings by George Dak}. He says the best thing is to get them out of the hotel during the session hours— certainly the first day, and on trips as far from the convention site as possible. The second day’s entertainment program for the ladies can be slower. And the third day they'll pack. People in charge of conventions work far in advance—some on their 1954 plans already. It’s an intricate job. There are associa- tions concerned with conventions, in large part—like the Interna- jtional Association of Convention Bureaus, and the Hotel Sales Man- agement Association International | (which has 400 delegates at its | own convention). The Department of Commerce lists some 4,000 national trade, pro- fessional and civie associations and | 2,000 state trade associations.

In 15 months he sold 20 million dollars in video programs for an adver- tising firm before going into busi- ness for himself. He currently is producing short films, two radio shows, and “Tales of Tomorrow,” a pioneering adult science-fiction TV program for the ABC network. He hopes the latter | will start a trend away from crime! shows, which he thinks the public is weary of. As to that bright unknown fel- low in Oshkosh—or anywhere else |—who wants to crack television, Foley summed up: “By all the rules and regula- tions, an outsider can’t crash TV with only a single idea.
