SLIM ON THE SATELLITES Field Marshall Sir William Slim, chief of the British Imperial General Staff, has suggested that the West re- vise its current policy of activities opposing Communism | as an evil over all the world. Marshall Slim believes there , is a chance to split the Communist world by concentrating on the wooing of Communist-dominated countries. In a recent speech before some 200 Allied staff offi- cers at Supreme Headquarters, Marshall Slim warned against invariably identifying Communism with the Sov- iet Union. He noted that Communism was always aggres- sive when directed from Moscow. However, he is report- ed to have said that, on the other hand, Communism in other countries, under other conditions, has not always | | three months before they were en- |tion of “Rocky Mountain,” and | { | swept | my parents in Kansas and said, |*May I have the honor of your | been an international menace. Marshall Slim pointed to the case of Yugoslavia, as | an example, in this argument. His suggestion to the West, | is to concentrate on wooing nations out of the Soviet orbit, | as has been partly the case with Yugoslavia. Marshall | Slim makes an interesting point when he claims that try- ing to bottle up Communism in every area of the world is | too much of an undertaking for the free world to attempt. | He says that, rather, the free world should concen- trate on trying to split the Communists and encourage Communist nations to throw off the shackles of Moscow domination. The Slim approach might be a major avenue of opportunity for the Allies, and his plan is certainly a refreshing proposal in the never-ending cold war with Soviet imperialism. | If the West ean ever begin to break the ties which | bind Moscow and satellites, the West will-create a prob- lem which will overshadow the question of expansion in Moscow, and force the Russian Communists to concentrate their attention on established areas of domination. In forcing the Russian Communists to pull in their horns and attend to serious disaffection near home, the West would have reduced the threat of Russian aggression in more flistant areas of the globe. If you think advertising is a costly gamble, chances | Bre you'll never hit it rich. | | You can get more than your money's worth some times but it is a hard process to continue. Judging from the performance of some of the cur- rent singing rages, we have concluded there isn’t much to this business of groaning after all or? « Ped HOLI Pat he third Mrs Flynn, says that she and her ad venturous hu. 1 get along just dandy. This, despite the almost continuous sniping of the gossipers who have tried to toll a knell for | the latest Flynn marriage ever since it began almost two years ago. “That's right.” panted Patrice between strenuous dance rehears- als for “She’s Back on Broadway.” “It'll be two years next month. I guess a lot of people didn’t think it would last that long. “But we get along fine. We have a lot of laughs when we're togeth- jer. And we're together a lot more than people thir. Although we’ve both done a lot of traveling, we've never been apart more than a week or so. At least we weren't until the picture that Errol’s mak- ing in England, ‘The Sea Rogue.’ We'll be separated four months this time, and that’s tough to take. But I'll be seeing him soon, either in England or at our other home in Jamaica.” | The Kansas-born redhead seems a good match for Flynn. She also is an active individual and ap- pears to have a wanderlust. “In another year or so, I hope | we can co-ordinate our travels,” she remarked. ‘By that time, I should be able to work it so I only have to work half a year, and so will Errol. Then we'd like to spend six months in Jamaica and six months here. “Whatever happens, I want to keep working. I’m a dancer, and I can’t stand to be idle for long. After a few weeks of doing noth- ing, I feel the need to get my body in shape again.” | Recalling the courtship, she said Flynn had been a fast operator. They had known each other only 5 tions Section, on the gaged. That was during the loca- | last Saturday.

But it is well played and light-hearted enough to win the favor of most movie goers. The story deals with man’s tradi- tional search for youth. This time Cary Grant and Ginger Rogers are the experimenters, and their excursions to an earlier age are often hilarious.
