Mr. Churchill told the House of Commons that the decision to ban television ‘may well be reviewed.” Jf the ban is lifted, many citizens of European coun- tries ahd of the United States will be able to see British coronation scenes for the first time in full detail. Hereto- fore, the newsreels had to be relied upon by most people and they gave only a short treatment at best, Television stations in the United States may not be able to pick up the actual event, at the time, though they _will surely be able to show films to millions of TV view- ers across the country within a short time of the event itself, Tf you are one who goes in for such ceremonies, there is a good chance that you will get your fill of it next June and that no detail will miss the view of the collective world.

Syn god Thursday, November 20, 1952 Publisher Dear Neighbor: One of the most controversial subjects of each Congress is Con- gressional immunity, What is it, how did it originate, or why doesn’t Congress eliminate it are but a few of the questions that come up on this topic each year. We need only to dig into history and look at our Constitution to determine the origin of Congres- sional immunity. .History: tells us that back when our founding fath- ers drew up the Constitution, they were of the opinion that such im- munity would provide for free de- bate and would remove the threat of legal entanglements that might be employed against a Member of Congress for the sole purpose of delaying consideration or enact- ment of any bill. They envisioned that Members of Congress in debating a measure might be harrassed by law suits for slander by opponents of their views to’such an extent that the Senators and Congressmen would spend a major portion of their wate By BOB THOMAS HOLLYWOOD (#—How to shoot Jane Russell and Marilyn Monroe —with a camera, That's our prob- lem for today. These two outstanding glamor dolls start work together this week in a modernized film version of “Gentlemen Prefer Blondes.” They possess two of the most photo- graphed frames in history, but un- til now they have generally posed alone. That presents the problem of how to shoot them together. I discussed the issue with Gene Kornman, who has been photo- | graphing glamor girls at: 20th-Fox | for 20 years, He said he didn’t an- ticipate much trouble. Marilyn got a good build-up from the photographer. “‘She’s a smart time defending law suits in court gal when it comes to posing, and rather than enacting legislation in| she’s easy to get along with too. the halls of Congress.

While, we can readily understand the good and honorable intentions of our pioneer Senators and Con- gressmen and appreciate their con- cern to permit free debate without fear of imposition of stalling le- gal tactics by the opposition, we know they neyer intended their ac- tions to furnish a Member of Con- sniping ground on individuals to his disliking. i Yes, while Congressional immuni- ty permits free debate, it also means in effect that a member of the House or Senate can take the floor during debate on some issue and make a false statement about somebody or run down some in- dividual’s character or reputation without being subject to a law suit for slander. Although these state- ments are printed and published in the Congressional Record, this im- munity protects that House or Sen- ate member from a libel action as well, E There is no question this im- munity has been abused. This is especially true of some members of taken a great deal of pleasure in | the fancy struck them. You are not alone if you wonder why Congress has not eliminated | this immunity. A glance at the }record shows that numerous at- | tempts to eliminate such immunity has been undertaken by Congress but im each case the same fear of limiting free debate exists that pre- vailed when the Constitution was drafted; therefore no action was taken. How does your Congressman feel about Congressional immunity Well, while 1 appreciate and favor free debate, 1 am firmly con- vinced that some safeguard must be provided to prevent the charac ter and reputation of innocent ple from being smeared by 1 city-seeking Congressmen and £7" ators. yours, BILL LANT The volese Vesvius hes { sished knowledge which 3 voicanologists to predict erup of other volcanoes.

If she said she was too tired or busy, I asked June to pose. And sure enough, when Betty Tooked out and saw June posing for | pictures, she’d come out of her room and volunteer to work too. “I had another technique. When- ever I had Betty in a picture with June, I always placed Betty on the left. Then the caption always put Betty Grable’s name first.” Gene has lensed virtually every glamor girl on the 20th-Fox lot. He said that each one required a different technique. “Marilyn Monroe is better when she closes her eyes just before the picture is snapped,” he said. ‘‘She takes her time to get ready. Then jwhen I give her the signal, she opens her eyes and blossoms out like a rose coming out of the bud. “Jean Peters is a fast poser. She can be standing with’a blank expression.

KELLY WASHINGTON (®—Congress_to- day opened an investigation into tax-exempt philanthropic and ed- ucational foundations with the de- clared purpose of finding whether any of them are engaging in “un- American and subversive activ- ities.” The inquiry embraces more than 600 such organizations, in- cluding the Rockefeller, Carnegie and Ford Foundations, whose ac- tivities reach into almost every corner of the world. Chairman of the special House investigating unit is Rep. Cox (D-Ga). The other members are Reps. Hays (D-Ark), O'Toole (D- NY), Forand (D-RI), Simpson (R-Pa), Goodwin (R-Mass) and Reece (R-Tenn). Under a resolution sponsored by Cox and approved by the House during the last session of Con- gress, the committee has specific instruetions to determine “which such foundations and organizations are using their resources for pur- poses other than the purposes for which they were established, and especially to determine which such foundations. and organizations are using their resources for un-Amer- ican and subversive activities or for purposes not in the interest or tradition of the United States.” The committee said the first week of hearings would be de- voted primarily to establishing the |history and growth of the tax- | exempt foundations, their mem- | bers, resources and income, their {impact on society and their ac- complishmegts in various fields. Cox added, however, that he personally is “Jess inclined to | point the accusing finger” at the organizations than he was before the committee’s 15-member staff | began laying the groundwork for the inquiry. He said it ‘ered that the foundations are an Gettysburg Address Given By ARTHUR EDSON (For James Marlow) WASHINGTON # — Eighty-nine years ago Wed., as soon as the Baltimore Glee Club had finished, the tall homely man pulled a paper from his pocket and began to read a speech in his high, unmusical voice, The crowd at Gettysburg, Pa,, probably didn’t pay too much at- tention. “Fourscore and seven years ago,” Abraham Lincoln . “our fathers brought forth on this continent a new nation, conceived in liberty and dedicated to the Proposition that all men are cre- ated equal.” :: After all, there had been plenty of speechmaking already. Especially from Edward Everett, who had been a U, S. senator, a governor of Massachusetts, a cab- inet member, a minister to Great Britain and president of Harvard. As the nation’s top orator, Ever- ett, in his hour and 57-minute speech, touched all the bases, in- cluding a description of how the early Greeks cared for those who were killed in battle. Lincoln stuck to his own nation, and its awful problems. “Now we are engaged in a great civil war testing whether that na- tion, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long en- dure,” he said. “We are met on a great battle- field of that war, We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as-a final resting place for those who here gave their liyes that that nation might live: “It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this. “But, in a larger sense, we can- not dedicate, we cannot consecrate, we cannot hallow, this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it far above our poor power to add or detract.” Oddly, Lincoln almost didn’t make the speech; and for a good reason. No one asked him to. He had been invited to the ceremonies earlier. After he had accepted, the sponsors decided it would be okay to have the President say a “few appropriate remarks.” To us now, some of the reaction to the speech seems curious. The Harrisburg, Pa., Patriot and Union said: “We pass over the silly remarks of the President; for the credit of the nation we are willing that the veil of oblivion shall be dropped over them and that they shall no more be re- peated or thought of.” And from the Chicago Times came this: “The cheek of every American must tingle with shame as he reads the silly, flat, and dish-watery utterances . . .” be 3 himself didn’t seem to think had a bell-ringer. “The world will little note nor long remember what we say here,” he said, “but it can never forget what they did here.” Lincoln was ready for his windup. “It is for us, the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the un- finished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced,” he said. “It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion — that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom, and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.” The tall man sat down. He had been expected to make some per- funectory remarks and probably he got only perfunctory applause. It didn’t matter.
