Whether or not the collapse was due to heart attack or heat pros- tration was not. definite, Lt. Buster Cerezo of the Key West police department said he saw Skelton lean over while stand- ing a few feet from the side plat- forfn door of the A. and B. “He seemed to be stooping and then he fell down. He just missed rolling into the water. I thought he had slipped at first, but when I went to help and turned him over, I saw his face was all purple so I yelled for the oxygen. He hit his . | head on a two by four plank when he fell,” Cerezo said. Skelton who is past 50 has been connected in the lighthouse service under the Coast Guard suj jon. He was helping with technical details since the particular scene had to do with the arrival of Coast Guard officers and a rescue squad who, in the film, are trying to save the “dying” Gilbert Roland. ton with it and the oxygen appar- atus before he knew what was hap- pening.

THIRD PLANE (Continued from Page One) i ‘ F a E 8 i : Fe ig i 3 5 i ifte fo pi g g a The World Today Living Place By JAMES MARLOW WASHINGTON (#—When this country began ‘to mobilize after the outbreak of the Korean War in 1950, there were two scheols of. thought on how it ‘should be done. Some people, exasperated at the Communists and worried whether worse was coming, wanted all-out mobilization, with the armed forces built up tremendously and fast and the whole economy ‘turned to defense. Others, including former Presi- dent Truman, felt the Russians. weren’t yet ready for a world war and that this country could build up to preparedness at a pace less than all-out and still keep the economy close to normal. That was the plan adopted and mobilization began. The basic in- tention was to produce arms, in- crease the size of the armed forces and get factories built or ready in such a way that if war really came they could go all-out quickly. The years 1954 or 1955 were con- sidered possibly critical years. So the defense build-up was aimed at being ready by that time. But the spending on defense was not to end then. Members of the Truman ad- ministration said this country might have to keep prepared for a generation. Yesterday President Eisenhower had a news conference, described beforehand as momentous, and was very critical of the Truman defense program. He called it a “crazy-quilt”. e Eisenhower called his policy a “radical” change. “This policy,” he said, “will not be tied to any magic, critical year which then has to be ‘stretched out’ because of economic or pro- duction problems, but will be based on the sounder theory that a very real danger not only ex- ists this year, but may continue to exist for years to com But where there is a “radical” difference between this viewpoint and the Truman administration’s viewpoint is difficult to see, al- though the President may at a later date explain more fully what he has in mind. The Truman administration had talked of building up by 1954 or 1955 to a point thought safe and then continuing to keep the coun- prepared. Eisenhower was asked how his ong-range policy differed from '| Truman’s. He said: If we have a maximum figure at a certain date, how can we level out and main-| tain what we must do in orderly fa: nomic factor secondary.

The North Koreans sent word through Moscow that three of the Ameri- cans were dead and three others missing. without making the eco- | omy and sound military plannin; should be tied in together.) . The difference between what Eisenhower is talking about and what the. Truman administration was talking about may lie in Eisenhower’s use of the word “maximum”, Maximum preparedness would call for all-out mobilization which was what was not done or planned. But at the same time Eisenhower announced that, whereas Truman had asked Congress to appropriate $72,900,000,000 for the fiscal year starting next July, he hoped to ask for only $64,400,000,000, a cut of 8% billion dollars. But there is a difference between what Congress votes in the way of money to be spent and the amount of money actually spent in a year. Congress may cut appro- priations 8% billion or more for next year and yet the spending next year may not be reduced even half that much. This is the reason: There is a backlog of contracts which will be filled in 1954 and which will have to be paid with money appropriated by Congress in previous years. For example, the government can’t, with money appropriated by Congress in one year, order tanks that- year and get and pay for them next year. The tanks may uot be ready for two to four years. The point is that Congress some years before voted money to pay for the tanks when delivered. The appropriation cut mentioned by Eisenhower may be felt a year from now rather than next year, which would mark a real leveling off of the defense program, U.S. EMBASSY IN MOSCOW IS REDUCED MOSCOW #—The U.

Bell Telepbone System More Important To Old People By CHRIS MACGILL When you get older, the place where you live takes on new im- portance. You'll probably spend much more time there. Its equip- ment for making life physically easier becomes a big factor. Perhaps you'll continue living where you’ve always lived, Per. haps you'll move into smaller quarters. Maybe you will move to a state with a mild climate like California or Florida. Maybe you'll decide on a home for the elderly where everything is tailored to suit your needs. Suppose you lean. towards mov- ing to another state. Sociologists advise thinking it over carefully. True, you may get a more agree- able climate and save some money growing vegetables the year around, using iess fuel to warm your house and the like. But against these advantages you must place the possible ill effects of pulling up your roots, leaving your circle uf friends andi , and contacts which may make it easier to get part-time work if you need it. A very new practice followed in some industries provides prere- tirement counseling for workers a few years in advance what they want to do, It's been found some types of People shouldn’t think about up- rooting themselves. Others will have no difficulty in establishing themselves wherever they go. The counselor helps the worker to know which type’ he is. Another factor to be considered is the amount of money you will have for your support, If your retirement will reduce your in- come sharply, you should take that into consideration in planning where you will live. The big hard- to-heat house with a large yard to keep up where you reared your family may be impractical for you now. It might be wise to do a little shopping around before you settle into any one home—stay as a temporary visitor at first one and |then another to size them up from the ingide before you make up your mind. The new trend in building insti- tutions for the aged is towards a more homey, domestic setting. Individual rooms should have private bathroom facilities where economically- possible, windows should be large und furniture should be of the type found in a home rather than the kind asso- ciated with institutions. It is recommended that at least some rooms in an old people’s home be only partially furnished so the occupants if they wish can decorate with their own familiar Possessions. Any place where an old person lives, from his own home to an institution, shouid be extra well heated and free from drafts. Peo- ple get more sensitive to cold as they age. Free Dance Sat.

The Dorseys spent most of the first 40 years of their lives fighting with each other. A fight in 1935 broke up their first band together. But perhaps Jimmy and Tommy, 49 and 47 respectively can play in harmony now. Music fans hope so, particularly those who recall the great Dorsey bands of the 30°s and 40’s, The two Shenandoah, Penn., boys havé added much to the legend and leg- acy of popular music, James Francis Dorsey was born into a coal mining family two! years before Thomas Francis Dor- sey. But as they grew up, Tommy was the one who started the fights. He was excitable and aggressive. Jimmy was shy, but had enough Irish in him to fight back. Their coal miner father, a self- taught musician, instructed them in the cornet when they were five and seven, and in 192. they joined | iends in leaving town to! try their luck in the music world. Their first job paid $285 a week for the whole band in a Baltimore | park. The Dorseys’ luck improved in New York, where they played! with the Paul Whiteman and Vin- cent Lopez bands. But Tommy wasn’t happy. “We're suckers,” he'd say. “We should have our own band.” “No,” said cautious Jimmy. “We're making goud money, Be | satisfied.” Tommy won out, and they formed the Dorsey brothers or- chestra, which had such stars as Glénn Miller, Charlie Spivak, Ray McKinley, Bunny Berigan and Bob Crosby. Despite their success, the brothers tiffed constantly, On the night of May 30, 1935, the | band was playing the Glen Island Casino in New York. Tommy start- ed the beat for “I'll Never Say Never Again.” Jimmy didn’t like the tempo and said so, Hot words followed, and Tommy stalked off the bandstand. He never returned. “I’m going to start my own ’ Tommy vowed. “I won't | Your Grocer SELLS Thabieoa | STAR * BRAND AMERICAN COFFEE and CUBAN ——TRY A POUND TODAY— RUGS CLEANED All Formal Garments chemically processed.
