THE CITIZEN FALLS INTO LINE WITH CORONATION GLAMOR BUILD-UP Recently The Citizen has published many columns about the approaching coronation of Queen Elizabeth II of Great Britain. The stories were supplied The Citizen by the Associated Press, which keeps its fingers close on the public pulse throughout the world, ‘ But it is not only evident to the AP that the American people have a keen interest in Elizabeth but also to the British end other nationalists, Lord Raglan, a British peer, remarked Friday that so great is Americans’ interest in the coming coronation they should arrange to have a sovereign themselves, The human mind 1s still in so immature a state it is an easy prey to glamorization, whether it is of a queen, a movie actor, a baseball player, or anybody else. Elizabeth II is good, gracious and beautiful, but with the world’s glamorizing spotlight turned on her we are wont to forget her sterling womanhood and think of such things as “majesty, royal blood” and other fetiches that have beset the human race as far back as /history records. The pomp and pageantry of coronations today are even more elaborate than they were when Egypt looked upon her rulers as gods. Judging from the newspaper stories, the crowning of Elizabeth II probably will exceed in strut and splash and glitter and magnificence general- ly any other coronation in the world’s history. But let the British have their “fun,” though it should be pointed out that Lord Raglan is sorely deficient in his concept of Americans’ attitude toward the ¢onoration. Americans don’t want a king or a queen, Indeed, they are stumped when they try to figure out how so great a people as the Britons can “fall”for so-called royalty, Americans are avidly interested in any person or anything that is glamorized, But the glamor wears off, whether it pertains to a queen, a movie actress, or a baseball player. The glamor in the coronation will die among Americans after the ceremony and they will consider Elizabeth as only another queen, but among the Britons the glamor she en- genders in them will last as long as she reigns. Newspapers, a few weeks ago, ran a story in which it was said that Elizabeth II probably will be the last “royal ruler” Great Britain will have. But that conjecture is wrong. The centuries-old fetich for “royalty” still has a stronghold on the British mind. Britons generally would shudder at the thought of England without a king or a queen. , ‘The good old days are best forgotten. BUCKLEY EY YOU'VE GOT TO KEEP THEM BALANCED TO WIN Today’s Business Mirror NEW YORK (#—A tree-planting spurt in Brazil may bring good news to American coffee drinkers. New trees will start bearing in another year or so énd coffee pro- duction may catch up again with the growing world demand. If so, there might be welcome easing in the price pressure that sent the wholésale price of the green cof- fee bean from about 13 cents in| 1945 to around 55 cents today. Tree planting started after the 1949 spurt in prices here pulled the long depressed Brazilian in- dustry out of the dumps. Trees start bearing after they are five years old, And keep at it until they’re 50. Brazil has opened up an entirely new coffee growing zone in Parana where 300 million young trees are now maturing. The price spurt also. has increased research interest THE WORLD TODAY By JAMES MARLOW WASHINGTON w—Every time President. Eisenhower and Sen. Taft disagree on the record the guessing game begins again: Does this mean a split between them? At times the relationship between the President and the Ohio Repub- lical who is his party’s leader in the Senate must have been trying on both men. It has had its ups and downs. But they haven’t split yet. And there’s no reason to believe they after their latest difference, on Korea, It would probably be disastrous for the party if they did, This is the party’s first chance to perform after 20 years in the political wilderness. The Republi- cans contro! Congress with only the slimmest kind of majority over the Democrats, The next congressional elections are in 1954. If the Republicans split into Taft and Eisenhower factions, which would paralyze any party program, disgusted voters might call the Democrats back. Eisenhower, with great patience, has leaned over backwards to get along not only with Taft but the entire Congress. Less obvious, because not pub- licly known, are the compromises, if any, which Taft may have mad with Eisenhower in the closed-door, White House conferences which the President regularly holds with Republican leaders. What compromises Eisenhower may have made at those con ferences are not known, either. But publicly, Taft, who seems / more emotional than the President, has exhibited less concern for Eisenhower's feelings and opinions than Eisenhower has shown for his. The Durkin case was an exam- ple. Martin Durkin, a life-long Democrat, was a union official who wanted the Taft-Hartley Labor Act | repealed. When Eisenhower, as a } gesture of good will toward labor picked Durkin as secretary of [labor, Taft reacted with a quick {and public: “Incredibi-.* Would this mean 2 split?

Brazilian planters have also turned to irrigation and to wider use of fertilizers to increase yields. Horacio Cintra Leite, who rep- resents the Brazilian Institute of Coffee in this country and also is president of the Pan American Cof- fee Bureau, sees little change in price for awhile. He blames high prices on the rising costs of labor and materials and the general price inflation in Brazil and the rest of the world. Labor is the iargest item in coffee raising, he says. And Brazilians get all stirred up whenever Americans talk about buying less coffee, since the U. S. coffee habit meaus a lot to Brazil. The United States bought 2% billion dollars—about 50 per cent of it from Brazil. The coffee in- dustry inside this country involves some 1,300 roasters and runs to about 2% billion dollars gross an- nually. Leite says that in the depression of the thirties people stopped buy- ing so much coffee at just the time that Brazil had a lot of new trees in production. Coffee piled up in mountains, It wasn’t until 1949 that rising world consumption and _ falling Brazilian production finally used up the last of the coffee surpluses. Since 1945, Leite says, the world has been wanting more coffee than was being produced and prices have gone up in two big jumps— with the 1949 shortage when the surpluses were used up; and after the outbreak of the Korean fight- ing. HAL BOYLE SAYS LONDON—# — Coronation chit- chat: Many Americans have the idea next week’s coronation may be the last in British Empire history, and some English hold this view, too. “The queen is young and will have a long reign, but will the throne survive after her?” one said. ‘‘After all times are chang- ing, and we are changing with; them.” This has been a century of war, privation and suffering for tain’s common peopie, And the enn- trast between their own pinched way of life and the pomp and pag- entry of the royal {amily stirs some to grumble and question: “Is it worth the cost?” Emrys Hughes, a Laborite Welsh- man, startled the House of Com- mons last summer by proposing that the monarchy be ditched ard Buckingham Palace turned into an apartment house. But the shocked Conservatives went right ahead and voted the usual annual royal budget of $1,336,000. They also re- fused a Laborite demand that the yearly allowance of the Duke of Edinburgh be chopped from $112,- 000 down to $28,000. to stay in town this week and look at the decorations.

But while many here may grum- ble at the high cost of maintaining the monarchy, there is little real evidence that Queen Elizabeth’s son, fair-haired Prince Charlie, will grow up unemployed. The crown is firm in the hearts of most British. You have only to walk around the bleak streets of London: to see the signs. The great thoroughfares, of course, dre form- ally decorated with flaring banners. But in the back streets the work- ing people have caught the coro- nation fever too. Thousands of small homes have a portrait of the Queen in the window and the leg- end “Long May She Reign.” In one block 40 families have put out 750 flags. They chipped in to raise about $325 for the decora- tions. The average rent in these homes is about $2.80 a week, the average w: ner in the area gets less than $25 a week. “We're proud of our show,” one sald. ‘That spirit is typical.

So says Ann Miller, who is now tapping her way through “Kiss Me Kate,” the first big musical to be done in wide screen and three dimensions. The actors are doing their work under huge banks of bright lights. “The other day the temperature on the set was 120 degrees,” re- ported long-stemmed Annie. “Then numbers in front of three mirrors. You can imagine how hot that was!” The extra lights are needed for two reasons: the camera’s range is wider and more of the set must be lighted; the set must be bright- er because of the light lost by viewing the picture through tinted glasses. While the movie set is hot, the rest of the stage is air conditioned to a cool temperature. The change of temperature has been causing sinus trouble and colds for Ann, Kathryn Grayson and other mem- bers of the cast and crew. “And then we're supposed to act gay and carefree in front of the camera!” Ann exclaimed . . New dimensions in movies are readily available in the Los An- geles area, at least. Theatrical pages list ads for eight different attractions, all with some new kind of gimmick. Now if the studios would only get together on one kind of system the rest of the theaters might be able to do busi- ness, too. . « Glenn Ford reports that his pic- ture, based on the life of golfer Ben Hogan, is doing good business in re-runs. But now it’s called “The Ben Hogan Story,” as it should have been in the first place. Ford said he never saw such disappointment 2s when Hogan} learned his biography: was being billed as “Follow the Sun”—The story of two happy kids from Texas” . Arch Oboler has never revealed the cost of his pioneering 3D epic, “Bwana Devil.” But from a re- liable source I hear that it ran $200,000. The bill came to around $300,000 with the tedious cutting and processing. Not a bad invest- ment for a film that is bringing in millions. FAWTU Course Completed By Naval Officer Ensign Henry G.

By WAYNE OLIVER NEW YORK #—With the aid of jets and souped-up P51 fighters, CBS and NBC hope to telecast films of the coronation Tuesday when the sun is only a little lower in the sky here than it had been in London during the event. They'll race the sun to take full- est advantage of the five-hour dif- iference between London time and Eastern time and the additional three-hour difference for Pacific time. Radio listeners can hear the event as it happens if they want to get up that early, The official coronation ceremony is set for 11:15 a. m., Britisn summer time, when it will be only 5:15 a. m., Eastern Standard Time and 2:15 a. m., Pacific Standard Time CBS estimates it may be able to be on the as early as 3:30 p. m., EST, a telecast of first films of the coronation.

CBS will fly its films from Goose Bay to Montreal for telecasts over its station there and, by network link, over its station at Tronto. A link southward from Toronto to U.S. network facilities will enable ABC to pick up the telecasts. NBC and CBS also will open their TV networks early—at 4:15 a. m., EST—to carry radioed de- scriptions of the event, accompan- ied by still photographs, newsreel clips made previously, and other visual aids. The Dumont TV net- | work decided to pass up the hot | competition and will do a preview | program Sunday night. | On the radio side, Mutual and NBC start at 4:15 a. m., EST, and ; ABC and CBS 15 minutes later.

The weather could play a big role in both the TV and recs plan- ning.
