ARROWSMITH i al bz z F iE H eile Columbine. remarks about the President’s privacy came when a fi igiel Hi i : z 3 Por a driving experience that “I’m not doing any politicking at the moment,” Hoover responded with a smile. The 80-year-old former President didn’t say what prompted his re-| marks. But they may have been touched off by an incident which reportedly angered Eisenhower. The President fished for trout last Friday at Pine, Colo. and some reporters wrote at the time that he exceeded the daily legal limit of 10 fish. There was at least one published account that he hooked 15 to 25 trout. Since then Eisenhower reported- ly has told friends—Hoover among them—that he is fed up with fish- ing where he gets no privacy. At Pine, a big crowd of villagers, tourists and newsmen watched from a public highway, close to . | the stream, Eisenhower Signs Bill He Formerly Meant To Kill ‘ FRASER, Colo. (#—President Eisenhower changed his mind to- day and signed into law a bill he previously had announced he was ig. “It now appears that an error was made,” the President said in @ prepared statement. The bill directs the secretary of the interior to turn over to Mrs. Pearl O. Marr of Crossroads, N.M., the oil, gas and other mineral in- terests which were reserved by the government at the time the property involved was deeded to her husband John. Eisenhower said he decided last Friday to “‘pocket-veto” the bill— kill it — because the Interior De- partment had advised him ‘there were no special equities” in the ease to warrant a departure from precedent.

Early Action Sought On SEATO Plans By DON HUTH MANILA ® — The Philippines today sought early action on its “Pacific charter” against-Commu- nist aggression by committees do- ing spade work for an eight-nation Southeast Asia security conference. President Ramon Magstysay said he will seek adoption by the conference opening here Monday of a four-point charter pledging the eight nations to: 1. Support the rights of all peo- ples in Southeast Asia to freedom and independence. 2. Take steps insuring the pro- gress of Southeast Asian nations toward self-rule and independence. 3. Work jointly for economic, so- cial and cultural development of Southeast Asian countries to raise standards of living and to strength- en their economies and social se- curity programs. 4. Act jointly and individually against any force that would at- tempt to undermine or destroy the sovereignty, territoria. integrity or freedom of Southeast Asian gov- ernments. A Philippines spokesman said his government hopes to have these principles, closely resembling the Atlantic Charter, incorporated in the preamble or text of a nine-point treaty draft now before working committees. If this is rejected, he aid, the Philippines will ask the eight mem- ber nations to adopt the principles as a separate resolution when the foreign ministers convene Monday. * The Philippines also indicated it will carry to the foreign ministers its fight for a Southeast Asian col- lective security pact calling for im- mediate retaliation if one member is attacked. j The island of Cyprus was first leased to Great Britain in 1878 by Turkey and was annexed to Great Britian during World War,L will really pen your eyes, just ride afew blocks on the U.

Arthur Sawyer Post No. 28, American Legion Meetings: . Executive Committee, Tuesday, 8 p.m., September 7, Post Home, Stock Island. Regular*Post Meeting, Wednes- day, September 8, 8 p.m., Post ‘Home, Stock Island. Voiture 728, 40 and 8, Friday, September 3, 8 p.m., Post Home, Stock Island. x kk Post Meeting: Having attended the last Post Meeting and Initiation ceremony by the Key Wést Guard of Honor, I was rather dismayed by the lack of attendance at the meeting. I am unable to understand why so many Legionnaires do not attend the meetings. We don’t have but two a month and those at oppor- tune times for most. It gets rather discouraging to those who do attend because they have to carry the brunt of the work load for the many programs we carry on. With a larger at- tendance more would be available to take their fair share of these programs. I think everything has been done that is possible to get them to the meetings, except a couple, but still no one shows up. I would say we had less than 50 at this last meeting and for a club with a membership the size of ours, it is downright dis- graceful. I know that some (even I) get a little tired of the bickering that prevails in any club but one of the things we should forget when we attend these meetings are our personal little battles: When we forget and let our per- sonal feelings enter into~ the meetings, it discourages the new members that attend. Acting Post Commander Lewis requested at the last meeting what I am driving at: Leave your battles outside when you at- tend the meeting and take care of the problems at hand, That, in my opinion, is sage advice. I believe if we all observed this, we would have more at the meet- ings and have a harder working Post. *~* * What Your Card Should Mean. Te You: If your American Legion Mem- bérship card could speak, this is what it would probably say: “I am documentary evidence of your unselfishness—your will- ingness to assist other veterans who are less fortunate than your- self—because your membership helps to support the American Legion’s national Rehabilitation and Welfare service program on |community, . state, and national levels. “I am proof, beyond dispute, of your compassionate interest in the tragic plight of the widows and orphans of the men with whom you served in the Armed Forces— because your membership is sup- porting the fight for adequate pen- sions for the nation’s widows and orphans. “I am a testimonial that you did not discard your love for America when you swapped your | military uniform for civilian gar- ‘ments—because your membership gives added strength to the Amer- ican -Legion’s national securtiy | policies. | “I am a witness to your contin- |ued devotion to the welfare of |the United States—because your membership helps support the American Legion’s ‘program’ of education in Americanism for all citizens. “I testify to your faith in the | basic principle that the youth of |today must be properly trained |to assume the duties of citizen- | ship in the future—because your | membership helps the. American | Legion foster a constructive youth | activity program. | “I am a symbol of your con- | tempt for communism .and for all other subversive ‘doctrines—be- | cause your membership is making jit possible for the American | Legion to fight these evils with | unrelenting vigor on every front. ‘I certify that you are a Civic- | minded citizen, one who displays |an honest concern for the wel- |fare of all citizens—because your |mmebership helps activate | American Legion sponsorship of \of a great variety of community service projects.” The above was written by a | patient of Bay Pines (Florida) Hos- |pital. We should heed those words! | 2, tee This ‘N That: | At the last meeting we had two speakers on the program. First jwas Charles Curry, the local Chairman of Civil Defense. He | gave the structure of the Civil | Defense Program and the help | that would be needed to carry it | through. His remarks were well | received and the Legion Post here | will do their utmost. to couperate | with him on Civil Defense, a very | important program in Key West. The other speaker, a member of the Post, Legionnaire Webb | Spoke on the organization of the | Key West World War I Barracks. Boe group has been inp all over the country into An organ- ; | | -Legionitems By JUDSON STEPHENS, ization composed of all veterans of the first World War. Their mission is to help all of the vet- }erans of the World War I, their widows and orphans. Noticed: in the AP releases on the National Convention that they are having a good time in Wash- ington. Sure wish I could have joined them too. I think they have a battle coming up over the membership: regulations .of ‘the :40 and Eight. Also over the censure. Senator. McCarthy. I personally don’t like to see the Legion take any stand over the censure of the Senator mainly because it is- political... i See the new air conditioner has been installed in the office of’ the Post.’ Also heard that Carl Saw: yer had done some painting at the Home. Garl always seems to find something like that to do, Others could him out. Note that the membership is lagging. Now is a good time to get‘ yoir dues in before that Christmas holiday ‘feeling catches up to us. It isn’t long. Noted a pat on the back from Dick Hunter the other day in The Citizen-- about the -Legionitems. Thanks, Dick. You know, I guess I can’t ever be too thankful to The Citizen for letting me do this weekly column: This is the best way I know of letting the members of the Post as well as visiting Legionnaires know what is going on. Hearts and flowers to Margaret Foresman for giving us the time she spends correcting my errors, Without her big help, Legionitems would never make it. I think now is-a good- time to remind all of you: Legionnaires about safety. The Post is rep- resented on the Safety Committee so I-remind you now that the Labor Day Weekend is just around v ‘this weekend so you will be able to. attend the next Legion, meeting. I wouldn't like to list taps in the column next week for any Legionnaire. This can be averted: by careful driving. Don’t have that last cool one before you drive. Less drink- ing and more thinking will pre- vent many accidents for this week- end. Wee “Get 5 for 55” * HOLLYWOO NOTES By BOB THOMAS HOLLYWOOD (Irving Berlin hasn’t had a new hit song in 3% years, but he isn’t complaining. Some songwriters are. They claim that their established talents are passed up by the record com- panies and disc jockeys in favor of unknown writers of novelty songs. The issue has even reached the courts. But Berlin is staying ; out of it. “Sure, I haven't had a hit since I did ‘Call Me Madam,” said the veteran songsmith. “I put out a couple of songs that I thought were pretty good. One of them, ‘For the Very First Time,’ was recorded by Tony Martin, and I thought it was a good ballad. But | it never got “off the ground. “For the past 3% years, I have been living off my ASCAP fees (payment when a song is per- formed). They tell me there are more pianos being sold than ever before, but people don’t buy sheet music. My music publishing firm doesn’t make money. “But I don’t think you can knock the songs you hear today. I think songs like ‘Tennessee Waltz’ and “Goodnight Irene’. are as good as any you can find. Sure, there are a lot of crazy songs, but we had "em in the old days too.” ‘ Berlin will doubtless get back in| the hit column this fall when his | new film “White Christmas” is re- leased. He has several new songs in the show. He believes three— “Count. Your Blessings,” ‘Love, You Didn’t Do Right by Me,” “The Best Things Happen While You're Dancing”—have hit possibilities. “But how can you tell?” he sighed. “You never know what the public will go for. I had a song in ‘Annie Get Your Gun’ which was meant to be only an introduction to another gong, ‘You Can’t Get a | Man With a Gun,’ | ‘I, needed something for Frank Butler to sing to Annie Oakley, telling her the kind of a woman he wanted. I called it ‘The Girl That-I Marry.’ Nothing much hap- pened to it at first. “Then Frank Sinatra did.a rec- ord of it.

Vote | CINCINNATI (®—Vice President lie, has warned the Republican Na- } tional Committee in private the party must come out on tep in the 1954 congressional contests or face political extinction. If the Republicans fail, “‘the| swing is going to be completely; to the left and the Republican} party will be as dead as the dodo bird,” Nixon said yesterday. His pep talk to the national com- mittee, holding a_ workshop. con- ference in Cincinnati, was behind closed doors. But his remarks were overheard by reporters. In public he forecast a record- smashing vote would give ‘Repub- licans better control of both houses, where they now hold narrow mar- gins. But in private he sdids “T think this election is, a Horse race. I think it is extremely close in the House, extremely. close in the Senate. . “You could make a pretty good case for a statement that the Re- publicans are slightly behind in the Hoyse, slightly ahead in the Senate. Analyzing it in another way, it-can ‘be argued that they are slightly ahead in the House as well as the Senate. It could go either way?’ However, he insisted the election could be won if the candidates pegged their campaigns on Presi- dent Ejisenhower’s program of “peace, progress and prosperity.’ Jumper Forgets His Parachute SAN PEDRO, Calif. (#—Para- chutist. Ralph Rodriguez hailed out, but he forgot an important | item of equipment—a parachute. Ralph is only nine, and in dem- onstrating the technique of the Lorraine Nielsen, 10, he simply leaped from the second story back porch of her house Tuesday. He landed on the back fence. At San Pedro Emergency Hospital doctors took 15 stitches in his back. Republicans won in 1952 because Eisenhower symbolized a demand for a change, Nixon said. The’ is- sues tien were Korea, commu- nism, controls and corruption, he said. He said he thought the party had given the voters “‘the change they wanted,” adding: . “We have brought dignity and respect. to the highest office in this land.” | Nixon told the party leaders he held neither a “wildly optimistic outlook”. nor a pessimistic one. “The Democrats have. no- great and compelling issue,” the vice president said at a press confer- ence. “The one big issue on which they relied has been pulled out from under them—and that was an economie depression or. reces- sion.” In private he warned that pow- er-hungry big city and left-wing Democrats would capture the gov- Youngster Goes AWOL From His Hospital Bed CHESTER, Pa, W—Artie Pullin, 4, had had enough of the hospital. He underwent an emergency ap- Pendix operation at Crozer Hospi-+ tal Friday. Yesterday, while his nurse was out of the room, he climbed out of his crib, slipped his bathrobe over his pajamas, stuffed lollipops, comie books, crayons, color books and a toy gun in a paper bag and sneaked out a side door. He had forgotten only his slippers. Bus driver Herbert Fagley was among the first to spot him, at a crossing, heading for the center of town. Police were called, and Artie, sucking a lollipop and protesting, “I want to go home,” was re- turned “to the hospital.
