John D. Rockefeller 3rd Has Real
t Chance To Help His Fellow Man
' By HAL BOYLE
NEW YORK-4P) There will be no more peace in our time.
John D. Rockefeller 3rd has seen to that. He has carried his
family's generous tradition of philanthropy right out the window.
John D. Sr. did wonders for world health with his millions.
John D. Jr. made a hopeful bid for world order by donating a
line site for the United Nations to build its echo chambers.
And John D. three? What i he
doing? Why, he's building a guest
house for visiting relatives. There
is no' doubt he and his wife prob
ably need it.. They hardly have
room in their East side apart
ment to entertain the 95 relatives
who showed up for their wedding
in 1932.
But young Rockefeller has put
some 3.000.000 other New York
families on the spot. Because
you know how relatives are--their
hinterland kin are going to
expect the same kind of treat
ment. "Rockefeller built a house for
his relatives," they'll sneer.
"Why don't you? Getting too big
for us, eh?"
And this will be difficult to an
swer, because most out-of-town
visitors are sure that everybody
here lives like Rockefeller or
Tommy Manvillo. Maybe they do,
but it is often on a smaller scale.
The trouble with John D. 3rd's
adventure in family goodwill is
that he built his guest house as
if he really wanted all his
obscure relatives to visit him.
It has a living room with a
fireplace, three bedrooms and
three baths. It has a sunlit patio

And it would be a fine gesture
of good will if young John O.
three would rent the Joint out oc
casionally when his own folks
weren't having a clambake. A lot
of fellow citizens here could use
it to show their relatives a hot

But, like me, they would prob
ably want to make some modifi
cations. I have In mind enter
taining my fourth cousin, flap
Boyle. Cousin Squeegee lives in
Corntop, Iowa, and earned his
nickname as a boy by winning a
dime bet he could wash a depart
ment store window with one ear
without using a ladder.
Squeegee still has the dime
also a wife, a pet parrot, and
eight flap-eared children. Eveiy
body else in our family regards
Squeegee as a worse plague than
the locust, which appears only
once in 17 years. The Squeegee
tribe is an annual blight.

First, I'd stop up the fireplace

Thomas Gives Up
Probing Official
Use Of Planes
WASHINGTON. Sept. 1.-4-P)
Senator Elmer Thomas (D-Okla.)
has dropped his demand on Sec
retary of Defense Johnson for in
formation about the use of mili
tary aircraft by President Tru
man and other top government

tary aircraft will be restricted

Thomas added that he now con
siders a "closed matter" the con
troversy stirred up by Johnson's
objection to a request from a
group of senators for a military
plane to fly them part way
around the world.
Thomas is chairman of a sen
ate appropriations committee

ed forces. He plans to lead mem
bers of the group to Europe to
check on expenditures In public
funds.
Some of the members want to
go on around the world, and
Thomas informed Johnson last
week that they would like to have
a military plane fly them.

Japan Or Support Her
PORTLAND, Sept. 7. UPl
David - M. Maynard, economic
counselor in Tokyo, said here that
the United States must buy goods
from Japan or face the prospect
of supporting that country.
He criticized the tendency of
disapproving Imports from Japan.
That, he said, will simply mean
that Americans must go on pay
ing out more money to support
Japan.
"The goal Is to have Japan

that she must increase her ex
ports greatly," he said.

climbing steadily. The main prob
lem now Is selling the goods.
