As American Prince Of Peace
KDITOIIS: Following is a joint the theme of "peace and friend
dispatch by Merriman Smith, I'PIiship in freedom." here is hcv w
sum up ire rcMiiis
White House reporter, and Stewart
Hensley. UP! chief Stale Dt-part-mcnt
reporter, who accompanied
President Eisenhower on his his
toric 11 nation trip. It is an in
formal appraisal of what Eiscn
howcr accomplished and some of
the highlights of his mission.
y MERRIMAN SMITH
and STEWART HENSLEY
United Prui ln;erntional
WASHINGTON UTI' - Presi
dent Eisenhower was acclaimed
Tuesday morning in Madrid by
the newspaper, ABC. as "sales
man of the peace." In India. big
sigis across teeming sl eets of
New Delhi hailed him as "prince
of peace." And in .Morocco there
was a' sign beneath which Berber
tribesmen slouched on their
h'rscs. The sign said simply "Ike
peace."
These signs and slogan, some
of tliem inspired by the local gov
ernment, some straight from the
people, tell pretty well what Ei
senhower set out to do on his
trip. .
They tell, tro. why he returned
home Tuesday night dog tired but
happily convinced that more than
22,000 miles of grueling travel and
constant speaking were well worth
the el fort.
These two UPI reporters who
traveled the full circuit with the
President came ho:ne decidedly
weary, jaded somewhat by one
colorful mob show alter another,
but not without some personal
views on what Eisenhower may
have accomplished, and on possi
ble plus and minus factors for the
future.
Sum Up Results
After 19 days of watching and
listening to Eisenhower drum on
HENSLEY "The diplomatic
peaks of the President's frighten
ingly long tour to sell the lulled
States and peace came at oppo
site geographical sectors of the
journey in India and later at
the Western summit cunference in
Paris.
"In ' India. Eisenhower's peace
jpiH'al seemed really to reach the
heartstrings of the restless and
impoverished millions who turned
out to squ;it in his presence and
absorb I he atmosphere of a man
they called "Hie American King.'
The Indian people showered him
with adulation wherever he went
"Aral, m-re specifically In the
world of diplomacy, the President
and the neutralist prime minister
of India, Jawaharlal Nehru,
thanks inpart to the truculcnce
cf the Chinese Reds, apparently
reached much closer understand
ing on international affairs.
Khruth Meeting Satisfies Ike
"As for the Western summit
meeting in Paris, we won't know
tor some time just how much the
conference pushed back the
threshold of Communist threats
and expansion. The Western Big
Fcur decision to invite Soviet Pre
mier Nikita Khrushchev to an
April 27 meeting in the French
capital was a source of consider
able satisfaction to Eisenhower.
"His visits to the other coun
tries along the route were highly
important locally, but in retro
spect they seemed to have been to
American aid."
SMITH "It was a most dif
ficult trip to appraise, particular
ly when we had to do it from
the middle of a howling crowd or
while looking at scenes of Asiatic
splendor like the Taj Mahal or
"Deck The Halls
With Boughs Of Holly"

Trip Big Success
"My feeling is that from the
itandpoint of foreign mass con
sumption, the Eisenhower trip
was a big success. Sure, some oi
the crowds were manufactured.
but a I t of them were not. No
matter how Eisenhower's motives
and accomplishments may be ar
gued, it is undeniable that mil
lions of people on three conti
nents turned out to cheer him.
"Not at any time in his career
has he-been praised so highly in
public.
"It seems logical that when mil
lions turn out to cheer an Ameri
can president in foreign lands, the
L'niled Stales as a whole benefits.
"Willi tms adulation, however,
comes responsibility and expecta
tion. The cheers of today can
turn awfully sour if those doing
the cheering are led to expect
something in return and they
don't get it. .
Atomic Fuel
Expected To
Be Plentiful
WASHINGTON (UPH-A group
of experts reported today that
plenty of fuel will be available at
present prices to supply an atom
ic power industry much greater
than as envisioned in tlK next IS
years.
Some industrialists have hesi
tated to invest heavily in atomic
power for fear the government
might some day jack up the price
of wanium-235 or restrict the
supply.
. Today's report said there will
be enough U-235 to meet weap
ons needs and at the same time
provide fuel for a commercial
power capacity of at least 40 mil
lion kilowatts over the next IS
years.
Instead of going up, the price
might well come down in that
period, the report said.
Estimates of this country's fu
ture nuclear power capacity have
ranged from 10 to 23 million kilo
watts by 1975.
As far as fuel is concerned, the
new report suggests, industry
could build twice to four times
thai capacity-without running
afoul of rising costs or shortages.
This would leave a lot of margin
for foreign power plants supplied
with U.S. nuclear fuel.
The report was made for the
Atomic Industrial rorum ay Ken
neth D. Nichols, nuclear consult
ant and former general manage'
of the Atomic Energy Commis
slon; William Webster, president
of the New England Electric Sys
tem and the Yankee Atomic Elec
tric Co.: and Percival F. Brund
age, former budget director.

Bit Of Movie History Dies
With. Death Of Shimmy Queen
HOLLYWOOD UTH She
was born of humble parents in
Pola.id and she died in relative
obscurity in a modest apartment
in Hollywood.
Her real name was Wanda Mi
chalska. but to a w hole decade of
hip flack carrying sports she was
the sex appeal girl of the day
and "queen of the shimmy."
Gilda Gray was the name she
used and the zany decade of the
Roaring 20s was hers.
Only 18 when she starred in a
Shubert musical on Broadway,
the lovely blonde - haired Miss
Gray ran through three husbands
and an estimated four million dol
lar fortune before World War II.
Receuperating From Illness
Death came Tuesday for the
once celebrated dancer and sing
er, but the party had been over
for a long time.
Her body was found in the
home of a neighbor, Mrs. An
tonio Raio with whom she had
been staying for the past week
recuperating from an illness.
Death apparently was due to a
heart attack.
Still trim. Miss Gray's age was
given as 60, although it was esti
mated she could have been any
where from 59 to 65.
The curvesome dancer rocketed
to fame by gyrating her hips in
an abandoned dance called the
shimmy. She said she invented
tile dance in her teens when she
was entertaining in a saloon in
Cudahy, Wis.
"They hoisted me on a table
and I sang the 'Star Spangled
Banner'," she said in a recent in
terview. "I could hardly talk
English, so the words came hard
so hard that I found myself
wiggling my shoulders and then
the rest of me.
"One night a customer asked
what kind of a dance I was do
ing and I said I was shaking my
chemise only I pronounced it
'shimmy.' That's how the dance
and the name were born.'
She went on from the Cudahy
saloon to appear in the Ziegfcld
hollies with Will Rogers and Gal
lagher and Sheen and other en
tertainment greats of the day.
Hollywood beckoned and the
girl from Krakow, Poland, made
a number of films, including
"Aloma of the South Seas" In
which she created her own wiggly
version of the Hawaiian hula
