Rlissionarr from Shangri-la , (
Two of threevyears ago'a group of Tibetan
traders arrived In San Francisco with a ship
ment of yak tad which they hoped to exchange
for some of America' industrial products.
' Then Lowell Thomas, sr. and jr, went to i
Tibet and came back with?a broken leg and a
book ("Out of This World), respectively. The;
book reveals jutt about everything you'd want
to know about the customs -of the inhabitants
of that mysterious mountain country. 1
Then the Chinese communists took over .
Tibet's government, and, Lowell Thomas spec
ulates, its uranium deposits too. And since then
we've heard little more from Jhe land of the
lamas. '.- "

rived in San Francisco to teach at that dtyV'
American Academy of Asian Studies.
He brought something 'a lot more valuable
than the hairy hindmost extremities of the do
mesticated ox a ton and a half of Tibetan
writings to be' translated into English. Said the
little old monk: , r
People in Tibet are not advanced in the
ways of Western "civilization but they are ad
mod in spiritual aspects. What does that ad
vance accomplish? It makes them feel good.
They dont like to fight They, don't like war."
At this stage of Western civilization's "ad
vance, people here may be right willing to "
trade soma of cur latest gadgets for whatever t
it fa that makes the Tibetans "feel good.! If
th sale of the recent spate of books on how to
make friends, how to be happy, how to have
peic of mind, etc., is any indication, the lamas' -recipe
ought to get a great reception. ; ';.";:'
But it's safe to predict that the heretofore
escret wisdom cf the ancients recorded ' inthe
.Tibetan holy books Is no better nor easier to
put Into practice than the- rules for "feeling
good" and avoiding strife" which Western civili-v
cation has had and has largely ignored for
nearly 2000 years. ,
Slavics and Safety n
Numbers dont lie, it's said; but statistics do.
An example cf misleading use of statistics is
a news item frcm the state traffic safety divi
sion which reported: ' ' ' f
"Motor vehicle drivers between the ages of
tfl and 39 years were involved in more traffic
-accidents during 1950 than any, other group.
Drivers from IS to 18 years Id appeared on
7,721 accident reports, with 37 involved In fatal
. smish-ups. But 30,721 - accident drivers in the
group were listed, with 118 marked as '
participants in death crashes. No data Is avail- 4
able comparing the amount of driving done by
each group." j , f
Now, what is that supposed to prove? That
teen-agers are tafer drivers?; I . ,
The only "value in statistics lies in the valid
conclusions which may be drawn from the fig
ures.: But the figures above are meaningless
becmse they are not proportionate. ' i
The teen-age group covers three years. The
older group covers ten years. We would have
to know how many 15 to 18-year-old drivers
there are, and how many 30 to 39-year-old
drivers there are. We would have to know Jow
much driving each group did. Then we would

The fact is that the

And what has been generally
overlooked Is the fact that the

"RbyaH Wedding in BIoscow :
"Father of the bride seems an unfitting role
for Joe Stalin, but that's what he is. His 27-year-old
daughter Svetlana is now honeymoon
ing with the lucky groom after two weeks of
festivities in Moscow. i
The news reports "from Russia say the Stalin
Kaganovich nuptial feast "outshone any post
war wedding in the West." There were some
humdingers. -
The royal wedding of Princess Elizabeth and
Phillip was rather restrained and austere, it's
true, but with all the traditional trappings at
no extra cost it managed to make quite a good
show for the good old empire.
The exiled Archduke of Austria's recent wed
ding had distinction in a pathetic sort of way.
It gave the displaced nobility and de-throned
royalty another chance to polish and parade
their seldom-used anduseless cordons, ribands.
cockades, epaulets, tierras, liveries and decora
tions, j ' .
The purely-ornamental marriage of 'Prince
Ali Khan and Rita was horse-play of a different
' odor but It certainly had eclat.
Dictator Franco's daughter was married off
amid pomp and ceremony not long ago. ;V-
Then there is that fat slob, King Farouk of
Egypt,1 and his new bride, the neor child he vir
tually! kidnapped from her betrothed their
wedding was as embarrassing as a bawdyhouse
fire and gawdy as a ganster's funeral in. pro
hibition days. ' -U
Latest of the big postwar weddings was the
glittering affair when the handsome Shah of
Iran married a dark-haired beauty, and all the
Western nations sent supmtuous gifts. ;-f -
But the shindig Stalin threw for his daughter
transcended all of these in the magnificence of
the bride's gown, the pinkness of the cham
pagne; the high proof of the vodka, the gaiety
of the guests, etc. etc., according to the Rus
"sians. It was a wedding to put all other royal
weddings to shame, they say.
Well, that's kind of funny. Here are the com

from likely to bolt his party.
In Alabama, the Dixiecrats in
: 1948 were strong enough to rule
Truman's name right off the bal
lot But the whole Dixiecrat or
ganization has now been ground
into . mince-meat by Alabama's
two anti-Dlxiecrat Senators, Lis
ter Hill and John Sparkman.
In Louisiana, national Dixiecrat
leader Leander Perez, who sup-
i plied much of the tactical direc
tion and financial sinews of the
1948 movement, led the fight
last .year: to unseat anti-Dtxie-crat
Senator Russell Long. Perez
was . Just I about finished politi
cally when Long romped thorugh
- with every Louisiana parish
save one a greater triumph
than his father Huey Long ever
' enjoyed. l ;
The Louisiana state organiza
tion is now firmly in the hands
. of Long and antl-Dixiecrat Ma
yor DeLesseps Morrison of New
- Orleans. Even in Mississippi, the
Dixiecrat hold has been slipping
fast In view of the above, it is
difficult to see bow the rebelli
ous southern mutterings can take
any form more decisive than a ,
. futile convention walkout.! This'
is so especially since the Truman
' administration has no intention
whatsoever of seriously pushing
the hated civil rights proposals
before the democratic conven
tion. On the face of , It, therefore,
this seems to ad' up to a 38
ballot plus for Truman. Add the
fact that Truman almost certain
ly owed the loss bt 1948 of the
47 New York State ballots to the
existence of the communist-organized
progressive party. Henrv
Wallace has long since retired
to his chicken farm,: and the "
; communists . are now no more "
'caDabl of organizing even the
thin shadow of a national party
than they are of capturing the .
republican nomination. The
, sinking without trace of the pro
gressive party is also " surely , a
plus for Truman. .. - '

A Korean truce will also give
Acheson an opportunity to de

at least against a background of
solid achievement, which is how
Actjeson has wanted to leave all
along. It is significant that Tru
man now discusses the possibil
ity of Acheson's departure with
out the former outbursts of pre

itly assumed that Acheson it
too heavy a political burden to
carry in a campaign year. Pre

iwho would make a brilliant sec-
retary. And whether or not Me

pretty certain to be deorived of

One- of , the situations most
commonly encountered - by phy

abuse of the sedative ' drugs.
Even the so-called relatively
harmless bromides can bring
about certain nervour and men
tal disorders when used to ex
cess. Bromides are often given to
Induce tranquility in the overly-
. nervous or excitable person. Un
fortunately, many such people
continue to use them far beyond
the time anticipated by the phy
sician and thus fall into the bro
mide habit and. eventually, into
... the condition known as brom

exaggeration is shown by the
, . fact that one. out of every 20

to careful consideration. The

welcomed as a relief, from the
strains of the depression. But
government efforts to bridle the
tiger thus unleashed are at best
feeble and spasmodic: some cur-'
tailment of credit, price and wage
' controls, higher taxes, appeals for
' purchase of saving bonds. It Is
doubtful if a democratic govern
ment has the courage to apply
tight .brakes on the economy.
The consequence thus would
seem to be that the fires of infla
