French, U. S.
Prestige Down
InS. E. Asia
l!y FRANK II. BARTHOLOMEW

TOKYO (UP) Prestige of the
United Stales in Southeast Asia
is almost as low as that of - the
French as the colonial empire of
r ranee comes into its final chap
ters, most .neutral observers in
Southeast Asia are agreed.
Vietnam's millions appear to
have believed firmly that the Uni
ted States would come to the- ac
tive rescue of the Franco-Vietnam
cause- as opposed to Communism.
They magnified and even dis
torted from Iho statements of
Washington political and military
leaders the- things they wanted to
believe that the United State?
uould at the last minute save
flicin and the Rod military in
vasion. Free talk in the United Stales
about possible use of the atom
bomb to drive out the invaders
was accepted almost as a declar
ulion that the bomb would be
used.
When it finally dawned on even
the most optimistic that Iho Uni
ted States had cooled off, had de
cided that Dion Bicn Phu was a
lost cause and now intended to
"wait and see," (he prestige of
the United States went lo a low
ebb and has remained there.
The American up-and-down pol
, icy statements have to a large ex
tent undone the work of Iho U.S.
specialists in the field with the
common people of Vietnam, and
i Iho United Stales stands convicted
.on many quarters of the twin sins
rtliat are unforgivoahle in the Ori
ent indecision and weakness.
Little credit is given the United
Slates for ils tremendous contri
bution of tanks, trucks, artillery
and ammunition lo the French
union forces. For two reasons. In
the first place, the people do not
read the name-plates on the tanks
and the French did not go out of
their way to advertise the origin.
More importantly, all this mater
iel was part of a losing cause anv
iway and therefore to be entirely
discredited.
I-tritafn, the only western power
with actual colonial possessions
remaining in Hie orient the com
mercial cities of Hong Kong and
Singapore has ..emerged from the
debacle of Vietnam with undam
aged prestige'. This is generally
fell in Saigoii lo be due to the fuel
that Britain never gave, the iinti
Ciimmunisl forces any cause to
exbect heln, hence there Is no
feeling of let-down. '
Chessman

man will go to his death alone
and will be the first of three
men to die in San Quentin's lethal
gas chamber on July 30, accord
ing to Warden Harley O. Teets.
The warden said Chessman will
be executed along at 10 a.m. "be
cause of the prominence of Ins
case."
The other two men. James
Franklin Wolfe, 41. and Joseph
Johansen, 25, convicted of killing
a fellow prisoner, will die togeth
er in the apple-green chamber at
1 p.m.
Meanwhile, Chessman's lawver.
Berwyn Rice, of San Rafael. Cal
has petitioned the stale supreme
court for yet another writ of
habeas corpus and a slay of ex
ecution.
Chessman, convicted of kidnap
ing and rape in Los Angeles, Cal.
lias been in this prison's death
row for nearly six years fighting
a legal battle to ave himself
Two and a half years of that
time he spent writing "Cell 2lf
Death Row" a self analysis of
himself as a condemned man and
a criminal. He has allained i
tionwide fame since his book was
seller. .
The cnnvict-jniilhor was convict
ed under California's Little Lind
bergh Law" for kidnap-assaults
involving acts of forcible sex per
version. The petition, now awaiting ac
tion by the court, alleges that er
rors were made in his trial in
Los Angeles in 1918 and that Iho
transcript of appeal from convic
tion was inaccurate.
Chessman has once before been
granted a temporary stay while
Superior Judge Thomas F. Keat
ing of San Rafael studied a peti
tion for a' writ of habeas corpus.
Judge Keating finally denied Hie
writ and a new execution date was
set.

Jokes Behind Iron Curtain

AI Washington Correspondent
WASIIINGTON-U. S. Informa
tion Agency's Voice of America
lias been gagging up some of its
programs by broadcasting the
latest anti-Communist jokes be
hind the Iron Curtain.
Here are a few samples:
A voter standing in line for s
factory council election in Czech
oslovakia, was examining Ihe bal
lol given to him in an envelope.
"What are you doing?" asked
his supervisor.
"I want to know whom I'm vot
ing for," answered the worker.
"Are you out of your mind?"
asked Ihe supervisor. "Don't you
know the ballot is secret?"
This one came from a Hun
garian escapee:
"The government promised to
raise our standard of living 50
per cent when spring came, and
they have done it. We used to be
starving and shivering and now
we are only starving."
A visitor to Hie office of Bul
garia's prime minister asked.
"What kind of a telephone is that
on your ucsk u lias u i euuivci i
but no speaker."
"Direct line lo Moscow," the
prime minister replied.
Poles have a way of collecting
bonuses offered by Ihe Commu
nist government for speedy work.
How they do it is explained by
two bricklayers who have erected
a wall in speedy time.
The one says to the other, "You
hold it up while I go and get the
bonus.
Kep. (jrurgo M. iruut (D.,

gument with Rep. Jacob K. Ja-
vits (K., N. Y.) who was sup
porting a move to lake peanuts

entitled lo high price supports.
'Some years ago." said Grant,

"I am reminded of the story of
the poll parrot who was a prisoner
in a cage. He kept crying 'I want
my liberty. I want my freedom.'
Finally the cage was opened and

ed on the limb of a tree. All the
blackbirds in Hie neighborhood de
sbended on him and started pull
ing out his fealhers. He said, 'One

Kep. Victor Wickersliam (D.,

raged indignation on the House
floor over the fact that his state
will not be the location for shool-
ing the film version of the mil-
