POOR MAN'S PHILOSOPHER NEW YORK UP) Hildcbarcle Neff, Broadway's latest toast, rocketed to fame from a back ground of fear. Success isn't likely to turn this German-born girl's head. She can still remember how she made her first stage hit in bombed-out Berlin wearing an ev The Ground Hog Was Right The first day of spring finds the nation battered by torna does, blizzards and a fast moving cold wave from the Rockies to the midwest with heavy snowfall. Blizzard conditions whipped parts of Missouri and Arkansas, Tornadoes hit Iowa and Colorado and wind-driven snow fell on Nebraska, South Dakota, Wyoming, New Mexico. Tem peratures dived to 11 below zero in some sections ana suu frcezing 27 above threatens the southern California citrus pmn. r.,Tnnla, nrmcr nrr ived however, at 4:35 a.m., EST, the moment of the vernal equinox when the center of the sun was directly over the equator. Theoretically it is the time when the dav and night equal 12 hours each. But modern methods of measuring sunrise and sunset combined to produce 12 hours and 11 months of daytime and 11 hours ana min utes of night. . Only in the Far East was weather appropriately springlike, ikmih fn nrevailed over some states. A tornado collapsed a circus tent over 400 persons at Uvalde, Texas, a major snow storm piled up 15-inch drifts at Sioux City, and an airliner crashed near Springfield, Mo., with 38 aboard, flying through a heavy mist. It all goes to show the groundhog was a better weather prophet than the weather man for instead of at least six weeks more of winter we have received 10 more weeks and the end ir not yet. All nf which. In sDite of our scientific studies of the weath er show how little progress hiss been made everywhere in the world of either predicting or control ol the weainer ana now ., hopeless a job forecasting nature is. We do know that period ically, if not always, the weather runs in cycles, and evidently we are in another cycle and can expect for sometime dry and cold seasons that insure blizzards, snow and draught and rwiia dust bowls and crop failures. On the Pacific coast we have a habit of blaming the warm Japanese ocean current for shifting its flow further from the land. But it is like other theories, only conjecture. But the northwest's weather contrasts very favorably with that of the rest of the nation comparatively, and we -ran find but little ' fault with our weather. We have had little or no snow, no zero weather, no tornadoes and no floods, although we will prob ably experience water and power shortage. G. P. Curtains for Glen Taylor? t It ia always dangerous to write a politician's political obit uary until the time comes for the real one, but some are now doing this for Glen Taylor, former U.S. senator from Idaho and Henry Wallace's running mate on the national Progressive ticket in 1948. Taylor was overwhelmingly beaten for senator last Novem ber ahd the leaders of the Idaho A.F. of L. unions have in formed him that he will get no more support from them. "Wej ening gown made from a bed aren't putting any more money on dead horses, was their terse explanation to him. They asked him not to run again, he had been beaten twice in a row and couldn't recuperate. But Taylor didn't take it lying down. He retorted: 'fit like In av I've never been subservient to anyone, corpora tions or labor leaders or anyone else. It's getting a little late for labor leaders to tell me what 1 should or should not do. "Having knives stuck in my back is no new experience to me, so I'm not greatly disturbed. I've campaigned on cheese and crackers In the past and I could do It again before I would let labor tell me what I should or should not do. "Perhaps this stab in the back is a great thing for me; In the past my opponents have tried to label me as a stooge ol laDor. Trie Met trial snouin 1 again run tor oince i wouia ngni inrec front war against corporate interests, conniving politicians and labor leaders does not frighten me in the least. Taylor is considering a campaign against Reublican Senator Herman Welker who succeeded him in 1951 and who has an nounced that he will run again next year. Labor and Demo cratic leaders appear to want Taylor sidetracked because though he can usually get the Democratic nomination, partic ularly if he has two or more opponents in the primary, he cannot poll the whole Democratic vote and therefore can t bo elected. That is, he wasn't last time. Next time might be a different story. Sure We'll Use 'Em President Eisenhower's stntiMiient that we will use atomic bombs in any future war puts everyone on notice. It will arouse some outcries, particularly in Communist and fellow traveler circles, but it will tend to prevent war. There'll he no atomic bombings unless there is a war and there will bp no war unless the Communists start it. Every body knows this, none better than the Communists. And they will bo less likely to strike if they know we will fight the next war to a victory, using every weapon in our large, ex panding arsenal. Atomic bombs barbaric? No more so than the other bombs. They kill the virtims no deader. All bombs are barbaric and so are all weapons of destruction, even rocks and clubs when so used. The importance of the atomic bomb is that it offsets the vast hordes of ground troops our enemies have assembled and trained, 'or aggressive purposes that are obvious to all clear-headed persons. What keeps them from so using the vast forces, which are much larger than any nations ever before kept armed in time of peace? American atomic power, which can counterattack with devastating effect their vast ground superiority can not prevent. If they knew we would not use our atomic bombs they would know ihcy could win a war of conquest and would he pretty sure to start it. So in terms of human life we would he barbaric to withhold the one weapon that pro tects the non-Communist world from attack The idea that atomic bombs are barbaric while other weap ons arm t is a slick piece of Communist propaganda that does credit to their ingenuity but no credit to the mentality of , those who accept it.

Now co-starred with Don Am- eche In "Silk Stockings", she plays the role of Russian lady commisar, a role made famous by Greta Uarbo in the film "Nonotch ka". "Silk Stockings", a musical, reached Times Square after a lengthy 15-week period of out- of-town trials and tribulations that had many Broadway gloom- loaders predicting it would be the season s outstanding flop.

"I lost 18 pounds during the tryouts, but it was worth It," she said. "I've lived in hotels for six years. I've been nothing hut a night plane passenger all that time between Germany, France, England and America. "Now I can stay in one place. I can have my own apartment, and feel settled for a while. You can have no idea what this means to me." Ililde shook her long red-blonde hair and looked cheerfully around her new four-room penthouse apartment on lower Fifth Ave nue, as if her mind were feeling each piece of furniture to be sure it was in the right place. Ililde, now an American Citizen, has been a picture star pilgrim since the war. She has made films in three languages Kno lish, German, and French and speaks each well. Born in Ulm, Germany, Albert Einstein home town, she was studying art in Berlin on a schol arship when a producer saw i.er and arranged a street test. Her first big picture, "Under the Bridges", made by UFA, the Ger man film studio, was never re leased. It was destroyed during an Allied bombing. Hildo then became a stage actress. Beneath her present security lie crowfling memories of the terror of those years, when Al lied bombs rained on Berlin by day and by night.

Eisenhower's health as a bar to Ike's running again is the immedi ate cause of current complaint, in cluding suggestions that he resign.

This, too, in spite of the fact that this myth has long since been debunked by the California Au dubon Society. It is nothing more or less than a good publicity gag that helps bring in hundreds of visitors to that little southern California city for the celebra tion of St. Joseph's Day, a Cath olic holy day. My wife and I were in South ern California last winter and made it point to visit San Cap istrano on March 19. Upon our arrival we found that hundreds of swallows were already nesting in the old Mission. Natives of the little village, Including the priests in attendance at the Mis sion, readily admit that the story about the return of the swallows on March 19 is a myth. The swal- I lows do return to southern Cali fornia generally in March, start. ine in the earlv ' Dart of the j month and continuing to arrive I over a period of three or tour weeks.
