The latest is the invasion of the deep s e a diving profession, which leaves very few places where a mon can be alone. E. R Cross (left) kisses Jcre Lee Cross just after she had completed a dive of 152 feet, be lieved to be the world's record for women. DIVING LADY 0 Mrs. Cross (above) adds some 160 pounds to her own 100 when she dons full diving regalia. In the diving school oper ated by her husband, Mrs. Cross (left) gets a lesson from hubby on the de compression tank and the pressure gauge he holds. Mrs. Cross first became interested in diving about three years ago. 0 In heavy diving gear and helmet, Mrs. Cross (right) leaves the barge for a shallow practice dive. Her husband, a former navy diver who now runs a deep sea diving school in Los Angeles, trained her for the recent record dive. Her record was achieved after three years of taking pressure tests, shallow dives and studying the reactions of her hus band's male diving students. eeltly :tur story 4 SPCRTSCOEE HOfllE X Tow n FEMALE COMPLAINTS W A IT S « SM SAQ, WNU Things to Come tir llA T IS AHEAD In the forsee- YY able future far tl.e American people? Thi» lx the question being asked throughout the length and breadth of the land, in the home town« and rural area«, and in our major urban centers. Insofar as i making an accurate prediction is concerned there can be no definite ; answer. There Is, however, one crystal- clear fact, and that is the American people must understand they are In greater peril today than ever be- fore in the 174-year history of this nation and that It behooves every citizen from high to low estate to realize they must undergo whatever sacrifice, whatever hardship to fend off and conquer the Imperial- Istic Soviet despotism which is com mitted to a policy aimed at not only conquering the free world, but in capturing mens’ minds with the ideology of athetistic communism. Watching the trend of events here In Washington since the fateful, history-weighed deci sion of President Truman to stop Communist aggression In Korea, there Is every reason to believe that the United States will be in a state of ever-increasing mobilization of men and resources lor the next 10 years. Present indications are that the Korean war Is a preview of things to come. It is fairly obvious to this column ! that if the people are not fully aware of the awesome dangers which confront our nation, they are i at least far ahead in their think ing than their elected representa tives in the congress, and in some Instances, seem prepared to accept more sacrifice and restriction than even the President himself is aware. • • • A t left Mrs. Cross examines a knife that all divers wear when they are working in the deep waters. The diver is a dummy that stands in the lobby of the school operated by her husband. The knife is a weapon for defense in case the diver is attacked by a deep water creature. Such attacks are in frequent, however. It is a handy instrument to free divers from tangled ropes and ocean growth. Notice the heavy belt of weights which divers use to keep them submerged. 0 Eternally feminine despite the fact she has just set a record in a field once exclu sive of man's endeavor, Mrs. Cross (right) docs a powder-puff job on her nose before donning the heavy helmet for a practice dive. Her brothcr-in law patiently waits to adjust the helmet. Now that she has the title of the world's champion woman deep sea diver, Mrs. Cross admits she has no idea of what to do with it.

As a mat ter of fact, although the President ! himself has declared politics out the window, some of his satellites still persist in looking at the situa tion through politically t i n t e d glasses. This fact, however, doesn't Justify some of the news stories which are going out of Washington through some mediums to the ef- I feet that all here is confusion and muddled thinking, or that the Pres ident is not giving his associates a clear sense of direction, or there , Is a scramble for power or bicker ing among ’'small-'bore bureau crats” as one writer called it. This writer believes that the rec ord show’s that President Truman anticipated what might happen 1 long ago and that he was primed ! and ready when he made his deci sion even over the advice of his | military leaders and his political advisers. He made it on a moral principle to which this nation was i committed. That he did not have i the tools at hand is no fault of Mr. Truman, and had he waited even a day, it is likely there would have been no beach-head at Pusan on which to make a landing. • • • Stand-by Controls Urged 0 By JOE MAHONEY Then what is the record? On January 4, 1949. Mr. Truman rec ommended to the congress to set up a system of stand-by controls to be used in an emergency, "to im pose price ceilings on scarce com modities which basically effect es sential production or the cost of living.” A few days later In his eco nomic message he spelled out these proposals and on Feb. 15, 1949, he sent congress the draft of a stabilization bill which ad vocated these stand-by controls. On March 3, 1949, he told news men at a press conference he needed these powers for any sudden development. On January 7, 1950, he again sounded a warning in his economic legislators to give him power to regulate consumer credit, to reg ulate speculation in commodities on the commodity exchanges and to give the federal reserve board au thority over banking reserves. That is the record. * • • EMEXEVf -----SPORT LIGHT Mackmen Are Impoverished Bunch By GRANTLAND RICE- longer. His Athletics must go over board to someone else.
