g St I ,b --x - CROWN FOR THE CHAMP FUm actress Piper Laurie places a crown that belonged to Catherine the Great on the head of Armi Kuusela of Finland, who was chosen "Miss Universe" at the Long Beach, Calif., beauty pageant. By sT'n feeets Brides, Babies and Bibles ... The men of vision who own forest land with young tree crops see prime markets for the fu ture among the 3,900,000 babies that were born in this country last year. The census experts, who had predicted 3,500,000 babies for 1951, are now opti mists who suggest a possible in crease in the population of as much as 28,000,000 for the pe riod 1950-1960. They say we may ven have 180,000,000 people by 1960. More timber! More wood for more honeymoon cottages, and for cribs, scooters, schools churches, more lumber, plywood and shingles for buildings on the new farms, more woodpulp for the extra newspapers and comic books that all the new generation will require; : And in this picture there's a feature, that perhaps contains the greatest significance of all. The various versions of the Bible show an ascending curve of sales and use since 1926, with a steep and steady climb for the last 15 years. Current example is the Revised Standard Version of the Bible, in preparation since 1930 by 32 renowned scholars, which will be published on Sep tember 30. A million copies are row being printed. The job is taking 1,400 tons of paper at $440 a ton. Forest Bibles ... I expect that "significance" Is no word for an old logger to ling. I'd shy away from the Bible as a topic, too, except that I've never yet read anything Bbout the power the forest tree has exerted in the circulation of the book of books. This has grown into untold millions of copies in the century since Hugh Burgess invented the soda pro cess of pulping wood and C. B. Tilgham discovered the sulphite method of stewing trees, to make printing a mass production in dustry. Right at home on a rough plank shelf in my boom-pond shack is a King James Version of the Bible that I bought in 1931 for a dollar. Its page is 5x7 inches, and there are 1808 of them. The type is easy for even my lone weak eye to read. The cover is limp plastic com position. The gilt title has long since faded away. The cover's corners are about gone. It has pencil marxs all the way through. A sample: "The glory of Lebanon shall come unto thee, the fir tree, the pine tree, and the box together, to beautify the place of my sanctuary ..." And now the pine and the fir come together to make millions of Bibles each year that poor people the world around are able to buy. Through the power of the tree, released by science and Industry, this treasure of faith, hope, poetry and wisdom is made all but free to every one. It is a common delusion that we are becoming less religious as time goes by in these states However, history records that only one Colonial American in 20 belonged to a church in 1776, while the census shows that near ly 59 per cent of the population has church ties today. Increase in church membership has been double the population increase since 1926. Advance orders for the new Revised Standard Ver sion of the Bible already total 600.000 copies from the initial edition of 1,000.000 copies. The ruling theme of the new translation is, "The word of life in living language." It was "au thorized" and will be brought into use by 40 Protestant de nominations. It may or may not become the Bible of the babies today. But certainly it will forti fy the future of religion in Amer ica, which is greater than you think. Harriman Lashes At Sen. McCarthy West Point, N. Y. (U.R) Democratic presidential aspir ant Averell Harriman lashed out at Sen. Joseph R. McCarthy Monday night. In a nationwide radio address from a Democratic dinner here, Harriman accused the Wisconsin Republican of introducing the un-American concept of "guilt by smear, rumor and associa tion" into the American way of life. He said Sen. Robert A. Taft of Ohio, candidate for the Re publican nomination for presi dent, must share McCarthy's guilt because he supported Mc Carthy on many issues. Harriman also attacked the candidacy of Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower, saying the former NATO commander would be a "prisoner of Old Guard Repub licans" if he were elected.

Around Hollywood Hollywood (U.R) Hollywood has celebrated the contract sign ing of everything from a sultry foreign star to a cat. And a studio got a doll's name on the dotted line Not a :'doll" meaning a shapely starlet, either. This doll is a real toy that's so unusual it- was Aline Mosby signed to an exclusive contract by 20th Cen tury Fox studio. Jimmy, the doll, is an animat ed toy clown that does stunts on a trapeze, and all concerned claim this is the first time a doll crashed the movies in Holly wood history. He was signed as one of the stars of "Top Man," and the new thespian upstages Joanne Dru, Richard Widmark and other hu man actors. Jimmy the toy gets close-ups, the opening scene and even feature billing," . . . intro ducing Jimmy the Clown." The doll's agent is the man who made him, Harold Gelber, better known as the owner of a swank movie colony restaurant, Fox and Hounds. . "The studio needed a doll to figure prominently in the plot of the picture and to be seen with a child actor, Georgie Winslow," Gelber explains. "They'd heard about my doll because all the movie people who come to the restaurant see it. I keep it on a table and Bobby-Soxer Shows Mother Doesn't Always Know Best A teen-aged girl proved recently that even Mothers can be wrong. Over her Mother's strenuous objec tions, Miss R. used Vano Powdered Bleach on a green print dress. Results showed Miss R. was com pletely right when she said Vano was safe, effective. The dress was dingy. After Vano the colors were clean, bright and fresh. By ALIKE MOSBY UaHed Press Correspondent everybody stops to play with it. Bob Hope often has dinner with the doll. George Jessel and June Haver have had Jimmy at their tables, too." Fox studio gave Jimmy the same glamour treatment it pre sents to new blondes. Jimmy was feted at the usual cocktail party, another milestone in this land of toothpicks and olives. He was given a salary of S200 a week, a special box in the prop department as a dressing room and even a press agent. Gelber is" so pleased with his toy's movie debut that he's in vented two more a little man who gets on a toy motorcycle and starts it himself, and a dog that walks and turns corners by himself. "It took me two years to per fect Jimmy the Clown toy," he says. "Loretta Ycung already has ordered 20 to give to hospi tals. "I wanted to paint a face on it like Jimmy Durante's, but Jimmy said no. Now he wishes he'd said yes." Tue4ar.
