MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE THREE
Hull JUJJ V.UIIICIJ
. To Be Mainstays
In Any Atom War
Washington (U.R) The Navy,
stung by a British field marshal's
attack on "expensive" aircraft
carriers, ' pictured its big ships
today as mainstays of any atomic
Mauu aur farriArr L
war. -
Assistant Navy Secretary for
Air James H. Smith Jr., called
a news conference to tell how the
Navy would use small, speedy
carrier forces to strike nuclear
blows under America's "massive
retaliation" policy. !
Under Attack
The carrier has been under
attack in a series of speeches in
London and Los Angeles by
Field , Marshal Montgomery,
Gen. Alfred M. Gruenther, Su
preme Allied Commander
Europe. Montgomery said no
more carriers should be built.
Smith, in a speech not as well
noted,-recently said the aircraft
carrier was "experiencing
resurrection among air power
thinkers everywhere.
Montgomery's speeches in this
country coincided with prepara
tion of next year's defense bud
get in which the Navy wants
funds for a new super aircraft
carrier." They also coincide with
Navy plans to launch next Satur
day the first super carrier, the
59,650-ton Forrestal which cost
more than 200 million dollars.
Annoy Navy
The speeches annoyed Navy of
ficers who have long been at
edds with the British chiefs o:
staff on the role of carriers. The
British are not interested in
strategic bombing from carrier
decks. They leave that to the
Royal Air Force.
Montgomery said bluntly that
the day of the carrier is ap
proaching its end."
The field marshal who led
Britain's famed 8th Arm in
World War II made his speeches
here after being President Eisen
hower's Thanksgiving guest He
said the North Atlantic Treaty
Organization bases all its plans
on using atomic and hydrogen
weapons in event of war. He said
air power is becoming the de
cisive factor in war. He foresaw
that eventually air forces rather
than navies will control the seas,

Backstairs: Who Did Ike Quote?
By MERRIMAN SMITH
United Press Writer
Washington (U.R) Back
stairs at the White House:
President Eisenhower the
other day quoted "a rather wise
old fellow" who once said, "cen
tralization is the refuge of fear."
The words of the "wise old
fellow" don't show up in the
latest edition of Bartlett's Famil
iar .Quotations and people close
to the President have no idea
who he was quoting.
Any wise old fellow want to
claim the maxim?
There is a report from Holly
wood that someone has com
missioned a West Coast jeweler
to make a miniature model of the
new White House plane, Colum
bine III, for Mrs. Eisenhower's
charm bracelet.
She receives many charms for
her favorite piece of jewelry and
if she wore them all, she couldn't
raise her arm. Many are mailed,
but few are chosen.
A White House squirrel was
stunned the other day by run
ning into a tourist's car. A sight
seeing guide scooped up the
dopey animal before he could
wobble behind the safety of Mr.
Eisenhower's fence, took him
home and had a squirrel stew
that night.
Secret Service agents assigned
to the White House in years past
Film-TV Writer-Star Sees'
How N.Y. Makes Live Shows
New York (U.R) His cur
rent visit here is giving Richard
Carlson a chance to see how the
other half lives.
The "other half" angle has a
double meaning in the case of
this star. Although a TV veter
ans, as such things go, most of
his work has been in filmed tel
evision, yet he will do a live one
hour play while here. With a
good knowledge of how TV func
tions in the Hollywood area, he's
getting his first real chance to
see how the eastern part of the
industry conducts itself.
'I'll say this," Carlson re
marked. "There are a lot of
young directors arid producers
around New York who are cer
tainly full of fire and ambition.
Some of them have an enthus
iasm as though they had just dis
covered or invented television
action.
'Domestic Parity'
Sought for Wheat
Portland (U.R) The Oregon
Wheat Growers' league Satur
day voted to give "maximum
emphasis" toward obtaining con
gressional adoption of a league-
sponsored "domestic parity
plan for a two-price system on
wheat.
The plan, which was approv
ed at the closing session of the
league's annual convention here,
would give growers full parity,
through the use of certificates
bought from growers by mills,
on the portion of the wheat crop
used for domestic feed purposes.
Delegates ! opposed the "mod
ernized parity" formula of the
present federal farm laws which
would lower, by. 15 per cent the
parity price of wheat when it
becomes effective in 1956.
Othe resolutions reaffirmed
the league's earlier stand favor
ing a state sales tax as a possible
solution to Oregon's expanding
fiscal needs; called for reorgani
zation of the state tax depart
ment, and opposed any change
in the basic school support fund.
FALSE ALARM ;
Waterbury, Conn. (U.R) Pu
pils and teachers at Chase School
got a surprise when they staged
a routine fire drill. Several com
panies of the fire department
rrived in the midst of the drill.
Someone neglected to disconnect
the automatic connection with
fire headquarters on the alarm
box when the switch was pulled.

"This enthusiastic quality is a
good one, of course, but some
times they forget that there are
some Hollywood people who
come here who may know a lit
tle about acting. I went to see
the stage play, 'The Caine Mu
tiny Court Martial, the other
night, and I must say I was
tickled to see some Hollywood
movie stars giving wonderful
performances in it."
Carlson, a veteran star, writer,
director and producer for the
movies, has acquired his TV
fame in the past two seasons in
the "I Led Three Lives" weekly
series based on the undercover
work against the Communists
done by Herbert Philbrick for
the FBI. Some 80 of the half
hour films will have been com
pleted by the end of this year
and another year of espisodes
probably will be made.
"TV film work," Carlson said,
"is done just as in the movies
brief takes, usually not in se
quence. We spend two days on
one of the films. Because of my
movie commitments, we'll do a
bunch of them in quick succes
sion so I'll be free for weeks at
a time.
Memorizes Easily
"It's been a long time since I
did any sustained acting such as
is necessary on the stage .and in
live television, but in rehearsals
so .far I haven't found it too dif
ficult to get the feel of such
work again. Fortunately, , I'm a
pretty quick study, so memoriz
ing lines isn't a chore. And it is
quite stimulating to work with
other actors in this ' fashion
again. . V
. "But a steady diet of live tele
vision wouldn't do for me not
now, at least. I wouldn't be able
to do anything else, and I have
too much of a stake in the mo
vies at present to get tied up in
something that would leave me
little time for them."
received a clothing allowance of
several hundred dollars annual
ly. This was deemed necessary
because frequently they are re
quired to wear dinner clothes,
sometimes white tie and tails,
when they accompany a presi
dent to formal evening affairs.
Congress, however, ruled out
the allowance a long time age.
The agents' pay scale is material
ly higher today than it was when
they received the clothing al
lowances, but still they must
provide themselves with far
larger wardrobes than most fed
eral employes. In addition to
their dinner clothes, they are
expected to -be immaculately
groomed and dressed when
they're on duty at the White
House.
To make ends meet and to
keep well-dressed, the agents, of
necessity, buy many of their
clothes at the walk-up-and-save
clothing establishments.
