Many Changes Made in Governments off
Countries Who Founded (United Nations
Editor' Not: This is the first of!
three dispatches on the United Na
tions analyzing its first 10 years on
the eve of the San Francisco meeting-.
By BRUCE W. MUNN
United Press Correspondent
The United Nations is 10 years
old next week. i
Viacheslav Molotov and t h e j
San Francisco Opera House are
not much changed since the his
toric charter signing ceremony
there on June 26, 1945.
But little else is the same.
The decade has been a be
wildering shift in the worlds
alliances and enmities. It has
teen a multitude of changes of
governments. It has witnessed
the retirement, defeat, death and
dishonor of men who played the
opera house stage at the UN's
birth.
Molotov, now as then Russia's
foreign minister, will be the
only chief representative of the
1945 "Big Five" United
States, Russia, Britain, France
and China returning to San
'Francisco for next week's an
niversary session.
President Eisenhower, who
addresses the opening session
Monday, had returned from Eu
rope exactly 10 years ago Sun
day to a tumultuous hero's wel
come from 4,000,000 in the
streets of New York. President
Truman, who spoke to the new
UN organization 10 years ago, is
writing his memoirs in Inde
pendence. Alger Hist Ex-Prisoner
Alger Hiss, the bright young
man who served as secretary
general of the conference, has
served a prison term .for lying
about turning government sec
rets over to the Reds. He is liv
ing quietly today in a small
Manhattan apartment.
There was a hint at those first
meetings 10 years ago of the
struggles, disappointments and
frustrations to come.
. The poker-faced Molotov rose
at the very first business session
to object to U.S. Secretary of
State Edward R. Stettinius Jr.,
serving as conference president
throughout.
Molotov demanded he did
not ask that Russia, Britain
and China alternate with the
United States. Foreign Secre
tary Anthony Eden, now Brit
ain's prime minister,, took a
conciliatory role and Molotov's
demand was accepted. It was a
minor token of massive battles
to come.
Disputes Foreshadowed
: There was argument then, too,
about admitting Argentina and
to look better fit
better wear better
This Father's Day, give Pop
the present he reay wants
a pair of famous Rough Rider
slacks. Their sleek, flowing lines
and rich fabrics do something
wonderful for a man. He'll
be the proudest Pop in the
neighborhood.

whether the Communist or London-exile
government of Poland
was entitled to a UN seat. That,
too, foreshadowed the member
ship disputes still raging.
Stettinius, who headed the
American delegation, is dead.
His chief adviser. Sen. Arthur
Vandenberg, is dead now, too.
Others of his assistants were
Harold Stassen, Sen. Tom Con-
nally and John Foster Dulles,
who lead3 the American dele
gation next Monday.
The French mission was led
by Foreign Minister Georges Bi
dault, no longer in the govern
ment, and the Chinese by T. V.
Soong who now lives quietly in
New York.
The 1945 session lasted 63
days, from April 25 until June
26 when 50 member nations
signed the UN charter. It was
a dull and dry session for the
most part. The New York Times
remarked on the lack of excite
ment or demonstration even at
the opening meeting.
But during those two months
the delegates hammered out the
document that stands as the
United Nations "constitution."

Hollywood
By ALINE MOSBY
United Press Correspondent
Hollywood i'U.R) This ' article
should be hidden from children,
but I'm still reeling from the
blow of un-
covering one
of the biggest
imperson
ations in show
business h i s-
tory.
One of top
10 TV stars
isn't that star
after all.
Aline Mosby His son
quietly began acting under the
old man's name and not one
viewer knew the difference.
The original Lassie of those
MGM movies is retired at the
ripe old age of 15. His three-year-old
son, also named Lassie,
took over during the current
"Lassie" CBS-TV series and has
reaped one of the most amazing
successes of the year.
The original Lassie did the
first couple of TV shows," said
trainer Rudd Weatherwax today
on the set of the popular series.
"Then I noticed he was watch
ing me too much for cues. His
eyesight isn't so good and he
would be looking for me instead
of acting. So his son, his stand-
in, took over."
Plays a Lady
Young Lassie is also a female
impersonator, as he portrays a
lady dog on the program. Dog
actors are usually male because
female dogs, unlike two-footed
ladies,, don't retain their com
plete fur coats the year around
Despite this double illusion, the
beautiful collie dog zoomed
ahead of many top-rated shows
starring two-footed actors, even
those wearing coonskin caps.
lassie ran nome with an
"Emmy award and other honors
from groups. He is so rich he
sports a $150 blue rhinestone
studded jacket. His earnings
have bought a 150-acre ranch,
with plenty of trees and hy
drants for his master and- the
Weatherwax stable of movie-TV
dogs. He even supports three
wives (the pups are given away
on the TV program).
"We've had to turn down
$200,000 worth of personal ap
pearances for Lassie," the train
er said. "He accepted several
for this summer, and his price
now is $2,000 a day.
Thousands of Letters
Lassie even guested on a
grown-ups show, Bob Hope, and
proved such a smash hit in a
satire on "This Is Your Life"
that even Hope collapsed laugh
ing on the stage.
"After that show my phone
didnt' stop ringing for days,"
smiled Weatherwax. "Lassie got
thousands of letters.
Weatherwax bought the rights
to the name "Lassie" for $40,000
from MGM when the contract
ended for Lassie movies. Now,
chuckled the trainer, the studio
"wishes they had- the name back
and I hear they want to borrow
Lassie for a movie."
Young Lassie lives in an air
conditioned room at the Weath
erwax home. His co-star, Tom
my Rettig, often week ends at
the house and the two sleep to
gether. ..
Meantime, the old retired Las
sie misses his former glory.
"When we leave for the studio
the old dog stands in the win
dow and barks," Weatherwax
said. "That's what these dogs
live for, you know to come to
the studio and be petted and
fussed over."

Romance
You're never too old for love
in Hollywood. Or, so the dis
patches from that entertainment
center indicate. There are re
peated references to the roman
tic interludes of gentlemen who
have passed the age of 60. Even
some fellows of 70 are alleged to
be "that way" over some beauti
ful blonde or reported "dating"
some glamorous brunette. How
ever, it may be a mistake for
some of these elderly Don Juans
to take the romances too serious
ly. I understand several have
become a little too active for
their years and while dancing
the samba at the Mocambo have
pulled tip lame. " :

Q. What are the measurements
of Britain's Queen Elizabeth?
A. Am not in possession of
those statistics. However, have
noted it reported her Majesty
has a 22 Vi inch waistline. And
that before she went on a weight
reduction diet, her waist meas
urement was 25 inches.

Red-haired women are said to

Might be very interesting to hear
Kaye addressing a jury of men.
I may fly up to Anchorage some
time just to be present on such
an occasion.

Heredity
Most of a man's characteristics
are inherited from his mother. A
healthy, intelligent woman of
strong character will have an
outstanding son regardless of the
makeup of the father. So claimed
Colonel E. R. Bradley, who car
ried the thought into breeding
thoroughbreds. The colonel bred
many great horses, including
four Kentucky Derby winners!
Get It Right
Get it right. There never was
a musical show on Broadway
titled "The Gay Divorcee." The
title of the stage hit in which
Fred Astaire and Claire Luce
were featured was "The Gay Di
vorce." When this play was
adapted for the films therewere
objections that any divorce
should be labeled as being "gay."
So the title was changed to "The
Gay Divorcee."
Northwest Demos
Protest Economy
In Power Projects
Portland (U.R) Democrats

priations Committee in money

"To meet urgent needs of the
region $500,000 has been re
quested for the new John Day
dam . . . Preliminary funds for
the key Ice Harbor dam on the
lower Snake were requested.
Planning funds for Green Peter
and Cougar dams were urged in
the preliminary budget. The
channel of the Columbia river
at its mouth wasto have been
deepened to 48 feet. Yet the sub
committee eliminated all these
items .from its recommenda?
tions."
The telegrams said the prelim
inary work must be done now o
avoid "grave time lag" later. It
urged that funds for the projects
be restored. .
Telegrams Signed
Signing the telegrams were
Monroe Sweetland and Mrs. Lil
ian Burton for Oregon; Joe1 Gluck
and Alice Hogan West for Wash
ington; Harry Wall and Mrs.
Leon Seedahl for Idaho, and Leo
C. Graybill and Mrs. Bernice
Kingsburg for Montana.
A decision to make the protest
was reached at a regional meet
ing of Democrats here.

Living Conditions During Atomic War
Houston, Tex. U.R) A fam
ily of four enters an under
ground H-bomb shelter for . a
three-day stay today to test for
the first time possible living
conditions during atomic war.
The family, Mr. and Mrs. John
R. Christmas and their son, Stan
ley, 13, and daughter, Mary Lou
ise, 11, were to lock themselves
in the shelter at 3:15 p.m. (PT).
They will keep for civil defense
officials an hour-by-hour account
of their existence in the shelter.
The shelter test is being con
ducted as part of a nationwide
civil defense drill, called "Opera
tion Alert."
Schedule Completed
Christmas and his wife, both
of whom experienced bombing
raids during World War II, sat
up most of Monday night com
pleting a tentative schedule for
their test.
They enter the shelter at the
sound of an all-city air raid alert.
Christmas said they figured it
would take them until 8 p.m. to
settle down, at which time they
will have their first meal in the
shelter.
One member of the family will
be on watch at all times, in
cluding the children, who will
take their turns on shifts the
last two nights the family is in
the shelter.
Mrs. Christmas, a dietitian's
aide at a Houston hospital, said
the family will have three regu

snacks between meals. The eat

Near-Strike Seen
In Steel Industry.
New York GJ.R) Iron Age
predicted today the steel indus
try "will come perilously close
to a strike" before a new wage
contract is signed with the CIO
United Steelworkers.
It also forecast that if Dave
McDonald, head of the Steel
workers union, gets what he
wants a hike of "between 12
and 15 cents an hour" in cur
rent negotiations, steel prices
will go up about $4.50 per ton. .
Iron Age commented that "it's
a simple matter of prestige and
economics for McDonald who is
bucking against the liberal set
tlement Walter Reuther won
from the auto industry.
"There's little love lost be
tween McDonald and Reuther.
Besides, McDonald has internal .
political problems. He's got to
make a good showing."
