A Nichol't Worth of . . . Comment On This and That y HARMAN W. NICHOLS United Ptm faaHiM Writer Washington 0J.R) Folks who work at the U.S. Copyright Office generally can tell what's on the public's flSJ mind without looking at the papers or lis tening . to . the radio. Last year, it, was the Army McCarthy hearings which inspired a m a teur song writ ers to go to work. The pros Harman Nichols too. One ditty called "Point of Order" finally broke out on wax and made somebody a bundle. -' Hurricane Hazel made her in fluence felt, too. The big wind came in for copyright considera tion dressed in such titles as "She Blew and She Blew" and "Whither. Now, Hazel?" Now Davy Crockett has cap tured the nation's fancy. Kids mostly. There are Davy Crock ett coonskin toppers, which no six-year-old boy would be with out even in the swelter of sum mer. Also Daisy Crockett bon nets, also with tails, albeit white ones,. grace the heads of little girls. . Davy on Box Tops Some of the titles are rather interesting. Some will be copy righted by Uncle Sam; some won't. Paul Lasky and Jack Liebman came up with a song titled "Davy Crockett and the Liberty Bell," which probably will be accompanied by the ring ing of mallet on brass. Others have broken through the bonds of song. It was inevit able that Davy, musket and all, should invade the somewhat crowded field of cereals. Most youngsters won't eat their oats unles they can put the box on the kitchen table and look at a cow poke. The Old Virginia Packing Co., Inc., has registered copyright claims on labels with these ex citing titles: "Davy Crockett in a Jam with Congress." "Davy Crockett 'in a Jam at the Alamo." "Davy Crockett in a Jam with a Bear." . "Davy Crockett in a Jam with an Indian." The box tops, doubtless will be returnable, along with two bits or so, for some frilly me mento of "The King of the Wild Frontier." A man can get rid of a lot of oats and puffed rice that way. Echoes Around World The now famous original "Bal lad of Davy Crockett" was copy righted by Wonderland Music. Lives there a soul with a gramo phone, radio or TV set who hasn"t by now heard it? The Crockett craze has even Replacement Slated For Damaged Sno-Cat Portland A new Tucker Sno-Cat was to arrive today at Timberline lodge on Mt. Hood to replace the one damaged in a recent accident on the 10,000 foot level of the ski-famed mountain. Richard L. Kohnstamm, lodge operator, said the mishap was a "freak," caused by soft snow. Eight youths and a driver were travelling to high summer ski ing fields when the tractor tumbled over. The occupants es caped before it rolled down the slope, and none was injured. . Kohnstamm said the replace ment was ordered from the Tucker Sno-Cat company, Med ford. The damaged Sno-Cat will be repaired - and put back into operation, he reported. reached Zippy, the chimpanzee of the Howdy Doody show. He used to dres like a civilized ape, in the modern manner. But now the rubber replicas of Zippy, which are on sale in toy stores come in buckskin britches and a coonskin hat, wardrobe copy righted by the Rushton Co. But what stopped me was a copyrighted application by the Robert H. Clark Co. This outfit dabbles in smelly stuff for the bath.

Wilson Americans To Learn Of Tighter Grip On Foreign Travel By LYLE C. WILSON United Press Correspondent - Washington ttJ.R) Instead of being over and a big victory for somebody, the dispute over the issue of U. S. passports to suspected aub versives is only beginning to boil. A m e r i can citizens will learn, as the 1 argument de-j velopes, that the United States long has had a tighter grip on their for eign travel than is imposed, for example, by Canada, Franc or Britain. A footnote to that fact, how ever, is that all French and British security precautions against subversion are notably weaker than in the United States. Canadian security is rated good. Americans also will learn that Franklin D. Roosevelt is vigor ously on record in this dispute. FDR lined up with those who would deny U.S. passports to un reliable citizens. He issued an executive order in the peacetime year of 1938 expressly authoriz ing the secretary of state "in his discretion to refuse to issue a passport." Truman on Record Former President Truman Is similarly on record and his sec retary of state, Dean Acheson, made the stringent regulations effective through the passport division which was headed by the efficient and strong willed Ruth B. Shipley. Miss Francis Knight recently succeeded Mrs, Shipley. Miss Knight Is cut from the Shipley pattern, which means that she will do everything in her power to prevent issuing a U.S. passport to any individual who, on the balance of evidence, may reasonably be judged to in tend knowingly to advance the cause of Communism. . The secretary of state for SO years, perhaps always, has exer cised discretion in the issue of passports. However, before World War I it was not necessary to have a passport to travel overeas. Now it is. Under the regulations inherited by Miss Knight from the Roosevelt and Truman administrations and as the Eisenhower administration wants them enforced. Miss Knight will keep American communists and their active sympathizers at home, so far as the courts will permit. . , Avoid Legal Showdown The Eisenhower administra tion avoided a legal showdown on the issue of a passport for Dr. Otto Nathan, a German-born professor at New York Univer sity and executor of the late Al bert Einstein's estate. U. S. Dist rict Judge Henry A. Schwein haut ordered the State Depart ment on June 1 to issue the pass port and tne order was sup ported by the U.S. Court of Ap peals to the extent of ordering a further departmental hearing. The State Department ducked the question by giving Nathan his1, traveling papers, although under protest. It had denied the passport on grounds that Nathan had been a German Communist in 1933 and since had associated with Reds and their fronts. Nathan denied membership but refused to swear he had not belonged to Communist front groups. The department backed up again -this month. It reversed a decision that foreign editor Jo seph Clark of the Communist newspaper Daily Worker could not travel to cover the Geneva Big Four meeting. And after six years of refusing a passport, the department issued' one to Dr. Martin D. Kameii of Washing ton University,. St. Louis, Mo., an atomic scientist formerly ac cused of Communist affiliations. His passport had been seized in 1947. : Now Comet Paul Robeson , Now comes Paul Robeson, Negro singer, demanding a pass port but refusing to swear he is not and never has been a Com munist. The chances of Robeson getting papers for travel in Eu rope are slight, although he was authorized Tuesday to keep a re cital engagement in Canada. No passport is required to cross that border. The administration's alterna tives are these: 1. Scrap the regulations whereunder the State Depart ment has kept certain . unbail able citizens at' borne. 2. Select a good case and carry it to the Supreme Court. 3. Appeal to, Congress for more specific legislation on the subject. Congressmen might hesitate to vote against a bill which pro vided merely the refusal of a passport to persons reasonably suspected of seeking foreign travel to work against the best interests of the United States. 117 S.
