There's Plenty To Be
Thankful for Despite
World-Wide Tension
. BY H. D. QUIGG
United Presi Correspondent
New York U.R) This is
Thanksgiving week, and the
world is wound up taut enough
to snap. What, then, of this
Thanksgiving?
For what to give thanks? Well
precisely for .what we've got.

dignity of the .very old. "The
compassion shown the sick. The

For Rain and Snow
Then, for nature and its pre
scribed autumn tranquilizers: the
barbiturate of rain . . . the opiate
of Indian summer, dizzy with
wide-angle technicolor, -spinning
with breaths of what Emily Dick
inson called the "altered air."
And for the man-made season
for the oncoming Christmas
shopping and its sweet exaspera
tion. For the shared misery of
slush underfoot. For the creative
anguish of making shopping lists
. . . the benison of an overstuffed
chair at the end of a shopping
day. . .the -perkiness of Christ
mas cards and the holiness of
their import.
For turkey hash. Whatsamat
ter? It's food, ain't it?
For the -smells. In New York,
the tang of chestunts whistle
roasting on the street corner. The
close mingling smell of crowded
department stores. For leaves to

Chore of Cooking
For the chore of Thanksgiving
cooking, with its rewards of
table-side gluttony. Even for the
chore of carving, where they
separate the men from the boys.
They have to, so the boys can't

by frustrated carvers.
For the Thanksgiving school

West's Longshoremen
End Sympathy Strike
With No I LA Thanks
New York (U.R) West Coast
longshoremen returned to work
today with no thanks from the
striking International Longshore
men's Association for a 24-hour
demonstration which shut down
the nation's entire waterfront.
Representatives of the ILA
whose strike still held a stran
gled shipping from Portland,
Me., to Brownsville, Tex., were
to resume negotiations with the
New York Shipping Association
this afternoon under federal me
diation. Talks proceeded under pres
sure from the White House that
they settle their differences and
put the nation back in the ship
ping business.
More than 200 ships lay idle
on the East and Gulf coasts. Al
most no merchant shipping was
moving. Only tankers, handled
by another union, and military
vessels and their cargoes were
unaffected.
No Turkey Stuffing
New York grade sources esti
mated the strike was costing
the nation S20 million a day.
That business loss could be fig
ured at S60 million to date since
the strike began Friday morn
ing. One immediate loser was the
Thanksgiving turkey stuffing.
Two and one-half million pounds
of chestnuts are aboard ships
in New York Harbor and have
no chance of reaching market

Youth Attends
By MRS. H. H. CHAPMAN
Hornbrook Bil Holland, son
of Mr. and Mrs. Dave Holland, of
Camp Lowe, was one of the
students selected to represent
Yreka High school at the annual
YMCA Youth conference held at
Anderson, Calif. Saturday Nov.
17. Selection of the students was
made by the teachers of the var
ious schools participating.
The theme of the conference
this year was "will your anchor
hold?" The panel of each school
has its own topic, Yreka's being
"my school's reputation."
The panel of experts was com
posed of Dr. Rachel Sandrock,
M.D., the Rev. Emory Nester,
Mrs. Grace Hansen, and educat
or Robert A. Teckler. The noon
dinner speaker was Dr. Glen
Moran. a psychiatrist.
Around
Hollywood
By ALINE MOSBY
United Press Correspondent
Hollywood (U.R) A seven-vear-old
actress won television's
Cinderella role of the year
the title part
for "Eloise"
by being an
Eloise herself.
Evelyn Rud
ie, a native
who lives right
on Hollywood
b 1 v d., was
awarded the
role after hun-
Aline Mosbr dreds of mop
pets were screened by CBS. Kay
Thompson, a nightclub star who
wrote the book about the precoc
ious Eloise, spent a day with
Evelyn and decided she was a
Eloise-ish as any little girl could
be.
"I'm glad I won because I'm
going to be an actress when I
grow up and have a big house
with a swimming pool and a lit
tle house on the beach," said
Evelyn.
Break for Lunch
The new star and I had lunch
during a recess from rehearsals
of "Eloise," to be unveiled on
CBS' "Playhouse 90" Thursday
night.
Evelyn is no beginner. A
friend took her to see director
Henry Koster and he launched
her in show business with a bit
in "Daddy Long Legs." She has
appeared in othere films and on
TV. She is one of the country's
youngest ice figure skaters.
Miss Thompson's hilarious
book relates the adventures of a
little girl who lives in New
York's Plaza hotel. But the story
also had pathos because her
divorcee mother seldom was
around. The hotel was the child's
only home and the hotel workers
her only friends.
TV Version Different
The TV version, however, has
been changed to destroy that
point. The TV Eloise merely
will be hiding at the hotel while
her parents carry on a front
paged divorce battle. There's
even a scene in which Monty
Wooley and Louis Jourdan save
Eloise from being photographed
by newspaper cameramen, a fate
worse than death in TV stories.
"The director gives me a rose
every day if I'm good," an
nounced Evelyn while she
bounced on the restaurant seat.
"But I played a trick on him. I
gave him coffee mixed with
water and told him it was a
Coke!"
Then Evelyn, and only child,
lapsed into a fantasy world and
whispered, "I have twin pretend
brothers and a pretend sister and
we play games together."

Christmas merchandise also is

ILA President Capt. William
V. Bradley sent a sharply word
ed telegram Monday to Harry
Bridges, head of the rival West
Coast International Longshore
men's Union, telling him to keep
out of the ILA's business.
"Our organization resents the
interference of you and your
officers with our negotiations,"
Bradley said. He further blasted
the ILWU Monday night and
said it was attempting to profit
by the ILA's strike.
Another union official said a
separate telegram had been ad
dressed to West Coast longshore
men, not to union officials,
thanking them for their sym
pathy. He said there was no
inconsistency in the two tele
grams. The West Coast dockers split
from the ILA, then an AFL
affiliate, in the 1930s after a
bloody waterfront war led by
Bridges. They joined the CIO.
The ILWU was later expelled
from the CIO for Communist
leanings. The ILA, since ex
pelled from the AFL for cor
ruption, has pointedly shunned
the ILWU for its Communist
taint.
Little progress was made in
negotiations Monda; despite a
White House plea to restore the
vital flow of shipping.
Conference
Youth in the armed forces was
presented by representatives
from each branch of the armed
forces. Mrs. Holland was among

Change in Bootlegging
Method Brings Arrest
Chicago (U.R) Herman' David,
64, will have two years in prison
to reflect on the folly of chang
ing a successful bootlegging
style.
He was sentenced Monday
following seizure by AlcoTiol
Tax Unit agents who found him
driving a car loaded with 51
gallons of alcohol.
During prohibition David
won the nickname "Motorcycle
Mike" by hauling moonshine
on a motorcycle and easily out
distancing any pursuing law
officers.
"If he had been on his motor
cycle, they never would have
caught him," commented one
official.

Horn Tooting,
Mexico City IU.PJ If you
own a 1934 Ford with a loud
horn, you're much better off in
this town than driving a 1956
luxury car.
Many an unwary tourist who
has found himself swept along
in the stream of somewhat un
ruly traffic here has wished he
were caught in a herd of stam
peding buffalo instead.
The Federal District's traffic
department has sworn to tame
the city's wild drivers especial
ly bus and taxi jockeys at all
costs. It has just, installed an ele
gant new traffic light system de
signed to keep cars moving at a
slow and steady pace.
But so far, efforts to synchro
nize the lights remind one of
the first attempts to synchronize
machine-gun-fire through air
plane propellers.
The lights are only one phase
of the official war against the
individualistic drivers. Traffic
cops are parked on virtually
every busy corner ready to nab
the man who bears down on
his horn and drives in the direc
tion he is looking, which is gen
erally straight ahead.
Not long ago, the traffic de
partment announced that horn
blowers would be fined 100
pesos (S8) except in cases of
emergency.
Horn Too Loud
The first man hauled into
court for honking apparently
was unimpressed by his sum
mons. As he pulled up in front of
the court building, he blasted
his horn for an attendant to
come and watch his car while
he went in to pay the fine.
"We have stiff regulations,"
said traffic boss Antonio Gomez
Velazco, "but not enough men
to enforce them. For every vio
lator we haul in, there are 100
running loose."
A concentrated drive one
night netted more than 150 tipsy
drivers, 30 of them behind the
