Washington U.R Secre-i
tary of State John Foster Dul-j
les was the principal architect j
of the "Eisenhower Doctrine" to
warn Russia bluntly to keep
hands off the oil-rich Middle
East.
But like many an important
policy the Dulles idea apparent
ly is taking on the name of a
president. From the minute the
plan was privately unfolded it
was labeled the "Eisenhower
Doctrine."
In the same fashion, the "Mon
roe Doctrine" of 133 years ago
retained the name of President
James Monroe although John
Quincy Adams, then secretary of
state, was the principal author.
And similarly the 1947 "Truman
Doctrine" to save Greece and
Turkey from Communism came
while George C. Marshall was
secretary, of state but kept Tru
man name.
The "Eisenhower Doctrine,"
being presented congressional
leaders at a White House meet

Around Hollywood
Hollywood (li.R) When the
floats roll by the TV cameras,
today in the Pasadena Tourna
ment of Roses
Parade, you
may spot a
quite, grav
haired grand
mother sitting
on a street cor
ner. A 1 t h ough
Mrs. Isabelie
Coleman looks
as if she should
Aline Mosbr
be home knitting on the
front porch, she's Pasadena's
champion float-builder for the
famous parade.
Always Wins
For more than 50 years she's
designed and "produced" the
mammoth display of flowers and
every year since 1910 her floats
have won at least one prize. This
year she has six floats in the
parade, and in view of the estim
ated 60 million TV viewers for
the event, she's a major TV
"scenery" builder.
The advent of TV to the Rose
Parade has altered the floats.
"This year some of my clients
wanted their floats designed with
TV in mind," Mrs. Colman said
as she watched college students
glue carnations onto one float
before the parade began.
"That means strong colors
red, yellow, blue and definite
outlines. Otherwise in the long
shots you can't see what the
float represents.
"But other clients ignore TV
and want their floats made of
expensive flowers, which are the
pastels orchids, roses and so
forth."

catch the TV cameras. Another
Coleman float, for Occidental
Life Insurance, consists of three
30-foot wide "flowers" made of
hundreds of blossoms. Its pastel
clors may be lost on TV but
everybody tells her this will win
a prize.
Mrs. Coleman starts in June to
design her floats. The clients ap
prove her sketches. Then she
hires workmen to construct the
outline in chicken wire and
metal rods over special body
less automobiles in a huge quon
set hut that is her workroom.
Three days before the parade the
spectators strip the floats and
take home the blossoms."
Since the Rose Parade has
been shown on TV, viewers
write Mrs. Coleman their sugges
tions for the floats. Last year
one man suggested she recon
struct Yellowstone Park, com
plete with geyser.
"Now you know you can't put
a geyser on a float," she sighed.
Detroit Judge Gives
Youth Time to Think
Detroit iU.R) Judge Joseph
Gillis put a 17-year-old boy,
charged with a $25 larcey, un
der a $25,000 bond. When the
trial came up a week later, he
explained the unusually high
bond:
"I wanted the lad to sit quiet
ly in jail and think things over."
The boy, who quit high school
in the 12th grade, was asked if
he knew the maximum penalty.
"Yes sir, four years," he an
swered. "That's right," the Judge re
plied. "For what you gained,
that works out to S6.50 a year,
about 54 cents a month or 14
cents a week. You've already
spent a week in jail. Your earn
ing power isn't so good, is it."
