MAIL TRIBUNE
Editorial Correspondence ...
New York City, N. Y.: "Pancho Villa, the gorilla," in the. zoo,
fs getting more human every day.
This afternoon, for example, he peeked through the key hole
of the dcor of his compartment to observe the antics of the two
chimpanzees. One of the latter was sleeping on his back twiddling
his toes aloft, the other was snoozing on the wall shelf. There
seemed to be nothing worthy of Pancho's time but he kept one
eye glued to that for as long as we observed him; which must have
been 10 or 15 minutes.
The attendant asked if we had ever seen the old boy light a
cigar and smoke it?
We admitted we never had but would like to and asked
what time the "smoker" might be expected.
"Only when Pancho asks for it," he replied.
"Is his English good?" we asked.
The attendant quite solemnly said he couldn't talk but was
fairly eloquent in the "sign language."
"We don't try to force him," he concluded, "he resents com
pulsion but he seldom wants a smoke except after he has eaten
end it is hot outside, then he sometimes goes through the motions
of puffing a cigar and we give him a stogy and a match and away
he goas."
"Where does he scratch the match?" we asked.
"On the floor," was the reply still, without a smile.
"Does he turn his back on the audience?" we inquired.
"Usually. He is not very social, he doesn't like crowds watch
ing him, but he does like a good two-bit cigar."
On one of our former visits-to New York we mentioned the
fact that certain strange individuals make their living by polling
coins through the sidewalk gratings via long magnetized cords. We
found few of our family who believed this but thought it a good
bit of "MANUFACTURED" Americana. Believe it or ,not we
met our old friend down on Lexington Avenue this morning
behind the Waldorf Astoria. He was attired in a faded old over
coat and a shabbier hat and needed a shave, but while we were
there he snagged two dimes and a nickel and put them carefully
in a dirty cloth bag. There were several other witnesses a'nd
we asked the old boy his name, but he shook his head and started
up town. Probably like Pancho Villa, he doesn't like crowds.
.
We envied the old boy his eye sight. Those grating areas
are desp and dark but he spotted the loose change immediately
and it didn't take him any time at all to make contact and pull
up the coin-line hand over hand, like Old Dave fishing through
the ice. According to one member of the small crowd he makes
an average of ten dollars a day again nice work if you LIKE it!
No rain thus far today and a glimpse of the sun from time
to time, but the same cold wind. Our guess is the weather is a
big factor in the -decline in baseball batting averages as well as
gate raceipts.
The L. Carpenters left today for Carmel via Boston, Chicago,
Medford, "u.s.w.," to their ocean-beach home in Carmel. Sorry
to see them go. Also sorry Paul Shearer, formerly of Medford,
now of Washington, D. C, could not stay longer.
New York City is a fabulous place and extremely exciting,
but in spite of the 8 millions here perhaps because of them
it is lonely at times.
From a newspaper angle, there is nothing in the world to
approach it so many unbelievable things happen, not now and
then, but ALL the time. Only yesterday, across the park from
this hotel, around nine a.m., for example, a teenage girl, only
14, went to the top-floor of the hotel in which she lived with an
aunt, and after police and firemen had spent half an hour trying
to prevent her, she jumped 11 stories to her death. IMAGINE a
little girl, with all her life before her, being so desperate and so
upset emotionally, as to end it all like that. If that incident were
put in a novel, the universal verdict would be "absurd, contrived,
utterly untrue to life as it is. Little girls just don't do such things."
But Alga Casanova, of the Hotel Walton, DID! R.W.R.
Opportunities Eyed
By Roger W. Babson
BY ROGER W. BABSON
Babson Park, Mass. During
the past winter I have used my
spare time trying to decide what
i n d u s t ries
have the best
o pportunities.
Among these,
the following
seem the lead
ers. The oil in
dustry, repre
sented by any
of the large
c o m p a n i es.
Roger w Baisn The chemical
industry, in which I consider the
American Agricultural Chemical
Co. of Florida one of the best.
Household Heating by uranium,
with American Radiator & Stan
dard Sanitary the most conserv
ative and National U.S. Radiator
perhaps the best- speculation.
Electronics and Thermodynam
ics, with Westinghouse Air
Brake perhaps the best specula
t i o n. Earthmoving Machinery,
with Caterpillar Tractor the
most speculative and Interna
tional Harvester perhaps the
most conservative purchase. The
Microwave Industry, of which
Hughes Products of Los Angeles
and the Motorola Co. of Chicago
are among the leaders. Greeting
Cards., with a Gibson, Hallmark,
or Norcross trademark. The
Broadcasting of Power for small
kitchen utensils may be devel
oped by the Radio Corporation
of America.
Reasons Cited
There are four basic factors
which I am considering jn select
ing these industries:
(1) Labor Shortage. This will
continue due to the desire for
four more years of education
and for retirement at 65, and to
other factors which will offset
the population gr jwth. This will
further strengir.en the power of
Labor Unions.
(2) Automation. At first glance
this should cause unemployment,
but automation will be so ex
pensive that it will come about
only slowly. Furthermore, al
though automation reduces
greatly the number of employees
needed, yet the quality of the
employees needed will be con
siderably upgraded. Automation
for many years will barely off
set the possible shortage of labor
under present conditions.
(3) Inflation. We ought to fight
inflation in any form, but it
will slowly creep up on us, re
sulting in a gradual increase in
the cost of living. Of course, if
World War III should come, the
value of the dollar will drop
'from 50 cents to 25 cents, but I
am not looking for anything like
this now.
Government Expenses, barring
Friday. May 24, 1957
World War III, should hold fair
ly steady. The development of
missiles should reduce defense
expenses in both the Navy and
Army. This should offset any in
crease arising from the growth
of bureaucratic government.
Trends To Watch
(1) Higher Education will be
considered a necessity. Not only
will teachers receive higher sal
aries," but they must work hard
er to earn the same by having
double sessions,. by the further
use of television, and by prop
er grading. Anytime there may
be discovered a completely new
revolutionary system of educa
tion. Colleges will cease as res
idence schools and become day
schools with elaborate parking
facilities.
(2) Automobiles and Parking.
Unlej the trend for larger cars
and automobile accidents soon
turn downward, with greatly in
creasing "4 lane" highways, the
automobile industry will be
leveling off. There will be more
money in providing parking fa
cilities than in the sale of auto
mobiles. (3) Community Churches. The
Church is the hope of America,
but young people are giving less
attention to formal creeds and
the old religious dogmas. Denom
inations are meaning less to the
coming generation. I forecast a
great growth in community
churches attended by a large
number of people of different
denominations. Churches will be
a located adjacent to municipal
playgrounds, lakes, rivers, etc.
(4) Shopping Centers for re
tail stores will be followed by
brain centers for insurance com
panies, legal firms, architects,
etc. The suburban population
definitely will increase, attract
ing churches, YMCA's, and other
organizations, as well as retail
stores. As the working popula
tion grows and working hours
lessen, the time given to sports
will increase; in fact, the sale of
sporting goods will increase.
Stores in the downtown metro
politan cities will gradually ap
peal more to men who have not
the time to visit shopping cent
ers. With self-service specialty
stores, variety stores, and the up-to-date
"dime store" in the
dense downtown districts of all
cities.

THE PRESIDENT'S PLEA
FOR FOREIGN AID
The President was in good
form on Tuesday. The message
to Congress on foreign aid, and
the shortened
version of it
which he
b r o a dcast in
the evening,
were clear and
full of convic
tion. They were
well designed
to win the ar-
0 li mpnt with
Walter Lippmann f
indeed to si
lence, those who do not like
anything about foreign aid and
would like to see the end of
it all.
The question which remains
is whether in addressing him
self to the extreme opponents,
the President did not fail to
come to grips with the practical
problem, which is the desire of
Senators to cut these appropria
tions so they are not opposed
to the policy.
For there is missing in the
message and in the speech any
reference to the real issue be--fore
Congress. That is not wheth
er the policy of foreign aid is
a good one but whether Con
gress should accept the Admin
istration's estimate of what is
needed to carry out the policy.
The President's argument on
Tuesday came down to saying:
"If you believe in the purposes
of foreing aid, you will support
my estimate of how much money
I need." Yet, in fact, it is not
the policy nor its purposes which
are seriously attacked. It is the
estimates which are under criti
cal scrutiny. The President does
not have to worry about an
extremist like Sen. Goldwater,
but about Sens. Knowland,
Bridges, and Lyndon Johnson
who support the policy but dis
agree with the estimates.
THE fact is that in a matter of
this kind there can be no such
Future of Stassen
In GOP Doubtful, But
Possibilities Seen
By LYLE C. WILSON
United Press Correspondent'
Washington (IP) The move
ment of Harold E. Stassen to
ward a new and important posi
tion within
the Republican
Party seems
now to be an
e s t a b 1 ished
fact. He has
not reached it
yet, but Stas
sen is mov
ing. The cur
rent issue of
Newsweek re-
Lyle C. Wilson
lates that President Eisenhower's
appointments secretary, Bernard
M. Shanley, recently was dis
cussing privately some of the
Republican presidential possi
bilities for 1980. He mentioned
several and added:
"You would make a big mis
take to underestimate Stassen's
ability as a campaigner."
Political writers who buried
Stassen last year after his flukey
effort to prevent renomination
of Vice President Richard M.
Nixon now are taking another
look. Stassen still is a long way
from a position which would en
able him to make a substantial
challenge for the 1960 Republi
can presidential nomination. He
has powerful political enemies
including most conservatice Re
publicans and, especially, the
partisans of Vice President
Nixon.
Present Job Helpful
Stassen's return from politi
cal obscurity, of course, must
come about wholly from his job
as United States disarmament
negotiator. For some weeks now
he has been receiving headline
credit for some of the progress
toward an armaments agree
ment with the Kremlin. There
has not been much progress, but

thing as an exact estimates of
how much money is needed. The
President now believes that $3.8
billion is the right figure, and
that to cut below it would be
to descend from a safe bet to a
reckless gamble. Sen. Bridges
believes that $3.4 billion rather
than $3.8 billion is the right
figure, and who can prove that
10 per cent more or less is the
difference between prudence and
recklessness?
The moral, it seems to me, is
that as between varying esti
mates, none of them precise or
certain,- the country cannot de
cide which estimate is the right
one. It must decide whose judg
ment it will trust.
It is not possible for the pub
lic to make its own estimates of
what is necessary. On the whole,
the President, under whom the
policy is being made and ad
ministered, is entitled to the
benefit of the doubt. He cannot
hope to be exactly right even
perhaps within a margin of error
of 10 per cent. But his chances
of being very wrong are con
siderably less than are those of
any one private citizen or even
Senator who is not at the cen
ter of these complex operations.
THE President has himself re
duced by over 10 per cent
the estimates he offered in Janu
ary, and a certain reduction of
his present estimate now seems
probable. Sen. Bridges would
like to cut another 10 per cent
of the reduced estimate, and it
will not be easy for the Admin
istration to prove that he is gam
bling recklessly.
But there is. a line, though
no one can say exactly where
it is, below which to cut more
is to risk a failure somewhere
of the policy. That line, we might
say, is this side of what Sen.
Bridges proposes.

to give Stassen much urgently

Stassen suddenly has what the
public relations experts call a
good press. The New York rack

in the United States. He would
be hard to beat in a national
convention or in an election.
Could Be Staisen
Stassen could be that Ameri

if for no other reason than that
he is dealing with the Russians.
He may not bring it off, prob

surely are running through Stas

he is ambitious, twice an agres

three times elected governor of
Minnesota. He is now 50 years
old.
The word in mid-winter was
that Stassen hoped to run next
year for governor of Pennsyl

Editorial Comment
EVANGELISTS
Madison Square Garden,
which has been the scene of ex
hibitions and performances in
wide variety prize fights, bas
ketball games, horse shows, poli
tical rallies, etc. is now host for
a religious revival led by Evan
gelist Billy Graham. Long plan
ned, the services are designed as
a major onslaught against the
forces of Satan in the nation's
metropolis. Billy Graham him
self stands as a David attacking
Goliath, one man against the
host of evil entrenched. He has
as sponsors of his campaign
many, but by no means all, of
the Protestant clergy of the city.
Graham is the modern version
of the old-time evangelist. A
vertiable Apollo for good looks,
he preaches with the fervor and
intensity characteristic of South
ern orators'. His is the old-time
gospel, preached with all the
conviction of a believer in the
assurances of Heaven for the
saved and eternal damnation for
ttie sinners.
This old-style evangelism has
been pretty well out of style for
a good many years. "Protracted
meetings" or "revivals" which
used to be very common with in
dividual churches and at occa
sional intervals with Whole
towns are rare. Most of the tent
meeting type are left to the sects
which have proliferated in great
numbers in recent years.
The fame of many of the old
time evangelists lingers. The
Wesleys, John and Charles, were
great evangelists, preaching an
intensely personal religion
which called for giving of testi
mony and made the Anen corn
er an outlet for lay enthusiasm.
George Whitfield, their associ
ate, made seven trips to America
on evangelistic missions. Ben
jamin Franklin used to go to
hear him preach, but Ben never
became a convert. Jonathan Ed
wards was a powerful preacher
in colonial times so powerful,
it is reported, that when he
preached on Hell some of his
auditors became so frightened
they seized the posts of the
church for support.
Famous in the latter half of
the 19th century was Dwight L.
Moody, a sweet-spirited . soul,
who teamed with song leader
Ira D. Sankey in evangelistic
campaigns in this country and
in England. Then there was Bil
ly Sunday, the ex-big-league ball
player, dramatic, intense,, who
made soul saving a mass opera
tion. Conservatives scorned his
methods, but he drew the crowds
and recorded impressive figur
es of conversions. Another revi
valists who flourished a third of
a century ago was Biederwolf
who had Homer Rodheaver for
his song leader. A Southern
evangelist who chased the devil
around the stumps and out of
the hearts of as many sinners as
he could was Sam Jones. His
fame as preacher and story-teller
was so great he would draw the
unwashed as well as the unsav
ed to his meetings. They seemed
to enjoy the experience of being
flayed for their sins, even
through, after sitting - for two
hours on the plain plank seats
they sought refreshments at the
nearest beer keg when it was
over.
Billy Graham, not as dramatic
as Billy Sunday, has had the un
usual success of drawing support
from the "upper levels" of so
ciety, and ample attention from
the Hearst and the Luce-ite
press Sharpley critical "Chris
tian Century" regards Graham
as a sinister and strange "new
junction of Madison avenue and
the Bible Belt." On the eve of
his Madison Square Garden op
ening a Roman Catholic cleric
advised Catholics not to attend
the Graham services. But 1500
New York churches are sponsor
ing the Graham meetings, in
cluding some of the biggest and
most famous in Manhattan.

ord, that seems to be what Stas
sen wants.

viction is growing that Russian
leaders realize the catastrophe
which would hit the Soviet Un
ion as well as Western countries
in an atomic war.
Presidept Eisenhower said at
his press conference in Wash
ington Thursday: "There has got
to be progress in some kind of
disarmament or there is going
to be no reduction in world
tensions."
But Adm. Arthur W. Radford,
chairman of the joint chiefs of
staff, voiced the pessimism of
a strong group of officials in the
armed forces and the State De
partment over the possibility of
reaching any agreement which
the Russians could not violate.
"We cannot trust the Russians
on this or anything," Radford
said. "The Communists have
broken their word with every
country with which they have
made an agreement."
Guy Mollet, France's 22nd
post-war premier, resigned after
being defeated by a vote of 250
213 in the National Assembly,
the dominating house of Par
liament. As the result, France seemed
faced by a long period of ex
treme political confusion and in
stability. Mollet's defeat came techni
cally on an austerity tax pro
gram. Actually it was a vote
against his whole program, in
cluding means of ending the
nationalist revolt in Algeria.
There appeared to be no pros
pect that any successor to Mol
let could form a government
which would hold a safe ma
jority in Parliament.
Mollet, a Socialist, fell on the
34th vote of confidence he had
been compelled to seek in his
nearly 16 months in office as
head of a coalition cabinet. His
term had been longer than that
of any French premier since the
war had enjoyed if enjoyed is
the right word.
In Italy, too, months of In
stability seemed likely. Adone
Zoli, a 69-year-old lawyer, form
ed a cabinet consisting entirely
of members of the Christian
Democratic Party. It will be in
a minority in the' Chamber of
Deputies, and must depend on
other parties for support.
Zoli succeeded Antonio Segni,
who resigned because the right
Wing Socialists withdrew from
his cabinet coalition.
Former Premier Giuseppe Pel
la was named foreign minister
in the new cabinet in place of
Gaetano Martino. One reason for
Segni's fall was the criticism of
Martino by Christian Democrats
as well as members of other
parties. It was complained that
Martino was not sufficiently as
sertive in Western Allied coun
cils with the result, that Italy
was playing only a minor part.
