Europe's Six-Nation CoaD, Steefl
Pool ' Completes Transition' Period
By CHARLES RIDLEY
United Press Correspondent
Luxembourg W Eur
ope's first great step towards
economic and political in
tegration the six-nation coal
and steel pools has come of
ge. Its five-year "transition"
period is over.
The mighty economic ven
ture, which has been dubbed
"the great European revolu
tion of our time," is fully
launched.
. As of Monday, France, Ger
many. Italy. Holland. Belgium I in broad terms the directors
and Luxembourg had fully of the most daring economic
evolved a single market for
half of Western Europe's coal
and nearly two thirds of its
steel. They had torn down na
tional tariff barriers, quota
and currency restrictions, car
tels "and price-rigging which
have hampered Europe's econ
omy for centuries.
Comparatively minor prob
lems, such as that of high
priced coal in Belgium,' re
mained to be ironed out. But
Mr. Adams and Eve Offers
Untenable Assumption
Show Folk Are Top Breed
Br WILLIAM EWALD
United Press Correspondent
New York !W "Show
People Are No People," an
acquaintance of mine used to
croon to a tune by Irving Ber
lin. There was considerable
truth in his contention. Ac
tors, for the most part, are
not for real. Off-stage, they
are a pretty uninteresting
bunch and many of them seem
to spend a good deal of time
huddled around the chilly fire
of their own egos. There are
exceptions, but I would say
most actors I have met have
struck me as a kind of re
tarded breed of adult.
Habit Carried Over
A TV producer I once in
terviewed put it this way: "All
of us like to stand on our
heads when we're kids it
gets us attention. The pecu
liar thing about actors is that
they stand on their heads
during adulthood."
Which brings us to "Mr,
Adams and Eve," a CBS-TV
series that operates on the as
sumption that show folk are
witty, brilliant and almost un
bearably chic (to be chic in
show circles means you kiss
instead of shaking hands
when introduced).
It is an untenable assump
tion, one that even the fawn
ing movie fan magazines have
largely abandoned. But How
ard Duff and Ida Lupino, who
play the leads in "Mr. Adams
and Eve," seem to have failed
to receive the word. They go
on perpetuating the myth that
in Hollywood everyone is just
mad, mad, mad, utterly mad,
do you hear?
Impossible To Accept
And, of course, as a result,
the series is impossible to ac
cept. It is not for real. It is
a series purportedly about
show folk, but it actually is
peopled by phony characters
involved in phony situations,
all of it peppered with phony
dialogue.
It is a nonsense series and
its "fun" is ersatz. Tuesday
night's plot was typical and
I won't even bother to recount
it except to say. that it was
a "fun" excursion into astrol
ogy with Eve (Aquarius) and
her husband (Saggitarius)
But let's face it, like almost
all the installments in this
series, it was strictly Taurus

ers to look for it.

experiments ever attempted
in Europe could justifiably
claim to have carried out the
necessary "adaptation" which
they faced when the "Schu
man Plan" pool was launched
in 1952.
It was at 3 o'clock on the
morning of Feb. 10, 1953, that
the five-year "transitional"
period for adapting the vari
ous national economies to the
integration scheme started.
At that hour, a coal train
drab and unexciting like any
other drew into Luxembourg
station. It came from the Ger
man Ruhr and was headed for
industrial Lorraine, in
France.
A brief informal check, a
blast on a whistle, and the
train continued on its way
across three countries.
For that train, and the
others which followed, there
were no frontiers, no customs
and no variation in prices in
side and outside its country
of origin. The common coal
market was opened, and iron
and steel followed shortly
thereafter.
Radical Act
The act of putting together
the heavy industry resources
of a six-nation community of
160 million Europeans as
populous as the U. S. was as
radical as anything Eurqpe
has known since the industrial
revolution changed the face of
the world.
Not only was it a mighty
economic step but it was a
move pregnant with possibili
ties for long-dreamed-of Eu
ropean political federation.
When France's then Foreign
Minister Robert Schuman first
presented his brain child
May 9, 1950, he said the pool
ing of French and German
heavy industry would make
another war between the two
countries "not only unthink
able, but impossible."

Sun Life of Canada Pays S34 Million in -Policyholder
Dividends; U. S. Sales Up
Company sells total $917' million new life insurance in '57; $7 billion life
insurance now in force; $155 million paid to policyholders in 1957. 1
Higher policyholder dividend
payments and a new sales record
for the Sun Life Assurance Com
pany of Canada are among the
highlights of the year announced
by George W. Bourke, President,
in his review of the Company's
business for 1957. During 1958,
Sun Life will pay out $34 million
in dividends to policyholders, an
increase of $2Vi million over the
amount paid out in 1 957. New
life insurance sold in 1 957,
amounted to $917 million, largest
amount ever sold by any Cana
dian company in one year and an
increase of $63 million over the
old record set just a year ago. A
substantial proportion of the new
business originated in the United
States, where Sun Life has 36
of its insurance in force. Included
in the new business total was
$243 million of group life insur
ance. Sun Life's insurance in force
now exceeds . $7,749,000,000,
more than twice the amount in
force ten years ago. Life insurr
ance and annuity business com
bined is now the equivalent of
$10,150,000,000 of life insur
ance. BENEFIT PAYMENTS
The Report also reveals that
$155 million in benefits was paid
out to policyholders and benefi
ciaries in 1 957. Of the otal $49
million was paid to beneficiaries
of deceased policyholders, repre
senting a substantial contribution
to family welfare. Living policy
holders and annuitants received
$106 million. Payments to policy
holders and beneficiaries since
the first Sun Life policey was is
sued in 1871 have now reached
$3,295,000,000.
Mr. Bourke referred to the cur
rent level of death rates in the
United States and Canada. Almost
60 of Sun Life death claims
incurred during 1 957 were due to
disorders of the heart and circu
latory systems. The proportion of
claims due to cancer 19 of
the total represented the second
major cause of death. There Is
an obvious need for extensive
medical research and the Sun Life
is continuing to make contributions
for this important study, he said.
"I believe that the better In
formed people become h to the
benefits of life insurance," Mr.
Bourke said, "the more insurance
they will buy and the more they
will insist on programs carefully
designed to cover their fundamen
tal insurance needs. These needs
are still so far from full satisfac
tion that we can look forward wrth
every confidence to the continued
growth and prosperity of our
business."

1957 Annual Report, including
the President's Review of the
year, is being sent to each policy
holder, or may be obtained from

Isabel R I can't feel the
same about Ted.
Ted F. Neither of us was
responsible.
Isabel R. I always knew
I can't hold liquor, so I know
I should never have drunk as
much as I did on New Year's
eve. Anyway, I did and now
I can't forgive myself.
I went to a party with a
young man who had asked
me to marry him. I was seri
ously considering marriage to
him. But when I was drunk,
I went too far with him and
now I don't know what to do.
It was an awful experience
and I hate myself and I don't
like him any more.
Ted still wants to marry me
and I suppose there is more
reason now than ever why I
should. But I just can't feel
the same toward him. After
all, he took advantage of me
in my drunken state. That
wasn't right. He was more in
command of himself than 'I
was.
Ted F. As Isabel points
out, there is more reason now
than ever why we should mar
ry. She is a really nice girl
and she won't be able to face
herself unless she does marry
me.
I did not mean to take ad
vantage of Isabel. After all,
I was drunk too. Neither ofrus
was really responsible.
The way I see it, this was
just an unfortunate accident
Isabel snouid not judge me
by that one incident. I am
seriously in love with her and
I'm sure I can make her hap
py.
There are two other men
who want to marry Isabel,
but I am sure she could never
be happy with either of them
after what has happened be
tween us. She is now just
fighting the inevitable.
The Council: An unfortu
nate accident? We doubt it
Drinking isn't accidental, nor
are most of the actions that
follow. More often drinking
is used, quite consciously, to
remove inhibitions and to ab
solve the drinker of. responsi
bility for doing exactly what
he has determined to do be
forehand. What possessed Isabel to
take this step with Ted? Prob
ably a combination of fear
and curiosity. Certainly there
was no love or desire for mar
riage involved. Naturally, the
results were "awful."
What possessed Ted to take
this step with a girl he wants
to marry and claims to love?
Possibly despair at not being
able to really win her affec
tions and possibly a desire to
trap her into a marriage des
pite her reluctance.
Is there now "more reason
than ever" why this couple
should marry? We can't give
a flat yes or no to that ques
tion. One thing is sure, how
ever Ted and Isabel should
not go to the altar in their
present frame of mind.
Isabel should recognize that
she can't place the blame for
what took place on Ted alone.
And Ted should recognize
that his own responsibility
was not trifling, either. -But
they need more than a com
mon sense of guilt as a basis
for their marriage. They need
to find some real unselfish
love for one another plus a
mature desire to create a
happy life together.
Isabel and Ted have a long
way to go in understanding.
They should consider some
talks with their clergyman.
