Young TV Actress Active
tn Church, Community
Hollywood (IF! Life can be
very, very busy for a 14-year-old
actress who has appeared
in ebout 250 TV shows and
nine movies, organizes neigh
twrhood kids in to a theatrical
roupe, teaches Sunday school
in her home and is now en
gaged in a fund-raising cam
paign for a hospital.
Petite Beverly Washburn,
born and raised in Hollywood,
feels very urgently about her
projects. The theatrical troupe
was done for fun but soon will
make a semi-professional ap
pearance
The Sunday school project
came about when she recalled
that during her "tender years"
she had trouble understanding
the adult language of sermons.
The fund-raising campaign fol
lowed a visit she made to chil
dren's hospital in Los Ange
les.

'"We put on some acts
singing, dancing and one com
edy skit," said the light-haired,
blue-eyed teenager. "We gave
performances for our parents
and friends and others. Some
of the parents were amazed
to find out how well their
kids could sing and dance. We
copied the skit from Jack
Benny. He came to see one of
our shows at a park in Holly
wood.
"I got started on Sunday
school because I used to teach
in one. The minister held the
school in his own home, and
it was torn down for an apart
ment, so now some of the kids
come to my home. I never
really understood church
when I was small, and now I
do it so little kids can under
stand it. We take up a collec
tion and give it to a church."
The fund-raising campaign
is still-in the planning stage
Beverly says it's for Children's
hospital and Orthopedic hos
pital in Los Angeles. Hospital
personnel are aware of her
intentions.
"I went in there to visit
children with one of my teach
ers," she said. "Golly, some of
those pootiids. I began think
ing about it. That's why we're
going to take our troupe to
children's hospital May 24 and
try to entertain the kids and
maybe raise a little money
They really need a new wing
at each hospital."
Beverly said the campaign
will dig up money through
such performances, occasional
TV appeals and possibly a
door-to-door drive. She said
her parents approve of her
rojects which she always dis
cusses with them first.
She first appeared in a
movie when she was six, "The
Killer That Stalked New
York." Her current film is
"summer love," and her latest
TV role is the Shirley Temple
Storybook (NBC-TV) May 8
in which she plays the daugh
ter of Rip Van Winkle.
Beverly said her parents
won't let her go out on dates
alone until she is 15 or 16. "I
guess maybe they're strict
about some tihngs," she said,
"but after I think about it for
a "while, i realize they're
right."
The somewhat shy actress
has her favorites. They in
clude Rock Hudson and Mar
lon Brando.
"I tried to paper my walls
with pictures of Marlon Bran
do, but my mother thought it
I wasn't a very good idea," she
said. "I guess she was right.
She's also like a lot of other
teenagers, too, in her affec
tion for a certain youth now
in the Army.
"Elvis?" she asked. "Oh,
he's wonderful."
TANKS CRUSH SOLDIER

Air Force O.Ks
Camp Adair Base :
Washington (IP) The Air
Force has recommended es
tablishment of a 10 million
dollar Bomarc base at Camp
Adair, near. Corvallis, accor
ding to Rep. Walter Norblad
(R-Ore.).
The recommendation was
made to the House Armed
Services committee, of which
Norblad is a member.
The Oregon Republican said
that if the project received
congressi onal approval it
would meal some 400 to 500
men stationed at Camp Adair
and an overall payroll of per
haps two million dollars.
The facility would be in
addition to a SAGE project al
ready under way at Camp
Adair.
Wail Sfreef Seeks Answer
To Complicated Economy
By ELMER C. WALZER
United Press Financial Editor
New York (IP) Wall Street
is trying its utmost too find a
simple answer to a very com
plicated economy and stock
market and hasn't had much
luck in its search. 1
One of the more conserva
tive experts says the street
apparently has forgotten that
if there were a simple answer,
everyone would be a million
aire. This much can be stated
without qualifications: Every
one in the financial district
isn't 'a millionaire.
Our expert of today who
remains anonymous has been
reading many market letters
because he says he likes to
know what his competitor?
are thinking.
In the process of this study
of brokerage opinion, he con
cludes that most of Wall
Street has missed the boat.
Slide Rules Don't Count
"They've tried to take two
and two and get four,',' he
says. "They've tried to make
the obvious tell a story in a
complex business where slide
rules don't count."
S. B. Lurie, analyst for Jo
sephthal & Co., does some
thinking along this very line
with trie remark there are no
univacs in the street to give
out glib answers to complex
problems.
Harry Truman Stresses To Lawyers
Value of Fifth Amendment To Freedom
Jefferson City, Mo.' (IP)
Former President Harry S.
Truman says the Fifth Am
endment is "one of the best
in the whole business" that
has been added to the U. S.
Constitution.
Truman, addressing Satur
day 81 attorneys admitted to
the Missouri Bar, departed
from his prepared text to say:
"I'll bet half of the people in
the United States don't know
what the Fifth Amendment
is." Then he read it from the
Constitution and told his au
dience it was "a tremendous
amendment."
Tax Cut Proposals Said
Popular With Politicians
New York dP Beating
the drums for a tax cut has
become one of the most popu
lar instruments in the anti-recession
marching band.
Spokesmen for government,
labor and business called for
tax cuts of all kinds this week
to get the economic symphony
back in tune.
Labor leaders renewed
their plea for lower taxes,
which they say will give con
sumers more money to spend.
Defense Bill
Said Too Broad
Washington (IP) House
military investigators said
Saturday, President Eisenhow
er will get only half a loaf,
at best, in his bid for congres
sional approval of his con
troversial defense reorganiza
tion plan.
Members of the House Arm
ed Services committee, con
vinced the President's bill was
worded too broadly, said they
would write their own legisla
tion in more precise language.
Chairman Carl . Vinson (D-
Ga.) said he expected the 37-
man committee would send a
bill to the House floor for
action before the end of the
month.
OFFICER RETIRES BELT
Oxford, Miss. (IPi Dr. H.
B. Howerton, a veteran of
World War I, has discarded
the Army belt he wore for 40
years. Howerton, a reserve of
ficer, was issued the belt in
1918. He retired it after being
issued a new one from the
University of Mississippi
ROTC unit.
A number of congressmen also
expressed the view that lower
taxes on personal and corpo
rate incomes would buoy the
economy.
The highly-regarded com
mittee for economic develop
ment, a private reasearch or
ganization of businessmen and
economists, urged Congress
this week to map plans for
a temporary 20 per cent in
come tax cut if there 'are no
"clear signs" of improvement
in business this month.
T. O. Yntema, vice presi
dent of Ford Motor Co., said
a temporary halt in withhold
ing income taxes from pay
checks would help end the re
cession "quickly and decisive
ly." Dr. Sidney E. Rolfe, econo
mist for Cit financial corp.,
said repeal of excise taxes on
automobiles would be one of
the cheapest and most effec
tive anti-recession measures.
Train-Aufo Crash
Leaves Five Dead
Springfield, Ohio (IP) A
New York Central Railroad
train struck a station wagon
late Sunday, dragging it 1,200
feet and killing five passen
gers. The train engineer, Ekmer
E. Hast of. Columbus, Ohio,
said he saw the station wagon
approaching the country road
crossing but he thought it
would stop.
The dead were identified as
Charles W. Dempsey, 38,
Springfield, his wife, Dora,
35, and three of their four
children, Donald, 9, Ray, 7,
and Linda, 5.

DURING
The former President said
Americans who are willing to
scrap the ideals of the Con
stitution are as dangerous as
the threats of Communism.
"Whether they know it or
not, those people who believe
in special privileges are en
closing the Constitution in a
mummy as dead as some old
Pharaoh of Egypt."
The Constitution, Declara
tion of Independence, and
Bill of Rights, he said, "es
tablish a system under which
man can be free and set up
a framework to protect and
expand this freedom, but
they can live only as long as
they are enshrined in our
hearts and minds."
Truman said the threat of
totalitarianism and commun
ism still menace freedom but
said invasion and conquest by
Communist ideals of right and
wrong would be just as bad.
He added that some Ameri
cans who hate Communism
"are unwilling to acknow
ledge the ideals of the Con
stitution as the supreme law
of the land. They are the peo
ple who believe it is too dan
gerous to proclaim liberty
throughout all the land," he
said. "They want to change
the preamble to read, 'Some
of us Some of the people of
the United States,' instead of
'We, the People. "
Lurie says the market
never accommodates every
one, and "there is no rule
which says the market must
decline because slide rule
comparisons suggest that it's
vulnerable.
"All of which points up
the thought that it may take
take complete universal dis
couragement or an actual
need for cash to topple over
the apple cart.
"Apropos the foregoing,
people have money and mid
dle class America is more re
laxed than Wall Street."
Reluctant Bills
Also he finds evidence
growing that the next overall,
market phase may be cli
maxed by a mass conversion
of the reluctant bulls,- and a
plainful withdrawal of the
neophyte shorts. He believes
that the upside opportunities
should swell this month.
But the investor won't have
it easy. He'll have to be re
lentlessly selective and real
ize that it's pointless to debate
the timing of the next bull
market or worry about Oc
tober in May.
Lurie insists it's better to
be right about the wrong
stocks than wrong about the
right stocks.
The recession, Lurie finds,
has certain similarities to its
predecessors as well as many
marked differences.
He finds the nation mood
more sanguine than that dis
played in either Washington
or professional Wall Street.
"America," he said, "seems
to accept the business read
justment as something inevit
able, something that can be
kept in bounds, something
temporary rather than perma
nent. "This unique experience of
belt tightening without panic
probably stems from two con
siderations: There is little fear of an
other 1929-32 and properly so,
for the social, economic, fi
nancial and political back
ground is so different, and (2)
more immediately, the down
ward trend has flattened out
and there are constructive
straws in the wind which sug
gest that the recession will
not snowball at this time."

Mrs. D. G She should take
her children to court.
Kate M. I wouldn't want
to disgrace them.
Mrs. D. G. I am very
much concerned about a
friend of mine, who is just
about the finest woman who
ever lived. Kate was widowed
after 12 years of marriage,
and was left with nothing but
her wits and strength to bring
up her five children.
This she was able to do, giv
ing her children a fine home
and background. They are all
married now and have fam
ilies of their own, and you
would think they'd show their
gratitude to such a mother.
Well, I don't see any sign
of it. Their mother is an in
valid and lives with her
daughter. The other children
are supposed to contribute to
her support and they neglect
to do so. The daughter is an-
i gry about this and takes it
l out on her mother, making her
feel unwanted. I feel that Kate
ought to bring her case to
court to make her children
pay up.
Kate M. I could never do
such a thing as bring my own
children to court. They are
good, decent children, but
they all have lots of financial
problems. I certainly wouldn't
want to take the bread out of
their children's mouths.
I wish I could be independ
ent! and live by myself, but
being an invalid makes it im
possible. My bills for doctors
and medicines really mount
up, and I worry all the time
about how to pay them. It is
wrong that the burden should
fall on my daughter when she
is stuck with having me, but
the other children just "for
get" about their monthly con
tributions. My friend is very nice to
me, but she calls my children
selfish and ungrateful. That
isn't at all true and they don't
deserve to be disgraced by
being brought to court. What
I can't understand is how
they don't get the hints I
drop.
The Council We agree
these "children" should be
brought to a sense of their
responsibilities, and we can
understand Mrs. D. G.'s
righteous anger, but we feel
the harsh, legal means should
be used only as a last resort.
More is involved here than
money. Kate is rightfully try
ing to preserve as much as
possible of the warm, emotion
al ties with her children.
In this case, it would be
wise for the family physician
or clergyman to discuss this
matter with the children. It
should be someone the chil
dren know and respect. Kate
will probably find it hard to
unburden, this problem to
either of these men, for she
does not want to expose her
children to anyone's criticism.
She should, however, take her
courage in her hands, realiz
ing she may be doing a serv
ice to the children by sparing
them the pangs of guilt in fu
ture years.
If it is discovered the five
children are really unable to
pool enough money together
to care for their mother, it
may be necessary for Kate to
get some community aid. She
should not let this possibility
frighten her because she evi
dently needs and deserves it.

"Mr. Hoover's charges
