Try and Stop Me
-By BENNETT CERF-
A N INCREDIBLE NUMBER of legends have sprung up con
A cerning the alluring Mata Hari, who was executed as a
spy by the French in World War One. One story has it that she
wore a beautiful coat on the
morning she was shot As Jfaia,
the command to fire rang TJari
out, Mata Hari supposedly ld,iJ-
threw open the coat de
fiantly, revealing that there
was nothing else but Mata
beneath it.
According to the official
record, however, Mata Hari
died wearing a neat, con
servative suit that had been
especially tailored for the
occasion, and said not one
word from the time she was
led from the prison until
she fell.
The most expensive extra in Hollywood history popped up at the
MGM studio recently. Her name is Gwendolyn and she cost the com
pany $1,200 for a single day's work. Gwendolyn is a goat She ate
an entire reel of the previous day's rushes.
You're really getting old, cackles Matt Weinstock, if you can re

In the Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS
. From Washington:
Soviet First Deputy Pre
mier Kozlov heads for Cali
fornia . . . He and his party
will stop at Sacramento on
the next leg of a flying swii.g
around the nation. He is ex
pected to continue his cam
paign to sell "peaceful co
existence" on Russian terms.
lyHAT are, his tactics?
They're weird. For ex
ample: Out of one side of his
mouth, he promises NO WAR,
NO WAR. He speaks mildly
and reassuringly of peaceful
coexistence.
Then, out of the other side
of his mouth, he trumpets:
"FORCE WILL BE MET
WITH FORCE if the situation
in Berlin erupts into .hostili
ties." "
IITHAT'S he up to?
" Take' down your Shakes
peare from your five - foot
shelf. Turn to Midsummer
Night's Dream, Act I, Scene
2, in which a play is being
cooked up for the Duke of
Athens and his duchess and
the actors are discussing the
parts they will take.
There's a lion in the play.
Bottom wants to play the
part of the lion. He says: "I
will roar, that I will do any
any man's heart good to hear
me; I will roar, that I will
make the duke say, 'Let him
roar again, let him roar
again'."
Quince (who is doing the
casting) . is afraid Bottom
might roar too realistically.
He says: "An you should do
it too terribly, that would
fright . the ladies, that they
would shriek, and that were
enough to hang us all." To
which Bottom replies:
"I grant you, friends, if
that you should fright the
ladies out of their wits, they
would have no more discre
tion but to hang us, but I will
aggravate my voice so that
I will roar you as gently as
any suckling dove; I will rdar
as 'twere any nightingale."
.
THAT TELLS the tale. Koz
lov is playing the part of
Bottom.
But
When he roars as gently as
any suckling dove, how much
reliance, can we put in it?
The answer in short and
simple: NONE!
In the case of communist
Russia, every agreement she
has made has been broken at
the first moment when it has
suited her purposes to repu
diate her solemn agreements.
That's the long and the short
of it. . '
yHAT shall WE do about
On this Fourth of July
week end, I think it is fitting
that we should go back for
an answer to our Declaration
of Independence, which opens
with these words:
"When, in the course of
human . events, it becomes
necessary for one people to
dissolve the political bands
which have connected them
with another, and to assume
among the powers of the
earth the separate and equal
station to which the Laws of
Nature and Nature's Gift en
title them, a decent respect
for the opinions of mankind
requires that they should de
clare the causes which impel
them to the separation."
Our Declaration - one of
the great documents of all
mankind - closes with these
ringing words:
"And for the support of this
Declaration, with a firm re
liance on the protection of
Divine Providence, we mu
tually pledge to each other
our Lives, our Fortunes and
our Sacred Honor." .
THAT'S what we did once
before - and it served us
well.
Let's make it plain that if
we have to we'll do it again.
That's about all that will
stop Russia.

Dahlberg's summer advice
ranges from warnings against
poison ivy, shallow swimming
holes and careless driving to
a request for continued church
contributions even while
away on vacation.
Know Depth of Waitr
Here are his . command
ments: I. "Thou shalt not dive off
a strange dock without know
ing how deep is the water at
th end of it, lest thou break
thy neck against a stone."
II. "Thou shalt not broil
thyself all afternoon in thy
new bathing suit, lest thy
shoulders . become raw the
next morning and thy coat be
a burden upon them. Neither
shalt thou lay thyself down in
a bed of poison ivy."

Barrel Believed
To Be Radioactive
Held in Isolation
Coos Bay-(UPD-A white met
al barrel thought to contain
radioactive waste matter that
washed up on the beach at
Port Orford Saturday remain
ed in isolation at the Coos
Head Naval facility here to
day. Lieutenant Commander F.
L. Laws, commanding officer
of the facility, said the drum,
marked in red: "Danger, Ra
dioactive Waste, AEC," was
being kept under wraps as a
precautionary measure until
it was learned where it came
from, and exactly what was
inside.
Examination Planned
Indications were that in
spectors from the Atomic
Energy Commission's Han-
ford, Wash., plant would come
here to examine the barrel
The AEC in Washington, D.C.,
said private firms sometimes
are licensed to dispose of ra
dioactive waste but in those
instances barrel's, like the
AEC's, are supposed to be en
cased in concrete so they will
be carried several hundred
fathoms down.
After the barrel was sight
ed on the beach at Port Or
ford, the area was placed off
limits and an armed guard set
up. A team of Navy investi
gators from Seattle checked
and said there was no radio
activity evident on the outside
of the barrel or on the beach.
It was taken here.
Fourth of July celebrations
were delayed here until dusk.
