Try and Stop Me
By BENNETT CERF
TIE EXECUTIVE of an exclusive and expensive specialty
nop explained the other day how he persuades ladies to
buy his creations without even raising an eyebrow at the
price tags.
" begin," he says, "by
showing them a dress
that is narked at five
thousand dollars, and
then, while they still are
shuddering, move gradu
ally down the price scale
through the three and
two - thousand - dollar
models. By the time I
reach something for eight
or nine. hundred dollars,
it sounds so ludicrously
cheap that the relieved
ladies sometimes snap up
two or three dresses at a
time."
"I never iave met yonr "wife," this executive added.
You're darn right," I assured him, "and if I possibly can
prevent it, you never will."
Early result of the "payola expose: two fouT gangsters wrote a.
ew rock n roll son?, then called up every disk jockey in. town to
threaten, "Either you play our aong tomorrow or we'll send you

'New' Hiroshima Not Same
As Before Bomb Dropped
Hiroshima, Japan - (UPD -
There is a feeling of empti
ness about the new Hiroshima
that has been built on the
ashes of what was once the
most thriving city of western
Honshu, Japan's biggest is
land.
Until the atom bomb level
led it on Aug. 6, 1945, Hiro
shima was a teeming metro
polis of narrow, crooked
streets, of congested low-
storied wooden structures, of
people literally rubbing el
bows as they trudged their
way on the sidewalks and un
paved roads.
The Hiroshima of today is
too modern for the oldtimers
its not Hiroshima any more,
not with its well - planned
streets more than 100 feet
wide and its ferro-concrete
buildings. There is not a
crooked, winding street in the

DEPTH MEASURES
Echo sounders are used

whole city. The result is that
it seems almost empty.
The citizens of Hiroshima
rebuilt the city from scratch
with a fervent feeling that
there would be "no more
Hiroshimas."
Peace Ii Motive
Peace has ever been the
motive and inspiration of
Hiroshima in its task of re
construction. Only one grim
reminder of its tragedy has
been left untouched. The
ruins of the Industrial Ex
hibition Building are being
preserved to mark the very
spot over which the A-bomb
is known to have exploded.
Several acres of the city's
choicest land has been de
voted to a park, dedicated to
peace, near the A-bomb blast
site. A 100-meter-wide boule
vard with trees and flowers in
the center runs in front of
the park.
"The atomic bomb wiped
out the bulk of the whole city
and her population," Mayor
Shinzo Hamai said. "When
we started rebuilding, we saw
to it that the new planning
would have roads, parks and
all other city facilities so
built as to fully conform to
the requirements on a mo
dern city. - '
"The planning was put into
effect and now we have a re
born city whose central part
is entirely new and modern.
showing hardly any traces of
the castle town which it was
in the old days." .
City Hall Gutted
The City Hall was gutted
by the A-bomb but its outer
structure remained. The in
ner sections have been rebuilt
and the municipal administra
tion functions there.
But the scars still remain
and the city eventually will
build a new City Hall. The
municipal assemblymen look
with envious eyes on the new
five-story Hiroshima prefec
tural government building,
which is certainly one of the
finest of its kind in all Japan.
The Chugoku Newspapers
Company building in down
town Hiroshima city with-
stood the A-bomb although its
interior was completely de
stroyed. The owners have re
constructed the old eight-
story building into a 15-story
structure.
Both Mainichi and Asahi,
Japan's two biggest news
papers, have built fine new
buildings in busy Hatchobori
business and amusement cen
ter, .where incidentally, there
are more than 300 bars and
cabarets.
New Apartments
Scores of government-built
apartment houses provide liv
ing quarters for a large per
centage of the city's popula
tion of more than 400,000.
Hiroshima has not overlook
ed the tourist industry. It has
built a new Hiroshima castle
along medieval architectural
lines to replace the famous
castle that was destroyed by
the A-bomb.
And Hiroshima has one of
the finest baseball stadiums
in the country. Equipped with
the latest facilities and ac
commodating 30,000, it was
built on a corner of the form
er Japanese Imperial Army
parade grounds near the heart
of the city.
New Parks Built
Meanwhile, 30 children's
parks have been built
throughout Hiroshima, which
also boasts 48 kindergartens,
43 grammar schools, 29 "mid
dle" schools, 23 high schools
and seven colleges and uni
versities. Reconstruction is far from
complete, however. A drain
age canal for flood protection
is still being built; so are two
wharves large enough to
berth 10.000-ton ships.
It will be a while before
the job of building a com
pletely new Hiroshima is fin
ished. But the old city will
not be forgotten; nor will the
to I tragedy that made a new one
necessary. .

Old TV Shows Are Big Hits in Japan
By VERNON SCOTT
L'PI Hollywood Correspondent
Hollywood -(UPD-Ever won
der what happens to old TV
shows?
They go to Japan.
Just as they did with base
ball, the Japanese have gone
wacky over American tele
vision series. Some 36 Holly
wood teleseries now are
beaming in the Land of the
Rising Sun with horse operas
in the lead.
During World War II Japa
nese troops charged American
lines howling, "to hell with
Babe Ruth." In the event of
another war they might pos
sibly yell "to hell with Jim
Arness."
"G u n s m o k e," in which ,
Arness stars as Marshall Matt
Dillon, is among the top rat
ed shows in the island empire.
According to Bernard
Kamis, vice president of the
National Audience Board, Ja
panese televiewers show al
most the same tastes in video
fare as American audience.
Many Shows Dubbed
"About half of the shows
from this country are dubbed
into J a p a n e s e," he said.
"They are highly proficient in
synchronizing the lip move
ments of American actors
with their language.
"The other 50 per cent of
the shows are presented in
English. And these programs

are almost as popular as the
dubbed shows. English is be
ing taught in the schools now,
and many older Japanese
have learned our language."
In addition to running our
filmed shows, Japanese pro
ducers have taken to copy
ing detective, situation come
dy, drama and even western
series with Japanese actors
in the starring roles.
Most popular returns in Ja
pan today, says Kamins, are
"Lassie," "Rin Tin Tin,"
"Leave it to Beaver,'" "Super
man," and 'The Lone Ran
ger" in the children's divi
sion. To Investigate Reaction
"I Love Lucy" and "Father
Knows Best," two of the truly
big TV hits, are in the select
circle in Japan.
Along with "Gunsmoke,"
the Japanese have gone wild
over such other adventure
dramas as "Bat Masterson,"
"Lawman," "William Tell,"
"Colt .45" and "Cannonball."
Also highly esteemed are
"Perry Mason," "The Donna
Reed Show," "The Gale
Storm Show," "The Million
aire," "How to Marry a Mil
lionaire." "The most amazing part of
it all," Kamins said, "is that
