Japanese
Girls Are
Dyeing Hair
By CHARLES R. SMITH
United Press International
' : Tokyo - (UPD - Thousands of
"Japanese girls are dyeing to
. look westernized.
They're changing the color
of their hair from black to
various shades of red and
sometimes, of all things,
blonde.
The men generally don't
approve of the new trend in
beauty, but like it or not, the
lighter tones seem to stay
and increase. One of Japan's
leading beauticians predicts
that soon the black -haired
Japanese girl will be as diffi
cult to find as a red-haired
one would have been a few
years ago. ,
"In another decade." said
hed-haired Miss Maya Katao-
ka, "all the Japanese women
will have red, brown or
blonde hair, and the black
will almost disappear."
- Why?
Western Look
Well, explained Miss Kata
oka, it's all part of the Japa
nese woman's effort to look
more like her western sister.
It goes hand in hand with
wearing falsies and plastic
surgery to raise the nose and
round the eyes Miss Kataoka
and other beauty "experts"
agreed.
"I'm one hundred per cent
for the trend," said Miss Ka
ttaoka, "and almost everyone
. else is, too.
"Only the men oppose it."
"Women should wear what
ever color of hair they wish,"
she explained. "This is one of
the freedoms the Japanese
women should have."
If the men want someone
to blame for the red heads
popping up all over Japan,
they can take it out on the
movie actresses and models.
The movie actresses and
models began changing color
because lighter shades gave
them a "softer" effect before
the cameras.
- Officials at one of Japan's
leading movie studios said
"practically all of the movie
actresses now bleach and tint
their hair."
A spokesman for the Tokyo
Model club said all of its 300
registered models sport red-
tinted hair-dos
Once the stars and models

tie bud blossoms into delicate
flowers, the association ex
plained. But a globe artichoke is
"perhaps the most spectacu
lar edible flower bud," the
association added. For eating,
it is picked green. Left un
harvested, the inedible heart
of the plant - the choke -emerges
from the cup of
leaves and unfurls into a deep
blue to metallic purple-tinged
flower.
The Jerusalem artichoke,
more rarely seen, is neither
an artichoke nor from the
Holy Land, the association
added. It's a tuberous root of
the sunflower plant with an
artichoke flavor.
Broccoli is also an unripe
flower, an old-timer in Europe
but relatively new to most
of America. Thomas Jefferson
is said to have brought it back
from France for his garden
at Monticello, but its popu
larity here was limited pretty
much to the Boston and New
York areas until the 1920s.
Left to see, broccoli plants
produce pretty yellow blos
soms.
Edible Botes
One of the world's most
decorative and fragrant flow
ers - the rose - also makes
good eating at two stages of
development. Both petals and
hips (tiny berries remaining
after the blossoms wilt) have
been used in European and
Middle Eastern cookery for
centuries.
Rose petal jam and rose hip
soup are two of the most pop
ular dishes. In Rose Recipes
(Red Rose Publications, Wood
stock, Vermont), Jean Gordon
reported that a dinner host
to Nero entertained the Ro-
m.an emperor with rose pud-
ding and rose wine, filled his
fountains with rose water and
placed garlands of roses on
the guests' heads and wreaths
of roses around their necks,

Child Needs
Guidance
From Cradle
By GAY PAULEY
UPI Women's Editor
New York-A one woman
crime buster puts the blame
for juvenile delinquency right
at the nearthslne.
"No child is born bud,
said Mrs. Frank Flynn. "But
he needs guidance from the
cradle on. It often is too late
if the child is in his teens
before parents and teachers
discover he is a problem.
"A parent should recognize
that an act of aggression in
a tot is not something cute,
It is warning sign. And kin
dergarten is the place for the
school to look for the first
signs of delinquency."
Rose Flynn, 50, a consult
ing psychologist, for 25 years
has worked through the class
room, the welfare agencies
and individual counseling to
prevent children from turn
ing to crime.
She said that only recently
she asked, by questtonaire,
group of 100 children in fifth
and sixth grades what they
considered the causes of JL,
The 100 were "referrals" -
problem children referred to
her by parents, teachers and
doctors.
The majority answers: "Our
parents don't care . . . We
get no love and attention .
They want us out of the house
. . . we get lonesome.
Many protested, she added
that "our parents send us to
camp each summer; we d
rather be right at home with
them."
"I think." said Mrs. Flynn,
"that if the family pattern
is one of affection and caring,
there is far less chance of a
child growing up to trouble.
But the school and the church
also have a lot of helping to
do."
All of us want respect,
want notice, want to be want
ed," she said. "The child not
getting that recognition often
seeks a substitute . . . falls in
with a neighborhood gang
which he feels gives him
status."
Mrs. Flynn, who lives in
Brooklyn, became interested
in crime prevention while
teaching in public school.
I saw that the three Rs
were just the start of a teach
er s job," she said. She began
giving problem children spe
cial attention, inviting them
to unfold their troubles to her
because she was interested in
their welfare..
"I found that almost all
came from dissembled
homes," she said.
Mrs. Flynn estimates that
she has given individual coun
seling to 1,000 young people.
Sociologist Says
Cities Are Unfit
For Human Living
By LeROY POPE
United Press International
New York-uTPD - The city
slum with its dirty vacant lots
probably was a better place
to raise children than mod
ern suburbs and institutional
playgrounds, a New York uni
versity sociologist claims.
Attacking the most sacred
beliefs of city planners and
modern architects and sociol
ogists, Professor Ernest van
den Hagg wrote in a recent
issue of American Scholar
that our cities are becoming
unfit for human living be
cause of these ideas.
He said this is creating a
dangerous crisis for North
America because the whole
world is rapidly becoming ur
banized. Modern architects and city
planners deliberately destroy
the traditions, a soul, the color
and vitality of the cities, Pro
fessor van den Hagg, said, be
cause of a mistaken belief in
the importance of functional
ism. "To raise slums and rebuild
in such a way as to house
fewer people is pointless," he
said, "the slum is displaced
but not eliminated . . . there
is more life, and perhaps more
communal feeling, in a slum
than in many a suburb ... I
am not even convinced that
an empty lot Is not a better
place for children to play
than an institutional play
ground. It surely fosters in
dependence, imagination and
spontaneity far more than
most playgrounds."
Professor van den Hagg
said slums don't breed crime
any more than hospitals breed
death and to Imagine you can
reduce crime by slum clear
ance is as silly as to believe
you could end sickness by
closing the hospitals.
The new city housing de
velopments that replace slums
only Increase loneliness, mon
otony and diminish the color,
variety and vitality of city
life, he wrote.

Former County Public Health Nurse Tells of
Jugoslavian
Kdltor's notft Mill Mary Kllcll
Hell, former public health nurse
for Jackson county. Is currently
touring Kurope. Among (he places
she Is visions are refugee camps.
In a rereiu letter Miss Hell writes
about the roruiees in Herman?
By MARY ELLEN BELL
Utrecht, Holland - This is
a cold, raw, wet day which
is good for resting feet and
writing letters.
It was in Germany that
learned about politics and
problems from Jugoslavia po-
litical refugees. I lieved with
these refugees in one of tiie
German cities to which many
Yugoslavs flee, simply by
walking away from their
homeland. These people arc
walking into Austria and
Germany daily, creating great
problems for Germany and
serious ones for themselves.
World Refugee Year
This happens to be World
Refugee Year and I hear
much about it all over Eu
rope. I hope something is be
ing done at home. too. This is
another reason I want to
write this letter on my expe
rience with people who are
refugees because of CommU'
nism.
When promising, intelli
gent, thinking and liberty-
loving young people (and
older ones) decide to leave
the known for the unknown,
to leave the tried for the un
tried, to leave a degree of dic
tated security for possibly no
security, but a real chance
for freedom, to leave home,
family, country and the close
physical contact with them
forever, then surely this could
be called "the hour of great
decision."
In my opinion there are two
groups of refugees. 1 11 be
dealing with only one group
for I did not have the heart
to go among the others. There
is the group of refugees who
were displaced because o
conditions in Russia after the
revolution; along with these
were the refugees who were
displaced due to the Hitler-
Nazi philosophy and aggres
sion.
Demoralised
There are a great number in
this group. They are the de
moralized ones, now anemic
and weak as to initiative, the
efforts of taking on a new
life seems an effort beyond
their ability and strength,
to make a great final effort.
They are pretty hopeless and
certainly helpless. Many of
them live or have lived in the
cheap poorly built barracks
thrown up hurriedly for mili
tary barracks by Hitler. These
barracks simply have to go
yet I was told by a senior
officer of refugee work that
many of these people, when
advised they can go into new,
better living quarters, (now
being gradually built to re
place the rattling barracks)
that they do not want to leave
their horrible living quarters,
for these are the only homes
they have known for many
years. They are thoroughly
demoralized by what they
have been through.
Many of these people are
simply lost to a better life.
They will always have to be
cared for. They are the social
indigent ones as it were.
World society in all its trou
bled mess of war, aggression
and nationalism, and hatred
have made them what they
are. Now, poor souls, they
must forever feed on the
crumbs of that society, whol
ly dependent and quite hope
less. Walking Out
Then, there is the other
group of those coming out
now - daily walking out from
a Communist World into the
Free World - and with noth
ing but the desire for free
dom, a chance for a better
life.
When they come out they
have to go to a refugee camp
where they declare them
selves "political refugees."
They have to remain there for
months, usually 7 to 14, or un
til they can obtain an "inter
national passport" proclaim
ing them to be without a
country.
It is really a shattering ex
perience to live with people
who have no country, no pros
pect of having one without
ceaseless striving and endless
patience and almost hopeless
waiting and constant effort.
A country must open up for
entrance and in most of these,
once they get In, the refugees
must live 10 years before cit
izenship can be started. Even
the children born to these
couples In Germany or Aus
tria do not take on citizen
ship of those countries, but
again are classed In the class
of homeless ones, under the
international passport class
of the parents.
Good Citizens
But what are these refu
gees like? Will they make
good citizens?. Yes - most of
them will, I think, but they
are people, human beings
With the good and bad, the
strong and the weak as is In
Political Refugees in Germany
all of us. But all I met would
be assets to a country.
For instance, there Is Ther
esa, who "came out" at 21
She was suffocated by "the
pressures" of Communism
She had heard of a camp near
Hamburg. After the usual
declaration as a "political ref
ugee" she requested papers as
an emigre, these papers took
4 to 6 extra weeks,
She borrowed $200 from
a refugee agency and finally
landed in Chicago at 20 de
grees below zero, with 45
cents in her pocket and three
words of English. She again
borrowed $100 from some of
her own nationals and found
a tiny room and finally a job
in a shoe factory. In a month's
time she discovered she could
train as a laboratory techni
cian at Northwestern Univer
sity from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m., but
at almost no wages. To sup
plement this money she
scrubbed floors from 5 p.m
to midnight. Later on she had
an opportunity to be a wait
ress. She decided on Stauf-
fer's as the best for tips since
she could also have training
there and thus be prepared to
do waitress work in the very
best places. There in the
evenings and night she earn
ed $20 daily in tips and wages.
Wants to be Dentist
She always wanted to be a
dentist, so after paying off
the $300 she began to save
every penny. Dentistry and its
cost in U.S.A. were impos
sible so she returned to Ger
many to study dentistry,
But what country docs she
love? Where are her friends?
Where does she want to spend
her life? In the U.S.A. She
has no friends in Germany.
Germany is so full of refu
gees that they are not very
welcome. Theresa is young,
yearns for companship and
the friendliness of the Amer
icans. Her struggle now is to
make herself stay in Germany
for dental studies against re
turning to the U.S.A. where
she can be a waitress or a lab
oratory technician.
Theresa's Background
Her background? Her fath
er s farm had been in the
family for hundrers of years
irom eldest son to eldest son.
It was taken by the Com
munists. Her family, to live
and work, "have to belong
to tne party." She would not
and walked out.
One says in America we
nave no ideas of the pres
sures of the Communist party
on the individual. They are
pressured and forced into end
less meetings. If you are a
student you are first forced
to be a Communist; your
study or ability or profession
doesn't count and is only sec
ondary. There is no work, but
for the state, and no future.
No freedom, no thinking, no
contact with the outside
world. So many of these
young people are willing to
risk all for even the chance
of freedom.
Then there is Boban. whose
father, through his own abil
ity and initiative, built up a
factory for manufacturing
tools then other factories.
These provided much work
for many men. But he was "a
capitalist." So the sudden
knock on the door, the de
mands of surly voices. The
parents and two children went
to the door-the father was
roughly taken away, killed;
the body was not even re
turned, nor any knowledge of
its disposal.
Property Taken
When he was taken away,
the door was locked. The fam
ily mother and little boy and
girl not allowed to re-enter
the house for a single posses
sion. The home, all property,
the factories were appropri
ated by the state. The mother
and children put to work at
breaking rocks.
Later as a young man, Bo
ban yearned to be a dentist.
He tried to sit in classes, but
refusing to Join "the party"
Which killed his father, he
had no chance and was look
ed on as an enemy. He "walk
ed out" with his fiancee. That
young man is in his last
months of dentistry and Is the
joy of the World Council of
Churches and his university
professors.
And Lepa, his wife? Her
brother was an anti-Communist,
so with 15,000 other men
was shot without trial because
his beliefs and thoughts were
not Communistic. Because of
this "crime," the family prop
erty and possessions wore
all confiscated. Even the rose
garden at the home was de
stroyed in hatred.
Her mother loved roses and
had a garden of 150 roses.
These were either uprooted
or broken off In full bloom,
Low Wages
The oldest son In this fam
ily, a brillinn man and do
ing an important Job, cannot
and will not Join the party
so his wages are $30 a month.
He can't get out as yet per
haps someday.
Then there whs tho uni
versity professor. Ho had been
nn outstanding professor in
his Communist country. He
learned that his uiiiiie was on
the list for liquidation. This
was in the beginning of Com
munism. He simply fled and
finally got to Switzerland.
This meant leaving wife
and child, a no mean decision
to make. His wife and daugh
ter had a tragic and terrible
time for they could get no
help from the state, of course,
and lived as best they could.
I met all of this family.
They are cultured, charming,
wonderful people. The father
is now a professor In a lend
ing European university. But
think of the forced separation
of this family.
The daughter, now a high
school senior and with plans
for study of medicine, said
no one would ever know the
difficulties of separation, or
even of re-union. She could
Just remember her father
Then when 17 years old to be
reunited and to live intimate
ly in family life, after almost
13 years, with a total strang
er had been very dlflcult for
her.
Hungarian Nationalism
I could go on and on and
write of others of the Hun
garians whose nationalism
and love of country is so
strong and deep as to be al
most a sickness. The Hun
garian refugees take comfort
in remaining in Vienna where
they can feel they ore near
home and can hear the Buda
pest radio. I was told that of
II the refugees, the Hun
garians are "the most diffi
cult" because their love of
country is so intense. Think
then what It has meant for
them to decide to leave their
country
I was told by a refugee
expert; who was In Hun
gary during the rcvoluntlon
that it was really a "revolu
tion of chlldren"r-not adults.
A revolution of children who
had never known freedom,
but who had learned of it
from the lips of their parents
and were willing to die for it.
The adults in great number
did not participate in the
fighting "it was really tho
children." He said that the
Hungarian peasants are a
careful, knowing Int. They
did not participate actively,
but they brought everything
they had to Budapest and the
fighting centers,
'There never was so much
food all free in Budapest in
all its history as during the
revolution."
Communist Spies
And what of the condemna
tion of our U-2? Well, in s
small city of Germany I stay
ed with a friend who belongs
to one of Germany's very Im
portant lauded and titled fam
ilies.
There I was told (as I was
in another big city) that Wes
tern Germany knows of at
least 16,000 working out and
out Communist spies. These
are infiltrated everywhere.
How many more non-trained
and non-registered spies the
Germans have no idea
The son of one of the
branches of this family went
into Eastern Germany to sec
his fiancee. He was taken into
custody and questioned. In the
procedure he was told by the
Communists that they knew
everything about his family,
even gave the car licenses of
the two family cars. One of
the workers on the estate had
been planted there for infor
mation. After he left his fi
ancee said the authorities had
been approaching her at fur
qucnt intervals to train for
spy work.
My friend said, "I have no
doubt that they even know
the names of my two beloved
little dogs.'" She had been
told by an ex-worker on one
of their cx-cslntcs In Eastern
Germany that she was not to
talk to him or greet him on
the street. This he felt was
better for her and for him
as his mother was In Eastern
Germany and actions against
her could be used as a threat
to pressure him to give Infor
mation about my friend Bnd
her family.
Intense Hatred
My friend snys she feels
that If East-West Germany
are ever re-unlted that there
will be a revolution between
the two sections. "Tho Com
munists have so succeeded
with many of the East Ger

She says that what goes on
In East Germany now goes
on at the will of tho Com
nuinlst Germans, "who aro al
most worse thnn tho Russ-
iuns."
I feel Hint wo have much
to think about. We hnvo a ter
rific challenge nt no time in
history hns life and living
been so serious. Aro we equal
to meeting and doing some
thing about the International
situation? We hnd better be.
We had better be willing to
do less along tho lines of
pleasure and recrcntlon and
ensy living and be willing and
ready for some sacrifice.
It isn't a question of wall
to-wall carpet, possessions of
cars and boats nnd gadgets
that should be occupying our
minds and interests.
Great Respect
At any rate my experiences
with the refugees has given
me a great respect for them
and their courage and their
efforts, sacrifices for freedom.
At the same time the causes
which have mnde them refu
gees, disturbs me greatly and
deeply. Really their problem
is our problem too for It Is
what has turned our world
upside-down. World condi
tions and happenings have
plnced us first in position
against the threat to the
world can we, will we see
it through?
I think it all depends on us
as Individuals and concerted
action on our part can do
something. It isn't pleasant
thought, but we can't be
ostriches and bury our heads
In Ignorance. Wo had better
put our heads, hands and
hearts to work in knowing
and doing what we are asked
