Count The Rings
Other People's Cocktails Credited
With Slowing Down Process of Aging
By DICK WEST
WASHINGTON (UPI) It is
widely agreed that Marlene Die
trich is one of the natural won
ders of this con
tinent. Some re
gard her as
even more fas
cinating than
the organ pipe
cactus of Arizo
na. In fact, a
pretty good case
could be made
made for the
nroixisition that
Miss Dietrich should be placed
under the jurisdiction of the Na
tional Parks Service.
I don't mean, of course, that
she should be designated as a
national monument merely on
the basic of beauty. There are
many entertainers who are
equally as beautiful, if not more
so.
Nor are her celebrated legs
sufficient to qualify her for the
same status accorded to the
natural bridges of Utah.
What makes Miss Dietrich,
who has four grandchildren, one
of nature's phenomena is her
resistance to the aging process.
She appears to age at about the
same rate as a California red
wood. Unless you had access to
her birth certificate, the only
way to tell how old she is
would be to saw her in half
and count the rings.
The other evening I attended
a reception for Miss Dietrich
at the Shoreham hotel where
she is currently doing her night
club act. And there I discov
ered the secret of how she stays
so youthful looking.
She docs it with cocktails. Not
the ones she drinks. The ones
other people drink.
When I arrived at the party,
I saw a group of women giving
Miss Dietrich the once-over, as
did all the other women in the
room. So I moved up to eaves
drop.

'Isn't that marvelous!" I
heard one of them exclaim. "She
must be at least 60 and she
could easily pass for a wom
an of 47."
Approximately 30 minutes, or
one cocktail, later, I passed
within earshot of the same
group again.
"It's really remarkable," one
of them was saying. "She
doesn't look a day over 45."
At this point I went over
and had a chat with Miss Die
trich. I wanted to tell her of
my long-standing desire to
hear her sing a duct with
Tallulah Bankhead. Miss Die
trich was not exactly capti
vated by my suggestion.
Then I rejoined the little
group I had been auditing just
in time to hear one of them
comment that anyone who did
not know who Miss Dietrich
was would never suspect that
she was over 40.
The next time around the
track, Miss Dietrich had retro
gressed to the late 30s and
was obviously getting vounger
by the drink. That was'when I
departed.
I would love to have seen
Miss Dietrich as a teen-ager,
but it wasn't worth a hangover.

forgave her, took her back, but
now she's back to the old tricks.

100 BILLION' BUDGET AND 'CONSTRUCTIVE DEFICIT'
In January President Kennedy will make history by submitting
to Congress the first $100 billion-plus budget in tne almost two
centuries that the United States has been a nation. Even at
the peak of World War II spending, the budget didn't reach this
milestone.
At the same time the President will project another budget
deficit the fourth in a row since he entered the White House,
the 28th in the 34 years since Herbert Hoover's era. This deficit
will be labeled unofficially at least a "constructive deficit"
and it probably will be estimated at over $9 billion.
There's not a chance that the budget for the year to begin
next summer can be held under $100 billion. Despite all the talk
about major spending cuts, real efforts to put a lid on outgo and
some progress in this direction, spending this current year is
running around $98 billion. Additional billions of spending already
are built into the next budget for interest on the rising national
debt, for defense, for space exploration.
Nor is there a chance that another deficit can be avoided.
It's certain with a tax cut and it's certain without one. So far,
however, President Kennedy has managed to hold his deficits
under the peacetime record of $12.1 billion chalked up in the
Eisenhower year of 1939.
The heart ot the matter isn't the total of the budget, though.
If Federal government income were bigger than outgo and the
budget was in the black, much of the fuss about the impact of
a budget topping $100 billion would disappear overnight. Actually,
when the rising budget is placed in the perspective of our growing
economy, its "size" shrinks. As a percentage of our gross na
tional product, the budget has remained a bit over 16 per cent for
10 years.
The heart of the matter is the deficit year after year of red
ink. This explains the Kennedy administration's determination
to defend the next deficit as "constructive" and it will make this
defense with increasing urgency as the countdown begins on the
$11 billion tax reduction bill framed by the House Ways and
Means Committee.
A comparison between the $12.4 billion deficit of 1959 and the
$9 billion-plus deficit to be projected for next year will indicate
what is meant by a constructive deficit.
President Eisenhower didn't plan that record peacetime deficit
in 1959. He didn't anticipate it when that fiscal year started.
The deficit developed "passively," because the United States
was hit by a recession, profits and paychecks fell and, therefore,
the tax cut dwindled despite the fact that tax rates remained
unchanged. The 1959 deficit was an "inactive" deficit and re
flected our economy's weakness.
Now consider the deficit to he projected for next year. It
will be planned as a stimulant to our economy on two counts.
First, the deficit wilt reflect the fact that the government will
be scheduling outgo higher than income and thus will be putting
more money into the economic stream than it is taking out In
the form of taxes. Second, the deficit will reflect tax cuts which
will leave more money in the cash registers of businessmen to
invest in plants and equipment and more money in the hands
of individuals to spend on things and non-things. The theory Is
that these two stimulants will boost paychecks and profits, pro
vide more taxes even at lower rales. An estimate Is that big
ger paychecks and profits could hike tax revenues as much as
S20 billion a year by three years from now. The new deficit,
it's argued, would be "active" and would be spurring economic
growth.
Will it work nut that way? We'll never know until we try
the tax reductions. One thing sure is that the budget deficit will
skyrocket if our economy falters even slightly. Another thing
sure is that our tax burden is n constant drag on our economy.
A third thing sure is that a deficit resulting from action to
strengthen our country is far preferable to one resulting from
inaction and recession.

Guinea Hens Squawking
Serves As Alarm System
"It is deep water that runs
still: only the shallow, little
brooks giggle and gurgle." Who
ever said that must nave naa
some experience with that pe
culiar domestic fowl, the guinea
hen, for these birds are typical
examples of a loud mouth and
an empty head.
In fact the guinea hen, al
though as large, as a chicken,
has a head about the size ol an
English sparrow. With a head so
small and with a certain part
of it taken up by a pair of large
eves, tongue, veins and muscles.
the available space left (or a
brain is really smaller than a
pea. To prove their lack of in
telligence, the guinea fowls have
a voice louder than any other
domestic fowl and they use it
almost constantly. Neither is it a
pleasant voice. It is har.sn, snnn
and clangorous.
Alarm System
Some farmers keep guinea
hens only because of their ap
titude for "making much ado
about nothing which acts as
an alarm system, warning the
owner if trespassers are enter-1
ing the property. Nothing goes
on without the alert niros;
knowledge; the noisy clatter;
that results cither frighten away
the intruder or warns of his pre- j
sence.
An old fashioned idea held by
many to be true, was that the
raucous clatter frightened away
chicken hawks. It is doubtful if
a bird as wise as the so-called
chicken hawk is known to be
could be fooled by the squawk
ing of a silly guinea hen, but
even experience and wisdom
have often been shouted down
by a loud voice. Maybe a self
respecting nawn wouia avoia
any place where birds of the
guinea's temperament resided.
The heritage ol tne guinea
fowl goes back a long way.
They were highly prized as food
in the days ot tne early Ko
reans. Too, they arc considered
a game bird in Africa. Belong
ing as they do to the grouse
family, the meat has a wild,
gamcy flavor. In many Amer
ican restaurants they are served
as wild game.
The Romans has some strange
superstitions regarding the guin
ea fowls, believing the spots on
the high backed birds were
tears of sisters shed for the
death of an older brother. The
ridiculously small head is nak
ed, surmounted by a calloused
crest and adorned with large,
bright red wattles.
When walking, they nod their
heads violently and sulk through
the grass and weeds with all
the stealth of a wild creature.
They are active feeders and can
subsist entirely on a diet of
weed seeds and insects. On
farms that have been abandon
ed, the guinea fowl continue to
live without human protection
of any kind. Where all the do
mestic fowl would starve, the
guinea hen will thrive.
There is a very definite vocal
equality of the sexes here, for
both male and female have the
same harsh clatter which close
ly resembles the persistent
squeaking of a rusty gate. Here
are a couple of birds "of a
feather" that must of necessity
"flock together," for any sane,
sensible bird would certainly
recognize the obvious truth that
a loud voice and a low intellect
quite often go together and
would have no truck with cither
of them.
