Don't people ask you to their parties anymore? Ma be lis be cause you need to brush uo on your rconteur-lng. Your twice-told talcs have gone the rounds too oiten. So today we offer you free two of Uie best stories we've heard lately, and you're welcome to them. (If you've already heard them don't write and tell us they're old. - Everything is getting older these days.) t . The first concerns the army colo nel's wife, stationed in the Philip pines In the years before the last war. She had the kind of cook women dream of a Chinese named Mr. Ling, who could dish up a dream meal for one unexpected guest, or a dosen, on quick notice. One evening, however, she was having a dinner party for 20 people, including a bishop. "This has to be something really special," she told Mr. Ling that morning, and explained that the ecclesiastical guest was quite dis tinguished. The Chinese cook seemed deeply Impressed. That night he served uo a splen did meal. As the guests leaned back, relaxing from the tremen dous repast, in strode Mr. Ling carrying a huge and glittering cake. Beaming, he placed it on the table before the hostess. She and the bishop both leaned over to resd some flowery lettering that Mr. Ling had inscribed with icing atop the cake. It said: "Hooray for Jesus!" The second story is raising laughter in United Nations circles here. It concerns a mythical future i ABCs WASHINGTON, Ut Maybe It's because he's rich and doesn't need the Job and so feels free to speak as he pleases. Or maybe he's just , new to the ways of Washington, or just an unusual man anyway. But Frank McKinney. the Demo crats' new political field general, is developing the habit of putting the pronoun "I" ahead of the Pres ident when he makes a speech or talks to reporters. This 46-year-old Irishman, an In dianapolis banker, was chosen last October as new chairman of the Democratic national committee which has the job of trying to get the Democrats re-elected next year. He couldn't have had the job without the blessing of Pres. Tru man who is still boss of the Demo crats, with McKinney now his No. 1 right-hand man in politics. Anyone m McKlnney's job. of course, is going to have his bands full and his job isn't made easier by the scandals which have been coming to light in Truman s ad ministration. .. HOISECLEANING It's generally acknowledged the Trum suites will have to do some cleaning before election time. Mc Kinney publicly stated his aware ness of the problem in a speech late in November. He said then "any man who be trays the people's trust in public office is a public enemy-" He prom ised "no malefactor in public of fice shall go unpunished." And then he added: "I am ready to help and, what Is more Impor tant, Harry S. Truman is ready to help." The fact that In this revelation Fbout the administration's inten tions be put the letter "I" ahead of the President may have been due entirely to his particular style in composition. And too, he tem pered it by noting that Truman's attitude was more Important. But Tuesday, with the tax scan dals getting more unpleasant by In this time of trial for the free nations, the courage and vision of a small band of men has supplied the driving power behind great projects conceived for the security and well-being . of liberty-loving peoples. Yet over many of these projects hangs an air of unreality. The European defense army, revived German military units, the Schu man plan for the pooling of Euro pean coat ana sieei output, me Dolltlcsl federation of the conti. nent, are at varied distances from their goal of completion. Even the brilliant - economic recovery at tained under the Marshall Plan is beginning to appear a temporary ining. To say "these things take time" is not a sufficient answer. No sen sible individual minimizes the over whelming complexities of today's foreign affairs. Progress In any age is beset by obstacles, -and somehow they seem bigger and more plentiful In this nostwar era. But It isn't the hazards alone that account for the present un certainties. A fog of defeatist Inertia clouds the minds of many men, Including some in high places. They appear fascinated by their difficulties. Their mental energy is devoted to elaborate arguments why things cannot or snouia not oe done. Most of those who feel thus bound against a course of real ac tion happen to be Europeans. That Is partly accidental, for Europe at the same time has produced some of the most resourceful leaders the free world can boast. Prime Min ister Pleven and Foreign Minister Schuman of France have particu larly distinguished themcelves with imaginative proposals for strength ening the West. But the heavy concentration of defeatists In Europe alto derives partly from the continent's long BILL JENKINS Managing Editor meeting of "The Big Three" Tru man, Stalin and Churchill. The trio of world leaders were quarreling bitterly about the prob lems of East and West when sud denly a beautiful little fairy ap peared in the conference room. She wore a trailing gown of white and had a twinkling star on her fore head Waving her small wand, she said gently: "Gentlemen, gentlemen, please do not use any more harsh words. I can help you out of your diffi culties. Each of you make a wish, and if I grant it perhaps that will solve your problems." First, she asked Truman his wish. "I want you to take the biggest H-bomb that can be built, set it down iu the heart of Russia, and exulode It," he said. "That'll be a big help." Turning to Stalin, the fairy said: "And your wish?'" "I'd like you to raise the great est tidal wave in history," he said. and send it clear across the Unit ed States, and wash every Ameri can into the sea. You'll see how quickly peace will follow." The little tairy signed, ana turned to Churchill, and said: "And your request? "Oh. just give me a long cigar and a double brandy and soda." he said cheerfully. 'That U be quite easy." said the little fairy, brightening. "I can do that right away." no hurry, no flurry, replied Churchill, waving his hand airily. "Serve the other two gentlemen first!" the hour, McKinney went to see the President in the White House. It's usual when one of Truman's lieutenants confers with him if they've agreed on some Important decision for the caller to keep quiet so the president can make the announcement in his own way. This reluctance of White House callers to discuss what "I said to the President and what he said to me" always allows the Presi dent u no one knows wnat was talked about to change his mind privately. But when McKinney came out of the White House he was surround ed by reporters. STEAMED t'P It may be that he was unaware of the White House custom just mentioned or that he was just too steamed up by the developing scan dals to keep his lip buttoned. He promptly told newsmen he had advised Truman that he could not overemphasize the importance of "drastic action in the imme diate future without delay. I'm in clined to think there will be ac tion soon." Perhaps it was planned that way. Perhaps the President told McKin ney to go ahead and tell the world the White House was going to low er the boom It's possible, too. that it didn't happen that way and that Truman doesn't appreciate McKlnney's tell ing reporters he, McKinney, had told the President what to do or even that the President intended doing anything. If Truman doesn't start a fast clean-up he'll be embarrassed since his own master-politician already has told the world he told the presi dent a clean-up Is necessary. McKinney, of course, did not in any way try to give an impres sion that Truman didn't know the situation. He said the President is very much aware of It. Still it might be fun listening in on the conversation the next time the two men get together. history of war and troubled bor- ders. Europeans who dwell upon the obstacles before them believe this is a sign of their political wisdom and maturity. They style them selves the only true "realists." The rest of us, especially the brash young Americans, are nov ices who do not understand the world. The!" men are mors weary than they realize. They have lost the resilience needed to cope with modern life. They are evidently content to be mastered by their problems, rather than bent upon establishing mastery over them. If this Is maturity, then maturity must be equated with virtual stag nation. What the free world needs Is none of this maturity but more Schumans. Flevens, Eisenhowers, and the like. Men who recognize that defeat cannot be counte nanced, who believe thati problems can be solved, who are willing and eager to turn their minds boldly and Inventively to the making of positive solutions. We have seen enough of the sterile spirit of resignation. The man of flabby will, of timid pur pose, of easy alarm is not the free world's symbol. Nor should he be Its guide and counsellor. On the speed with which he Is thrust off the stage may depend the West's salvation in the fight against Rus sian tyranny.

He told them to be on the look out for talkative patients because a talkative patient is a patient witli anxieties. Then he went on to say that a dentist, understanding this talkativeness, should be able to tell the ditierence between real and Imaginary tooth miseries. Under ordinary circumstances, the average laymen shouldn't tan gle with the erudite opinions of the head men, but it so happened that when I read this item I was nurs ing a swollen jaw. bruised Up and was rinsUig with salt and hot water every hour. I can onlv conclude that this DAT- i ticularly psychiatrist never hos : been torn between a joust .with drill or forceps and living on with an aching molar. Or maybe he's one of tnose rare birds who does not object to noises like chalk scraping on a blackboard or the clatter of a drill operated in an area that feels like the center of the head. There's no denying the psychia trist's thesis that dentists should be on the lookout for talkative pa tients. And he s sure right when he says that a talkative patient is a person suffering from anxieties. Speaking as an extremely talka tive patient. I would say that most of these anxieties are concerned entirely with what's going to hap pen while the patient is seated in the dentist's chair. Personally, I start a sort of nerv ous babbling a good 24 hours be fore the arrival of the fatal mo ment when the dentist comes at me with a handful of Instruments and his assistant starts wheeling up the portable X-ray machine for the check-up. I'm full of anxiety and as a consequence, talking to keep my courage up when I show uo to have my teeth cleaned and checked on. After all. I figure, there's al ways a chance he's going to find something. And I keep right on talking when my mouth Is stuffed Saying "Thanks" Is Big Job For Fafher of Family By WALLACE MYERS Norman Chase Just can't do it; he's tried and tried but the Job is Just too tough. . . Chase has been trying to get words down on paper that will con vey the gratitude he and his family feel toward a lot of good people. Chase and his wife. Madge, have seven children ranging in age from nve momns to nine years, just before Thanksgiving the Chases made .a down payment on a new home and bought quite a lot of new lurnisnings. The Chases were all in bed asleep when the fire broke out in their home late in the nlghl of De- cemoer -. ine little nome was a mass of flame in a matter of minutes and the family barely es caped. In saving five-months-old Tommy, Mrs. Chase broke through a window, severing a tendon in her leg and gashing her back. , Practically everything in the house was lost: the Chases sal vaged little more than the night ciotnes tney escaped in. ine following morning was a NEW YORK. IPi Is father the problem child on your Christmas snooping nst7 II you're hunting for something to startle him out ol his slippers on Christmas morning, businessmen will be quite happy to help you with some new ideas. Even neckties pleated ones, lor example. You can also startle him again when the bills come in after New Year's. The best quality and fan ciest merchandising bears notably high price tags this year. Example: a (48 shirt Imported from austere Britain. Businessmen have some striking things for mother this year, too. Such things as painted and bejew elled stockings, and shirred and boned cummerbunds for nipped waists. And the Jewelry Industry council says yellow sapphires are for brunettes, aquamarines for blondes, while certain women should wear no Jewels but emer alds. If merchants have their way, next year is going to see a much more colorful, expensive and alto gether astounding world. ' GYRATING MATTRESS To get back to dad and his New Year's financial shock, you might consider getting him a gyrating mattress. Denver has known about this for two years, but this Christ mastime the mattress is being pushed In the East. An undulating mechanism Is built Into the mat tress. It is designed to sooth dad's Inflation-wracked nerves and . lull him to sleep. Time with all the uncomfortable and frightening instruments of the pro fession. I shut up and relax only when mv dentist pushes back his glasses and assures me I'm In top chewing form for another four months. Let me assure this psychiatrist and -all the demists who heard him that I've spent a lifetime query ing friends and associates on their emotional responses to a dentist's appointment, atid 1 ve found only four people who didn't dread it like I do. All four of them confessed they'd never had a oavity. Furthermore, this psychiatrist would have you believe that many of us talky patients go around ima Dining we have tooth troubles. I I just can't believe this Parcnnollv T oan imiam t,,,n n.rc. fn. a good long time, and even then ,auestlonrd sternlv bv mv demist will minimise the trouble. On many an occasion, my tongue has found an obvious cmvlty and I've kept my guilty knowledge from mv den tist. I told myself I was testing his skill at finding the trouble. He always passes the test, however, and novocaine follows. In an effort to prepare myself for the ordeal of the dentist's chair, I have developed two pre-dental-appointment tests which I adminis ter secretly. The first is the candy test. In this I chew a chocolate bar. utilizing every tooth In the process. If no discomfort results. I figure chances are pretty good that all I'll run Into is a cleaning job. Then I follow this up by the toughest test, the dill pickle test. This is done the same way, with stronger, more disturbing material. If I can chow dill Dickie without untoward results. I breeze into the dentist's office relaxed and almost silent. If they'd Just get ahead and In vent some nice, quiet and non painful replacements for the ham mers, picks, air blowers and above all the drills that get stuffed into the mouth, most of the anxieties which turn us patients into chatterboxes would disappear as If by magic. bleak one for Chase, with his wife in the hospital, neighbors caring lor the seven small children and the new home and furnishings lost. Then things started to happen as news oi ine disaster got around The Eighth Street Gang pitched in and prowled clothing and food the Red Cross made an on-the- scene investigation of needs and made a sizable contribution: sever al people kicked In with donations oi money, nousenoid goods and clothing. In the meantime, neighbors .and friends took care of the seven youngsters and made other contri butions. Now the Chases are established In another house and things arc getting back on an even keel. The Chases are deenlv flrrateful to everyone, but Norman, the hus band and father. Just can t get It all down on paper. He wants to say: "Thanks folks . . .You've been wonderful and a Merry Christmas to you all from the Chases." Or you can buy him a pure sil'-. suit, as originally spun by the wilt silk worm of Tibet. Sales were rc ported good last summer, consid ering the price, and merchants think they ought to appeal Just now to the woman shopper seeking to Improve the style of her husband. To do a complete Job of that there's an entirely new outllt, too, built around the latest "new sil houette" for men, as shown for the first time at the National Outer wear and Sportswear Assoc. lunch eon recently. Designers often long for a "new silhouette" for the mas culine figure, but this particular one is based on the natural shoul der. ....
