In the meantime the Commu

that their regime any place they

make propaganda against this

But the American problem goes
even deeper. For example, in its
desire to keep France in the West

Cold Wr
By JAMES MARLOW

WASHINGTON W-The cold war
against Communist dictatorship of
the left makes strange bedfellows
for the United States, which
preaches democracy but does busi

right.
This is one of the great Ameri
can dilemmas at mid-century.
The immediate effect may be to
limit the spread of communism.
The long-range effect can be bad
For example: in Latin America
which has thrown out seven strong
men since 1955 and has three left
The effect can be bad elsewhere
too.
This is why Vice President
Nixon home after being stoned
and spat upon In Latin America
has reportedly decided to recom
mend this kind of American policy
in ine future:
To be stiff and formal in dealing
with Latin-American slrongmen
but friendly with democratic regimes.
In the meantime this country
has close tics wllh dictatorships
abroad. For example: it does busi
ness with the Spanish dictator.
Francisco Franco, because it
wants to keep American bases in
Spain.
The United Slates, anxious to
keep the Middle East oil lines
open, only last year gave a warm
reception to the King of Saudi
Arabia, who gathers in all the
American money he can for his
family. Little trickles down to his
people.
Nixon received his worst and
most violent treatment in Venezue

threw out lis dictator. Gen. Mar

given asylum in the United States.
In 1953 Milton Eisenhower, the
President's brother, made a Latin
American good will tour similar to
Nixon's this year. When he reach

was carrying a personal message
to Jimenez from President Elsen
hower.
That same year in Colombia the
U. S. Embassy gave a banquet
honoring Milton Eisenhower and
the Colombian strongman, Presi

Newsroom Drama

NEW YORK Oft-Every news
room has its favorite drama. This
is ours.
On April 25, 1955, Relman (Pat)
Morin, special correspondent for
the Associated Press, who had
covered most of the big ones in
war and peace, was hit by a heart
attack. He was convinced he was
through
On May 5, 1958, Pat Morin won
a Pulitzer Prize for his coverage
of the Integration violence in Little
Rock, Ark. It was - one of the
biggest, most complex, most emo
tional stories of the year and the
decade. Also, one of the most
strenuous.
Pat Morin's comeback was com
plete.
The word is used advisedly for
he had never been away, except
in his own mind
Three years ago, he recovered
physically from his heart attack.
After four months, he returned to
his desk and to a warm welcome.
But Pat was suspicious. He
couldn't shake loose the dark feel
ing that he was being shelved:

ment of the big, breaking news
stories, he would be given only

leisurely background stories, the
relaxed features.
a siarung pitcner tor many
years, Pat Morin was now certain
he'd only be used In batting prac
tice.
"Everyone at the office was
very solicitous when I got back,"
he recalls. "Gradually, I got the
feeling I was being wrapped in
cotton wool. I remember there
was talk of sending me up to New
England to cover the floods but
someone thought that would In
volve too much jumping around.
So they gave me an assignment
right here in New York.
"In 1952, I had covered the poli
tical campaign trains, always one
of the most tiring assignments. In
1956, I covered a couple of pri
maries, did some analytical pieces
but never got near a campaign
train. I began to wonder whether
I'd ever get a fast-breaking story
again.
Since joining the AP in 1934.
Pat had covered many fnst-hreak-ing
stories In Los Angeles, in
New York, London, Algiers, Tokyo,
Cairo, New Delhi, Italy and Ko
rea. Came Pearl Harbor and he
was interned by the Japanese. Re
leased in 1942, he covered the war
in Europe. Came the peace, and
he headed AP bureaus in Paris
and Washington. Came the Ko
rean War, and he was back on the
(ighling front, this time among the
rice paddies, where he won his
first Pulitzer Prize.
He became the kind of corre-1

year, he traveled more than 40,000
miles, at home and abroad. He
covered the coronation of a queen
in Westminster Abbey and the in
auguration of a president in Wash
ingtonthe execution of the Ro
senbergs, presidential campaign
trains, strikes, crimes, trials.
All these were strenuous assign
ments but in 1955, after a heart
attack at 47, Pat Morin thought he
was to be benched as an arm
chair reporter.
"I had doubts on two counts.
Frankly, I myself wondered if I
could again take on a physically
demanding story. Also, I doubted
the office would give me one.
Both doubts were removed in
Little Rock last year, between
September 10 and October 1. For
days, he was on his feet hours on
end, fighting through crowds, rush
ing to phones, dictating and writ
ing far into the night, sleeping lit
tle most nights, not at all some
nights.
Now and then, he slipped into
a grocery store near the Little
Rock high school to make notes
on a napkin, to grab a cup of cof
fee and gulp down some pills and
drops. The pills were to counteract
the fat deficiency in his diet. The
drops were to strengthen his heart
muscle.
"Actually," Pat recalls, "I don't
think I thought about my heart
attack except once, after working
all night, I wondered whether I
was pushing my luck too far. But
my health remained fine.
"Little Rock, for me, was get
ting over a mountainous hump
That's why the Pulitzer Prize was
doubly sweet."
Lady Tinsmilli
By SAM HANCOCK
(United Press)
Mrs. Louise Collard says being
a tinsmith is just like being a
dressmaker. You have to' follow
the pattern.
The 52-year-old woman from
Herrin. Illinois, can make address
out of tin or a rain gutter. In
fact, she's willing to tackle any
job that a customer can put on
paper.
Mrs. Collard has been a tinsmith
since 1931. But the mother, and
grandmother, is equally at home
in the kitchen or the sewing room
She rolls a mean pie crust. And
she sews dresses, from cloth, for
her four granddaughters.
Her husband says tinsmithing
came easy for her because she
knows how to make dresses. Says
Mrs. Collard: "My two daughters
didn't know what a bought dress
was until they were ,16."
Ora Collard was running an auto
body shop when a friend wanted to
get into the tin shop business.
Collard bought $200 worth of
equipment at a bankruptcy sale
and started smithing.
Mrs. Collard learned the trade
from a family friend. She and her
husband ran the shop until Ora
Jr. returned from World War II.
Then he took over the tinsmithing,
furnace and air-conditioning firm.
Mrs. Collard still helps out in
the shop. And she notes the sur
prise of new customers when they
ask to see the tinner and she tells
them she's one.
The hardest job she recalls was
during the war. The firm had an
order for 400 tin chimneys for a
government housing project in
Herrin.
At the same time, she says, coal
miners were finding it almost im
possible to 'buy new dinner buck
ets. "They came from all over to
have them recapped here," she relates.
The versatile Mrs. Collard has
also designed and built a one-man
tin boat. She estimates that she

Airs. Lollard claims that any

can become a tinsmith.

Soviet Progress
By LEROY POPE
(United Press)
It's pretty obvious that facts cut
a lot more ice than argument or
oratory.
And there's one thing for sure
about the speech Allen Dulles
made to the United States Cham
ber of Commerce this past week
It contained plenty of facts
disquieting facts for the consider
ation of the western world.
The head of the U.S. Central
Intelligence Agency outlined the
grim race being staged by the Rus
sians with nations of the West. If
the West loses the race, Nikita
Khrushchev will spread Commu
nism over the face of the earth
One of the disquieting facts re
ported by Dulles shows the Rus
sians increasing their industrial
production by about 11 per cent
during first quarter of this year.
And mark this: During that same
period, industrial output in this
country declined by it per cent.
Also, Dulles said, Russia's cur
rent output of machine tools is
about double that of the United
States. He said, too, that Russia
and Red China both surpassed the
United States in steel production
during the first three months of the
year. Soviet steel production alone
is now 75 per cent of that of the
United States and almost unbeliev
able report.
The CIA chief said further that
Russia may be able to produce
as much oil as the United States
by 1972. That would permit Rus
sia to export two million barrels
of oil a day, two-thirds of all West
ern Europe's present requirements
Dulles went on and on, spelling
out the new Russia and the Soviet
bid to become the greatest power
in the world, economically and
otherwise.
All these facts lead to one pur
pose. That is to enable the Reds
to say to the uncommitted peoples
of the world and to the discontent
ed people in the western countries
'See, as we told you, our system
works. Capitalism doesn't because
it's worn out and outdated."
The Russian message also will
say Ihat no matter how much
money capitalists make and spend
sooner or later the machine breaks
down and there's a big depres
sion.
The Dulles speech has hardly
caused a big sensation in Ameri
can business circles. Yet Dulles
is not the first man to warn the
western world that economic ri
valry with Russia is a far greater
threat to the western way of life
lhan Hitler's hot war or Stalin's
cold war. '
And people like Dulles say the
Russian economic threat will be
wilh us (or a long time. They say
the Soviet Inion is sure to have
more and more surplus goods and
wealth in years to come to use
in a great economic war with the
free world.
