Los Angeles may be the city
of angels, but one's first impres
sion is that it Is a city of people,
and more people.
This was the second year in a
row that I have spent a short
time in Los Angeles or vicinity,
and while a week is certainly not
sufficient time to evaluate any
city, it is time enough to gather
some lasting impressions of an
area and its occupants.
The area of Los Angeles and
vicinity includes over two million
people, and the number of peo
ple coming into and out of this
area per month is staggering. The
city of Pasadena, for instance,
where I spent most of that week.
has about 2,000 to 3,000 people
moving in monthly.
Naturally such a congestion and
confusion breeds problems. It is
in large expanding areas such as
this that one begins to see the
raw results of the phrase "for the
good of the majority.
Freeways are installed ruthless
ly, without regard for any indi
vidual or their rights. The entire
area is like a huge animal that
is constantly gathering every
thing of the area into itself, and
spewing out only that which it
cannot readily absorb. '
Water and power are being tak
en from areas to the north and
brought into the area by aqueduct
and power lines. And through it
all, an outsider gains the impres
sion that for the growth of the
city itself any means is justified
to gain the end..
It is easy to see why the area
has expanded so greatly. It reach
es out like a huge octopus to gath
er in everything valuable in the
area, to make it a part of its
ever growing circle.
In a sense, it is like a human
being. It is concerned only with
whatever affects its own well be
ing, and has the feeling that the
rest of the world exists for it
rather than the other way around.
For instance, let's take the smog
problem. I noticed a great improve
ment In the smog situation in the
past year's time. A year ago, it
was so strong that it made your
eyes smart, and It was easily ap
parent a block away.
Some fantastic ideas had been
proposed for alleviating the con
dition. One of these was the build
ing of a huge tunnel through the
mountains to a talley on the oth
er side, and by the use of fans,
carrying smog out of the area.
There were others, equally as
fantastic. However, acting in con
cert, the area has banned com
pletely the use of outside incin
erators. They have imposed a
heavy penalty for anyone using
these for burning rubbish. They
apparently have not yet gotten
around to banning outside barbe
cue pits but that may come next.
The problem Is understandable.
There must be just about two mil
lion automobiles in the area alone.
Add these . fumes to those of a
busy city and you have an idea
why such a thing as "smog" oc
curs. The chief concern of the area
seems to be how to get the auto
traffic in and out of Los Angeles.
Freeways have been built every
where, and traffic problems seem
to have top priority.
One thing about those freeways,
they are no place for the faint
hearted nor the novice driver.
Only the most reckless drive the
Inside lane. Myself, ' was on the
extreme outside, and even then
almost got shoved off the high
way. A word of warning, though, if
you're not familiar wilh thoso big
city streets , , . they move some
of Ihcm at niRht.
Everytime that 1 went some
place at night, I found that they
had moved some of the streets
when I started back, and I had
to ask some service station at
tendant where they had moved
them before I found my way home.
Incidentally, they're also build
ing a new menial institution in
the Los Angeles area. A friend of
mine told me that the reason for
it sprung from the fact that all the
Midwesterners came to Los Ange
les expecting to pick up gold in
the streets, and when they couldn't
find it, they went craiy.
That may be, but confidentially
wilh all the traffic, all the peo
ple, and all the problems, it's a
wonder they are not all In In
stitutions.
Myself, being a more rural mind
ed gentlemen (country hick, I think
they call it), I was more than
anxious to swap the city of angels
for the piece and quiet of Klam

cr handout from the U.S. Depart
ment of Agriculture. The four-page
folder, No. 110 in this particular
free service series, carries the re
print of 21 pictures about a new
daily food guide which is offered
'free" by the USDA. All news
papers and magazines are Invited
to write for glossy prints of the
21 pictures.
Now the only money the USDA
has to spend is the money it
gets from you and me as tax
payers. Let's look at what this
picture and editorial service could
cost, remembering that you and
I foot the bill.
There are conservatively 1,500
dally and weekly newspapers pub
lishing food pages in the nation.
At a price of a dollar a print,
the pictures are going to cost
somebody $31,500 if all those news
papers order them. This is ob
viously the 110th such offer, so,
if accepted by newspapers alone
(not counting magazines), the to
tal would be getting close to three
and one-half million dollars. By
the time you add salaries for stuff
ing envelopes, cost of the enve
lopes, wages paid to persons who
handle them through our intricate
postal system, you run up a pret
ty sizable bill for "free"- offers
for you and me to pay for.
We're not going to write for
the pictures. We get better and
more versatile material already
from private Industry such as
homemaking departments of the
big food corporations, meat,
dairy, potato, rice and cereal institutes.
A few thousand dollars more
here and a few thousand there,
added to the already overwhelm
ing cost of government operation,
takes just that much more out of
our income in the form of taxes.
Let's call for a stop to these ever
increasing "free services" we
don't need and don't want.

Everyone, she believes, does
well to create at least some aura
of mystery, and to retain some
area of personal privacy.
"Show business today has oe
come everybody's business," con
tinued the sprightly blonde sing
er, frowning. "While fans are flat
tered to think they are in the real
know, they also miss something
the chahce to idolize and ideal
ize. If there is no mystery left,
there is nothing to idealize."
How can the old glamor of the
entertainment would be restored?
I doubt it much can be done
now, said Vivian frankly, it
would be a long and subtle pro
cess.
"You can't do It anymore by
having a star hide behind a well.
That would only make Mr. and
Mrs. American public break out
laughing.
"They have tried to bring back
the glamor bit, as in the case of
Marilyn Monroe. But how? I'll bet
the bust, waist, and hip measure
ments of Greta Garbo and Pola
Negri weren't widely published.
Their glamor was based on a
sense of mystery."
Miss Blaine, a Newark, N.J.,
lass who started her career as a
dance band singer at 14, would
like to change some of the glamor
surrounding herself. It is the gla
mor she won by portraying "Miss
Adelaide," the eternal blonde fi
ance in "Guys and Dolls."
"In five years I played the role
about 2,000 times, ' she recalled
"The character became like a
rope around my neck. '
"It typed me. I have been close
ly identified with musicals and
comedy, and if I wind up with
them I won't be unhappy. But I
also like to play a heavy role now
and then.

to yourself you have areas within

also helps you stay alive both to

IVo Glamor
By HAL BOYLE
NEW YORK AP) - Who took
the glamor out of show business?
"The stars themselves," said
Vivian Blaine firmly.
"They did it by letting down
the bars of their privacy and in
viting the world into their homes.
Of course, a star has to have a
home life, or his existence is pret
ty vacuous.
But I doubt that show busi
ness has been enhanced by allow
ing the public to come behind the
scenes and see what makes a star
tick in every aspect of his life.
What show business needs is
a little more mystery "
Miss Blaine, who provides some
of the more uproarious laughs In
the hit Broadway musical, "Say,
Darling," also thinks many stars
are gelling entirely too folksy In
their attire.

marked. "The fans lou.. at them

Viv feels the American house

screen and television, could do

Using Sales
By SAM DAWSON
NEW YORK (AP)-The plastics
industry busily raiding markets
once served by metals and other
materials thinks some new plas-
tics and new uses will assure it
another year of rising sales.
The Society of the Plastics In
dustry, after a survey of leading
makers of molds and tools, re
ports today that 1938 sales so far
are either keeping pace with 1957
or exceeding last year's figures by
as much as 40 per cent in some
companies.
Another segment of the indus
try, plastic pipe, which has seen
sales boom from 500,000 pounds
in 1947 to 58 million pounds in
1957, predicts it will sell 60 million
pounds this year for around 50
million dollars.
SPI credits much of the gain in
plastic sales to the last two years
of research and production prog
ress, which are now bearing fruit,
But part of the gain in use of
plastics has been sparked outside
the industry of late by manufac
turers seeking ways in the reces
sion to cut costs, both of mate
rials and of production processes.
and to bolster retail sales by re
designing old products or intro
ducing new ones.
Plastic pipe makers have found
a big field in the irrigated sec
tions of the West, in water lines
around the farm or home, includ
ing the new boom in swimming
pools, and in some industrial proc
esses where corrosion can be a
big cost factor.
This pipe costs about as much
as metal ones but salesmen say
it's much easier agd less expen
sive to install.

Sunny Side
By JAMES MARLOW
Associated Press News Analyst
WASHINGTON (AP) - Secre
tary of State Dulles the driver of
our foreign policy bus likes to
stay on the sunny side of the
street that leads to happy boule
vard.
He wears optimism like a vest
buttoned tight. True, he has some
gloomy moments. But they don't
last long. And he seldom finds
anything wrong with his own
roadmanship.
It was a rather sunny account
of our foreign policy that he gave
the Senate Foreign Relations Com
mittee last week. He listed a num
ber of things we're doing to make
our problems come out right.
"I see," he said, ."a prospect
that provides good ground for
hope. We are not being tossed
about rudderless on a sea of
change. We are guiding and
influencing the character of
change. . ."
He conceded our record is not
perfect" and added: "We have no
doubt done some things we should
not have done and not done all
that we should have done." But he
didn't mention any errors by
name.
And he didn't say anything
about such recent setbacks as the
stoning of Vice President Nixon in
Latin America," or the growing
anti-Westernism in the Middle
East, or the fact the Soviets are
out in front with missiles.
Instead he turned to what he
called the "Communist balance
sheet" and found it didn't balance
because the Soviet problems are
simply insoluble.
Only six of the committee's 15
members were in their seats to
hear Dulles.
Dulles has had some unpleasant
moments . with this committee
whose members have heard him
say one thing one time and what
appeared to be just the opposite
the next time.
For instance: he must have been
having one of his gloomy periods
back in December 1955, when he
said:
The Soviet zigzag policy seemed
ended; they were opening danger
ous new roads in the cold war;
there was a rebirth; and they
might be getting more confident
because they were stronger.
But two months later, in Febru
ary 1956, he said the Soviet lead
ers had to ditch Stalinism; their
policy of "intolerance and vio
lence" had failed because of free
world firmness; and the Soviets
were in a "very bad way."
This so angered Sen. William
Fulbright (D-Ark) or maybe it
was because of the switch from
December that he complained
Dulles was treating us as chit
dren, ready to clap in delight at
every fairy story, no matter how
fanciful."
Dulles seems a little more re
laxed now. Back in those days
the word "panic" was on his
mind. He repeatedly warned this.
country not to be "panicked" by
what the Soviets were doing al
though to others the country
seemed perfectly calm.
He hasn't used the word "pan
ic" in a long time. What's been
bothering Dulles, with his long
training in diplomacy, is Soviet
propaganda and the way they use
it for diplomatic purposes.
But he acknowledged recently
we're getting a little better at
propaganda ourselves.
