Here's A Profile Of Man
Named To Head New Unit
DES MOINES (AP)-A hawk
with a butch haircut that's Leo
A. Hoegh, chief of the new Office
of Defense and Civilian Mobiliza
tion. The 50-ycar-old former Iowa
governor was named by President
Eisenhower Tuesday to the $25,-COO-a-year
combined agency job.
Since he was named civil de
fense administrator a year ago,
this energetic Midwesterner has
carried to Washington his hawk
like habit of heading straight for
target.
Actually, Hoegh's name (pro
nounced "Hoyg") means hawk in
Danish, His adversaries will tell
you the name fits. Hoegh likes a
good scrap.
This trait has endeared him to
his friends. He gives and receives
loyalties with singular intensity.
During World War 11. Gen. Ter
ry Allen made special mention of
Hoegh's "complete" loyalty."
Hoegh was operations officer of
Allen s famed 104th iTimberwolO
Infantry Division. He received
three battlefield decorations. After
the war he wrote the division his
tory, "Timberwolf Tracks."
As a boy, Hoegh shined shoes
in tne Danish community of Elk
horn, Iowa, where he was born
"a nickle for oxfords, a dime for
high shoes with mud on them,
Not long out of the University
of Iowa, where he studied law, he
was elected to the stale legislature
at the age of 28. After three
terms came four years of war
duty, a stretch of legal practice
in inanton, Iowa, and then ap-
point ment as state attorney gen
eral. In this job the young lawyer
with the close-cropped hair be
came widely known.
' In 1954 Hoegh was elected gov-
ernor. He was an aggressive ad
ministrator and tangled several
times with his Republican legisla
tive majorities. Some in the party
did not weep when he was defeat
ed in 1956. None, however, chal
lenged his integrity.
Hoegh was a pre-convention Ike
man in 19o2. He had a key role in
landing eight pro Eisenhower
votes from among Iowa's 10 dele
gates at large.
When he left the statchouse in
early 1957, Hoegh said he wasn't
interested in a federal job. He ac-
cepted the civil defense post last
July, however, and old-timers in
the federal Civil Defense Adminis
tration say he has been a real
sparkplug.
In less than a year Hoegh has
started a program aimed at pro
viding a million radiological mon
itors within a year, promulgated
a national shelter policy, and has
drawn up a national civil defense
plan to be announced if Congress
provides the prerequisites.
Hoegh, his attractive wife Mary
Louise, and their two daughters,
Kristin, 14, and Janis, 9, live in
a new colonial four-bedroom house
in Bethesda, Md.
Before they left Chariton they
put many of their household pos
sessions up for auction. Janis'
electric train was on the block.
Then Hoegh and Janis had a little
talk.
Hoegh bid it in for $.14.

Errand That May Fail
SACRAMENTO (AP)-Sen. Wil-i
liam F. Knowland comes to town
today on a political mission that
appeared doomed in advance.
The Republican candidate for
governor, flying here to address
the American Legion state con-'
vention, arranged to meet with
Gov. Goodwin J. Knight for the
first time since the Democratic
tinged California primary.
His announced purpose: To try
and unite California Republicans
for the November election campaign.
Knight, Republican nominee for
Knowland's Senate seat, has
pretty well ruled out any tie-up
with the senator whose candidacy
for the state job prompted Knight
to give up his bid for reelection.
The governor told newsmen
yesterday he's going to stand on
his June 12 declaration. That
statement bespoke his intention to
campaign on his own, independent
of the GOP ticket.
It also cited their difference on
a controversial labor issue a
point that Knight elaborated on at
length at yesterday s news con
ference.
Knowland said in Washington
that in his meeting with Knight
he would try to get an area of
agreement on "right-to-work" and
other labor legislation which all
GOP nominees could accept.
But Knight, looking for labor
support in his own campaign
said:

"My position is well known. It
hasn't changed and it won't
change. I'm opposed to the 'right-
to-work proposal.
"If the people of the state want
right to work' they will have an
opportunity to vote on the matter
at the November election.
He said California has enjoyed
great prosperity and industrial
peace without such a law.
Knowland has endorsed the in
itiative on the November ballot
which would outlaw the union
shop in California. Knight noted
that all other Republican candi
dates oppose the measure.
The governor said he is all tor
"full democracy in unions" and
that there can be general Repub
lican agreement on that. Know
land told a meeting of campaign
workers in San Jose two weeks
ago that he would not back down
on the open-shop issue.
Atty. Gen. Edmund G. Brown
Knowland's Democratic rival for
the governorship, offered his op
ponent some advice at a news
conference yesterday. He sug
gested that Knowland adopt the
labor plank in the 1956 Republican
state platform.
Brown - called attention to the
plank advocating "the right to
establish 'union shop' contracts
by agreement with management."
He commented:
"The senator repudiated it and
I suggest he get back with his
party on that issue.
WEED Ceremonies of installa
tion for officers of the Siskiyou

LONDON (NEAi London is the
world to supply opera-goers with
ripe tomatoes.
The tomatoes are ready to hand
by virtue of the Royal Opera
House's location at Covent Gar
den, London's busy fruit, vege
table and flower market.
The only reason they are not
hurled more often at unpopular
Italian tenors is that the Bow
Street police court is also direct
ly opposite the opera house
This spring as tne noyai upera
House celebrates its 100th birth
day, Londoners are reminded once
more of the queer world which
has resulted from this association
of prima donnas, cops and vege
table hucksters.
It is a world dominated by the
exotic fragrance of garlic mixed
with greasepaint and gardenias
It is. a world in which the over
lure of Figaro may suddenly be
punctuated by the snarl of a po
lice siren, as the paddy wagon
pulls up in front of the Bow
Street courthouse; in which the
highly - paid baritone may be
howled down by the banana ven
dor outside.
Opera singers, arriving for early
morning rehearsals, find them
selves jostled by pimps and prosti
tutes, beggars and petty thieves,
who line the sidewalk waiting for
their cases to be called at the
Dolice court opposite.
Ballerinas draw long, low wolf
whistles from the Cockney mar
ket porters as the girls hurry past
bound for the stage door and the
enchanted groves of "Swan Lake
And opera patrons, impeccable
in evening dress, pick their way
among cabbage stalls for an eve
ning of Wagner.
The Covent Garden opera has
other claims to fame. It was here
beneath its porticoes that Eliza
Colville Indians
Visiting Basin
A delegation of Colville Indians
from the state of Washington is
currently visiting Klamath Tribe
officials on the local reservation,
studying the Klamath termination
picture.
Jesse L. Kirk Sr., Klamath
Council vice president, said the
visitors are interested in profit
ing from our mistakes here."
The Colvilles, headed by Louis
Wapato, chairman of the tribal
council, are making a five-year
study of how best to terminate
their reservation.
Their termination act, not yet
enacted, will take into considera
tion the study prepared by tribal
members themselves.
Kirk said the Colvilles are
"trying to avoid the pitfalls we
Klamaths ran into here."
Make Friends, Not Enemies
Says South Carolina Chief
Doolittle. the little Cockney flower-
girl of "My Fair Lady," met her
Prof. Higgins.
Inside the opera house, however.
one is far removed from the world
of cabbages and Cockneys. Here
alt is crimson and gilt elegance.
The grand staircase hung with
crystal chandeliers, the horseshoe
iers. the footmen with their pow-j
dered wigs, are just as they were
century ago, when the opera
house first opened.
The cipher nf Queen Elizabeth
II is embroidered in gold on the
drop curtains as a reminder that
Covent Garden enjoys royal patronage.
It was here at Lovent oarden
that Khrushchev and Bulganin
were entertained as a highlight
of their visit to Britain a few
vears ago. Before them, Marshal
Tito was an honored guest at a
gala performance. Londoners like
show oil tneir min-victorian
opera house.
U has oeen a memoraoie cen
tury for Covent Garden, for it was
from its stage that such singers
as Melba. Chaliapin. Caruso, let-
azzim and bupervia reached the
heights of their world fame. Ade-
lina Patti reigned as virtual queen
at Covent Garden for 25 years.
and before her there was the
great prima donna. Giulia Grisi.
Actually, the present Royal op
era House is the third to stand
on the same site, the original hav
ing opened in 1732 with Con-
greve's play, "The Way of the
World." The first Covent Garden
theater was primarily a home of
drama.
In 1766 the first strike at Covent
Garden occurred, when ballet danc
ers refused to wear worsted stock
ings instead of the accustomed
silk. The historic theater burned
down in 1808 when a faulty stove
DiDe caught fire.
The second Covent Garden
opened a year later with Mrs.
Siddons hypnotizing audiences as
Lady Macbeth, and in 1811 the
opera house added to its claims
the first appearance of an ele
phant on any stage, the pachy
derm starring in a Christmas pantomime.
But Covent Garden now began
to devote itself almost exclusively
to opera, with the management
commissioning operas from such
composers as Carl Maria von weo-
er. iVon Weber was paid the
princely sum of $1,500 for "Ober
on" which he wrote specially for
Covent Garden.)
On March 5. 1656. the second
Covent Garden theater burned to
the ground, after a rowdy, all-
ight masked ball. Two years later
the present opera house was com
pleted.

UPI Hollywood Correspondent
HOLLYWOOD (UPI)- Charles
Coburn had about as much suc
cess keeping his birthday a sec
ret as Kim Novak had with that
car.
Both "secrets" found their
way into pictures and print from
coast to coast.
If it had been up to him the
day he turned 81 last week would
have passed quietly witnout men
tion. But Coburn had underesti
mated the 20th Century-Fox pub
licity people. It started at lunch-
time in the studio commissary.
"So you know about it, do you?"
Coburn growled at the waitress
who brought him a mound oi pine
aoDle sherbert crowned with s
sinele Dink candle. "Well, thank
you very much. I thought I might
be able to keep it quiet.
Just then the studio publicity
lariv SDoke un.
"You know, Mr. Coburn told
me that the secret of staying
young at his age is to 'find the
work you like, work like the dev
il at it, and keep dancing.
Coburn appeared to wince a lit
tie.
"I've put that in his biography,"
she added, patting a nine-page,
single-? paced typed manuscript
just off the mimeograpn macnine
"Let me take a look at that.'
Coburn said and then began leaf
tne through the fact sheets which
in listing his credits and the
names of his leading ladies, di
rectors and co-stars sounds like
a who s who of the movie indus
try. The woman publicist excused
herself and left the table for a
minute, and Coburn's tone be
came confidential.
"I don't know why they're al
ways asking me how I stay so
"voung." " he said in a low voice.
"'I don't know what to tell them.
I don't know. That's just the way
I am!"
Cohurn. who on June 19 cele
brated his 67th year as an actor
as well as his birthday, appears to
be just as spry la term he ab
hors) as ever.
His favorite role always is "the
one I'm working on," he won't do
live TV because It s brutal
you open and close the same
night," and he's selective in the
parts he'll play.
The story s the thing. he said.
'Without it you're a dead duck."
He had no retirement plans.
(Retire? What for?") and he likes
to travel ("But I don t like to
travel just for travel's sake."
Coburn broke off his conversa
tion abruptly, finished the last of
the sherbet, and left for the set
of "The Remarkable Mr. Penny-
packer" in which he is co-starred
with Clifton Webb and Dorothy
McGuirc.
The publicity woman watched
him leave and as soon as he was
out of earshot conlidcd that be-
lore the day was over it would
be virtually impossible for Co
burn to keep his age a secret.
We re having a party on the
set for him." she said. The
press is invited."
NEW PRIVATE

LOS ANGELES (AP)
Marine Corps has a new private:
Ulysses S. Grant. He's a 19-year
old Apache Indian sworn in here
yesterday. He s from White River,
Ariz.
CHARLESTON, S. C. (AP) -
Youthful, mellow-voiced Ernest F.
Hollings, South Carolina's next
governor, carries his undefeated
political career as easily as he
does his husky 6-foot-2 frame.
The genial lawyer with the
square-jawed face has been a win
ner almost all his 36 years. He s
making a full career of public
service, a campaign point that
homed him win.
It has always been my idea
ihat a man should make friends,
not enemies," the Charleston law
yer says of his political philoso
phy. It has carried mm tar in a
hurry.
Hollins. though a strong defend
er of the state's laws guarding
traditional segregation, is a cham
pion of equal rights for Negroes.
He has voted to nave Negroes on
boards of control in his home
county.
He was the State House of Rep
resentatives floor leader in 1951 in
enacting the stale s multimillion-
dollar program to equalize Negro
schools with those of whites.
It has been a frequent habit of
South Carolinians to send their
governors self-succession is not
allowed to the U. S. Senate.
Fritz, a nickname indicative ot
his German ancestry, is definitely
a voung man on the go, with no
ceding in sight.
A poised and eloquent piatiorm
speaker, he prefers to go at it ad
lib. but can deliver a prepared
speech as though he is making it
up as he speaKS. He nas masucreu
the television art of speaking to
each viewer rather than to an un
seen audience.
Both men ar.d women find him
attractive. He knows how to lis
ten as well as talk. When he
shakes hands,- he gives the im
pression Ihat shaking your hand is
a great honor for him.
Hollings won national recogni
tion in 1954 as one of the Junior
Chamber of Commerce Young
Men of the Year. That was the
year he was elected lieutenant
governor after a sparkling six-
year career in the Stale Legisla
ture.
Hollings was graduated with
honors at The Citadel, the state
military college. He went from
college into 33 months of North
African and European Army serv
ice starting in 1942. It is charac
teristic that he never has stressed
his military -record in his political
campaigns.
He studied law at the Univer
sity of South Carolina after the
war, practiced with an uncle for
a time, then set up his own of
fice.
In 1946 he married Pat Salley
of Columbia. The two met at a col
lege dance at The Citadel years
before.
Their early marriage was
marred by tragedy when their
third child strangled to death in
a crib. At the time they had a
son, Michael, now 7, and a daugh
ter, Helen Hayne. now 5. Since
then they have had another daugh
ter, Patricia Salley, 1.
