HENRY FORD II tells the Ameri-
can Newspaper Publishers as-
sociation in New York that
times arc good and will stay
so as "long as we keep our
nerves steady and our spirits
high ” The Ford president also
said he was not afraid of the

Cutting The Waistline
If you are overweight, under some circumstances it is
better to remain so. says Dr. Norman Jolliffe, director of the
Bureau of Nutrition of New York City’s Health Department.
If vou weigh 10 or 15 pounds more than you should, don
go on a diet withot the doctor’s advice and unless you plan
10 'if^ou do get rid of the unwanted pounds, don’t say to
yourself 'That's fine! Now I can eat what I want.” The iap-
id gain ’of weight after a diet may bring on a heart attack,
caied by a deposit of fat in the inner wall of the arteries
A person should not decide these matters for himself
but consult his physician. It will do no harm, however, t
know the perils that may come from reducing withput com-
petent direction.

CHAPTER TWENTY-FIVE
ONE week left In April; May,
June. Jujy . . .
"Hello!" called Kay Ireland,
coming along Delimit nim ami
catching up. ' Isn’t the spring sun-
light lovely?”
"Hello," said Eric. And, "Yes,
it is a fine day." His tone neld
the surprise ot sudden awareness.
She siiook nei nead at nim in-
dulgently. "Lost in your inner
world! Conventiaily oblivious; You
are the type-cast college profes-
sor, after all.”
"Oh, now." He grinned. “1 don't
wear glasses, and my tweeds are
good, ana l do a very carefree
samba. Once in a while 1 even
teei almost numan!”
"You re remarkably alive-look-
ing, tot a faculty member,” sue
agreed, solemnly, and they were
both taken Dy a spasm uf merri-
ment.
Finally, "Were those thoughts I
barged in on worth more than a
penny? Or are they incommunic-
able at any price?” Kay asked
him.
"1 was thinking about Maggie—
and my dook —and convocation."
“Why. it's today — the univer-
sity's 100th birthday, isn't it?”
She naa tallen into step beside
him, sum ui a tweed skirt and a
leather Deli and a yellow cash-
ir»ere cardigan. “And it is your
bjg day."
He opened his mouth to tell her
how ne naa spent nail the night;
to ouriesque it lor tier. Then, ab-
ruptly. ne cnanged hi* mind. Mag-
gie first; oetore it lost the keen
edge ot comedy. He said, "What
brought you to the park today?”
"What takes everyone outdoors
m Apirl ?” she countered. “I began
thinking about the tarm i grew up
on. Did you know that Jarvis and
1 were gofcg to Duy a farm when
the war wis over?”
Eric was'* incredulous. "For
Petes sake, l can't imagine mm
in overalls striding across pastures
and mending fences and milking
cows.”
Her smile was sad. “He often
talked to me about his friends
nerc. You, among Jiem. He said
ne never could picture you push-
ing chalk across a blackboard and
correcting tnemes and passing
sugar and cream at the dean's
teas all your life.” The small,
naunling smile came again. "You
never can tell about people, can
you? What they are really like
inside, wnat they are thinking."
•‘No, vou never can." he agreed.
“And the funny thing is. That's
wnat / really counts—what’s in
side.” . j
They Walked on in i compan
ionable silence: at the path's end
they stopped, stood a moment fac-
ing each other. Kay salti, “You

Communist Party has called him a right wing deviator and
i preacher of anti-Marxist ideas. He had advocated the pol-
Cy of more production of consumer goods that had been set
,y Georgi Malenkov before his fortunes waned in Russia
The fact that Nafy has fallen in Hungary is more than
n echo of what happened in the Soviet shake-up^ however,
le is also blamed forr the drop in industrial production in
is country, the same sort of charge that was made against
falenkov. This is evidence that something is radically' wiong
rtth the system of production in all Communist countries.
Whatever is wrong cannot be mended simply by p acmg
lame and changing leaders.
The fact Is that Communism, as practiced In Russia and
he countries under its influence, has failed misearably in
verything except the setting up of a tyranny that rivals any
a history. It was a precept of Marx that the capitalist coun-
ries had in their own nature the seeds of their own destruc-
ion. His theory seems far more applicable to the lands
rhich purport to follow his doctrines.
Losing Basic Rights
■‘The rights and interests of an individual must be weigh-
id against the security of 160,000,000 people.”
This doctrine was laid down by Assistant Attorney-Gen-
:ral 'William F. Tomkins, testifying before a Senate sub-com-
ittee on security regulations. His remark applied to the pvo-
isal to allow accused government workers to confront those
io have made charges against them. He said that FBI de-
eded on anonymous witnesses. If their names were given
it, they would no longer furnish inforation, and our se-
irity would be endangered.
Even if this is true, the doctrine is dangerous. Ours has
en a system that stresses the rights of the individual,
.ough againt an all-powerful government. If our depart-
ed heads are allowed to rely on secret testimony, uncheck-
1 by cross-examination, they will operate unrestrained, ex-
pt by their own consciences. The rule advocated by Tom-
ns would give unscrupulous officials a free hand in conduct
ward subordinates, who might not only deprive these of
leir offices but ruin their repuations for life.
The old rule was, ‘‘It is better that a hundred guilty men
cape than that one innocent man should be convicted.”
ae rule laid down by Tomkins would establish precisely the
tposlte practice.
}ld Civil War
A much needed phrase has been coined by Gen. Telford
tylor, who was chief counsel at the Nuremberg prosecution
the Nazi war criminals. In his new book, “Grand Inquest,
ae Story of Congressional Investigations,” he uses the term
old eivii war’* for the bitter struggle waged by the forces
ao accuse all their opponents of subversion.
That is not loo strong a designation for the hostility of
e ultra-conservative for those more liberal. This hostility
ten takes the form of trying to get them dismissed from
ielr posts, or at the very least make them objects of dislike
nong their neighbors.
The cold civil war shows signs of dying down, but it stil

"1 naven’t forgotten . . . It’s al-
most lunch time. Can 1 drive you
home?”
As naturally as the offer was
made she accepted it, and they
crossed ovei io Eric s car. He put
her in, walked around and got be-
hind the wheel. She nad the radio
turned on oetore ne started the
motor. "Do you mind?" rne asked,
lifting her face to nun. She went
on fiddling with the dials.
Eric reachea over. "You’d bet-
ter tune in tne local station. All
you'll get anywhere ‘else is noise.
This set Is old and temperamen-
tal. Maggie jiggles wires and
tmngs. Dut 1 just tune in the local
station."
She sat back. “1 try not to
listen, i try not to go near a
radio—since the news started com-
ing through from Freedom vUlage
and Banmimjom. But it draws me.
1 nad to get out ot the house this
morning, l couldn't bear watching
Mothet Ireland glued to her radio
with such an alight look on her
face.”
Waiting; waiting for her son’s
name to he listed among the war
prisoners treed trom behind Com-
munist stockacfes. What was the
source ot so protound and positive
a taith? Intuition? A spiritual in-
sight stronger than logic, making
illogical the official pronounce-
ment ot Jarvis Ireland's death?
Kay said, “1 am afraid to be-
lieve and I'm afraid not to be
heve. i neard someone say that
about God, once. ... I nave told
myseli over and over that she is
—til. That she is in the grip of
an obsession. But if that were
true she would be pitible, wouldn't
she? And she is not. Far from it.
I can't imagine anyone lew in
need ot pity than Mother Ireland.
She turned ner face to him, her
lips tremulous. “If she knows ne
is alive—if some knowledge, hang-
ing suspended, nas swept ovei her
—wny hasn't it touched me? Why
don't 1 know, too?”
••I don t know, Kay."
Then, untorec as table as always,
„ special oulletin came through.
After dozens of similar ones, each
a cleavage m a passage of music,
the introductory words were form-
ulizeo and familiar. We interrupt
this program ot recorded music to

Beside him. Kay s drooping body
went tense. Erie pulled over to the
curb and stopped the car.
She looked at him, tormentedly.
••I nave to listen.”
••Yes,” ne said.
Ordinarily, said the announcer,
the names' ot Allied prisoners
freec in the Korean war's prison-
er exch age would be held pending
notification ot next-of-kln. Mak-
ing the names immediately avail-
able, however, was felt to be a
vital service to tne public. The
men whose names ne would read
in a moment were a? the Evacua-
tion nospitai in Seoul, and would
be flown to a military nospitai
for treatment at Kure, Japan.
"There are," ne said, "17 men."
He began to read.
Eric was never quite sure
whether or not some Inner enlignt-
inent appraised mm beforehand
that ne would near the name ot
Lieut. Jarvis Ireland. Hearing it,
he was not surprised. It was as if
a tanned-out prescience nad pin-
pointed; tnough whatever he had
ot rationalism, whatever under-
standing ne nad ot life was lost
in a spiral ot mystery and unbe-
lief and awe . .. and then he knew,
and pure joy swelled up through
him. More lor the girl beside him
than for himself.
“Kay," ne said. Softly. And
again, "Kay."
With a little gasp she straight-
ened and turned her tace to him,
her eyes searching his beseech-
ingly.
Yes, yes, yes," he said to her.
He took her icy fingers and held
them. “1 heard It, too. We both
heard it.”
The long breath she drew
in shuddered through her. "We
couldn’t — both hear something
that was not there to hear, could
we?"
“No."
“But . . . casualty lists aren't
wrong. They’re never wrong!”
She couldn’t believe it yet.
"The casualty list must have
been wrong." Enc said. And think-
ing it through tor Kay, reasoning
it through step by step, he saw
what could have happened. “Jarvis
should nave been listed as missing
in a. Ion, not dead. HU plane
could have been (ut. Hs could have
c: -*i-landed in enemy territory.
Working his way back tr fus base,
he could have been captured, sent
to a prison camp . . . HU Identity
lost in a welter of recorda"
“Yes. Yes . . . Take me home,
Eric, please,” Kay whispered.
He threaded through the down-
town traffic, watchful ot the girl
beside him. Her feet were braced
but it didn't etop ner body from
trembllrg. No wonder, with a tre-
mendous thing like this happening
to ner. He had thought at first
that she might faint, or cry, but he
knew now that ehe ww Idn't. A
red light held him up at an inter*
section. He gUneed at Kay, then
with a tender hand he turned her
face to h»s nad kissed her. "Things
will be better for you bow. Won't
they, Kay?"
She did not answer. Hs didn't
expect her to. Ones out of traffic
and in the residential district he
drove swiftly to the Irelands’ big
old house.

-\TEW YORK—Things one New Yorker thinks
1M about: Well, you learn something new every
day, don’t you? I had breakfast this morning
* with Shirley Yamaguchi, the Japanese Betty
Grable, who's Just finished the film, House of Bqm-
boo, and she informed me politely there isn't any
IIP Japanese colony or community in New York. One
just assumes there's a colony for each race or na-(
tion here, such as Yorkville for the Germans.!
Chinatown for the Chinese, Little Italy for the
Italians, etc.
"I came here first In 1950,’* Shirley said, “and
stayed at the Plaza hotel. Very afraid to go oij|,
in street, because I speak no English then ana
there no Japanese around to help out.” She grinned.
“I much calmer now. I go everywhere. I real New
Yorker. I go last week one night to Central Plaza
saloon downtown to hear Jazz concert.” Frown,
“They are crazy, are they not?”
I smiled. “Oh, you mean crazy, man, crazy," I
said. “They certainly are that.** She shook her head. “No,” she said
seriously, ‘tnot crazy, man, crazy. Just crazy.”

MAILBAG: From actress Barbara Bel Geddes; “I don't suppose
you give a-, and it certainly doesn’t matter a-, but Maggie

FromJguitarist Ned Barthlow in Miami: “It makes me mad to hear
some outfits that are making money with recordings and radio, when
I know and you know they fcouldn’t be called musicians.”
From publicity curator Bljl Bridges of the Bronz zoo: “I hate to
sound stufTy, but I think you made a good psychological point in your
column on the zoo train. It points up what we're apt to forget as w#
crow older—that we carry with us what we expect to find.”
From Alvin Barker, the Cincinnati greeting card man: “Did you
know that Anna Jarvis, who started Mother's Day, abhorred the idea
of commercializing the occasion and once got an injunction to prevent
a parade being held In New York City in behalf of the day ?
THE TOWN had a rush-hour test of its air-ratd sirens the other
day *(and found 33 defective). I suspect darkly that New Yorkers are
wearying of these occasional practice runs and more than a few will
shrug it off if the sirens ever cut loose for^the real thing.
MISS FRANCOISE SAGAN, the 20-year-old French girl who wrote
the best-seller Bonjour Tristcsse, flew into town from Paris the other
day “New York is a wonderful city—the kind you want to possess, to
own ” Hie said breathlessly. Swifty O'Brien, the bon vivant and demon
tout! was around, asking me if I thought he could peddle her the
Brooklyn bridge for a starter.
