The Man Who Came to Dinner
★ WASH!NOTCH COLUMN »
Courage Teaches Lesson.
It ousrht to have ended differently.
Capt. Kurt Carlsen should Have made port
with his ship. But he didn’t, and there’s
no help for it. The odds against him were
just too great.
Yet it really doesn’t matter. For the
atorv of Captain Carlsen was written be*
fore the Flying Enterprise was swallowed
up by the sea. It was a tale of elemental
courage that won the world’s heart from
the beginning.
What made him do it? What led this
man to stay with his ship when the criti-
cal moment of choice came?
Devotion to duty. yes. Tradition of
the sea, no doubt. But these things were
not all. A mart often can conceive his
duty in different ways. Carlsen could
have told himself with ample reason that
he had done all to be expected of him
when he had removed crew and passen-
gers safely and determined that his ves-
sel’s chances of survival were slim.
And, though romantic sea lore tells of
the captain going down with )iis ship, the
modern tradition of the sea demands no
such sacrifice. Nor does it command the
taking of risks as grave as Carlsen took.
The captain, safe at last, will be tell-
ing the world these next few weeks what
his experience was like. He has tried to
explain why he stuck with his ship. He
said he (lid so because he decided the ship
could be saved. That’s a practical sea-
man’s reason, but there’s a good chance he
himself mav not understand exactly why
he did it.
A man is never really sure how he will
act when he faces a given crisis. If any-
one had asked the captain a year ago
what he’d do if his ship cracked and roll-
ed over in a gale, he might or might not
have declared he’d try to stay on board as
long as any hope existed.
The choice was one he could not make
until the moment arrived. When it came,
all his experience and all his character
were brought to bear on the decision. At
such times men frequently rise to heights
they never imagined they could reach,
driven perhaps by some inner force they
themselves understand vaguely, if at all.
To say this is not to lesson om» iota the
quality of their response. On the con-
trary, it Is to place upon it the supreme
value that can be assigned to human be-
havior.
Captain Carlsen met his moment with
greatness. He did what he had to do, to
be true not only to his men, his ship, his
duty and the tradition of the sea, but
above all to himself. Whether he outdid
himself or merely fulfilled himself, pos-
sibly only the captain can ever tell.
What difference does it make? The
skipper’s great moment was a great mo-
ment for the world, too. It was a lesson
in courage, a demonstration of man pit-
ting his last ounce of strength against an
overwhelming foe, commanding his heart
and nerve and muscle to hold out amid an
angry sea.
The Flying Enterprise went down. But
Kurt Carlsen’s brave final hours of stew-
ardship were not in vain. They taught
us all what it is to be a man.

TPHE White House may have one ace in the hole for use in case Con-
gressionol criticism of the Truman administration continues hot and
heavy. This is in the file of lettm written by members of Congress
to the RFC.
The White House has never made any of these letters public, nor has
any use been made of the file beyond the announcement that the mFq
had been asked to turn over copies of alt correspondence from JBi-
gressmen.
Only a few people have made a detailed study of the letters. But the
word that leaked out is that they contain plenty of examples of undue
Congressional influence, such as Alabama Representative Frank Boy-
kin’s to get government favors for constituents. 1
rjR. YOU CHAN YANG, the Boston-educated Korean'ambassador to
Washington, has just returned from the Orient with a story which
he says illustrates the spirit of his people.
In the war-blasted capital of Seoul. Korea, now reduced to a third
of its former population, two lost children were encountered among
60,000 or more orphans whose parents had been killed in the last year
and a Hal/.
Poking around the ruins was an eight-year-old girl. On her back
was strapped a four-year-old boy. A policeman asked her if the boy
was her brother. She said no.
She explained that her parents, her brothers and sisters had alt been
killed by the bomb that destroyed their home. She herself.was outside
at the time and so was saved.
In the neighborhood panic and flight, that followed she was separated
from everyone she knew. But when the raid was over she found the
tour-year-old boy following her and crying.
He said he had lost his father and mother and had no place to go. So
the girl put boy on her back and for several weeks had been able
to find enough to keep them both alive. Today they are in an orphan-
age.
“Our people £ave suffered the loss of almost everything they own,”
says the ambassador, “but they have not lost their grip on themselves
and I don’t think they ever will.
DOTH Republican and Democratic opponents of the campaign to make
Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower president in 1952 have been digging
into his past speeches, reports, and his book to see what they could
find to use against him. u
One morsel they plan to use U a. quote from Eisenhower's speech at
Galveston, two years ago: ' Uf
"If nil Americans want is security, they can go to prison. Tmrre
they can have enough to eat, a bed and a roof over their heads.” .
Mine. Munthe de Morgenstierno, wife of the
Norwegian Ambassador, dean of the Diplomatic
Corps, in a recent interview, said the successful
hostess is one who plans a party well aheud of
time, relaxes and enjoys her guests. She added
that getting the right people together, flower ar-
rangements, the right frock and good food are
equally important
General Eise'nhower is a man who likes his vit-
tels. Solid, simple, tasty, nothing too fancy. He’s
an expert himself in the kitchen. Potato salad,
for instance, is one of his favorite dishes, accord-
ing to a friend .who recently visited him in Eu-
rope.
“Potato Salada Eisenhower’’ is made by cut-
ting potatoes into small cubes, throwing in gener-
ous portions of diced celery, adding garlic powder
and hard boiled eggs and smothering the whole
business in mayonnaise and letting it stand at least
24 hours.
Once in a while, the General and Mrs. Eisen-
hower make a flying visit to their old Washington
friend and hostess, Mrs. Perle Mesta, the Minister
to Luxembourg. Mrs. Mesta whips up batches of
the General’s favorite cookies, just us she does for
the soldiers who are her guests at the American
legation in Luxembourg each week.

The pleasant young ballerina
you will see in the musical revue
hit., “Two On the Aisle”, is Kath-
ryn Lee. She replaced the French
Colette Marchand in a leading
role, which is about as high an hon-
or as a 20-year-old dancer could
achieve on these shores.
Miss Lee is from Ft. Worth, Tex-
as, and this isn’t the first time she
has won attention on Broadway.
When she was 17 she was prima
ballerina at Radio City Music
Hall in Chopin’s “White Ballet”
which is the equivalent of a young
singer winning a leading role in
Metropolitan Opera.
I think that Miss Lee has had
the most varied career that any
youngster could have since she
came onto Broadway. She is in
n Broadway musical revue hit at
the moment. She has done ballet
in Radio City and in Leonide
Massine’s “Ballet Russe”. And she
has appeared with Olsen and John-
son in their “Laughing Room
Only.”
Miss Lee also has the question-
able distinction of having made a
hit in the only thing that could he
called a Rodgers and Hammerstein
flop. In their musical “Allegro”
she won high plaudits from the
; critics in the Wash Day Ballet.
“Allegro” was not a hit as a show,
Shut it certainly set Miss Lee up on
a high fence for praise and her
: ballet.

Yep. When he was about to get
