Leap Year, a Time When Many Men Will
Be Tricked Into Marring Young Women
Oil, Gas, and Coal National Labor Board Rules On
Have New Rival
NEW YORK AP — This is
Leap Year, and millions of coy
and militant maidens are sea
rching for a successful way to
win a husband.
Lady, do you really aspire to
lead a man to the altar in 1960?
To do it you don’t need to pour
him a voodoo love potion or re
sort to strange feminine wiles.
All you need to land a guy—
some guy anyway—is to learn
fo’.ir words. These are the
words: “Make him feel import-
ait.”
T’lat is the greatest secret of
successful courtship which, as
has br*3n wisely pointed out,
consists of a man chasing a wo
man until she catches him.
But hundreds of thousands of
m^rriag’-'.iungry girls will miss
t'le mark. No wedding bells will
ring for them. And why? Be
cause they will use the wrong
technique. They will scare the
poor fish away.
Most will do it by making
one of two errors: either they
will put thcimselves too muc’i
on a pedestal or they will be
come too overbearing and pos
sessive.
The too—coy girl is the chi-
ra—do!l type. From birth her
rr'O’nmy and daddy have treated
her as something soecial and
precious. She grows up believ
ing this herself—all girls do to

Import Quotas On
All Fiber Textiles
Are Urged
WASHINGTON W — Import
quotas on all cotton, woolen,
worsted and man-made fiber
textiles have been urged by a
Commerce Department adviso
ry ccmmittee.
The ccmmittee’s recomenda-
jection of a proposal by Hong
Kong textile interests for a vol
untary curb on sending five
categories of cotton textiles to
this country. In effect it said a
m o re restrictive limitation
should be sought.
The Hong Kong proposal
would use the record shipments
of 1959 as a base for futher
increases of 15 per cent in 1960
and 10 per cent in each of the
next two years.
The committee’s recommend
ations, made Tuesday, are not
binding on Secretary of Com
merce Frederick Mueller.
Asst. Sectary Henry Kearns
had told Hong Kong and Ja
panese textile producers that
unless they place voluntary con
trols on their textile exports to
the United States, the U.S. in
dustry would urge Congress to
impose quotas.
Japan has abided by this
warning but Hong Kong pro
ducers have been harder to con
vince.
a considerable extent—and in
stead of becoming a real flesh—
and—blood woman she winds
up a kind of fragile Dresden
figurine.
No ordinary man is quite
good enough for her. She
thinks of herself as a kind of
Cinderella.
There aren’t enough ready—
mad"? princes, or romantic
young millionaires, to go a—
round. And those that are a—
round aren’t looking for a girl
for a wife. At 40, this kind of
dame is still wistfully pounding
a typewriter, g03s home at
night to a eat for company and
is bitterly convinced all men
are bums.
The second type—the dom-
ina-t girl—frightens potential
husbands away by turning on
her feminine power too soon.
She starts bossing her b?au
rig’H away. She brags she can
twist her daddy around her
little finger, and makes cute
remarks such as, “You men—
you never grow up. You’re
suc’i little boys. You all have
to be mothered.”

'’0* just a male acessory to
her ego.
Girl Falls in Love
With School Teacher
JERSEY CITY, N. J. m —
\ 17-year-old school girl says
■iroblems with her algebra led
to a love affair with her math
teacher.
The girl testified Tuesday she
H".;} gn^e to Dr. Basil Warner,
2, in 1956 when she was 14 for
aid in his math course at Dickin
son High School.
She said he told her to meet
him after class in the sports
functions room. Instead of al
gebra, she said, Warner dis
cussed war experiencea “and
how lonely a man can get.”
Later she said Warner took
her to his apartment. In Jan
uary 1957, she said they became
intimate and had relations often,
several times in the second floor
parlor of the historic Bergen
Reformed Church.
Warner is on trial before Hud
son County Judge Paul J. Duffy
on 15 charges involving sex rela
tions with a minor. The case re
sumes today before a jury of
eight men and six women.
Obvious Leader
Would Help Alot
DURHAM AP — British Labor
r eader Hugh Gaitskill said here
Tuesday night he thinks it is a
'Iraw'oack that the U. S. political
party which happens to be out of
control of the government does
not have “an obvious leader.”
For example, he said, he does
n’t think most Democrats current
ly know whether the national
head of their party is ex-Presi-
dent Truman, “Stevenson, Lyndon
Johnson or someone else.”
The stiuation is different in
Britain where the opposition par
ty at any time has “a continuous
leadership and continuous policy,”
Gaitskill said. In this respect, he
contended, the British political
system is superior to that in
America.
Gaitskill, head of the Labor Par
ty in his country, spoke at Duke
University—the first of three talss
he will deliver at U. S. colleges.
NEW YORK AP — The New
Year will see new zip in the
rivalry over heating American
homes.
Electric utilities-long a step
child in the home heating fam-
ily-are driving hard now to get
a bigger share of the market.
Today, about half a million
homes are heated electrically.
The industry’s goal is two mil
lion homes within eight years
or less.
Oil, gas and coal—old-time
rivals—cach are trying hard to
increase their sales to home
owners. Gas now leads, with
oil s3cond and coal trailing
after years of having had the
ma’'kct to itself.
It’s a big market. Americans
are spending between five and
six billion dollars this winter
to heat 46 million homes. In the
nort '.crn half of the nation the
average bill is estimated at
$-25.
The National Fueloil Council
says oil heats 17 million homes,
mostiy in the North; gas 20 mil
lion, largely in the South and
West near the source of natural
gas supplies; and hard and soft
coa' seven million.
The Gas Appliance Manufac
turers Assn. says that counting
both C2ntral and direct heating,
gas is used in 39 million homes.
All four—gas, oil, coal and
electricity—stress new equip
ment and methods that make
them more economical and of-
ficient.
Edisen Electric Institute
feels that the interest in elec
tric space heating has grown
o'; 0.' the use of household
a^p.iances. It says consumer
demand spurred utilities to
offer lower rates for heating
omes and manufacturers to
come out with new devices.
New equipment research has
been pushed by General Elec
tric, Wcsting'-ouse, Edwin Wie-
gand, Hotpoint, Borg-Warner,
Carrier, McGraw Edison and
others.
Cost of electricity has been a
c!,ief factor in holding this
form of heating back in most
areas. But E. O. George, vice
president of Detroit Edison,
says another has been the need
for qua'ity construction in
home«. To be economical, elec
tric heating systems require
effective insulation, tight struc-
tur3 and attention to details.
He adds that architects and
bri dr rs now are cooperating.
Georgs cites these figures:
for a 2D by 30 bunga'ow with
ba'sement in an area where elec
tricity costs 2 cents per kilowatt
hour, the heating bill might be
$480 a year wit’iout insulation.
I'ineral wool insulation in the
ceiling would cut this to $280
a year. Add insulation under
the floor and in the walls and
tho cost comes dnwn to $180.
With storm windows also it
could drop to $136, according
to his figuring.

Berlin Is Facing A
Anti-Semitism Wave
BERLIN, GTI — First evidences
in East Germany of the current
worldwide wave of anti-Semi-
tism were reported today. Mex
ico and Canada’s West Coast
also reported their first outcrop
pings of the hate campaign, and
the daubing of swastikas and
arti-Jewish slogans continued in
other countries.
“Potsdam Jewish country
tradesman” was painted during
the foundation of the Franklin
D. Roosevelt monument over
looking the harbor of Oslo, Nor
way.
Religious and government
leaders kept up a chorus of con
demnation.
Police officials, particularly in
West Germany and West Berlin,
carried on diligent investigations
to determine what was behind
the outbursts of hate-mongering
that began with the smearing of
a new synagogue in Cologne
Christmas Eve.

Humphery Suffering
From Complacency
WASHINGTON AP — The
ro"”try, says Minnesota’s Sen.
H- bert Humphrey, is suffering
from complacency and has been
ever sinctj 1953 when President
Eisenhow'.r took office.
Humnhrey, who wants to
move into the W' it'' House on
the Der-ocratic ticket, says the
next president “is going to in
herit a series of problems that
have be^n swept under the rug-
where t'ley have been festering
and intensifying.”
If Humnhrey is rig’it—that
the country has been compla
cent fo.' almost seven years—
who is responsib'e: The Eisen-
how°r administration or the
. people?
The two Arthur Schlesingers,
father and son and both pro
fessors of American history,
h’ve written that history moves
in cycles: that a period of in
tense feeling and activity or
crisis is always follow'd by one
of calm while new forces and
and frustrations and demands
build un. Under this pressure,
the ca’^n eventually yields to a
period of new and progressive
action.
Aftor the fierce activity of
World War I and President
Wilson’s stnigg’e for the Lea
gue of Nations, the country
seemed deliberately to want
peace and quiet. It elected War
ren G. Harding and then Calvin
Coo’idge.
For most of the 1921s there
was quiet, and increasing pro
sperity. This could be called a
complacent period, too. It came
to a shocking end with the
crash of 1929 and the depress-
ioni which called for action.
Franklin D. Rooseivelt pro
mised action. The nation turned
to him and the rapid remedies
of the New Deal. But there was
to be no calm. Hitler created
crises. The nation kept Roose
velt, in 1936 and again in 1940,
a" the war fear spread.
Then war. The nation still
kept Roosevelt in 1944. When
’■'> died President Truman car
ried on through the wa”’s end
and into the turbulent late
1940s when there was no real
quiet at home or abroad.
I At home Democrats and Rep
ublicans fought like cats and
dogs. Abroad the Soviets piled
up crises. The people kept Tru
man in 1948. Then came McCar-
t' yism and Korea, both of
which began in 1950.
By the time Eisenhower ran
for office in 1952 the country,
torn down the middle by Mc-
Carthyism and anxious for an
end to the killing in Korea,
was saturated with conflict and
crises which extended unbrok-
enly back to 1929.
came in West Berlin newspap
ers. The paper BZ said Com
munist police found a swastika
and the now-familiar words
“Juden Raus”.
BZ said someone who said he
represented the neo-Nazi “Na
tional Youth of Germany” had
telephoned, demanding that the
paper stop printing items about
neo-Nazi organizations or “there
will be consequences you will
not be able to overlook.” The
West Berhn police said Tuesday
steps were being taken to ban
the National Youth group as
well as the League of Nation
alist Students.
Despite Milliken’s hopes the
union would drop the case, TW-
UA announced its intention of
challenging Buchanan’s ruling,
which is subject to approval by
the full board.
A sokesman said the union
will file exceptions to Buchanan’s
report.
John Edelman, Washington
representative of tthe union, said
approximately 500 textUe work
ers wili lose close to two million
dollars if the board upholds Buc
hanan's recommendations. The
work-srs lost their jobs when
the Darlingl::n mill closed late
in 1956 after employes voted for
-■epresentation by the union.
Buchanan said the employes
are not entitled to pay. But the
union maintains they’re entitled
to full pay from the Deering-Mil-
liken chain, which the union in
sists was the controlling parent
company of the Darlington
concern.
Milliken has contended that the
union’s efforts to link Deering-
Milliken with “the totally inde-
pend” Darliigtva Manufactur
ing Co. was harassment.
Buc^iartan ruled that neither
the Deering-Milliken chain nor
Milliken himself, as president,
was respon'ible for unfair labor
practices he had fourd the Dar
lington company guilty of in 1957.
Complaint Made on
Contaminated Food
HOLLYWOOD, AP — Recent
ly in Tobago, West Indies, the
location company of “Swiss
Family Robinson” was com
plaining about the food.
All except Sessue Hayakawa,
who ate his meals in blissful
silence. Back in Hollywood the
actor explained how he could en
dure the poor food.
“I was concerned for the other
people in the company, but not
for myself,” he said. “Nothing
bothers me. Absolutely nothing.
That is part of being a Zen Bud
dhist.”
Not even a bad golf game both
ers the veteran Jaoanese star—
“Because if I get angry, my
game gets worse,” His religion
has been getting much notice re
cently because it has been em
braced by members of the beat
generation.
Hayakawa, who often speaks
at his temple in New York, said
he welcomed the beatniks,
though he cautioned about Zen
becoming a fad.
“It is a way of life,” he said.
“I think that any religion, whe
ther it be Zen Buddhism, Christ
ianity or whatever, is good for
people.”
Now past 70, Hayakawa is a
handsome, vital testimonial to
his faith. He leads a busy life,
traveling to acting jobs in all
parts of the world and to his
four homes on three continents.
Home No. 1 and 2 are in Tok
yo. One is an American-style
bungalow with central heating.
That’s his winter house. The oth
er is a larger Japanese home
where he lives when the weath
er warms up.
His other homes are in New
York and Paris. He spent 15
years in Paris, including the war
period. Except for so-called pro
gress, he would still have a home
in Hollywood, too. He built a
house here in 1916, only to have
it torn down a few years ago be
cause of a freeway.
Hayakawa has seen a great
deal of change in Hollywood,
some good, some bad. He arriv
ed in 1912.
His training-he made as many
as eight features in a year-should
help him in his next enterprise.
He is planning to shoot 39 TV
films in Tokyo for the American
market. Hayakawa will play a
police inspector, a sort of Joe
Friday of the Rising Sun.
