C., under the laws of Congress, Act of March 3, 1879 Every afternoon, Monday through Friday. — A Great Loss One of the great hackneyed notions that refuses to die in the minds of many congressmen is that the State Department, and especially its Foreign Service, is popu lated with, “striped pants boys” of a breed quite apart from “red-blooded Americans.” With very rare exceptions, this has always been non sense. There was no more striking proof of its foolishness than the late John Peurifoy, Ambassador to Thailand, who has so tragically met death in an automobile accident in that country. One may fairly ask how many Foreign Service critics would be willing to strap on a pistol, as Peurifoy did, for a touchy meeting with unpredictable military leaders in volved in the Guatemalan revolt of mid-1954. Peurifoy never met a payroll, but he met and mas tered some of the toughest diplomatic situations any U. S. representative ever has encountered abroad. In the Guatemalan affair, he personally was credited with playing a large role in the overthrow of a Commu nist-backed government. The result was the stamping out of a real danger spot for freedom in the Western Hemi sphere. Earlier, he had performed yeoman service in shaky Greece, where, after the Conimunist rebels were beaten, he helped bolster a weak regime and take it more decisive ly into the Western family. His assignment to Thailand last year was at once a reward and a tribute. With the collapse of French resist ance in North Indochina, it was plain Thailand stood right in the path of a possible Red sweep through Southeast Asia. We needed an expert troubleshooter there without delay, and Peurifoy was the obvious choice. Once again, he delivered. He helped stiffen the Thais’ resolve. And only recently he was k factor in engineering a change of government beneficial to the West and the general cause of freedom in Asia. This 48-year-old career officer, once an elevator op erator and then a cigaret lighter salesman, brought a new dimension to diplomacy by Ms bluiit, open-handed treat ment of foreign figures. He won friends for America and he produced hard, practical results. Peurifoy wore no uniform. But he was in combat nevertheless. He was a resourceful and relentless fighter in the Cold War against communism in many ways the most trying ordeal in his country’s history. Hollywood Headliners By United Press By RON BURTON IT. P.

Would you like a taste?” She held out a forkful. “Ugh! No, thaaks!” I pushed it back at her. But since more and more glam our gals seem to be becoming raw meat-eaters, I questioned Miss Marshall, formerly of Minnesota and Hollywood, about “tartai steak,” as it Is politely called. "You ought to see me shopping,• she said. “I say to the butcher, ‘Would you give me a taste of that, please?’ “He says, ’A taste of what?’ “ “The meat.’ “He says You want to eat the raw meat, lady?’ “ 'That’s right!’ I say, indignant ly. Oh, the faces they make! “They try to discourage me. They say it’s not good for you. Didn’t you ever eat raw cookie dough when you were a kid? Kids love it.” As a matter of fact, I did eat raw cookie dough when I was a kid out in God’s country (Ohio!). “As far as it not being nealth.v, well ... I have three children, I’m working, I’m flying out to California next week to see my , husband and put my children m school. You sure you wouldn’t like a taste?” I was firm and asked, "What’s in it?” “Raw meat, capers, egg, anions, anchovies, and Worcestershire sauce.” ‘When a girl, eats raw; meat, does she still have admirers?” I asked her. “Certainely!” “Masculine, I mean.” “I meant masculine. I don’t know any women who have women ad mixes, do you?” quality avoids the usual jerkiness inanimate objects frequently have when put into motion.

The; yeast faintly resembles a huge kangaroo but with the jaws of au alligator. Other points of the film include a fine brawl between Madison and Eduardo Noriega in a village square of a small Mexican town, plus a stampede by 2,000 cattle through town which causes hundreds of residents to run for their lives. Purists of various ologies may be- disturbed at seeing a dinosaur existing at the- same time humans do, but the action and reproduc tion of a tyrannosaurs rex may turn them from skeptiecs to admir ers of the admitted science-fiction tale.

(IP) The New York World - Telegram and Sun said today some Southern states were laying plans to ask industrial plants damaged by floods in the Northeast to rebuild in the South rstther than on ; the former sites. The Scripps - Howard newspaper said it learned a “reverse carpet bagger” was being sent by South Carolina into storm-batered Con necticut next week to talk to man ufacturers about re-settling in the Southern state. The newspaper said its telephone survey showed “at least one South ern state”—South Carolina was “reaching out” for New England’s stricken Industries. It said it found another Geor gia—which said it would “wait 'or the dust to settle” and a third North Carolina—admitted that “lo cal citizens had keen sending out lures" to Industries in the damaged areas . The World - Telegram and Sun quoted Sloan W Gable, acting di rector of South Carolina’s State Development Board: “One of our representatives will be in Connect icut next week.” The .story continued: “This re verse carpet-bagger, Ralph M. Hor ton. will be talking to textile mak ers. steel fabricators and other In dustrialists. Mr. Oable insisted that the appointments had been set up before the flood waters came. He said Mr. Horton would not be see ing bras and copper people but ‘‘l wouldn’t want to say if he’ll talk to rubber manufacturers.’ ” The stony further quoted Gable as saying: “We wouldn’t want to take unfair advantage of the dis aster areas. South Carolina coun ties are permitted to give new in dustries five years free of property tax xcept for school taxes. The lakt session of the Legislature en_ acted a law permitting new plants to carry forward any operating los ses for their first three years to offset profits for tax purposes.” Scott Caiidler, of the Georgia Department of Commerce, was quoted: “We want the industry but we do not want profit from a dis aster.

Crane *r^teKa--s<vrm*. ■Dr. Hoke showed the ineffi ciency of our present, typewriter keyboard years ago, but inertia still keeps the ancient keyboard in vogue. Such congealed think ing cost Napoieon a chance to sink the British fleet and also crucified our own Billy Mi chell, when he championed airplanes for military use. By Dr. George W. Crane Case P-332: Dr. Roy E. Hoke, aged about 50, is one of America’s leading Applied Psychologists. He lives at Charlotte, N. C. Many years ago he analyzed the standard typewriter keyboard to see If It could be improved. And he found that the left hand, though normally weaker than the right, was nevertheless performing 47.7 per cent more work than the stronger right hand. So Dr. Hoke rearranged the key board. Fog example, he moved the vowels “a” and “e” from tht left side of the keyboard to the right side to help equalize the -load. But the inertia of custom still keeps the inefficient old-fashioned key board in vogue. INERTIA STOPS PROGRESS Applied Psychologists can excuse this lag more readily than the re fusal by auto designers to change the brake pedal. For the obsolete method of a right-footed brake pedal kills many American every year, whereas the antiquated typewriter keyboard doesn’t actually zoom our death rate. Furthermore, to re-deslgn the standard typewriter keyboard ! would necessitate re-learning how i to type by the touch system, so ■ millions of American typists would - groan at such a task. Consequently, we retain an in efficient keyboard because of social pressure. I mention this example today to show that chronic drunk arils and dope addicts are not the only victims of entrenched bad habits. Uncle Sam hignstif is ham strung by the inertia of inefficient old habits. Billy Mitchell was fi guratively crucified by the con gealed thinking of our military leaders who couldn’t realize that air power was our best defense in future wars, but who felt cavalry and foot soldiers would always be our major protection. But Naponeon made a similar mistake almost 15© years earlier. Young Robert Fulton, of America, demonstrated a submarine for Ni poleon by which the French couid have broken Britain's rule of the sea But Napoleon was a Victim of congealed military thinking. As an army man, he still thought infan. try and horses were the mainstay of military power. So he disdained to adopt Fulton’s workable submarine Disappointed at such lack of vision by Naponeon. Fulton thus gave up his Interest in submarines and returned to America to develop our first steam boat. Perhaps we can excuse Naponeon more easily than current Ameri can manufacturers, for man’s thinking was hot so shpek-proof 150 years ago. Since the advent of telephones, movies, airplanes and H-Bombs, we are now ready to accept almost any dramatic new' discovery. But‘‘manufacturers still refuse t» alopt the simple little improve ments which would make their pro ducts far more acceptable to con sumers. CONGEALED THINKING “By gum, we’ve made our pro duct like this ever since Grandpa started our company and we’re not going to change now* That attitude of Ignoring the convenience Os the customer would soon lead to rival factories, except for the fact that manufacturing is tending to be monopolistic. In a monopoly, the consumer is forced to take what is offered or else do without. Salesmen and advertisers then must reaort to exaggeration and die of premature high blood pres sure trylUg to Unload partially un suitable merchandise when a little “house sense” would solve the trou ble easily.

Called “soup on the rocks” it’s a special brand of * beef bouillon poured over ice in !to an old-fashioned glass and •looks like whisky. f Several —nondrinkers have, i gmazed and startled friends by appearing to down a half-dozen • “straighties” at parties without being affected a whit. Question has come up, however, as to whether consuming this new type beverage produces a bouil lion hangover next morning. A NEW ELEVATOR operator On Capitol Hill generously al lowed a gentleman to step aboard the other day. But not without letting the rider know what a good guy he was. “Whether you realize it or not, this elevator is reserved for senators only,” he announced ■ pompously. “But I'm going to , let you on anyway," j “Fine,” said the gentleman, j “My name is Gore, Senator Gore j of Tennessee." ! A FAMILIAR FIGURE on the ) military and embassy party cir cuit is Maj. Adam Eisenhauer, ! Chief of protocol for the Army. But he’s always being mistaken lor the President’s son, Maj. ; John Eisenhower. The inevitable happened at a recent reception given by the i Jordan ambassador, Abdul Mo (nen ftifa’i.

However, he is a fast man with a quip and gets around to a lot of parties. At a recent reception he was about to get a drink at a crowded bar when a hefty dowager rudely shouldered him out of position to get a glass of champagne. When she mumbled an apology he re plied: “Madam, there is no one I would rather have bump me out of line than you.” OUTGOING CHIEF of Naval Operations Robert Carney has now lost count of the number of farewell parties which have been thrown for him. What bothers him slightly is that he has had to buy two new white formal uniform jackets just as he leaves the top Navy job—to keep ahead of the laundry. Incidentally, he reports that what looks like a stiff, uncom fortable white band around his , neck on the uniform is actually a comfortable, cool arrange ment. The jacket serves as both shirt and coat. ALSO IN THE men’s wear de partment, Secretary of Navy Charles Thomas used to be an executive of a big clothing firm and is the snappiest dresser in town.

The record is at hand for all to read. What is strange about It" Could we conceive of an ancient potentate being concerned be cause his cup-bearer looked sad? Yet that is what actually hap pened. The King, Artaxerxe*. (Nehemlah 2) was human enough to observe the sadness of his servant, and to inquire Its cause. Tl\e cause of Nehemiah’s sad ness was a report of the desola tion in Jerusalem and the Jewish homeland. From there on it is Nehemiah’s own story, of a King, hot only concerned but sympa thetic and active, so that out of that simple incident the whole, project of the return began. | But the troubles of a long march were not all.
