BABY SITTERS:
Bio Business

Dig BUSINESS
The city of Milwaukee has found
that baby-sitting has become big
business. Admitting there were no
actual statistics available, Mil
waukee officials nevertheless con-
tended that safe guess would be
that baby-sitters outnumber work
ers in any other field.
BABY-SITTING literally has be-
come ''big business" with full-time
agencies providing sitters on a
daily, or part-time basis. However,
the majority Of the sitters are still
teen-agers-the girl next door who
wants to make some extra spending
money, or an older sister or brother
who may become a baby-sitter un-
der protest.
The professional baby-tenders
from "Part-Time Parents" in Mil
waukee are primarily middle-aged
widows, according to the agency
founder, Miss Dorothy Campbell.
The most important part of Miss
Campbel's service is fitting the
right sitter to the right family.
HER EMPLOYEES are carefully
screened before they are hired by
the agency. They must like children,
have an adequate knowledge Of
child care, including first aid
training, and they must have a
suitable background enabling them
to serve as part-time parents
, Women may be hired to take
children to the theatre, to party
or out to dinner Many families hire
a sitter for one, two or three days
every week, and the part-time par
ent takes over for the day.
It all sounds like good deal.
Doubtless there are many COM
munities in which a "Part-Time
Parents" organization would be
most welcome.

CHURCHMEN:
so More Seized

More churchmen in countries be-
hind the Iron curtain" were COM
ing TO know what it means to suffer
for the Cross.
Bulgarian security police had
seized approximately so more Pro-
testant clergymen.
THE LATEST ROUNDUP was dis
closed as Is other Protestants were
sentenced on charges ranging from
treason and spying for the United
States and Britain to black market
money transactions. All IS had
pleaded guilty.
BY now the pattern Of church con-
flict in Soviet-dominated countries
was becoming clear. The Russians
would not tolerate setup where the
church might act independently Of
the state.
It mattered little whether the
faith being prosecuted was Protes-
tant or Catholic-the aim was the
same, subjugate it and it's adher-
ents to the will of the state.
THE KREMLIN could not risk
men having other gods than Stain,
could not risk continuance or
spread of a thesis built upon the
dignity of the individual and his
oneness with his Creator.
The most terrible thing was that
there was nothing anyone could
do. Christian nations could not
make war on the Soviets for relig-
ious persecution, however exten-
sive such persecution might grow.
For the moment, men of good
will could only pray for divine aid.
hoping that retribution would fin
ally overtake the agency which was
subjecting Christian men to tor
ture and Imprisonment.

WITCHCRAFT:
"SDeI" Broken

In the remote fastenesses Of the
Pennsylvania mountains strange
fears and legends abound. Among
the mountain people such things
as "hexes" and spells and
witchcraft are real and fearsome
things.
And out of these regions has
drifted strange tale of eerie
graveside rituals in which a uni
form was stripped from the ex-
hurned body of soldier to break
spell'' cast over his widow.
PVT. REUBEN ROCK was a
woodsman in Greenfield township.
A veteran of the north African
campaign. he returned in 1946 tc
his home in the Allegheny noun
tains and married Rosella Dively,
then 19. The, rigors of army life had
created in Pvt. Rock a tubercular
condition that steadily sapped the
veterans strength. Rosella cared
for her husband night and day in
their unfinished home She denied
herself proper rest and nourish-
ment while carrying on her nursing
duties.
But the veteran died. Before he
died he gave his wife his army
uniform. But Rosella requested
that her husband be buried in it.
That was done, then strange things
began to happen. The young widow
became a virtual invalid, refusing
to eat or sleep. and began to waste
away.
MRS. ARTHUR DIVELY, Ros-
elias mother, was convinced Pvt.
Rock had practiced witchcraft.
Conceding he was "saved in the
end," she told of weird books and
things" he kept in the house.
''Rosella was crazy to be with
him. she said. ''She would go to
him at any time. That's probably
how he did it-by charming her
picture that he always carried with
him"
The Dively family finally con-
cluded the uniform was the an
swer. They obtained permission to
exhume the body. The grave was
opened, the uniform stripped from
Pvt. Rocks body and cast into
fire.
And there are myriad folks in the
section who are convinced that this
action "broke the SPELL" enabled
Rosella to regain her @health.

MEXICO:
Oil for U. S.

Mexico had relented, the ami
mostly of the old appropriation days
was over, and American interests
were to set up again in the oil
business ''south Of the border"
Antonio Bermudez, director of
Petroleos Mexicanos, announced
that a drilling contract had been
signed with a group of California
oil men formed by Edwin w. Pauley
and two American oil companies.
Senior Bermudez said the U. S.
groups chief job would be drilling
of wells in Tabasco and Veracruz
states.
Under terms Of the agreement,
the U. S. group will not be paid for
dry wells.
The Mexican organization would
set aside the proceeds of the sale

RICH MEN,:
One "Fed up"

II found something was wrong
with the wealthy class and I think
a whole lot of them would be better
off if they had to work."
JOSEPH E. UIHLEIN, 7S.
senior member of one of the ma
tons wealthiest brewery families
was fed up. Delivering himself of
the above statement, he went on to
say that he was resigning inlme-
diately as a director Of the Eirst
Wisconsin National Bank so no one
connected with the institution would
be embarrassed by his actions.
Uihlein's consideration of his CO.
directors was understandable. For
the former vice-president of the
vast Schlitz brewing company was
planning to devote his full time to
the unionization of white collar"
workers in the United States.
II believe five to six million can
better their lot by joining white
collar unions,' Uihlein declared.
II am not in it for any honor for
myself, but only through a desire to
help the working classes
, CONTINUING, he explained that
Il have been thinking about this for
about Is years."
Joseph and his brother Erwin
now president of Schlitz, have been
at odds recently over Joseph's sug-
gestion that the brewery establish
a million-dollar annual welfare fund
for its employees by contributing Is
cents for each barrel of beer sold.

RENT CONTROL:
Tik-Tok. .Tik-Tok

With the continuing tie-up of busi-
ness in the senate because of fill
buster on a rules procedure, con-
gress had been racing against the
clock in the matter of rent controls.
RENT CURBS were due to expire
March 81. Congressman generally
were agreed that unless they were
extended by that date, nothing more
could be done this session to save
or renew such controls.
Meanwhile, Republican sentiment
In the house was that rent controls
should be taken out of federal hands
and turned over to the respective
states. A mass meeting of COP
members Of the house overwhelm-
ingly supported the idea of ending
federal rent control.
1t was reported that Republicans
favored only a 90-day extension of
curbs and many wanted all controls
to end with the fixed expiration
date. They also took the position
that if any controls were continued,
the house first should adopt an
amendment by Democratic men,
ber Paul Brown Of Georgia pro-
viding that landlords, as far as
practicable, should be "given a
reasonable return on the fair value
Of their property under rent con-
trolls"
MANY CAPITOL observers ex-
pressed a conviction that the ap-
parent trend toward relaxation of
rent curbs was stemming from the
effective lobbying Of rental prop
erty owners and their organized
groups.
But whatever was to be done to
protect the public from gouging on
the part Of some landlords would
have to be done fast. Time was
swiftly running out.

This may not have been the
wrote it, but it remains what came
out Of her typewriter.
The plot is concerned with the
making of a movie, the desperate
practical jokes directors play on
producers, the delays in produc-
ton caused by temperamental
f1are-ups. and enough other in
side stuff that should frighten
even a drunken playboy out of
lending taxi fare to the biggest
studio in Hollywood.
Slightly French" is extrava-
gantly subversive and If Holly
wood ever wants to prove 1t is
cured, it will have to keep a
sharper eye on such things.
The comedy directed by Doug
las Sirk is the descendant of doz-
ems of similar items from the rich
old days when Hollywood could
take a reckless attitude toward its
reputation.
Its heroine, Miss Lamour, is a
carnival dancer and singer. She
Is a contented girl living on the
bottom Of show business until she
comes within the vision Of
Ameche, the great director and
one of the industry's madmen.
Naturally, he is not called mad
man. but rather a genius. What
ever he is, he hires Miss Lamour
out Of her tent to replace a great
French dancer-actress who has
collapsed under the strain of
working for him.
A man who could detect talent
under these circumstances could
also read the Burma Shave signs
on Highway 40 in the rearview
mirror Of a Jet plane, but Ameche
does 1t.
Moreover, If the fellow in "Pyg-
malion" could make a lady out
of Eliza Doolittle, what is to keep
Ameche from making Miss La
mour into a pretty imitation of
Sarah Bernhardt? Actually, there
are a lot of things, but the story
does not recognize them. It just
sends Miss Lamour and Ameche
home to his big palace in Holly
wood where they 60 through
weeks of polishing until she is
remodeled from Mary OLeary
into Rochelle Olivia.
Once he has reworked her into
the shape of cultured Parisienne,
Ameche is required to palm Miss
Lamour off on his studio execu-
tives for what she is not.
1t turns out that he knows
these higher-ups pretty well, for
not only do they never detect the
great fake, but the key man in
the studio is 50 taken in by the
girl that he falls in love with
her. This handsome dope. played
by Willard Parker, not only wants
Miss Lamour as an exclusive con-
tract actress but Is even more
anxious to take her home with
him under the label Mrs.
Naturally, 1t ends up that he
does nothing of the kind for, as
in "Pygmalion, the girl can never
be happy with any man except the
one who made her a lady.

Miss Lamour's talent for sing
ing is not entirely ignored In
Slightly French" Since she is
better at this than at acting.
Columbia's picture opens up here
and there to permit her . couple
of ballads dealing with love. These
are not notably memorable compo-
sitions, as some Of her others have

few Gallo touches which show
she has listened to Marlene Die
