Ourselves
-by Philip n. Love-

I'm next-to-t -the-worst singer in
the world Il refrain from nam
ing the worst. in Difference to an
old and dear friend. but every
time I hear somebody like Bing
Crosby, I get to thinking that
maybe I'm not so bad, after all.
This is not because my voice COM
pares favorably with Bing's but
because he makes singing seem
50 effortless. Sometimes, I can't
even talk as easily as he sings.
Driving home from a movie in
which Bang sing-Bing sang, that
isl began to hum one of his
songs. 1t sounded so good that,
after = while. I tried the words.
I thought they made a pretty
nice sound, too.
Then I lost my head completely
and. forgetting that I was on
Connecticut avenue. tried to give
the song some real oomph, Just
as Bing had done.
At the moment I happened to
be waiting for the traffic light at
Albemarle street to change. AS
I finished one line with what I
thought to be rather a flourish
and took a deep breath in prep
aration for the next, I heard q
girlish giggle. then a boyish laugh.
A young couple In the car next
to mine was looking at me. The
girl giggled again. and I heard
her say: He must think he can
sing"
He can" her companion
answered. still laughing. The
silly feeling left me. and I started
to give with the next line. But
the boy added: Like Andy
Devine."
Just then. the light changed.
I hung back to drop behind the
other car and turned off at the
next street. The rest of the way
home. I didn't even hum.
More recently. Gladys Swart-
hout's singing with the National
Symphony Orchestra at the
Water Gate had a similar effect on
me. Miss Swarthout doesn't sing
so effortlessly as Bing, but I love
to hear her. and this particular
night she was wonderful.
All the way home I kept sing
ing the first few lines of Bali
Hal" and Some Enchanted
Evening" which she had bor-
rowed from South Pacific" All
I ever learn of a new song is the
first line or two. so my singing
tends, I confess. to become
slightly repetitious.
Anyway. as 1 waited for the
same light at the same corner of
Connecticut avenue and Abe
marie street to change. I was hav-
ing another go at "BaH-H'ai." A
boy who appeared to be about II

A Mythical Tale

So long ago that intervening
years can scarce be counted. the
air was filled with the music of
happy-voiced children. laughing
at their games. Fair maidens
sang all day and the young men
excelled in sports.
Summer ruled the universe
The trees were always green: the
birds trilled and the sky was as
clear and blue as the quiet waite,
Of the Lake of Beauty. where
dwelt Azora. goddess Of the sum.
mer and beauty.
Crops grew without being plant
ed. The joyous people had but
to gather the food OF their choice
when they wished.
In a small city there dwelt q
beautiful maid. Janice. She was
dissatisfied despite the great
number of good fortunes con-
tinually bestowed upon her.
She complained because she
must harvest her share of food
The food grew without her aid
Why should she have to har-
vest 1t?
The germ Of dissatisfaction was
easily spread. Every one became
guilty of this menace to hap
piness. The children no longer
laughed at their play, but pouted
and brightness on every side
seemed to fade. The maidens, no
longer content with singing. scold-
ed and became cross. The men
snarled ut each other.
The once gay and carefree world
was burdened with gloomy peo-
pie. continually finding fault

Viewing the turmoil the world
was in, Azora determined to pun

Soon the earth was covered with
something never seen before

people huddled together in groups
to keep warm, beseeching Azors
to have mercy on them and allow
the sun to melt the ice anc

Azora then appeared on eartf
In a binding flash of lightning
and spoke in . voice Of thunder
Long have I given you all that
mortals might DESIRE" she said
save only immortality. Yet you
are ever discontented. Now shall
my judgment be descended upon
you. Hear me!
Each year you shall have sum-
mer for part Of the time. then
shall come storms and snow. Cold
winds shall blow and all plants
shall perish from the earth save
the trees.
Summer will follow close on
his icy heels. bringing the warm
breezes again. Thus only will you
remember your goddess and never
again be ungrateful. I have

The repentant people protested.
saying they would surely not for
get. But Azora was true to her
words and to this day the year
is divided. Half the time the
sun shines, the children laugh
and play. and every one is happy.
Then comes the winter, crushing
the plants and the peoples hearts
with his icy, cold fingers. Then
mothers gather their children to
their sides and repeat this tale

Disarmament Hinges
On Atom, Truman Says

President Truman today told
his news conference there could
be no talk of world disarmament
untfl an agreement was reached
in the United Nations on control
Of atomic energy.
Russian opposition has blocked
such plan.
The Presidents statement was
made at a news conference when
a reporter asked for his view on
the appeal of Senator Vandenberg.
Republican, of Michigan that the
President lead new crusade"
for peace when the Atlantic pact
is signed.
Mr.. Truman responded that he
had been crusading for peace
ever since April IL, 1945-the day
he took office-and that he in
tended to continue on this tack.
He added that if the reporter
would read messages he had sent
to Congress and speeches he had
made, it would be clear that the
keynote was always the hope for
world peace, and he added that he
expects eventually to see this
brought about.
1t was when a reporter said that
he thought Senator Vandenberg
was emphasizing the idea of dis
armament that the President said
the impasse on the atom bomb
was blocking that development.
