Cinderella dressed for the ball and
later get key to her so she can
get out of her room and try on

The frightening touches, about
which some parents have COM
planned in Disney films in the
past, are missing or thoroughly
toned down in Cinderella. Gin
derella's stepmother and her two
daughters are a nasty lot, to be
sure, and the things they visit
upon Cinderella surely shouldn't
happen to such a sweet and lovely
girl. But their antics don't seem
to be the stuff of which night
mares are made. The other vii
lain, the cat, is a sharp -clawed
menace, all right, but a fat and
comic one whose meanness' is no
match for these alert and re-
tsourceful mice of Cinderella's.

The accent, in fact, is on the
comic all the way through Gin

humor revolving about the mice

in which the irate king takes
after his lord chamberlain with
a mammoth sword, which turns
into wildly funny slapstick
ballet.
There are touches all through

these passages are some fun had

Meanwhile New York, the great
city and State which the rest of
the country censures far more
often than it pities. is teaching
its misbehaving politicians dras-
tic lesson. Various great men
may not be beaten by those they
deem inferior, after all, but they
are plenty worried.
In the city the great coup that
was to have brought out a vote
so sweeping that any slate named
by Democrats was safe home has
backflred. Vincent Impellitteri,
the independent candidate for
mayor. has captured the imagina-
ton Of the voters. the contest is
therefore in doubt, and Tammany
has the jitters.
Even Lehman Concerned.
Furthermore the idea Of bullet
voting" for him and him alone
on the voting machine has gained
such currency that even Senator
Lehman can't be too serene.
Private polls show the Senator
with an incredible go to 70 per
cent of the city vote but wide
spread single-shotting is always
a menace to a party.

Of moral indignation, upstate New

he does, he is in danger.

The painters were there, and un-
less you have tried to get painters
in New York you can't know how
lucky we were.
The head painter (the one who
is shopping for the blunderbuss as
II write this) asked Jean what
colors she wanted in the various
rooms.
He produced a color chart that
had on it all the colors known to
man and a few that aren't.
She started off very brisk and
businesslike, as women always do
when they're selecting colors of
paint. She told him. right off the
bat, what she wanted for the liv-
ing room. A soft green, mossy
sort of green. Something, she
said, that will go with the drapes
we're having sent up from Florida,
just as if the painter had visited
us for months and knew all about
our drapes.

He started showing her greens.
Dozens of green's. She didn't like
a single one of them. Finally he
said. That's all the greens have.
That is all the greens paint COM
panies make"
So she suggested he start mix
ing new greens.
He mixed for about an hour be-
fore Jean exclaimed, That's the
one I want. That's the exact
shade"
With sigh that rocked the
building. he said, Mrs. McLemore,
that's the second green I showed
you"
And to prove it, he got out his
sample chart and showed it to
her. 1t was a moss green. The

situation, but if you have you'll
understand what prompted me to
yell, Paint the whole darn thing
coal black and let's get out and

Wish I hadn't said that to the
painter.
It caused Jeanie to turn on me
and whisper one of those whis-
pers that remove half of the ear
lobe.
This is going to be your home,
and if you don't care enough
about it to see that we get what
we want, then I don't care either"

So now the Richardson board,
with the assistance of the Justice
Department, must force them to
register. That means preparing
cases against all the individuals,
giving them hearings before the
board and then taking them to
court. There is no way of know
ing how long it will take these
Communists to exhaust their
rights in the courts. Some lawyers
say one year, some say three or
four. And there are plenty Of
lawyers disposed to bet that when
the final stage is reached and the
law itself is put on trial before
the United States Supreme Court,
1t will be thrown out as unconsti-
tutional.
All of this was becoming pretty
clear before the Congress, over
come by its biennial election
jitters, finally passed the law. 1t
is reasonable to expect that many
of the Senators and Representa-
tives will have recovered their
better judgment and their cour-
age by the time they return for
the remaining weeks of this Con-
gress; enough of them, perhaps,
to make sensible action possible.
Confession of error should not be
too difficult. considering how many
of them are in the same boat.
In addition to the registration
feature of the law there is another
that has upset the calculations
of the authors. This is the pro-
vision barring the admission of
any aliens who have ever belonged
to a totalitarian party. The re-
suit could be to close the gates
against men and women who.
when too young to know any
better, were members of the baby
brigades in the Hitler Youth
Movement. However, the Attorney
General says that, regardless of
the language of the statute, he
won't interpret it that way.
But, and worst still, from the
standpoint Of one of the authors,
Senator McCarran's Falangist
friends in Franco Spain have to
be told they are not acceptable.

He is accused of playing up to
Mr.. Impellitteri in the hope of
sharing the city vote. But he
cannot do much of that without
getting cut elsewhere because Re-
publicans have a candidate for
mayor, too, Edward Corsi Mr..
Corsi is man of good repute and
many friends; while he is apt to
run poor third this year, he
cannot be snubbed with impunity.
The Democratic candidate for
governor, Representative Walter
Lynch, has not climbed any Hi
malayas in his effort to unseat
Gov. Dewey but he has fought
him hard, which is more than re-
cent Democratic aspirants have
done. If it were not for the Impel-
litteri bullet voting, Democrats
would be warm on his chances.
Patterns Are Fixed.
New York political patterns are
rather firmly fixed. Conservative
ly, Tammany has a backlog of
million votes; its mayoralty can
didate, Justice Ferdinand Pecora,
is widely known and respected
and besides he has the Liberal
party designation. He will soon
be SO. however. as compared to
MIR. Impelliteri's photogenic SO. In
Senator Lehman, the party offers
one of its truly distinguished pub
lie servants and he has made q
good campaign.
Similarly. Gov. Dewey may be
in deep but he cannot be easily
drowned. 1t. Gov. Hanley's de-
scription of how Gov. Dewey and
his friends forced that aged man

of the "brave and undefeatable

fact that without Americas inter-
vention China now would be a
vast japanese province is over
looked conveniently by Moscow's
Charlie McCarthys. p
The top Moscow puppet, Mao

ber 20, informed the Red Ko-
reans that the Chinese people,

ton. are coming to their rescue

All these Spontaneous patri-
otic manifestations" may be only
the result of the imaginative Com
munist propagandists. But they
are important because they re-
feet the minds of the handful Of
men-the Peiping Politburo-Who
today rule the $50 million Chinese.
And by connecting the speeches
and activities of the Communist
propaganda laboratories with the
definite fact that Chinese troops
are fighting in Korea we are
forced to the conclusion that we
now are faced with the definite
prospect of having to fight a Chi
nese Communist army in Korea.
The question asked here is what
will the Security Council do if Gen.
Macarthur presents concrete proof
of Chinese Intervention against
the U. NJ? Some members, such
as the Russians and Indians. will
find in this presentation another
reason for accepting Red China
into the U. N. and with the argu-
ment that otherwise there is no
way to discipline it's government.
This is. Of course. erroneous
thinking.
Russia will not repeat it's mis-
take of last summer and be alb
sent from the Council when its
Far Eastern puppet is in danger.
The Indian representative may go
so far as to offer the good Offices
of the New Delhi government and
make representations in Peiping.
The result unquestionably will be
the same as the Indian interven-
tion in the invasion Of Tibet.
One fact is definite, however.
as far as the U. N. command in
Korea is concerned. We are fac
ing winter campaign against a
still undetermined number of Chi
nese Red troops who have waited
until now to engage the Ameri-
can and other Allied forces. An
earlier intervention might have
been disastrous for the Reds.

peratures the advantage is on the

On the Record
Democracies Aren't Geared to Fight
Perpetual Economic Cold War

In wars of predictable outcome
and limited duration austerity is
largely induced by patriotism
People engaged in one gigantic ef-
fort, on which the survival of the
Nation depends, accept controls in
the knowledge that they will end
when the war ends. They police
each other with the indignant &C.
cusation. Don't you know there's
war on?" But it is a war of direct
engagement with the main enemy
which will foreseeably end in a
somewhat predictable length of
time.
To gear a free people to a sue
ceSsion Of indecisive struggles is
a more formidable problem. No
one will produce without being
paid. and all wars give both labor
and capital increased bargaining
powers. But the recipients become
unable to translate wages or
profits into what they want. The
worker, able at last to buy a home,
finds himself unable to do so. or
his demands bid up prices toward
an initiation which wipes out the
wage gains.
Eventually. therefore, he must
be limited to consuming only what
the State permits. And if this
process promises to be of unlim-
tied duration, unrest results.
necessitating ever greater police
measures.
Austerity Is Problem.
So far no free people have been
persuaded to accept under-con-
sumption (austerity) as a con-
comitant to full employment at
high wages prosperity in a
situation which is neither peace
nor all-out war. Great Britain
is no exception. British austerity
has been confined to the rich and
the middle classes, who could be
pressured by patriotism, fear, and
government controls-by a gov
ernment not depending on their
votes. Organized labor and farm
ers. however, on whose votes the
labor government Qike the Tru-
man Government) depends, have
pressured the government-not
the other way around-and their
spending and demands for serv-
ices have steadily kept pace with
their prosperity. There is no rea-
son to think it will be otherwise
here. But the end of this is
economic anarchy, or ever-greater
police measures.
Free societies are superior TO
slave states in limited, all-out eff
forts promising positive decisions
within reasonable time.
But only totalitarian police
states are geared to perpetual war,
of secondary struggles, indeh-
nitely prolonged, and promising
Ino decisive outcome in foreseeable
