 We suspect the judges in the Film Academy Awards had unusual difficulty this year in making their dec sions Despite the formidable amount of junk" that still comes out of Hollywood, there encouraging increase in the number of good pictures Whether this is the result of the economy measures which the film manufacturers forced to adopt the result of competition television and other forms of entertainment, is anyones guess
 In any case the quality of Hollywood product has improved during the last twelvemonth. Without hav- ing any figures we surmise that many of the really good films made just as much money as the turkeys.

Forget His Friend

There was only one sour note when freshman Sen. Herbert Len man Of New York took the floor to eulogize the late Franklin D. Roosevelt on the fifth annivers- ary Of his death. Ironically, the sour note was struck by a Demo- crat who rode FDR's coattails to keep his seat in the Senate.
 Republicans who were in the misunderstanding Langer Of North Dakota, Hendrickson of New Jersey. Gordon of Oregon, Schoe- rrel and Darby of Kansas-re- mained respectfully in their seats as Lehman t3an his memorial speech.
 So did the Democrats, even crochety Kenneth Mcclellan of Ten nessee, who fought FDR furiously on most issues.
 The only man who walked out, rather than listen to few kind words spoken for the man who once saved him from defeat, was Elmer Thomas of Oklahoma.
 In 1888 when Thomas faced a desperate election battle .n the Democratic primary, Franklin Roo- sevelt detoured his train through Oklahoma in answer to frantic pleas from Thomas, let the wor- ried Senator stand beside him on the back platform, and even made a statement about the fine work of my friend" Elmer.
 But when this same Presidents death was memorialized in the Senate last week, his friend" FL mer walked out.

words were ". I'm as well in- formed as any other reader of the New York Times :" So Wal drop said: Can you tell us about Hiss?"
 Mae Craig, of the Portland Press tried to get word in to ask how many front organi- zations Miss Kenyon belonged to. Senator Mccarthy had said 28; Miss Kenyon said four or five. So at the soiree of the Red Baiters, we tried to figure it out. We got to a figure of 31. Maybe that was high, but we had been eating Dr. Matthew's curry.
 While all this was going on, Mae Craig started this colloqy:
 Craig: Well, when you found that your name was being used without your permission, or after you had withdrawn did you take any legal means to stop it? You're lawyer so I presume
 Kenyon: Oh yes, yes

A meeting of the Ancient Order of Red-Baiters gathered in the home of Dr. J. B. Matthews for three purposes: l. To eat his wonderful curry which he learned to cook in Java, while he was translating hymns into Malaga; 2. To celebrate the publication of Seeds of Treason" by De Tole- dano and Lasky; and 3 to listen, on the raido, to Meet the Press" :"
 When it came time to listen to Meet the Press" we foregathered about the radio, with daggers up our sleeves, to await Miss Dorothy Kenyon, who reminds one of El- eanor Roosevelt before her voice was cured of its falsetto.
 The first voice after the inter- locutor, to come over was that of an honored member of the Ancient Order of Red -Baiters, Frank Wal drop of the Washington Times Herald And his first question was sharply pointed he asked:
 Judge Kenyon, do. you know one Alger Hiss?"
 That did it. They all got into the situation and literally tore her apart, for the lady admitted that she only knew what appeared in the New York Times. Her exact

 Sponsors of legislation providing for new two-and- a-half and coins now undergoing scrutiny in Congress will have hard job proving that the public will welcome any such tinkerng with our traditional system of coins.
 Undoubtedly it would be handy for owners of coin- operated soft drink machines, chewing gum machines and the like to have which would close to covering the cost of their product plus reasonable profit Many of them say nickel doesn't do it, and dime is too much
 But flood of two- and half and seven-and-a- half-cent coins would compcate matters for others with cash registers, to say nothing of minds, atuned to coins representing whole numbers not fractions
 As Mrs. Nellie Tayoe Ross Director of the Mint, pointed out, there's need for such mongre coins right There is need, however, for system of government financing and sound economies which would do way with the dime that now is worth five prewar cents and give the country good, five-cent nickel.

edge of the Iron Curtain.
 Wisely, the Legionnaires followed the old adage, "the gift without the giver is bare" took the trouble to send a delegation to Europe to deliver the message behind the toys. In country after country, they held ceremonies, telling how American children wanted to share their toys with their less fortun- ate neighbors.
 The reception was so appreciated that Pennsylvania Commander Walter Alessandroni, who led the Legion delegation to Europe, wrote this inspiring letter:
 What impressed me was that the reactions of these children, whether English, French, German, Italian, Austrian CT Scotch, were just the same. No matter what their native origin, they were just children, and you really couldn't tell what country they came from
 S"This being true, it becomes dif- ficult to understand why these children when they reach man. hood, grow up to be different grow up to participate in their countries wars.
 If these children are the same when they are children, and only become different as they reach maturity, the indictment for this change falls upon us We have seen a world with war and unrZt taking place somewhere in that world during every year of rec orded history. America as the No. nation of the world bears tremendous responsibility in help ing these thousands of youngsters, who today are no different from CUTS, to grow up in some measure like our own.
 Adults since the beginning of time have been shockingly un- successful in finding the key to peace in the world Perhaps this has been true because it was meant that children should be the ones to find that key lol mankind. Perhaps it is because we have failed to heed the admonition and a little child shall lead them.'"

Kenyon: Well, when I decided that I no longer wanted to be associated with those organizations, no longer wanted to be a sponsor, I told them so. I told them that was withdrawing.
 Craig: But, that didn't quite answer the question, did you do or take legal means to prevent it?
 One of the newspapermen on this quiz show is Larry Spivak, who can be a bad egg when he wants to. At any rate, on this particular occasion he asked some of the very worst questions which could be asked of a lady lawyer. I thought Larry was very unkind because he stripped the lady of the last vestige of a excuse. Look at this question by Larry Spivak:
 Miss Kenyon, in your testimony before the Senate you said, and I quote: T challenge and defy anyone to prove that I ever joined or sponsored or continued to iden- tify myself with any organization or individuals I knew or had req son to believe were subversive." :" Now the out word there was I knew, That's out, but shouldn't you have known -S 1t enough for someone like you sim ply to say I didn't know the gun was loaded"
 The lady could not answer. She swirled and fished and wove, but she could not answer. She got all excited and wanted to slap Frank Waldror. But Mae Craig brought her up to October, 1949; that is, long after the Cold War started.
 Then Miss Kenyon faced Spivak again, which should not happen to an artful dodger. Read this:
 "Spivak: Well, no, you said that you knew about them, that you didn't join them carelessly, that you knew all about them when you joined.
 Kenyon: That's right. That's right. The ones that I did join and I'm telling you that there were only four or five of those, and that those were all in the early 1930's.
 Spivak: Well, how did your name get on so many letterheads? I have photostats of more than half a dozen of them?
 Kenyon: Welt wish, wish you could tell me, I'd like to know, MT. Spivak, I'd be very happy to know.
 Spivak: Well mine didn't get on any list, why did yours?"

Easter Vacation

 This still leaves the Presidents Controversial Health Insurance Program, the Military Aid Program, and Federal Aid to Education. The President also promised state hood to Hawaii and Alaska, but the hearings haven't even started in the Senate.
 Congress must also decide wheth- CT to continue rent controls and renew the draft, to say nothing of revising the tax structure ana abolishing the excise taxes. An ether tough one is the Presidents Point 4 Program to give technical assistance to backward areas.
 The. blunt truth is Congress has a great deal to do, and little time to do it in. Meanwhile, the House, taking a leaf from the Presidents Key West book, took a leisurely Easter vacation, while both Houses took time to push two bills, aid ing the natural gas companies and the big monopolies.

Vista Sanatorium where a fire
killed 10 patients March 29.

verdict yesterday after hearing
these disclosures:
-Four Of the 10 who died were
strapped to beds, powerless to
save themselves. Fifteen of the
80 patients who survived also were
strapped to beds.
Further Inquiry Urged.
Doctors signed restraint" orders
giving a nurse authority to decide
when some patients were to be
tied down.
A previously convicted firebug,
who set the blaze. had keys to the
rooms and closet, handled
matches and was allowed to 60
home week ends.
1t took f1remen 20 to Is minutes
TO chop their way through mesh
barred windows to reach patients
trapped in four small cubicles.
Besides finding negligence" the
inquest jury urged further in
vestigation of the disaster in
Springfield Township and recon-
mended that the arsonist, Nicholas
A. Verna, 26. be committed to an
asylum.
Sent to State Hospital.
Earlier in the day, Verna, who
admitted setting the fire, was sent
to the Farview State Hospital for
the criminally insane by Judge
Harold G.. Knight.
Mrs. Laura Oliver, chief nurse
at Belle Vista. was the principal
nurse called before the inquest
jury by Coroner w. j. Rushong.
