There is no proof that Don

he has to exercise his thinking

to develop charm. And most in

I like to believe.

makes quite a fuss about her
known devotion to her own five
year-old daughter Irish" - as
if it were unusual for a mother to
be attached to an only child. More
impressive is her work on behalf of
Greek war orphans. She pioneered
in it, and persisted long after the
gratifying publicity disappeared.
Orphan Bubbled Over
Even here, however, she was
hardly slushy. Recently she met
one of the orphans who had been
brought to this country "a girl
of 13. 1t was not an emotional
scene. To be sure, the little girl
was hardly the woebegone type
expected. Rather she bubbled over
with chatter and nonsense. Miss
Sothern, who is kind, but a dis
ciplinarian, raised her eyebrows.

rapher, this child is quite an

dominated by cheerful, bustling,
positive women. The mother,
Annette Yde-Lake, was a rather
well-known concert singer. The
father, Walter J. Lake, was a
Minnesota businessman. Their
three children are all girls -
Bonnie, Marian and Harriette.
Harriette is Ann Sothern.
There was also a grandma living
with them "a pert little lady

tongue, who firted with the young

years. Miss Sothen takes after
her grandma in appearance and
pertness.
All the Lakes are musical, and
it is pleasant occasion when the
sisters get together and sing for
company. But Bonnie and Marian
gave up potential careers when
they got married. Harriette per-
sisted in her career through two
marriages - neither of them sue
cessful (Actors Roger Pryor and
Robert Sterling). She is frankly
chagrined over their failure,
for she has a genuine hanker-
ing for domesticity.
If Miss Sothern has a sharp
tongue, it is not a malicious one.
She reserves it for people who are
silly. Strangers who stop her with
the coy approach: I'm sure you
don't remember me, but -" get
cut short with: You're right,

Two Pictures Coming Up
ALL this is probably part of her
rebellion against softhearted
Maisie. 1t is hardly the way to
cultivate fans, but oddly enough
it has never jeopardized her popu-
larity with movie-goers nor her
position with the studio. She has
two pictures coming up this
spring: Nancy Goes to Rio" and
Shadow on the Wall"
Nevertheless, she can't get rid
of Maisie - neither the public nor
the studio will permit it. Although
she may rebel against this "other

THREE YEARS, SIX MONTHS

It. was on Jan. G. 1947 that President Truman first officially called for legislative action to let the displaced of the war come to the United Staes. Three years and six months later Congress finally has an- swered that call with something like reasonable bill
 There was an intervening bill along the way, the Revercomb bill that preended to open the doors here for 25OOO0 of the displaced. But that was cruelty tragic law so bounded by religious prejudice as to be a repudation of American traditions. Under it only few more than 15OOO0 homeless able to find a refuge here.
 Now the new bill extends welcome only slightly grudging to full 340000 of the displaced (incuding Catholic provisions of the Revercomb bill It simpfies some administrative procedures straightens out some tangled lines of responsibility.
 It is not a mraculously good bill, but then neither is it bad one Had it been passed three years ago. this nation might have been reason ably proud of it. But three years is long time In three years thousands of the displaced could die in the cheerless camps of Europe-and thousands did. In three years thousands could lose the very will to live and thousands did In three years much of the prestige that America enjoyed among the dis placed can be frittered away-and much of it has been.
 At it closes this chapter of American history on the writing of the D. P. bill make no one very happy about the nations conduct.

The Age of Fear

However. in this year 1850, half way through this modern and am azing century, we are in real danger of b. gging down in an "age of fear"
 Faced with the awful knowledge that others have the atomic bomb, faced with the fear of the hydro gen bomb, of meteorological war fare. of new trans-oceanic submar- ines and transatlantic rockets, we are in definite danger of relapsing into an age of fear, an age when we do not go forward because we are paralyzed with fright.
 The symtoms of fear have been all too apparent in recent months almost ever since President Truman announced that Russia had the atomic bomb. It is a wellknown medical fact that fear causes par alysis and lack of decision. When injected into the human body it causes nausea and poison. h. jected into the body polite, it has the same effect.
 Perhaps that is why we have been so busy looking under State De- partment beds and worrying about five-year-old mistakes that we fail to lock ahead to prevent the mis- takes of tEe future.
 Washington and Jefferson had a lot more excuse to succumb to fear than We. They were operating 13 weak and struggling colonies. sur rounded by big and avaricious mon- archies But they were so busy pioneering, so busy pushing on to new frontiers, that they didn't have time 0 be afraid
 Yet we, the most powerful nation in the world. are so busy concen- trating on armed defense that either we don't have time, or are too paralyzed with fear to take the offensive.

MOOSE TAKE. EXTRA INNING
 AFFAIR 1oT06

The first extra-inning game of the season in the Gastineau Channel League saw the Moose and the Elks enter the ninth inning tied at six all, the Moose score four runs in the 10th, the Elks fail to reach first in the 10th, four homers by one team in one game and a grand total ot five homers by both teams in one game. All in all, those foresighted enough to go out saw one of the best baseball games of the season and one of the best in years.
 McCagg of the Moose hit a pair of homers to go into the league lead in that department with a season total of four. His first came with Shepard on in the first inning to give the Moose an early lead not challenged until the third inning when the Elks pushed home Hazlett and Smithberg to tie up the game at two-all, where it remained until the seventh when McCagg hit his second homer with Sanford on to give the Moose a four to two lead. In the seventh W erner hit his homer with no one on to make it five to two. In the bottom half of the inning Snow hit his second homer of the season, with two men on to tie up the game at five-all
 In the ninth Shepard hit his homer with the bases empty for the Moose and the Elks scored Kris tan to tie the score again 'at six-all. In the 10th the Moose scored Phelps. Miller, Rolison and Holloway for the final score of 10-6.
 The game saw a new high in hits for the season with 28 men reaching first via the hit route Shepard yielded 10 hits with four walks and Smithberg gave up Is hits and three walks. Shepard struck out five and Smithberg eight

 With the marathon season still a week away from the halfway point. Pacific Coast League clubs were taking their usual day of rest to- day, and nobody could use it more than MT. Robert Muncrief and the Los Angeles Angels.
 As if things weren't bad enough already for the Angels. Muncrief became the central figure in an umpirical episode at Oakland yes terday in which he baked twice with the same man on third base and lost himself ball game thereby.
 On the first balk, the umpires talked it over, decided that to give Oakland a run would only cause ill feelings all around. They called George Metkovich back from the bench to start the play all over.
 On the next pitch. Metkovich broke for the plate and was tagged out clean. But Umpire Pat Orr called another balk on Muncrief and this time he made it stick. It was Oakland's third run of the inning.
 Result: the Acorns won to 5, swept the doubleheader by taking the first game, II to l, won SIX games in the series of seven and gained notch on the pace setting Hollywood Stars.
 It was the only sweep of the Sun day program All the other com batants divided their twin bil.s

EXPLOITING THE RED FEAR

vivid illustration of the abuse which can be made of the anti-Red drive occurred before a committee of the Louisiana legislature last week, says the St. Louis Star-Times. The commitlee had called before it David Stern, publisher of the New Orleans Item, to whether he should be punished for contempt because of editorial critical of the members of the legislature Authority for the threat was found in a drastic -beforeused section of the state constitution
 The senators were questioning MT Stern and his editor, Clayton Frtchie, concerning who re- sponsble for the offending editorial Both assumed responsibility. Both stood their grounds the free dom of the press. Senator c. E. Barnham of Ruston,

Age of Hope

So perhaps what the world needs today are some new objectives, new goals, and new hope Perhaps what we need to do is take the great goals which Washington, Jeff ferson, Lincolns and Roosevelt set for us, and extend them beyond our own borders.
 We have done pretty good job of fulfilling those goals in this country, but we have rested on our oars of late in extending their creed to others.
 Perhaps we need a new formula a new means of extending the ideals of Washington, Jefferson and Lincoln to the rest of the world, new vehicle for selling hope.
 I am not sure what that vehicle is. But I do know that we must offer ourselves and the rest Of the world something more than arms and the inevitable war that comes from sole reliance on arms.
 The First World War gave Rus sia to the Communists. The Second War gave Russia half the world. The Third World War, if it comes, would leave a chaos in which Con- munism would thrive everywhere.
 So let's get away from this age of fear and it's sole reliance on armed forces. And in subsequent columns I should like to discuss how we can get back to an age of courage, faith and hope.

 One trouble with us-and our allies-is that our arms program leaves no alternative but war. Ade- quate arms are necessary. But piling arms on top of more arms, with no other objective or alter native in sight. makes people lose hope. They know this leads to war
 Thus, long before war comes, they are paralyzed with discouragment and fear.

Ideas, Not Bullets

The Communists today are not fighting with bodies or bullets, but with ideas and mems minds. Bod ies and bullets, artillery and air planes are expensive. Ideas are cheap; though f takes ingenuity, perseverance and courage to use them.
 We have sent billions in arms, food and material to Europe and the Orient; but we have not ac- companied them with ideas. Tn most cases we have not even stamped them with a mark to let it he known they came from the Am rican people Sometimes we have stamped them with the ini- tiais "UNNRA" or "JRC," but few people know what those initials mean.
