This looks like another year of
Ipeace sfor Europe despite Soviet
guns bristling on the Elbe.
That, hedged by ifs and buts, is
the calculated forecast of some
men who are watchdogs of West
ern security on both sides of the
iron curtain. They include gen.
eral, an admiral and an Ambassa-
dor; an intelligence chieftain. a
political analyst and a propaganda
expert.
The odds, they say, are in favor
Iof the temporary preservation of
Ipeace.
The land defenses Of Western
Europe are transparently weak.
But the will to resist is supplant-
ing a fatalistic lassitude. The
worst danger may be over.
Thirty-three Russian divisions
are coming out of winter quarters
in East Germany for more inva-
sion training. AS usual, they are
ready to roll. On paper. military
men demonstrate convincingly
how this Soviet Army group from
its Elbe springboard can take Eu-
rope in three weeks-if Stain
wants global war and terrible
atomic retaliation.
Curious Omission
Yet in Czechoslovakia. on the
flank of the Elbe forces, no Rus
sian divisions are stationed. 1t is
curious omission. if you assume
westward attack is near at hand.
| Furthermore, the troop strength
on Russia's line of communica-
tions through Poland is static. At
most, three Soviet divisions are
identified there. Only three or
four are in Austria.
Thus far, Allied agents behind
the iron curtain report they have
been unable to find authentic evi-
dence that Russia plans the big
blowup for 1851.
| Only eight Allied divisions. plus
three unattached regimental-size
units. as yet face 33 Red divisions
inside Germany. The Vests oc-
cupation air force is outnumbered
about four to one by warplanes in
ithe East zone.
These familiar figures inspired
Ihysteria in the earlier phases of
the East-West struggle. But many
Europeans got a shot in the arm
from the establishment of Allied
unity of command-SHAPE-a
unique accomplishment in peace
time. Americas Dwight D. Eisen-
hover. winning general. inspires
confidence. His words have been
given punch by the spectacular
American arms program, publi-
cized as much by Communists
overseas as by the State Depart
menu raOlO voice.
On the diplomatic side, many
Europeans had been dubious of
the United States policy for quick
rearmament of West Germany
They claimed the Russians were
not bluffing when they implied
last winter that German remili-
tarization would be grounds to
them for a preventive war.
When the Americans tacitly
agreed with the British and
French to slow down the arma-
ment timetable for Germans,
pending a Big Four parley. there
was a definite relaxation of ten
sion on the continent.
In practical military rearrange-
ments. the Allied forces in Ger
many are making sense. Their
mission has ceased to be the po-
licing of defeated people.
Henceforth, it is to deny to Rus
sia the opportunity to seize rich
spoils intact through the Vests
default.

Some Peron Sympathizers
Some of the most conserva-
lively spoken officials now here
IN Washington feel that this
brazen act of Peron is more than
an effort to throttle freedom of
speech in the second largest and
one of the most advanced nations
on the southern continent. They
feel that it is evidence that Ar
gentlna is now in the iron-fisted
grip OF a totaliGarianism which in
the long run is just as dangerous
to the peace of the Western
Hemisphere as is Russian COM
munism.
! Unfortunately there is a strong
sympathy with the Peron action
in half dozen of the other i'm
portant countries. Several Of
them, including the Dominican
Republic, Nicaragua. Colombia
Peru and others, have been guilty
OF maintaining strong censorship
If not completely dominating the
press and otherwise throttling
freedom of speech, although they
will deny that such conditions ex-
lst, just as ardently as Peron has
dlsclaimed any intention on his
, part OF wiping out a free press.

On top of all this, although nc
: small number of them will be in
Iclined to use the so-called crisis

Iany great threat to this hemi-
sphere in the form of a general
attack on the Western World
And most of our neighbors are
hardly enthusiastic about having
anything to do with q conflict

children, no matter how sound the
family's financial status, should
have specific home duties, and
the mother who fails to assign
them is falling down badly on

DEAR MISS DIX: I am very
much in love with a fine young
man who has all the qualities
admire. He's in the Navy, and
will be meeting all types of girls
while in service. We plan to be
married in three or four years,
when he returns home. Do you
think if our love is strong we can
wait that long and still have the
same feelings about each other?
Answer-Thousands of service
men leave their sweethearts for
overseas duty and return with, if
anything, added devotion. There's
no reason to fret over the many
things that can happen during
your separation. If you truly love
each other you won't change. OF
course he'll meet many girls
around the world, and you'll meet
many boys at home, but your love
will remain with each other.

The women of the Philippines
are ready for the invader should
he come again. They're learning
jiu-jitSu.
The master art OF self defense
without weapons is one of the
popular courses in the civil de-
tense program being carried on
by the National Federation of
Women's Clubs of the Philippines,
Mrs. Paz Catolico. its pretty ex-
ecutive secretary, revealed last
week.
Already, since start of the course
IL weeks ago, Mrs. Catolico point
ed out, approximately 80 jiu-jitsu
instructors have been graduated"
and will go back to their re-
spective clubs all over the islands
to teach other aSpirantS the art.
Though the course was begun in
her abSence-She has been in this
country since her attendance as a
delegate to the Houston conven-
ton of the General Federation Of
Women'S Clubs in May - Mrs.
Catolico is largely responsible for
the initial setting up of the Phil
ippine federation's civil defense
program.
Last November, the Philippine
clubwoman pointed out, she start
ed the ball rolling with distribu-
ton Of defense preparedness
pamphlet which went to schools
and civil groups throughout the
islands.
With the women'S clubs spear
heading the movement, it didn't
take individual citizens long to
Jump on the bandwagon. Private
home owners in Manila immedi-
ately started digging their own
wells.
Our bitter experience in the
last war taught us that" Mrs.
Catolico declared, recalling the
scare rumors that followed the
Japanese air forces bombing of
CLARK Field on December 8, 1941.
1--WE were all told that the water
supply had been poisoned, she
said.
The Philippine women's fedora /
ton, which comprises 800 clubs
with more than Csc, 900 members,
was also instrumental in pro-
noting another civil defense mea-
sure. 1--WE realized the need for
protecting our food supply" Mrs.
Catolico said, $50 at the SuggeS-
ton Of the club women the Civ
ilian Emergency Administration
(of the Philippine government) |
is building warehouses in every
district"
This demonstration of leader
ship in her own country'S emer-
gency is one reason why Mrs.
Catolico has been enabled to pro-
long her stay in this country.
Two California club women,
who met the Philippine club
leader at the Houston convention
were so impressed with her story
they set up a private fund to
be administered through the Gen
eral Federation so that she could
spend several months here study
ing the latest in social welfare
and public health ideas to take
back to her Philippine federation.

DEAR DOROTHY DIX: I have
a daughter who will be IA in Au-
gust. I work nine hours a day
The only work she does is break
fast and lunch dishes which she
never puts away. She thinks ] ask
too much of her as her chums
don't do any housework. She
takes piano lessons which require
an hour of practice a day, though
she doesn't always do that much.
She doesn't even take care OF her
own personal needs, such as
teeth, underwear, etc. thint,
she is old enough to take care Of
these things, as well as keep her
room tidy. Would you help me
iron out this situation?
FRANCES.
Answer: Setting down an arbi-
trary list of duties for a 14-year-
old is not easy, but l think the
minimum requirements would be
to do. and put away, the breakfast
and lunch dishes, keep her own
room and clothing in order and
have dinner started for you in
the evening. These things should
be done cheerfully, thoroughly
and as a matter of routine; she
should not have to be reminded
OF them every morning.
AS for her personal neglect, an
appeal to her vanity should help
correct that. I know IL and 12-
year-old girls who do beautiful
jobs of hair setting and manicur-
ing; they know the Importance of
grooming even at that tender age.
Your daughter. too, should have
this impressed upon her. If she

touch with the latest trends" she
declared just before leaving a
few days ago for the next stop
on her journey west. Mrs. Catoli-
CO, who was the house guest of
Mrs. ConStante V. Batoon during
her Washington stay, said she
was particularly impressed with
the civic mindedness" Of club
women in this country.
1t is no wonder that she was
the beneficiary of the California
club women'S generosity. A quiet
friendlineSs mixed with deter
mination has won Mrs. Catolico
friends as well as funds over a
20-year period of club and volun-
teer social welfare work that
began after she graduated from
college with degree in pharmacy.
Mrs. Catolico opened up her
own drug store in the little town
Iof Tuguegarao in Cagayan Prov
ince on the northern tip of Lu-
ION. Shortly after, she was
married to a physician, and found
time not only to be wife, mother
and drug store proprietor but en-
gagged herself extensively in volun-
teer social work. When she was
president of the Tuguegarao
Woman'S Club, she sponsored the
opening of a health center for
mothers unable to afford profess
sional medical fees.
The japanese invasion Of Luzon
ended her pharmacist career. With
her husband and little girl-now
a 17-year-old sophomore at Santo
Tomas University in Manila j
Mrs. Catolico was forced to flee
to the mountains, while the Jap
anese invasion forces took over
the town and her drug store for
their headquarters. For six
months we lived in the noun
tains," she recalled sadly. I'VE
slept on the ground. waded
streams and caught malaria. Only
the amnesty declaration saved
u.s."
When the war was over Mrs.
Catolico moved to Manila. In
1946 she was appointed to her
executive secretary post.
In 1947 she went to Hawaii and
spent year there raising $4,000
among the Filipino residents there
as the start toward a fund to re- /
build the Philippine Women'sf
Federation headquarters, destroyed
BY the Japanese during the occu- ,
patton.
"It was the contributions of
clubwomen combined
with this fund, however, that
made it possible for the Philip ,
pine women to build their new
headquarters" Mrs. Catolico add
ed with a smile.
Mrs. Catolico is off again on
another Embarrassing mission. Aft
er she finishes her stay in the
United States she will stop
through Hawaii on her way home,
this time to get funds to purchase
new equipment and toys for SIS
sponsored by women'S
clubs of Manila.

be back at her federation post
some time in November. She

had told us not to say anything
about the planet Mars or the Book

I first came to understand any
thing about the Man Without
Country one day when we over
hauled dirty little schooner which
had slaves on board. An officer was
sent to take charge Of her, and,
after few minutes, he sent back
his boat to ask that someone might
be sent him who could speak Portu-
guese. But none of the officers did;
and Nolan stepped out and said he
should be glad to interpret. The
captain thanked him, fitted out an
other boat in which we both went.
WHEN we got there, it was such a
scene as you seldom see. There were
not a great many of the Negroes;
but by way of making what there

Everything about "Fabiola" is
massive in scale and the scenes
retrieved from the overlong
original film are invariably ar
resting. The best of these are
likely to be the most blood-cur-

quence. Here Ritual fights his
great gladiatorial duels, the
Christians are burned, crucified,

their slaves and their endless
