The World Today
THE BRITISH ELECTIONS

WASHINGTON Up We're
spending billions of dollars to
help defend Europe and Asia
from communist attack. What are
we doing to defend ourselves in
our own backyard Latin
America?
The diplomats and military
men who have charge of this job
say we are in pretty good shape.
better than most people realize,
but there's still lot to be done.
Traditionally defense of the
United States has been based on
the western hemisphere h e
United States, Canada and Latin
America. Since World War II,
this base has been expanded far
into Europe and Asia. but the
center still remains in this hem
isphere.
For this reason the State De-
partment and the Pentagon laid
plans early in the game to make
this hemisphere secure from out
side attack, communist coups,
. and little wars among the Latin
American countries themselves
that could upset things.
"Of course one top State De-
partment official said, There
isn't the danger of a direct COM
rnunist attack in Latin America
as there is in Europe and Asia
J The main job here is to keep
the hemisphere secure and main
tain the flow of raw materials
from Latin America that Ameri-
can defense industries vitality
need"
Among these strategic mater
ials are oil, iron, copper, lead,
manganese, bauxite. quartz crys-
tails, sugar, tin, wool, hides and
skins, and others.
The problem in Latin America
is two-fold: military, and pol
itical-economic. They work hand
in-hand.
In 1947, the Z. S. and the Latin
American countries signed q mu-
tual defense treaty whose main
feature Is this. If one Of them
is attacked BY a country outside
the hemisphere the rest will come

The New Russian Goal:
Better-Looking Neck+ies

primary Russian colors-Carmine.
Crimson, Scarlet. Maroon, and
Red.
The real problem for a Russian
artist, however, won't be one of
color. 1t will be how to design
a prize-winning necktie without
putting a portrait of Stain on it.
And I predict right now that no
Russian artist will get around
that problem.
AS q matter of fact. it should
be fairly easy right now to pre-
dict the top winning design. 1t
will have a picture of the Krem-
lin standing out against a field
of red, over the Kremlin a great
full moon will be rising. The
moon will have a moustache, and
the great slow tiger smile of
Uncle Joe himself.
This same design is sure to
turn up at least $4,000 times dur
ing the contest. All the judges
will have to do is to pick the IA
best-14, of course, that show
the full moon face of Stain as
larger than the Kremlin.
And the judges and designers
will share an unusual pride. They
will be the first tovarisches in
the history of the US.S.R. to
achieve a government goal with
out a five-year plan.
The whole project, however,
must be disheartening to the
average Russian worker. His
problem isn't what necktie to
wear. Any necktie will do SO long
as it isn't hemp. What bothers
him is how to raise the rubles to
buy a necktie at all.
And if the government announ-
ees IA new prize-winning necktie

Today's Business Mirror
BY Sam Dawson

NEW YORK tPl-The defense
program is sending more people
into homes Of wheels. Defense
workers and military men are the
biggest buyers of trailcrs now,
dealers report.
Part of this is due to housing
to go anywhere.
But the association believes
$4,000 mobile workers and their
families live in trailers. The tran
sient workers isn't new to the
American scene. Harvest hands
have followed the ripening crops
up and down the country almost
from the beginning. And indus
trial workers have moved when
jobs petered out and they heard
of work in other places.
The worker who takes his home
along with him, however, is lar
gely a postwar phenemon. The
man who lives on wheels is free
to move easily to the town where
the new defense plant goes up.
And some workers probably en-
joy the freedom to move their
homes down the highway should
they get to disliking their pres
ent boss.
Before the war the trailer was
thought of largely as a recreation
adjunct-a way to go fishing or
hunting, or to spend the winter
in the south, the summer on the
lake. In 1887 the average trailer
was IA feet long and cost less
than $500. Around 5000 were pro-
duced that year and industry
sales totals were perhaps SIT
million. Nearly $6 million worth
of these were bought by retired
families.
BY 1947 the average trailer had
grown to-~25 feet, cost around
$2,40O and $4,000 were produced.
This years production is eS
pected to be little larger than
last years $1,000 units which
were sold for S216 million. Seven
ty per cent of them are 80 feet
or longer The average ranges in
price from $1,000 to $500, al
though luxury models sell at
$4,000.
The association says that this
year % per cent of the sales are
to military men seeking to house
their families near their stations.
Around seven per cent Of sales
arctic retired persons, students
housing families near colleges
and the industry's first love, the
vacationer.
But 68 per cent of this years
sales are to workers.

New Secrets OF Rembrandt
Revealed in Restoration
By MEL sLls
AP Newsfeatures


THE HAGUE-The rest
oration of d second great
work of art by Rembrandt
Van Ryn, the ANATOMY
Lesson by Prof. Tulip" has
been completed.
The first, the restoration
Of the famous "Nightwatch'
now on view in the Amster-
dam State Museum lRijls-
museuml was completed in
1916.
At q press conference, the
director of the Hague Mu-
scum. Mauritshuis, Prof. A.
b. de Vries, and the artist
]. c. Trass, showing the
picture and photos of before
and after the restoration,
said that for Rembrandt
connoisseurs the restoration
of the Anatomy Lesson"
painted when the great ar
tist was 26, would give
plenty of material to study
the early developments of
the Dutch master.
The painting shows Prof.
TULIP, with large hat, indica-
ting to seven students the
anatomy of the left arm of
the body of a man lying on
a slab in the center of the
picture.
Significant, said Prof de
Vries, ''is that especially af-
ter the restoration the pic
ture showed more coloring
than earlier believed" He
added that on this Rem
brandt painting there were
less strong dark and light"
effects than on most other
of his works.
The Anatomy Lesson, !"
painted in Amsterdam in
1852 underwent its first res
toration more than 100
years later, in 1T35. Since
then the painting has beer
restored another five times
and put on new linen four
tirnes-a last time in 1918.
It is believed, on the bas-
is of x-ray photos that an
I'M known Dutch painter
made considerable changes
from q sturdy 18th Century
Dutchman, to a more ell
egant dashing and typical
18th Century type, by re-
touching the painting.

to the immediate aid of the one
under attack.
The area covered by this pro-
vision runs from the north to the
south pole and takes in Alaska,
Greenland and Pearl Harbor.
In case war should break out
In Europe, Asia of any other part
of the world the American ma
tions agreed to consult on what
measures they should take to
safeguard the security of the
hemisphere.
This pact served as a pattern
for the North Atlantic Treaty, of
which Canada is a member.
Additionally at a foreign min
listers conference here last April
the Latin American countries
agreed to relieve the u. S. of the
burden of defending many stra-
tegic sealanes and bases in the
hemisphere. These defense tasks
tied down around 100000 Amer
ican soldiers, sailors and airmen
in the last war.
The Tnter-American Defense
Board, in which all 81 countries
are represented, is now working
on an up-to-date hemisphere de-
Tense plan spelling out what de-
fense job each country would
carry out.
These tasks involve protection
against communist sabotage of
strategic mines and transporta-
ton lines, making air bases, main
taipg air and sea patrols, coast
guard duties and the like.
In return the u. S. is helping
the Latin Americans financially
to carry out these tasks.
The U. S. Also helped Argen-
tina, Brazil and Chile to streng-
then their navies by knocking
down the price on six surplus
cruisers. The three countries
bought two apiece. Under SINH
lar arrangements other countries
are buying some destroyer es-
corts.
Economic aid is also being in
creased i'm response TO Latin
American arguments they can de-
feat the communists at home bet
ter by relieving economic distress
than by building up their arnla-
ments.
The export-inport bank is cor
tinuing to make loans to Latin
America for economic develop
ment with emphasis now increas-
ing production of strategic ma
terials. The world bank too is
sending missions to many coun-
tries to help them plan long
range development programs and
American businessmen are inves-
tiging increasing amounts of
money In new enterprises.

Lbs Band Elects
First Officers

The London High School Band
has elected, for the first time, a
president-Don Barr-and vice
president-Paul Reynolds.
Band officers appointed by the
director, Ray Creighton, are: Paul
Reynolds, secretary; James Mar
tin, manager; Don Barr and Ro-
ger Thibaut, assistant managers;
Ralph Jones, uniform and field
manager; Mary K. Dillingham;,
librarian; Joyce Bass, assistant IL
brarian; and Barbara CLANCY,
publicity manager.
Most of the bands officers are
appointed rather than elected,
since they must be free from
classes the period before and af-
ter band rehearsals to perform
their duties.
Another first in the bands his
tory was a field trip to Ohio
State University in Columbus
Tuesday. There the bands mem
bers attended, as spectators, a
rehearsal of the Ohio State Uni
versity Marching Band. The group
got ideas for organizing their
own rehearsals lsuch as dividing
the band into small drill squads,
each one drilled by one of the
experienced band members) and
learned some tricks to add snap
to their band. A sidelight of the
trip was the unexpected appear
ance of Vic Janowicz, OSU All
American.
LHS marching band has a
total of seventy-three members
this year. This total includes fifty
five regular instrumentalists,
eight alternate instrumentalists,
and ten non-musicians (drum
major, majorettes, flag bearers,
and alternates for these positions)
Thirty-four instrumentalists are
from the high school, twenty-nine
are from the seventh and eighth
grades, and all ten non-muscians
are from the high school.
