German Orphan Girl Is New
Film Star, Has Cinderella
Past After Her Discovery
By DANIEL DE LUCE

FRANKFURT, Germany R - A
little occupation waif is Germany's
newest film star.
Even before her first picture
was released, 5a-year-old Elfie
Fiegert had won millions of Ger
man fans.
Elfie is Cinderella who was
born with three strikes on her, The
touching story of her life - from
orphanage to movie studio is
known now TO all newspaper read
ers in this country. Her face,
brown and sweet as. chocolate,
graceS the covers of national
magazines.
Thanks to Elites natural charm,
few German postwar films had so
much advance attention as '.Toxi, "
which features her in the, title role.
Back in 1947, Elfie was given to
charity home for children in Ba-
Varia by her young, unwed moth
er, who was unable to support her.
The father had been a US Negro
soldier.
Half white and half black, half
German and half American, Elfie
was wholly lovable. A German ref
ugee couple who had lost their
daughter through illness after flee
ing from Silesia in wartime visited
the orphanage in ls49. There were
many all-white children, but they
picked Elfie for adoption.
Last May, Elites foster father
noticed an advertisement inviting
mulatto children to try out for a
screen part. Elfie was introduced
TO director Robert A. Stemmle,
who decided she was just right for
"Toxi."
Stemmle, who has directed or
written 66 screen plays in a long
career, taught Elfie not TO notice
the camera, kept her in bubbling
good humor and drew out her ma
tive talent for mimicry.
II wasn't work for Elfie. She
thought it was a game.
The plot of "Toxi" revolves
around a forsaken mulatto child
in occupied Germany, who comes
to the attention of q well-to-do
German family. Most of its mem.
bers want to help care for her,
but a snobbish son-in-law objects.
In a tense and fearful sequence.
when he nearly loses Toxi for good
in the asphalt jungles OF 3 city, he
realizes she has won a place in
his heart.
There is happy ending when
the waits father comes back from
the United States and lovingly
claims her. American Negro box.

Chinese Make
New Bid For
World Support
BY FRED HAMPsoN

HONG KONG tR - Chang Kai-
shek has made a strong bid for
the organized economic and moral
support of IL million Chinese
living in foreign lands.
Until last month it was felt that
this powerful segment Of expatri-
ates, influential beyond their num-
bers in The Philippines, Indochina,
Indonesia, Malaga, Burma, Thai
land and elsewhere had merely
turned their backs on communism,
They had not swung to the Nation
aliSt cause.
Now it looks as though they
might be veering Chiang's way.
During most of October some
257 delegates representing Chinese
around the globe met in Taipeh,
Formosa, for what was called the
Chinese Overseas Affairs Confer
ence.
Chang called for economic
blockade of the Reds and a sweep
ing boycott of Chinese who deal
with them. Although the delegates
endorsed resolutions to this effect
by acclamation. observers here
doubt if Chang win be able to
muster full support.
The overseas Chinese is a hard
headed businessman who meets
payrolls and sells merchandise. He
taps rubber and runs shipping
lines and keeps banks functioning.
A London report said Russia got
81. .S53 tons of rubber during the
first six months of this year from
countries in the Western camp. A
lot Of il was tapped and shipped
by overseas Chinese some Of
whom may have been delegates at
the Formosa meeting.
In this sense. the overseas Chi
nese Is not an all-out antagonist
Of communism or a pro Chang
uEnkeF.
But if the bulk OF the Chinese
| living abroad are permanently won
over the Chang. the Communists

Irving Stone, noted author and ex-
pert on presidential history.
"Of course, there was a lot NJ

pens in every election. BY that
time the campaigners are like auto.
nations hurting through space: :
they say things out of anger and

"But at least we have reached
the point where wives are no longer

this was in the 1928 election be-
tween Andrew Jackson and John
Quincy Adams"
Stone wrote biography of Mrs.
jackson, called The Presidents
Lady. It has just been filmed
with Susan Hayward and Charieton
Heston as the Jacksons. The story
tells how the 1928 campaign killed
the Presidents wife.
Henry Clay, who was running
the Adams campaign, realized
jackson had tremendous popular

only way to beat jackson was,
through his wife,
Rachel jackson had previously
been married to cruel landowner
from whom she fled. She heard
later hat he had divorced her, and
so she married Jackson. But the
divorce was found to be incom-

divorced her on grounds OF adul-
terry.
"Clay dug up the trial and pub
licized it throughout the country
in newspapers and pamphlets"
Stone recounted. "She was called
'adulteresS' and worse. Copies Of
obscene songs about her were dis.
tributed on street corners. jackson
was called 'wife-stealer' by his
opponents.
Despite these efforts, Jackson
won by an electoral vote of 17S to

President Herbert Hoover when it became evident that
Eisenhower elected President That noble senti-
men though it has been observed by our country since
its inception.
Eisenhowers statement was much to the same effect
and SO was Stevenson Stevenson put that idea apy after
he had sent his telegram of congratulations to Eisen
hover Stevenson said that is the tradition in the United
States for political parties to fight hard during cam
paigns but after the vote counted the parties become
united Americans
His telegram to Eisenhower gracousy worded
and Eisenhowers response was in a similar vein
Newspapers and news commentators asserted that
Eisenhower cracked the Solid South But what cracked the
Solid South was greed and prejudice, not Eisenhower It
said in 1928 that Hoover the Solid South but
what cracked it then was bigotry
AS readers of The Citizen are aware Governor
Shivers spent two hours with Stevenson in Springfield
Ill., pleading with him to out for the rights of states
to own tideands Shivers promised his support of the
Democratic ticket If Stevenson agreed to the Texans
proposal But Stevenson replied that the Supreme Court
80 decided that Hdeands belong to the nation as
pc, and that he would support the courts stand.
Rather than go back on what he considered prn-
1cipe Stevenson preferred to lose electoral
votes and he lost them but still maintains clear con-
science.
Southern leaders pleaded with Stevenson to 90 easv
on civil rights by declaring he favored leaving decisions
about them to the states of the federal govern
ment Again he stood firmly by his principle and lost Vir
gnia and Florida.
Key Wesers in 1928 proved conclusvey that bigotry
played no part in the they voted All other cities in
Florida gave maiorlties to Hoover but Key West stood
firmly behind AL Smith
Yesterday the remainder Of Florida piled up big ma.
ores for Eisenhower because of SteyensonS attitude on
civil rights but Key West again put fairness and Justice

The World Today
Rx JAMES MARION

WASHINGTON RAGeneral Eli
Senhower won the presidency for
various reasons which can be re-
duced to two, one personal. the
other political: he was Eisenhower
and the voters were fed up with
the Truman administration.
The proof of his personal draw
ing power was the fact that he
ran far ahead of his party. His
immense popularity and the public
confidence in him already estab-
lished, gave him an overwhelming
advantage from the start.
Stevenson, unknown outside Illi-
nois until his nomination, had to
begin his campaign from scratch.
Even so, Eisenhower'S great
prestige might have been offset by
the unknown Stevenson, merely be-
cause he was the Democratic can
didate, if there had been no real
issues and the voters were satisfied
with the Democrats.
But Eisenhower inherited a bun
die of issues which the Republicans
had been harping on for months
or years and which put Stevenson
in an even worse spot: he was In
a defensive position from the start.
The Republicans made the most
of high taxes, high prices. exposure
of crookednesS and flexible ethics
in the Democratic administration,
and the stalemated Korean War.
They stimulated further doubt
about the administration with their
endless charges of Communists in
government.
For Franklin D. Roosevelt, who
had shepherded them out of de-
preston and successfully through
most of World War ii. the people
developed an amazing confidence
which they exhibited by electing
him four times. II was as il they
considered him wise father who
could lead them through darkness
and danger.
They had less faith in the Demo-
Gratis under President Truman. as
they showed when they had their
first chance to, which was in the
congressional elections of 1916. Co
ing into that election the Demo
Gratis controlled both houses of
Congress. But the Republicans
said: Had enough" The voters
apparently thought they did. They
elected Republican maiorities in
House and Senate.
When ii came time for the presl-
dental race in 1913 the Republi-
cans tried the ''had enough"
slogan again. II worked in reverse.
After watching the Republicans in
Congress for two years, the voters
thought they had enough of them.
They reelected Truman and put
Democratic majorities in both
houses.
But the Democratic victory In
1888 was not an overpowering dis
play Of voter confidence in the
party Truman barely squeaked
back into the White House and
the Democrats had a congressional
majority by . hairline.
The problems and complications
that developed over the next four
years sapped voter faith in the
Democrats. ''Time for 3 change, .
the Republicans said In 1851. II
was almost as IL they had wrapped
up in one easy sentence the accu.
muiated disSatiSfaetions of many
people.

during the campaign to ask any

Attorney Generals Statutory Power
Ends when War Terminates, Is Ruling

WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb 2
(JACL ADC)-The United States
Supreme court this week ruled that
the statutory power of the Attor-
ney General to remove an alien e.
nemv is ended when war Is termi-
mated, the Washington office of the
JACL Anti-Discrfni h1ation Com
mittee reported today.
Hubert Jaegeler. German CT
tizen residing in the United States,
was interned by the Attorney Cen
eral on Feb. 1, 1912, as an enemy
alien under the provisions of the
1913 Alien Enemy Act. On Nav 3.
1916, acting under the same sta
tute, the ATTORNEY General directed
Jaegeler's removal to Germany.
Jaegeler applied for writ of
habeas corpus in the District court
for the Eastern District of Penn
sylvania, and, on Oct. 9, 1850, after
hearings, the District court de-
MED relief. The Court of Appeals
for the Third Circuit later affirmed
the lower courts decision and Jae-
geler appealed to the nations high
est tribunal on Aug. "a, 1851.
While the petition was under
consideration by the Supreme
court, a Joint resolution of Con-
gress, approved by the President
on Oct. 10, 1851, terminated the
state of war which had existed be-
tween the United States and Ger
many.
A unanimous court declared that
"the statutory power of the Attor-
