KUALA LUMPUR, Malaga CP-
U. S. Supreme Court Justice Wilt
am o. Douglas, after one week of
his twO-week tour of guerrilla-
plagued Malaga, said he was inn
pressed that even Communist reb-
els who killed without reason, get
a fair trail in British courts.
Justice Douglas said he felt that
the top command of the Malayan
gue~rillas was distinctly Commun-
ist in character.
When he returns to the United
States, Justice Douglas declared, he
would tell his people that Malaga
was one of the free nations of the
world upholding the flag Of demOc-
racy.

urges those who would grow old
gracefully and successfully.
To those who question the au-

simply replies that he proved it "a
while ago. by county records in
Kingston, N. Y. where he was 81 in
1875. He won't discuss it further,
except to quote his grandmother
who used to say that you forget q

Mr.. Van Dyne lost his wife and a
daughter in the Iroquois Theater
fire in Chicago in 1903. He has lost

He has lived through four major
wars and hasn't fought in any of
them. A broken ankle kept him out
OF the Civil War, he says, and when
the Spanish-American War came
along he was too old-54.

The immediate future involves

when he'll consider the past, says he
was born in 1874 on a Georgia PLAN

years ago after an active life as a

Young Johnnie Ray. an overnight
jukebox sensation. is the most emo
tional singer to come along since the
late AL Jolson first dropped to one
knee.
Johnnie's style belongs to the
frankie Laine school Of tortured
sentiment-with added muscle in the
voice.
He sings alternately loud and soft.
His voice breaks tearfully over O
phrase as though it couldn't go on,
but it rises manfully from the abyss
of its own despair.
He is as emotional to the eye as to
the ear. His body rocks, his fists are
clenched desperately, and his tightly
shut eyes frequently yield tears in the
middle of q song.
Il really try not to cry" explains
Johnnie. who is "a. thin and brown

Metal mining fields have been ex-
panded.
Giant hydroelectric plants, like
that at Kaprun. are being completed.
Highway construction has been
rushed.
Yet the Austrian government has
had to struggle with a rising price
level. Prices are up 40 per cent
since the Korean war.
Austria's hope lies in exports. One
way is to introduce United States
methods Of mass production. Twenty
Austrian industrialists are now in
the United States to study our meth
DDS. But there is a lot of red tape
holding everything back, some of it
imposed by the four powers.
Chancellor Figl. who wants to raise
Austrian exports to $500 million, says
the Austrian exporter should be
spared the situation where he has
to run to a dozen agencies and wait
dozen weeks for his export permit"
Senator Ellender, anxious to tear
into the waste of ECA funds in
Europe, wants Austria's Chancellor
Figl to come to Washington to tes-
tify. Even in the one spot in
Europe" contends the Senator,
where Marshall aid has done a good
job, the other powers are making it
as tough as possible for the country
to come back. I think we can get
the Chancellor to come and tell the
story at first hand. One thing we
Americans should not forget. Not
all of Marshall aid funds have not
been wasted. Austria is one prime
example of the good that has been
DONE"

Rome

A molasses-sweet voice singing nos
talgic songs reaches way back-way
back to the Paris of 1924 when half
dozen young American writer's were
beginning to make their names
famous.
They hung around "Bricktop's."
F. Scott Fitzgerald. whose nostalgic
books Of the prohibition era are win
ming new posthumous popularity,
once lamented Bricktop's passing
from Paris.
Bricktop. otherwise Ada Smith Du
Congo, has opened another spot In
Rome. Between songs she remi-
niSced:
''There was Scott and his wife
Zelda-she was nice. There was
Hemingway, too already famous
And Louis Bromfield and John
Steinbeck :. Steinbeck. he's my
darling Of all my darlings except, Of
course. Cole Porter. He's my favorite
in all the world"
It was Mr.. Porter. way back In 1925.
who asked Bricktop- slim and
red-headed-if she could dance.
II sure can." she said.
Mr.. Porter was crazy about the
Charleston then and for q while
Bricktop's work was cut out teaching
1t to Paris. From there it spread all
over Europe.

Charleston a quarter-century ago is

coal. when all these countries have
vast resources Of coal under their
own ground"
But for ECA aid to Austria, the
Senator has praise. "It is a strange
fact" he says, that ECA has done
marvellous job in Austria. The little
country is getting back on it's feet
despite occupation charges levied by
the British, French and Russian
forces-but not by the Americans"
The Russians especially have MIXED
the Austrian economy, he says. They
seized great oil fields and 431 indus
trial plants as reparations.
Yet despite this, the contrast to
1945 is strange. Along Vienna's Kart
nerstrasse the shops are smart. Cafes
are crowded. A complete meal with
five courses averages so cents to 81.
The soups and salads have that dis
tinctive Viennese touch. the f1let
mignons are juicy and the vintage
wines are plentiful and cheap.
But if prices are low, so are wages.
Average weekly pay is about $40 to
SIS. But with rationing almost gone,
shops are filled with luxuries and me-
cesSities. including fine wines, artis-
tic pastries and Vienna sausages.
ECA Achievements
What else has ECA done for Aus
tria? Here are some of the things:
Railroads have been 60 per cent
electrified, at great saving of coal,
which Austria does not have.
A million and half acres in waste
land have been recovered.

Much of this money" says the
fiery little Louisiana Democrat, has
gone into the hands of politicians.
If you had seen what saw on my
recent tour of Europe. you would
blow your top. I am about to blow
mine. But you can bet all the facts
are going to be developed. And we
are going to do it right here in

Here are some of the things Sena-
tor Ellender found:
In Sicily, hundreds of thousands
, Of dollars of Marshall Plan aid were
diverted from badly needed schools
and hospitals to build handsome
buildings of fine stone, mosaic and
colored windows for government Of
fees. such as a five-story Office
building for the immigration Bureau
and another building for the Port
Authority.
In France. very. little ECA money
has been used for the defense of
sFrance-only trickle has gone into
factories that may be able to meet
war needs. The idea seems to have
been also to charge the United
States for every possible incidental
expense. Thus France charges rent
for airports the United States has
built and is maintaining.

They like the food, they like their

These 81 privates represent the

sion OF $500 foreigners in the Army.
They are nearing the end of q 16-

American expression.

Sixteen other aliens inducted with
Pvt. Daradan's group were sent to
Fort DevenS, Mass, for instruction
in English. The 81 here speak Eng
lish well enough for Army purposes.
Capt. Drexel M. Ace. commander
OF the two alien-studded companies.
says he wishes he had a whole COM
pany of aliens.
Several. like Pvt. Jaroslav Rejholec
OF CzechoSlovakia, have had prior
military experience. Pvt Rejholec was
an othcer in his country during the
last World War.
The 81 aliens have been split I'D
between two 9th Infantry Division
companies-G of the 364th Regiment
and F Of the 47th Regiment. They
are split up even further within the
companies, each squad being limited
to one alien.
Each has an American trainee-
buddy to help him with language
difficulties, introduce him to Ameri-
can ways and suggest places to 60
on pass.
No one at Fort Dix seems to know
right now what the future holds for
the pioneer group of alien trainees.
Officers said they may wind up back
In Germany or even Korea after the
end of the training program.
AS for promotions, Capt. Ace said
he understood the aliens could get
n-commissioned ratings, but since
they are not citizens, cannot become
officers
All in ALL" Capt. Ace concluded,
they seem to be doing fine"
