LISBON, Portugal R - When
kings lose their thrones but man.
age to keep their heads, they like
to come to Portugal.
The political climate as well as
the balmy air of this tiny country
lit is about the size of Indiana,
has a population slightly larger
than that Of New York City-agreeS
with them. They also like the feel
ing Of stability and security built
by Premier Antonio de 0liveira
Salazar, the most scholarly as well
as one of the more durable of
Europe's dictators.
As q result this refugee of royal
ty has more ex-kings, would : be
kings, and heirs of kings than
pinochle deck, all dreaming of the,
good old days or hoping for a re-
turn to power.
Among the refugees who dwell
quietly here are Umberto II OF
Italy; Carol of Rumania; Don Juan
Of Bourbon. pretender to the crown
of Spain; Francois Joseph of the
vanquished ustro-Hungarian en-
pire; Admiral Horthy, ex-dicta-
tor Of Hungary; the Count of Paris,
also known as the Duke de Guise,
still waiting to take over the throne
Of France; and Dom Duarte Nuno
de AragaEa, who yearns for Portu-
gal TO become a monarchy again
and give him a job again.
Aging ex-King Carol, perhaps the
best known, has dropped his play
boy ways. He and his wife, the
tempestuous former Madame Lup-
eseu, live moderately. Their main
interest now is their big business
investments.
"The only thing that worries
Carol now, Is that his son, former
King Michael, viii ask him for
money" said an acquaintance.
The royal refugees lead undis-
turbed lives. They feel safe from
revolution or revenge or animosity
because, as one resident put it:
The average Portuguese is in
dustrious and very poor himself,
but he has little resentment against
the wealthy. There is an old pro-
verb here about the rich: May
they eat twice at every meal. The
peasant knows that no matter how
much money q man has he can

HAL BOYLE SAYS

only eat one meal at a time"
For, this reason Portugal has be-
come a haven of some men of
great fortune.
The most fabulous is s3-year-old
"Mr. Five Per Cent" Caluste Sark-
is Gulbenkian, reputed to be the
worlds only living Millionaire.
A figure of international mys-
terry, this short dark octogenarian
Armenian could buy and sell all
the royal refugees here, singly or
in a lump, with no more strain
on his purse than the average man
feels in purchasing a new suit.
With the help of two secretaries
he operates a worldwide empire
in oil from a five-room suite in the
Aviz Hotel, which is near a police
station and the city slaughterhouse.
Old "Mr. Five Per Cent" ordi-
narily eats alone in the hotel din
ing room, and the Portuguese love
to tell legends of his frugality.
He and his wife, who died re-
Gently, lived apart" said one ma
tive. "She used to complain to
friends he never would allow her
more than $40 a month spending
money. If his son and daughter-in-
law dined at the hotel, he would
order a single bottle of wine for
himself, drink what he wanted,
then send the rest of the bottle
over to their table"
The big ambition of 'Mr. Five
Per Cent" is to live to be 106.
"My father lived to be 105," he
said some years ago, land l am
in better health than he was at my
age"
All my life l have wanted to see
live billionaire. We checked in
at the Aviz Hotel-FranceS and /
and DR.. Anson Clark, a Lubbock,
Tex, oil man-and hoped to meet
Gulbenkian. But he avoided the
dining room during our brief stay.
One morning, however, as we
stood in the lobby Frances glanced
up and saw a bent antique figure
shuttle by a balcony. II was old
'Mr. Five Per Cent" himself. But
when looked up he had vanished.
what did he look like?" | asked.
''He just looked like an old hotel

Hight bulb for a guest" said

A Letter
From Bill Laniaii

Lear NelgnDOrs
One of the greatest elections In
the history of this country is over.
Whether you supported General
Eisenhower or Governor Stevenson
you could not help but be hearten-
ed by the record-breaking number
of citizens who turned out at the
polls and voted. This is great
triumph for America and Ameri-
cans for we have shown the world
- democracy at work.
1t seems rather strange to me
that some individuals would re-
gister concern as to the after-ef-
feet of the election. They wonder
about those who played q siren.
Gus role in the campaign. They
wonder if the parties will unite in
the best interest of our country
or will dissension rule.
Well, while we play our politics
hard and rough, perhaps too rough
or in a more jealous vein than
many of US would like to see cam
paigns conducted, when the final
vote Is counted we unite as Ameri-
cans and rally to support the
victor as our country's leader and
the man at the helm Of our ship
of state. It has been said that
which united us as American citi-
zens is far greater than that which
divides us as political partisans.
We vote as many but we pray as
one and as Americans we are al.
ways ready and willing to put our
shoulders to the wheel of progress
insofar as our country is concern
ed.
To dispel any fear that absolute
dissension win rule, / think We
need only to note the statement,
made by great Americans ant
leaders of our two major politica
parties Immediately following thu
election. The defeated Democrat,
candidate Adlai Stevenson tele
graphed General Eisenhower, "Ths
people have made their choice and
l congratulate you. That you maj
be the servant and the guardian
| of peace and make the day o
trouble a dawn of hope Is my
earnest prayer" Replying TO this
PreSident-elect Eisenhower said, |"

generous message Recognizing In
tenSity Of the difficulties that IL
ahead, it is clearly necessary tina
men and women Of good VIII Q
both parties forget political strif'
of the past and devote themselves

President Truman and former Pre-,
sident Herbert Hoover both stated

EISENHOWER'S DUTY IS NOT TO RISK
HIS LIFE FLYING TO KOREA

The Citizen said, when Eisenhower promised, during
the campaign, to go to Korea if he elected that the
promise was purely of political nature, designed to
catch votes.
promise to do something that needs not be done is
absurd; to fulfill that promise is fatuous In Eisenhowers
the fufment of the promise entails the danger Of
his losing his fe He is the Presidentelect not Of
the Republicans but of all Americans and 1t is shocking
to think he will risk his life to do something that will not
prove beneficial in any way.
General Van Fleet said, few days ago, that Esen.
hover learn in day in Korea than he could
in 100 reports from him. Van Fleet Van Fleet has been
In Korea eight months, and if he is not familiar with
sector at the 'front.' familiar with everything in.
cudng munitions and other supplies pertaining to every
SECTOR then he should forthwith resign from the army
Van Fleet and other commanding officers in Korea
give Eisenhower report in detail about the condi-
hons Of UN and enemy troops that Eisenhower could not
learn in weeks visit to Korea Either that Il true or
Eisenhower is Democrats satircally charged super
man. was said that thousands of Americans thought
when the Korean trip promised that all that Ese-
hover would have to do to stop the war would be to step
on Korea. And President Truman rightly said the
promise of the trip implied that Eisenhower could do
more in day or two than the four American generals
thefN had done in many months. The President added
that the implication reflection on the ability Of the
American commanders in Korea.
Generals pinpont maps of the fighting in every sec.
tor OF the front OF battle line Constant information
from the front keeps the pnponts moving that COM
mandernchef and members of his staff can determine
how to maneuver troops, where strike If weakness
in enemy lines has been found That and all other in
formation about the fighting in Korea transmitted
the Pentagon daily, hourly, if circumstances warrant
that action and Eisenhower learn just much about
the war from the Pentagon he can in Korea.
His life is too precious to the American people to
risk 1t in flying 10000 miles, going and returning over
the ocean As The Citizen it. he owes to the Amer
people to stay at home
The risk the proposed trip entails has been gen.
orally realized by Americans newspapers have been
specuating over what will happen If he loses his life
Citizen readers probably have noted that if Eisenhower
lost his life before December 15 the date which
publican electors cast their VOTE Republican leaders
agreed that the Republican National Committee would
not choose Nixon President Choices Of the committee
as the reports them would be Senator Taft Governor
Dewey, Senator Lodge. Governor Warren Of Cafor-
MIA But if Eisenhower died after the baoting, Nixon
would become President
But why risk Eisenhower's life to keep a promise
that should not have been made and should be
because of its hazardous nature? Eisenhowers duty is
not to so to Korea instead his duty stay home

'vagaries Of Weather
Affect Gas Heatinq
Revenue, PUG. Told

The Public Utilities Commis-
sion will resume its hearing on
the Washington Gas Light Co. S
request for a Is per cent increase
In rates at 10 am. February 25.
CrosS-examination of company
witnesses was completed yester-
day afternoon.
H. B. Noyes, vice president,
said anticipating gas needs for
Washington's coolest weather is
as much Of q gamble as playing
the races.
To supplement the natural gas
supply, the company manufac-
lures gas here from oil in extreme
1y cold weather. Mr.. Noyes ex-
planned. But it is difficult to
guess correctly. he said. And the
company can lose money If too
much Of this oil-made gas is
produced, he added.
Consumption Lags.
AS matter of fact, he teSti-
fed. the company may have over
estimated its houSe-heating de-
mand by $500.000 this year, since
gas consumption so far is from
10 to Is per cent below the COM
pany's estimates, Mr.. Noyes de-
clared. But around $375 900 may
have been saved in operating eX-
penSes and wholesale gas costs,
he said
Mfr. Noyes told the commission
the company's estimates for the
coldest day this winter are based
on 206 million cubic feet of gas
being used. This presupposes a
temperature of degrees for "a
hours. The vice president said a
high wind has an important bear
ing on home heating. He ex-
planned customers will use more
gas in cloudy weather and when
there is snow on the ground, be-
cause of the psychological factor.
The maximum daily use of gas
this winter occurred on December
16, when I'll million cubic feet
were consumed, Mr.. Noyes said.
Asked by Special Assistant Cor
poration Counsel Lloyd B. Har-
rison about the trend to warmer
winters here, Mr.. Noyes said:
mo one knows whether we are
at the end Of such a cycle or in the
middle of it. But we can not design
a system on the theory that
warmer winters will be the rule.
1t would be foolhardly to make a
design on the theory that S
degree temperature can't happen
here"
Under a new rate schedule filed
with the Federal Power Commits
sion. due to become effective
March Z, Mr.. Noyes said, the COM
pany must notify the natural gas
wholesaler, the Atlantic Seaboard
Corp. in advance Of the COM
pany's entire gas demand for next
