As the Song Goes

Irving Berlin came close to the sentimental
masterpiece Of his sentimental art when he COM
posed There's No Business Like Show Business Z"
In it, entertainment found the spirited anthem
for which it might have been waiting since the
first troubadors walked the earth singing their
cheerful tunes.
Mr.. Berlin clearly had hit upon something.
But what? It is not mankind's way to look for
sense behind the sound of its popular songs. In
the case Of There's No Business Like Show Busi-
ness" however, one might ask Why? What
makes it different from most business?
One obvious answer is that the people in it
are different. They are perhaps a bit more
dedicated, more intense, more anxious to please
and to serve Such one is A. Julian Brylawski,
whose 10th birthday and 44th year in show
business is being observed here Monday night by
his professional colleagues and by city officials

Cynical CoIumnist

Dorothy Thompson is revealing in re-
cent columns what seems to me an un-
warranted amount of cynicism.
Firstly, she criticizes the terms "police
action" as applied to United Nations
defense of South Korea, stating that it
was instead simply a power play in
United States military strategy in the
Pacific. She presents a hypothesis of
South Koreans having crossed the 38th
parallel to attack North Korea. conclud-
ing that If such had been the case we

To further guarantee the security Of

to grant Korea membership in the U. N.

protection of the U. N. Charter. This
would require adroit maneuvering to get
around the Russian veto.
Such forward-looking, long
program by the United States will

Totum Poison to Ivy Leuoue

In criticizing the Ivy League, Coach
Tatum implied that these Colonial COL
leges were making money grants solely
for football prowess and calling them
academic scholarships. This is what he
said, although that is obviously not what
he meant. His statement was a reflec-
tion on the honor of these fine colleges
and understandable brought forth re-
buttal and chagrin from many of our
older. 1vy-type colleges, for seemingly
there is an invisible yet streng bond of
kinship among all such colleges in all
sections OF the country. This explains
what DR.. Byrd undoubtedly meant when
he referred to the bad publicity Mr.. Ia
tum's remarks had produced for the
University of Maryland.
Coach Taturn must have been aware
OF the many years coaches are retained
in the Ivy League even without pro-
ducing championship teams, the vital yet
subordinate position of football, the lin
tied squads, the short seasons. absence
OF night games. and especially the con-
slant alertness against non-alumni sup
port and influence.
Surprising as it may seem to those
not sensitive to college traditions, I
prophesy that If Coach Tatum seeks
position with some of our older COL
leges, he will find that his squabbles
and record will hardly be discussed or
remembered. whereas his remarks
against the integrity of the Ivy League
will be his biggest hurdle in the nego-
tiations. believe that this will be espe-
cially true with the University Of North
Carolina. which has close association
with all the Ivy League universities and
has been, in turn, admired by them for
many. many years.

Military Air Crashes

- There seems to be no pattern to the series
OF military air transport crashes that has shocked
the Nation in recent weeks. It is natural to
suspect sabotage in these war days, but, no
evidence pointing to that cause has yet been
found. The, one factor common to a majority
OF the accidents is bad weather. Unfortunately,
the emergency is such that military aircraft
often must take the risk of poor flying conditions
Nearly 200 military personnel and civilians
are dead or missing as a result of the series of
transport crack-ups during November. Four diff
ferent types of cargo planes were involved in
eight different crashes. Two crashed into noun
talns, one lost propeller, several involved take
of1s or landings in which human error rather
than mechanical failure could have been d
factor. Poor visibility undoubtedly contributed
to several of the accidents
The latest tragedy, near Tacoma Washing
ton, brought death to 36 men, women and chill
dren In C-54 There was fog and the big plane
apparently clipped wing on a tree as it tried
for landing. Only four days before another
plane from Alaska, a giant CHA, had been
lost in Montana, with So aboard. Four C-119s,
the Air Forces medium transport, were destroyed
in a rapid succession of accidents that began
November in Alaska. A week later another
Clio hit Korean mountain as it was returning
servicenen from Japan, one day later third
CLIP was listed as missing in Alaska and the
fourth of these planes was wrecked in Montana
when propeller Jared loose. A Cas- mean
while was lost in Korea in take-off accident.
All Of these catastrophes are being thor
oughly investigated to determine, if possible, the
exact causes. The Air Force should make its
findings public.

Keep the Trucks OF

The movement to bar commercial trucking
from the new Washingt Baltimore Parkway
deserves widespread support. The parkway will
not fully serve its purpose as an expressway of
minimum accident hazards and maximum safe
speed If the truck congestion of u. S. Route L,
which it parallels, is to be shifted to the new
highway. Heavy truck traffic is inconsistent with
the parkway idea, as users of Shirley Memorial
Highway in nearby Virginia have learned to their
sorrow. Opening Of the Virginia expressway to
truck traffic not only has decreased it's safety
but has necesstated construction of special truck
parking areas to save the seeded shoulders and
center strip from destruction
The suggestion for barring trucks from the
Maryland parkway originated at a meeting of
the finance committee of the General Assembly's
Legislative Council in Baltimore. Chairman Rus
sell H. Mccain Of the State Roads Commission
said no legal authority exists for thus restricting
traffic on certain highways, but he approved of
the proposal for giving the commission such
authority. Mr. Mccain pointed out that a re-
striction of this sort is logical where parkway
closely parallels another main route, like the
Baltimore pike. member OF the Legislative
Council cited the Pulaski highway (Route 400
as an example of obsolescence which follows
"commercialiZation" of a highway.
OF course, any plan to restrict use of the
Washington Baltimore Parkway would require
:. cooperation of Federal authorities. The park
way is a joint Maryland United States under
taking, Maryland is completing the road as far as
Jessups and the Federal Government is building
the remainder as far as the District line, where
it will tie in with District highways. Since the
parkway is designed for defense uses, military
vehicles could not be barred from using it. But
the Baltimore pike is better adapted to the needs
Of heavy truck trafdc and 1t would be logical to
keep such traf1c there

An Enduring Kinship

Sir Oliver Franks, retiring as Britains Am
baSsador to the United States sailed for home
yesterday. In the 48 hours before his departure
he made two significant addresses to the Amer
lean people, one from the National Press Club
here and another by radio from New York on the
eve OF his sailing. They were calm and scholarly
addresses, in keeping with Sir divers own char
acter and the temper of his services here, in
summation of his four and one-half years of rep
reSenting his government in Washington.
It has been a period in which important mu-
tual policies have been formulated and in which
great joint endeavors have been undertaken.
Sir Oliver recalled among them, land credited
largely to generous and imaginative" Ameri-
can leadership, such undertakings as the Mar
shall Plan, the Atlantic pact and the free worlds
resistance to aggression in Korea. The departing
Ambassador looks upon these developments not
as the evolutions of expediency, nor as forced
partnership in time of emergency. He sees them,
instead, as evidences of the deep and fundamen-
tai knShip which exists between the British and
American people, relationship which emerges
from differing traditions and temperaments into
the same aims of peace and freedom. The differ
enceS which cropped up from time to time in our
1mplementation of common policy, he looks upon
as useful and proper" and their very resolution
as added testimony of the basic compatibility
Even those differences which arose over the In
dian proposals on Korea were differences over
detail rather than over principle a.@,.
1t is not an accident, Sir Oliver said,- that
when the enemies Of the freedom loving world
attack they direct their heaviest fire at "the
Anglo-American bloc" 1--WE are not bloc," he
added, I'VE are society and an association of
free peoples. But when they attack us, they be-
leve too that they are attacking the hard core
of freedom in the world"
Sir Oliver is leaving the United States at
the close of political era in this country. He
has contributed greatly to the expression of the
common Anglo American aims, and he leaves the
confident message that 1--WE back ourselves to
win" The justification of this confidence now
falls to others. There is no reason to fear that
the association which has been joined so long and
so firmly and which has deeper roots than can
be found in either politics or personalities, will
be endangered.
