The Posing Show
National to Clean
In Hour Of Rebirth
Miss Mermon Decorotes Stars Room,
And Management Does Its Part, Too
The Passing Show
By Jay Cormody


Ethel Norman will leave
more than her professional mark
on the National Theater dur
ing her four weeks here as the
star of Call Me Madam"
Any number of stars who will
follow her into the reborn thea
ter will be dressing in a back
stage room whose walls are
painted what might be called
q Norman green. There is
nothing naughty or stuffy about
Miss Norman. Neither does
she fancy herself as an interior
decorator. She simply likes
green as a dressing room color
and as the revitalized theater's
first star. she was given the
choice.
It Is an agreeable shade Of
green. It is highly unlikely that
any glamorouS tenant who
comes after Miss Norman could
be dissatisfied with it. There
fore. the star dressing room at
the National will remain green
until it needs repainting.
A New Corpet, Too
Another thing. it will be a
much better dressing room than
1t was before the theater went
illegitimate (cynical joke). or
movie, back in the summer of
1948. There will be new WALL
to-wall floor covering, dark red
with a border of black. and even
the bathroom fixtures will be
gleamingly new. =
The National is delighted
with geeting real actors again,
after four years of entertain
ment that came in cans. It
would not be correct to say that
it feels nothing is too good for
its backstage tenants, if only
because actors sometimes have
very exaggerated ideas on this
score.
Nevertheless, this part of the
terminated structure should
leave little to be desired. On
the eve of the first production.
1t shines like a new aircraft
carrier. Everything has been
repainted French gray except
for the stars room and the
bottom steps of each of the
stairs leading to the four tiers
Of dressing rooms.
These were painted the same
gray until Manager Edmund
Plohn led this correspondent on
an inspection tour of the thea
ter-from back to front and
top to bottom.
To Sove the Girls
Thinking over the decades he
has been watching chorus girls
in flight from where they dress
to where they dance and sing,
Mr.. Plohn had an idea. It was
q rather terrifying idea. In it
he visualized these jet-propelled
creatures damaging their state
ly neckS or lovely ankles on
last steps that they did not see.
These should be repainted a
bright warning color, he de-
cided. They are now done in q
quick-drying aluminium. Chorus
girls who trip cannot say they
were not able to identify the
last step down.
The National has always been
q roomy, comfortable theater IN
its backstage area, which is

But the theory that Ferrer

his relaxed way of doing things.
Sometimes he's too relaxed.
In the first 10 or Is minutes

A MONUMENT TO
US. ALTRUISM

The dignity of an individual
or of a nation is achieved when
there is corresponding freedom
and liberty within the bounds
of reason and decent rules of
conduct as sanctioned and rec
Ognized by society.
The Filipino people achieved
this dignity six years ago when
the United States of America
recognized their inaIienable right
to rule themselves, and an
nOunced to the world their po-
litical independence on July A,
1916.
That ability to stand by them
selves as a nation and to work
out their own destiny has been
demonstrated beyond the shad-
Ow of doubt since 1916.
The Republic of the Philip
pines will forge ahead, gaining
strength and prestige with the
years. And it will forever re-
main monument to American
altruism and the ideals of Amer
lean democracy.

Adhering closely to the signfi-
canoe of the day, two queens will
reign over the Independence Day
commemoration program in Au-
burn, Wash, sponsored by the Fill
pino and American Community of
Puget Sound the evening of July 3.
And rightly it is, for July is
Independence Day of the United
States as well as for the Philippines.
The United States declared it in
1776, and she granted it to the
Philippines in 1916.

So two queens will be there to

So, in the case of Dolores Estigoy,
who received her bachelors degree
in journalism at the June COM
mencement of the University of
Washington, her graduation is re-
markable to some extent.
First Pinay Journalism Grad
She is the first Philippine student
to major in journalism and to get
her degree in that field from the
local university. Several others
started to major in that course but
did not receive their degrees with
Journalism as their major. The first
Philippine student to graduate from
the University's school of Jour-
lnalism was Agustin Palacol, way
back in 1923.
Another distinction for Dolores
is that she is the eighth Filipino
to receive a sheepskin from the
local university. The first Pinay to
graduate from the u. of w. was
the late Maria iOrosa, followed by
Marie Abogadie, Mary Abastilla,
Anna Aguinaldo, Neny Encarna-
clon, Albina Zamora, and Anita
Villar.
These distinctions are only valid
insofar as Dolores comes from a
foreign race. But she also has
earned several achievements which
no ordinary student can ever boast
of.
Other Activities
In brief, she has been secretary
OF All-Phrateres, University wom-
ems social-service group; vice pres
loent of Theta Sigma Phi, women's
national journalism honorary; his
torian of Totem Club, senior wom-
ems activities honorary; and cam

Of Emotion

Pearly tears of JOY trekked SEN
over Rosita's satin cheeks as
President Tim Reyes announced in
a hoarse but emotional voice that
the title of miss Philippines of
1852" goes to Miss Rosita de Leon.
She was Immediately Rugged in
affectionate embrace by Marlene
Sison and congratulated by 1egions
of admirers. The Tacoma FilipinoS'
pride walked up to the stage, every
inch a queen and indisputably the
acme of beauty over 16 summers,
and the ribbon indicating her title
was pinned on her by Jose Ma.
Yumul, a well-known Filipino ar
fist from Seattle.
Dorothy Adams, who COPIED the
title of miss America" over three
ether opponents, showed no sign
of emotional stress over her tri-
umph. She took it in a matter-of-
fact manner. On the stage while
receiving the ribbon symbolic of
her title, she stood on one foot and
crossed it with the other, one
shoulder stopped lower as if to say,
$50 what?" as she was congrat-
ulated by v. A. Velasco, editor
publisher of the FILIPINO FORUM,
who pinned the ribbon on her. But
her smiles were the type that would
disarm any unfriendly attitude.

packed the Fraternity Hall in Au-

Doris Fleeson:

President Truman, after due
deliberation, has teed off on
Gems. Macarthur and Eisen-
hover in cold blood.
He told his aides that he
could just see the editorial
writers and columnists deploring
him as a bitter old man, but
he's had enough of the dema-
goguery about Korea. Hence the
unusual permission accorded
television and radio to film and
record his news conference yes
terday. The President wants his
remarks played up.
President Truman is par
ticularly fed up with Gen.
Macarthur. He believes firmly
that President-elect Eisen-
hower's campaign promise to go
to Korea was the "just pure
demagoguery" that he labeled it.
But he inclines to the view that
Ike, a political novice, was
sold" the idea.
Gen. Eisenhower also, as Mr..
Truman pointed out, has pune
tiliously obeyed military eti-
quette in his dealings with the
Commander in Chief and the
Pentagon. Mr.. Truman may
seem somewhat rough and
ready at times, but he has a
very keen sense of the presi-
dency, its prestige and powers.
When he thinks the presidency
Is aftronted, he gets mad and
stays mad.

Truman Will Regret His Attack
The Meowness Ends; It's Not Hard to See Who Was Guilty
Of Violating Etiquette When Macarthur Wos Dismissed

Committee on Foreign Rela-
tions and the Senate Armed
Services Committee is clear. It
shows that Mr.. Truman never
even advised the members Of
the Joint Chiefs of Staff that
he intended summarily to dis
miss Gen. Macarthur. The late
Admiral Sherman, Chief of
Naval Operations. told this cor
respondent that the first he
knew of the decision was when
he read it in the newspapers on
the morning 1t was announced,
though he had been in on some
of the discussions before the
decision was reached.
When a President of the
United States arbitrarily de-
poses a military commander
without obtaining a definite
recommendation from his own
Joint Chiefs of Staff and when
he does so primarily because of
a political motivation, no case
can be made for lack of courtesy
on the part of the victim of his
purge"
For the record shows that
nobody in the Joint Chiefs and
nobody in the White House did
a single thing about suggesting
discipline of Gen. Macarthur
for his views on military mat
tiers or on how to handle the
Far Eastern problem until the
general happened to write a
letter to Joseph w. Martin,
House Republican leader-a let
ter not intended for publica-
tion-in which a question asked
by the minority leader was an
swered. Within five days the
general was removed.
The legal right of members of
Congress to ask questions of
commanders or enlisted men on
active duty is unchallenged.
Congress is a coordinate branch
of the Government with the
Executive. When a member of
, Congress, occupying a post of
leadership. asks for information
that doesn't involve the ma
tional security, as was the case
IN this instance. he has a right
to be given the data he requests.

Arthur and then sought to build

DOTS FeeSOn:
Keen Sense of the Presidency
Truman Considered Prestige Of Office in Letting {
Bost at Gems Macarthur and Eisenhower

and such public personages, is
hard to tell. They clearly did
not respond to him as a political
leader; his presidential candi-
dacy was virtually ignored and
his choice. Senator Taft, gained
no appreciable new strength
from Gen. MacArthur's backing.
Apart from the conflict of
personalities, Mr.. Truman made
certain factual points against
Gen. Macarthur:
/. Instead Of displaying no
interest in his views, as Gen.
Macarthur claimed. the Presi-
dent travelled $4,000 miles to
Wake-at some personal risk, it
might be added-to see him.
2. Gen. Macarthur, according
to Mr.. Truman, gave him three
pieces of misinformation: That
the Chinese Communists would
not enter the Korean conflict,
that it would be possible to send
a division from Korea to Ger
many for occupation duty, and
that the war in Korea was
practically over.
3. A f1ve-star general on &C
tive duty-again, according to
Mr.. Truman-Gen. Macarthur
did not report to the Com
mander in Chief when he re-
turned from the Pacific or had
any other ideas for the good Of
the country.
