Says

NEW YORK R-When the ordi
nary man commits a conversation
al error in his living room, ht
doesn't worry much about it. No
body may even notice it except his
kindly old mother-in-law, and if she
is eating free who is she to holler!
But when a television performer
makes a mistake he feels sure i
will be seen in 10 million living
rooms, and at least nine million
gleeful people will write In letters
pointing it out.
That is why, when you shake
hands with some TV stars. you dis
cover they have very short fingers
Their fingers didn't grow that way
They've just been gnawed down:
In one of the most nerve-kill'
ing industries of our times it's q
big problem to keep from getting
too tense. John Cameron Swayze,
whose newscasts are estimated BY
INBC to reach millions, has a sim
pie gimmick to reduce nervous
ness.
"My father was a drug sales
man." he said. "And before each
program put an 'RX'-the drug
gists' prescription sign - at the
start of every paragraph OF my
script. And this sign is a constant
reminder to relax"
Actually John, methodical
craftsman, has found that on o
fast-paced program employing the
teamed and well-timed talents Of
as many as 100 people, the boners
that occasionally. are bound to hap
pen win more friends than critics.
Such as the time he introduced .

and a Chicago snowstorm flasneo

audience enjoyed more than this
one" John recalled, smiling. They
get a kick out of seeing that, toT
all the electronic marvels OF teie'
vision, there is still a human ele-
ment IN it-and sometimes the hui
man element slips up"
Swayze, now in his midforties'
was perhaps the original pioneer IN

He is one of the top-paid mer
i'm the field now, but he made the
real big time only within the last
five years. He came up the hard
way, and that may explain why his
hat sire has never changed. He
feels his success came as the re.
suit of series of lucky breaks,
and because of a willingness to do
what others didn't want to.

LET'S SUBSCRIBE TO COMMUNITY CONCERTS

Will there be series of Community Concerts for
Key West this season? The answer and it ought to be
overwhelmingly favorable, must be given soon while
the annual Community Concert membership lists are
open.
The local membership campaign, under the direction
OF Mrs. Delio Cobo membership chairman of the organ
cation, will open with Kickoff dinner Oct. rs.
Those who value music for the schools. in their own
lives and for its Importance in well-rounded commun
ty life, should join in the undertaking for another sea-
son.
Key West has had many rich musical experiences
in the past because of the local Community Concert
series.
The Island has pretty amazing record for its spon-
sorship Of music in the Schools but music, like other
phases of life that may be termed cultural cannot reach
fument If it is cut off from the living experience of
the community Of course there inestimable value in
good music that comes records and the radio,
but this should only help, not supplant the basic expert
ence just now referred to.
The record of the Community Concerts here has
been outstanding; Island audiences have heard artists
of real stature of whom have risen considerably in
critical esteem and are much better known than when
they appeared here. It is particularly pleasant to be-
acquainted face to face with rising artists of the
musical world.
What has been done so successfully in other years
be done agan-if everyone who values music will
come forward and subscribe.
Being careful is less painful than being injured-and
less expensive, too

There have been Communist

such painstaking effort to get
the answer to one question-is
the Communist party in America
controlled, directed and operated
by Moscow?
The Subversive Activities Con-

two years trying to get the
answer. It heard % witnesses
almost all of them past or pres

the party as agents of the Fed

The board was created by the
McCarran Act of 1850 to deter

By the Associufed Press

UNITED NATIONS. N. Y,
Mar. Henry Cabot Lodge, jr.,
stoutly defended today the peace
aims of the Republican Party
against Russian onslaughts. He
wound up the debate on Korea
with a new challenge to Moscow
to stop the Korean war immed-
lately on United Nations terms.
The chief United States dele
gate spoke calmly but forcefully
to the U. N. Political Committee
after listening to fresh Iron
Curtain blasts that the Republi-
can administration is a wal
party and American ruling cir
cleS" want to continue the wal
in Korea.
II hear the phrase ruling cir
cles," Mr.. Lodge said. II wonder
what it means. Anybody who fol-
lowed the election last fall in
which there was a complete
turnover in the Government
knows there are no ruling cir
cles' in the United States.
Craving for Peace.

Agency Operations Hompered
BY Delay on Civil Service Chief
LeuderIess Commission Unable to Help
Republicans With Personnel Changes

It also has the authority to
switch jobs from civil service
coverage to an excepted non-civil
service basis and vice versa.
Waiting on Chairman.
President Eisenhower is said
to be very anxious to make the
appointments but not until he
finds the right man as chair
man. The two associate mem
bers won't be named until the
chairman is found.
The administration is looking
for "big name" for the chair
manship. It has offered the Job
to Gov. DriScoll of New Jersey
and former Senator Danaher Of
Connecticut. Both turned it
down. Lawrence Appley. former
vice president Of Montgomery
Ward in charge of personnel and
now president of the American
Management Association, also
rejected the position.
The non-partisan National
Civil Service League, which has
submitted to the White House
the names of a number of
persons for the commission Job,
declares that the administration s
failure to settle the situation
''is a serious blow to efficient
Government operation. The
league feels there are quite a
few very capable men available
for the Craftsmanship, even
though they may not be big
names" nationally.
Agencies Hampered.
Nearly every department and
agency in Government is being
hampered by the situation.
For example, Internal Reve-
nue. Commissioner T. Coleman
Andrews has a number of re-
organization changes in mind,
but they must wait until the
new commission setup is COM
pleted.
In the Post Office Depart
ment, Postmaster General Sum-
merfield is waiting for the mat
ter to be cleared up so he can
proceed in the filling of the
thousands of postmaster vacan-
cies. Mr.. Summerfleld would
like to know whether the present
civil service job register for
postmasters can be scrapped and
another examination given. This
is because the present list is
composed almost entirely of
Democrats. During the Demo-
cratic administration, most Re-
publicans didn't bother to take
the postmaster examination be-
bause they knew they wouldn't
be selected if they made a high
grade.
At the Interior Department.
various personnel changes are
being held up because of the
commission situation.
The same is true at many of
the defense bureaus and depart
ments such as Commerce and
Agriculture.

Fu||-ScaIe Inquiry
OF War and Truce
Talks Asked by Taft
Senator Proposes Plan
Shortly After Van Fleet
Confers With President
By John A. Giles

A full-scale congressional in
vestigation into conduct of the
Korean war was proposed last
night as an aftermath of Gen
James A. Van Fleets charges OF
ammunition shortages in the
battle zone.
Senate Majority Leader Taft
told reporters he thought il
might be wise to broaden a pend

cover also the circumstances sur

This development came shortly

Senator Taft said he had dis
cussed the idea of a large scale
inquiry with friends of the Pres
ident but not with Gen. Eisen-
hover. He said, however, the
matter might come up at "a
meeting of legislative leaders
with the President. Such a meet
ing is scheduled tomorrow.
Kefauver Urges Caution.
There have been repeated Re-
publican demands that some
thing be done about ending the
Korean conflict.
The Taft proposal suggested
an investigation similar to the
Pearl Harbor inquiry after
World War II. 1t could be
broader in scope than the Sen
aCe's inquiry into former Presi-
dent Truman's dismissal of Gen
Douglas Macarthur as Far East
Commander in the spring Of
1851.
Senator Kefauver, Democrat
of Tennessee, said he feared such

reassignments, transfers and
bureau reorganizations planned
by the new Republican depart
ment and agency heads, have
been largely postponed due to
the muddled situation.
AS one Republican official de-
clared: After all. your employees
are the most important part of
any organization. And if you
don't know what you can do
about making personnel changes
and assigning the people you
want to the most important jobs,
then your operation comes to
almost a complete standstill."
Group Now Leaderless.
Republican officials consider it
useless to deal with the COM
mission until the new commits
Sioners are named. In its pres
ent status, the commission is
leaderless and can't presume to
speak for the administration.
The acting chairman is a career
employe, c. L. Edwards, who Off
cially is the executive director of
the commission.
AS a result, the various agen-
cieS don't know where they stand
regarding the personnel changes
they have in mind in the i'm
portant policy and administra-
tive jobs.
Furthermore, they want the
new commissioners appointed so
that they will have a friendly
Republican-cantrolled commits
sion to deal with-one that will
give them considerable leeway
in making the personnel changes
they want.
The commission is all power
full in deciding on which jobs
can be filled on a political pa
tronage basis and which cannot.
