FIashback To The
Past In Talking
To Veteran Actor
BY BOB THOMAS

HOLLYWOOD R-This week l
had a fashback to the past-inter-
viewing an actor back from mill.
tary service.
Seven years ago, I was doing
q series of stories with a familiar
ring. Actors who had been away
at war for three or four years
were returning to the screen.
Among those I talked to were
Clark Gable, Tyrone Power, Doug
las Fairbanks Jr., Robert Taylor,
James Stewart, William Holden,
Victor Mature and Red Shelton.
That was the war to end some
thing or other. But now the same
pattern is being repeated by an
other generation. The first actor
back from the new Army Is young
Richard Long, just returned from
two years of service.
Long, who played the romantic
interest in the Ma and Pa Kettle
series, left a promising career to
answer that familiar and unavoid-
able call from Uncle Sam. During
his two-year stretch, he performed
in special services in Tokyo as
disc jockey and radio actor for

By SAM DAWSON

NEW YORK R-Big business
men are moving into Washington
so some folk say.
And critics ask: VIII a Cabinet
full o. big businessmen be able to
deliver the goods in the big task
! it faces-or are people expecting
more than business-trained Off
Gals can produce right away?
Business has been gratified at
seeing leading executives of big
corporations, big banks, and big
corporation law firms-many with
personal incomes running into six
figures a year-getting top places
in the new administration.
A wave of confidence has swept
the industrial and financial worlds
since the election, with much talk
about the favorable atmosphere
for business expected henceforth.
Businessmen contend they can
do a better job of running big
! government than can the profess
sors, the economists, the planners,
the idealists-the men whom bust
ness criticized as welding too
much influence In Washington the
last 20 years.
The change-over gives business
the opportunity to run things closer
to the pattern it approves. Some
warn, however, that this carries
with it responsibility to produce
popular results.
And the task the big business
Cabinet faces is tough. The chal.
llenge to business is clear cut. The
voters will be watching, counsel
Tors warn, and reaction to any
failure or to a business Slumr
would come fast.
While the President and his bust.
nessmen Cabinet may propose how
the country should be run, much
will depend upon how Congress
disposes of these proposals. Strong
farm, labor and other blocs can
act as brakes.
But with the Conservative coali,
ton in Congress stronger now than
before the election, most bust
nessmen believe business viii be
| given the green light.
Look at the roster Of big buSi.
nessmen moving to Washington:
Charles E. Wilson, General Mo-
tors president, win head up the
biggest business of all-defense--
aided by:
Roger M. Kyes,. GIN vice presi-
dent, as his deputy;
Robert Ten Brock Stevens, head
of the big textile firm of j. p.
Stevens & Co., as Army secretary;
Robert Bernerd Anderson, Texas
cattle, oil and banking leader, as
Navy secretary;
And Harold E. Talbot, invest.
ment banker and ChrySler direc-
tor, as Air Force secretary.
/ George M. Humphrey, iron, steel
and coal industrialist with chem.
ical, shipping and banking inter.
ests, will be secretary of the
Treasury, aided by:
/ Marion B. Folsom, Eastman Ko

programs beamed to the troops.
He was a private first class.
Did his movies follow him
around?
"Yes," he replied, "and I al
ways got a peculiar reaction from
other soldiers. They'd say, Hey
Long, I saw you in the movie last
night And that's all they'd say.
No comment or anything"
The ex-soldier admitted that be-
ing an actor had its disadvantages
in the service. He mentioned that
on one occasion in basic training
he was assigned to watch the
other soldiers go over a barrier
on the obstacle course.
About every third man would
say, 'You're Long, the actor,
aren't your" When he admitted his
identity, they'd say, Well / won't
60 over 1t unless you dop. Long
had to Chamber over the obstacle
dozens of times.
He thinks his service in the
Army helped him acquire a real
insight into the worlds toughest
movie audience-GPs.
81 suppose they are the rudest
audience possible" he remarked.
eff they don't like a picture, they
express themselves in no uncer-
tain terms. On the other hand, if
they do go for a picture, their
attention is complete. Generally,
they like musicals, Westerns and
other action pictures. They seldom
like any kind of drama. But l
guess that's true of most audi
ences today"

Cool Reception J, !,
By Congressman
To UNIT Proposal

WASHINGTON, R- Most mem
bers of Congress who expressed
themselves Tuesday on Presi-
dental commissions recommen-
dation for a military manpower
policy recoiled from its central
idea-universal military training
for youths not drafted.
The National Security Training
Commission said Monday in
special report to President Eisen-
hover that UNIT could be put into
effect by January, 1855, or earlier,
operating simultaneously with the
draft. The plan would require
Congressional approval.
The commission proposed
lottery to determine whether
youth would get six months train
ing or be required to serve two
years as draftee.
=. The group said the program,
while not achieving absolute
equality, at least would avoid
what it called the present unfair
situation in which veterans are the
only reservists available to be
called up in a sudden war emer-
gency.
Under the proposed UNIT pro-
gram, the trainees would be called
ahead of veterans.
The commission commended it's
program also might save money
by permitting a reduction in the
regular military forces, and might
help. deter war by setting up a
steady program Of long-term pre-
paredness.

WE BOTH WIN
# you like quiz programs, try this OF
What F,11rOnnan country has the !

If you like quiz programs, try this one for size:
What European country has the lowest living
index and the highest wage scale has the soundest
currency in the world has asked US tax
payers for doar-under the Marshall Plan or any
other aid program?
If you need hints, it's about one-tenth the size Of
California. 1t has minerals, coal, no oil It has
only enough tillabe land to support its population
three months of the year. And with 1/500th Of the
worlds populations, it carries 1/5Oth of the worlds
trade-for cash.
It's Switzerland, of course, the country that last
year bought 1874 million dollars worth of American
goods and sold us 1874 million dollars worth of pre-
cson machinery, textiles, cheese watches and watch
movements the country that spent $48 per capita
for American food, automobiles tobacco, drugs and
most everything you think of, while Americans
spent go cents per capita for Swiss products
There is no mystery about the dependence of the
Swiss export trade for their very existence, but the
heated discussions in this country tariff rates
have failed to reveal dependence these Swiss
goods The large American watch industry created by
the import of Swiss watches and movements prime
example The So million dollars worth imported in
1852 not only filled consumer demand, but sup
ported 300 million dollar US. industry devoted to
assembly Of the movements and production Of finished
timepieces. Also concerned were Americas 10000
jewery stores, which depend watch sales, repairs
and attachments for nearly half their business.
The statisticians figure do alright SINCE on a
dollar basis the Swiss watch business IS cents
for and Is cents for Switzerland.
We hope the Randall Commission, appointed by
President Eisenhower to work out foreign trade
and tariff policy has the patience to dig to the bottom
of all these importexport situations and recommend
revisons only where they needed:
Remember the popular song of long ago:
Il miss my Swiss,
My Swiss Miss misses me p?
We wouldn't want it to come true.

Sen. Lying Gives
His Views On
Controversial Law

When queried by the Nome
Nugget concerning the suddenly
enforced Land Registration Act of
the 1853 legislature, Territorial
Senator Howard Lying gave out
the following statement:
In the 1853 session of the 'legis-
lature two companion bills were
introduced in the House. They
were House Bills Sc and 1874. lib.
Sc created the Territorial Depart
ment of Public Lands and the
Office of Land Commissioner.
H.B. 124 required the registration
of ownership of all real property
in Alaska and placed administra-
tive responsibility in the Depart
ment of Public Lands, charging
the land commissioner with duties
and powers incident thereto.
Both of these bills passed the
Senate on the last day of the last
session, and had the name of Rep
resentative Howard Pollock, An
chorage Republican, on them.
However, they were both admin
istration must" pieces of legisla-
ton, sponsored by the Department
of the Interior and Governor-des-
ignate Heintzleman, then in Wash
ington, DC.
This was admitted, in response
to my questions, by Assistant Re
gional Forester for Alaska Charlie
Burdick, who, after l had spoken
against one of these measures,
asked for and was granted the
privilege Of speaking from the
spectators gallery. Burdick then
stated that the establishment of a
land department was an immedi-
ate necessity, as otherwise the ter
ritory could not receive the gift
of two and half million acres of
land that the federal government
desired to convey to Alaska.
I had asked the Senate to con-
slider turning this legislation over
to the newly created Legislative
Council for study, public hearings
if deemed necessary, and proper
bill drawn up for presenta ton to
the next legislature.
Shortly after Governor Helm
tzleman took office he appointed
a recently retired, long time fell
low-employe of the US. Forestry
Dept, Mr.. w. A. Chipperfield, to
the $9000-a-year position Of land
commissioner
In the Monday edition of the
Nugget appears statement by
Land Commissioner Chipperfield.
After reading it ! advise anyone
who registers real property in the
City of Nome with the us. COM
missioner, to write in the follow
ing: Il pay this under protest"
I agree with Mr.. Chipperfield
that the next legislature should,
and probably will, repeal that part
Of the law that concerns incorpor-
ated municipalities, school dis
tricts, and public utility districts,
where land registration is already
maintained and available at all
times to any citizen, including the
land commissioner.
The Land Registration Act in its
present form is confounding and
confusing to most, incensing to
many, and a costly nuisance to all
concerned.
