terribly fearful that such plans
would so frighten people as to start
evacuation now! For the people to
see great emergency villages now
being built in the surrounding rural
country, and kept vacant awaiting
the dropping of the fatal bomb.
might scare them to evacuate now.
Yet, perhaps no more building of
any kind should now be allowed in
these twelve cities.
(4l Is Decentralization Surely
Coming?
cannot believe. as many do. that
the big cities are already dead
ducks" I, however, do believe that
decentralization is to become an
important industry. 1t offers great
opportunities to real estate in
terests, builders and other bust
nessmen. Farm land within 80 miles
of large cities will double in value
This rural land will be used for new
homes, new shopping centers, new
factories and new Office buildings
One more thought: The present
Businessman" Administration al
Washington cannot afford a bust
ness depression now. Obsolescence
puts alimit to the bombs anI
airplanes which may be nERdt
now to hold in reserve. AS the
expenditures for the above anC
/ other military supplies will be
reduced, a great Campaign
I for Decentralization may be substi'
tuted in it's place. This could give
! business another real "shOt-in-the
arm" Moreover. the country as
whole, especially the small cities
should permanently benefit from
such expenditures.

Dear Friends:
You might have thought Hayes
was little boy going on his first
camping trip when he left us this
morning. He and two Air Force
Captains left by private plane for
Columbia. Missouri. The Associ-
ated Press announced in the paper
this morning that they are going to
witness the football game of the
week. There they will see the Uni
versity of Missouri play the Uni
veTsity of Maryland. No wonder
Hayes was so pelased with today's
schedule-his two favOrites COM
piled into one day, football and
! flying. Know they'll have a nice
time. A cold front arrived last
night and again lucky old Hayes
has a perfect day.
! Speaking of perfect weather, we
certainly have hit some snags when
we try to call home through the
/ ham operators at Forbes Air Force
Base. We have tried two different
dates TO contact Delaware and
each time the wave frequency
skips Delaware. The first time we
talked to California, Texas and
even received messages from
| French Morocco, but Delaware Just
wouldn't come through. Looking
! through the call letter book / was
just amazed how many amateur
radio hams there are in our small
state. We have four operators in
Milford that / know of and pOss-
IDLY more.
/. George Collins
=. Willard Hall
,. Charles Sigler
4. Lloyd Carter.
| We thought through these meI
some time we could leave message!
for our parents, but to no avai
so far. Some more operators from
down state were: I'D. SmithemaI
from Dover, Everett Wiley, AlleI
Phillips, Edgar L. Hudson, Rolant

ben Outten from FELTON,; Charlie
: 5. Horn and Seton Maynadier from
RehObOth; Jacob Sells from wy

An East German policeman, we
learn from the Berlin Neue Zeitung,
which is published by the U. S. High
Commissioner Office, underesti-
mated the power of a woman. The
cop, who is no longer on the force
in fact. he's quite dead--tried to
take her Eisenhower food parcel
from her when she returned to the
Communist East Zone of West Ber-
lin. The lady swung with her two
pound lard can, and dashed in his

Dulles Raises MalenkOV
At IN Poker Game
In a bluntly worded "put-up-or-
shut-up" speech at the United Ma
tiOns General Assembly, and aimed
directly at the Communists, Secre-
tary of State John Foster Dulles
spent 81 minutes answering the
pious utterance of Russia's Malen-
kOv that Communist and anti-Com-
munist systems can cOexist peace
fully
GeOrgi's remarks, he said, were
welcome" and added, but mere
words do not reassure US" He
reminded the world group that
"since 1889, 600 million people of
some fifteen countries have been
brought into the Soviet camp of
relationships" The US is ready, he
said, to explore all possible ways
for ending the present dangerous
tensions and bringing peace to the
world, but nothing We may do can
be effective unless there is an
equivalent response"
We are forced TO doubt that the
! Communist side really wants to
comply with the armistice and face
up to the problem of withdrawing
their forces from Korea and Gre
ating a united and Independent
Korea
OF Indo-China, he said: "Tht
Communications armies o.
Indo-China have no shadow of {
claim to be regarded as the cham
piOn of an independence move

clared, las proof that they Ctht

On the Air
On the Air
If He Has a Timing Secret,
Jack Benny Won't Admit 1t
BY Harry Macarthur

Jack Benny's timing is the
envy Of every comedian in show
business, not to mention a few
tragedians. He can make more
capital than any one in the trade
out of a long, hurt look cast in
the direction Of a departed actor.
He can hold it seconds after the
time when another performer
would have lost the audience. He
can then turn and give the GUS
toners that panied look of a
wronged innocent and go back
to the hurt gaze toward the
wings.
Don't expect him to pass the
secret of his timing along to
posterity, however. There just
isn't any secret, he maintained
the other day at a press lunch
con here. It isn't a matter Of
pausing and counting to II or
anything like that. It isn't even
conscious, he intimated. but
probably an instinct developed
through the years. He had a
story to illustrate the danger Of
making too close a study of COM
edy technique.
Back before broadcasting,
when he was in vaudeville. Ben
ny played q Newark date one
time on the same bill with
George Burns and Oracle Allen,
good friends of long standing.
Oracle told a Joke in the Burns
and Allen routine which used to
floor Benny every time he. heard
It, He told her about. It one day.
She couldn't place It.. 50 he told
her the joke. Next show. Oracle
was too conscious Of it to tell It.
1t was six months before they
could put it back in the act.
Benny, clearly, does not want
to be made SO aware of his tim
ing that he ever stops to think
about it.
There is a canard about the
top-ranking radio comedian, in
cidentally. which has been going
around for years and which
ought to be refuted. That is
the legend that he is completely
without wit except when sur
rounded by writer's. The matter
Of dwindling radio audiences in
television areas came up, for in
stance.
II still have two listeners in
New York-Cole Porter and an
other man I know" said Benny
solemnly. Talk went on to other
things. It got around to tele-
vision and how arduous it is.
Benny doesn't find it so, he inti-
mated. Things are relaxed around
his TV show and it's fun. He
likes to tape record his radio
show for the same reason. The
knowledge that mistakes can be
corrected makes the whole per-
formance less tense. 2
Il used to be so meticulous
about every little detail Of the
show" he said, ''but now I can
relax. Besides. why should I
be meticulous for Cole Porter?"
There was also his greeting
to this critic of some aspects Of
the TV show he did with
Mr.. and Mrs. Jimmy Stewart.
Hello" he said. IT want you
