Arizona Sun:
The recent granting of awards
and scholarships to high school
graduates in the local high schools
gave further proof that there can
be no such things as separate but
equal" schools.
Friday night, May 20, witnessed
Carver High graduates being
granted awards and scholarships
with a cash value of about $780,
This was fine and applauded loud
ly, but the next day MAY 30), the
Gazette commented editorially,
that. the graduates of West Phoe-
nix High, had received awards
amounting to (S66,OOO) sixty-six
thousand dollars. Just think how
much greater it would have been
if graduates of all races could have
competed for these enormous
awards given at West High, a
school labeled, in effect, "for

On the Air

Our old friend, the conference
operator, was with us again the
other day. The message was
here on the desk right after
lunch-she always calls when
you're out to lunch, that one.
Call the New York conference
operator" it ordered impor-
family.
| There was only one thing to
do. We had our girl Betty call
the New York conference opera
tor. She came back quickly with
a disconcerting, though not en-
tirely unexpected reply.
There are a whole lot of New
York conference operators" she
said, "but they all say they never
heard of you" We took conSola-
ton in Somerset Maugham's ad-
vice that a message to call some
body on an important matter
meant it was important to him
and went back to work
1t didn't take long. The phone
rang and it was that New York
conference operator, undoubtedly
one who had been out to lunch
when we called her.
"Will you be at your telephone
at 4:3O this afternoon?" she
wanted to know. "Mr. Mooberry
wants to talk to you" This
seemed fairly implausible, but we
assured the N. Y. C. o. that we'd
be here, eagerly awaiting word
from her. And eagerly awaiting
word from Mr.. Mooberry, OF
course.
At APT pm. by the clock on
the old Post Office Building,
which takes a continual loose
guess at the time, the telephone
rang.
"Will you hold the line, please,
for Mr.. Steve Aliens conference
call?" the N. Y. c. o. asked pref
tily. We said we would and sat
here wondering what they'd
done with good, old Mooberry.
At 4:30 the girl was back. Sorry
to keep you waiting" she said.
"We're trying to get the other
parties"
Those "other parties" we could
have told her, were Stan Ander-
son, who had fled to the sanctity
of the Cleveland Press Club at
the first hint that the N. Y. C. O.
was on his trail. Another five
or six minutes passed and our
arm went to sleep. We were
about to hang up when the re-
ceiver was filled with voices.
The faintest one identified
himself as Henry Mooberry and
he said he had said he had Steve
Allen and Jayne Meadows there.
Mr.. Allen had written play
called "Flamingo" and he and
Miss Meadows would appear in
it next Tuesday tomorrow. that
Isl on Danger" Was every
body with him?

Assurances came loud and
clear from a girl in Minneapolis
and another in indianapolis or
some such place. Cleveland's Mr..
Anderson apparently had been
successful in his evasive action.
Don Kirkley sounded no farther
away than Baltimore, which was
not particularly puzzling, since
he was in Baltimore. Mr.. Moo
berry introduced Mr.. Allen. One
of the girls out in the Midwest
wanted to know how he had
found time to write a TV play.
Stayed up late a couple of
nights, Mr.. Allen replied. How
long had it taken? 1t took only
two nights to write it. said Mr..
Allen, but it took longer to cut
it down to a half-hour.
II can't hear you," shouted

Steve Allen Wrote a Play,

girl in indianapolis, banging our
ear drum.
"Is this any BETTER" shouted
Mr.. Allen right back, deafening
us.
"It is not any BETTER" shouted
the girl in Indianapolis or the
girl in Minneapolis. II can't hear
a word you're saying"
This went on for some time.
Minneapolis was coming through
fine. So was indianapolis. So was
Mr.. Kirkley. So was Mr.. Allen.
But they weren't establishing any
rapport with each other. We
hung up.
Shortly the telephone rang
once more. 1t was dear, dear
N. Y. C. o. again. Were going
to re-establish your CALL" she
said. Determined girl. She did
it, too, and another voice came
on from New York. They've got
Mooberry again, we thought
darkly. This new man said he
was Johnny Peyser, director of
Danger"
He demanded a roll call and
everybody but Anderson was on
hand again. Allen was in re-
hearsal, he said, but he would
be there in a minute. Meanwhile
were there any questions? The
girl in Indianapolis declared
that she didn't know why they
had called her because this
wasn't in her department, but
she'd take notes. Finally Mr..
Allen returned.
GAS I was saying" he said,
"it took me only two nights to
write this, but it took about two
weeks to cut it down to al half
hour. 1t was written for Studio
One" What drove him to the
writing of a television play, Mr..
Kirkley wanted to know.
WELL" Mr.. Allen replied, "I
wanted to write a role for my
self and Jayne once told me
she'd always wanted to play a
Chinese girl" Mr.. Kirkley went
after the facts. From Mr.. Allen
he learned that the comic was
doing a lot of other writing, "but
you won't see anything of it for
awhile" This includes, Mr.. Allen
said, two books-one novel and
the other an analysis of the
humor of various television
comics.
From Miss Meadows Mr..
Kirkley elected the admission
that she had been born in China,
that she had left at the age of
seven and that she had learned
to speak Chinese before she
learned to speak English.
"Ought to be a great help in
Chinese restaurants" he said.
"It isn't" she replied. I'm
Chinese restaurants they speak
Cantonese and the dialect I
speak is closer to Mandarin"
Kirkley got Allen back on the
wire and drew from him the
statement that of all entertain
ment endeavors he found TV
more advantageous financially
and almost every other way
except artistically." Mr.. Kirkley
suddenly reversed his field.
Hey" he yelled in the direc-
ton of Washington, you're max
ing me do all the work. Don't
you have any queStions?"
The girl in Indianapolis advised
that she was taking notes on all
this.
"Ask him if this play is bigger
than a breadbox," we said softly
and hung up. Then it was too
late to ask the question that had
been on the tip of our tongue a
few minutes earlier. Whatever
happened to Mooberry?

and he added that nobody knows anything
about it."
All OF this is hard to reconcile with the
record. In one of three statements on Russian
atomic experiments, the late Joseph Short, then
press secretary, announced on October 8, 1851:
Another atomic bomb has recently been ex-
ploded within the Soviet Union" AS recently
as January of this year, in his message on the
state of the Union, Mr.. Truman declared: From
1945 to 1949 the United States was sole possessor
of the atomic bomb" The inference seems plain
enough, when this is related to the White House
announcement in September 1919, of the first
Soviet atomic explosion.
Any attempt, however, to reconcile Mr..
Truman's various statements over the past eight
years would be wholly unrewarding. Nor, in this
instance, would there be much point to it. The
evidence, according to those who should know,
points overwhelmingly to the conclusion that
Russia has the A-bomb, and most people are
prepared to proceed on that assumption. Why
Mr.. Truman chooses in his on-the-cuff manner
to dissent is hard to understand. For the chief
result his statement will have is to encourage
the sentiment here and abroad to the effect that
we overestimate the Russians, that they are not
as dangerous as we think, that we can safely
afford to ease up and slacken the pace of our
tainly does not subscribe to this view and that
makes his egregious A-bomb comment all the
harder to understand.

'Operotion Smack

It is not surprising that the Communist
Daily Worker is trying to reap propaganda
harvest from what has been billed as Opera
ton Smack" One does not have to be either
a Communist or propaganda, however, to
conclude that Operation Smack" most GER
tainly reflects no credit on those who staged it.
The operation was planned as combined
attack by allied units in Korea on Communist
held position known as Spud HILL The invited
guestS-two lieutenant generals, a major general
and press representatives stationed as
observers in sheltered spots. Seven-page pro-
grams with a three-color cover, and called
Scenario" were distributed. The allied in
fantry, tanks flame throwers, artillery and
planes were sent into action.
Operation Smack" did not go according to
plan, for the allied forces, after almost reaching
their objective, were hurled back with heavy
losses. The point is not, however, that the
operation failed. The point is that Operation
Smack smacks altogether too much Of some
bodys brainStorm. 1t is necessary in war to
send men into battle, knowing that some will be
killed. But there is something thoroughly
repugnant about the spectacle of sending men
to their deaths in an atmosphere seemingly
designed to create kind Of Hollywood concept

Mr.. Trumon's BIockbuster

Harry s. Truman's talent for saying the
wrong thing seems to have followed him out of
the White House and all the way home to
Missouri.
The former Presidents latest foot-in-mouth
exhibition came in the shape of this statement
to an International News Service reporter: II
am not convinced the Russians have achieved
the know-how to put the complicated mocha
nism together to make an A-bomb work. am
not convinced they have the bomb"
The blast effect Of this statement in Wash
ington was almost as great as that which might
have been expected If the Russians actually
had dropped bomb on the apital-assuming,
of course, that they have no A-bombs to drop
on us. Three members Of the Joint Congress
sional Committee on Atomic Energy said there
is "indisputable evidence" that the Soviet Union
has the A-bomb. A spokesman for Chairman
Gordon Dean of the Atomic Energy Commission
said Mr. Truman must have been misunder-
Stood pointing out that Chairman Dean had
said on January 2 1851: Russia does have the
bomb"
Mr. Truman, however, had not been mis-
understood. Questioned in the light of official
reaction to his earlier comment, he stood his
ground. The ms story had quoted him correctly.
He is not convinced that Russia has the A-bomb,
