determine the way each fabric re-
acts to heat.

she mentioned that only In Key

closer to Washington than this
town. Over a series of vacations
in Key West she had been able to
observe four Presidents. Her story
received favorable comment and
quite a few out-of-town letters in

.Acheson SAYS
Unity Problem
Can Be Solved

WASHINGTON R-Dean Ache
son, winding up four years as Sec
rotary of state, said that he was
sure the formidable difficulties in
the way of Western world unity
and strength can and will be sur
mounted.
In a farewell news conference
he gave that answer, based upon a
review of progress and troubles
in the Western alliance against
Soviet communism, when he was
asked what he thought about new
French efforts to amend a treaty
which would permit West German
rearmament.
Atcheson opened the conference
with some ideas which he said he
had jotted down on his years in
office. He said he was deeply
grateful for the complete loyalty
which had existed between himself
as head of the State Department
and President TT. nan.
For the regime of Secretary-des-
ignate John Foster Dulles Acheson
said he was asking something be-
yond goodwill and a fair chance.
He also told reporters not to think
badly of his successor If some
times the new administration
seems to be acting like the out
going one because tradition is
strong in the State Department.
Acheson seemed in excellent
spirits. He WAS grayer of hair than
when he \ succeeded George C.
Marshall as secretary Of state in
January, 1919.
He told questioners that on the
Friday after Inauguration he viii
go to New York and attend a din
ner to be given by friends there.
On the following Sunday, he win
fly TO the island of Antigua in the
West Indies where he viii spend
two months on vacation. He then
expects to return to Washington
and resume his long-interrupted
private law practice.
In his discussion Of the develop
ing unity of the Western world,
Aqheson said he thought there are
clouds on the horizon in Europe
But he added that there is much
greater awareneSs in this country
of the dangers of the situation.

Day OF Metal
Shortage Is
Running Out
By SAM DAWSON

NEW YORK R-The days of
metal shortageS-and controls
are running out.
Steelmen say that most manu-
facturers of household appliances
and even of autos may soon be
able to get all they can use. The
accent will be on finding custom
ers for their products rather than
on finding materials.
Aluminium production is about
to be stepped up again.
Steel controls are about to be
misunderstanding to reports from
Washington-with larger quotas
for makers of civilian goods.
And many manufacturers are al
ready stepping up their own pro-
duction quotas because they feel
that materials controls will be a
thing of the past shortly and that,
therefore, they can borrow now
from anticipated supplies.
Copper remains the tightest of
the metals-but even there the sup
ply situation is Frightening some.
Part of this better picture in
metals can be traced to successive
stretch-outs in defense production
goals. The military are taking less
than was first anticipated when
controls were set up.
Part is due to the great push
up in the producing capacity of
the metals industries. Expansion
programs are being completed and
new output started.
Steel mills this week are turn
ing out the greatest volume Of
any week in history, according to
the estimates Of the American
Iron and Steel Institute
In the last three months of 1852
the mills turned out almost % mil
lion tons of steel, two million more
than in the same period of the
previous year.
Still a third reason for indus
try's shifting outlook on controls
and supplies is the firm belief o.
many businessmen that the time
table of ending controls viii be
stepped up smartly with the
change in the White House mex
week.
Businessmen, therefore. ars
changing their own plans. They
are reported today by Iron Age
national Woodworking weekly, tc
be setting their production goals
much higher than their present
steel quotas would justify.
AT the same time, they are pol
ishing up their sales technique fol
the buyers market ahead.

People from out of town as well
as many locals have asked me
how to go about getting publicity
Tor various organizations to which
they belong. 1t seems like every
one in creation belongs to some
social, civic, or religious group.
1t might be well to devote a col
umn to publicity" though it will
necessarily have to be an opinated
one and you can take it for what it
is worth.
First of all, don't try to over
play your ability. If you have a
story which is really big, contact
the Editor and ask for a reporter
to be sent out. If pictures are in
volved, ask for the photographer
too. Oftentimes you viii be able
to do the story and it will be
sufficient to merely request a
photographer. One word of warn
ing = don't become over-enthusi-
astic and think that every occa-
sion warrants top coverage. If you
do you will put yourself in the
same situation as the boy who
cried wolf too often.
Photographers and reporters
work in close cooperation, so don't
try to tell them their business.
At the Citizen while l was working
as a reporter, Ellis Finch and /
were often separated by the width
of room or auditorium but he
watched me closely to catch any
signal for a quick ''Shot''. BY the
same token, often Finch'S flash
bulb would go off and I'd know
that he had found a fresh item or
angle to a story and my notes
would have to be more ample at
this point to cover his picture.
If you are writing the story
yourself, lead off by smacking
your readers between the eyes -

create any emotion that viii
make them read further. If the

night, don't simply lead off with
that bare statement. Perhaps Joe
Blow is an enthusiastic member
and viii give you permission to
quote him saying: "Joe Blow has
announced his intention of desert
ing his wife tomorrow night at
least for two hours - if she does
not accompany him to the 80 &
g. meeting -" You can be sure
that some headline writer. weary
of the usual heads, win top the
story with something like Joe

HAL
BOYLE
SAYS

NEW YORK TILT is getting har-
der every year to sell the Brook
Ign Bridge.
One explanation for this along
Broadway is that the country is
running short of local yokels, who
always have been willing to buy
the Brooklyn Bridge before. An
other theory is that they are just
putting their money in other things.
But the local yokel viii always
have a firm, affectionate place IN
any history of American folk lore.
From the dawn of our nation he
has been the favorite target OF
anyone with a rascally idea.
What was he like-this local yo-
KEEL?
He is generally pictured as an
uncouth rural boob with straw
sticking from his ears, a big slack
jawed fellow with heart of gold
and a head of ivory. His life was
governed by an unconscious deter
mination to prove that fool and
his money are soon parted.
His most striking characteristic
was childish gullibility, quality
that sometimes made those who
robbed him feel kind of liking
for him. He, had a blind faith he
could do anything, and a perfect
belief that anything a stranger told
him was true, particularly If the
stranger wore an imitation diam
ond stickpin and gold and ruby
ring.
It was the local yokel who was
always sure he could beat the shell
game or the fixed roulette wheel.
|It was he who spent his weeks
wages knocking wooden milk bottle
off a platform at carnival, and,
went home happy with his prize
a two-bit chalk doll.
Whenever the medicine show
came to town, he stood in line to
fork over a buck for two bottles
one free-of DR.. Salubrious Quacks
snake oil remedy made from an
old Indian formula, guaranteed to
cure everything from foot itch to
a broken heart"
Others might discover the RENE
dy was nothing but bad-tasting
mixture of creosote and water.
Not the local yokel. The next time
the medicine show came along he
bought four bottles. He knew what
was good for him.
Everytime the local yokel went
to town he got stuck. Whenever a
crowd gathered around pitchman
on the pavement, the local yokel
joined it. He went for the fast
patter like bee to4a ripe clover.
"And, now, gents, step right up"
said the pitchman. Who stepped
up? Why, the good old local yokel.
Whatever the pitchman was sell
ling-oil stock in Timbuktu, or a
razor blade to last forever he
bought it. And he stepped back,
broke but happy. The only thing
that really angered him was to
pay $50 for a machine that makes
81 bills-and then discover later
that the blamed thing had broken
down.
Whatever became of this local
yokel? He seems 10 be a dying
breed. perhaps educated out of his
credulity. The country pumpkin
more and more belongs to the
past. He has wised up. and now
knows more than his metropolitan
neighbor.
When / suggested this to an
