CHARM
Bv Lou LuTOur

NEW YORK,-Is it charming
to join in with common talk
concerning anyone, or anything
in which you do not have a
part? Certainly not, because
talk soon becomes gossip, and
gossipers are never charming.
There is a saying that goes "A
still tongue makes a wise head, .
and we all would do well to re-
member it when tempted to
ioin in a conversation the aim
of which is to criticize. In fact,
it is well to say, think, and do
only good. In that way there
will never be anything to be
sorry for. In these days when
there are so many interesting
things to discuss, idle chatter
is unnecessary. We hould never
be at loss for something to
talk about. At any rate, let's
never join in loose talk about
others.

on the toe, for instance, or an
ingrowing nail, or a stubbed
toe: any OF these seeming tri-
files will cause youtolimp.Who
ever saw a beautiful, graceful
woman with a limp. "Perfec-
ton is not a little thing but

Private's Tale Of Life
Aiding Eastzone Reds
BY the Associoted Press

BERLIN, Dec. 16.-The prose-
cution rested its case today
against United States Army Pvt.
Robert D. Blevens after intro
ducing written admission by
the Nebraskan that he worked
for the Russians in East Berlin.
A general court-martial is try
ing the 29-year-old defendant
from Omaha on charges of de-
serting twice this year to the
Communists, breaking out of a
United States Army stockade,
conspiring to lure American serv-
icemen to the Soviet zone and
consorting with Red secret po-
lice.
Pvt. Blevens admitted in a
signed. f1ve-page statement that
last spring he worked at the
heavily guarded Soviet head
quarters at Karlshorst in East
Berlin. One of his tasks, he said,
was to copy various United States
documents in longhand. He said
he also was shown American
military shipping documents and

Got Vodka and Apartment.
In the written statement, Pvt.
Blevens said the Russians gave
him money on several occasions
as well as champagne, vodka,
beer, food and an apartment in
East Berlin. He added the Reds
told him before he went to the
east zone in February that he
would be treated like a king"
He acknowledged that he
wrote an article on communism
which he said he copied from a
book by Maxim Cork. He said
he was told by the Russians to
continue to write with John
Peet, former chief correspondent
in Berlin for a British news
agency who went over to the
east in 1850.
He told of then spending three
weeks at BautZen, near the Czech
border, where his hotel and other
expenses were paid by the Rus
slams. While there, he said, he
signed a paper giving Peet au-
thority to make changes in his
articles.
Arrested Later.
He returned to the west zone
for a brief time. Then he re-
turned to the East, where he was
arrested by the East German
security police (SSD) last sum-

have been advanced to turn over
the Federal highway program to
the 48 State governments" they
said. 1T is uncomfortable that
Congress would ever approve
legislation Of this kind. Develop
ment of our unified Nationwide
network of interstate highways
fundamental to national defense
and to the economic life of our
country, is only practical under
Federal supervision and match
ing of funds"
The memorandum to the Presi-
dent also pointed out that many
war production facilities over the
country are not now paying local
taxes because title to the plants
is vested in the Federal Govern
ment. The mayors asked the
administration Ito sponsor legis-
lation authorizing payments in
lieu of taxes by the operators of
these facilities"

Mayors Hit Congress
For Public Apathy
On Civilian Defense

The United States Conference
of Mayors last night blamed
Congress for existing public
apathy" on Civil Defense mat
ters.
The mayors, called to Wash
ington by President Eisenhower
for a meeting on national Sc
curity, included the criticism in
recommendation to President
Eisenhower.
They asked the President to
renew his requests to Congress
for greater funds for not only
the Civil Defense program but
for slum clearance and urban re-
development, and for the Federal
highway program.
Existing public apathy" the
mayors said on the Civil Defense
situation, can be attributed
mainly to thefact that today the
Legislative Branch of the Gov
ernment has not taken Civil De-
fense seriously"
Need Affirmative Action.
If there is to be an adequate
Civil Defense program next year.
the mayors said, there must be
affirmative action by the next
session of Congress on budgetary
recommendation to be sumbit-
ted by the White House.
City and State governments,
the mayors told the President,
also have grave responsibilities
''for the protection and care of
their people in the event of any
