appointment said, "Joe Bibb well
deserves the honor that has been
bestowed upon him. He has been a
constant and loyal Republican, one
of the few lawyers in Illinois who
has not at one time or another

ates on the now defunct Chicago
Whip, created the slogan, Don't
Spend Your Money Where You
Can't Work. and parlayed it into
national crusade which COM
pletely revolutionized the Negro's
economic life in the United States.
Bibb and the Whip didn't gain
much for themselves out of the
crusade in the way of material
profit, but they accomplished far
more than material gain. 1t was
that crusade of the 1905 which
changed the thinking of both Ne
groes and whites about the Negroes
place in the nations work force,
and paved the way for thousands
of new jobs for Negroes which
they had only dreamed of before.

Hollywood will be a long time
filming the improbable missions
performed by American forces in
World War II. It comes up with
another stirring one, however, in
Destination Cobb" which opened
today at the Columbia theater.
This is a recall of the expert
ence of U. S. Navy group which
set up weather reporting sta
tion in the Cobb desert, as odd a
job as ever fell to the lot of able
bodied seamen. AS top man on
the expedition, Richard Widmark
survives drubbing which shows
the horrors of war follow fighting
men wherever they may go.
While it is based upon official
records, it is not clear just how
close Destination Cobb" sticks to
them. There are numerous in
timationS that movie formula in
fluences the screenplay for all it's
documentary form. It is these
which often reduce the picture
to merely routine level despite
the uniqueness of the situation
which it dramatizes.
Weather reporting from the
Cobb. which was vital to North
Pacific operations near the close
of World War II, was a many
faceted adventure. Sailors who
could take the worst buffetings of
the sea, and the Japanese fleet,
suddenly found themselves fight
mig the vast loneliness, heat and
SandStorms of the desert. There
was always also the danger of
Mongol nomads and of discovery
by Jap air patrols seeking out the
stations.
For months, however, this op-
Grafton was not merely suspense
full but successful.
It is a generally realistic job
Director Robert Wise does of
picturing this off-beat military
venture. Neither he nor his
Screenplay insist that it was all
narrowing. Widmark and his
weather crew found life occa-
sionally humorous, dealing with
the Mongols and flirting with
the one pretty girl in a neighbor-
ing tribe.
Moreover, they had one hila-
rious aside. This was when they
upset the Navy all the way to
Washington by ordering so cav
airy saddles with which to bribe
the Mongols to join Americas
war with Japan. It is this deal,
incidentally, which ultimately
paves the way for the groups
hair-raising escape and more
than repaid its cost in conster-
nation to the Navy's highest
brass.
Twentieth Century-Fox has a
worthily warm feeling for the
novelty of Destination Cobb" as
a screen theme. It has cast the
picture well with such other per-
formers as Don Taylor, Casey
Adams, Murvyn wye, Daryl
Hickman and Ross Bagdasirian.
AS for the setting, it has found
one in the adjacent California
desert which will be completely
convincing to any one who has
never seen the Cobb. And maybe
some who have.

"Cheri," Colette's unabashed
novel of amour involving a
spoiled young aristocrat and a
fading society beauty, is the
basis of the new film feature at
the Little theater.
It's popularity as a movie is
unlikely to equal that of the
original for despite its titillating
theme, it comes off as a tedious
and melancholy affair. AS di-
rected by Pierre Bollon, "Cheri"
is a period piece that follows
with too painstaking fidelity a
tale of decadence that is more
elf-conscious than is warranted.
Marcelle Chantal and Jean
Desailly play the oddly mated
lovers of "Cheri" and their per-
formances leave no detail of
their fatal affair untouched.
The picture begins with their
meeting, he a bored young man
who has found promiscuity tire
some, she a grand cocotte re-
signed to the end of a long
reign in Paris society.
In the minds Of both, the af-
fair is destined to be tentative.
Both, however, turn out to be
wrong. Cheri is to learn that
there is no escape for him. even
in marriage to the icy young
beauty, Edmee. On her part.
Lea discovers that her humilia-
tions at Cheri's hands are to
continue until the day he dies.
which happens to be the one he
sees her unadorned as an old
woman and decides to take his
own life.
For all its repute as a wise,
warm novel, "Cheri" films as a
pretty dreary business. j. c.

Military men hereabouts are
wondering why re-enliStmentS
are so few and why officers
aren't choosing a career in the
armed services, and why mo-
rale is low. Maybe the answer
! is to be found in the lack of
forthrightneSS by so many of
our military officers of high
rank, who seem to have come
to believe that if the Depart
ment of State, under Secretary
Acheson or anybody else, tells
them to suppress the truth
from the American people
about the way our soldiers
have been treated by the enc
my, they must keep silent and
do nothing about it.
How much longer will Amer
lean boys be drafted and or
dered to fight, while the use Of
weapons and military tactics
are dictated by diplomats here
and overseas?
This question deserves a
Congressional investigation, if
indeed chairmen of armed
services committees have the
temerity to expose the mistakes
of bureaucracy.
The facts that have come
out show that on November IS,
1851 Col. Hanley, then sec
tion chief in the Office of the
Judge Advocate General of the
Eighth Army in Korea, issued
a statement charging that the
Communists had killed or
starved to death tens of thou
sands of prisoners of war of all
nationalities, including about
5000 American soldiers.
A furor ensued in Washing
ton and London. Why wasn't
Col. Hanley censured? Some
United Nations ambassadors
wanted to know if the report
was issued to delay the truce
talks. Gen. Ridgway, COM
mander in chief in the Far
East, said it wasn't Col. Han
ley's responsibility to issue the
report, but he did say that it
was possible that more than
5000 Americans listed as miss
ing may have been captured
and killed by the Communists.
Finally, on November 27, 1851.
Gen. Ridgway admitted the
total of Americans killed in
atrocities as numbering 6,27O.

MADRID, Spain-CBy Air
MaiD-The signing of the
Spanish-American agreement
for naval and air bases gives
the Spanish people the COM
forting feeling that they are
now associates of the United
States in the struggle against
the Communists.
Visits to this country by the
top men in our national de-
fenSe, such as Admiral Arthur
sRadford, Chairman of the
Joint Chiefs of Staff; Secre-
tary for Air Harold Talbot:
and Gen. Nathan Twining,
chief of staff of the Air Force.
strengthen the conviction of
the people of this country that
they are henceforth on Amer
ica's side more than the treaty
itself did.
Insofar as we are concerned,
the much delayed Spanish
American agreement secures,
for any eventuality, the West
ern Mediterranean in the same
manner the Eastern Mediter-
ranean was secured when we
decided to help Turkey.
After the end of the war
Spain received only kicks from
the free Western world. Any
idea that this violently anti
Communist country should be
allowed to join in the Western
defense system was violently
rejected not only by those ide-
ologiStS who considered the
Kremlin as the cradle of mod
ern democracy, but also by the
top men in the previous ad-
miniStration.
Democratic and Republican
members Of Congress who saw
more clearly the facts of life
in the struggle against the
neo-imperialism of Moscow
and authorized credits for
Spain were rebuked by the
Truman=Acheson administra-
ton.
1t is true that under the
impact of public opinion at
home the negotiations for
Evening star., 1953-11-02

naval and air baSeS-which are
now expected to provide a
much closer collaboration be-
tween us and Spain-were
started under the previous
administration. But their
progress was slow because they
were conducted in the spirit of
the lazy unemployed man who
upon leaving his house in the
morning to seek a job fervent-
~ hopes he cannot find one.
The firm belief of the West
ern European and American
left wing ideologists that
Francisco Frances regime
would collapse under the i'm
pact of economic distress has
never materialized.
Until 1850 Spain was sub
jected to an unofficial eco
nomic blockade. Yet by strict
economy measures and by
Tightening its belt it was able
not only to survive but to heal
most of the severe wounds of
a bitter three-year civil war.
Oranges, jerez wine, olive
oil and the abnegation of the
Spanish people," say those who
have had the difficult respon-
sibility of guiding the economy
of Spain during these painful
years, have permitted this
country to save herself from
another social upheaval which
Moscow and its friends in the
West hoped to bring about"
There has been no UNRRA,
no Marshall Plan, no MSA nor
any other form of American
aid for this country. Yet to
