BY BOB THOMAS

HOLLYWOOD 1.-THE news that
Jimmy and Tommy Dorsey are
forming a band together caused a
stir in musical circles. Folks are
wondering if the boys have mel
lowed enough to get along on the
same bandstand.
The Dorseys spent most of the
first 40 years of their lives fighting
with each other. A fright in 1885
broke up their first band together.
But perhaps Jimmy and Tommy,
40 and Al respectively can play
in harmony now.
Music fans hope so, particularly
those who recall the great Dorsey
bands of the sos and 4O'S. The
two Shenandoah, Penn, boys have
added much to the legend and leg
acy of popular music.
James Francis Dorsey was born
into a coal mining family two
years before Thomas Francis Dor
sey. But as they grew up, Tommy
was the one who started the fights.
He was excitable and aggressive.
Jimmy was shy, but had enough
Irish in him to fight back.
Their coal miner father, a self.
taught musician, instructed them
in the cornet when they were five
and seven, and in 1872. they joined
some friends in leaving town to
try their luck in the music world.
Their first job paid $285 week
for the whole band in Baltimore
park. The DorseyS' luck improved
in New York. where they played
with the Paul Whiteman and Vim.
cent Lopez bands. But Tommy
wasn't happy.
"We're suckers" he'd say. eve
should have our own band"
mo-" said cautious Jimmy.
"We're making good money. Be
satisfied"
Tommy won out, and they
formed the Dorsey brothers or
chestra, which had such stars as
Glenn Miller, Charlie Spivak. Ray
Mckinley, Bunny Berigan and
Bob Crosby. Despite their success,
the brothers titled constantly.
On the night of May 80, 1885, the
band was playing the Glen Island
Casino in New York. Tommy start
ed the beat for 'I'll Never Say
Never Again" Jimmy didn't like
the tempo and said so. Hot words
followed, and Tommy stalked off
the bandstand. He never returned.
''Pm going to start my own
band" Tommy vowed. 81 won't

omy and sound military planning
should be tied in together.)
The difference between what
Eisenhower is talking about and
what the Truman administration
was talking about may lie in
Eisenhower's use of the word
maximum.
Maximum preparedness would
call for about mobilization which
was what was not done or planned.
But at the same time Eisenhower
announced that, whereas Truman
had asked Congress to appropriate
81, 900, OOO, 900 for the fiscal year
starting next July, he hoped to
ask for only $64, 4oO, O0O, 900, a cut
of 81a billion dollars.
But there is difference between
what Congress votes in the way
Of money to be spent and the
amount of money actually spent in
a year. Congress may cut appro-
priations 812 billion or more for
next year and yet the spending
next year may not be reduced
even half that much. This is the
reason:
There is a backlog of contracts
which win be filled in 1854 and
which viii have to be paid with
money appropriated by Congress
in previous years. For example,
the government can't, with money
appropriated by Congress in one
year, order tanks that year and
get and pay for them next year.
The tanks may not be ready for
two to four years.
The point is that Congress some
years before voted money to- pay
for the tanks when delivered. The
appropriation cut mentioned by
Eisenhower may be felt a year
from now rather than next year,
which would mark a real leyeling
off of the defense program.

sy JAMES MARROW

WASHINGTON M-When this
country began to mobilize after
the outbreak of the Korean War in
1850, there were two schools of
thought on how it should be done.
Some people, exasperated at the
Communists and worried whether
worse was coming, wanted about
mobilization, with the armed
forces built up tremendously and
fast and the whole economy turned
to defense.
Others, including former Presi-
dent Truman, felt the Russians
weren't yet ready for a world war
and that this country could build
up to preparedness at pace less
than about and still keep the
economy close to normal.
That was the plan adopted and
mobilization began. The basic in
tention was to produce arms, in
crease the size Of the armed forces
and get factories built or ready in
such a way that if war really
came they could 60 about quickly.
The years 1854 or 1855 were con-
sidered possibly critical years. So
the defense build-up was aimed at
being ready by that time. But the
spending on defense was not to end
then. Members Of the Truman adj
ministration said this country
might have to keep prepared for
a generation.
Yesterday President Eisenhower
had a news conference, described
beforehand as momentous, and
was very critical of the Truman
defense program. He called it a
"crazy-quilt''.
Eisenhower called his policy a
radical change.
"This policy" he said, twill not
be tied to any magic, critical year
which then has to be stretched
out because of economic or pro-
duction problems, but will be
based on the sounder theory that
a very real danger not only ex-
lists this year, but may continue
to exist for years to come"
But where there is radical"
difference between this viewpoint
and the Truman administrations
viewpoint is difficult to see, al
though the President may at a
later date explain more fully what
he has In mind.
The Truman administration had
talked of building up by 1854 or
1855 to a point thought safe and
then continuing to keep the coun.
try prepared.
Eisenhower was asked how his
ong-range policy differed from
Truman's. He said: If we have
maximum figure at a certain date,
how can we level out and main
tain what we must do in orderly
fashion without making the eco
nomic factor secondary.

When you get older, the place
where you live takes on new i'm.
portance. You'll probably spend
much more time there. Its equip.
ment for making life physically
easier becomes a big factor.
Perhaps you'll continue living
where you've always lived. Per.
haps you'll move into smaller
quarters. Maybe you will move to
state with mild climate like
California or Florida. Maybe you'll
decide on a home for the elderly
where everything is tailored ia

Suppose you lean towards NOV.
ing to another state. Sociologists
advise thinking it over carefully.
True, you may get more agree.

your house and the like.
But against these advantages
you must place the possible i'll
effects of pulling up your roots,
leaving your circle of friends andi
and contacts which may make il
easier to get part-time work if you
need it.
A very new practice followed in
some industries provides prere.

want to do.
It's been found some types of

have no difficulty in establishing
themselves wherever they 60. The
counselor helps the worker to know
which type he is.
Another factor to be considered
is the amount of money you will
have for your support. If your
retirement will reduce your in

into consideration in planning
where you will live. The big hard
to-heat house with a large yard to
keep up where you reared your
family may be impractical for you
now.
1t might be wise to do a little
shopping around before you settle
into any one honestly as a
temporary visitor at first one and
then another to size them up from

your mind.
The new trend in building inst.
tutions for the aged is towards a
more honey, domestic setting.
Individual rooms should have

should be large and furniture
should be of the type found in a
home rather than the kind asso.
ciated with institutions.
1t is recommended that at least
some rooms in an old peoples
home be only partially furnished
so the occupants if they wish can
decorate with their own familiar
possessions.
Any place where an old person
lives, from his own home to an
institution, should be extra well
heated and free from drafts. PEG.

NEW YORK, Feb. 28.-Topped
by big Walter Dukes of Seton
Hall. Three players from the
Atlantic Coast and two from the
Pacific Coast were named to-
day to the 1858 Associated Press
All-American collegiate basket
ball team.
Selected with Dukes, who is
6-foot-11 were Johnny O'Brien,
5-foot-9. from Seattle Univer-
sity; Bob Houbregs, 6-foot-7. Of
the University of Washington;
Tom Cola, 6-foot-6, of La Sale
College and Ernie Beck, 6-foot-4,
of the University of Pennsyl-
vania.
They were chosen by a vote
of 201 sports writer's and broad
casters from every section of
the country.
Their selection emphasized the
tremendous improvement in their
play this season. Only a year
ago when the 1852 team was
picked. Dukes, Cola and Beck
rated no better than honorable
mention. O'Brien and Houbregs
got sufficient votes to place a
notch higher-on the third team.
Now O'Brien and Houbregs are
the first players from the Pacific
Coast to win a f1rst-team berth
on the Associated Press ALL
America.
On the basis of five points for
a f1rst-team vote and two points
for the second team, Dukes
dominated the balloting. The
