cooler parts of the day. He would
rip off fast IS or 40 miles in
the early morning and then loaf
along for few hours and sprint
for another Is miles. When he hit
the keys with good safe margin
to win. his wager, he began to
loaf somewhat. He said that ped
alling the nineteen pound bike got
kind Of ..monotonous' after
while.
II was his first really smbi-
ficus cycling venture although
he has made > few trips through
New England and Cape Cod in
past years.
About the only really exciting
incidents to occur on the trip were
the times that he was run off the
road by passing trucks.
"They would sneak up behind
me and give me . blast on their
horns, he said. On other occa-
sions, he ran over snakes in the
road and one night bit a turtle.
Only mishaps were in Georgia
where he had repeated blow outs
due to the sorry condition of the
roads there.
He had several offers of lifts on
the way and he reported that they
were VERY tempting" But he did
not want to sacrifice the 5000 that
is being held for him in the New
York office Of his shipping COM
pany.

AZ the San Carries Theatre

The talent and personality Of
Danny Kaye is subdued, wistful
and lacking the merriment for
which he is famous in this role as
the spinner of fairytales who
falls h0pelessly in love with q
ballet dancer, Jeanmarie. Kaye,
changed though ne is in the film,
saves the day. Farley Granger,
far from all the things he's sup
posed to be in this picture is
rightfully relegated to a minor
part as the husband Of the
dancer.
Jeanmarie, his partner, spar
kles, tiptop, tiptoe, with French
vivacity and devastating charm.
The ballet di the mermaid who
fell in love with . prince and
other dance sequences allow her
to expand into her own field, but
even without the ballet insertions,
she fascinates.
Songs about 'sThe Ugly Duck
ling, THE Emperor Wore No
Clothes and group singing with
Kaye and captivating sms.. Gy.
are worth the entire lavish pro-
duction. The marketplace scenes,
the backstage ballet shots, the
village streets q. ara picturesque

in marvellous color. The show is
excellent for children but don't
expect to see a series of Ander-
sens tales string through the
picture. This is slant on the life
q the story teller himself, based
somewhat on fact, but mostly on
fantasy.

The Key West citizen. [volume] (Key West, Fla.) 1879-current, 1953-01-24
By JAMES NARROW

WASHINGTON Up - The an
nouncement that President Eisen-
hover viii hold regular news con-
ferenceS, as Presidents Roosevelt
and Truman did, settles the ru-
NOR that he'd hold few or none
at all.
Like Truman, Eisenhower in the
beginning may pull bonerS trying
to answer too much too fast. In
his early White House days Tru-
man tried to answer everything
yes or no. He had to learn to be
careful.
One memorable mistake was
when he told news conference
he had approved a speech by Hen
ry Wallace, then his secretary of
commerce. This caused ,interna-
tional confusion when the speech
turned out to be one criticizing
Truman'S foreign policy.
Later Truman explained he
had approved Wallace's right to
make a speech, not the speech it
self. Sometimes Truman got his
facts mixed up, then had to issue
corrections.
There was a time, right after
he got into the Wallace jam, when
it was thought here Truman might
call off the news conferences. But
as he became more cautious and
sure of himself he seemed to en-
joy them.
If Eisenhower should put his
foot in his mouth, or if he thinks
the reporters questions are little
too rough on him, he may get an
inclination 10 drop the conference
idea.
He's shown small enthusiasm for
news conferences. He held few dur
ing the presidential campaign and
none since the election except for
one in Korea where he wouldn't
permit questions.
But no president, particularly a
new one, can be expected to know
all the answers TO all the ques-
tons. He can say frankly he
doesn't know, when he doesn't. Or,
when he thinks it better not to
answer, he can say mo com.
meft."
The Key West citizen. [volume] (Key West, Fla.) 1879-current, 1953-01-24

A few years ago there was a
child crushed to death in the
cemetery by tombstone. Evident
ly, he and another youngster were
playing around the stone and ac-
cidentally knocked it over. This is
one of the reasons why children
shouldn't be allowed to play in the
cemetery. Even if they do not hurt
themselves, they might destroy
valuable property.
The subject is mentioned be-
cause of a complaint by a local
citizen who recently buried a loved
one. 1t seems that several little
boys, both white and Negro, we're
engaged in games during the burial
ceremonies. Their shouts and noise,
including their antics around the
hearse were - TO put it mildly -
intolerable. To make the situation
worse, several larger boys chose
this time to weave in and out
amongst the parked cars with their
bicycles.
"This Rock of Ours" doesn't pre-
tend to criticize the children. With
the passage of years, they viii
learn only too rapidly of sorrow
and death. However, the parents
of these children should make an
attempt to keep them from play
ing in the cemetery, whether a
funeral is in progress or not.
The sexton, Reggie Russell, isn't
to blame for the above conditions
because it would take a dozen
policemen to patrol the entire
cemetery. Only the parents who
live nearby can solve the situation
and prevent a repetition of such
embarrassing incidents.
Select Reading Material
Parents with growing boys and
girls might be interested in a new
branch of the Book-0 Of The Month
Club called Young Readers of
America, Inc" According to the
circulars which have been mailed
out, the new Club will select out
standing literature which viii ap-
peal to youngsters. Acceptance of
the book is a matter of choice of
course.
The Club seems to have develop
ed a wonderful idea which might
turn our youth away from the
popular comic books that dedicate
themselves principally to crime,
violence, and cheap horror stories.
Quoting New York Times his

Overdone, mo comment" could
make news conferences useless. 1t
must be assumed any president
who holds conferences at all will
answer what he can within limits
of reason and security.
A president isn't doing newsmen
favor by holding conferences.
Without them, he could become iso-
lated from, and insulated against,
public thinking in a hurry.
News conferences let him pump
his ideas out to the public regu-
larry, and give him the benefit of
public reaction. At the same time,
through the newSmen, the public
can quiz him on his decisions and
intentions.
News conferences are one way
to keep the President and the peo-
pie from getting too far apart and
out of step.
Eisenhower seems to realize, be-
fore holding even his first White
House conference, that he can't
be expected to know in detail the
answer to all the questions flung
at him.
His press secretary, James Hag-
erty, said yesterday Eisenhower
may bring into the conferences
with him members of his Cabi-
net, the department heads, who
can help answer questions.
In Britain the Prime Minister
and his Cabinet have to answer
questions put to them in Parlia-
ment, face to face, by members
of the House of Commons.
From time to time it has been
suggested mere that the President

news conferences than any other
! member of Truman's Cabinet.
