room at Warmers where she is

q hard time getting back into

Virginia was wearing a period
costume but I could see that she
wasn't a pound overweight. I
asked for her secret Of regaining
her perfect figure.

MY doctor gave me a wonder
full diet. 1t was not difficult to
stay on it because I was allowed
enough so that I was never hun

tening recipe.

It took sheer will power to do

added.
How long did you have to
exercise?"
Daily Exercise
"Only 10 or Is minutes" Vir-
GINA explained. But it's doing
the exercises every day which
gets you back into shape"
We were interrupted several
times with people telling Vir-
GINA about changes in the shoot
ing schedule and all through this
she sat so calm and undisturbed
that I remarked about it.

gested. "if you'd tell how you
accomplished this"
lone of the main troubles is
that people try to do too much
in q day. They don't allow enough
time between appointments: they
go rushing around so that at
night they are simply exhausted.
There is nothing quite as extrav-
agant of our energy as working
under tension. When you are not
rushing, much more can be ac-
complished in much less time.
Working Bockwords
Every few people know how
to plan so as to be on time. I find
it helpful to work backwards
to see how long it's going to
take to get there, how long it
will take me to get dressed and
then I add on few extra min
utes for accidents, such as a
run in my stockings or an un-
expected telephone call.
, Another thing to avoid if you
want to be relaxed is allowing
trifles to annoy you. People are
always getting upset over things
which don't matter, like some
one cutting in front of you in
traffic. A sure way to develop
heart trouble is to have an anita
gonist attitude or a quick tenn
per.

Experts Study
Trondheinn Route

STOCKHOLM-From the point
of view of preparedness it would
seem sound to increase the capa-
city of the route from Trondheim,
on Norway's Atlantic coast, to the
Swedish border, Foreign Minister
Osten linden said in an address
on April 2. Such an improvement,
he added, would have definite i'm
portance even in peacetime. At the
meeting of Swedish and Norwe-
gian Cabinet Ministers in Stock
holm March 1890 it was estab-
lished that the experts will be
able to begin their work.
Speculations about a change in
Sweden's foreign policy as a re-
suit of the Trondheim discussions
are, Mr.. linden emphasized, with
out foundation. There has been
a tendency to magnify this rath-
err limited question and to sur
round it with sensationalism.' 1t
is, the Foreign Minister added,
also erroneous TO believe that the
current Investigations would cause
a change in Sweden's naval pol
icy.
1t is, Mr.. linden further said,
not surprising that the policy of
neutrality has got such firm
grip on the Swedish people. "Any
other policy during the last few
decades would inevitably have in
vOlved us in war. Sweden's geo.
graphic and strategic position di-
rects us to pursue policy which
does not commit our country to
line up with one side or another
in our divided world. Nor do we
wish to enlarge the areas of fric-
ton between the Great-POwer
blOcs"
The military-technical develop
ment has made Sweden's position
more exposed than before, the
Foreign Minister went on. The
new technology is sometimes pre-
sented as motive for a change in
our foreign policy. The latest de-
velopment in the field of aviation
and nuclear weapons is said to
offer strong reasons for a policy
of alliance. However, the rapid
shifts in armament technique from
one year to another must not lead
to corresponding switches in our
foreign policy. 1t must remain
constant"

School Of Dronu
University of Washington

For the first time on the Am
erican continent, the University
of Washington School of Drama
will present Johann Sigurjons-
sons THE Wish,' at the Univer-
sity Playhouse. Seattle, on June
8, and S. This presentation will
be produced, costumed, lighted,
and directed by Miss Sherry Sell
fors in partial fulfillment of the
requirements for the Master of
Arts degree in drama.
Sigurjonsson, Iceland's foremost
dramatist, wrote THE Wish" or
Loft, the Sorcerer" in 1914. Or
iginally written in Danish, it was
later translated into Icelandic and
produced in Reykjavik on Deem
Der 26. 1914. Sigurjonsson wa S
born in Iceland in 1880, receiving
his preliminary education. there,
and later enrolling at the Uni
versity of Copenhagen. Marrying
a Danish woman. he resided in
Copenhagen for twenty years, dy-
ing in 1919.
The translation being used by
Miss Selfors was done by Mrs.
Jacobina Johnson of Seattle who
is widely recognized both in Ice
land and America for her trans
lations of Icelandic poetry music,
and prose into English. Mrs. John
son this year received one of the
Icelandic Government highest lit
erary awards.
Based largely on Icelandic folk
lore, and set in northern Iceland
of the early 18th century, the
play deals with a young man OBJ
| sessed with power and knowledge
who consequently delves int o
witchcraft. The use of power for
evil means can only lead to dis
aster, and thus Sigurjonssen
reaches to the human race and
its frailities in his highly moving
! drama.

In his address to Parliament on
the occasion of Crown Princess
Martha's death, Parliament presi-
dent Einar Gerhardsen observed
When the Crown Princess came
to Norway in 1929, we soon learn
ed to appreciate her wise and
dignified demeanor. During the
war, we received convincing i'm
pressions of her rich personality,
her loyalty and her strength of
character. She was one of those
who grew in times of adversely.
Gradually, most Norwegians
became genuinely found of Crown
Princess Martha, and even those
who never had the opportunity to
meet her, seemed to feel they
knew her personally. She was a
good wife and a good mother, as
well as a devoted daughter-in-law
and friend to the King. The en-
tire Norwegian people stand unit
ed in deep and genuine sorrow at
her death"
Speaking on memorial broad

purporting to show that some en-
ployers were acting to prevent AFL
longshoremen from working on the
docks.
Although the (New York; Ship
ping Association" a commission re-
port stated, "haS made a studied ef-
fort to give the impression that
their members were willing to work
their piers during the last
strike). in fact. most of them have
not been willing to work them ex-
cept with their old employees"
The commission cited alleged in
stances Of employer resistance to
other than LILA members; a refusal
to ask for dock workers, and "un-
realistic rigidity in standards for
accepting new men,"
The battle for waterfront CONTROL
began last September when the AFL
Ousted from membership the lila,
which was one Of it's oldest inter-
nationals. The AFL charged that
the LILA refused to expel racketeers
Evening star., 1954-04-04

from the ballot unless it ended the
current strike forthwith" The old
union, so far, has not backed away.
At this time. it is by no means
certain the lila will be smashed. It
is far from certain, however. that
the AFL could win the election.
One big reason for this is that
attacks from all sides have created
a sort Of "under-dog psychology"
which is working in the interests Of
the lila. Numerous officials, par
ticularly Gov. Thomas E. Dewey and
Secretary of Labor James p. Mitch
ell, have denounced the lila and it's
officers, urging the rank and file to
turn to the AFL. The dock workers,
not overly impressed with the stories
OF violence charged to their union,
resent being told by Albany and
Washington just what union they
should Join. In its order for new
election. the NLRB noted that on
the waterfront Standards of de-
corum vary. and that the waterfront
is not Park avenue" Besides, the
ng-eStabliShed lila is the only
union the dockworkerS have known.
That the outcome OF the struggle
is by no means certain was evidenced
in pleas before the NLRB by attor-
neyS for New York State and the
AFL. In asking that the previous
election be set aside. they urged the
board not to hold an election imme-
dlately. They said TRANQUILITY
should return to the docks first.
There is no question that the LA
was corrupt and crime: ridden. A
good many of its officers were
racketeers, crooks or ex-crooks. But
by no means all of them are bad.
ana the vast majority of the rank
and flle have unblemished records.
Yet the blanket charges leveled at
the lila. the members feel. have
accused them of being thugs and
hoodlums. That has caused many
to stick with the old union.
The fight of the lila to keep
waterfront control has been A.
nanced. at least in part, by funds
provided by John L. Lewis United
Mine Workers through loans to
the union. Mr.. Lewis has held sew,
eral meetings with William Bradley.
the lila president and other officers.
The miners chief has said little.
But undoubtedly he has in mind
athllation of the lila with the UNIV
provided the old union can win it's
election battle.
On Thursday, Joseph Curran,
head OF the CIO National Maritime
(seamen) Union, stepped into the
picture. He charged an effort was
being made to load and unload ships
with noviceS, and gave warning his
union members would also refuse
to work If the practice was contin-
ued. That poses another serious
problem, because the NMU repre-
sents most of the American seamen
on the Atlantic Coast.
III any event. it looks like peace
is still a long way from the New
York waterfront.

Historic Dock Crockdown Under Woy

One Of the biggest legal crack
downs in history is underway in
connection with the 29-day long
shore strike which tied up the New
York harbor until yesterday. But it
is highly questionable If all Of the in
vestigations and court maneuvers
will bring peace to the waterfront in
the foreSeeable future.
The massive legal assault already
has crushed the strike which has
cost New York untold millions and
caused the diversion Of hundreds of
ships to other ports. Another aim
is to smash the hold of the inde-
pendent International Longshore-
mems Association on New York and,
incidentally. on other major Atlantic
ports.
The latest count showed three
Federal grand juries looking into
the activities of the LILA, it's locals
and officers. A fourth grand jury
probe will start Tuesday. It, in the
language Of Attorney General Brow
nell. will determine whether there
is an Illegal conspiracy" between
officials Of steamship companies
and stevedoring firms on the one
hand and officials Of the striking
LILA under which shippers refuse
to employ longshoremen affiliated
with the American Federation of
Labor" In other words, the jury
will look into possible violations of
antitrust laws.
To date, total of eight Federal
court injunctions or orders have
been issued in the bitter struggle for
control Of the waterfronts. In addi-
ton. innumerable charges of unfair
labor practices. violations of the
Taft-Hartley labor law, have been
filed with the National Labor Re-
lationS Board.
The full power of the Federal
Government, the State of New York
and OF the AFL has been unleashed
in the drive to smash the lila. Of
f1cials describe the organization as
a criminal conspiracy" rather than
a labor union. Just about every
crime in the book has been charged
to elements within the LILA during
the years 1t has maintained a
stranglehold on the miles of piers
in Manhattan, Brooklyn and North
Jersey, which make up the Nations
greatest port.
Wholesale indictments are ex-
pected as result of the work of
three grand juries which have been
looking into charges of violence and
various types of crime. These iuries
have been working for some time in
Manhattan, Brooklyn and Newark.
Perhaps the most interesting
grand jury probe is the one Just
announced by Mr.. Brownell. Evil
dence was introduced in past in
veStigations that some of the water
front employers had more than
a little to do with the nefarious
activities of the LILA. Recently. the
Waterfront Commission of New
York Harbor has compiled evidence

and unSavory individuals with Grim
inal records. A new union, also named
LILA, was set up to wean over the
dock-workers and the war was on
in earnest.
A Taft-Hartley injunction, request
ed by President Eisenhower, ended
waterfront strike for 80 days. Then
the National Labor Relations Board
held an election to determine
whether the workers wished to be
represented by the old lila or the
AFL. The old union polled the most
votes, but the election was challenged
on the grounds the voters were in
Inundated by LILA "goons." Last
Thursday the NLRB set aside that
ballot and said it would conduct
another when waterfront conditions
were more peaceful. The board also

of course. He is training his army,
latching onto all the American
military equipment he can get. and
talking to whomever will listen
about big push back to the main
land. For at least as long as
Chang Kai-shek is in charge on
Formosa, Communist China will
have to keep one eye cooked in his
direction.
And how long will that be-? Is
there any chance the Reds could
infiltrate his positions and over
throw him?
A few years ago Chang discovered
to his chagrin that his Minister OF
Defense was a Communist. But
that was the exception that proved
the rule, as far as Chang is con-
cerned. Nobody gives the Reds
much of a chance Of taking over
the Kuomintang on FormoSa, unless
the United States loses interest in
the island, which is unthinkable.
A Confident Mon
At sc Gen. Chang Kai-shek be-
haveS like a man who Is confident
in himself and knows where he is
going He doesn't knock down his
rivals, like his friend DR.. Rhee in
Korea. He promotes feudS between
them.
But the principal fact Of life in
Formosa today is that Chang Kai-
Shek is as much the one -and-only
leader of Nationalist China as he has
ever been. Men who know him and
work with him profess to think that
the problem of succession is ridic-
ulouS, because Chang is too healthy
and will last too long for such a
question to have meaning now.
Every one looks to him for the dy-
manic leadership to take the Ma
tionalist Chinese back to the main
land. slim as the prospects may be.
There has just been re-enact-
ment of the little playlet with which
Chang tries to erase the stigma OF
one-man government his enemies
attach to him. When the Central
NOkk1IIltUCC Vi tA1C 3A0OAA4AAVSbAA6p A0A-
ing group Of the Formosa govern
ment, convened in February. Chang
suggested that some other worthy
man be nominated as president. He
would be glad to serve. he said. "if
I am trusted" either as head Of the
armed forces or as premier. For
his job as president he suggested
DR.. HUI Shih, former Ambassador
to Washington, or Yu Yu-jen, head
OF the the executive council. The
Central Committee refused. Of
course. Only Chang would do. He
was reelected last month at Ma

think Chiang's oldest son, 1t. Gen.
Chang Ching-kuo, has a better
chance.
The struggle for future power in
Nationalist China is below the sur
face, of course. But sometimes it
gets conspicuous enough to get in
the way Of political and economic
progress.
Gen. Chen has a reputation for
being capable, hard working and,
what is more impressive in corrup-
tion-ridden Oriental politics, honest.
He is one Of Chiang's proteges who
has led armies in almost every part
of China since the days of the Jap
anese invasion. He was Minister of
War in 1944-45. chief of the gen.
eral staff in the bitter civil war days
from 1946-48. Later he went to For
moSa as governor to prepare the
way for Chang and his encourage.

son Ching -kuo. also has worked him

last few years. At Al the round

He reasoned that the REC
dared not lose him. their major link
with the people of Egypt.
The REC accepted the dare.
After an all-night session, Col. Mas
ser and the rest of the REC an
nounced on February 25 that Presi-
dent Naguib's resignation was ac-
cepted.
The scramble began.
Troops surrounded Gen. Naguib's
house. and the general stayed dis
creetly inside. But leaders of the
ARMY cavalry-the tanks-quietly
expressed their displeasure to Col
Nasser. He promptly had the army
artillery train their guns on the
tanks. In this tense atmosphere
thousands of demonstrators Stormed
through the streets, shouting sup
port for Gen. Naguib.
Col. Nasser, shrewd as always, saw
the handwriting in the streets. He
called Gen. Naguib back into the
government, reinstalled him as Pres
ident, and went through a public
handShaking with the general.
Cairo went wild. People who
wanted Gen. Naguib, but previously
had been afraid to demonstrate for
him, now took to the streets to ac-
claim Gen. Naguib and "his" gov
ernment.
Col. Nasser bowed to the dem
onstrated will of the people. Cof-
feehouse gossip in Cairo says COL
