NEW YORK.
Everybody should sympathize
with Eddie Foy. jr.. the soft
shoe funny man who has had
stage fright for AZ years.
Like mumps and measles.
every guy and gal sometimes
gets into . situation that
brings on that clamny sweat
and mental dimout. whether
it's reciting in school. address
ing the lodge or dancing In
the town minstrel. Most folks
snap out Of 1t after the first
attack.
Not Eddie Foy.
I'm always nervous before
the show. Every performance.
/ guess that's why I got
stomach trouble" says Foy.
Then SO no one need get too
alarmed, Eddie adds:
II freeze up maybe for two
minutes before I go on. But
it never hits me out there"
Teeth Also Hurt
Somewhat irrelevantly Eddie
then broods: Il got trouble
with my teeth, too"
Eddie currently is playing
in 1.-THE Pajama Came" q
runaway musical romp. In it,
the most famous of the Seven
Little Foys" Of yesterdays
vaudeville brings to bear all
the polish. timing and comic
knowhow that have given Joy
to millions In 10 stage shows
and Is movies.
Nary a trace Of stage fright
-or sore teeth.
But let no one think the
offStage F0y Is q melancholy
Italo-1 rish-American. Eddie
talks about a happy miscellany
including a new tan Cadillac
("it's not gaudy, just dirty"),
his all-time favorite show be-
fore the present item, and 49,
year-old Eddie Foy III-"a
real hambone. He steals all
my material"
Looking back over the years
since he was first pushed on
stage in 1912 to sing in a New
Rochelle, N. Y, benefit show,
the warmest glow lights Eddie's
eyes when he recalls Victor
Herbert's Red MIL"
It's unending
cts still going to be going
strong when they're all dead
around here" Foy asserts.
In addition to his "Pajama
Game" chores, Eddie also Is
helping out on the film Bob
Hope is making about the life

child OF Carleton D. Smith,
NBC vice president in charge
Of the networks Washington
radio and television stations.
He has had 1t In mind for
some time, but held 1t In
allegiance until q good viewing
period could be made avail
able.
Execution Of the idea was
placed In the hands Of Stuart
Finley. who handles myriad
production chores and the mar
ration. The TV director Ii
Frank Slingland, responsible.
according to Mr.. Finley. "for
anything creative you saw"
Ken Williams Of the WNBW
staff was assigned the chore
of editing the Aim. H. q. Og-
den of the United States Pub
lie Health Service took over
the writing Of the narration,

a Public Health Service prof.
ect, but the station star ID
getting full cooperation from
Public Health. from the In
terstate Commission. on the
Potomac River Basin and
from others interested. It II
q shocking story they all have
to tell.
1--WE wanted to hit 'em over
the head with . baseball bat
on the farst show" Mr.. Finley
was saying the other day. and
it must be said that the OBJ
jective was achieved. BY the
end Of that half hour he must
have had all viewers with him
softly singing River, Stay
Way From My Door," This
member Of his audience Is not
even sure the bridges are high
enough.
1t was q well-done docu-
mentary program. with . skill
full blend of film. narration
and interviews. Those adding
: authoritative comments were
william H. Cary, IT,, Of the
District Department Of Public
Health; Mark Hollis, chief en-
gineer Of the Public Health
Service, and Larry Fisher. di.
rector Of the Potomac River
Basin Commission.
Well Written
The interview portions Of
the program we're less impress
sive than the rest Of 1t. This
was not the fault Of inter-
viewees or interviewer. but
could be blamed on some Wis
ual aids that turned out to b
mot as much aid as expected.
Mr.. ogder's narration was
q fine. effective piece Of writ
ing. sometimes even q poetic
one. Mr.. Finley's delivery
was expertly keyed. Neither
writer nor narrator, dealing
with q sensational subject,
was overly sensational In
treatment Of 1t. They left Il
for some excellent. though not
very pretty. films to drive their
story,s impact home.
This first program In the
"Our Beautiful Potomac" Sc
ries confined itself largely to o
clear statement Of the prob
lem. . large and serious one.
Subsequent programs win ex-
anime pollution upstream. look
into what Is being done about
the whole problem, what can
be done and what ought to b
done.
This Is truly using television
IN the public interest, and all
hands involved at WNBW are
to be saluted for it. 4

CHALLENGE TO FREEDOM
SOMETHING IS happening to freedom il America.
Many serious and thoroughly contentious citizens, incud=
ing representatives Of every profession and calling. are most
concerned, and have taken occasion to express their views.
WHILE THERE have been no spectacular, sweeping,
or dramatic changes 50 as to startle the population, neyerthe-
less, there can be no gainsaying the fact that freedom has
undergone 50 many changes that there can be no more mini
MIXING Of it.
LITTLE b LITTLE certain rights and privileges, even
those guaranteed in the Constitution of the United States
are being given new Interpretation and treatment. Little by
little matters heretofore taken for granted now become the
subjects of serious consideration. People do not speak as
freely as they once did, nor do they write as they once did.
That there has been a whiting away Of what was once
cherished freedom of movement and thought there can be no
denial.
"A FEW examples. should suffice. Employment in gov
eminent, while always a privilege, is much more SO today
Not only is the civil servants loyalty to his country the key
question Of the closest scrutiny, but under the latest interpre-
tation Of directiyes, his private life may also be subject to
review and the employee may have to account for it, for il
may now be shown that the employees social and personal
activities tend to make him undesirable. The latitude Of this
type Of review is Imitless, and perforce places the employee
in an ndefensible position.
THE DIPLOMATIC corps is particularly subject to the
shifting sands Of political freedom and the treatment Of this
group Of civil servants brings into sharp focus the precarious
position Of these employees.
CASE Of John Patton Davies, dismissed from the
foreign service for lack Of judgement and reliability has car

four Presidents and seven Secretaries of State, and with two
more years Of service to assure a pension, he is out Davies

D IN the United States, no tone attempts to Join
any organization, even the most reputable ones, without first
checking to see if the name is not among those classified as
subversive. The only trouble with this is that membership may
still be dangerous since the members remain liable if, even
years later, questions arise concerning these organizations.
And on and on the situation goes.
THE LATES directive to the US Military Academy
at West Point and the U. $. Naval Academy at Annapolis
have left many citizens in deep thought Student at these
two military schools are forbidden to engage in formal de-
bate on the subject Of whether the ". $. should recognize
Communist China. Regardless Of the reason given this direc-
tive cuts at the very heart Of free thought and discussion.
The fact that one side debates for it and the other against
it does not mean that either side is for or against only that
the advantages Of properly preparing and presenting q sub
iect for debate have unparalleled merit to college students.
TO-DAY, COMMUNISM has become such 4 political
football that the real issue and danger Of this scorge is being
missed. Any disagreement with, Of diviaion from some
body elses expressed views may promptly bring forth accuse
tons Of communism.
