is embarrassing to all.
For poise in action, celebrities
who keep calm in crises draw
ovations from any audience.
Example: In Dallas, Tex,

orchestra to stop and begin

When an embarrassing
mistake has been made, how
can you keep your poise? This
Is q question teen-agers often
ask. For answer, Cornelia
Otis Skinner, famous actress
writer was PACED. Here Is
what she says about this prob
blem:
''It's q big order. Kite.
Quite frankly, / can't always
count on my own poise when
I find I've made q boner. It's
one Of those hideous moments
when the social spotlight
sizzles upon you! My advice
to any panic-stricken teen
ager consists Of two don'ts:
Don't wiggle. Don't giggle.
"Also, three dos:
do try to calm yourself by
remembering that all around
you (adults as well as fellow
teen-agers) have probably
gone through identical anguish
In similar situations.
do try to appear relaxed
composed. even If you are not.
To stand or sit with good

to-heck-with-it attitude that
helps you to feel and give the
impression Of being a serene
person"
Just what is poise? It's what
helps you to carry OF any
blunder' or trying predica-
ment, with dignity and good
humor. Poise. by dictionary
definition, lis balance" "re-
pose" Poise is a big asset. It
can do as much or more for
your social rating and con-
fldeflce as clothes, looks, talk,
manners.
How can you acquire poise?
Preview things that could
happen and how to handle
them. Here are three solu-
tions for poise- shaking situa-
tions:

HOLLYWOOD
NOTES
Nv BOB THOMAS

HOLLYWOOD Up - Suzan Ball
leaves for South Dakota today to
star in her first movie since losing
her leg because OF cancer.
She will appear opposite Victor
Mature in 'Chief Crazy Horse"
her first movie role in a year and
a half. Her last was in another
Western, 'War Arrow" During the
filming of it, she suffered intense
pain. This was the start of her
battle with cancer. She lost her
right leg by amputation, but her
life was saved.
I visited Universal international
to see her ON the first day of her
return. The company was shooting
tests of wardrobe and makeup.
Producer william Alland told me
the role is a great opportunity for
Suzan.
''She is the only woman in the
cast" he said. "She plays the
sweetheart, wife and then widow
of Crazy Horse, who is Mature.
She has some very emotional
scenes and even goes through the
birth of a child.
"She shouldn't have any trouble
with the part. She doesn't have to
ride horseback or do any stunts,
except pull a man out of the river.
But we'd have Q double do that
anyway"
Just then Suzan drove up in her
sleek black convertible. She glowed
with obvious happiness over being
back at work. With black braids
and Indian makeup, she was start
lingly beautiful. She hoped ginger

crutches to her dressing room.

has all the qualities Of skin except

with it, even apply makeup. There
are no moving parts to get stuck.
l had hoped to have some time to
get used to it here, but I'll be able
to adjust to it in q couple of days
on location"
She said she is getting along
fine with her training to walk with
the artificial leg. She attends the
Peerless Limb School

now" she said. my only problem
was in getting my balance. It's
pretty hard after you've lost
weight on one side"

WASHINGTON R-Eisephower.
Churchill talks to open here late
next week seem likely to result in
positive steps to form a united
front against Communist advances
in Southeast Asia.
The decision of British Prime
Minister Churchill and Foreign
Secretary Eden to come here is
regarded by U. S. officials as a
decided break in favor of Ameri-
can efforts to get Southeast Asia
security pact as soon as possible.
President Eisenhower and Sec
rotary of State Dulles, officials
said today, will urge the British
leaders to agree to prompt consul
tation with about eight other ma.
tons having interests in the area.
That may mean the calling of q
Southeast Asia security confer.
ence. Whether it might lead also to
eventual American Intervention
side by side with other nations in
the Indochina war is not yet clear.
While the informal talks an.
nounced yesterday have no formal
list Of problems for discussion,
there is no doubt that If such list
existed Southeast Asia would be
the No. 1 item.
That problem and the related diff
ficulties which in recent months
have brought English-American
cooperation to new low point are
believed, in fact, to be the real
reason why Churchill sent word
several weeks ago that he would
like to come to Washington. He
and Eden are due June Is. :"
The No. item due to be ex-
plored will be the organization of
European defenses in the light of
the fact that the proposed Euro
pean Defense C o m m u n ity is
stalled, primarily by French re.
luctance to permit West Germany
to rearm.
What other problems will arise
in the meetings is not yet clear.
Undoubtedly considerable atten.
ton will be paid to improving Brit
ish-American relations.
That the talks will get the South
east Asia security pact efforts off

at this time. Britain has been one
of the keys to progress almost

 By all means, read the Port Authority Report as it is pub lished, but contain your anger, there is no longer need for ii. Read it, and weep, for the delu- sion of your neighbors who are being hoodwinked into paying out good money for bad advice.
 WHAT IS MORE TO THE POINT this week, we believe, is the proposal of the Governor, evidently approved by President Eisenhower, to partition Alaska for statehood to the populous sections only.
 It is doubtful whether a poll in Seward would show it very strong for immediate statehood, but it would certainly evidence strong opposition to any parti- tion or division of the Territory which would exclude the rich potential of mineral lands, de- velopment of which would con tribute materially to support of statehood when it is obtained. All Alaskans must join in ve- hement protest to Washington on any move toward partition of the Territory.

Editorial
By MEX

Many calls are received by this paper each week in objec- tion to the series of articles now running in the Anchorage Daily News on the Port Authority Re port. This is simply reprint of the report which was reviewed by this editor and which drew our criticism of March 12. Inas- much as the report was not fac tually true when it was compiled in 1852, and that since 1852 warehousing on Seward docks has been nearly doubled, thus alleviating to large extent the reports figures, publication of the report is serving a good pur- pose in Seward.
 It is keeping the anger of Sew ard people stirred to the boiling point, not permitting them to forget what some Anchorage businessmen have described as a tempest in a teapot That this also will have seriously detri- mental effect on the coming pri- mary election in which most of the candidates for election are Anchorage area residents may, or may not, be beside the point.

A brown man can fire a Stem gun

The British wanted to be loved
and were convinced that they were;
the Americans want to be loved
too, but are uneasily. distressingly,
conscious that they are not.
They find it hard to understand.
With their boundless generosity
they have poured money into the
countries which two disastrous
wars have reduced to poverty and
it is natural that they should wish
to see it spent as they think fit and
not always as the recipients would
like to spend it.
Gratitude Il Not Easy
1T IS true enough that the man
who pays the piper calls the tune.
but if it is a tune the company
finds it hard to dance to, perhaps
he is well-advised to do his best so
to modify it that they find it easy.
Doubtless it is more blessed to
give than to receive, but it is also
more hazardous. for you put the
recipient of your bounty under an
obligation and that is a condition
that only the very magnanimous
can accept with good win. Craft
tude is not a virtue that comes
easily to the human race,
