 Unless there can be diverted to the private line enough pas sengers to meet their needs, they are going out of business" Mag nuson said. "We must do some thing to aid. Apparently no help can be expected from the mili- tary unless we can form a change in policy, which we are prepared to do.'
 Jackson and Magnuson insisted that representative of the Mari time Administration, Interior and Defense Departments report to their departments that the con- ference expects them to work out plan for preventing stoppage of passenger service, then to report it to the senators.
 The senators declared they felt it matter of public policy to keep the Alaska passenger ser vice operating, and that if neces- sary it should be operated under a subsidy, either by diverting pas sengers from the military services or by an outright subsidy.
 No time was set for the depart ments to act, but the lawmakers stressed that prompt action was urgent.

Three Democrats Request Commerce, Interior and Defense Depts. To Insure Decent Alaska Passenger Ship Service

WASHINGTON, R - Three Democrats posed what they called the problem of providing "decent" passenger service to Alaska to the secretaries of Commerce, Interior and Defense Wednesday.
 The discussion came at meet ing held in the office of Senator Warren G. Magnuson, Washing ton Democrat, at which Senator Henry Jackson, Washington Dem ocrat, and Delegate Bob Bartlett, Alaska Democrat, participated.
 The members of Congress in- sisted that the territory is en- titled to ample steamship service to continue.
 One promise of support came from Brig. Gen. J. P. Doyle, chief of the Air Forces Transportation Division. Gen. Doyle said all Air Force personnel bound for the north will go via Seattle Nov 1. Many have been going north from San Francisco.
 However, Gen. Doyle and Vice Admiral Frances D. Denebrink, commander of the Military Sea Transport Service said regula- tions under which they operate would not permit diversion of enough passenger traffic to Alas ka Steam to enable it to continue passenger service.
 Magnuson said some way must be found to provide enough pas sengers to permit the line to continue operation of two smaller vessels in Alaska passenger ser vice.

UNIQUE PROBLEMS

Contrary to the belief of many people, the profits earned by the meat packers, measured percentage of their sales among the lowest for major indus try. That isn't because the packers any more charitabl than the rest of It is the result for thing, of the fact that packing is highly competitive enterprise which is 100 percent dominated by the natural law of supply and demand. And for another thing, the packing business involves some unique problems.
 packer, unlike most manufacturers, has stock pile of materials to fall back when needed He doesn't know from day to day how many animals will to market what he will have to pay for them Such unpredictabe factor as weather change the situation overnight In other words, no one has any control over the supply.
 To further complicate the situation, the packer cannot hold much of his produce for future sale About 75 percent of all meat is sold fresh meat It is highly perishable and must move promptly. This it must be sold at price that will attract buyers
 The proof is found in the figures. Over 28-year period 192552 the packers net profits averaged but one cent for each dollar of sales.

China Refuses Accept End US. Protest On Downing Of British Airliner

LONDON, R-R Red China has refused even to accept a second American protest against the shooting down of British air liner off Hainan last month, dip lomatic officials said today. Three Americans were among 10 per sons killed in the attack.
 The US. State Department dis closed July 29 that the Peiping regime had contemptuously turn ed down American protests on both that incident and a subse- quent fighter attack on two Am erican rescue planes in which the attackers were shot down.
 The protests were relayed by British charge d'Affaires Humph- rey Trevelyn. The Chinese would mt accept them from his hand.
 Informants here said Trevelyn had sought anew to deliver Wash ington's protest, but the Commun- ists refused for the second time even to consider it.
 The United States does not recognize Red China and has no diplomatic dealings with the Pei ping government.
 US. Secretary of State Dulles said Tuesday the Chinese had put themselves in the wrong by re- fusing the protests.

The Bowmans have seen Army
officers and surveyors poking
around the area since last sum-
mer.
"They said they couldn't tell
us anything for security rea-
sons" recalled Mrs. Bowman.
I'VE didn't get an idea what
they planned here until Febru-
ary when word somehow got
around that it was to be a Nike
station.
Mrs. Bowman heard from one
of her neighbors that Pope's
Head road should be the safest
place around Washington with
a Nike station in it's midst. But
she isn't convinced.
"There must be some danger"
she said. I'm case of an attack
certainly the enemy would try
to bomb this place"

A communications line between
the two installations is to pass
over the 60-acre DeBusk farm.
Orville DeBusk, who lives there
with his mother and brother,
seemed unconcerned as he paused
from working on his car to talk
about the Nike project:
II don't see where it makes a
great deal of difference. We
couldn't do anything about it if
it did. We're going to have an
other war anyhow. All the
countries are getting ready for
it,"
The most optimistic view was

yards from the site where the

Post Causes Stir Along Once Peaceful Pope Head Road
Some Fuirfux Station
Residents Scared;
Boy Sole Enthusiast
By Mary Lou Werner

& The once peaceful countryside
salong winding Pope's Head road
lin Fairfax County is astir over
the new Nike guided missile
station to be located there.
Some who live in the area are
frankly scared. Others are wor-
1ried about interference with tele-
vision reception. A few are phil
sosophical and unperturbed.
On one point they all agree:
The Nike project is going ahead
whether they like it or not.
The Government already has
legal possession of IL acres for
which condemnation proceedings
were filed in Alexandria Federal
Court on Friday. Another parcel
of slightly more than 13 acres is
being acquired by direct purchase
from the owners. Mr.. and Mrs.
Lewis K. Mattingly.
The two parcels are about
quarter of a mile apart, approx
.imately six-tenths of mile
northwest of Fairfax Station,
which IS about six miles south
west of Alexandria. The map on
file indicates that the Mattingly
property is to be used for the
missile launching station, and
the radar equipment for guiding
the missiles is to be located on
the property being condemned.
Ring of Posts Planned.
The installation is one of
ring of Nike posts planned
around Washington to protect
the Capitol from enemy air at
tack.
One already is under con-
struction at Lorton, Va, and is
repeatedly scheduled for COM
pletion in July. A mobile Nike
battery was set up at Fort Meade,
Md, several months ago for the
Baltimore Washington defense
area.
Construction is expected to
begin soon on about 40 other
guided missile installations in IA
critical defense areas of the
United States.
.- The number of batteries in
each area will range from four
to 16-or from one to four missile
battalions.
= Each missile battery probably
will have two concrete magazines
consisting of sound and ex-
plosion-proof launching control
rooms, an automatic elevator for
lifting the weapons to the sur
face for firing, and storage
spaces.
II Don't Like the Idea"
II wish they had taken all
of my property so I could move
further away" said Thomas L.
Watson who owns a small cor
ner of the land being condemned.
II Just don't like the idea of
living so close to something like
that. Suppose one of those things
went out of control and dropped
down"
Mr.. Watson said his house
would be only TOO feet away from

"Of course, they told me there
wouldn't be any noise," said Mr.
Watson. "I hope they are right"
Evening star., 1954-05-09

The Watsons' 8-year-old son
Rodger wasn't at all bothered.
He enthusiastically waved a
small American flag and beamed
at the thought of having so
much excitement in his own
backyard. The Watsons have
two other children, Jannelle,
16, and Leroy, II.
The major portion of the par
Gel being condemned for the
radar installation is owned by
the three LaDue sisters, who no
longer live in the area.
DR.. and Mrs. Moir Bowman
and their four children live on
a 100-acre farm that lies be-
tween the ssile-launching site
and the radar site.
"We're Caught in Middle"
"We're really caught in the
middle" said Mrs. Bowman, as
she gazed out her kitchen win
dow and pointed to the Mat
tingly farm where the missile
launching station is planned.
The Bowmans moved to Pope's
Head road four years ago from
Arlington County.
'We wanted to get away from
the city," said Mrs. Bowman. II
don't know why they didn't put
this thing in the woods away

It was vivid set of characters

The story of a gifted young

a far from pleasant one. Its

It just seems that young

Odets, of course, had never
heard of television when this was
written and a depression in

What this boils down to is that

Now every one will have 1t
straight about NAPOLEON.

Now every one Will have II
straight about Napoleon.
He was this bright Corsican kid
who looked like Marion Brando,
talked like a cross between
Claude Rains and Ronald Col
man, married Merle Cberon when
he might have chosen Jean Sim
mons, and finally became so dis
couraged that he gave France
back to the French. And, oh.
yes, he came back from Moscow
through the darndest blizzard of
blood-red snow ever filmed in
color.
All this and much else is made
Cinema Scopically clear in
"Desiree," the film version Of a
fat, spicy Annemarie Selinko
novel which opened yesterday at
the Palace.
It is the work Of Goth Century
Fox, which knows it has a hotter
version Of Napoleon's story, in
terms Of dividend prospects, than
If it stuck to history. History?
What's that?
"Desiree" gets its title from
the name of the girl Napoleon
loved and threw away before he
expediently married Josephine
whom he also subsequently threw
away. The fellow, you can see,
was as wildly unstable in love
as he was as sure-handed in mill
tary combat. It is the former
aspect of him that is played to
the hilt in "Desiree," a huge
romantic tapestry which insists
that France was at least exciting
under Napoleon.
Actor Brando, as confident as
Napoleon himself ever was, plays
the feverish central figure of
''Desiree' with pure gusto. He
has learned an impressive trick
of lowering his eyes until only
the whites show and he clearly
already was experienced in the
ones required to sweep desirable
females off their feet. .
CinemaScope is the perfecs
medium for Miss Selinko's gos-
sipy narrative. In it, Napoleon
becomes the giant he so embar-
rassingly was not in life and the
boudoirs and drawing rooms he
invaded look as large as the
Europe he brought to IT'S knees.
Pomp and philandering, an odd
combination, have never been so
extravagantly mixed as Director
Henry Roster manages in "Des-
tree"
The response of the major
performers in the film is every
thing Miss Selinko could have
asked of expensive actors. These
are offered a chance to run the
gamut of sin and shamelessness.
They seize it as if it might never
come again, as it we'll might.
Brando is the one who enjoys
himself the most, but Miss Sim
mons as the fiery Desiree is a
close second. Michael Rennie as
the noble Bernadotte fights for
every inch of CinemaScope ter
ritory, indoors and out. and Miss
Oberon as the discarded Jose
phine is unforgettable. Probably
not for the most hattering rea-
sons, however.
