MMovR fans may expect a baraee Of
lVA Hollywood pictures made III the Far
East. A dozen location companies have
recently returned from the Orient. As
many more are planning 10 90 there.
Hollywood has definitely discovered the
Orient, and only about $50 years after
Marco Polo.
Japan and India are the favored coun-
tries. They have thriving movie industries,
available technicians and facilities = and
they make more pictures each than any
country in the world except the us.
Twentieth Century-Fox is the Hollywood
company most given to adventuring in the
Orient One producer on that lot. Buddy
Adler C'From Here to Eternity'') found
himself involved in four films in row that
had Oriental backgrounds.
Three Soldier Of Fortune with
Clark Gable; Love IS Many-Splendored

Robert Stack and Robert Ryan - were

except that the location was China, behind

"And If We were going to fake the back

For novie-goers who like their film
stories spiced with traveiogue. some Of the
films on tap should be sheer delight. 'House

Three Coins in Fountain" did for Rome,

The Impact of Freedom

The world was bankrupt Of freedom
when the bell in the tower Of Independ-
ence Hall in Philadelphia gave voice on
that July day in 1776, to the Biblical
injunction: proclaim liberty to all the
earth and to all the inhabitants thereof"
France, the greatest and richest Of
European nations, at the moment was
moving headlong into conditions which
shortly would yield the Terror. England,
misruled by opportunists under SOW
ereign afflicted with hereditary madness,
was prosperous only in spots and then
only at the expense Of her dependencies.
Germany, divided and still suffering from
the Seven Years War, served Frederick
the Great simply as personal conven-
ience. Austria, even with control Of Italy
and drawing upon Poland and the Bal
kans for substance, was preparing for
the disaster of further conflict with
France. Poland, in turmoil, was soon to
be distributed to powerful and selfish
neighbors. Russia, under the tyranny of
Catherine II. was being extended with
no profit to her own people. Sweden,
with GustavuS III on the throne, was
languishing in the black shadow of re-
established despotism, while Denmark
and Norway sank deeper and deeper into
distress under the nominal rule of de-
ranged King Christian VII. The Bour-
bonS mismaIlaged Spain and SPANS
seething colonies Switzerland, perhaps
the happiest of all contemporary coun-
tries, nevertheless was troubled by can
tonal rivalries and strife between aristo-
cratic and democratic groups. The
Helvetic republic was not to be organized
until 1898.
1t was dream, then, that the
Signers of the Declaration proclaimed
to mankind. Few, indeed, must have
been the people who, 179 years ago,
understood the full meaning of the af1r-
nation that "all men are created equal"
and endowed by their Creator with GER
tain unalienable rights" including life,
liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
Granted, such ideals had been asserted
by the ancient Greeks and in the Judaic-
Christian scriptures, they everywhere
long had been in eclipse. It fell to
George Washington and his associates to
give effect to a, conception Of human
society which even now is mere aspira-
tion, dangerous to indulge in the greater
part Of the globe. Our annual celebra-
tion Of the Fourth Of July is an acknowl-
edgement of their example and their
achievement.

Good Field, No Hit

1t was one OF the first and most
accomplished OF Latin American major
league ball players who coined about Is
years ago the capsule description of "good
field. no hit" for teammate. But now,
full 116 years after Abner Doubleday
laid out the first baseball diamond, an
optical manufacturing firm has built an
instrument that shows why a ball player
may be a good "glove man." or even
good pitcher, but not be able to 'hit
his weight" It has to do, not surpris-
ingly, with ear-sightedness, far-sighted-
ness, depth perception and-particularly
In the case Of pitchers-with how well
his two eyes work together. Pitching, it
seems, calls for greater teamwork" be-
tween the two eyes than does hitting.
For three seasons tests have been
made with device known as an Ortho-
Rater on players Of the Rochester Red
Wings. The year-end averages have
tended to bear out the Ortho-Raters
findings on "why Johnny can't hit"-or
can. Disclosure Of this advancement in
science should put on guard any mana
ger trying to make deal with the Red
Wings: Get the ortho-rating on your
prospect! AS for umpires, what they can't
see, and why, is obvious to everybody.

tial-and may pest be guaranteed by
keeping its political control IN the hands
Of London.
Even so, the three powers involved
are friends and aIlies-joined In the net
work Of treaties built around the NATO.
The Cyprus issue has become an irritant
in this otherwise friendly relationship
threatening to match the bitterness Gre
ated by the British troubles In Iran and
Egypt. These were resolved, even though
belatedly, by negotiation. Prime Minister
Eden's government is displaying praise
worthy craftsmanship In proposing now
that some mutually agreeable policy on
Cyprus be sought by the three interested

The Senote's S Leader

The brand of Senate leadership ex-
ercised at this session by Senator Lyndon
Johnson was effective, as the records
show. But it called for more energy and
unceasing effort than any man can ex-
pect to exert without injury to himself.
and 1t has been without doubt con-
tributing cause of the Senator's illness.
He put more into his job, from early in
the morning until late in the night, than
anybody could expect. He was not sat
isfied with giving direction to the move
ments of his Senate partisans. He sup
ported every decision in that respect with
personal persuasion-one result Of which
was to produce rare degree of party
unity.
The hope expressed now by so many
Of his friends, regardless of their party
Affiliations, is that a man who has such
rare gifts of self-dedication to the job at
hand will exert them now in one direc-
ton, and allow nothing to interfere. The
important thing is his recovery His own
solicitous cooperation with his doctors
to that end should provide the needed
medicine.

Ladies' Right and Left
Speaking In Toronto, Canada

Speaking In Toronto, Canada,
recently, Mrs. Eleanor Roose-
welt referred to the OAR as
an organization composed Of
"superpatrfots." That, I sup
pose, is intended to be bad.
No one can truthfully ac-
cuse Mrs. Roosevelt Of being q
"superpatriot." For example,
following the announcement Of
the Truman doctrine to resist
communism everywhere In the
world, she wrote in MY Day"
on May 8, 1947, II think we
can see the possibility Of Inn
proved cooperation between
the communism Of the left and
the democracy Of the center,
but there can be no co-opera-
tion at any point, at any time.
between democracy and the
fascism Of the right"
The OAR need not worry
about Mrs. Roosevelt's re-
marks. for 1t is an organization
that follows the footsteps Of
the founding fathers. And
since when has II become q
disgrace In America to be o
"superpatriot." Our founding
fathers were and 20 Is OAR. It
is o great tribute. We need the
OAR and other patriotic or
ganizations like it.

Promise on Cyprus

\ Britain'S invitation to Greece and
Turkey to discuss the problems Of Cyprus
strikes new and promising note in Lon
don't foreign policy respecting the Medi-
5terranean-Middle East area. The prom
Use, in brief, is that another protracted
and bitter dispute-such as the Anglo
sIranian and nglo-Egyptian controver-
sies-may be averted by a relatively early
effort to negotiate settlement Of an issue
involving familiar complications Of emo
tionalism and national pride.
In short. the Cyprus question is this:
Since 1878, the island has been under
British control and 1t has the status Of
a Crown Colony today. OF its half
million population, approximately 80 per
cent are Cypriots of Greek ancestry with
almost all the remainder being Of Turk
ish descent. During the postwar decade,
agitation has increased for annexation
OF the island by Greece-the movement
being supported by most Of the Greek
Cypriots and by the Greek government
in Athens, and opposed by the Turkish
Cypriots and by the Turkish government
in Ankara. The Conservative govern
ment of Sir Winston Churchill refused
fatty to negotiate on the subject and
denied the right Of any outside govern
ment however friendly, to interfere with
the sovereignty Of the British crown"
The Importance Of Cyprus as Middle
East command base, replacing Suez, was
emphasized by British quarters in assert
Ing the island must remain under un-
qualified British rule.
A solution satisfactory to all parties
will not be reached easily. The Greek
aspiration is an understandable one In
terms Of emotionalism and national
pride. The Turkish. opposition, that

having to change its citizenship, likewise
is understandable. For Britain, and

VISTAS IN SCIENCE
Alcohol Researches at Yale
By THOMAS r. HENRY

Beer Is not intoxicsting-
mathematically. Such Is the
conclusion Of DR.. Leon A.
0reenberg. associate professor
Of physiology at Yale. It's
almost. II not quite. impossible
to drink enough beer to put
enough alcohol In the blood to
constitute legal drunkenness,
he has reported to the Yale
Laboratory Of Applied Physi-
ology. center Of alcohol studies
In this country.
DR.. Greenberg's report has
just been published In the
Quarterly Journal Of Studies
of Alcohol--but before pub
lication It was submitted for
comment to Q philosopher. a
school superintendent, Q psy-
chiatrist and q lawyer. They
came back with somewhat
conflicting views.
Drunkenness Defined

DR.. Greenberg says, are in
general agreement that. ex-
cept In quite unusual In
dividuals, q concentration Of
alcohol in the blood Of at
least is Of one per cent is
necessary to affect q persons
behavior to q degree constitut-
ing intoxication. From this
basis he draws up q Finger
print Of alcoholism" for the
three classes Of drinks-hard
liquors, wines and beer.
For hard liquor. OF course,
there is no question. Almost
anybody can drink enough Of
it in q relatively short time to
be drunk" in anybody's
Judgment. Mathematically
it's q little more complicated.
Says DR.. Greenberg: "In
the average person the amount
of alcohol required to cause
a concentration in the blood
Of is per cent is eight fluid
ounces. Thus a half pint Of
whiskey consumed at once may
cause intoxication. But pev-
erages usually are consumed
over q period of time and,
since alcohol disappears from
the body at an appreciable
rate, the time spent, in drink
ing must be taken into con-
sideration. The rate Of elm
ination is practically uniform
and is equivalent to about
one ounce Of distilled spirits
per hour.
"Thus to achieve intoxica-
ton in two hours of drinking.
10 ounces are required and, II
the drinking lasts four hours,

For fortified wines contain
ing 20 per cent alcohol the
amount contained in a pint
must be present in the body

lent to two ounces each hour.

Good Work in the House

1t is highly gratifying that the
House, by an emphatic vote of 156 to 105,
has now reversed the action it took in
May when it adopted an amendment to
prohibit segregation in the National
Guard-a non-germane amendment that
had threatened to kill of congressional
enactment this year of vitally needed
legislation to expand the Nations mill
tary reserves.
The bill finally approved by the
House contains no such amendment, and
the way thus has been cleared for favor
able action on it in the Senate. Senator
Russell, chairman of the Armed Services
Committee, has indicated that he wants
to make at least one major change In it
change designed to provide more COM
prehensive exemptions for ex-Servicemen
but there is ample reason to believe
that this will not create serious legis-
lative obstacle. In short, judging from
present Indications the President should

have to increase our trained and ready
military reserve from 100000 to 80 mill
lion men by 1860.
I This projected expansion is thing
of such crucial Importance to our
national security that there has been
no Justification for the effort to make
it conditional-or to block it otherwise

provision After all, understandable
though it may have been, that effort has

n. Winship WheotIey
First Of all, H. Winship Whe

First Of all, H. Winship Wheatley was
a scholar. His love Of learning was the
basis OF his life. Skilled equally In Latin,
Greek and Hebrew, he valued the classics
as practical aids and helps in his own
career. Nature gave him exceptional
stores OF energy for the work he was to
do. Thus it was physically possible for
him to be busy lawyer, a teacher,
civic and religious leader coincidentally
and with thoroughness. He not only was
tireleSS. It was characteristic Of him
that ne strove for and generally attained
perfection In even the smallest and least
consequential OF tasks. In this lay the
secret of his eminence in many different
fields.
But Mr.. Wheatley had distinctive
qualities which the public rarely knew.
He was willing to sacrifice himself to the
advantage Of worthy cause. His mind
was equitable. There were two sides to
every case, he said, and there could be
no just decision unless both were fairly
considered. His love for children mott
waited his philanthropieS. In his home
and IN his office he was an inspiration in
the ancient patriarchal sense. Yet. he
always was young In spirit. The legends
associated with his name were many, and
they will speak for him far into the
future. Perhaps the last Of these tells
how in his final illness he called for his
copy Of the Confessions of Saint Angus
time and read again the finest passages
In that book-the tribute of the cele-
brated Doctor Of the Church to his
mother.
