the wisdom Of what is being
considered.
Another approach being
considered and bills have
been introduced in Congress to
promote it's enlistment of
Congress. the representatives
of the people, by creating a
Joint executive legislative
commission to organize civilian
defense and industry dispersal
programs. The theory is that
Congress would thus be giving
its backing to the executive
branch and that, in turn,
would influence the people
that Congress represents and
lead them to accept and fol-
low joint executive Legislative
planning.
Another idea is to enlist our
big cities that are centers of
defense industries to develop
their own plans for dispersal
OF industry and then cooper
ate with the Federal Govern
ment to carry these out. We
already have started on plant
dispersal. Since 1852 the Fed
eral Government has been
granting certificates for quick
tax amortization on new plants
of a million dollars or more
in value which follow the dis
persal plan of building 10
miles or more outside the city.
The ten mile dispersal plan
originally was embraced in
the so-called Project East
River developed in the Tru-
man administration. About 80
per cent of new plants since
have complied with the dis
persal plan.
More and more in the high
councils OF Government is
there an inclination toward
more Federal Government in
itiative and responsibility in
civilian defense and dispersal.
This is because of increasing
evidence that it will take firm
leadership from the top to
get our people moved to ac-
ton. They want a demonstra-
ton from their Government
and their President that what
they are asked to do is abso-
lutely essential.

ducing the salary of the Sec
retary of State to what it was
before Mr.. Knox was desig-
mated. There has always been
a question as to whether the
spirit of the Constitution was
complied with in that instance.
"One may conceive of great
abuses which might arise did
this prohibition not exist"
writes Thomas J. Norton in
his book on the Constitution.
"Of course, after the term of
a Senator or Representative
has expired, he may accept the
office created during his term
or the office the emoluments of
which were increased while he
was in Congress-.
All this is related to the de-
termination of the founding
fathers to keep the legislative
and executive branches of
the. Government separate.
Thus, the Constitution pro-
vides further that mo person
holding any office under the
United States. shall be a mem
ber of either house during his
continuance in office"
1t cannot be said that even
these constitutional provisions
have prevented attempts by
Presidents to dominate Con-
gress through the dangling of
prospective appointments be-
fore members in order to win
or hold their support. Again
and again in the cloakrooms
of Congress. whispers have
been heard that so and SO was
going along with the adminis-
tration because he was expect
ing sooner or later to be ap-
pointed to a lifetime iudgeship
on the Federal bench. And
this has been rumored under
both Democratic and Republi-
can administrations. Certainly
the recent pay raise elimi-
mates that form of pressure
for while anyway.

There's one thing we do
easily in this atomic age. That
is to shoot off another big
apple every few days out at
Yucca Flats. New. Just what
that proves nobody bothers to
tell us. We are, of course. only
the potential targets if the
world suddenly goes crazy-or
rather its few rulers who hold
the fate almost literally of
civilization-and plunge us
into an atomic war.
They've become routine,
these explosions. No longer do
they chill the blood as did the
earlier experiments.
Yet these pieces of concen-
trated hell, these bombs. and
the radiation that goes along
with them and poisons the
atmosphere - they are, we
now know. dangerous and can
spread death and destruction
for miles around. The Atomic
Energy Commission finally
broke down the other day and
told us how broad and long is
the path of death and injury.
But. when it comes to maxi
ing plans TO protect ourselves
in civilian defense and to pro-
tect our industry. essential to
defense, by dispersal from our
big urban centers. the high
policy makers are confronted
by several mental hazards.
Their dilemma symbolizes this
strange era in which we are
living.
These prob e m S probably
properly would require robots
with mechanical minds rather
than human beings with hu-
man minds.
It's hard to believe 1t, but
in this atomic age. with the
problem as big a one as
survival of a nation, you find
the policy-makers still daunt-
ed by the bugaboo of States
rights and about how far the
Federal Government should go
in making plans and trying to
impose them on our citizens.
Another sticking point is how
far we can go with detailed
plans for evacuation Of cities

RICHMOND, Mar. 8.-The

Court decision and held that the
County Board can legally impose

The Supreme Court upheld the
Circuit Court, however, in the
lower court ruling that out-of-

exempt from the county tax.
The Circuit Court had held such

HOLLYWOOD.

HOLLYWOOD.
I'm not working for money
now. I'm doing things that
will make me happy"
Claudette Colbert thus sum-
med up her absence from
Hollywood movies for the last
two years. We were sitting in
her spacious living room. look
ing out on her pearl-lined
swimming pool. Recently
Claudette turned down a three
year television series that
would have paid her approx
mately $4,000 per week. But
! just couldn't see sacrificing
everything else-my picture
career, and the chance to do
q play on Broadway, plus big
one-shots on television."
One other reason for refus-
ing the TV series-Claudette
put her still pretty foot down
and positively refused to puff
her sponsors product. I'm an
actress, not a huckstress," she
.. reasoned.
81 I asked Claudette why she
stayed in Europe so long when
she has such a beautiful home
here.
A Total Loss
81 when I went to England
to make one picture I ended
up making two. which took
me eight months. I then kept
! being pestered by different
| agents and producers, telling
| me to stay there 18 months
more, and get out of paying
the large taxes. I knew this
sort of thing didn't work but
I let myself be talked into it
and it didn't work. Congress
made the law retroactive, and
I not only didn't make money
or pictures to increase my
prestige, but I ended up with
out any knowledge about how
far TV had progressed in the
United States.
when landed back in New
York, the first thing I did was
take a handful of good Ameri-
can soil and put it in my purse.
I was then besieged by agents
telling me again how I could
make a fortune in TV. finally
signed and made a pilot and
while my agency was waiting
for the correct sponsor, I began
to think of all the hard work
1t was making this one pilot
and, to do this every week,
just knew I was going to be-
come the richest woman in the
cemetery. So I tried to break
my contract, but they wouldn't
release me. I had pictures Of
fered me. from everyone-good
scripts, but the agency stln
wouldn't release me.
Dying to Work
"A year had passed, and I
knew I couldn't do anything
with the present contract
everyone was working in pic
lures, on Broadway, and in
movies, and I was just sitting
around doing nothing, and just
dying to go to work. Then /
knew God was looking after
me, because two days after my
option lapsed, the agency sold
my TV series to one of the
richest sponsors in the coun-
try. I refused to do it. They
screamed at me-that no lady
in her right mind would turn
down this much money; it was
impossible.
while they were screaming.
I signed with CHS to do five
one-hour shows because could
also do movies between them.
It's working out great. Now
I'm getting ready to do my first
picture-'Texas Lady, When

mandments.' didn't feel I
was right for it and, as told
you, I can't be happy unless
I'm doing what makes me
happy"
I asked Claudette If she en-
joys live TV and she replied:
cts really rough. You do it
like a stage play but with
movie technique. For example,
in one Climax I had to wear
five different blouses. and I
had to peel them of like I was
an onion. One girl grabbed
my coat OF and I always got
scared that ! might take of
two blouses, or all Of them!
You swear you can't do it but,
after tearing of a blouse or
dress, you have to come on
stage right before those cam
eras self-composed and in a
little different mood-whew,
it's tough! Learning the lines
is easy.
"You will see the day when
all TV will be on film. Not
long ago I argued this point
with three of the biggest mo-
tion picture producers in the
country. They said never.
But think that live TV will
fade. They viii have a camera
that will work like tape does
in radio. You shoot, and when
you make a mistake, you cut
it out and just go on"
Favorites Not Hits
We talked about some of
Claudette's favorite past pic
lures, and she said, well, I'll
be honest-all the pictures
loved were not the ores that
were the most successful. I
loved 'Gilded Lily which Fred
MacMurray made with me,
and it made him star.
Another favorite was
Arise My Love- with Ray Mil
land and this was Rays first
big picture and became a star
overnight. Remember The
Day" wasn't a box-office hit,
but it was a hit in my heart.
It was a great story. Then,

I asked the versatile Clau-
dette about her hobbies. Paint
ing, she said, is still number
one. She showed me the por-
trait she painted of Deborah
Kerr's little girl, Melanie.

very enjoyable program, and
that was the inspirational
quality and uplift gained from

gram with the community

"Hatikvah", de C Il a rim G our
identity with both our "coun-
try" and our "homeland".
Much to my surprise, the
reply was that since Israel is
now a Jewish state "Hatik-
Yah" has become a political
song, therefore b arrin G it
from the program.
Now I ask you, how can
anyone arbor such
thoughts? "FIatikvah" h a S

The Flag And
Hatikvah

= - - - - - -
SHOULD THE FLAG of
Israel be flown at a Jewish
function in America? Should
We sing Hatikvah?
The Office of Protocol of the
u. S. state department and
Brooks Harding, chairman of
the UN Honor Flag Commit
tee are in agreement.
With regard to the flag, the
basic rule is this: The display
of flags of other nations to-
gether with the American flag
is proper and consistent with
the highest patriotism, so long
as certain procedures are OBJ
served.
In arranging the flags for
display, the flag of the United
States should be raised, or
placed in position first; when
the display is dismantled, it
should be taken down last.
When the flag of the United
States is displayed with the
flag of another nation, the
flags should be the same size.
flown at the same height, on
StaffS of the same length. In
time of peac ce, no country'S
flag should fly higher than
that of another.
When the flags are used on
a platform, at the same level
as the speaker, the flag of the
United States should be on the
speakers right h a t is, to
the audiences left, with the
other country's fla g to the
speakers left.
If posted on the auditorium
floor, the flag of the United
States should be placed on the
right of the audience.
The American flag should
never be draped, f Id e d or
punched for decoration pur-
poses, but always allowed to
hang free and clear.
AS FOR the anthem:
The order of the singing of
the Star Spangled Banner to-
gether with the anthem of a
foreign nation is simple and
clear; the position of honor
and pr cedureis is last-and
therefore, the Star Spangled
Banner follows the foreign
country's a n t h e m. Conse-
quently, at any public func-
ton, Hatikvah would be sung
first, followe d by the Star
Spangled Banner.
There is only one exception
which arises from the rule
that the anthem of the per-
forming artists takes the hon.
ored position: If a musical
organization - an orchestra
or chorus-or a musical artist
from Israel, or any foreign
country is touring the United
States, and is performing the
two anthems, the anthem Of
the artist or group should be
played last.
