in recent years toward do-it-

The almost universal dream OF
the American boy to own his own

the dream as in 1914. OF the

Teen-age girls covered by the

Girls between 8 and IL picked

figure had risen to SO per cent.
The number of jobs available
for boys and girls wishing tc

phenomenally.
Jobs Are Different
"TimeS are much different
from when my older brother was
in high school," said a youth
in Duluth. HE had to deliver
packages or papers to make
money, while it seems that
could work for almost any bust

wanted to. And they pay terrific
salaries"
The boom that is benefltine

u. S. EmpIoye Federation
To Open 4-Doy Convention

President Eisenhower has sent
a message to the American Fed
Grafton of Government Employees
indorsing the organizations pro-
gram of improving the Federal
service.
The federation opens a four
day convention tomorrow at the
Willard Hotel. Five hundred
ID ele g ties representing 10000
members will begin registering
today.
The chief business before the
convention will be the drafting
of a legislative program to be
presented to the 85th Congress,
and election of officers.
President Eisenhower said in
his message to the organization:
II note that one of the goals
of your organization is the con-
slant improvement of the Fed

shows results which may be
ling to dads who can look back
startling to dads who can look
back to 50-cent allowances and
257cent lawn moving fees. For
alls along the line, the income Of
ths Nations young people has
taken a sharp upward turn.
Even the moppets are getting
more money. The survey showed
the average boy between the
ages of 8 and IL has a weekly
income of Slip per week in 1856,
compared to AZ cents in 1914.
That's an increase of s.267 per
cent for the small fry.
Increase of 372 Per Cent
And the older boys and girls
are doing even better.
Counting allowances and earn
ings, the average teen-age boy
in 1914 had an income of $2.41
per week. BY comparison, the
1856 figure of 1896 represents
an increase of 372 per cent.
Teen-age girls are only slightly
behind.
One ironic aspect of the
growth in youthful prosperity is
that in some cases sons and
daughters have more uncommit-
ted pocket money than their
parents.
Dad pays the bills, worrying
about the mortgage, food, cloth
ing and other expenses, often
winding up with little left over.
The children, free of such major
responsibilities, are usually free
to spend their increased income
as they see fit.
Economy At Higher Level
Why are youthful pockets filled
higher? Most of the answer lies
in the higher level of the Ma
tons economy.
Boys and girls get bigger al
lowances because their parents
realize it costs more to go to
a movie or buy hot dog. Too,
jobs are easier to find for young
sterS in search of spare cash.
More high school students are
working after classes, and for
better pay.

young people are spending their

Women Voters
Mark Birthday

Women have a tremendous
challenge to make political re-
sponSibility a more lively ano
gratifying experience this veal
than ever BEFORE" President
Eisenhower said in a statement
last night.
His statement and those OF
Adlai Stevenson. the Democratic
presidential candidate, and Mrs
John G. Lee, national president
of the League of Women Voters
were released through the League
on the eve of the seth anniver-
sary of the women suffrage
amendment.
The League is successor to the
National American Women Suf-
frage Association, which led the
long fight for the amendment
giving women the franchise, il
was noted, The coming election
win be the 10th in which all
women of the United States have
been entitled to vote.
Mr.. Stevenson said that "the
counsel of American women il
sought by the political parties
and their voices are needed. Theii
conduct in politics has brought
prestige to their country. Then
Iintellige nce. honesty and capacity
for hard work have made Amer
lea 4 better place for all of Vi
and for our children."
Mrs. Lee commented: "Sinct
women have had the right to VOTE
and to participate in public af-
fairs, they have demonstrated 6
great capacity for going to tht
heart of the matter. In this
their tenth presidential election
there is urgent need to see the
ballot box as the heart of thost
matters in which Americans Sc
earnestly believe"

Mr.. DeMille, whose master
showman's speciality has been
big and popular pictures, has
found THE Ten Command
ments" his greatest challenge.
To 1t he has responded with a
picture that with respect to
spectacle and story is the quint-
essence of DeMille. In its use of
time three hours and thirty mine
minutes of it, hordes Of creatures

specimen of cinema Snowman

Yet in all this concern for
suitable dimension, the DeMille
insistence upon tumultuous basic
narrative is never lost. His is
the purpose to tell the story of
Moses the man as well as Moses
the messenger. SO. from the bull
rushes and babyhood to Mt. Sinai
and patriarchal significance. the
film follows human who tastes

nevertheless does not escape its
blotches. Its running time,
spectacle and seething story to
the contrary, may be too long.
The reach of its players for the
films figures of myth and mys-
terry occasionally falls short. And,
strangest of all, the pictures

Rameses in quite agile ones as

Elvis Presley may be shook up
pretty much and even sue.
So, if in your sheltered ex-
istence you never have encoun-
tered ElviS. take warning. Count
your blessings, stay where you
are and let those who dig this
fellow have their fling.
There have been allegations
that Elvis demonstrates superior
acting talent in Love Me Ten
der" If they are true, Producer
David Weisbart had better
launch an investigation. Some
|snide party has left all the evil
dence Of Elvis' acting ability
on the cutting room floor.
Even the shrill teen-agers at
tending at least one showing of
the film yesterday seemed to be
aware of this. Elvis, the singing
contortionist, they may love, but
there was healthy mockery in
the jeering laughter for his
every attempt at feigning deep
emotion. This boy couldn't act
his way through a paper hoop
if he tripped and fell toward it..
He is called upon to imperson-
ate a Southern country boy in
Love Me Tender" and it must
be admitted that he gets by as
long as no more serious demands
are made of him. He does look
and sound like a Southern coun-
try boy.
Mr.. Egan, a solid actor, plays
another Southern country boy,
one OF the three Reno brothers
who have gone off to the War
Between the States leaving the
fourth (Elvis) behind to tend
the farm. Also left behind is
Egan'S souimate (Debra Paget) +,
which is a mistake. She's faith
I full until he is reported killed,

boys come home and Mr.. Egan

tricks that fall short.
x i
DeMiue's Moses, played by
Charlton Heston, is a hero ex-
cerpted from not merely the Old
Testament but from vast re-
search among the works OF an
cient historians.
AS shaped by the multitude of
script writers here. he is the
first of men to conceive of free
dom and virtue as life'S primary
concerns. This philosophy of
Moses is not the result of revela-
ton. He learns it from living.
The beloved ward of Pharoah's
daughter, he grows up in a palace
environment where virtue is not
easily preserved. 1t is exposed
to the seductive charms of Ne
'fritiri (Anne Barxeter), to the
fraternal jealousy of Rameses
(Yul Brynner), and the spectacle
of Pharoah's Cedric Hardwicke)
wanton enslavement of the
people of Israel.
These temptations of the flesh
and of power are rejected by the
lad with the blood of slaves, for
no reason he knows but for rea-
sons he cannot resist. He has no
sawarenesS of his destiny as
Providence's instrument. What
he feels is a distaste for palace
Irevels and an anguish of spirit
at the sight of his labor forces
reduced to a level of animal
degradation.
Giving his imagination free
rein, Mr.. DeMille brings his hero
to thunderouS manhood to make
the more dramatic Moses return
to his own people. his share in
their slavery, his vision of what
must be done to set them free
This is dramatic material in
which to revel and DeMille's Old
Testament experience has con-
WINGED him that it cannot be
overdone.

In scene after tumultous scene
he matches good and evil in ex-
Itravagant dimensions which
leave no slight question as to
why THE Ten Commandments
lis the most expensive picture
ever made. This is the sort oil
thing at which DeMille is best
and after 40 years at the age OF
rs. he is better at it than ever.
His work is most absorbing
when it is the purest of page
antry but with its central figure
never obscured by the waves Of
