Charles B. DuIcon

The merchandising career of Charles
B. Dulcan, ST., was reminiscent of the
theme of the Horatio Alger stories which
were popular among boys of Mr.. Dulcan's
age when he was growing up in Baltimore.
Although he had the benefit of only five
grades of elementary schooling he con-
tinued his studies at night through cor
respondence courses. His first job as
young man was part-time one with the
Hecht Company. His talents in retail
merchandising brought him to the atten-
ton of his superiors and his promotion
to positions Of larger responsibilities and
higher pay became frequent. The Dulcan
success story, as we in Washington know
so well, was climaxed by his eventual
elevation to vice chairman of the board
of the Hecht Company and managing
director of the Washington area stores.
The remarkable expansion of the
decht Company enterprises in Washing
ton and its suburbs occurred under the
energetic and far-seeing leadership Of

Mr.. Dulcan. His business acumen won
him national recognition in the retail
merchandising field. Meanwhile Mr..
Dulcan had become widely known here
also as leader in civic, social welfare
and philanthropic activities. He won the
Cosmopolitan Clubs gold medal in 1851
for distinguished community service.
After his retirement from the Hecht Com

his interest in community affairs, and the

East and West to Meet

The scheduled visit of King Saud of
Saudi Arabia to Washington may have
a broadly helpful effect on the troubled
affairs of the Middle East and on current
efforts to evolve strong and constructive
American policy toward that area. To
the Moslem world of 800 million people,
living between North Africa and South
Asia, the ruler of the Arabian Peninsula
is the guardian of the Holy Places of
Islam and the spiritual defender of the
faith. Lacking many of the accoutre-
ments Of conventional modern power, he
nevertheless enjoys an influence extend
ing far beyond the desert kingdom
bounded by the Persian Gulf and the Red
Sea. His acceptance of American hos
pitality-the first time a king of his
country has visited the United States
undoubtedly will be interpreted as a
gesture of friendship and, even more
important of trust.
The timing of this meeting between
President Eisenhower and King Saud is
opportune in several respects. 1t will, in
the first place, permit the President to
explain personally his broad, new pro-
81 Oil AOl OO-OpCAd WIFI dllu dlQ W
the Middle East-to assure a leader of
the Arab world that our objective is to
support their sovereignty and independ-
ence, not to seek a new form of "impe-
rialist" influence. Allied with Egypt, the
Saudi government is among those wary
of the Baghdad pact--another of the
problems of the Middle Eastern area"
very likely due for discussion. In addi-.
ton, there will be timely opportunity to
discuss current negotiations for renewal
of our lease on the Dhahran Air Base and
the mutual economic interests repre-
Sented by American development of
Arabian oil resources-important not only
to the two countries, but to Western
Europe and the entire Middle East.
Actually, in the past 20 years rela-
lions between Saudi Arabia and the
United States have been uniformly good
and mutually beneficial. A high point in
this relationship occurred in February,
1945, when the late King Ibn Saud, father
of the present monarch, left his country
to meet President Franklin Roosevelt in
Great Bitter Lake in the Suez Canal. To
the Moslem world that meeting had great
and favorable significance. The meeting
planned here at the end of this month
holds similar promise.

Welcome REFUGEES

Just as wish to express APP
probation for your masterful
tribute to the Hungarians in
your editorial of December Z.
so do I want to express disgust
as the January 3 letter of
James Joyce. He implies that
the high caliber of some Of the
refugees suggests that they are
opportunists. Apparently Mr..
Joyce can only envision the
ignorant and destitute coming
to our country. The talented
and well-to-do would not pre-
fer this country to a Commun-
ist state-they have other rea-
sons for coming, according to
Mr.. Joyce. Tut. Mr.. joyce

In answer to the letter Of
James Joyce. l wish to make
the following points concern
ing the Hungarian refugees
who we're not active freedom
fighters.
For the 10 harsh years of
Communist rule. the spirit of
freedom was miraculously kept
alive. While this resistance was
not open. it was one of passive
and consistent quality. The
peasants who refused to make
their farms produce for the
Communists, the workers who
idled at their machines wnen
forced to work on Sunday in
order to have a Christmas
holiday. the artists who would
not exhibit if it meant idoliz-
ing Stain iiP their works. the
musicians who defiantly played
American music disguised as
South American folk tunes
these are but a few examples
Of the everyday actions of the
Hungarians.
To classify these people as
"opportunists" who fled Hun
gary can act requiring more
courage and determination
than many realize) is a gross
overgeneralization. Who are
We to say that these men and
women who kept the flame
alive are not worthy Of entry
into our country and a new
life?
Mr.. Joyce may rest assured
that the screening process is
effective and that several
thousand have been refused
admittance to our country be-
cause of lack of assurance as
to their political opinions.
Many more persistent re-
sisters as well as actual free
dom fighters are waiting for a
chance to begin life anew. To
give them that chance. as well
as to nelp that generous and
overburdened country. Austria.

THIS AND THAT
!. By CHARLES {. TRACEWELL


This happy relationship
went along for many years.
until the sad time came when
Billy began to show the eff

system.
1t was at this time that the
first of the modern road

through the county.
Big men with big machines
came. and with them sticks
Of dynamite. then a novelty.
=
Old Man Royce watched the
dynamiters with keen interest,
and slowly an idea began to
work in his mind.
Why wouldn't that be a good
way to end the life cycle Of
Billy?
Just tie a stick of that
there dynamite to the poor
dogs tail. light the fuse, and
IN few seconds, Billy's trou-
bleS would be over forever.
That was the way it worked
out. but not quite.
Royce took the old dog to
a field, and attached the stick
of dynamite.
He set the fuse, and lit it.
Now, you stay there, Billy"
Old Man Royce said, as he
started to walk away.
He had forgotten to tie the
old dog. and also had over
looked the plain fact that
Billy Boy was faithful even
unto death.
AS the old man walked away
from his old friend, the dog
started after him.

wind. and Old Man Royce
started to run.
Stay still. Billy" he i'm

pace.

GrotewohI in Moscow

It is interesting that the men of the
Kremlin and their East German puppets
have found it necessary to meet again
in Moscow after having done the same
thing only as recently as last July. Why?
One can only guess at the answer,
but it seems reasonably safe to assume
that the new get-together has taken place
largely because of what has happened
in Poland and revolt-torn Hungary. The
events of the last six months have had
a profoundly unsettling effect on the en-
tire satellite empire. and popular restive-
ness, if not open Righteousness, unques-
tionably has increased in East Germany.
In these circumstances, it is not
really surprising that puppet Premier
Crotewohl and his Moscow mentors have
negotiated" agreements under which the
sovereign German Democratic Republic"
is supposed to have received a number
of benefits from the Kremlin. Among
other things, these benefits include the
following: Q) A credit of $85 million that
can be used, If necessary, to buy commod-
tiles from the West (2) promise Of in
creased deliveries of Russian goods, in
GLIDING food; and (3) assent to the idea
that the Grotewohl regime should have
some measure of legal jurisdiction over
the great force of Soviet troops that will
continue to be stationed in East Germany
on temporary" basis
Compared to booming West Germany,
East Germany is in miserable economic
straits. So Soviet credit and stepped
up shipments of goods from Russia, if
they actually materialize, can help a bit
to counter mass discomfort. Similarly,
the juriSdictional concession as regards
Soviet occupying troopS-although it
amounts to much less than the one APP
parently granted to the PoleS-may have
some value as propaganda designed to
placate cruelty exploited and oppressed
people whose mood is explosive and whose
bitterness has been steadily increasing in
a way that must surely trouble the alien
tyranny that has been imposed on them.
AS for other features of the Grote-
wohl mission to Moscow, they add up to
little more than the Kremlin'S familiar
old line of goods. This line has been set
forth in long Winded and mendaciouS
communique. 1t demands again that
Germany be reunited on Communist
terms. It assailS the West for all sorts
of villainy 1t applauds Moscow's Gus
tomarily vague disarmament plan 1t
brands President Eisenhower's Middle
East program as piece of blackhearted
American imperialism" And it heaps
unstinted praise on the Soviet Unions
savage repression of Hungarian freedom.
This sort of thing is not going to be
hailed by the trapped people of East
Germany as good service rendered them
by their puppet Premier Least of all will
they take kindly to his resounding in
dorsement of the terrible crime commit
ted against Hungary. In praising it, he
has done something that may well
intensity their restiveness rather than
abate it,

Atomic Radiation Leads to Leukemio
By THOMAS R. HEINZ

them has been about ten times
greater than in the population
at large Of the same age and
sex. There was no increase
whatsoever among victims Of
the same condition who had
not been given X-ray treat
ment. Thus it can be concluded
that the disease itself had
nothing to do with the blood
condition which developed
later.
1t also has been found, ac-
cording to the report. there
are about nine times as many
deaths from leukemia, in pro-
portion to numbers. among
American radiologists as
among other physicians.
Leukemia often is referred
to as a form Of cancer. That
cancer Of lungs, bones, skin
and thyroid can come, often as
a long delayed effect. from ex-
cessive radiation now can be
considered proved, the report
says. The best evidence regard
ing lung cancer comes from
the experience of workers in
uranium mines, especially
those of the Joachimsthal in
Czechoslovakia which are sup
posedly the major Russian
source of radioactive material.
There the miners breathe con-
stantly into their lungs the gas
radon, the first decay product
of radium. Investigations indi-
cate that. up to 1899 when
there were reliable reports,
nearly half the miners who
had died since the mines were
opened had contracted lung
cancer. This. however, was not
necessarily the cause of death.
Thyroid Cancer Cases
Induction Of bone cancer is
well known from the expert
ence Of workers in luminous
watch dial factories. The can
Ger usually appears about IS
years after the first exposures
and is preceded by a long sue
cession of noncancerous bone
conditions.
A number of cases of thyroid
cancer among children have
been reported some years after
they have been given X-ray
treatment for enlarged glands
in the neck. A few reports
have drawn attention to the
development many years later
of cancers Of the pharynx and
larynx in patients who have
had X-ray treatment for such
conditions as tuberculous
glands in the neck. The latent
period before the cancer APP
pears averages about 20 years
Following the treatment.
Periods Of more than 30 years
have been recorded.
Since the early part of this
century records have accumu-
lated Of skin cancers following
X-ray or radium treatment.
In some instances these tumors
have followed injudicious use
OF X-rays for milk skin affec-
tons, or the removal of facial
hair In women.

Why must the United States

why must it continue to send

Country characters are the
delight of country characters.
Also, of their descendants.
Cities don't. for many rea-
sons. produce such people.
Perhaps it is partly because
of some quirk in the mind,
maybe a great freedom from
caring what other people
will say"
Temp Jones' Uncle Jack
always loves to tell about Old
Man Royce who tied the stick
of dynamite to his bulldogs
tail.
Old Man Royce, as he was
universally called. lived on a
farm all by himself.
The lonely life is suited to
some people. not to others.
1t has a general tendency to
make men odd and unusual.
For safety's sake. Royce
kept a big white bulldog, a
surly specimen to strangers,
but beloved of the old man.
Royce called the dog Billy,
and kept him close at hand,
day and night.
X X
Billy never chased anybody
but he saw to 1t that no one
chased him either. or Mr..
Royce.
Billy was always around to
keep tab on things.
Such a relationship between
man and dog is we'll known.
1t is one Of the reasons why
the dog is called" mans best
friend"
Another thing a good dog
does is wag. his tail.
This trait. above all. has
endeared the dog to mankind.
The cat merely lashes his
tail in anger, or lets it wave
fltfully in the breeze. in good
times.
A dog wags. and has so won
a sure place in mans heart
untouched by any 9th err
animal.
\
Billy Boy, as some called
him, lived a life of ease and
some splendor for the old days.
He had his own little house.
with his name above the door.
Sweaters for dogs we're I'M
heard of. then. but If they had,
been, Old Man Royce would
have bought one for Billy.
The dog and man became in
separable, rendering one to the
other services which Stimu-
lated their egos.
