Miss Somebody-or-Oth

According to the latest census, Long
Beach, California, had a population Of
ESQ., 67. 1t has had more, in recent days
at least, because of something known
as Miss Universe ConteSt-widely at
tended by pretty girls, press agents
and photographers. The promoters have
been quite happy even though in more
than one sense of the term the NOR
tally rate among peaches has been high.
The blight on peaches began when Miss
Georgia brought the Mayor of Long
Beach basket of the famous Georgia
variety. The California Department of
Agriculture promptly confiscated the
Georgia peaches on grounds they might
have bugs unwanted in California. The
next peach" to encounter misfortune
was one identified successfully as Miss
Leona Gage. as Miss Maryland. as Miss
United States and finally as Mrs. Gene
Ennis Being established as Mrs. Ennis
meant that Miss Gage, or Miss Mary
land, no longer could be Miss United
StateS-a chain OF events that led to
some photographed tears.
Still, all was not lost-at least to
Long Beach. This (conteSt) has been
most helpful to our Convention Bureau
and to the Harbor Commission" an off,
cial assured an anxious press. ."They
don't have to explain where our city u.s."
That Is, OF course, just dandy.

FIFTY YEARS AGO IN THE STAR

Half a century ago, George
town was excited about its
prospects as a booming buSi-
ness center. On July 81, 1907,
The Star reported: with the
plans Of the Great Falls and
Old Dominion Electric Rail-
way to extend its lines 70
Leesburg, Va, and Frederick.
Nd, about to be carried out.
and the activity Of the Balti-
more and Ohio along the
canal plainly visible, the bus
inessmen of Georgetown are
beginning to realize that
their part of the District of
Columbia may have a bust
ness future before it that will
surpass all dreams and bring
back the lost glory of the
days when it was the most
important part of the Capital
city. If the rumor is true that
ultimately the Wabash steam
lines are to gain an entrance
to the District by way of the
Great Falls and Old Domin-
ion tracks, there is indeed a
rosy business future for this
section, and it is pretty gen.
orally believed that this is
true. Some day there may
be a hustle and hustle at both
ends of the AQueduct bridge
that will do credit to any bus
mess center in the world. -"
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1957-07-21
Thirsty

The report of the secretary
Of the Senate so years ago
indicated a somewhat less
than arid situation on Capt.
toll Hill. The Star. on July
81, 1907, discussed the report
this way: According to the
figures given in that inter-
esting document known as
the annual report Of the
secretary Of the Senate. the
solons in that august body
are a thirsty lot. but. so far
as the report shows. combining
themselves entirely and ex-
clusively to mineral waters Of
every kind and character and
lemonade. :. There are nine
ty-two Senators including the
Vice President. and the re-
port shows that during the
fiscal year 800 cases of min
eral water. costing $4.504.70,
went down their throttles.
Two hundred twenty five
cases Of carbonated water
must be added TO the ex-
penditures for wet goods.
The drink list concludes with
$3l8.97 for lemons and
sugar. :" The Star also
listed. among others, these
items in the secretary's re-
port: One skirt trunk. $26.70:
two branding irons. $3.50;
bay rum, $30.25; dandruff
cure, $500. and whitewash
brushes. $24.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1957-07-21
More Progress

This is an age when men seem to
be inventing or developing at least one
new marvel every day. The latest case
in point is the high-energy fuel Just
announced at Niagara Falls, New York.
Although its basic ingredient is SUBJ
stance derived from commonplace boz
rax (once used chiefly in household
cleanSerS), it apparently is so efficient
and potent that B-58 jet bomber, if
powered by it, could fly to any part of
the world and return without refueling.
Developed by the Olin Mathieson
Chemical Corporation, this astonishing
fuel is not yet available in much guam
tity, but big plants are being built for
its large-Scale production According
to one estimate, it cost $4,000 a pound
when the first batch of it was manufac-
tured. Now, however, it is expected to
cost only 81 pound when the new
facilities are ready to turn it out, and
predictions are being made that it may
be inexpensive enough, in another 10
years or so, for widespread and varied
civilian uses. Meanwhile, nearly all of
1t will be bought up by our armed forces
for towering Jet planes and guided
missiles.
Clearly, assuming that it's properties
have been accurately described (the sub
ject is still largely classified for security
reaSonS), here is something that should
be capable of making our tanker planes
obsolete by doing away with the need
for midair refueling. Further, in due
course, it should have more than little
impact on civilian aviation and other
means of locomotion In that respect,
it constitutes another striking example
of the tremendous actual and potential
change that has placed this period of
human history in a class by itself,
breathing hard and bit baff1ed as it
tries to keep up with the pace of its own
scientific and chronological progress.

Breochine the Curtain

BY somewhat labored steps, the
paper curtain" which the State De-
partment had drawn against allowing
American news correspondents to visit
and work in Communist China has been
opened slightly. Secretary Dulles has
offered, after comforting with represent
atives of news-gathering agencies, to
approve for limited period the assign
ment of limited number of reporters.
The trial period, he suggests, should be
six months. The number of correspond
ents for this experimental period would
be limited to those of the IL agencies or
publications represented prior to their
expulsion by the Peiping government in
1949. Because this second limitation
met some resistance in the conference,
the State Department next will under
take survey to see what agencies ac-
tually desire representation.
This tentative solution is not COM
pletely satisfactory, obviously, to either
the department or to the press. Despite
modification of his previous outright
ban on American newSmen going to Red
China, Mr.. Dulles clearly still has res
ervations about removing it, He is fear
full, for one thing, that a removal of
all restrictions would bring too many
correspondents "trooping over there"
Agency spokesman, however, contend
that the cost factor would constitute
IAN automatic check" to such a posi-
bility. It is argued further that our
Government should not say "who could,
and who could not, report" Certainly
it is not properly within the province Of
the Government to handpick newsmen
or agencies for foreign reporting.
Even so, this limited approach to
removing the curtain" has some merits.
The American press and public opinion
are deprived currently of any direct re-
porting from Red China by American
correspondents. There might, as Mr..
Dulles has said, be risks to the >individ-
ual reporters in going into Communist
China but there always have been news
men willing to take this chance In any
case, If the Peiping government is pre-
pared to admit American reporters, the
benefits of preaching the curtain" could
far outweigh the dangers. Even on a
trial basis, the experiment should be
undertaken.
