HEADLINE PERSONALITY
Lodge Won q Name
Taking Back to Reds

The man chosen by Presi-
dent Eisenhower to show Pre-
mier Khrushchev the country
Is a Boston blueblood with a
name for talking tough to the
Russians.
Henry Cabot Lodge. our AM
bassador to the United Nations,
was born and brought up In
the genteel tradition Of Bea-
con Hill. But nobody will con-
fuse him with j. p. Marquand's
celebrated proper Bostonian,
the late George Apley. Am
bassador Lodge is a handsome,
high-nosed, supremely self
confident Brahmin who
astounded the polite circles Of
world diplomacy by telling of
the Russians in the United Ma
tions Immediately after they
had launched one Of their
propaganda TRADES.
Contrast In Appearance
The President, had he
combed the country. probably
could not have found a man
whose appearance, background
and general approach to life
would contrast more sharply
with that Of his celebrated
guest. Mr.. Lodge comes from
the cream of the cream of
Boston society. whereas Mr..
Khrushchev proudly boasts he
sprang from peasant stock. Mr..
Lodge was educated In private
schools and was graduated with
honors from Harvard Univer-
sity, the oldest and proudest
citadel Of learning in this coun-
try. Mr.. Khrushchev is large
ly self-taught.
Mr.. Lodge is a tall, COM
handing figure with an aristo-
cratic air and a reserved man.
ner. Mr.. Khrushchev is roly-
poly and given to Glowing.
A considerable figure in his
own right, Mr.. Lodge was first
noted in Massachusetts, politi-
cal life as the grandson and
namesake of one of the great |
rajahs Of the United States
Senate. Henry Cabot Lodge, a
bitter opponent Of the League
Of Nations, known to President |
Wilson as one Of "a little band |
Of willful men,"
Defeated Curley
Mr.. Lodge first entered the
lists Statewide as the OPP
ponent of the formidable,
perennial James Michael Cur |
ley. the inspiration of the novel, |
"The Last Hurrah." With his |
usual talent for whimsical in
vective, Mr.. Curley dubbed Mr.. |
Lodge Little Boy Blue" The
soubriquet did not stick. When |
the votes were in, the 34-year-
old Lodge had trounced his OPP
ponent by q plurality of 1885,
600.
In his early days in the Sen
ate, Mr.. Lodge demonstrated
that the family iSolationism
died hard. But a term of serv-
ice in Italy in 1914 during
which he won the Bronze Star
and the Croix de Guerre) shat
tered his youthful prejudices.
and Mr.. Lodge came home from
the wars a convinced interna-
tionalist.
Upon his return to the SEN
ate. Mr.. Lodge voted for foreign
aid and increased defense
spending. He was one of the
young Turks" who urged
upon the Republicans a more
modern point Of view.
Toward that end, he became
one of the earliest and most
vociferous partisans Of the then
Gen. Eisenhower. His tireless

him in the Seante with one of
heir. own, John F. Kennedy.
Mr.. Lodge tried to catch up,
)ut it was too late. Despite a
landslide, Mr.. Ken
1edy won by almost 10000
1otes.
Effective Advocate
One Of the first actions the
new President took was to ap-
point his early sponsor to the
ambasSadorship to the United
Nations. There Mr.. Lodge be-
gan his noted practice Of an
'wering Russian charges imme-
iiately after they were made.
Although his hard-hitting re-
plies startled the striped-pants
set. they began to recognize him
as a most effective advocate oil
the free world in the General
Assembly.
1t is anticipated that despite
their lack of common back
ground, Mr.. Khrushchev and
Mr.. Lodge will find plenty to
say to each other as they tom
the country side by side.

time away from work increases,
the employee reaches point
where his pension and social Sc
curity benefits provide more in
come than his salary does.
A large Midwestern department
store places retired employees on
daily hiring list, thus allowing them
to keep busy two or three days a
week. Another Office switches its
over-65 workers to a four-day week.
The method is immaterial. What
is important is letting the qualified
65- year -old continue working if
he wants to. AS long as arbitrary
retirement plans exist, continued
employment for older Americans
will rank high on the list of ur-
gently needed preventive health
measures. - The End

are the alternatives?

other skilled job classifications.
In many companies the decision
to retire is joint one based on
frank discussions between the en-
plOyee, his physician, job super
visor and a personnel man. Other
organizations have similar review
boards. Interestingly, at such
places the decision to retire is often
initiated by the employee. The i'm
portant point is that the worker
has a choice; he is consulted, not
arbitrarily let go.

Another alternative is semi

Tribes ButtIinq
Again in Congo;
CITY Sets Curfew

LEOP POLDVILLE, Belgian
Congo, Dec. 9 CAP).-A new
wave of intertribal warfare
fared in Kasai Province yester-
day. Fifteen persons were re-
ported killed and 80 injured.
Authorities clamped martial
law on the entire province, and
imposed a duSk-to-dawn cur
few on some areas in the main
city of Luluabourg.
Reports reaching here said
the tribal unrest was spanked
by a fight between a Lulua
tribeSman and a group of Balu-
ba. One Baluba was speared
to death.
Tension between the two
tribes has been a cause for con-
cern for some time. A series
of lntertribal fights has brought
police and army intervention.
Latest information reaching
Leopoldville said the unrest
spread in the north near Dem
ba, where the Luluas occupied
the st. Bernard (Roman Cath
olic) mission at Tambwe.
Other reports said the rival
Baluba have set up roadblocks
at several points throughout

Rocket Engine
Can Vary Thrust

SACRAMENTO. Calf. Dec
9 (AP) .--Aerojet-General Corp
announced yesterday it has de-
veloped a liquid rocket engine
with a variable thrust range of
$4,000 to 100000 pounds.
Rocket engines used in cur
rent missiles cannot vary the
rate of their thrust. The vari-
able thrust is considered one
of the prime requisites for fu-
ture manned space ventures.
Aerojet calls its new engine
XLR-ll3-AJ-l and says it's
the largest known variable
thrust engine in the free world.
1t will be used to propel rocket
