We were sitting in a lavish
room at the Fontainbleau
and he talked softly and elo-
quently, as he always does,
a little out of the right side
of his face and I listened
hard because George Jessel
has led an interesting life,
although there are times
when I'm not sure what he's
trying to do with it.
TWO PRESIDENTS Of
the United States have re-
ferred to Mr.. Jessel as the
toastmaster general of the
United States. In his time,
George has made about
$500 after-dinner speeches.
Names drop from his lips
like pearls from a 98-cent
necklace.
He was born in the Bronx
on April 8, 1898. Today, the
hair and the teeth may be
in doubt, but the resonant
voice is his and so is the
aspiration to be known as a
good guy. His father was a

On one occasion, when it

DEAR ABBY: What can be

can find to be her friends?
We have always gone by
the old saying: "As the twig
is bent, the tree will grow"
But it hasn't worked with us.
My husband and l have
sacrificed so that our daugh-
ter could dress we'll and go
with the best crowd. She is
18 now and goes with the
crummiest bunch in town.
Where have we failed?

DEAR ABBY: Whenever
my husband and I are with

this just to make me jealous.
Do you think I should play
up to other men and teach
him a lesson? ELEANOR.

They worked in a production
called Kid Cabaret. Jessel

pletely abandoned by their
motherland.
When Britain seized the
Cape Of Good Hope in 1906
she imposed conditions which
no Afrikaner could accept:
English was to be the official
language and men of color
were to have equal rights be-
fore the law. Then began the
Great Trek-the mass north
ward movement Of the Afri-
kaner people-which today still
conditions the mental attitudes
Of their descendants.
The. Afrikaners-as exclusive
a people as have ever trod the
earth-have never wanted any
thing more than the right TO
live their own lives, speak their
own language, worship in their
own way.
Accompanied by their women
and children. their oxen and
horses, their Hottentot slaves
and tame Bushmen. they fought
their way through the south
Tard-pushing zulus to the great
prairies of the Transvaal and
the Orange Free State. For 10
years they were permitted their
solitude before, at the turn of
the century, Britain smashed
the Boer republics and imposed
a new and unreal unity on
South Africa.
Self Reliant Tribe"
Centuries Of solitude have
left the Afrikaner tough and
self-reliant and developed
within him a strong feeling of
exclusiveneSs which can only
be described as tribal. 1t also
left most Afrikaners poor and
unlettered.
Until a few, years ago rela-
lively few could read. There
were few schools because the

ton widespread and the young

the food was running short. Al
most, 1t would have lasted two
more days.
The test was the final in q
series Of eight.
Persons who participated in
the two-week study received an
honorarium of $100.
Here's what the inside Of the
shelter included:
Thirty hunks, 2x6 feet, in
tiers Of three. Some hunks
we're dismantled during wax
ing hours to provide additional
living space.
A single water tap.
Chemical wash clothes which
do not require water were
available for personal cleanli-
ness as were oral hygiene
tablets.
A small room, 3x4 feet, con-
tanning a toilet, provided pri-
vacy.
A supply Of magazines and
books was available, along with
other recreational materials
such as games and playing
cards.
Cooking in the usual sense
was not done. A two-unit hot
plate provided the means for
heating food and water. The
basic food ration furnished
about 1000 calories a day.
Throughout the two weeks
the participants were under
constant surveillance by men,
bers Of the project staff. Their
actions were recorded and
studied through microphones,
one-way vision mirrors and
closed circuit television equip
ment.
The most common readjust-
ment problems seem to be
temporary reduction of mus
cular coordination, frequent
dreams related to shelter ex-
perience, reduced appetite for
a few days and a temporarily
distorted size perception
(rooms and steps look 80
big") for a while.

cal revolution which was the
1948 election.
Face African NatiOnalism
No sooner was the Afrikaner
in power, however, than he
saw that power threatened by
the wave Of black nationalism
sweeping across the continent.
The Afrlkaner has met this
threat with every weapon at
his disposal, including moral
Righteousness. For make no
mistake about this: The ma
jority Of Afrikaners believe that
their policy is best in the long
run for the Africans. if only
because it gives blacks a chance
Ito develop along their own
lines" Ut is irrelevant to the
Afrikaner that the African
wants not to develop along such
lines, but within the broad con-
ceptS of Western civilization
This then is the Afrikaner:
friendly, almost pathetically
anxious to be understood and
liked, fond of politics, sports
and hunting; devoted to his
church; often curiously gentle
and kind to individual Africans,
while supporting policies which
deny such individuality; imi-
tative of most things American

Britain in particular; fond of

physically hard; self-reliant;
a great meat-eater; dedicated
to family life but prone to di-

. Can't Be COerced
He is the only man who
can solve the South African
problem. If only because he
is so much a part of it. Eco
nomic and cultural boycotts
will not change his heart, but
only increase his sense of iso-
lation and fortify his stubborn
desire to survive on his own
terms.
More desperately than ever
before in its tortured history
South Africa, particularly the
Afrikaner, needs friendly con.
tact with the outside world, If

foot bomb shelter.
The volunteers walked out
Of the experimental shelter
yesterday and officials of the
American Institute for Re-
search. which conducted the

suits.

mistic moment, we did not

project director, said.
The experiment was designed

Miss Laura Ellis. 72, oldest
Of the volunteers, was conduct

leave. Asked why she volun-
teered, the gray-haired woman
replied:

house Electric Corp. to take
part in the test with his wife
and two children.
The first thing 10-year-old
Paul Marion. jr., said as he
left the shelter was: Where's
my daddy?" Mrs. Marion, who
had Paul, jr.. and a daughter,
Kathleen. with her, said:
"The first few days the
children were under strain.
Both Of mine were homesick. =
Some nights they had tears
in their eyes. But finally they
! got adjusted"
Shut OF From News
The group had no news
papers. television or radios with
them. Games and cards offered
the only recreation.
For the last day Of the test,
the 80 participants were Joined
by nine reporters and two off,
cials from the ONCE Of Civil
Defense.
AS the reporters entered the
cuoicle a small voice popped:
Are the Pirates in first
place? What's the weather like
outside? When are we getting
out Of here?"
The reporters couldn't an
.swer. They had promised not
to talk about the outside world
during their period Of confine-

Immediately on leaving the
shelter the group was ushered
Into another building for brief
physical examinations and in
terviews by members Of the
research staff.

White louise Returns SIiD!
Summit Burned the Wires
BY BETTY BEALE
Star stan Writer

The White House, out Of
the blue 10 days ago, returned
to Mrs. Perkins Mcclure,
wife of the Assistant Secre-
tary Of Defense. the mem
orable petticoat that slipped
its moorings while she was
attending the full dress eve
ming reception there two
months ago.
Wondering what had be-
come Of it, this columnist
called the Executive Mansion
to ask the whereabouts of the
long, fluffy white garment
that Wardie Mcclure hastily
stepped out of that night
when she discovered to her
horror it was lying around
her feet.
Her efforts to casually tuck
it under her arm pretending
it was the latest thing in
stoles had been to no avail,
so she had Surreptitiously
handed it to a young White
House aide. The aide, treat
ing it like a hot potato. had
instantly passed it on to an
experienced White House
footman who calmly carried
it from the party scene par
TALLY camouflaged by a Red
Room sofa pillow.
THE ATTRACTIVE MRS.
MCGUIRE, trying to recover
her sang-froid after such a
faux pas, had plainly told the
aide that she never wanted to
see the slip that slipped
again, and for awhile it
looked as if the White House
would abide by her wishes.
But Mary Jane McCaffree,
Mrs. Eisenhower's social sec
retary, who became custodian
of the garment in her Office,
decided it should be returned
at the first opportunity. 1t
seemed a pity not to, because
cit was such a beautifully
made one," said Mrs. McCaf-
free.
So 10 days ago when things
had quieted down-socially,
that iS-she dispatched it in
an elegant and feminine rib
boned box to the MCGUIRE
residence on Tracy place via
a White House car. But, alas,
there was no one home, so
guess where the chauffeur
took it? Yep, to Mr.. Nc
Guire at the Pentagon! That
petticoat has certainly been
around.
My spies tell me that Mrs.
Mcguire now has the beau
tiful box. but can't bear to
set eyes on the pretty
newsmaker again, so has not
even opened it, and doesn't
plan to.
