Time To Enlist
For Peace!

For thousands of years men
- and women - have enlisted
for war. Through war they
have sought the things they
priced most-possessions, free
dom, security. And war has
grown constantly more de-
manding, more destructive,
more disappointing in its fail
ure to win what its supporters
sought.
Now war has come to its full
flower. Even the testing OF
modern nuclear weapons takes
it's toll, according to the gene
ticists, in the damaged lives Of
children to unnumbered gen.
erations. War itself, if it comes,
threatens to destroy civiliza-
ton as we know it, poison vast
areas of the earth, and perhaps
make the world itself unin-
habitable.
How much more do we
need to know that war will not
work.,
It is time to enlist for peace,
and to work as though our
lives depend on it - as In
fact they may. Do these things
today:
Write the President urging
the immediate cessation OF
testing Of nuclear weapons.
Write to the address below
for more information on how
to become q worker for peace.

concept that Comedy Is about
tragedy" Things are not fun
ny, he points out, In state OF
perfection, but in some sort OF
relationship to how far they fall
short of it-"There may not be
laughter in hell, but there
couldn't possibly be any in
Heaven"
Interesting too are Steve's
discussions of show business and
its people: of things that con-
tinue to amaze, surprise, or
amuse him about it; of wierd
or funny or embarrassing expe-
riences he has had as celebri-
ty; of interesting, funny, or sad
characteristics" that h ave
crossed his path.
This reader would judge that
the dominant motivation in this
mans life is the urge to create.
More important to him than
material advancements are in
tellectual and spiritual Develop
ments that strengthen n d
maintain human dignity and
stature. No, this book is no rec
ipe for instant success mix"
Steve himself feels that his sue
cess came too easily. If this be
true, easy success has not
spoiled him. His experiences
have produced man broad,
deep, humble, compassionate -
q fine human being who under
stands that to be American" is
not to be a certain color or of
q certain creed, or to live in
certain section of the country or
the city. Steve is a member of
the human race, not just that
portion of it within the bounds
of the USA. And if he preach
es," well, that's okay. He is the
sort of man who will permit his
listeners to take and sift, keep
what is worthwhile to them,
and discard the remainder. Not
much will be thrown away.

For Blood Donor Help

A 12-year-old Oxon Hill
tMd) girl has appealed to
President Eisenhower to help
her recruit B-negative blood
donors for an operation on her
heart next Thursday at Walter
Reed Hospital.
Carol Ann Miller, who has
written to the President before
and received a picture from
him, wished Mr.. Eisenhower a
happy Valentines Day, dis
cussed her studies, and told
him about her operation in her
most recent letter.
AS Carol Ann explained, she
and President Eisenhower "go
to the same hospital"
Then she added postscript
asking Mr.. Eisenhower to have
anyone he knows with B mega
tive blood call her mother. 1T
is very important" wrote Carol
Ann, who lives at 5112 Birch

his assistant, Maj. Gen. Wilton
B. Persons, USA (retired), told
Carol Ann the President asked
him to send her letter to the
Red Cross because he didn't
know anyone who had the rare
type blood.
THE President hopes that
the doctors at Walter Reed
Hospital will be good TO you
and that you may make a quick
recovery" Gen. Persons added.
The Red Cross has assured
Carol AIMS family tnat tile
20 pints of the rare blood she

of the District and D. C. Transit

also que Iioned its const.. ! :
tionality. He said a five-man
commission with majority Dis
trict membership might be less
Objectionable.
Mr.. Mclaughlin and Jerome
M. Alper, a consultant, made
strong pleas for the plan, call
ing it a first step toward better
area commuter service. Mr..
Alper submitted a letter of sup
port from the Metropolitan
Washington Board of Trade
Both criticized Mr.. Spear for
saying the regulatory plan
should not be considered apart
from the overall mass trans
portation proposals.
The compact is intended to
give transit firms IAN oppor-
tunity to improve service" re-
gardless of later developments,
Mr.. Alper said.
IF I were D. c. Transit I
think I'd have some apprehen-
sion. But this is all specula-
tive. You can't predicate legis-
lation on speculation" he de-
clared.
Mr.. Spear stressed that D. c..
Transit has a congressional
franchise and is concerned
about its future. Mr.. Alper, un-

Juvits' Bill
Would Sell
u. S. Touring
By the Associated Press

A bill aimed at selling
America to foreign tourists
through a Federal travel agency
was offered today by Senator
JavitS, Republican of New
York.
Senator JavitS said only about
one foreign visitor comes to the
United States yearly for every
three Americans who vacation
abroad.
He said the United States is
the only major power which
does not have a government
travel Office, while foreign ma
tons either directly or through
United States agencies spend
about $40 million annually here
to exploit their tourist attrac-
tions.
Under the Javits bill, a
United States travel commission
would be composed of 19 men,
bers. including the Secretaries
of State. Commerce. Treasury,
Interior and Labor. the Attor-
