GRANDMA MOSES IS 100 TODAY

EAGLE BRIDGE, NY, R,-The century mark arrived today for beloved Grandma Moses, and, with a twinkle in her hazel eyes, she reports: "I'm going to live to be 200'
 The diminutive, still active painter, whose primitive rural scenes are known around the world, also promises to keep laughing.
 That is one of her rules for staying young: Keep busy, keep in young company and keep laughing.
 Although Grandma's Tooth birthday was today, she cele- brated it last Sunday so that working friends and family mem bers could participate in the fes- tivities.
 The fragile seeming, white haired, 100-pound bundle of fun, who began painting when in her 7Os, is considered in good condi- ton by her doctor.
 Grandma, whose full name is Mrs. Anna Mary Robertson Moses, still paints daily and reads the newspapers. She is somewhat put out with talk of mans travelling in space.
 He's a derned fool,' she says. ''The Lord put us on earth, and we should stay here until he comes after us. They're spending money for those space things while lots of people are freezing and starving for want of money It's a foolish piece of business"

Detection of Two NSA Code Clerks
 Shows Up Weakness of US. Security

WASHINGTON, lR President Eisenhower said today the defec- ton to Moscow of two American code clerks shows the need for an examination of the governments entire security machinery.
 The President said every pos sible step must be taken, without violating the rights of individuals, to remove bad security risks from positions where they can harm the nation.
 The two clerks, Bernon Mitch ell, 3l, and William Martin, 29, turned up in a Moscow news con- ference yesterday and accused America of threatening peace.
 The case shows, Eisenhower said, that we must go through our entire procedures to strengthen the possibility that weak, irres- ponsible, or reasonable persons do not occupy sensitive posts.

CAB Hears Applications
 For Trans-P acific Routes From US. to The Orient

WASHINGTON, LA - Airlines competing for new trans Pacific routes began two days of argu- ment before the Civil Aeronau- tics Board today
 Rep. Ralph Rivers supported the application of Pan American World AirWays for new routes from the east and midwest to the Orient over the Great Circle route by way of Fairbanks.
 Rivers said the proposed ser vices would mean minimum of $750,000 in gross receipts from fuel sales and landing fees in Fair banks in addition to expanded payrolls.
 Speaking on another phase of the broad trans-Pacific case, Gov. Mark O. Hatfield of Oregon en- dorsed proposed services by Pan American World AirWays for competitive services with North west Airlines from Portland to the Orient over the Great Circle route
 He said present services are not adequate and that Oregon is en- titled to better air route in the Pacific.

Ike Says Chance of Meeting with Mir. K Very, Very Slim

WAof1ING 1ON, fl -6IeSluGuG Eisenhower said today the United States deplores "the unilateral action of the Soviet Union in sup plying aircraft and other equip ment for military purposes to the Congo"
 The President told news con- ference that this has aggravated "an already serious situation which finds Africans killing other Africans"
 Eisenhower said further that if these planes are flown by Soviet military personnel, this would be contrary to the principles so far applied regarding use in the Con- go of military contingents from the larger powers"
 The President went on to say that so far as he knows these rules have previously been upheld by the Soviet Union.
 In his statement, Eisenhower said main responsibility for cas- ing the Congo tension has been given to the LIN. as the only or ganization to act without adding to the risks of spreading the con- flict."
 The President said the consti- tutional structure of the Congo is a matter which should be work ed out peacefully by the Congo lese themselves.
 'sThis objective is threatened by the Soviet action which seems to be motivated entirely by the Soviet Unions political designs in Africa" he said.
 The President indicated again that he is giving serious consid- eration to addressing the U. N. General Assembly in New York later this month.
 But he said the chances of his meeting there with Soviet Pre- mier Khrushchev, who has an nounced he will attend the As sembly session, are very, very slim indeed
 Eisenhower remarked sternly that he does not intend to debase the United Nations by being a party to any battle of invective and propaganda.
 He said Khrushchev would have to meet certain conditions before he Eisenhower would az rec to confer with him.
 Asked whether Soviet release of the American fliers shot down in an RB47 reconnaissance plane could be regarded as one of those conditions, Eisenhower replied he believes that would be one of them.

is the French farce which is
rocking Arena Stage nightly
and threatens to become one
of its all-time hits.
Mr.. Ince is the older. the
more experienced. and one is
sure, worldly. This, if the rule
of seniority applied. would make
him come first in this column.
Nevertheless. with a court
illness matching Mr.. Ince's
Hungarian own, we shall start
with girlhood or Miss Kwan.
Miss Kwan came to town to
talk about THE World of Suzie
Wong" in which she plays her
first starring role in films. She's
81, talks with a quick oriental
tempo. and is the first girl we
ever knew who was born in
Hong Kong. East and West met
easily in her case, at the May
flower, but despite everything
the questions and answers
seemed no fresher than any
other of these luncheon in
QUESTIONS.
One of these went: Which
did you prefer. playing the
stage or the film role?
II loved them BOTH" Nancy
said.
What was it like playing
with Bill Holden? was another
query.
Nancy said it was wonder
full and that Bill, an old Shang-
hai-Hong Kong hand, was
very helpful" Her luncheon
companions agreed that Bill
was a great guy. all right, and
very international. too. with
homes in Hong Kong, Switzer-
land, and another place that is
blurred in our mental notes.
There was a lull, then, and
all at once the males said that
they thought the picture was
fine but that the play was
horrible. Miss Kwan looked
orientally inscrutable until it
was observed that the authentic
background of the film, Hong
Kong's own teeming light
district made all the difference.
Miss Kwan said yes, cannily
figuring that she was out
numbered or something.
There wasn't much more to
it than that, but it still isn't
every day that one eats with a
girl from Hong Kong. Nancy
by the way. is not very good at
fractions. When someone asked
her family background. she
said she was one-half Scotch,
one-half English and one-half
Chinese.
That's a lot Of halves for a

including the acting, the trans
lated version, and especially F..
Cowles Strickland's darting
direction. Mr.. Ince, has been
in show business since he was
10, which is not recently.
He started writing a drama
column at that age. shortly
thereafter was in Budapest,
editing and publishing that
city's first theater magazine.
He got to know everybody,
Reinhardt. Piscator, Elizabeth
Bergner. and all those. He
spent a summer once in the

Reinhardt's palace in Salzburg.
