PHILLIPS SCIENCE AND THOUGHT CONTROL "tITlTHOUT assuming any man-- " tie of prophecy, it is fair to suggest that ability to control man's thoughts with precision through science is by no means out of the question. This is more awesome in its interpretations than was the mushroom cloud in 1945." Dr. John Ely Burchard, Dean of Hu-manities at Massachusetts Tech. There goe3 that gooseflesh creep-ing up our spine againl Say it ain't so, doctor! Tell us you don't really mean that the lab-oratory will find a way to throw a switch and make a man's thoughts come out the designated slot! Ad-mit you are not serious in con- - templating a day when a button may turn a yes man into a no man, nice as it might be to see in con-verting Gromyko presto! from a no man into a yes manl Or is it to be done by rays? Turned by Joe Stalin onto President Truman, might they halt Harry In the middle of tern "We Intend to stand by to the bitter end" and bring forth an abrupt cry, "Hooray for the Kremlin!" Do you see a time when the Thirteen Men of Moscow, giving uproarious approval to a Pravda editorial denouncing America, may, under a magic ray in the hands of Uncle Sam, suddenly glow with anger and order the Pravda edi-torial writer shot at once? Is the time near when Vishinsky, loaded with expletives and rising to excoriate the democracies, will, due to a current, a ray or an iso-tope, break into a broad smile and say, "Ladies and gentlemen, I am just a Happiness Boy. There is nothing in this world like friend-ship. See what the boys in the backroom will have!" less. 3. A new play opens on Broad-way. It is lousy. But the producer has scientific connections. He con-trols the thoughts of the critics to such an extent they can't even dis-miss it as "adequate." 4. We go to the races with the right combination in the Daily Double. It is 2 and 8. The guy at the window who has a thought con-trol apparatus fills our skull with the numbers 4 and 7. (P. S. Nothing keeps us sane except the fact that the winning combination turns out to be 5 and 8.) 1949 PICKET LINE Behold the modern picket Abusive as can be; He acts as if determined To lose all sympathy.

We see the following possibilities: 1. Moscow Issues orders for the complete seizure of China. The Chinese Communist general gets it, but Washington calls on its Thought Control tower, centers the beam on him and renders the gen-eral Incapable of saying anything but "Nuts!" 2.

YfTfieiY NEWS Icritics Attack New Farm Program As Urging Unprecedented Controls; Extension Seen for Marshall Plan r.nrsed In these columns, they are those of (EDITOR'S NOTE: ".fand not nece.sarUy this newspaper.) union s m Western Newspaper FARM PROGRAM: P7JfeT --weepM newValmlrogram met with m response on Capitol HiU. nation the claimed it would carry and wouW em closer to socialism with un power the government controls and precedented farm PROPONENTS of the measure consumer, would lb. contended that benefited because retail food prices seek their own would be allowed to 'To matter which school of thought correct, it was inescapable that The program would use taxpayers-dollar-s farmers an to guarantee equal to that of a recent period. Some opposition to the plan termed it as one that might be so expensive that it would push the U S treasury toward bankruptcy and would thoroughly regiment the farmer. CHARLES F. BRANNAN, secre-tary of agriculture, conceded that "imponderables" such as weather and Improved farm techniques made it impossible now to esti-mate the cost of the program. He said of the program that it probably would mean a heavy drain on consumers' dollars. Ha added that the government plans soon to undertake a costly new program to keep up the price of pork. If this program is ap-proved, Brannan said, farmers would sell their pork for whatever it would bring. The government-mean- ing the public then would pay the farmer the difference be-tween the support price and the price the farmer actually received. REPRESENTATIVE Anderson (R., Minn.) was not impressed. He estimated the total government out-lay under the program might run as high as 10 billion dollars a year. When it is remembered the gov-ernment has no money except that which it gets from the people in taxes, objective observers were wondering who, if anyone could benefit by the program, since farmer and consumer alike would be paying out added funds to fi-nance it. MARSHALL PLAN: To Be Continued Europe appeared certain of con-tinued receipt of Marshall plan aid for another 15 months. An enthusiastic house of repre-sentatives, shouting down or beat-ing off every attempt to reduce the proposed appropriation figure, ap-proved the gift bill by a vote of 354 to 18. EVERY AMENDMENT which would have reduced the fund, or delayed action in order to study Europe's real needs, was brushed off by the majority. The bill, as approved by the house, was for 200 million dollars less than the bill which was voted by the senate. The upper chamber passed a measure appropriating 5.58 billion dollars. The house bill called for 5.38 billion. The house measure would authori-ze continued U. S. aid until July 1, 1950, subject to possible later cuts by the senate and house ap-propriations committees. It pro-vided 272 million dollars to encour-age American private business to invest in recovery projects abroad. Such investments would be guar-anteed against loss by confiscation of property overseas. FINAL VOTE on the house bill came after Majority Leader John W. McCormack (D Mass.) pleaded against a GOP-le- d economy drive with a warning that the "world is looking either to Washington or the Kremlin." On the passage vote, 125 Repub licans joined 229 Democrats in favor of the bill. Rep. John M, Vorys (R.. Oliim backed an amendment to cut of OLD AGE: No Elixir Impending old age affects many people in many ways. But to all who stand on its threshold, it is a topic of prime consideration. Of late, science, medicine and the psychiatrists all have been con-cerned with the subject and appar-ently little loath to be heard upon it. LATEST to ponder the problem of how one should approach old age and what may be expected in this period of life was a conference of 800 physicians from all over the nation. These physicians were all agreed that one of the biggest problems facing the medical profession in the problems of old age is making those added years healthy, happy and useful. Throughout the conference the warning was sounded again and again that something must be done to give men and women not only long life, but a healthy, happy and useful old age. THE SIMPLE and sad fact is that man's life has been extended beyond his present capacity to en-joy it as a useful citizen, the medi-cal authorities agreed. For in pro-longing life, science also prolonged suffering and misery all the chronic illnesses and disabilities which plague mankind in the declin-ing years. Dr. Chauncey Leake, of the Un-iversity of Texas, said that young people as early as in high school should be taught how to grow old that is, how to cultivate hobbies and Intellectual curiosity and how to develop a systematic regimen for physical and mental hygiene. He declared the country should have an "old-ag- e program" similar to the child-car- e program. HE ALSO URGED increased re-search on drugs which may help the aged by preventing the dis-orders to which old people are sub-ject. But, coming out by the same door wherein he went, he warned that all hope for an "elixir of life" must be dismissed that there is no "miracle drug" to restore youth to ihe aged. Wherein he delivered himself of a truism well known even as Ponce de Leon was searching for the fountain of eternal vouth. 5u million dollars from the ap propriations. which was defeats Vorys, saying he favored the Mir shall plan and the North Atlanl.. pact, nevertheless warned that "v, have to keep strong here at hnn, - if we are to help out abro.-.- Vorys offered an amendment oi own to term what he called tt,.

J The Fiction ARTISTIC ANCESTORS Corner "But here'a the rub," Fred grinned. "That book of poema is an old manuscript that be-longed to my grandmother. After grandmother died, mother found the 'script, thought the poema were worthy of publication, added a few of her own choice verses, and submitted the retyped copy to a publisher. Mr. Pub-lisher ate the stuff up. "Mother was thrilled. She thought she must have real talent, and went down to the library to study up and read the masters. While perusing a volume of Walt Whitman she discovered some of the very poems that her mother had supposedly written. . "Of course, mother immediately wired the publisher, advising him to cease manufacturing the book, and explaining that her mother must have copied some of her favorite Whitman poems, in order to save them. But Mr. Publisher had al-ready printed about 2000 copies, which were ready for distribution. Mother bought up the edition and destroyed all but one, which she kept for sentimental reasons. Tha One is the book I gave Aime thL morning." UT WISH," said Aime Butterworth wistfully, "I only wish there had been some one in our family who really did something, something worth while, something" she smiled as she said it "I could brag about." Fred Butterworth laid aside the morning paper, gulped down the last of his coffee, shoved back his chair and said: "What?" Aime overlooked his rudeness. "The bridge club meets here this afternoon," she said, "and I 31 -- MiniltB dread it. I Fiction dread it be- - cause Aggie Spencer and and Gertrude Wilcox will monopo-lize the conversation with stories of their ancestors. Fred scratched his chin and con-templated the wistful look in his wife's eyes. Suddenly he banged the table. "By George, I'd almost for-gotten it! Darned if I hadn't. You sit here a minute, sweet, till I rum-mage around in the attic. I'll give you something to brag about!" Later he returned with a book. "But what is it?" asked Aime. "It's a book of poetry, that's what it is! Written by my mother and published 20 years ago. There's tal-ent in my family, I'll have you know." Aime's eyes lighted, thea glowed with sudden joy. "Fred! You dear! Is it really? Was your mother really a poet? Oh, why didn't you tell me before! It's just too exciting!" Fred grinned delightedly. En-rou- te to the station he began to smile. And by the time he had boarded the 8:15 the smile had de-veloped into an occasional chuckle. Tom Cooke, who usually sat with Fred during the short run to the city, became curious. "Say, what's eating you this morning? Let a man in on it if you've got something that'll fetch a laugh these dull days." Fred laughed outright. "I'll tell you, Tom. It's too good to keep. But don't on your life breathe a word. It would kill Aime." epOM MADE SOLEMN promises and cocked his ear. "Well," said Fred. "Aime was upset this morning because she didn't have anything to brag about at her bridge club. The other members, it seems, have artistic ancestors. It made Aime feel bad to think she married into such an uninteresting family, so I dug into an old trunk and pro-duced a book of poems that rro'her published 20 years ago, and v!d her to. brag about that." Tom looked puzzled. "What's wrong with that? I'd say a mother-in-lav- v poet was O.K." By INEZ GERHARD li It YANKEE at King Arthur's Court" has been screened three times; Paramount's new ver-sion is the best of the three. Done in Technicolor, with delightful new songs, it stars Bing Crosby, Sir Cecil Hardwick, Rhonda Fleming and William Bendix. Sir CeciL su-perb in his comedy role as the king, raises his voice in song and i ' $) Bing Crosby also appears with bare knees, some-thing new for him, though he said recently at luncheon that it's the second time the knees have ap-peared publicly. The first time was on the stage, when he wore a Roman toga. This is a picture for the whole family to enjoy, expert-ly directed and acted, beautifully staged. Paramount will tell movie audien-ces about 11 of its new pictures in a nine-minut- e short, "Eyes on Hollywood"; starring Alan Ladd and Mary Jane Saunders, it de-picts the thrills of a child seeing the inside workings of a studio the first time. Stars, directors, every-body will be seen in special scenes. The film will be available to thea-ters without charge. King, dog veteran of numer-ous landings in the Pacifio during the war, makes his screen debut in "After Mid-night." In his first scene he leaped at Alan Ladd, tore bis leather jacket to shreds, and hung on in a struggle on the ground then, when Director Mitchell Leisen called "Cut," King immediately relaxed his grip and tried to lick Ladd'a face! Another animal actor celebrated his 13th birthday the other day, on the set of Monogram's "The Kia Came West." He was Rebel, the black horse used by Johnny Mack Brown and his birthday cake was made of straw, with carrots for candles.
