UTAH, SUNDAY, MAY By PETER EDSON NEA Washington Correspondent f WASHINGTON (NEA) -- Secretary of Commerce Weeks has turned to the stage to promote! the Sinclair business services of his vast department. And Actor Ray Middleton, star of "South Pacific" and "Annie Get Your Gun," has donated his talents to help put over the show. Other actors are Department of' Commerce executives who play themselves. Secretary Weeks doesn't appear in the cast. But Wendell Barnes, head of the'U. S. Small Business Adto help peddle his ministration, has become line of government aid, and he goes on in Act III! Their show, "The Golden Key," got a sneak preview tryout in Boston before a conference of 500 New England businessmen.

The worst year was 1953; when .deaths mounted to 29J During the past 10 years, abandoned refrigerators have been respon sible for the deaths of at least 110 chil dren. Their ages have ranged from two to 12 years. The Javerage age of the victims has been live years. The most encouraging recent development is recognition of the problem by in dividual manufacturers of refrigerators and the move by some members of the in dustry, to eliminate it.

The important: Mr. Robertson thing about the story itself is that you have to know something bout' Communist politics if you want to follow world events in-tellieentlv. It is the unwritten story here that is' important. That is: What does it mean to us? You may s it means nothing because we have no Communist party, and therefore no problem. :We, by legislative decree abolished the party. In our simple American way we believe that all we have to do to destroy an evil is pass a'lawi against it. Why worry about the Communist party here since it no longer exists? We have a law against murder, too, but we still have murderers. And we still have Communists, Just as' many as we ever had perhaps more, since we nave ' driven them j underground ' and have no way of knowing what they are doing. Why are we so timid, as compared to England, and other European countries? Sorely they live. under the threat as much as we do. The British even have CoM.rumhts in Parliament. A Communist Congressman here would send us all shivering into our cellars. Of course we can't h:'ve one here because we have no Community party unless he should pose as a Republican or a Democrat, which is not without the range of possibility. '. .Which method is' wisest, ours or the British? The British know what the Communists are doing at all times. We have to guess. The British Izt Vzzra tIow- - off steam, and answer them cpenly.
