Show I MILLARD COUNTY CHRONTCLE, DELTA, UTAH ,,, WHAT THIS COUNTRY NEEDS MOST . . . Boola Boola Boys Battle Bicarb Busing ... ARE MORE COLLEGES FOR ' ' ' By H. I. PHILLIPS --J; COLLEGE FOR CHEFS G. I. Schools in cooking, menu planning, restaurant operation and hotel management are being con-ducted in various parts of the coun-try, with one more or less affliated with Yale. For this we give a lusty cheer. If there is one field in which plenty of education is needed, is it in the operation of the average American restaurant and lunchroom. The eating places of this country are presided over largely by chefs who are strictly e boys. . Even the proper technique In fry- - ing an egg escapes them. Their idea of a good dinner is anything that has been in and out of a grease bath. And they can make coffee taste like essence of marine varnish. They got into the business on a bet, learned to cook by taking an elementary course in arson and kept their jobs because the boss ate elsewhere. A college for chefs, cooks and stewards Is a crying need. America desperately needs it. The customers are tired of be-ing guinea pigs for apprentice boys whose motto is, "W yon can eat It without catsup, it's our mis-take." There are G. I. students from 38 states in the school at New Haven. The boys study cooking under ex-perts and nobody who thinks two minutes are enough for a four-minu-egg makes the team. No student with a fixed idea that any sandwich is tasty if well uphol-stered with faded lettuce finishes his freshman year. We understand special attention is paid to the matter of chicken pies and beef stews and that the dean flunks any student who insists all a chicken pie needs to be ir-resistible is a slight segment of wing, one quartered potato and a boiled onion whipped in glue. As for menu planners, ah, there's a field! Take 150,000 middle-clas- s restaurants In this country today, and 149,923 think the menu has been radically changed if the string beans are left out. Dietitians? Yes and no. Per-sonally, we think that the moment a person gets a sheepskin as a dietition he or she thinks it is a license to skimp on all the essen-tials of lunch except eggplant and coleslaw.

Grace Noll Crowell WEEKLY NEWS ANALYSIS I Truman Ignores Program Setback, Insists Congress Is Cooperating; Approval Seen for Vets' Pension (EDITOR'S NOTE: When opinions are expressed In these columns, they are those of Western Newspaper Union's news analysts and not necessarily of this newspaper.) MEMORY: Ours Is Short To manj who had experienced the horrors of war and who had met German foemen in battle, American policy in Germany was almost maddening. Official ap-proval of selection of a group of to manage the Ruhr Ger-many's greatest g pote-ntialwas bringing cries of protest from all over the nation. The grasp of the was reaching farther and farther into Germany's vital affairs and the optimism of the group that their desires would be fulfilled was sig-nificant. Latest manifestation of the trend was a statement by Hans Thomsen, who was the Nazis' last charge d'af-faires in Washington, that he and other veteran Hitler diplomats ex-pected to resume their careers in the "new Germany." There was no lack of cockiness in Thomsen's stand. Said he: "The new German government cannot get along without the old Wilhelm-strass- e men who know their busi-ness." He is now in the banking business in Hamburg. The old pattern was becoming increasingly clear. Smart diplo-mats, seeking a rampart against communism, were using this same objective to Germany as a European power a buffer against the Reds. SWALLOWS: Unfailing Legend The old, old legend was unfailing. Always the swallows had come back to Capistrano, and this time they came again. THE LEGEND was fulfilled to the day. Through the long, lazy centuries that the birds have al-ways been coming back to San Juan Capistrano, their return has always been on the same day each year St. Joseph's day. And this year there was no devia-tion. On St. Joseph's day the birds came sweeping back at dawn to fly into their homes under the eaves of the historic old mission. "They do not come in huge swarms as some reports have it," an old padre said. "Instead they arrive in small contingents, 50 to 75 at a time." Father Hutchinson, pastor, said that the birds usually leave in July after their young can fly. They travel to nearby canyons to feed where insects are plentiful, he in-dicated. I Explains Pact " I - . i Dean Acheson, secretary of state, explains north Atlantic pact at special press conference at the state department. PACT: Reds Burn The Kremlin and its satellites were literally burned up over the north Atlantic treaty alliance. To the Russians the pact was a "deceptive instrument of war aimed against" them. THE CONTROLLED Russian press and radio joined in the clamor, branding the pact as the work of trying to wreck the United Nations. The general theme was that the alliance was the "main weapon of the aggressive policy of the ruling circles of the United States, Brit-ain and France." The Russian stew was under-standable. By this diplomatic coup western powers had managed to abate somewhat the legend of Soviet invincibility among the smaller countries and at the same time to serve notice on the Russians that any further violence or aggression within the pact area would mean war. PRESIDENCY: 'Say It Isn't So' Was President Truman emu-lating the ostrich with the old "head in the sand" technique, or was he naive enough to believe what he was saying? This seemed a fair question when Mr. Truman, despite multiple set-backs in congress for-hi- s legisla-tive program, declared he and the congress were cooperating and that only "troublemakers" talked of bad feeling between them. MR. TRUMAN had suffered three major setbacks in attempting to have his campaign pledges en-acted into law. He had been blocked on rent controls, appoint-ment of Mon C. Walgren as a key figure in the national defense set-up, and civil rights proposals. But, the President shook off these reverses by ignoring them In a speech to the United States con-ference of mayors in Washington. Instead, he told the mayors: "Of course I differ with the congress on some points and where these differences are important I shall continue to urge the course I think is right. "BUT, BASICALLY, the congress and the President are working to-gether and will continue to work together for the good of the whole country. We are going to agree on a lot more things than we disagree on." Many observers took the view that the President's remarks in-dicated adoption of new strategy in dealing with congress that an attitude of "soft words" might be held more advisable than angry denunciations of the lawmakers. PENSIONS: Who Pays? It was beginning to appear that a veteran's pension bill in some form would be enacted by the 81st congress. Prodded by Rep: John Rankin (D., Miss.), of the house Teteran's affairs committee, the measure under consideration would give veterans of World Wars I and BOGEY MAN: Solons Defiant Figuratively thumbing its col--. Iective nose at the "big man" the United States senate by a vote of 50 to 11 confirmed the appointment of Dr. James Boyd as director of the federal bureau of mines. THE "BIG MAN" was John L. Lewis, leader of the United Mine Workers of America, and he wanted no part of Dr. Boyd in the federal mine regulation setup. The senate action came while Lewis had the pressure on. Lewis' miners were in the second week of a y shutdown ordered by Lewis who termed the stoppage a "memorial" to miners killed and injured last year. Chief speculation concerned the import of. the senate action. Did it mean that government, finally, was ready to clamp down on the dictatorial Lewis and abolish his power as a continuing threat to American industry? It could mean that, if Lewis' mine stoppage resulted in a re-versal of labor sentiment among some members of congress and a really "get-tough- " labor law were to be enacted. What Next? j 1 f . ' r - . I . V' : f! i Coal operators and coal con-sumers were wondering what would be the next move in John L. Lewis' campaign strategy. Lewis, above, had called the miners out in a two-wee-k stop-page which be described as a "memorial" to miners killed and hurt in 1948. II automatic pensions of $90 a month at age 65. Budget bureau experts contend this would cost the nation upwards of 125 billion dol-lars over the next 50 years, WHO WOULD PAY the cost of the pensions? American taxpapers, of course, and among these would be all the veterans who might some j day receive the bonus. As one young war veteran put it, "By the ' time I reached 65, I would have gone broke trying to pay taxes to grant me a pension." i That's the viewpoint of some veterans. There are many others who honestly feel they are entitled to a pension and would readily accept an "installment" tax pay-- ; ment period between their present age and age 65 in order to get the pension. SOME OPPONENTS of the pen-- j sion measure favored restricting j pensions only to veterans of World ; War I, but it was obvious no such proposal as this would be enacted. There were too many World War II veterans who would oppose that simply on the principle of discrimi- - aation, no matter how they might j feel basically about the pension proposal. On the first test of the measure, It was almost lost, but swift par-liamentary maneuvering saved it from being returned to committee where it might have died a nat-ural death. DRAFT: Easing Off Military draft eligibles could re-lax Maj. Gen. John E. Dahl-quis- t, army personnel chief, said no more men will be inducted into the army before July, 1950; and that's when the present peacetime draft act expires. SO. IT SEEMED that the peace-rim- e draft was virtually over, ex-cept for the possibility of enact-ment of a new act or extension by congress of the present law. However, the national defense es-tablishment hastened to state that General Dahlquist was giving only his opinion that no draft policy has been laid down, and that no one knows what the future holds. IT WAS REGARDED as signifi-cant that there have been no induc-tions under the present law since the end of January because volun-tary enlistments have filled quotas, and army officials have said that budget reductions forced them to cut their proposed strength. THE TERMS OF the pact do not actually say that; but they say something which is the same. That is that pact nations shall construe an attack on any member as an attack upon them all, and even the dumbest Muscovite could under-stand what that meant. The treaty, however, was not without its critics at home. John Foster Dulles, slated to be secre-tary of state had Dewey nabbed the presidency, was anything but enthusiastic about the alliance. In fact, Dulles observations on the subject were such as to raise the ire of Dean Acheson, secretary of state, who charged that Dulles was put out because he, Dulles, couldn't get over Dewey's defeat and how he might have been secretary of state himself but for that. RENT CURBS: Outlook Dim Overriding administration recom-mendations, the senate voted to let town and city governments abolish rent controls in their areas if the state governors approve. THERE WERE MANY who would discern instantly the political im-plication inherent in such a move. In states where governors are per-mitted under law to succeed them-selves and even in states which do not permit this governors are usually concerned with or with naming their successors. Abolition of rent control power could be used as a potent weapon with which to beat recalcitrant voters into line. As anyone familiar with legisla-tive processes knows, organiza-tions are always the most power-ful and effective lobbyists. Land-lords have a national organization which already has been vociferously vocal at Washington. There has been no organization of renters and tenants, not even at the state or county level. Those who are heard in g assemblies are those who are organized and who know how to obtain hearings. And these organizations usually manage to do rather well for themselves. IN WHATEVER FORM the bill finally emerges from the senate, it must go to a conference committee In order to iron out differences be-tween house and senate versions. States righters would herald the local option features of the control bill with elation and landlord groups would find it easier to attempt legislative pressure in their own back yards. ' " I The Fief ion MAGIC MONTH Mf;,B Corner proud of himself and ready for any-thing that came along he just went right after the mechanics job he saw advertised In the morning paper. Saturday night the whole family gathered for the radio program telling of the contest and the win-ners. "But I didn't win," Andy said helplessly when the program was over, "they didn't mention my name and that Robert Am-herst won the five hundred dol-lars." The door bell Interrupted Andy and when the messenger boy gave him a telegram he glanced at it and ripped it open. "HOW DID IT FEEL TO BE A PRIZE WIT FOR A FEW DAYS? STOP. : BOYS.

"If they hadn't done It we'd be angry with each other," pointed out, "and you wouldn't!: your job and we wouldn't be r ning on getting married." HELEN AND ANDY weren't They were sitting in metal chairs which were placed at right angles to each other, instead of side by side on the glider, and the glow in their eyes was replaced by anger. "The trouble is you have no am-bition!" Helen was saying as her wide set gray eyes flashed signals, "You act lazy!" The long curls were given a toss I as she got to her Minute feet. 3- - Fiction Andy got up too. I He gave her the one sided smile he'd brought home from war with him and shrugged his heavy shoul-ders. Andy had blond curls, too-ti-ght to his well shaped head and the merriest of hazel eyes. "You can say that again," he told Helen, "I act lazy, do I?" He thought: Well, that's that and I'll and get as far from Hyville as pos sible. When he got home the radio was playing jive and he wound one leg over the chair beside it. His mother came into the room and said, "aren't you going to look for a job today, son?" As he worried for an answer the announcer interrupted the program to tell about a soap contest. "Five hundred dollars for first prize," he said, "just tell in twenty-fiv- e words why you like Sudzy-Soa- p best!" "I'm trying to think up an entry for the contest, Mom," said Andy directing his hazel eyes up and grinning like an imp, "only I'll have to have the wrappers from three bars of the darned soap." Andy Tyson tried not to under-stand that she inferred he had wasted too many afternoons. He made great work of wording his en-try and addressed the envelope for mailing. Habit turned his steps Into the corner store where the fellows laughed and teased him about his entry. Half angry again he hurried ont of the place and tossed the letter Into the near- est mailbox. In the three weeks that went by he didn't go near Helen nor did he ook f0r a j0b. Qne day nto the next and a laxness seemed to hold him tight. He was marking time and getting more dissatisfied with every passing hour.

By INEZ GERHARD T"EE ENGELBACH, producer-- director of CBS' "Hallmark Playhouse," may not be a r, but Joan Fontaine, Irene Dunne, Gregory Peck and many other stars agree that he gets performances from actors who might not give them otherwise. Miss Fontaine did "Random Harvest" on the Play-house and asked to have him di-rect her next picture. Peck had JOAN FONTAINE fought off requests to play Abra-ham Lincoln, saying he was a cinch to be typed as Lincoln and wanted to postpone it but could not refuse the role, in "The Prairie Years," with Engelbach directing. "Tactful but forceful direction" that's what they say they get from him. Hollywood has lured two of "The Guiding Light" cast into its fold. Willard Waterman, "Ray Bran-don", starts work as Bing Crosby's stuffy brother-in-la- in "Riding High", and Betty Gerson, the fe-male lead, will have a leading role in a picture at Republic that's un-named so far. This will be Miss Gerson's first film venture, so Here's luck to her. The new "March of Time" may ?ive you a lot of ideas, if you don't mow where to spend your next va-cation.

It wasn't censorship at all. the President said, which caused presi-dential party attaches to seize photos taken of Mr Truman while he was swimming. It was just that Mrs. Bess Truman doesn't want her husband traipsin' around clad only in bathing trunks, and Harry S.
