Gromyko Accuses
(Continued from Page One)
the armed forces of the >U. S.
S. R. have everything necessary
to safeguard the peaceful life of
the Soviet people, and, if need be,
deal a crushing retaliatory blow
at any aggressor.”
The U. S. Air Force Command,
Gromyko said, has confirmed
that American bombers carrying
atomic and hydrogen bombs are
repeatedly sent across the North
Pole toward the Soviet Union.
American radar screen oper
ators have mistaken electronic
disturbances or meteorite show
ers for guided missiles or ballis
tic rocket rockets, he said.
In every instance so far the
bombers were turned back as
soon as the error was discovered,
he said.
“But what would happen if
these generals—whose nerves, as
the facts show, often give way—
were not able to distinguish in
time a flying meteorite from a
guided missile and the American
bombers continued their flights
and approached the borders of
the Soviet Union.”
Geese Trigger Alarm
The first hint of the Soviet
protest came Sunday. The Army
newspaper Red Star charged a
flight of geese triggered air raid
alarms that sent U. S. planes fly
ing toward Russia with hydrogen
bombs. Red Star said the Penta
gon mistook the geese for Soviet
missiles.
“There is an old saying that
geese once saved Rome,” Red
Star added. “This time Ameri
can geese could ruin the United
States. But the main fault lies
not in the flying geese but the
geese who wear uniforms and
kindle military hysteria . . . giv
ing dangerous orders.”
True Portrayal
Needs Careful Study
Of all the screen actors known
for their deeply etched character
izations, Clifton Webb is prob
ably the most meticulous in his
attention to detail. With a true
artist’s understanding, he knows
that it is often the small' care
fully observed details that add
up to a convincing impersonation.
So the Hollywood star, famous
for his Saville Row clothes, went
into the nearest clothing store
and bought a ready-made suit. |
He then wore it at home for j
several days, to give it that j
“lived-in” look.
While making “The Man Who
Never Was” for 20th Century
Fox, Webb again showed how he
goes about building a character.
Because he was to play Ew*n
Montagu, a British Naval Of
ficer, he asked for permission to
spend some time at the Ad
miralty Office. He felt that this
would give him a true picture
of what the atmosphere was like,
how naval personnel walked,
talked and addressed each other.

j ;No Girls Wanted’
| SAN PEDRO, Calif., W-Wom
i en may wear overalls, drive
1 trucks, throw the discus, operate
| jackhammers and steal their hus
: bands’ razors.
But never will girls violate the
I sanctity of one of the world’s
I last great masculine strongholds,
i the San Pedro Boys’ Club.
Club director Nick Trani was
] dredging around for a topic for
! the club’s annual essay contest,
j He finally came up with this:
“Should the boys’ club allow
| girls to use club facilities”.
The 10-year-old organization
| stunned that such a question
j should even be brought up, put
| their feet down with indignant
finality. Quotes from a few of
their essays:
“No, because they take off
their shoos and shoo (show) their
toes.”
“No! But if they come in, let
| us have some nasinal (national)
gards ... to defend ourselves.”
From the 11-year-olds.
“No. Boys can’t think with
girls around.”
“No . . . The YWCA is for
girls and that is where they
should belong. If we boys tried
to join the YWCA ... do you
think they would let us join. No!”
“No. They were shoes instead
of tenasshoes.”
The unanimity began to fade
with the 13-year-olds, one of
whom acknowledged:
“Yes! Girls would make it
popular. And also I like them.”
“No! There would be fights
because of them buttin in.”
The 15 year olds, although
heavily outnumbered, were about
all snagged by nature’s tender
trap. Said one:
“Yes. I like girls and I think
it would be more fun.”
But there was at least one res
ervation:
“Yes. Girls should be allowed
to use the facilities—by appoint
ment only.”
Director Trani’s decision:
A girl couldn’t get into the San
Pedro Boys’ Club if she smoked
a pipe, used snuff and wore a
derby.

continued.”

be made out of the recession,”
he said.
The public works bill author

running up to 50 years at a
per cent interest rate for a wide
variety of public works projects
including school and hospital
construction as well as such stand
by works as streets and sewers.
