TWINKLE, TWINKLE, NEXT YEAR S CAR
Besides having almost as many lights, this year’s
aiutomobiles are outshining the Yule Tree ornaments
with their expansive and gleaming brightwork !
What makes this generous use of polished metal trim
noteworthy is the fact that so many auto industry
soothsayers and crystal gazers had led us to believe
that the 1957 models would be practically naked.
And since the auto makers ar very realistic and
practical people, there must be a reason for the big
dazzle instead of the trimless wonders we had expected.
In fact, we suspect there are several reasons.
For one thing, the increasing use of stainless steel
gives them a solid metal to work with. There’s nothing
ito wear off, pit or peel. It retains its lustre as long as
it lasts, will never rust, in spite of salt air, salt water,
road salt or other blizzard-fighting highway chemicals.
And the strength of this high-alloy steel in those
long body mouldings means extra protection from the
doors of the car parked close by. Full wheel-covers,
which have become one of the newly popular auto
mobile accessories, are made of the same extra tough
metal. And, for the very latest, there is the all-stainless
hard-top!
But we suspect the overpowering reason for the
increasing gleam and glitter is that people like their
cars that way . . . and with stainless steel to give the
glitter new permanence and durability, the brightwork,
as well as the gas-buggy, is here to stay.
In Alaska, about 58 percent of the population is
under 25 years of age; in the United States, 41.5 per
cent is under 25 years.
A taxpayer is one person who works for the gov
ernment without taking a civil service examination.
Two American Express
Messengers Robbed of
12,000 Pounds in England
LONDON, ft—Two messengers
of the American Express Co. were
attacked and robbed of about
12,000 pounds ($33,600) in a split
second theft outside a bank in
suburban South Rulslip today.
The messengers, their heads
battered with blackjacks, were
taken to a hospital. Their attack
ers escaped in an automobile.
The messengers called at the
bank for British currency for
their American Express branch
at the U.S. Air Force headquar
ters in South Ruislip.
As they left with a money-filled
bag, they were assailed near the
door by two men who slugged
them, grabbed the bag and then
jumped into a waiting auto.

Passports of Three
Newsmen in Red
China Revoked
WASHINGTON, UP>—1The three
American newsmen who entered
Red China last week have had
their passports revoked, except
for travel back to the United
States. They also may face legal
action by the U.S. government.
The State Department Friday
announced the moves against
Wiliiam D. Worthy, a Negro re
porter for the Baltimore Afro
American, and a Look magazine
team—reporter Edmund Stevens
and photographer Phillip Har
rington.
It accused them of misusing
their passports by going into
Communist China where travel
by Americans is banned under
U.S. government policy. News
men of other nations face no such
restrictions by their governments.
Worthy entered Red China thru
Hong Kong a week ago. Stevens
and Harrington were reported to
have reached Peiping from Mos
cow last Wednesday.
The two magazines declined to
comment on the State Depart
ment’s action.
The department said it had
learned the three U.S. newsmen
“have gone to Communist China
despite the fact that the passports
issued to them . . . were specific
ally marked invalid for travel to
Communist China.”
Colonialism Study
Says U.S. Should
Grant Statehood
WASHINGTON, GW—A study
on colonialism recommended to
day that the United States give
its territories a seat in Congress
“if it is to avoid being the last of
the colonial powers.”
The recommendation was made
by Emil J. Sady in a book pub
lished today by the Brookings In
stitution, a private research or
ganization.
Sady said statehood is the ob
vious goal for Alaska and Hawaii.
To the Virgin Islands, Guam
and the Pacific Trust Territory,
he said, the United States should
grant non-voting representation
in Congress.
Sady said four-fifths of the
people who were under colonial
ruie before World War II have
achieved independence or full
self-government.

Will Be Born Jan. 25
To Princess Grace
MONTE CARLO, Monaco, tiP—
A doctor attending Princess Grace
of Monaco took a guess today
that the former movie star’s baby
will be born Jan. 25.
Previously, the baby had been
expected early in February. But
whatever the date, the royal pal
ace is ready. The American prin
cess and Prince Rainier long ago ;
made their last purchases for the '
occasion—including a wicker crib
—and the royal nursery has been
redecorated.
