Ike Goes to People
Since President Eisenhower left until
later messages the specific details of his
program, to. shore up American prosperity,
his )>Te-Congress speech to the nation must
he viewed hi a broad light.
Its prime significance, perhaps, lies in
1 the fact that on an-important issue—the
maintenance of high economic levelsr-the
Preaident saw fit to go directly to the peo-
ple with his assurances of action. And he
took his case there even before delivering
his regular State of the Union message,
which itself is automatically guaranteed a
wide hearing.
Evidently the decision to speak to the
nation in this manner reflects an enlarg-
ing administration pattern—the determi-
nation to seek the support and confidence
of the people as a lever to force favorable
action on the President’s legislative pro-
gram.
It is ho secret that the months ahead in
Congress will provide Mr. Eisenhower with
the'toughest tests he has had since taking
the White House. Opposition to many
parts of his program is certain to come
both from powerful elements in his own
party hnd from increasingly displeased
segments of the^Democratic Party.
Again and again the President has
been advised that his strength lies with
the people and that if he would put his
proposals across he must draw upon this
substance. One way to do it is go about
the country meeting people at first hand.
Another is to utilize radio-TV channels
steadily.
The Jan. 4 speech obviously is a step
in the execution of such a plan. Mr. Eisen-
hower knows the Republican Party must
have a record to show if they are to make
strides at the polls in November. He be-
lieves the people can help him make that
record, that they are for the things he fa-
vors.
If he is right, then his direct approach-
es will produce pressure on Congress to
back his specific plans.
One other vital factor undoubtedly gov-
erned the. making of the Jan. 4 speech.
Talk of recession, of mounting unemploy-
ment, is gaining in the land. The Presi-
dent wanted to reassure the people per-
sonally that no “boom-or-bust” economy
would be allowed to develop in this coun-
try.
He was probably well advised when it
was suggested that he calm the nation’s
fears by communicating Ills own warm
confidence and strength to the American
citizenry.
In this role, the President is acting with
all the jtffwer and prestige an Omerican
President can muster. Soon we shall learn
whether Congress is willing that he should
act with such vigor and forthrightness.
Washington Letter...
BY JANE EADS
A*. STAFF WAITER
Washington.—The Barones* Silvercruy*, love-
ly blonde bride of the Belgian ambassador, i* ac-
claimed the moat beautiful and most photogenic
women in Waahington by o group of veteran news
-photographer* whom I hare polled.
“She photographs well from every angle, any-
way you shoot at her,” one of dm most critical of
the cameramen told me.
The boys tell me that the baroness, the former
Rosemary McMahon, widow of the Connecticut sen-
ator, has always been on# of their favorites among
Washington hortesses. Besides being beautiful,
•be is gracious and accommodating. 4
. **amie Eisenhower, who is of course constantly
in the lena-light, is also a popular subjsct, always
ready yitb a smile and the proper gesture.
Joseph ,f?. Davies, wife of the former am-
r to Moscow, a wealthy, super-elegant
is the meet regal type. "She has the most
upswung hairdo with never a single hair
outfof line, and her clothe* are real expensive
looking,” says one photogranher.! ^ _ 1
The boy* alwys like to photograph Margaret
Truman when she comes to town. “She’s such a
good sport.”
Women members of Congress are old hands at
posing, and that makes the photogs’ really gruell-
ing job less difficult, but they say they have trou-
ble with Mrs. Ovela Culp Hobby, secretary of
health, education and welfnrew—Xbey find her at-
tractive-looking, but “It’s just hard work getting
her to pose,” One says. “She’s always too busy,
ami you have to go through so much red tape.
She’s about as tough as that other woman Cabinet
member—you know. Fanny Perkins.”
The boys take a dim view of top hostesses
Perle Mesta and Gwen Cafriu.
“Mrs. Cafritx always makes a production of
It,"'one photographer explained. “She wants to
have n plushy background and likes to change her
dresses a couple of times. You’d think you were
photographing a movie star.”
As for Perle Mesta, the boys like her fine, but
say its difficult to get a good picture of her. “Aw,
she’s always the same,” one said. “See that smile?
It never changes. You can’t get anything differ-
ent, It’s like the trouble we always had with Harry
Truman.’’

A beautiful British-born star,
Jean Simmons, got rave notices
when ehe played Ophelia to Lau-
rence Oliver's “Hamlet.” When
she made that film Jeas was un-
der contract to J. Arthur Rank.
But when the English film mag-
nate had to cut down on his
movie-making, he sold Jean’s ser-
vices to Howard Hughes.
The lovely star was anxious
to make another picture, but
Hughe* kept Iter idle for months
at a time. Then, to beat a legal _______

to court about it and finally Won
certain concessions. She was al-
lowed to do three pictures away
from R K 0. They were “The
Robe,” “Young Bess," and “The
Actress.”
With her contract coming to
n close, Hughts sold her services
to a producer she had never heard
of. Again she was required to
make three fast pictures. When
she saw the script for the/first
one, “A Bulktt Is Waiting,” she
thought it wan ail a joke. But
now she is making the picture,
ahe says she’s a little happier
about it. At least she’s the only
woman in the cast, and her lead-
ing men are Rory Calhoun and
Steve McNally.
Jean Simmons photographs ex-
ceptionally well. She is 5 feet 4,
elender, and has dark brown hair
and hazel eyes. She bears quite
a resemblance to American film
Mar Elisabeth Taylor. Both girts
are married to British Mata
Elizabeth to Michael Wilding, and
Jean to Stewart /Granger.
Jean was horn in London. Her
late father, Charles Simmons,
was a teacher. When dancing
became one of 200 girls trying
out for the role of Margaret
Lockwood’s pister in “Give Us
The Moon.” Jean was the wnner,
and at the age of 14 wes launch-
ed on her flm career.
She was 16 when she leaped to
stardom In “Great Expectations."
Other mportant roles followed,
and Jean had won foui^ important
international film atrarda before
coming to the United States in 19-
50. lLater that same year — after
her arrival in Hollywood — Jean
Simmons and Stewart Granger
went to Tucon, Arizona, and were
married.
Jean feels that she has become
“very American" now that she
has made Hollywood her home.
She now is an ardent, baseball and
football fan. She lives in a smali
typically Californian home, and
collects records, swims, plays
informal clothes,
and going to dances.
Hichael Kidd is one of the
dance world today. He dreamed
most important names in the
compliment for his work in “The
High and Mighty” came from the
author, Ernest Gann. On Bob’s
script Ganp wrefe. that he was
an excellent choice lor the role,
and Gann added “I couldn't have
asked for hotter.”.
“Crime Wave” is an action
drama based on a magazine story

Sideline Fights Expected

WASHINGTON—(NBA)—Whilo tho big farm light in Congress
W will bo over the as-yot-unrevoolod Eisenhower-Benson pro-
gram, then are a dozen or more sideline ware coming up which
may be just at much fun.
Contrary to a rather general impression, the tprerrel la not over

What expiree at the end of next year is the 1050 amendment
which guarantees 90 per cent of parity support prices on Rio prin-
cipal non perishable crop*. In case of a coogresMooal deadlock,
Congress might pen another temporary extension of the present
high supports, and let it go at that HU after tea 1004 Martina.
REORGANIZATION of the Soli CrtnurvatlMi Sanrira Is sure to
11 ha brought up in debate. There are two aparifla nmtutm in
this same field which are holdovers of unfinished business tram
the last session of Congress.
One Je a bill by Rep. CUflwS R. Hope of Kansas, chairman «f
the Houm Agriculture Committee, to extend ** kad watenhed-
' development program. A previous, tatoal appropriation of (S
million for the development of 00 small watersheds has now bom
allocated. j
Another drive la on to increase the size of Department of AM-]
culture loans to soil conservation districts and other small group*
that want to put in retaining dams and poods. The presant limit
under the Pope-Jones Water Facilities Act is $100,000 tor each
project. The program is further limited to the IT western states.
A major hassle is expected In consideration of a bill sponsored
by Chairman Hope in the House and by Sen. Clinton Anderson
(D., N. M.) to protect the national forests from damage through
mining claims. ,
TTEARINGS on this bill were held rally in 1053. The need for
11 new legislation is said to arise from fake mining claims filed
just to get control of the land for grazing or Umber. Forest con-
servation groups want to stop this exploitation. Department of;
Interior spokesmen have, in the past, backed the mining interests
in opposition to the Forest Service. So an interdepartmental feud
is brewing. 1
Another proposal of concern to the Forest Service is a series of
bills to seH to private owners submarginal lands acquired for soil
conservation work. Department of Agriculture has resisted this
move because it might lead to the creation of another dust bowl.
Department of Agriculture does not now plan to press for ex-
tension of the rural housing program under the general home
finance legislation. The reason given is that this activity now
duplicates in part the work of the Farm Home Administration and
there is no need to have both programs.
Secretary of Agriculture Ezra Taft Benson’s reorganization plan
is expected to cause some criticism and debate, but win eventual
approval. Senate ratification of the new Assistant Secretaries John
H. Davis and Ross Rizley is likewise expected to go through with-
out much opposition.

An official of the Hotel Sher-

Two other Worcester restau-

15 cents per cup on Monday.
Current coffee news includes
that green, or raw, coffee prices
fell again at New York yester-
day, and also once more on prof-
it-taking by New York commis-

New York cocoa traders also
have taken profits from a straight
week of price gains. So whole-

think the recent sharp rise in
their product has been overdone.
