j
Britain Stands 50-50
On Steel
ram
By DEWITT MacKENZIE
AP Foreign Affairs Analyst
Britain’s socialist government
has won a doubtful parliamentary
victory. It narrowly defeated the
Conservative attempt to compel its
downfall over the controversal
steel nationalization program.
This attack was led by former
Prime Minister Winston Churchill
in best fighting form. It was pre
cipitated by the government’s an
nouncement that it would assume
control of the country’s vital steel
industry on January 1.
Churchill made a motion which
in effect called for condemnation
of this program, and Attlee an
nounced that his government would
stand or fall on the vote.
Result Significant
The significance of this battle
lies in the closeness of the result.
The Socialists won by only six
votes—306 to 300. This represent
ed an all-out effort by both sides,
and involved routing ill members
of Commons out of bed to attend
the session.
This means that the country
also is almost equally divided (or
was at the time of the general
election last February) over the
question of steel nationalization.
That was the major issue of the
election, in which Attlee sought a
mandate for his program and got
it by a hair’s breadth.
Churchill naturally made the
most of this almost fifty-fifty
division of the country, and ac
cused the Socialists or using their
slender margin to “knock the
other half” about. As a matter of
fact there have been reports that
some of the socialist leaders, in
cluding Attlee himself, haven’t
been too happy about the opposi
tion to the steel program. Social
ist doctrinarians, however, have
insisted on going the limit in na
tionalization.
Industries Differ
Steel nationalization in Eng
land of course is in a different
category from other industries,
barring coal. Steel production is
the very heart of the country’s
economy in normal times, and is
doubly so now that the nation is
in the midst of the great defense
program.
Naturally this situation brings

dent Center in College Station Fri

out the most vigorous of the ideol
ogies arguments pro and con. The
Socialists reiterate that control
of this great industry by capital
ists is a menace to the national
interests. The opposition retorts
that this is no time to remove
directors who for years have been
running tlfe steel industry success
fully, and replace them by govern
ment direction.
In short, this bitter battle is
the euitome of the political dif
ferences between socialism and
capitalism. Obviously it will have
to be ironed out before the gov
ernment can claim a clear mandate
from the almost equally divided
electorate to go “all out” in in
augurating socialism.
Another Election
Prime Minister Attlee presum
ably has this in mind, for he is
said by informed sources to plan
another general election early next
year. This would be after steel
nationalization is effective and the
rearmament program is going full
steam. It would give the electorate
a wide open chance to declare it
self.
The next general election will
provide an interesting showdown,
not only as regards steel but in
connection with other socialist
programs which the country has
experienced. The hotly disputed
virtues of socialized medicine, for
example, will be ironed out, along
with heavy taxation and the high
cost of living.
By that time the nation will be
in much better position to give
a studied verdict on the socialism
experiment as a whole.

Make Up Men Request That
Hollywood Give Out Award
By BOB THOMAS
Hollywood, Sept. 21—(A 5 )—An ac
tor’s best friend is his makeup
man, says Jeff Corey, who asks
for an Oscar to reward the crafts
men of the greasepaint and toupee.
“Sometimes the makeup man
contributes 50 per cent of an ac
tor’s performance,” said Corey,
who is perhaps the busiest char
acter actor in town. “He is just
about the only creator in motion
pictures who is not given an aca
demy award. I think it’s time he
received some recognition.
“Makeup men are creators in
every sense of the word. Many of
them are fine sculptors and paint
ers. They study the script care
fully and devise the right make-

next few days. After a thirty-
day period, those people who still
have not settled up their share of
the $6,364.24 deficit will be sub
ject to call from a collection agen
cy. Why not pay up now and
avoid unnecessary and embarass-
ing situations?
In Passing . . .
@ Wednesday night The Battal
ion held a “coffee hour” program
to enlist the help of freshmen in
producing your paper. While giv
ing a “pep” talk to these prospec
tive journalists, one of the manag
ing editors was telling of the many
“firsts” which The Battalion had
gained.
From somewhere in the room
the fact was mentioned that along
with having the top safety section
in the nation, etc., the Batt also
has the best coverage of news of
College Station in the nation.
Maybe the boys are quick at
realizing the importance of the
city department or maybe they
came to sympathize with us for
such a poor joke, but nevertheless
a fine bunch of eager Freshmen
asked to become a part of the city
department.
© We were rather amused with
the result of a heated argument
at the city council meeting last
Tuesday night. The matter of giv
ing the same name to Jersey and
Kyle Streets was proposed as a
rather routine matter.
Councilman Bob Halpin thought
the name should be Kyle all the
way through since more people
lived on Kyle than Jersey. J. A.
Orr came back with the argument
that the street had been known as
Jersey for a long time and should
not be changed.
Motions were made and voted
upon, but no one seemed to agree
on anything. Finally some one
tried a motion which read simply,
“The names of Kyle Street and
Jersey Street shall remain un
changed.” The motion passed una
nimously.
1. Cut down overlapping
unnecessary committees.
2. Concentrate under one com
mittee the field which properly be
longed to that committee.
So Congress, under the act, re
duced 33 Senate standing commit
tees to 15 and the 48 House com
mittees to 19. And many special
committees were wiped out.
Congress has stuck very closely
to its new committee setup. True,
new batches of sub-committees of
the standing committees have
sprung up.
Some critics of Congress point
to that and say it’s just a dodge
by congressmen to have the same
old special committees under an
other name.
But some of those keeping close
check on how the reorganization
act wo rife, argue this way:
“Maybe there are too many sub
committees. But at least each of
them, attached to a standing com
mittee, is working in the field of
that main committee and not going
off into some other committee’s
domain.”
Some other parts of the reor
ganization act have helped Con
gress. For example: Some com
mittee staffs — but certainly not
all—have been strengthened with
experts to help the committees do
a more intelligent job.

Boy Meets Girl
San Francisco—UP)—“Boy meets

China discouraged in favor of ar

it’s different.

fall in love should be encouraged
to cultivate their friendship and
affection on the basis of work,

“The art of makeup is more than !
just slapping on some coloring and j
a beard. The makeup man has to
know the psysiognomy of the face;
he must know about all the mus
cles and which ones sag with age.
“He must also know what hap
pens to the faces of different
types. For example, an outdoor
man would have a leathery face
with white furrows in his fore
head. A barroom bum would have
a white face with dark furrows in
his forehead.”
Makeup men are career insur
ance for character actors, Corey
said. During 1950 alone, he has
portrayed a sun-baked Indian, a
grizzled frontiersman, a working
man, a New York cop, and has just
started a role as a bearded Mos
lem.
Can’t Recognize Him
“In some roles, I have so much
makeup on that you can’t recognize
my real face,” he said. “In that
way the public doesn’t get to tired
of my face and I can play as many
roles as I want.”
The actor said that movie make

“I don’t worry about that as much as the guys who have

Much deliberation and thoughtful planning is
involved in moving one of these chessmen. People
who play this game spend many hours contemplat
ing the next move. Often a player finds his move
has proved futile, and frequently he discovers his
play has cost him the game.
In chess, we are not always able to foresee the
move that lies ahead. If we lose, we merely chalk
one up for the other side and forget about it.
But in another more serious game we are not
able to treat our failures so lightly. In the game of
life, we cannot deliberately ignore and forget our
errors.
In life also, we are faced with our inability to
foretell the correct move, but here the outcome is
more important. This is why we must put our
faith in something greater, something more sure
than mere human speculation.
We who live in the Christian era are blessed
with great gifts of inspiration and guidance—the
Bible and the Church. Through them our lives
may be made victorious. But the choice is ours
... to win, or to lose!
