M: ROBERTS Associated Press News Analyst The United States has issued a general indictment of Soviet chi canery and double dealing in'the affairs of Europe to remove the cloak • of reasonableness with which Khrushchev, Mikoyan & Co. are trying to coyer its designs on Germany. The indictment is in reply to the Soviet note claiming the Wes tern powers have vitiated the Potsdam agreement and demand ing an end to four-power control of Berlin. It is merely coinci dence that the State Department issued it while Soviet Dep. Prem ier Anastas I. Mikoyan is visit ing the United States. On the day following its pub lication, President Eisenhower is sued an appeal for courteous treatment of Mikoyan, who is be ing greeted at almost every stop by anti-Communist hecklers, pri marily of Hungarian extraction. The State Department speaks officially of the hopes for peace which have been dashed by the Soviet actions. The demonstrators remind un officially that in Hungary the Soviet army, always held up as the liberator and protector of the working class, became its exe cutioner. Both aie overlooking facts which cannot be overlooked be cause of any pious hope, as Jim Hagerty expressed it for the President, that Mikoyan will go home with “an accurate picture of our good manners, as well as our strength, our confidence and our determination in the cause of freedom and peace.” Mikoyan has not come. to the United States for the purpose of learning more about its good points so he can go home and promote good feeling here for America. He has come to pick up com- cercial ideas which it may be possible to apply in the Soviet Union to help make the people believe they are headed for Uto pia in spite of all their troubles. He would like to promote a re laxed American attitude toward world trade with the Soviet bloc to further the Kremlin campaign of world domination through eco nomic hegemony. He would like to set the stage for bilateral negotiatiohs with the United States on numerous points at issue, to drive a wedge between America and her allies, to enhance the appearance of im portance of'the Soviet Union and its leaders, and to make people think the Russians can’t be so bad. Courtesy to a visitor is not something extended because of his merits, but bcause it is part of the maintenance of a civilized character by the host. No amount of it will change fundamental relations with the Soviet Union, because those rela tions are a 1'esult of deliberate international Communist policy. That fact is inherent in the State Department report, which goes back many years to make its point.

Congressmen Start Talking But Accomplish Very Little By ARTHUR ED SON WASHINGTON OP)—Here it is the second day of a new Con gress, and already the Senate has shown midseason form. Nearly all of us, after a vaca tion, need a little time before we can operate at full speed. But a senator is not like us other mortals. He returns, ton sils on the ready, prepared for instant action, to use the word loosely. As you know, the Senate has the problem of deciding what its ground rules are to be. Shall it continue filibuster unlimited, or shall it try some form of limited debate ? To give this question the time it deserves, Sen. Lyndon B. John son (D-Texas), who calls the sig nals for his party, had the Sen ate convene two hours early yes- Profs Say Texas Prison Improved, Clean, With Emphasis o n Training Three professors in the De partment of History and Govern ment who recently returned from a tour of the Texas Department of Corrections in Huntsville found the facilities “clean—improved— with emphasis on rehabilitation.” The tour was arranged by J. C. Roberts, who is chief of the Bu reau of Records and Identifica tion. The professors made the tour in order to gain first-hand information concerning the penal institutions of Texas. The fact most remarkable to Roberts, who was already famil iar with the prison system due to his father’s position, was the “tremendous improvement that has been made in the prison sys tem in the past few years.” The Texas penal system has moved from behind as being one of the nation’s worst to one of the na tion’s best, he said. The new penal system, now known as the Texas Department of Corrections, is gaining national and also in ternational fame as being one of the model penal systems. Professor Duncan was highly impressed at the “cleanliness, good food, high morale, and the educational and recreational fa cilities.” This was his second isit to the prison, his first made twenty years ago. He stated that the only part of the prison that had not undergone much change between his visits was the huge outside wall. Dr. Benton said “great empha sis placed upon rehabilitation of prisoners” was one of .the things he observed. Under the new pe nal system the percentage of re turnees has been reduced, he noted.

But at 10:03, immediately after the opening prayer, Johnson said he didn’t think a quorum was present. And he was so right. A reporter counted 19 senators. The conference, by the way, may show one problem facing the self-styled liberals in the Senate: Too many quarterbacks, and not enough linemen. The conference finally broke up, and at 10:40, Senate Leader Richard M. Nixon announced that a quorum was now present. But apparently something still was wrong. Johnson asked for another quorum call, and he made a motion with his hand to show the clerk that this time it was to be a quick one. At 10:43 Sen. Mike Monroney (D-Okla.) got the floor, and we were off. Or were we ? This brought the new Republi can leader, Sen. Everett M. Dirk- sen (111.), to bis feet to say that many senators had made previous committments, and it would be embarrassing to the senators if we ran to an unseemly hour. Meaning: Many of us have planned to go to parties, and this would louse it up terribly. Johnson remained calm. “I hope,” he said, “it will not last so long as to inconvenience sen ators who have important respon sibilities elsewhere.” Meaning: We’ll try to wind it up before the goodies run out. No matter what, the Senate won’t be hurried. * Social Whirl Monday Aero Wives Club will meet Mon day at 7:45 in the home of Mrs. Monroney apparently didn’t Bess Wells, 4204 Culpepper Dr. have a long speech, but he scarce- Officers will be installed, followed ly had begun before he was be sieged with requests. Would he yield for a parliamentry inquiry? Naturally each parliamentary inquiry was preceded by a speech in which a great to-do was made about finding out the will of the Senate. Then came a hypotheti cal question. This went on and on, until shortly after noon Johnson broke in to say he hoped for a vote “early tonight.” by a guest speaker, Mrs. Emmette Wallace.

"and, "Barefoot Boy with Cheek") THE DATING SEASON I have recently returned from a tour of 950,000 American col leges where I made a survey of undergraduate dating customs and sold Zorro whips. I have tabulated my findings and I am now prepared to tell you the simple secret of successful dating. The simple secret is simply this: A date is successful when the man knows how to treat the girl. cl Ititeiitr, And how does a girl like to be treated? If you want to know, read and remember these four cardinal rules of dating: 1. A girl likes to be treated with respect. When you call for your girl, do not drive up in front of the sorority house and yell, “Hey, fat lady!” Get out of your car. Walk respectfully to the door. Knock respectfully. When your girl comes out, tug your forelock and say respectfully, “Good evening, Your Honor.” Then offer her a Marlboro, .for what greater respect can you show your girl than to offer Marlboro with its “better makin's," fine flavor and new improved filter? It will indicate immediately that you respect her taste, respect her discernment, respect her intelligence. So, good buddies, before going out on a date, always remember to buy some Marlboros, now available in soft pack or flip-top box at your friendly vending machine. 2. A girl likes a good listener. Do not monopolize the conversation. Let her talk while you listen attentively. Make sure, however, that she herself is not a good listener. I recollect a date I had once with a coed named Greensleeves Sigafoos, a lovely girl, but unfortunately a listener, not a talker. I too was a listener so we just sat all night long, each with his hand cupped over his ear, straining to catch a word, not talking hour after hour until finally a policeman came by and arrested us both for vagrancy. I did a year and a day. She got by with a suspended sentence because she was the sole support of her aged housemother. S. A girl likes to be taken to nice places. By “nice” places I do not mean expensive places. A girl does not demand luxury. All she asks is a place that is pleasant and gracious. The Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, for example. Or Mount Rushmore. Or the Taj Mahal. Or the Bureau of Weights and Measures. Find places like these to take your girl. In no circumstances must you take her to an oil-cracking plant. J. A girl likes a man to be well-informed. Come prepared with a few interesting facts that you can drop casually into the conversation. Like this: “Did you know, Snookiepuss, that when cattle, sheep, camels, goats, antelopes, and other members of the cud-chewing family get up, they always get up hind legs first?” Or this: “Are you aware, Hotlips, that corn grows faster at night?” Or this: “By the way, Loverhead, Oslo did not become the capital of Norway till July 11, 1924.” If you can slip enougfi of these nuggets into the conversation before dinner, your date will grow too torpid to eat. Some men save up to a half-million dollars a year this way. © 1050 Max Shulman To the list of things girls like, add Philip Morris Cigarettes.
