Late Columnist Refused To Lie

By LYLE C. WILSON United Press International WASHINGTON (UPI)—It is ap- . propriate on this day to write a piece about the late Frederick C. , Othman because Freddy and George Washington had something < in common. Freddy could not WRITE a lie! _ , He did, however,, write lighthearted, amusing columns out of Washington and Hollywood and acquired material substance and a national reputation thereby. But he was a reporter first and a funny-man columnist second, and that is why this piece on Wash- ; ington’s Birthday is about our Freddy. Only ence did reporter Othman's path cross Washington’s. The occasion was in late February many years ago when a national society dedicated to trees notified the United Press of an event to take place on the morning of Feb. 22 at Mount Vernon, Washington’s Potomac shore estate. The tree people urged that Freddy be present. He was there with his reporter’s tools in his pocket, pencil and paper. The tree people had made a deal with the local Boy Scouts. The project was to assemble at Mount Vernon on Washington’s Birthday several platoons of scouts. On signal, the scouts would police the area, picking up from the ground the acorns shed by Washington's oak trees. Great oaks, grow. on Mount Vernon’s acres. That was but the beginning. Communities all over the United States would be given these : -...

British Are Jolted By Racial Problem

By HAKKT JFKHUVBUW United Press Internattsnal LONDON (UPI)— An American living in England must expect condescending smiles whenever Little Rock or lunchroom counters in the South come into conversation. Life is going to be a bit easier from now on because the British abruptly have been jolted into the realization that they, too, have a racial problem. In the days when the sun never set on the British empire the facts of life dictated that the English must get along with men

acorns for planting and, in time, the get of Mount Vernon’s oak trees would be casting pleasant shade throughout the land. There would be other advantages. Love of country, respect for the truth and hatred of the lie would be implanted in whose school yard was shaded by a Mount Vernon oak. All of this Freddy considered and found good. He said he woyld be happy to write a piece about the acorn-picking. The acorn-picking was set for 10:30 a.m. Freddy always was forehanded. So it was on that Feb.* 22 many years ago that Freddy arrived at Mount Vernon before 9 a.m. The Boy Scouts also had arrived early. And before their young and innocent eyes, the tree people were salting the mine. Phony Mount Vernon acorns. The Mount Vernon crop was a bit short that year. The tree people were scattering storebought acorns for the scouts to retrieve. Freddy guessed that the store-bought acorns outnumbered the legitimate Mount Vernon strain by maybe, two-or three-to-one. He stuck around until the salting was ended and watched the little scouts picking the acorns from the ground. So much for history, truth and I-cannot-tell-a-lie. Freddy wrote a real good piece about that. Very funny but with a moral, too. It made the tree people pretty mad.

Rudyard Kipling, the ’ poet of the empire, said it: ■ “There is neither east nor west, i border nor breed nor birth when > two strong men stand face to face i though they come from the ends i of the earth.” > Last week Cyril Osborne, a | member of the ruling Conserva- ' tive Party, arose in the House of i Commons and said times had i changed. i Immigration Has Risen He said some of his best friends were colored people, particularly hl Ceylbn and Malaya, btit.... --Immigration had risen from 2,000 persons in 1953 to 60,000 last year and in the British Commonwealth there were 600 million persons entitled to move to Britain if they so desired. —The problem “to me is like cancer—the longer it is left, the more it will grow and the more difficult it will be to deal with.” —“ln another 20 or 30 years the face of England will not be recognizable.” (laughter). But Osborne was in earnest and he proposed a bill that would bar from this country any immigrant who could not prove he had a guaranteed job, adequate housing, a clean bill of health, no criminal record and sufficient money to deposit return fare in event he became a public charge. His proposal covered both Hack and ' white members of the Commonwealth, but the debate immediately centered on immigration from the West Indies.

He added that their presence was ■ causing “grave social problems” 1 particularly in London, BinningI

Charles Royle, a Labor member, said Osborne was “being impregnated with the same beastly, insidious, inhuman propaganda that Hitler used.” The dilemma was resolved when Conservative leaders persuaded Osborne to withdraw his bill.

voices were raised immediately, t deploring the failure to face up to 1 the problem. : The London Dally Telegraph, i almost always on the Conservas tive side of the fence, said edis tori ally: “There is no inhumanity -in considering these questions seriously and the consideration i might well have started years
