Western Europe, Crisis Os 1961

EDITORS NOTE: VPI Foreign News Analyst Phil Newson has completed a three- , week swing through Berlin and other West German cities and two weeks in Paris and London. The following dispatch, based on interviews with Allied leaden and his own observations, is the first of three dealing with “Western Europe, The Crisis of mi.” (Crisis IMI-Part 1) By PHIL NEWSOM CPI Foreign*News Analyst LONDON (UPD — It is business as usual for the people of Western Europe. The urgency with which United States public opinion reacted to Nikita Khrushchev's threats against free West Berlin found no answering echo in Britain, France or even West Germany itself. The reasons are varied. But the end conclusion is inescapable after a tour in which this correspondent ranged from Bonn to the Iron Curtain, from Berlin to Munich and from Paris to London. The apathy of the Eurppean man on the street or on the farm is in sharp contrast to tne efforts of their governments to strengthen NATO’s forward wall quickly with men and weapons. At Whitehall in London, in the Defense Ministry at Bonn, at Elysee Palace and in NATO’s shiny new headquarters in Paris, urgent steps are being taken to bring NATO’s troop strength by Jan. 1,1962, up to 24 divisions and possibly to 27. U. S. air power is crowding the fields of Britain, France and West Germany. Nuclear strength is growing. Only in West Berlin itself is I there a sense of urgency. It leads to a feeling of apprehension but not of gloom. For 16 years West Berlin has* Clark Gable Widow Still In Mourning By VERNON SCOTT UPI Hollywood Corespondent HOLLYWOOD (UPD — "It’s been almost a year since Clark died/ Kay Gable said today, shaking her head in disbelief. ‘lt just doesn’t seem possible the time has passed so quickly. Yet in other ways it’s almost as if centuries have gone by since that terrible night.” .. Kay is still in mourning. Perhaps she will always be in. mourning for one of the great motion picture stars of all time. I Blonde Kay, who never looked better in her life, can talk about her “Pa" easily now. even to describing in detail the events of last Nov. 16 when she cradled her dead husband’s body in her arms until it grew cold. Kay said she still bursts into tears on occasion? but the intervals are growing farther apart. The widow sat in an overstuffed couch in her farm-style living room surrounded by letters —she has received more than 26,000 since the birth of Gable’s only son last March. Answers Al! Questions “I’ve fallen hopelessly behind in answering all the mail.” Kay said. “That’s why I’ve written my book about Clark. It answers all the questions in the mail. I also wrote captions for 250 pictures in the book.” — Kay made it clear she actually wrote the book, “Clark Gable, A Personal Portrait,” which has gone into its second printing. We walked into the nursery where 6-month-old John Clark was being changed by his fulltime nurse. Most babies are cute. But young John Clark is outright handsome. He looks startlingly like his father. His eyes are the same color, his hair has the same unruly forelock and his grin is a carbon copy of Gable. Kay picked up her son and immediately pushed her husky baby’s ears outward and forward. “They don’t stick out as much as Pa’s did,” she smiled. “If we’re lucky the ears will become as prominent as his father’s.” Kay put the baby down and returned to the living room. No Thought of Future “This is like the third act of my life,” she said. “I haven’t thought about the future, and I don’t know what I’m going to do yet. I keep busy with the children and my mail. I must stay busy, i “Other men? No. I can’t even think about them. When I think of a man, I think of Clark Gable, .no one else.” As she talked Kay walked into a wood-paneled den which she has made into an office. “Remarriage? Golly. No. Such thoughts never enter my mind, and I’m too busy to have dates. “There is one thing that helps make life easier now, and that’s an old saying. I don’t know its. origin, but it goes like this: “ “Today is a tomorrow you worried about yesterday—and all is well’.”

stood as a symbol of a free peoples’ self-determination in the midst of Communist dictatorship, until today it is West Germany's greatest industrial city.

There is no doubt that if the Comrhunists come crashing across the wall that divides the city, they will meet with no abject West Berliners will battle them with paving blocks or whatever weapon comes to hand. But even more Important than West Berlin's 2.2 milion people is the symbol Berlin has become of Allied, and particularly United States, determination. If this shows signs of weakness, then the neutrality latent through-

out many of the peoples of Western Europe will come to full flower. Painfully built West European unity will crumble. The people will mpke their own accommodation with commtinlsm. Whether it be apathy or fatalism resulting from two lost wars the results can be the same and it is encountered frequently in Germany. One holds the belief that if there is to be a war, Germany will be the first to bp hit.

The other takes the view that the Germans are no longer masters of their own fate. That the decisions for their defense will be made not by them but by a combination of the NATO powers. Therefore, they might as well sit back and wait. Certainly, there is no disposition to fight for East Germany. In both Britain and France, national problems take precedence over world problems. In France, it is the still unsolved problem of the Algerian revolt. In Britain,

it is the question of Britain’s proposed'’ entry Into the Common Market of Europe, thus ending centuries of British isolation from the Continent. Anti-German feeling springing ■from Wofld War II still is strong in Britain, as it is in Belgium, Holland and Denmark. Governments recognize their problem — that a weak homefront can weaken armies in the field. And they are trying to do something about it. Meanwhile, it is business as usual.

Chipped Furniture To repair a chipped table or refrigerator, lay a small piece of appropriately-colored crayon on the spot, cover with cellophane, and press gently with an iron set at rayon heat. When cool, remove the cellophane. 1 Stubborn Stains If all else has failed in the removal of a stubborn stain in your sink or bathtub, try rubbing over it with table salt dampened with turpentine, then rinsing with clear water.
