Congressman Fights Paper With Paper By DICK WEST United Press International WASHINGTON (UP I) — As chairman of a House subcommittee on government statistics, Rep. Arnold Olsen, D-Mont., is up to his decimal points in paperwork. Occasionally, duty calls him to engage in what be describes as “fighting in the federal paperwork jungle.” His mode of combat is to put out papers urging other government officials to put out fewer papers. Or, to employ a mope colorful expression, he fights paper with paper, “I have no doubt the technique is effective, but it is limited to extreme cases, when the paperwork is raging out of control. What is needed is a campaign to keep paperwork from starting. I happen to have a few ideas along that line, which I will be glad to pass along to the subcommittee free of charge. “Prevent Paperwork” As the first step, I suggest that the subcommittee have printed for distribution in government buildings and other public places an assortment of signs -■ and posters reading “Only you can prevent paperwork.” These would serve to give everyone a sense of responsibility for stopping paperwork before it begins, which is far better than extinguishing paperwork after it has started. Secondly, by the time that people are old enough to be bureaucrats they already have bad habits, which are hard to change.' The campaign, then, should appeal chiefly to children, with the aim of educating them in paperwork prevention. I have in mind using as a symbol an animated cartoon of some kind of animal or insect. Like maybe a bookworm. It should have a cute name, like maybe “Pulpy." Aims at Kids The cartoon would be shown on television with the announcer’s voice saying “Pulpy, the bookworm, says ‘Help stamp out paperwork.’ ” The kids would love it. Once the campaign gets rolling, it can be broadened to include some of the specific causes of paperwork. For example, in his latest paper on paperwork, Olsen asserts that the electronic computers installed by the Internal Revenue Service to simplify its bookkeeping actually are helping to create more paperwork. So Pulpy 1 , the could urge the youngsters to “Help istamp out computers.” Or better yet, “Help stamp out tax collectors.” Then, as the final phase, Pulp*, 'would teach our children to »Mp stamp out subcommitfpPQ

Red China Premier Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra Here Monday
Is On Road Again
By PHIL NEWSOM UPI Foreign News Analyst Red China’s tireless traveler, Premier Chou En-lai, is on the road again, first to Burma, then to Pakistan and on to Ceylon. As on his just-completed tour of Africa, one purpose of Chou’s trip is to promote another AfroAsian Bandung Conference such as was held in 1955 and was billed as “the first inter-conti-nental conference of the so-call-ed colored peoples in the history of mankind.” Such a conference ardently is desired by Red China and Indonesia, is opposed by India and receives only lukewarm support from Egypt which would prefer a conference of non-aligned nations not limited by color. Both Egypt and India are said to feel that another Bandung Conference now, far*from promoting unity, simply would emphasize differences existing among Afro-Asian states, such as Ethiopia’s quarrel with Somalia, the Indonesia - Malaysia dispute and the deep split between India and Red China. For the Red Chinese the greatest benefit would be the opportunity to press their campaign dividing the world between white and colored peoples. Burma Uncommitted Burma, up to now, has been one of the nations uncommitted. In Burma, glamorized by Rudyard Kipling. Chou was dealing with one of the most individualistic of all Asian leaders. Kipling, as a foreign reporter now would be allowed to remain in Burma just 72 hours. In a manner not unlike Indonesian President Sukarno’s pursuit of “guided democracy,” Burmese leader Gen. Ne Win is pursuing what he calls the Burmese road to socialism. The route has included the arrest of some 1,400 political opponents, including former Premier U Nu, and more recently open warfare against socalled “white flag Communists” aligned with Peking. It has included swift nationalization of both Burmese and foreign business enterprises, the latter mostly British but also numbering among its victims the Bank of (Communist) China. Limit Propaganda Distribution of propaganda by various national embasies, including Peking’s, has been strictly limited. Western contacts, through travel or education are discouraged on grounds that they “subvert the Burmese character.” Meanwhile, foreign aid is welcomed from all quarters. U.S. money is building a junior college, enlarging a Rangoon hospital and helping to build a sewage system. Soviet Russia is contributing a fertilizer plant
and assisting in land reclamation. The Red Chinese have promised SB4 million to go into sugar mills, textile factories, bridges and roads. Japan is paying S2OO million in World War II reparations and has provided another $l2O million in grants. Ne Win’s foreign policy is based almost entirely on his awareness of Burma’s dose proximity to Red China. But he is supported by both the United States and Britain on grounds that he is struggling to prevent his country from becoming another Red satellite. A weakness is that Ne Win has cut the grounds from under popular support, that his military regime lacks the training to' handle all the enterprises it has taken over, and that if he falls, the Communists are there waiting to take over. S2O Million Movie On Greeks Claimed By DICK WEST United Press International WASHINGTON (UPD—It says here to this press release that a movie producer is planning to make a film called “The Loves of the Greek Gods,” “It will be a S2O million, fourhour, cinemascope, color production that will live on and one,” it says. It says the film “will be dedicated to the ancient Greek spirit which gave us our Western Civilization” and will “teach the world the glory that was Greece." It says in one place that the picture “will be one of the 10 outstanding films in motion picture history.” 4n another place it says the film will be the “No. 1 motion picture hit of the century.” “Fabulous” Scenery It says “the sceneries and the constructions will be of such fabulous magnitude as have not be* shown in another film or thought of so far.” It says the outdoor scenes “will be shot right on the top of the-great Olympus” and that a fleet of helicopters will be used to transport the stars and equipment to the pinnacle. “It will be the most dramatic thing ever done, the best and the greatest,” with “at least 1,000 young and beautiful girls” and “thousands and thousands of extras,” it says. It also says that the producer, Diko Dimitroff, is currently about sl2 million short of the required amount of cash. Apparently, Dimitroff needs to get on speaking terms with Plutus. the god of wealth. But even if he doesn’t raise the money, all need not be lost. If necessary, Dimitroff can make a movie out of the press release. No Financial Help Unfortunately, I am not in a position to assist in the financing, all of my assets being tied up in a project to open a chain of cafeterias on the planet Mars. I do feel, however, that such a modest enterprise deserves a helping hand, so I am offering Dimitroff the benefit of my thinking on the cast. It says that he wants to line up Victor Mature for the role of Zeus; Kirk Douglas as Adonis; Tony Curtis as Apollo and Peter Ustinov as Dionysus. Not bad, but there is room for improvement. Dionysus is the god of wine, a part that obviously belongs to

f Modern Etiquette By Roberta Lee I 0 —o Q. Is it proper, when attending church, for a single girl or even a married woman to give a donation or offering when she is with an escort? A. The church service is not a social occasion. Therefore, a single girl escorted by a young man, makes her own donation to the church they are attending. Where a woman is attending with her husband, he would make the donation or offering for both, as head of the househhold. Q. Is it really considered proper for a woman to use scented stationery, and if so, how may she best produce this scent? A. This is in quite good taste, and the best way to do it is to put a sachet bag in the drawer or box in which the stationery is kept. Q. How are French fried and shoestring potatoes eaten at the table? A. French fries are halved with the fork, if necessary, and eaten with the fork. Shoe string potatoes are usually dry and impossible to take on the fork, and may be eaten with the fingers. Q. A friend borrowed one of my books from me several weeks ago, and although I have reminded her as politely as possible on two occasions, she has made no move to return it. What can I do? A. Go to see her and ask quite frankly, “Have you finished the book I lent you?” And you may add, if you wish, “Bob is waiting to read it.” Q. Would it be proper for an 18-year-old girl to have dinner in a bachelor’s apartment without a chaperone? - A. Better not, unless there are other guests present. Q. When a widow is to be remarried, and she has always worn her first wedding ring, would it be proper for her to wear both wedding rings? A. Decidedly not Dean Martin. The producer apparently has in mind Bob Hope for the part of Pluto, god of the lower world. At least it says that Hope “will be in charge of the dead.” But that may be a reference to Hope’s jokes. The press release doesn’t mention Hymen, god of marriage, but I see Eddie Fisher in that role. With Richard Burton as his understudy. 1
The Indianapolis Symphony orchestra, pictured above, will present a concert for the Adams County Civic Music Association at 8 o’clock Monday night at the Decatur high school auditorium. The Indianapolis orchestra, one of the top features for several seasons by the local association’s concert series, is directed by Izler Solomon. The orchestra of Indiana’s capital city was founded in 1930 by Ferdinand Schaefer. Twentyone years later, in 1951, it was listed by Deems Taylor, eminent musicologist, as one of the top ten of the United States. The orchestra annually presents a total of 12 pairs of subscription concerts, three free municipal concerts, six young people’s concerts, a music memory contest, pops concerts, and two concerts in each of the 10 Indianapolis high schools, in addition to its heavy touring schedule.

The orchestra ranks with two others in the nation in the number of tour engagements played annually, and the demand for out-of-state performances is increasing yearly. It has journeyed in excess of 150,000 miles and traveled in 35 states. Apperances include concerts in Carnegie Hafi. t Now In New Hone Shortly before the start of the 1963-64 season, the orchestra moved into its new home in the three and a half million dollar Clowes memorial hall, and the enthusiasm was marked by the highest season ticket sales in its history. *. There have been only three conductors in the orchestra’s history. Ferdinand - Schaefer, founder and first conductor, held the post until 1937, although he was then long past a normal retirement age. In 1937 Dr. Fabien Sevitzky became conductor, and held the post until
was signed as permanent con--1955. Following a season of six guest conductors, Izler Solomon ductor in 1956.
