Jewelled License Bolts Are a Must

YOU CAN START out in the low-priced field with the extras and build up if you so desire. Chances are your car doesn't have jewelled license plate bolts. They're only .a nickel! each. You'd be surprised ‘what 30c worth can do. Fox tails are always cute.’ Worth every penny of the 33¢ they cost. Naturally with a fox tail you will have to have auto flags (set of 3), Only 42c. And for a few cents over a half a buck— man, real class; a pair of headlamp visors made

NEW YORK, Sept. 20—The, once fascinating oroject of peering into neglected nooks of the world has become fairly humdrum since the last war, largely because there isn't much territory left unscarred by tender messages from Kilroy. The average American broomcloset will yield anything from a shrunken head to a Tibetan prayer-wheel, because Joe got around, and with

. it came an easy familiarity with everywhere.

There was, however, one vast spot—greater in size than a combined America and Europe—which sluded the GI hoofprint. The Navy has just run 1p a document on it hat I would like to recommend. It is a technicolored film of Adm. Richard, E. 3yrd’'s most recent penetration of the Antarctic, nd may be a revelation to those who always ‘hought of the North and South Poles as a couple »f flagstaffs sticking out of a snow hummock. The film, called “The Secret Land,” is as fasWinating in its newness as the old magic lantern ilides Martin Johnson used to fetch home from the cannibal isles, and twice as brilliant. It was shot in color by Navy and Coast Guard photographers, and a smooth continuity will be released for general view around the last of October. There isn’t any boy-meets-girl in it, or even Robert Mitchum. But it is as gripping in its way as another service classic, “Fighting Lady.”

‘I Uncrave This Polar Stuff’

AMONG other things, it is a graphic argument against getting into a war with the Russians, if such a war is to be fought on a goose-pimpled terfainy x 1 rally to the colors any day, against Mextco, Cuba, Fiji, Honolulu, or Hollywood, Cal, but I uncrave: this polar stuff. It is asking too much of a fighting man to sweat from fear and then have to break off the icicles. This iz the coldest movie you ever saw. You cannot appreciate frostbite until you have seen it in technicolor—or the purple ‘blush of a windgnawed nose, or the stately symmetry of ice-hung whiskers. ~~ They sent the good Admiral, who has been suffering from psychic chilblains ever since I

Gives an automobile a different personality. flow attachments are to exhausts what Ronald Colman is to vocal cords. It's possible your Cadillac has white sidewalls but in case it doesn't—white sidewall attachments are sold for around $6.95. While you're dressing up the wheels, give a good look to the spinnertype hubcaps. For four, local stores are asking. the paltry sum of 8 $18. Cheap at half again the price considering what they do to a man’s wheels. It's not good taste to have too much stuff on a new car and it probably would be wise to stop but I can’t resist mentioning the inside vanity mifror for 97¢, You can't help but have plenty of women in the car and it's nice to make the ladies feel at home, When you come right down to it, you really can't do much with a new Cadillac. It's only when you resort to the Model A Ford level that a gadget such as the Wig-L-Lite counts. The Wig-L-Lite sells for $2.98 and it wiggles . (naturally) when the car comes to a stop. It! also wiggles when the brakes are applied. Savi safety feature. No Model A should be without a Buick torpedo’ ornament. A measely $1.75 which increases the value of the heap terrifically. Of course, most of the attachments which have been discussed | already must be included when you talk about! a Model A. That's for sure.

Hang On to Your Fox Tail SO FAR WE'VE been piddling around with: gingerbread. Hang on to your foxdail while I mention some real musts. Here we go—deluxe grill guards, two outside mirrors, steering wheel cover, steering wheel spinner, auto compass, truck-type spotlight, cigaret dispenser, traffic light finder (a piece of ground plastic you hang on your windshield which locates the overhead traffic lights— 87¢), license plate frames, back-up light, automatic under-the-hood-trouble light, ‘defroster fan, foglights, spotlights, heater, radio (remember we're working on a Model A), twin blast trumpets, aerial, the 8-foot kind; glare shields, venetian blinds (which combine “beauty with real utility”), and, if possible, try to attach a windshield visor. The visor costs anywhere from $13.85 to $17.95 and adds a whole: lot to' a car. ‘No kidding: I guess that's about all I: have to suggest in the way of extras to brighten and sharpen up your car. Don't, under any circumstances, put those silly buttons on the inside of your car. That's going alittle too far. Oh, yes, the cost of outfitting a hot rod? The things I mentioned total $337.53. You don't have to buy all I suggest. I hope that's understood. Don't be silly.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 20—For two long years now I've been listening to a succession of movie big-wigs, labor leaders and medium-size politicos réfuse to tell an assortment of congressional committees whether they were Communists. Mostly they were Communists and everybody knew it, but they always got red in the face and clammed upon the ground either that the lawgivers were trying to invade their constitutional rights, or that such an admission might tend to incriminate them. ; They acted like they were ashamed of them-. selvek, Their attitude mostly was hang-doggish, or at least it seemed that way, and this whole parade of Stalinistic carbon copies was getting monotonous. Then along came Ben Gold. He gave the House Labor Subcommittee a joit when he said he was no alleged Communist. He is a Communist. Been a member of the party for 25 years and proud of it. And come to think of it, said he (looking the legislators in the eye), he’s as patriotic an American as any Congressman in Washington.

Looks Like Bank President

COMMUNIST GOLD looks something like the president of a bank in the suburbs. Wears rimless eyeglasses, a close hair cut, well-tailored suits and modest neckties. Talks softly in an accent he brought with him from Bessarabia when he was 16 years old. As president of the International Fur and Leather Workers’ Union in New York, he bossed the manufacture of practically every fur coat worn by American women today. No other union has a tighter grip on an industry than his. I don’t agree with Mr. Gold's politics, but 1 must report he's the most unusual Communist yet to appear before the investigators. And perhaps the smartest. By admitting his membership in the party, he turned the wind in their sails into a breeze. That makes him news and I think I'd better tell you about him:

“Are you,” asked Rep. Wingate Lucas of Texas,’ propounding the question that has made so many headlines in the past, “a Communist?” Mr, Gold smiled at him. He said that iguestion was an infringement of the democratic rights of every, citizen and that he probably shouldn't answer it. “But I never hide my political convictions.” said Mr. Gold. “I tell you I am a member of the Communist Party for over a quarter of a century. I take democracy seriously, Congressman Lucas. I will fight for our country to the death.” The pink-faced Lucas wondered whether he'd fight Russia. Gold tried to side-step that one. He said he believed in the United Nations and that he hated war.

‘I'll Fight to My Death’

“YOU MEAN you wouldn't fight Russia?” Rep. Lucas insisted. “You want me to take a gun and shoot Russians?” countered Mr. Gold. “Congressman Lucas, when we are attacked I'll fight to my death.” “Suppose Russia should invade our country,” Mr. Lucas asked. “Impossible,” shapped Mr. Gold. Texans don’t like Russians. But Russians like I Americans and want peace with them.”

Rep. Max Schwabe of Missouri, the chairman, i hu Elizabeth Hiatt, Jiliiam interrupted to say that he believed the committee Hyde. no rg Huff, Jer was fortunate in having such an intelligent and Kee

forthright witness. “And I tell you on my Communist word

honor that afy Communist would fight against | an Vai Nolan. any program to overthrow our democratic form |son, Philip E E’ Prather, of government,” Mr. Gold replied. He was sitting [Roland 5. Rust 35. and Jack in a swivel chair, but he seemed to bow from the|

waist.
