My friend is also concerned with the pushbutton age. He envisions the future inhabitant of these parts as a man of about 5 by 5-foot proportions. The only dominating feature will be a huge forefinger, the push button finger. “ hd “THE MAN of the future will be all bottom because he will do nothing but sit,” sighed the doctor, “He'll be all stomach because he will do nothing but eat.” You might ponder the above statement. Frightful possibility. It's not too late. Even if your left leg shows signs of atrophy, there's time. Get those feet out of moth balls. “Db IT’S common knowledge in medical circles that feet must be exercised if the rest of the body is going to feel good. A brisk canter of about five miles ‘serves as a tonic. Walking provides exercise to a moderate degree of stress to all muscles contributing to the posture of the body. It’s an exercise that can be done safely by anyone, young or old. > > @ FAMOUS personalities through the ages have always walked regularly to keep themselves in shape. Some strolled in the morning, before breakfast, others in the late evening. A few notables enjoyed walks after midnight in a driving rainstorm. It doesn’t make any difference when you walk.

NEW YORY, Apr. 23—I'm as embarrassed as a congressman with laryngitis. I'm suffering from non-nonchalance. Here I've been feeling pulses in the great TV vs. movies battle. I've been huntin’' to find out what you readers of mine want to read about, and see. . . . Shucks, it appears the thing you don’t want to see is a V-necked gown.

How..can you have the courage to tell that

to me. L I, who, Arthur Godfrey said, was for plunging necklines before they took the plunge. It's as though Joe DiMaggio asked you to name the greatest player and you said “Ted Williams.” eid ob THIS CAME out in a little poll of my non-NY readers. I aimed to learn whether they prefer reading of TV stars to movie stars. The votes aren't all counted. But there may be a 3-to-1 or even 5-to-1 land-

i slide for TV.

Another straw in the ill wind that's blowing no good for pictures. “Yes, sir, the movie glamorpuss has seen her day” my readers inform me. But they &lso applaud the sentiments of Claudette Colbert who in a recent interview here blasted the “bathtub dresses” on TV. DH» IT IS TIME for a man to raise his voice and say ‘that Faye Emerson, Dagmar and Jane Russell didn’t start decollete. Jean Harlow

NEW YORK, Apr. 23—As mentioned before, there are some decided advantages to illness. For example, Gen. MacArthur and I got back home at approximately the same time—he from Japan, me from the fuzzy fastnesses of fever-and-anti-biotic no-man’s land. I was therefore spared the early MacArthur-Truman harangue which swept the country after Capt. Harry fired the General, and came fresh to the General's presentation cf his position before the joint Session of Congress. LS MacARTHUR'S speech has been tagged as a masterpiece and needs no extra comment. But the thing that hit me hard, as a recent, relative stranger to the times, was a restressing of reality from which we seem to have flown far. I felt mighty like Alice with a foot full of looking glass. The General mentioned that war's very ob-

ject is victory, not prolonged indecision. You

would think we all recognize that as the primer portion of the copybook, but that is not how we have operated in Korea, We have hecome used to a part-time, stylized conflict, with no logical conclusion in sight—a war of shifting arbitrary rules, made by civilians in safe places and nurtured on the blood of innocents. It suddenly looms as extra-ridiculous that a Chinese Red is a legitimate adversary so long as he attacks on other people’s real estate, but must not be chastened on his own ground for fear cf fomenting war with the same people with whom you are already at war. This passeth understanding, since we have been at technical war with Red China since the Chinese poured across the Yalu River. ode. . IT MAKES no sense to Gen. MacArthur that Korea, which we chose as a ward for our personal protection, should serve as a football field for the battle, while “the enemies’ sanctuaries are fully protected from such attacks and devastations.” After the clarity of the MacArthurian prose, it would appear we have been living in-a jabberwocky world for some time.

Swing your arms as you stride along. Don’t walk like a duck. Try to keep your toes pointing straight ahead. Unless the feet are deformed, sloppy foot positions result from carelesgness. The best part of walking comes at the end. You should be slightly tired and relaxed and glowing. That's the time to bathe your feet in tepid, not hot, water and follow up with an alcohol rub. Lie down with your feet raised higher than your body for a half hour and get up in fighting form. : < < < THE CONDITION of the feet determine how you feel, how you work, your disposition. With early and proper care, a person's dogs ought to last as long as he has strength to walk. Bad feet indicate neglect and abuse. Corns, bunions, calluses, arch trouble can be traced most of the time to the patient's ignorance about the care of his feet. The time is now. Don’t wait. Walk yourself to health. It's spring and the world is beautiful (it will be) and Mother Nature is calling for you to take her arm. Ab WALKING stimulates peaceful and clear thinking. All you have to do is keep to the path or sidewalk. No shifting, no yelling, no worries about the man in front of you that you're going to pass when you're driving size 11s. Give it a try. Revive the lost art of walking. Don't let your foot wither. Keep America on her two feet.

Those in Safe Places Make War’s Rules

I dreamed some pretty fancy and illogical dreams when fever was chewing at me, and the miracle drugs were working their own peculiar miracles, but none were more fantastic than the picture of Douglas MacArthur, fired summarily by his commander-in-chief, come home as a hero, to the slavish adulation of his nation. It make a peculiar tableau at that-—the President sulking and lonely at the White House, while his constituents and his legislators heap honor on the man he has attempted to degrade and discredit. It made a funny picture, too—the little man from Independence sending his court jester, Harry Vaughan, to meet one of the half-dozen immortal military genuises of our history, when President Truman himself has wasted vast presidential time on nonentities who just happen to fall under the category of crony. “o. ad GEN. MacARTHUR got out of Washington without presidential] audtence—this again a weird happenstance when one considers that our nearest living immortal was home for the first time in 14 years, after his triumph of conduct in the Pacific

war and in the occupation of Japan. President Truman made no gesture, and Gen. MacArthur did not feel it necessary to approach the throne with his gold hat in his hand. They tell me that at first there was a feeling that President Truman was a pretty gusty kid for firing the hitherto inviolate MacArthur, but after the MacArthur speech before Congress the President emerged not so brave as pettish and bullheaded and childish. My feeling was that here was a child, who, in a fit of temper, decided to announce his disbelief in Santa Claus, on Christmas Eve. But nothing makes a whole lot of sense these days—not when a midget has to fire a giant in order to make the giant look taller and the midget shrink smaller.

THE COMMUNISTS are able to make little headway among prosperous people. It was among the wretchedly hungry and discontented that the Communists saw their opportunity to conquer the world

So with great cunning they went among these people, studied what they wanted, and offered to give them everything, offered to become their champions against the oppressors.

They promised to liberate the desperately unhappy four-fifths of the human race by using the very method which Jesus Christ rejected, the method of violence, revolution, murder and terror.

Jesus Christ began as champion of the oppressed and the wretched and died on a cross as their savior. Compassion for the poor is the very heart of the missionary’'s gospel. So the missionary and the Communist make promises to the same unhappy people. But there is a world of difference

The Communists propose to liquidate all who are in power and to clamp iron bars on the minds of people. Where we missionaries have tried the way of Christ it has worked. We know that it will save the world, if America and the other great powers go all out to put it into practice. This way of Christ has not been tried by nations, although Mahatma Gandhi moved India in that direction while he lived. The country which first employs Christ's method all out will conquer the heart of the world with love—and there is no other true conquest.
