It Happened Last Night

By Earl Wilson

NEW YORK, May 28—Screen actress Coleen Gray—who's getting married shortly for the second time—strongly believe that a wife should give a husband lots and lots and LOTS of freedom, I guess all Wives, T dunno. : Coleen also believes in being friendly with your ex-husband. I'll show you how friendly. One day she was visiting her ex-mate, Rodney Amitau, screenwriter and dialog director, after he nag remarried, and his new wife mentioned that e was coming to N. Y. on a trip. “What kind of a coat should I wear?” asked the new wife, Joan Andre. My Beautiful Wife says that is pretty far for An bEwile to go in accommodating her successor, amd:

husbands will agree with her.

: =F ‘ So COLEEN ix getting married to Stanley Rubin, the 20th Century Fox producer. For a long time she held out against a divorce and bustup of the family—since they had a daughter almost 5—and then she decided to go ahead and split up, so they could remain friends. She sort of figured out that the mismating was partly her fault, anyway, “In high school out at Hutchinson, Minn. I was a real cornball,” she says. “I was pretty unattractive—kind of a Minnesota butterball. “I would talk on a lot of weighty subjects that didn’t interest any boy. When I went to college at Hamline, I still didn't have many dates.” .. Then when she rather suddenly got to Hollywood through an audition that she never thought would lead to anything, she—as she confesses— “latched onto a guy.” That was Amitau, who wrote the test that got her a Hollywood contract.

NEW YORK, May 28—An intemperate fellow I know was watching the televised efforts of the New York Yankees the other day, and he turned from the receiver with a snarl. “Listen to that announcer,” he growled. “Yak," yak, yak. Laughing at his own jokes. Making funnies. Explaining things you igo. & can already see. The batter steps out of the box, he says. Hell's horns, I'm not blind. I can see the batter step out of : the box. The trouble with everybody today is that we talk too = much. Nothing but yak, yak, yak, from Washington to Baseball. : . There is a slight chance that this gentleman may be a little overstrident in his condemnation of our national bent toward * the blabbermouth, but he is not too f from a truth. . We surround ourselves with noise, whether fit be wind from Capitol Hill or from the little foureyed scientists with the new dish of disaster to set before the king. * ¢ *

AN ATOMIC scientist has told me—the big blabbermouth—that Klaus Fuchs, the atom spy, delivered every last jot of advanced nuclear knowledge to the Russians before they caught him and shut him away. In our quest for a free science we have pinpointed in ordinary, purchasable publications enough gratis information on strengths and weaknesses to make an espionage system nearly needless to the Russians. Every time some large brain peers into a test tube and comes out with a new way to strip the globe of atmosphere or turn the sun into a torch -—quick, fast, hurry and tell everyone about the marvels of the new toy. Blabbermouthery has become our international weakness. I hate to estimate how much aid, comfort and concrete information has been delivered

After they'd broken up, Coleen worked out her plans for the future and decided: ‘The next time I marry, I'm going to choose a man I can get along with, rather than one I can't get along without.” So & & RUBIN PROVED to be the guy. The first time I met her in New York, weeks back, she and Rubin were giving each other plenty of freedom to see whether they wanted to go ahead with it. “I have dates, dates, dates!” she said. “Stanley can do the same, “It's important when you've heen separated. from your husband, to get out and dance and have fun, . “With Betty Hutton, who's a big star, it's a little differents She can't’ go outwith Just any

DOMESTICALLY, we have blabbermouthed our way to the semi-ruination of relations between man and woman, with the simplest actions and mannerisms being second-guessed at the top of everybody's lungs. Everything from childraising to nail-cleaning has been loudly declaimed with an ulterior motive. We are known as a nation of braggarts abroad, and with some reason. I do not espouse the control of either speech or freedom of the press, radio, or any other method of communications. I merely suggest a little more self-imposed restraint in the popping off of everybody, especially me. And I do advocate more rigid control from our elected chieftains of the cheapness of their own utterances and the utterances of their underlings —not so that the people will not know, but so the people won't get hurt. A wise old man was saying the other day that “If we ain't ready, there isn’t any sense in bragging about it.” * hb BUT BRAG we have, and strut we have, and advertise our weaknesses we have, while the opposition plays it tight to the vest. We squabble about gnats and ignore the buzzards, and holler and beat our breasts and declaim that God is on our side and advertise our tricks and generally bore the bejabbers out of everybody with our verbosity—except the cuties who sit down and add up some of our loud claims to valuable information for their side. We are drowning a nation in a flood of words, words, words, and us typewriter jockeys are as guilty as anybody else.

But in the heavy storm more than 10,000 tons of

water poured on board

| astern in the course of 24 hours, seeing that loads varying from a few gallons to two or three | cubic - yards, and occasionally much more, flowed on board every five seconds. It sometimes broke on board with a deafening thunderclap, so that the helmsman stood in water up to his waist and felt as if he were forcing his way against the current in a swift river. The raft seemed to stand trembling for a moment, but then the cruel load that weighed | her down astern disappeared overboard again in great cas- | cades. Herman was out all the time with his anemometer measuring the squalls of gale force, which lasted for 24 hours. Then they gradually dropped to a stiff breeze with scattered rain squalls, which continued to keep | the seas boiling round us as we | tumbled on westward with a good sailing wind. To obtain accurate wind measurements . down among the towering seas Herman had, whenever possible, ! to make his ‘way up to the swaying masthead, where it | was all he could do to hold on.

= » » WHEN THE weather moderated, it was as though the big | fish around us had become completely infuriated. The water round the raft was full of | sharks, tunnies, dolphins, and a few dazed bonitos, all wriggling | about close under the timber of the raft and in the waves near- | est to it. | It was a ceaseless life-and- { death struggle;the backs of big | fishes arched themselves over | the water and shot off like rockets, one chasing another in | pairs, while the water round the | raft was repeatedly tinged with | thick blood. | The combatants were mainly | tunnies and dolphins, and the dolphins came in big shoals which moved much more quick-

Now and again the sharks,

They had | been devqured by the furious | tunnies, or they had hidden in | the chinks under the raft or fled | far away from the battlefield. We dared not put our head: down into the water to see.

unexpectedly received a violent punch astern from something large and cold and very heavy, which came butting vp against me like a shark's hea“ in the sea. I was actually on my way up the mast stay, with a feeling that I had a shark hanging on to my hindquarters, before 1 collected myself. Herman, who was hanging over the steering oar, doubled up with laughter, was able to tell me that a huge tunny had delivered a sideways smack at my nakedness with his 160 pounds of: cold fish. Afterward, when Herman and then Torstein were on watch, the same fish tried to jump on board with the seas from astern, and twice the big fellow was right up on the end of the logs, but each time it flung itself overboard again before we could get a grip of the slippery body. ‘ After that a stout bewildered bonito came right on board with a sea, and with that, and a tunny caught the day before, we decided to fish, to bring order into the sanguinary chaos that surrounded us. » » " OUR DIARY says: “A aixfoot shark was hooked first and hauled on board. As soon as the hook was out again, it was swallowed by an eightfoot shark, and we hauled that on board. When the hook came out again, we got a fresh sixfoot shark and had hauled it over the edge of the raft when it broke loose and dived. The hook went out at once, and an eight-foot shark came on to it and gave us a hard tussle. We had its head over the logs when all four steel lines were cut through and the shark dived into the depths. New hook out, and a seven-foot shark was hauled on board. “It was now dangerous to stand on the slippery logs aft fishing, because the three sharks kept on throwing up their heads and snapping, long after cone would have thought they were dead. We dragged the sharks forward by the tail into a heap on the foredeck, and soon afterward a big tunny was hooked and gave us more of a fight than any shark before we got it on board. It was so fat and heavy that none of us could lift it by the tail. “The sea was just full of furious fish backs. Another shark was hooked but broke away just when it was heing pulled on board. But then we got a six-foot shark safely on board. Then we caught yet another six-foot shark and hauled it up. When the hook came out again, we hauled in a sevenfoot shark.” Wherever we walked on deck, there were big sharks lying in the way, beating their tails convulsively on the deck or thrashing against the bamboo cabin as they snapped around them. Already tired and worn out when we began to fish after the storm, we became completely befuddled as to which sharks were quite dead, which were still snapping convulsively if we went near them, and which were

| CHAPTER TWO | THE ESSENCE of the | American Proposition can | be understood only against the long religious history of mankind. Man first discovered the

fatherhood of God, then the brotherhood of all men in Christ. As he grew in spiritual

understanding, he was released in the custody of his own conscience, to seek good and shun evil according to his own lights, This spiritual freedom is real

because man was created by God in the “image” of God. Man therefore carries within

him something that the merely | animal does not have, the divine spark, the “image.” Since every man is thus of God, every man is equal, in the sense that no man can claim he is more important to God than any other man. | The human individual thus has a special status with regard | to all other things and beings on earth: he must live, and must be entitled to live, by the laws of God, not just by tre laws and directives of men, According to the Anvrican Proposition, this special status of the individual is couched in certain Rights with which every one is endowed. It is specifically stated in the Declaration of Independence that man is endowed with tleese Rights by his Creator; the Rights, therefore, are not man-made but God-made. 3 They are “unalienable,”

This is the second of 12 articles from the book, U. S. A.: THE PERMANENT REVOLUTION, just published by Pren-tice-Hall. Mr. Davenport is the former personal representative of Wendell Willkie and a noted writer and editor, grounded in the universe itself, reflecting universal laws of nature. That is to say, they are natural, not merely political, Rights.

these three are only among others, but in fact no other Right of equal rank has been formulated.

These natural Rights have not been mere theories in America. They have lived in

the hearts of the people. They actuated the Revolutionary War, the Civil War, and much thereafter. Indeed, the thesis can sustained that in the analysis American history heen a struggle to define and implement these Rights, and that this struggle is still going on.

quite alive and were lying in ambush for us with their green cat's eyes. When we had nine sharks lying round us in every direction, we were so weary of hauling on heavy lines and fighting with the twisting and snapping giants that we gave up after five hours’ toil. Next day there were fewer dolphins and tunnies but just as many sharks. We began to fish and haul them in again but soon stopped when we perceived that all the fresh shark's blood that ran off the raft only attracted still more sharks. We threw all the dead sharks overboard and washed the whole deck clean of blood. The bamboo mats were torn by shark teeth and rough sharkgkin, and we threw the bloodiest and most torn of them overboard and replaced them with new golden - yellow bamboo

dangers involved in this course. There is the danger, in the first place, of using the great thoughts of the founding fathers as a substitute for our own thoughts, and of inviting the development, in a time of trouble, of a kind of national-

istic religion complete - with dusty relics and inviolate dogma.

There is the danger of feeding the fire of our native optimism by throwing upon it the more respectable but no less inflammable optimism of the eighteenth century, with its innocent belief in the goodness of man the automatism of progress. But for the present, when our task 18 to present the thesis, we suggest that many of them are met, in fact or by inference,. in the title we have chggen for

We could eat shark—it tasted like haddock if we got the ammoniac out of the pieces by putting them in sea water for 24 hours—but bonito and tunny were infinitely better. That evening, for the first time, I heard one of the fellows say that it would soon be pleasant to be able to stretch oneself out comfortably on the green grass: on a palm island; he would be glad to see something other than cold fish and rough sea. The weather had become quite quiet again, but it was never as constant and dependable as before. Incalculable, vi-

this issue: The Permanent Revolution. This phase was an invention of Leon Trotsky's. But that fact need not deter us. The entire Bolshevik revolution, it is now clear, was just another counterrevolution against liberty—the biggest, perhaps, but still one of many. Moreover, to call any Communist revolution “permanent” is a contradiction in terms. A social and political revolution takes place against something. If it fails, it disappears. If it succeeds. it replaces the status

quo against which it rebelled and becomes {tself the status quo. The contradiction of Trot-

<ky's use of the phrase is thus revealed by a simple question: Should the Communists revolution succeed totally, what would be left for it to rebel against? The answer is, nothing. on n ~ THIS IS NOT the case with the American revolution. The revolution of the individual can never become the status quo, because the human spirit, as revealed by the founder of Christianity, is limitless.

Therefore the task of the American revolution, which is to make that spirit free on earth, can never be finished. We cannot say at any given point, here we. are free. We can say only that with.reference to the past we have gained some degree or some fragment of freedom, We have gained free speech, however imperfectly; but what about the thinking be-

When it was pouring the hardest, we collected water from the cabin roof and stood on deck naked, thoroughly to enjoy the luxury of having the salt washed off with fresh water. The pilot fish were wriggling along again in their usual places, but whether they were the same old ones which had returned after the blood bath, or whether they were new followers taken over in the heat of the battle, we could not say.

purpose to it? Ar: we not still chained in our thinking to prejudice and ignorance? Are we not still the slaves of error? The individual lives surrounded by darkness. He is a mere candle. The task of the permanent revolution is to increase the light of that candle, the light of every candle, so that one light may reach to another light and the darkness may thus be dispelled, Here in this land, by learning to apply the Proposition, we have gained some elementary:

steps. We have gained in the first place the principle that every candle has a right ta

shine. That is the political right. We have made extraordinary progress in the direction of providing every candle with the material fuel that it needs, That i= the economic right. Yet in pursuit of real freedom we hav: yet to gain much more than we have ‘won. ?

We have not begun to gaim freedom from error, the free« dom that comes from right reason. We have not begun ta gain freedom from hate, the freedom that is born of love.
