NEXTBIG REVOLT on Capitol
Hill may bust out in the House
Education and Labor Committee,
whose members are sore as blazes
at their chairman, Congressman
Graham Barden, the courtly re-
actionary from North Carolina.
If Barden doesn't stop his fili-
bustering tactics against two vital-
ly important bills-Federal aid for
school construction and minimum
wage liberalization-some of his
colleagues may start an open re-
bellion.
What irks the insurgents is that
Barden obviously is trying to kill
two birds with one stone. By pro-
longing hearings on the school-
construction bill indefinitely-thus
preventing a floor vote during this
session-he also can take up the
committee's time and forestall ac-
tion on the minimum-wage bill.
HOWEVER, Democratic Con-
gressman Cleveland Bailey of West
Virginia, leader of the insurgent
majority, bluntly warned Barden
at a recent closed-door meeting:
"This committee has delayed far

too long in authorizing Federal
aid for underhoused school chil-
dren. If the delay continues, I'm
going to demand a showdown vote
on who is responsible."
"While we're on the subject, I
may as well say that I have every
intention of asking for a vote in
the near future on the minimum-
wage bill, for which the distin-
guished chairman also seems to
show small enthusiasm," broke in
Democrat Lee Metcalf of Montana.
"This is no surprise to me," de-
clared Barden, haughtily. "I know
how you feel about that bill."
EX-PRESIDENT Harry Truman
got his biggest birthday chuckle
from a greeting sent by Demo-
cratic National Headquarters. The
greeting card was an original car-
toon, showing an "Out to Lunch"
sign at the White House being
replaced by a sign reading, "Out
to Golf." . . . The President's
speech-writers are having trouble
keeping him from giving his
speeches off-the-cuff a la Truman.
Ike has insisted on giving his
next speech ad lib. He says he's

more at ease saying what comes
to his mind than reading someone
else's stilted lines. But the ghost-
writers warn that a President's
every word must be carefully con-
sidered in advance, that he could
upset international policy by pop-
ping off with an ad lib remark. So
Ike has grudgingly agreed to stick
to the text in his next speech.

COLOMBIA'S popular Ambas-

makes it a point to know the
USA. He has visited 40 of the
48 states, drives every summer
through a good part of the nation.
This summer, after the UN con-
ference in San Francisco, he'll tour
through an area he doesn't know
so well-Oregon, Washington, Ida-
ho, and Montana ... The Ambas-
sador usually stops in motels, says
the USA is better equipped to
handle tourists than any other
country . . . "The motel business
is a family business," says Zuleta.
"Everyone in the family works at
it-wife, husband, children. You
really get into the heart of Amer-
ica."

By J. M. ROBERTS
Associated Press News Analyst
PRESIDENT Eisenhower's revelation that
America's economic policy toward Commu-
nist countries is under review reopens a matter
which has troubled the Western allies for years.
None of the other free countries has been as
rigid as the United States about holding back
from any sort of trade which would increase the
military potenitial of the Red bloc.
On occasion the other allies have raised loud
voices against restrictions insisted upon by the
United States, which she was able to enforce
for a time because she was helping to support
them.
Now the American economic aid program for
the Western countries is being cut down or has
ended, and her voice in such matters is neither
so loud nor so insistent. Not long ago the list
of restricted commodities was greatly reduced.
OTHER considerations, such as a bargaining
point, have brought the President to a posi-
tion which is more or less traditional in inter-
national affairs - that trade is an important
diplomatic weapon.
It is true that trade which aids an enemy eco-
nomically also increases his war potential. Ev-
ery Allied move in recent years has been made
against the essential background of keeping
the free world's economy sound in the knowl-
edge that, without it, a stable defense system
is impossible.

On the other hand, the need for economic
expansion is the traditional cause of war, and
no nation will keep its guns holstered in the
face of economic strangulation.
ECONOMIC strangulation of the Red bloc is
impossible. Its territory and its undeveloped
resources are too great. But even partial stran-
gulation has its effect on national attitudes.
The President indicated the United States
was prepared to take a more liberal view of
how trade could benefit the United States and
her allies, in the balance against how much it
might help the Communist sphere.
And there is always the possibility that mu-
tually profitable trade might be one of the
levers by which the Reds can be pried away
from the idea that they can live safely only in
a world conquered by communism.

NEEDS NEW 'GINGER':
'Ageless' Astaire Still Unparalled

By ERNEST THEODOSSIN
Daily Movie Critic
FRED ASTAIRE, Hollywood's
grand master of the dance,, is
now on display in a frothy, light-
hearted musical, "Daddy Long
Legs." Fortunately for Astaire
fans, the gentleman has lost little
of his talent and ability in more
than a quarter century of dancing.
The chief commodity which has
made Astaire such a favorite is a
charmingaand casual personality
which enables him to put across
almost any number. His singing
voice is not good, but he exhibits
a flair for imbuing each song with
a relaxed and unaffected presen-
tation that makes one forget his
vocal shortcomings.
As a dancer, Astaire has out-
lasted scores of Hollywood male
stars. His style is an angular, elec-
tric one which enables him to
move with overwhelming fluidity.
This he particularly exhibits in
his ballroom turns, and is. epito-
mized in his latest film in a rhyth-
mic interpretation of "Something's
Gotta Give."
* *' *
HIS FAMOUS tapping has been
copied by dozens of young dancers.
But none seem to be able to du-
plicate his economy of motion, the
agility with which he interprets
even the most complex rhythms.
Astaire achieved stardom in the
early thirties in a series of inti-
mate, warm musicals with Ginger
Rogers. At that time, Hollywood
musicals worked on the assump-
tion that 'the more dancing girls

matched his smoothness, most of
whom have proven unsuitable.
In the late thirties and early
forties, Astaire ran through a se-
ries of dancers. None of them (e.g.,
Eleanor Powell, Paulette Goddard)
seemed satisfactory.
For two musicals, Astaire danced
with Rita Hayworth. Miss Hay-
worth had the sophistication and
poise that Astaire needed so much
in a partner, and their work in
"You'll Never Get Rich" and "You
Were Never Lovelier" was a re-
freshing pause in a series of loud,
gaudy Gay-Nineties pictures cf the
forties.
Hayworth and Astaire achieved
the same intimacy that he had
earlier exhibited with Miss Rogers,
In "Lovelier" they danced an ex-
citing rhythm -tap and moved
through a tango routine that
seemed to personify for a few mo-
ments the very intense beauty of
controlled motion.
Miss Hayworth became a glam-
or girl and has confined much of
her recent dancing to nautch bits.
* * *
IN THE FORTIES Astaire work-
ed with a series of singers-turned-
dancers, such as Judy Garland,
Betty Hutton, and later Jane Pow-
ell. None of these were very com-
petent and only in a few pictures
with Vera Ellen did any female
dancer seem right for him.
Two years ago Astaire made
"The Bandwagon" with Cyd Char-
isse, and here he seemed to have
found his best partner in a decade.
They did a hesitation fox-trot to
"Dancing In The Dark" and a

as Miss Caron appears uncomfort-
able in non-ballet numbers.
Astaire's forte is not the arty
film ballet. His dancing in recent
years has slowed up some, but the
beauty and restraint with which he
moves is still there. As long as he
sticks to tap and ballroom, his
wonderful precision remains un-
paralleled.
From the appearance of his solo
work in "Daddy Long Legs," Fred
Astaire can go on dancing forever.
