W.v.'.'.'.'.'.'.'.'.'.'.'.'.'.'.r'.' W ' "'' 1 iimyywvrmv1mw.w.wWi,A,il 'D IT ORI ALS Furses Fresh Flashes THE BERMUDA CONFERENCE President Dwight D. Eisenhower acted wisely in agreeing to the Bermuda Con ference, since there is nothing to lose and something to gain in the meeting of Amer ican, British and French leaders. The meeting, moreover, comes at a time when U. S. foreign policy is being severely ques tioned abroad and when clarification of the issues and U. S. policy (and British and French policy) can do no harm. We Americans sometimes fail to ap preciate the fact that our foreign policy has often left much to be desired. Per haps, this is the case because, in recent years, we have tended to be isolationist and, not until World War II, did this coun try take over the position and responsi bility of the leading power of the World. One does not have to look back far to recall the ineptness of our foreign policies between the World Wars. From an eco nomic standpoint, this country was the pri mary culprit in a race of tariff hikes which set off a world wide frenzy of restrictive trade agreements, barter arrangements and unilateral trade pacts. Our policy also stimulated the development of the quota system, as used by France, prior to World War II, which strictly limited the amount of U. S. sales in countries limiting imports by the quota system. The U. S. trade policy finally resulted in forcing the British to abandon the free trade principle which they had championed for so many years and was one major cause of the tragic world depression. In the realm of defense and foreign relations, the United States repeatedly blundered in the 1930's. One can recall how Congress refused to take the proper steps to safeguard our possessions in the Pacific in the thirties, how America re fused to arm when danger signals were obvious in every corner of the world, and how we entered World War II almost com pletely unprepared despite ample warn ings and plenty of time in which to have mobilized defense resources. Therefore, we see little to be lost in the conference at Bermuda, where the leaders of the countries will be able to lay their cards quite frankly on the table. Those semi-isolationists in this country, some of them in Congress, who would re fuse to associate with the United Nations, or with our allies, if we do not have our way one hundred per cent in certain vital fields, do themselves and their country little service by taking immovable posi tions. If one has allies, he must be ready to make some concessions to their point &f view, and if this country is not willing to make anw concessions to its allies, we will not long enjoy such a relationship and may well find ourselves with no other choice but to "go-it-alone." it REGULATING ELECTIONS Senators Carl Hayden, Arizona Demo crat, Robert C. Hendrickson, New Jersey Republican, and Thomas C. Hennings, Jr., Missouri Democrat, have introduced a bill which would raise the limitations on cam paign spending and bring primaries and party conventions under certain Federal regulations. The three Senators seem agreed that laws regulating Federal elections are cur rently inadequate to meet today's . needs. While the bill might run into heavy oppo- f ttuuu utanuy wiui raising iiie limitations on expenditures by candidates should meet general approval. The bill would raise the limit of ex penditures for national committees in Presidential races from $3,000,000 to $10, 000,000. Candidates for the Senate would be allowed to spend $50,000, rather than $25,000, and candidates for the House of TIIOUGII1 FOR TODAY . mother is th'nui alive. a mother still, the holiest S. T.

DREW PEARSON SAYS: STRIP-TEASE ACT AT NAVAL BASE JOLTS ADMIRALS; SCAPE GOAT JUNIOR OFFICER HELD IN BRIG 40 DAYS WITHOUT CHARG ES; CHAPLAIN GETS RETIRED FOR PROTESTING SEXY NAVAL SMOKERS. WASHINGTON Red-faced admirals are trying-to shush up a spicy scandal at the Key West naval base involving some lewd movies and a strip-tease dancer. who wrestled with enlisted men at a navy "smoker." Aftermath of the unusual navy enter tainment has been the transfer of Base Commander Adm. Irvin T. Duke to Char leston,, S. C. the jailing of Lieut. Comdr. Jerry McDanicl, while the chaplain who protested the strip-tease act and lewd movies, Lieut. Comdr. Greer Imbrie, is be ing transferred to inactive duty. Chaplain Imbrie had first protested the lewd movies to the naval air commandant, Capt. A. E. Buck ley. When this did not stop a second show he wrote direct to Washington. His reward will be retirement on July 31 though the navy will not admit the two have any connection. Captain Buckley's "reward' was heart trouble. He was immediately confined to his bed with a heart attack and remained inaccess able to certain viistors. Real scandal in the end may be the way the navy railroaded Commander McDaniel as the scapegoat. McDaniel is not an Annapolis man. Other top brass are. He was held 40 days vir tually incommunicado in . the navy brig- without a charge be ing filed against him, which is contrary to the bill of rights. While he was held, navy brass scratched their heads as to what charges they should file against him. Yitamnis, Not Dope ' After all, it would be highly embarrassing to charge him with arranging a strip-tease show un der navy auspices. So navy in vestigators raided his desk, pounced on a bottle and tried to show that McDaniel was tak ing dope. It was also suggested he was acting as if he might commit suicide. But the plot was exploded when a navy doctor, Lieut. Wil liam E. Perednia, admitted that superior officers had come to him with the dope charge and the suicide suggestion. Perednia further testified that the 'seized dope was nothing but vitamin pills and that McDaniel had no suicidal tendencies. The trouble all began from a most worthy motive raising a record $70,000 for Key West charities. Someone suggested it might be a good idea to borrow some spicy films from the local American Legion and throw a "smoker." Captain Buckley did not disapprove of the idea, and his subordinates felt they had the go-ahead signal. There is no record that Ad miral Duke, himself, was con sulted, though he was responsi ble for all activities at the' base. The "smoker'' idea was taken up with his office, however, and his subordinates requested only that it be cleared with the city authoritiesm. City Fathers Applaud The city fathers not only gave their OK, but turned out en thusiastically for the first show. Holding down the bald-headed row at the first show were Key West's Mayor C. E. Harvey, City Manager Dave King, Chief of Police Joe Kemp, Superinten dent of Schools Jack Guthrie, City Commisisoner John Carbo nell and Florida Circuit Judge Raymond Lord. Some complained afterward that the movies were not spicy enough, so a second "smoker" was scheduled, again fcr char ity. But Chaplain Imbrie had heard that the movies were risque. He called cn Captain Buckley and registered his ob jections. Buckley gave the chaplain a brush-off, but took the precau tion to issue oral orders that the navy should have nothing to do with the second "smoker." Civilian employees were left free to do whatever they wished, however, and Howard McDon ald, a civilian clerk, went ahead with the arrangements where McDaniel had left off. McDon ald by-passed the American Le gion, obtained juicier films, and after the movies, Sheila, the strip-tease lady, mysteriously appeared and began shedding her clothes. Finally, she called to the crowd: "Want to wres tle!"' Three obliging sailors then assisted in her act. Eyebrows Lifted Following this second smoker, Chaplain Imbrie appealed to the navy's head chaplain for ad vice, and wrote a full report to Washington. This raised eyebrow's right up to the secretary of the navy. On March 6, -McDaniel was thrown into the brig. And McDonald, the civilian clerk, was suspend ed. A week later, Captain Buck Icy was rushed to the hospital with a heart attack. It wasn't long afterward that Admiral Duke was promoted to be com mander of the Sixth Naval Dis trict and was ' transferred to Charleston, S. C. , McDaniel, in his guarded cell, was allowed to see no visitors except his wife, without a navy chaperone present. He was de nied all v. mailing privileges, which prevented him from writ ing letters of protest. Formal charges were not filed against him until April 16 40 days later. Meanwhile, Captain Buckley was questioned in his sickbed by the navy investigators, but, the day afterward, he was pro nounced "too sick" to be ques tioned by McDaniel's attorney. His court-martial will take place m July. Note Admiral Duke and Cap tain Buckley are Annapolis graduates. McDaniel worked up from the enlisted ranks to lieutenant commander. His fit ness reports consistently rated him among the top 10 per cent of navy officers, but he doesn't belong to the so-called Annap olis Protective Association." Merry-Go-Round Dining at British Air Marshal Elliott's home here the other night, Sir Gladwyn Jebb, Brit ain's diplomat who talks circles round the Russians at the U. N., praised Ike's book-burning speech, "even though illiterate," but couldn't understand why he reversed himself on book-burning two days later . . .
