Outraged was the word last week for the ladies of Washington Heights-the Little America in the heart of Tokyo where the families of 2,350 U.S. Air Force men live and never had it so good. A sergeant had been posted at the door of the commissary, and every woman who showed up wearing a bathing suit, shorts, slacks, blue jeans, pedal pushers or halter was politely but firmly turned away.

Rippling his muscles in a meaty arpeggio, the Strong Man tells the gods: "I want to live like any other mortal. I want children of my own."

And more often than not, its secret has been good actors, live performances. Last week it was June Havoc as Momma, Edward Andrews as Dad, and Jane Withers as Momma's sister, who put a lively kick into Pink Burro. In the past, Tallulah Bankhead, Ethel Merman, Maurice Evans, Helen Hayes and Julie Harris handled similar chores. No one on the Steel Hour sees any reason to search...
