Wheeler For
 United Europe

Helena, Mon.Y yuIy -.. tUP)- The United States should make known it's foreign policy at once and use it's influence to organize a fed eralized Europe to prevent the par tition of the continent into Russian and British spheres of influence after the war, Sen, Burton K Wheeler, D. Mont, declared last night.
 Wheeler, an 0utsp0ken isolationist before Pearl Harbor, criticized what he said was this eOuptrys wait and see' policy concerning postwar Fe- adjustment and advocated that the United States take an active and iorthright part in pushing the idea Of a Democratic Union of Europe
 He cited the success of Americas 'E federation of 48 states and said that the problem of Europe Is not gTeat' ly different,
 "The geographical area is faV smaller" he said, "apd the agTlv cultural and industrial problems gre more homogeneous, Even the ethnie and religious differences are not greater than in our G0uptFy,'
 4 federated Europe, Wheeler said, was the only effective means of maintaining peace and international harmony, He said he was in favor of a peace that would avoid the the necessity of American soldiers policing the world indefinitely afs ter the war is won,

Ragweed Pollen Bane
 Of Hay Fever Victims
Chief Source of Complaint in Connecticut Reports Dr..
 James (. Hart of State Health Department

Ragweed is the most important cause of hay fever in Connecticut, stated James c. Hart, MD, in the July Health Bulletin published by the Connecticut State Department of Health. Over 90 per cent of hay fever victims are sensitive to this plant.
 The symptoms of hay fever are produced by the inhalation of pol len by persons who are susceptible. Hay fever is characterized by the onset of symptoms at the same time each year, when pollen is in the air. The exact pollen causing sensitivity can be determined by scratch tests upon the skin. Most physicians recommend that hay fever sufferers obtain injections of graduated dos es of pollen extract to increase their tolerance. Such inoculations are giv- en before or during the hay fever season, or they may be given at periodic intervals throughout the year. While sensitization through inoculations offers the greatest benefits to hay fever victims, the symptoms of this disease can be eliminated by avoiding pollen. In Connecticut, the lowest amounts of pollen are found in the wooded

sections of the northwestern part Of the state and along the southeastern shore line. Pollen can be avoided at home by remaining in closed room where the air is quiet. Air fil- tering units for home use have also been found useful in this connec- tion.
 In Connecticut, there are three main hay fever seasons: the early spring caused by pollen from certain trees, especially the elm, oak and birch; the late spring and early summer when the pollen comes from grasses and weeds; late sum- mer and early fall, during which ragwood is the offender.
 The ragWeed pollen season in Connecticut lasts from aboue August 10 to October, or until early frost The common variety of ragweed grows in gardens, vacant lots anC wherever there is freshly turned earth. The giant ragweed is found in low or moist areas. No one community in the state is entirely free of ragweed. Eradication oi these plants can be accomplished by pulling the ragweed plants up bJ their roots before they have had 6 chance to blossom and send theil pollen into the air. Ability to recog- nize the plants is of the utmost im- portance. Eradication campagins call for community as well as in- diyidual effort.
 The amount of pollen in the ail and the severity of hay fever symp- toms are influenced by the weather Rain clears the atmosphere of pol. len until such time as pollen blowl in from other areas. Low tempera, ture will kill the plants thus reduc. ing the pollen in the air. During the hay fever season sufferers should also avoid other substances such as house dust, feathers, kapok, orri, root, silk, tobacco, animal hairs flanders and fungi. These substance es may also cause hay fever anc sometimes provoke an attack Of asthma.

An Eighth Air Force Composite Station, England-If Sergeant Har- " c. O'Connell of Bristol, Conn, should elect to do any travelling by air or by road in this country or Europe after the war, the navi- gator of the plane or the driver of the car will not have to worry about getting lost. The reason O'Connell as the map sergeant of the intelligence section at this sta- ton dispenses the maps to the navi- gators of the B-lT Flying Fort resses that range over Continental Europe.
 With the many thousands of maps and charts that he has in his charge showing air routes for navigators to work with he has become famil- far with the geographical layout of England and Europe that he is one American in the unusual position of knowing more about the Europ- can countries than of the United States.
 Also as map sergeant it is his responsibility to post daily the pro- gress of the war in Europe. With the information that he receives daily from Supreme Headquarters Allied Expeditionary Forces, confi- dential sources and Russian com- muniques he is able to show on a huge map of the continent just where our armies are. Looking at the map 1t is also easy to see the rec cord for the week of the Eighth Air Force heavy. medium and fight er-bombers. the obJectives they have attacked and the amount of ton- mage dropped on the target.
 He is the son of Mrs. Ellen J. O'Connell, 3l3 Main street, Bristol, and brother of the late Grattan O'Connell, formerly a star end on
