1ipsY Motorist Tests
Will Protect Public,
Keech Emphasizes

Richmond B. Keech, corporation
counsel and author Of = bill provid-
Ing for scientific tests to determine
sobriety Of persons charged with
drunken driving, emphasized yes
terday that his bill provides protec-
tion for innocent persons and at the
same time furnishes means Of con-
victing the guilty.
Mr.. Keech told members OF the
Women's Safety Committee Of the
American Automobile Association at
a luncheon meeting at the Sulgrave
Club that there is q definite need
for taking the guesswork out of
determining whether or not q driver
n intoxicated.
The determination Of drunkenness
would be based on tests made by
some competent authority of the
blood, saliva, urine or breath Of per-
sons charged with intoxicated driv-
ing.
Certain jurists have recognized
such law as not being an invasion
of personal rights under the Con-
stitution," said Mr.. Keech, adding
that the individual retains the right
of being tested by his own physician
to check findings of some delegated
authority.
Stressing the need for such legis-
lation, Mr.. Keech said, mo one could
contest the fact that driving an auto
mobile under the influence of liquor
Is as hazardous as carrying a gun"
Speaking of the medical aspects
Of the bill now pending in Congress
DR.. Oscar Hunter, former president
of the District Medical Association
and board member of the AAA
emphasized that tests to determine
intoxication must be administered
within 30 minutes of the accident if
they are to be of any value.
Many persons suspected Of being
drunk are the victims of disease,
such as diabetes, and others under
the influence of certain medicines
prescribed by physicians, DR.. Hunter
asserted, adding that fluid test
will prove without any doubt
whether or not person is drunk at
the time the specimen is taken
Youth Leader Speaks.
Mr.. Roy Breg, executive secretary
OF Allied Youth, told the group his
organization is aiding young people
to make their own decisions concern
ing drinking through program of
education.
Mrs. George c. Thorpe, commit
tee chairman, in presiding, pointed
out that the two major problems to
be faced this year in connection with
traffic fatalities are thoss of the
drunken driver and the aged, alb
sent-minded pedestrian.
Among those present were Arthur
E. Miller, traffic inspector; DR.. Car
roll Reed, assistant superintendent
In charge of elementary schools;
Mr.. Washington R. Cleveland, man
ager, District of Columbia division
OF the AAA; Mrs. Claude Pepper,
wife Of the Democratic Senator from
Florida, and Mrs. Joseph C.
OMahoney, wife of the Democratic
Senator from Wyoming.

'eWaterbury Vets of World War IT,

There is growing speculation prevail ent here as to the reasons behind the re- gently organized "Waterbury Veterans of World War IT. association made up solely of discharged veterans of this pres ent conflict. Speculation is centered on the reasons prompting these men to ap- parantly disassociate themselves with the long established veterans organizations of the last war.
 If there are reasons we don't know them and aren't going to attempt to ar rive at any. These men, comprising this newly formed organization, are not in- petouS, self-Seeking individuals. They have known hardshipS of the Severest kind, have stood up under them and are back to take their place in normal life. There has been a conlmendable dignity about the quiet, Self-sufficient manner in which they have organized, which sug- gests mature outlook both on their part and of those who have guided them.
 Perhaps there is degree of youth will be served" about their action and to this they are unqualifiedly entitled. Beyond that we feel that the basis of their move springs from that old American custom of being independent, Seif-sufficient and possessing initiative to handle ones own problems. It was just these qualities which prompted the formation of so many of the highly commendable veterans or ganizationS of the last war.
 Their organization is yet in its infancy. It must be allowed to attain the growth of maturity before speculation should be- come conclusion. Every good wish is ex- tended, herein, to these men. We are cer- tain that the people of Waterbury are proud to witness this purposeful action by these men, who have been to the wars, suffered their wounds and have returned to their community with healthy plans for civic progress.

ings. Industry should be encouraged to produce the goods and retail distributors should be encouraged to make those goods available to consumers on as large a scale as possible without actually impairing war production.
 Complicated regulations have been to blame for removing from retail shelves many critically needed consumer items. When merchants and manufacturers point to the effect of specific regulations on dwindling supplies, they are assured that everything possible is being done to correct the situation-but the regulations continue in force and supplies dwindle. Low priced clothing is case in point. Certain lines of women'S and children'S apparel have literally been ruled off the market.
 If these regulations that restrict pro- duction and distribution of consumer goods are part of misguided attempt to bolster civilian morale, it is about time the country learned the truth. A nation whose people have sent ten million men to war, will not appreciate public servants playing with the home front like children play with toy.

Views Of The Press

story writer, novelist, occasional politician, auto-biographer.
 His books must number some where between sixty and seventy. It is often said of fertile authors that they write too much. That may be rather highbrow and grabbed view. For more than generation Irwin Cobb worked for the pleasure of his countrymen. He became in time al- most like character in a novel himself. There was a sort of legen- dary Cobb beside the real one. His irony and his humor have amused, refreshed and rested multitudes. Even as an after dinner speaker, a function that seems harder and harder every year to fill, he was the joy of his listeners. And we must not forget his good service as an entertainer of our armed forces, when his own health was none too good.
 In Paducah, his birthplace, and that of Judge Priest and other of his most popular personages, his name is affectionately remembered. Sometimes a humorist or novelist who uses his townsmen as studies for persons in his book finds that, like Thomas Wolfe, he can't go home again. Liked generally. Cobb was best liked where best known.

TOO MUCH PSYCHOLOGY

An exchange of letters between Senator Maloney of Connecticut and Donald M. Nelson, chairman of the War Production Board, served to provide the answers to some current questions about cancellations of con- tracts and resumption of production of civilian goods. The Senator from Connecticut asked six specific ques- tionS, the general purpose of which was to ascertain what policies will govern cut-backs of military produc- tion and resumption of civilian pro- auction. Boiled down, MT. Nelson'S | answers came to this: That the ex- tent of cut-backs and their geo. graphical distribution will depend to large extent on man. power needs in various areas; that the resump- tion of production of civilian goods will be determined by the availabil- ity of man power, materials and component parts; that, generally speaking, manufacturers will not be permitted to resume production of civilian goods all at the same time, on quota basis; and that new firms will not be forbidden to enter fields of production, but that the lack of critical component parts will in most instances estop them
 One disturbing thought appears in this correspondence. MT. Nelsons letter includes statement that the military services are concerned over the possible adverse effect on morale. both on the home front and on the fighting fronts. of expansion of pro- duction of civilian goods. Whatever else may form the basis for policies to be followed by the government and by business, mind reading ought not to be an element. What Senator Maloney was interested in was the production of essential civilian goods. The production of such goods, with materials not needed for the war, by workers not needed for the war ef- fort. should not injure morale anywhere or anyhow; the dubious question of mass psychology need not be raised at all. Of much greater practical importance at this time is the controlling influence of short ages in such critical component parts as bearings. motors and cast ings. The business man can under stand tangible barriers. but he will be at a loss to understand the psy- hhological barriers thus erected by the military services.

A Touch of Green

On St. Patrick's Day all the world is kin. There was time when it was Ire lands own day, that is the people of that country and those over here of Irish extraction. However, today, as you will note it has been pretty much adopted as a general day of celebration. That is why you see persons of all creeds and races wearing touch of green.
 The touch of green is symbol of a small but important country; one of the earliest to show marked degree of cul- ture and learning. The saga of Ireland or Fire, it's present and old name, is one unequaled by any other nation. The earl fest roots of learning and culture were cen- tered in that country in the many great monaSterieS that bear the names of Bishops of reknoWn, such as Colman, and the monks such as St. Columbia at the monastery at Bangor. These are just two of many names that spell Ireland'S illus triouS past.
 Today Ireland is more or less on the spot. We read daily varying opinions on her stand of neutrality at the present time. We read opinions that are sound and fair enough we read others that show no conception of the situation- or Ireland. The current issue of the Jesuit weekly has two important articles this week. one on Irelands cultural his tory; the other written by a North Ireland man, who gives, what seems, fair pie ture of the existing animoSity between the North and the South. They are worth reading.
 At this time, however, it is for us all, Irish and not Irish, to maintain that friendly attitude that comes with St. Patrick's Day. St. Patrick, we gather, was mild but brilliant man. This is his day, the day when we are impressed with the fact that he established faith that was adopted by a country, faith that has never been lost to that country. To- day where there are parades and events of Irish character all are out, friendly like, wearing a touch of green.

Modernizing Fire Prevention

The National Board of Fire Under writers has just issued modernlzed code of suggested Ordinances for Small Mu- nicipalitieS. Included are recommenda- tionS for bringing up to date the building and fire prevention codes of small and medium sized communities. It has been working to make American communities safer through the establishment of unl- form fire prevention measures, ever since it published "A Suggested Building Ordl- nance for Small Towns and Villages" III 1941. Untold lives and countless millions of dollars have been saved from fire de- struction by this continuing endeavor.
 The building ordinance in the new code contains specific provisions not hereto fore found in suggested legislation for small municipalities. Among them are the assignment of specific duties to building official; regulations dealing with light and ventilation in structures oI practically all types; adequate means or egress; requirements for the location ana construction of garages; and specific regulations for such details as plumbing, sprinkler systems and outdoor display signs.
 Many communities as result of the war, have been mushroomed into hlves of industrial activity. Leaders of such communities bear heavy responsibility in seeing that scientific fire prevention programs keep abreast of community growth It is the intent of the improved code to aid them, as well as civic leaders of every other community, in mobilizing every modern resource at their command against the common enemy, fire.

went on, he disappointed the pre- dictions of those who loved him. Few students attended his lectures. Apparently nothing came of his promising genius. As an outlet to his pent-up feelings of illustration. Amiel kept a journal for his own eye alone. Into it he poured his disappointment. his philosophical observations about life. his re- actions toward the experiences he had gained during the day.
 Then Amiel died. and the journal which he meant only for his own eye became world famous. He ap- peared to everyone. including him self. to be a failure. but the revela- ton he made to the world of his soul proved not only to be a great piece of literature, but a book Of great helpfulness to others.
 Sometimes in the midst of our failure we achieve our most amazing success. As we stumble along the road. we may. quite unconsciously, be rising to heights of achievement.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Burning Lips and Tongue

For two years I have suffered with burning lips and tongue, Somes times also throat. I am 52, don't smoke or drink. The burning seems more intense as the day progresses. Doctors have been unable to offer any relief. (MrS. M. T0
 Answer-Riboflavin (vitamin O shortage may be responsible. Best food source is fresh milk-no harm to take five pints daily-pint with each of three meals, pint mid-fore- noon, mid-afternoon-if you can, take sixth pint as bedtime snack. If you can't take enough milk. supplement your diet with an op- timal daily ration of vitamin B com- plex in capsule or liquid form.
 Why Look Vile?
 I am anxious to gain some weight before it gets warm enough to go swimming, since I look vile in g. bathing suit. My aunt told me you recommend powdered egg yolk in booklet that tells how to gain weight. (F. H.
 Answer-PoSture and muscle tone have considerable to do with per- sonal appearance, too. Yes, I rec ommend use of about three ounces of egg yolk powder daily, if you can find it in the stores or markets. Three tablespoonfuls of 1t taken stirred in milk favored with little vanilla and sugar, perhaps, twice daily, preferably mid-forenoon and mid afternoon. Ordinary dried powdered whole egg is nearly if not quite as good as dried egg yolk powder, for the purpose.

(Gilean Douglas in Trails-Reprinted in
 The Christian Science Monitor The moon will be low above the lake when am
 home, Low and shining. While from my fields will come the night scent of
 the loam And the twining Of the wind among my fruit trees will be heard Like sudden laughter With the sleepy twitter of hidden bird Coming after. My heart knows all these sounds like familiar
 singing, Low and tender: Already have forgotten the street dust singing Of the arrogant towers, or the city wearing Her tinsel stuff. I shall soon be home and that is all I'm caring; It is enough

Socialized Medicine A "Disaster"

Socialized medicine would mean greater security for doctors Therefore, the medl- cal profession, in opposing socialization, is not grinding the ax of personal gain. This is hard for medical critics who think com- fort is the millennium, to understand.
 Doctors oppose government domination of medicine for two reasons: First, be- cause it would lower medical standards and bring about inferior medical service to the people. Second, because, as Amerl- can citizens with background of free dom and individualiSm they have no alternative but to oppose any measure which they feel is threat to American institutions and Constitutional govern ment. Socialized medicine, like social ization of industry, would hasten the end of freedom in this nation.
 The doctors have been accused of self ishnesS and blind conservatism in their battle against government medicine. Ii they were selfish they would not be kill ing themselves trying to maintain the health of the nation during the present crisis. They are far from blind conServa- tiveS, because more than anyone else, they come into contact with misfortune and death. They are working constantly to broaden and improve medical care. Some measure of their success is indicated by the fact that the span of life in the last century-and-a-half has been increased from 35 to 62 years-almoSt doubled.
 The attitude of physicians on the issue of Socialized medicine has been well de- scribed by Rear Admiral Ross T. Mc1n- tire, the Presidents personal physician. Ut is my hope" he said, "that we shall never see medicine subsidized by the gov ernment. I hope that the time never comes when the practice of medicine or anything that has to do with it comes under government control. It would be a disaster to this country. ..."
