RumI Offers Peace Plans

New York, Dec. l. (UP) = Beardsley Ruml, chairman of R. H. Macy & Co.,, Inc, warned today that "there could be an atomic war within five years" if international tensions are not reduced.
 Ruml, father of the You Go Income Tax plan and chairman of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. made his statement in an otherwise -the-record press conference preceding delivery of 8 prepared speech before the 32nd National Foreign Trade convention.
 In his prepared speech, Ruml called for a triple e-decker" peace program - long, intermediate and short. The first would be directed toward establishment of world gov ernment, the second toward SUD- port of the United Nations organi- zation, and the last toward use of diplomacy, public and private, for reduction of international tensions.
 It would be the third program on which the avoidance of an atomic war would be founded, Ruml indi- cated in his conference.
 Ruml warned the convention that there is no military defense against the atomic bomb, nor do scientists expect one to be developed. He said there is no secret of the bomb we can lock up in perpetuity."
 Let us be honest with ourselves, we have no long-term monopoly of the bomb" the department store executive said. All we have is a little time"
 Discussing his long-term pro- gram, Ruml said he was optimistic enough to think that, with success in the intermediate and short-term period, we have a margin of 20 years in which to work"
 He said that a successful short- term program is indispensable if the world is to have the political climate in which the other two can thrive and become strong.

Uncle Ruy's Corner

Here is a story which has been
told about certain fierce little fish
found in some South American
rivers.
"One day white man and an
Indian came to the edge of stream
in the Amazon Valley. The white
man said that he would like to take
a swim, but the Indian warned him
against doing so.
The white man asked the rea-
son. The Indian pointed to some
small fish, and said they were dan
gerous. But those little things
could never hurt mel replied the
white man.
I'm few moments he stepped
into the water. The fish gathered
around him, and touched his skin.
At first he had a feeling of being
tickled, and doubled up with laugh
ter. Then he began to feel sharp
pains here and there. AS quickly as
possible, he stood up and, with q
helping hand from the Indian, got
out of the water"
That is one of the adventures re-
lated about the fish known as Carl
bes" or "piranhas" The ending Is
all right, since the man saved his
life, but if he had not been able to
reach the bank in a hurry, he
might have been killed.
Caribes are fresh-water fish. They
are found in many parts of the
Amazon Valley, and are feared by
the natives.
Caribes are usually from 6 to u
inches long. They are armed with
sharp teeth, and seem to be afraid
OF neither man or beast.
Cases are on record of good-sized
animals which have been caught In
the water by swarns of caribes, and
have been attacked or killed. In
half an hour, or less, these animals
have been picked to the bone"
It is believed that the smell Of
blood passes through the water and
reaches the caribes. If one or two
fish attack a victim, there soon will
oe whole swarm around him.
The streams of Venezuela have
some of these fish. A Venezuelan
friend of mine told me that people
of his country were fearful of let
ting livestock swim across rivers
lest they be attacked by caribes
along the way.
Among other dangerous fresh
water fish are the tiger fish of the
Nile River. These fish grow to
length of 4 feet. The Arabs call
them by name meaning dogs of
the water"
