good-by.
My last visit was to nationally known
psychiatrist. was bold by that time. and
entered the Office, saying. ''Doctor, 1
have trouble getting up in the morning,
and realize you do too, but let's skip
your own story"
He laughed, and wasted no time in ex-
planning Alarm Clock Fever from PSYCHE
atric standpoint. I'VE lie abed in state of
conflict" he said. 1--WE are unable to get up
but feel guilty that we don't bound out of
bed. If we are given to morbid rumination,
we may begin to think that we are weak
willed, worthless or even imagine that
there is something physically wrong with US"
Remember toe" he added. there are
lot of really maladjusted persons, unhappy
in their jobs or personal lives; such people
naturally shrink from facing another day."
But getting back to the average sufferer.
like you and me, he suggested that setting
the alarm 10 minutes ahead of time would
be common sense. That would give us
luxurious assurance that we could loll for
while without guilty conscience.
How about putting the alarm clock
across the room?" asked. Then you'd
have to get up to shut it off,"
Il wouldn't advise it. imagine many
cases of getting up -on-the- wrong -side-of-
bed could be traced to hasty rising"
Ileft the psychiatrist with gratitude that
he hadn't lectured me on healthy habits and
hours. was also speculating on the singu-
lar status of the alarm clock - the only
item of merchandise that Americans will
pay good money for when they'd rather
heave it out the window.
Five Best Ones
In MY own test laboratory (my bedroom,
to be exact) have tried all the suggestions
mentioned in this article, plus many more.
Here are the five that consider best:
/. On going to bed, do not draw the
shades or curtains
2. Set the alarm 10 minutes early.
3. On waking, sip little fruit juice, or
anything sweet.
a. Yawn, stretch and hold breath.
5. Think how good breakfast will taste!
My job is now done, and hope my find
ings will be of help to my countless fellow
somniacs Il suppose somniac is the opposite
of insomniac). There is no estimate of our
number, but it probably would be safe

clench the fists, wriggle the toes. Another
good rule is: Don't draw the curtains in your
room before going to bed. Morning light
falling ON the eyelids gradually stimu-

the brains blood supply"
How about a wake-up cigarette?"
asked.
She gave me whitening look. why not
a cocktail too?' she snapped. "As matter
of fact. apart rom mere common sense,
there's good entific reason for not smok-

COMPETITION IN NEWS

Representative Mason has introduced q bill to undo the unfortunate consequences ot the Supreme Courts opinion last spring in the Associated Press case It has been naccurately described bill to exempt cooperative news gathering agencies from op eratings of the Sherman Antitrust Act Actually its scope is much narrower than that MT Mason proposes only that "the ordinary and usual operations and activities of mutual newsgathering cooperatives shall not be considered be in restraint of or to monopo- lize, any part of trade or commerce"
 We should have no sympathy with attempt to give the Associated Press any other big enterprise blanket immunity from the antitrust laws If the AP nduges in monopolstc practices attempts to crush it's competitors by boycotts or other unfair methods it should be convicted and penaized readily as any other large enterprise The difficulty with the courts decision in our opinion is that it cracked down on the AP in the absence of any wrongdoing under the Sherman Act
 The AP was not accused of setting up monopoly, That would have been ridiculous because it is in con- stant competition with many other ws-gathering agencies Nor was found have coerced it's member newspapers They entirely free to purchase other news services There was nothing to suggest any exclusion of other agencies from the gathering of news from it's free transmission. The only offense for which the AP was brought under control of the court was its refusal in some cases to open it's mem bership to direct competitors of existing members.
 We doubt very much that Congress ever intended the Sherman Act to force cooperative organizations to sell their product to everyone asking for 1t to compel them to take in every member knocking at their doors If any such policy is to be established should be by of Congress and not by decisions of the courts. Consequently we hope that Congress will take this issue and act to preserve competition the gathering of For if the courts interprea tion of the law should be allowed to stand, it would

gress-and usually deserves that reputation. But the other day when a group of ladies called on Chairman Adolf Sabath of Illinois to urge passage of the UNRRA Appropriation Bill he courteously ushered them into his Rules Com mittee
 And while such labor-baiters as Howard Smith of Virginia and Eugene Cox of Georgia listened at tentively, Mrs. Dana Bachus, Vice. { Chairman of the Women'S Action ! Committee for Lasting Peace, argued that we were reneging on our pledged word if Congress did not pass the UNRRA appropriation ! immediately.
 Later, one of the group, Mrs. Edgar Ansel Mowrer, wife of the well known news commentator, sought out Congressman Cox in the privacy of his office Cox is considered one of the toughest and most reactionary members of the Rules Committee, but to Mrs. Mowrer he was the height of Southern cordiality.
 My dear, come right in at once, said the gentleman from Georgia.
 Cox listened carefully, but told Mrs Mowrer that he was suspicious of Russia. The UNRRA Relief Bill he feared, was playing right into Russian hands.
 But" said Mrs. Mowrer, "are we going to let the Russians say that the capitalist nations make a lot of promises and then turn round and don't carry them out?'
 Then she tried a new tack.
 You know, Congressman" said Mrs. Mowrer who has travelled all over the world, you remind me very much of Stalin as I onct saw him working in the Kremlin He's a tough cookie, and you art too"
 The Congressman from Georgis seemed to like this comparison, bu1 he didn't budge regarding tht UNRRA appropriation.
