Poor Recommendation

Reviewing the American economic po- lcies in the 1930S, R. c. Leffingwen writes in the Yale Review: Restrictions on the hours and days of labor, and on output, and restrictions on farm pro- duction, were part of a planned economy of permanent depression and artificial shortages. We were producing more food than world markets would take, and our government paid marginal farmers to stay in the farm business instead of turning to something else; and paid them not to produce so much, blow un- der crops and kill little pigs. The busi- ness of not raising hogs was highly flourishing industry says the Statist. The planners seemed to have lost faith in America. They sought to benefit or ganized labor and farmers at the expense of the general public. They could not see that either farmers or laborers could prosper long in an impoverished community. They could not believe in the economy of abundance and were con- cerned more with changing each mans share of poverty than with sharing wealth." ~r~r
 Commenting on the foregoing, the New York Times says, it lis harsh but basic ally true judgment of our planned eco nony' of the '30s Is there any reason to suppose, political pressures being what they are, that government planned eco- nomy in the postwar period would be any better? The history of planning in the '30s presents today one of the strongest possible arguments for genuinely free enterprise system"

Harvard University has announced a drastic change in their education system after the war This is reported to be one of the most significant changes since the elective system was introduced there sixty years ago by President Charles W. Eliot. The proposed change places more emphasis on general education, and re- vision of the present tutorial system of long standing. A main curriculum would be planned, built around English, science, mathematics and the social sciences. High school and college education would be improved accord ing to the rults set forth in a 267- page volume, General Education in Free Society" The document is conceded to be an important one dealing with col lege education.

that since their word order differs from the English, the initials don't come out UNO in Spanish, anyway. The League of Nations may not have been bowling success, but at least nobody ever called it LON. That, however, was in the dear, dead days. Today we don't have time to stop and speak the full title of even so fatefully important council as the Unit ed Nations Organization.
 So UNO it probably will be. We don't intend to fight the trend. In fact, there will probably come day when space and time are both short, and UNO will appear in these columns Just the same, though, we don't have to like it.

MISS HARRIsoN's FINE WORK
(Hartford Courant)

What has already proved to pc a substantial contribution to wom- ems club work in Connecticut has been made by Miss Florence Har- rison through the Beatrice Fox Auerbach Foundation. Previously professor at Connecticut College for Women and a field worker for the League of Women Voters, Miss Harrison has sought to coordinate, where common interests may be served, the work of these various women's clubs. She has succeeded in gaining the attention of leading women throughout the state, in- cluding Mrs. Raymond E. Baldwin and Mrs. Chase Going Woodhouse. and she has conducted seven nieet- ings in Sentinel Hill Hall with several hundred women in attend. ance at each.
 One of Miss Hayrison's most cons spicuous efforts was to have pre-. sented c thorough anaiysis of the pumbarton Oaks proposals 60 that the women attending her meetings could 90 back and enlighten their groups ct home. It must have grati. fled her when lb0 women from towns end cities ell over the state came to hear c panel discussion on the United Nations Charter, il- lumlnated with addresses by three women who wzfe observers co the San Francisco conference.

This is a feeble protest and minority report. It won't get anywhere because the craze for alphabetizatlon, born of the New Deal, has gone too far to be stopped now. So it's cinch that the new United Nations Organization Is going to be known as UNO. UNO, unlike WIPE and REC, can easily be pronounced as e word, or rather, two words. As such the let. ters have a suggestion of the shrugged shoulder and the raised eyebrow. Firth- efmore they'll be certain to give rise to some horrible puns.

Italy, was well received by the Senators. His own experience, they thought, was part of the same Army politics which resulted in Chennault's resignation. The Baker incident, however, was not discussed during the meeting.
 'CHENNAULT GOT
 BORED"-EAKER
 General Baker attempted to ex- plain that the war in China has reached new stage. The import ant thing now, he said, is not overland operations against the Jap armies and installations in China, but the stopping of food and raw-material shipments from the Chinese mainland to Japan.
 This is a job of l0gistics,"
 said Baker, "and it just wouldn't
 appeal to Chensiault."
 The Senators, however, refused to believe this. Chandler and Sem ator Tom Stewart of Tennessee were particularly vehement in forcing Patterson < and General Baker to admit that Chennault is as capable tactician as the Air Force has. Chandler had the two war chiefs squirming as he de- scribed the pitiful trickle of sup plies with which Chennault had to odperate until quite recently.
 Senator Joe O'Mahoney or Wyoming spoke at length on the question of Chinese politics. out lining the differences between the Chinese Communists" of the North and the Chiang Govern ment. Finally, he asked Patter- son if the real reason for placing Chennault in a suordinate posi- tion to General Stratemeyer was to appease the Communists. Chennault is known as one of the staunchest supporters of the Chiang Government and strongly against the Communists.
 Patterson, however, indignant

 THE CAUSE OF APPENDICITIS
 It is careless of me, perhaps, but I do not carry card or 8 tag on a cord around my waist to protect myself from an emergency opera ton In case I am found uncon- scious, that is, more so than or- dinarily. I am confident any doc- tor viewing my case will recogniz6 at once that I have already had my appendix removed or else q Caessarian section or an encounter with an angry bull.
 Before we get serious about ap~ pendicitis, folks, it seems only fair that I state my opinion concerning its management, and then you can do as you wish about it if or when it happens to you.
 I believe there is only one treat- ment for acute appendicitis, and that is immediate operation.
 The direct cause of acute appen- dicitis is of course infection. The notorious Streptococcus is found in the more serious or more darl- gerous cases, but the ordinarily harmless Bacillus coli (colon bacil- lus), 8 normal inhabitant of the intestine and probably concerned in good digestion, undergoes some change in character in the unna- tural environment of our ultrare- fined, namby- -pamby civilized" diets acquiring pathogemic (disease pro- ducing) properties and causing nearly three -fourths of all cases Of acute appendicitis. Then still a third bacterial strain, called Stra- phylococcus, is generally imphcat- ed especially in pus cases.
 Even the Dr. Jekyll-Mr. Hyde CO., lon bacillus invades the tissues, the wall of the appendix (not just the lumen or passageway) through the blood stream, just as the Stretpto- coccus, the Staphylococcus or the Pneumococcus does.
 Tn a good many cases the history of the attack of acute appeidlcitis is suggestive first the young per- son has one or more attacks Of acute tonsillitis or perhaps quinsy (abscesS around tonSiD or even an attack of rheumatic fever or just vague "sore throat" or acute sinus trouble, and presently develops acute appendicitis.

I hate to talk like this but after all we can't have safety if we refuse to recognize danger. The truth is that acute appendicitis is one of the hazards that may complicate or follow the cri (you know, .kree, any acute respiratory infection in the early hours or days of the illness before you or the doctor can tell just

recommendation. it would be pos- sible to retire Chennault at the rank and pay of major-his per manent rank.
 Chandler also proposed that the Military Affairs Committee meet the General at his plane when he arrives in Washington. This will probably be done. Chennault is sure to be questioned extensive ly by the Senators, but it Is un- likely that anything further will develop.
 STILWELL VS. CHENNAULT
 The Senators didn't go into it, but insiders who followed Gen. eral Chennault's meteoric career knew as soon as they saw Gen. Vinegar Joe Stilwen come back in the Pacific as successor to Gen. Simon Bolivar Buckner, that Chennault's time was up.
 Stilwell and Chennault had fought bitterly over the old Army question of air power vs. land power Stilwell wanted to finish the Ledo Road and bring in supplies to equip a land army. Chennault wanted to use what few supplies we had for air bombing. There were only a certain number of trained troops in China for use either to protect Chennault's air bases or to protect Stilwell's Ledo Road while under construction.
 StiIwell won out. The Ledo
 Road was built. And Chen
 nault's air bases, without troop
 protection, were nearly all talk
 en by the enemy. This caused
 political repercussions in China. 'Chiang Kai-shek protester. He.
 didn't like Stilwell anyway, and
 demanded that he be fired.
 So Roosevelt withdrew Stilwell.
 But now that Stilwell is back in the Pacific, it was inevitable that Chennault's goose was cooked. Added to this was the fact that the old-line Army brass hats never liked Chennault anyway. And the old-time clique in the Army always win out in the end.

QUESTIONS and ANSWERS
 Saccharin

Because of the sugar shortage we have been using saccharine instead of sugar. Some people tell us sac- charine will eventually cause ser- ious trouble, even cancer.
 (K. V. To
 Answer-The chemical substance used to give a sweet taste like the taste of sugar is called saccharin. The word saccharine is an adjective meaning sugary. sickeningly sweet. such as a saccharine smile or sane. charine poetry. In my opinion any, body may use II pto five grains of saccharin 6 day with 1mpunity. There is no ground for the fancy that it, may eventually injure health in any way. Ordinarily a quarter grain to one-half grain of saccharin in tea or coffee gives approximately the sweet taste of a teaspoonful or sugar.
 Bow Legs
 Will any tonic, exercise. massage or other treatment correct bow legs? (G. R)
 Answer-Only orthopedic surgery (on the bent bones) will correct bowlegs in a person over six years of age.
 Asthma and AIlergy
 I was under treatment for year for asthma and allergy. Then the doctor referred me to a specialist finally I wrote you, and fol- lowing suggestion in your pamph- lets I began taking calcium ana vitamin D and am happy to say my troubles are over. (H. RD
 Answer-Fine. but who knows whether the calcium and vitamin D or old c. o. Incidence brought relief? I do believe Go and D, eaten daily as a supplement to the diet. corrects the nutritional deficiency responsible for asthma, allergy' eczema, migraine, nervous" head. aches, recurring hives, hay fever. hyperesthetic rhinitis. perennial hay fever and surious sinusitis m many instances. It is not medicine. and it can do no harm to try ie in any case. Anything less than two or three months trial Is hardly worth while.

 den easily and successfully for years.
 The ranches in this southern part of Argentina cover thousands of acres and have been under Nazi management for generations. Be- cause of absolute German control, it would be impossible for any non-G German to penetrate the area to make a thorough investi- gation as to Hitler's whereabouts.
 Along the coast of Patagonia, many Germans own land which contain harbors deep enough for submarine landings. And if sub- marines could get to Argentina Uruguayan waters from Germany, as they definitely did, there is no reason why they could not go 8 little farther south to Patagonia. Also there is no reason why Hit Ter couldn't have been on one of them.
 NOTE: On December 1943, this column reported that 'Hitler's gang has been working to build up place of exile in Argentina in case of defeat. After the fall of Stalingrad and then Tunisia, they began to See defeat staring them in the face. That was their cue to move in on Argentina" The same column also cited chap ter and verse regarding German trained officials who ruled the new Argentina dictatorship. At San Francisco, Nelson Rockefeller and Jimmy Dunn insisted that the U. s. A. recognize Argentina.
 NOTE 2-If 1t ever comes to identifying Hitler, Dr. Robert Kempner, former German police official now living in Lansdowne, Pa, has the answers. Kempner, who was in charge of the investi- gation after Hitler's Beer Hall Putsch, says that Hitler's thumb is abnorma1ly long, his right ear pointed on top, and his mouth is very receding. Kempner has turned ovey his data to U. s. authori- ties.
 ARMY FOAk4xOS KILLED CHENNAULT
 Under Secretary of War Bob Patterson and Air Force Gen. Ira Baker were put on 8 very hot spot during their secret session with the Senate Military Affairs Con- mittee. Not a senator present was willing to believe that the resignation of Maj. Gen. Claire Chennault was caused by anything but Army politics.
 Patterson tried to explain the selection of Lieut.. Gen. George Stratemeyer as supreme air chief in China on the basis of his sent- ority in rank over Chennault.
 sThat was known when Strate-. meyer was sent out there," shot back the hard-working Senator Happy Chandler of Kentucky, who spent several weeks watching Chennault's operation in the win ter of l943.
 Aside from that explanation, Patterson insisted that Strate- meyers appointment over Chem nault was strictly 8 decision on the part of Gen. Albert Wede- meyer, theater commander.
 Senator Allen Ellender of Lou isiana, not Q member of the Com. mittee but sponsor of a resolution calling for senatorial investigation of the incident. was at the secret committee session and questioned Patterson and Baker about Chem naults military prowess. War De- partment officials did not attempt to argue about the ability of the former Flying Tiger.
