DON'T MIND THE CREAKs

DON'T MIND THE CREAKS
 Orange woman writes:
 Just finished reading the Bra-
 dy Baby Book-and to say I am
 indignant would be to put 1t
 mildly.
 Please tell me what year your
 book dates back to? For instance
 babies haven't been fed more fre-
 quently than every 4 hours for
 years-yet you recommend nurs-
 ing every 24 hours for the first
 month or two, except in the
 night Why, even hospitals would be shocked - unless the
 baby is an incubator baby,
 Where do you get your author
 ity to print such an exaggerated
 and untruthful pamphlet? And
 your description of specialists is
 criminal.
 Now that you have challenged my teaching in this public way, Ma'am, I suppose l must humble something by way of self defense.
 The Brady Baby Book dates back to 1913. But there have been a good many editions since then, and. be- lieve 1t or not, correspondents sometimes tell me they were raised on the Brady Baby Book and now they are raising their own kids by the same book.
 This, Ma'am, is not rebuttal, for you have given no evidence but merely your opinion. am merely explain- ing the creaks and rattles your hypersenittve ear detects as we drive along.
 Let's leave the specialists" out of this discussion. I do not abate one Jot or little what I say about real specialists and trick specialists In the Brady Baby Book-and peo- pie with enough sense to under. stand what I'm talking about will save most of the money the Wise acres and the Must Keep Up- With the-JoneseS squander on the latter variety.
 If newborn infant or an infant a month or two months old seems content with nursing or feeding at 3-hour or even 4-hour intervals that is the correct feeding sched- ule to follow provided, of course, that the baby shows gain of 2 ounces to one-half pound a week.
 For the baby's sake, Ma'am, don't mistake the machine system, the scientific inl1umanity of doctors and nurses" in the hospital, for the right care of treatment of mother or baby. As Dr. Harry Baldwin, as- sociate professor of pediatrics at New York University College of Medicine expressed 1t (Time, July 9. '45) ". .. the scientific inhu- manity of doctors and nurses Sept arating the baby from its mother at birth. instead of allowing 1t to be cuddled and breast is 6 bad beginning. The crime is compound ed when the baby is put on a clock ruled feeding schedule.
 Any reader who is in or expects to be in the baby business may have the latest edition of the Brady Baby Book if he or she will ask for it in writing and inclose ten cents and a stamped self-addressed en- velope.

May Serve As Spokesman
for New Labor Government

Current Biography" quotes
him as saying after his return to
England in 1920 that in Amer
lea he had seen more markedly
than had seen in Europe, the
significance of the struggle be-
tween capital and labor. l learn
ed how little meaning there can
be in an abstract political liber.
ty which is subdued to the con-
troll of a neconomic plutocracy.
'''' l came back from Amer
lea convinced that liberty has
no meaning save in the context
of equality. and l had begun to
understand that equality also
has no meaning unless the in
struments of production are So
cially owned"
CLASS TARGETS
One highly interesting point
in Laski's statement yesterday
was that the Labor Party alb
horred any system of govern
ment "in which a small class,
living by privilege, tries to ex-
plot, as in Spain it has exploit
ed for centuries, the mass of the
community" That seems to turn
thumbs down on the Franco
MISUNDERSTANDING which
this column previously suggest
ed was likely.
The first item of nationaliza-
ton, as outlined by Laski, is
governmental acquisition of the
ancient Bank of England-the
old lady of Threadneedle street.
1t already had been made known
that the bank was to be taken
over: but not when. Many peo-
pie in this country are surpris-
ed to learn that this isn't Gov
eminent Institution, but it never
has been in its $50 years of exis-
tence.
After that will come the ma
tionalization, in the order nam
ed, of the coal mines, transport,
and the iron and steel industries.
One suspects that 1t may be a
considerable time before all this
is achieved. despite the large
majority which the Labor Party
has in Commons. The indica-
tons are that the moderate sec
ton of the Labor Party is de-
termined to move carefully so
as not to cause an economic up
heaval.

Prof. Harold Laski, intellect
ual Socialist, who is chairman
Of the British Labor Party's Ma
tional Executive Committee, has
issued a strong statement of
governmental policy which gives
one TO wonder whether he him.
self doesn't represent an anoma-
lous figure in the new political
set-up.
Custom in the past has left
such announcements to the
Prime Minister, as leader of the
party and very definitely skip
per of the Ship of State. OF
course, the broad governmental
jolicies naturally spring from
the party, but the Prime Minis
ter has had the last word and
generally has acted as his own
spokesman in matters of mo-
ment.
It therefore sounds strange
to hear the law coming from

tiles of the Socialist Party and
is head of its policy making
body. To be sure, Prime Minis
ter Attlee is attending the Big
Three Conference at Potsdem
but a discussion of policy could
have awaited his return to Loa-
don.
LEFT WING ADHERENT
Now this column isn't trying
to convey the impression thai
Laski is the power behind the
new Prime Ministership, al
though some observers take that
view. Laski belongs to the left
wing of the Socialist Party, anG
there are many of the Laborites
who are far to the right OF him
and don't agree with all his
views. Still it's an interesting
deviation to see the Professor at
the outsetof the new regime act
ing as spokesman. Whether he
will continue in that role re-
mains to be seen.
Prof. Laski's text was that
this is the arrival of the people
in power" In this connection

of the Cardinal tenets of his
creed from observations which
he made in the United States

SEEKING LIVE LAPS
 JOB OF LOCAL CHAP

Taking Japs alive is one of the difficult and unpleasant duties in volved in the activities of Staff Sergeant James Lindquist of 81 Lincoln Terrace who is a specialist for the GIG detachment of the 33rd Infantry Division, according to word from that divisions head quarters on Luzon.
 The o b ct ve, of course, in bringing Japs back alive is to get information out of them and his headquarters office credit him with many successful exploits.
 With a companion he entered the liberated city of B a g guio hours ahead of infantry troops, his ob- ject being to find some Jap nili- tary police, considered brighter than the usual run of enemy troops, and bring them back alive.
 He found one in cave who had dropped his gun while trying to fire it. A hand-to-hand battle en- sued. Sergeant Lindquist knocked the Jap down injuring his hand in hitting him. He also suffered an injury to his other hand when the Jap bit him. Later he and his com- panion captured three other Jap military policemen.
 On another occasion Sergeant Lindquist was credited with lead ing and deploying a party which out-flanked Japs who were trying to capture Brigadier General Man uel Roxas, former aid to General Macarthur.
 He has had numerous other ex- periences according to the dis patch, including the use of an ex- pert flying tackle to bring down and capture a Jap who had leaped through a window to escape from house in which the Sergeant and his party were striving to take Japs alive.
 Staff Sergeant Lindquist has been in service since August, 1941 He was with the combat engineers for three years but was assigned to his present work about year ago. Although not inducted from Bloomfield he established his resi- dence here nearly two years ago His wife, Mrs. Frances Petschke Lindquist, is te h r in the Bloomfield schools.
