INSTRUCTIONS TO GERMANY

A few weeks ego the news out Of the American
occupation zone in Germany was Of stumbling and
cross purposes which odded up to bad local govern
nent in numerous cities It is significant thouqh not
surprising, thot few such stories have been heard,
since General Eisenhower took up his new duties
General Ike seems to have approached the lob
with his usual Vgor and straight thinking This is
evident in his instructions to residents of the Amer
icon zone which clarified the beginning Of German
life under the provisions of the Potsdon Conference
He made no bones of the foct thot the Germans
will be cold ond hungry this winter And he made
it clear thot while life would be pretty grim, any
whining by the detected enemy would be not onIy
trutless, but tire-wostne. In short, General Ike
'lod it on the line
So now the Germans under American control
know what in store and what they can do about it.
II they behave deoentIy they won't be noIested But
neither will they be helped Their fate is of their
own devsing. and their salvation is in their own
hands.
So they ore now to get to work and harvest their
crops. put their wrecked houses in vobIe condition.

. BEHIND THE SCENES
M WASHINGTON .

filed an informer suit to collect
from a group of contractors who
had defrauded the government
through collusive bidding on a
PWA job. This lawyer had no
direct link to the case. He SIM
ply took information from a
criminal indictment previously
filed by government attorneys
and attempted to cash in on the
old Civil War law.
The case finally went to the
Supreme Court which, in l943,
upheld his right to his gravy.
To date, he has collected $780,
600, or half of the $3.50, 900 re-
covered from a $4,000 judg-
ment against 40 contractors.
TROUBLE FOR THE CLAIMS
DIVISION
The case put the Claims Divi-
sion of the Department of JUS
tice in hot water up to its eye
brows. Using newspaper clip
pings, factory rumors or scraps
of information picked up from
reports of Congressional inves.
legations into wasteful practises
of war contractors, sharpers
from all over rushed into court
to file claims on fraud money.
For time US. attorneys spent
more effort fighting off these in
ormer suits than they did in
prosecuting their own war fraud
claims. Late in 1943, Congress
had to change the law.
Today, private claims for war
fraud money based on informa-
ton collected by the FBI or 9th.
er government agencies are out
lawed. And whenever a real in
former files a suit, the govern
ment has so days in which to
take over prosecution. In suit
begun by an informer and taken
over by the government, the
maximum which the informer
can collect is 10 per cent of the
amount recovered. In a suit
which the government doesn't
take action and the informer
carries through his own prose-
cution, the most he can collect
is Is per cent of the sum recov-
cred. It's still a nice piece of
business for any informer who
can crash in on il.

HOME NURSE
BY Iona l.. TROTT
Written for NEA Service

PROMISCUOUS dosing with
miscellaneous drugs regardless
of the cause of a headache has
dangerous possibilities. The home
nurse must keep in mind that
headache is symptom, not a
disease in itself. 1t Is only Ma
tuer's way of telling the suffer-
er that something is wrong that
needs attention.
Headache may be a symptom
of nothing more serious than
lack of sleep, lack of fresh air
or eye strain caused by bad
lighting. 1t may be a symptom
of constipation, indigestion or
infection. 1t is a forerunner CT
many different types of illness;
therefore, 1t should never be
treated lightly.
You may say, ooh, I can't call
the doctor every time a member
Of my family has a headache"
No, but before resorting to re-
peated doses of drugs you can
try a few simple home nursing
procedures, such as giving q cup
Of hot water or weak tea and
putting the sufferer to bed in
a quiet room for a few hours.
IMPROVE HYGIENE
A cold compress on the eyes
or forehead, or an icebag or a
hot water bottle at the back of
the neck may be helpful if the
headache Is Of nervous origin.
II 1t is associated with indiRes-
ton, nausea, or overeating, give
two or three glasses of warm
salt water. This will probably
make the patient vomit, but lie
will feel better after having
emptied his stomach.
II 4 member of your family
complains of headache frequent
ly, try to see that he gets longer
hours Of sleep and rest. Urge
him to eat more fruits and vegc-
tables and less pastry, sweets
and heavy foods. Advise him
to eat more slowly, to drink
more water, to take more ex-
ercise in the open air.
II the headache persists re-
gardless Of improved hygiene, q
physician should be consulted.
Under no circumstances try 20
treat yourself or family with
medicines, the effect of which
may be more harmful than the
headache.

NEA wsshingtsn Correspondent
WASHINGTON When your
Uncle Sans government gets
defrauded by crooked war con-
tractors, he has q tough time
getting his money back.
Recovery of $8,78O,OO0 In war
frauds false claims suits decided
in the past year has just been
announced by the Department
of Justice. That isn't much,
when compared to the seven bill
lion dollars recovered by direct
renegotiation of war contracts.
It's only, roughly, one dollar out
of every % thousand dollars in
the ESQ billion dollar cost of
the war.
But $8,780,000 isn't to be
sneezed at either, and it's just a
start. It represents the kick
back on only the first 80 cases,
making the average case recov-
cry a little under 100000. OF
these 80 cases, "a were settled
without US. attorneys having
to- 60 to court, SO conclusive was
the evidence of fraud.
Seventy-five additional cases
are now pending in court and
200 more are under investiga-
ton, some of which will 60 to
trial and some won't. Actions of
this kind will be going through
the courts for three years or
more after the end of HOSTILE
ties, however, SO it's entirely
possible that the War Frauds
civil section in the Department.
of Justice Claims Division now
operating under Joseph M.
Friedman will eventually get
back the equivalent cost of
battleship with maybe couple
of destroyers to boot.
FALSE CLAIMS STATUTE
BASIS OF ACTION
How the Department of JUS
tice has had to 60 about recov.
ering this money makes better
reading than the stories of the
frauds themselves. Basic legis-
lation for this kind Of actio "A
was the False Claims Statute
enacted during the Civil War.
In those days patriotic Yankee
contractors didn't hesitate to sell
the Northern Army bullets
stuffed with sawdust, maggoty
beef, weevily flour, shoddy wool
and to charge all the traffic
would bear. The scandals of
those days beat anything dug up
by the Truman and Mead COM
mittees in this war;"
To correct the Civil War
frauds, Congress passed a com.
plicated law which provided for
court-martial of defrauders in
the Army, fine or Imprisonment
for civilian defrauders and civil
action to permit the government
to recover damages. In addition,
any private individual might
bring suit in the name of u. S.
government to get half of the
money recovered.
lnformer suits were not much
used, however, until 1910 when

of the bridge books published
during Liggetts day were ghost
written by him.
After receiving his medical
discharge from the Navy, he de-
voted most Of his time to bridge
and he was known as being .
specialist in no trump.
However, I will never forget
today's hand. Liggett was one
of the few man who ever made
a contract of seven spades when
his opponents held the ace Of
trump.
You will notice there was not
much approach bidding in those
days, but Liggett reasoned that
If his partner could Jump to six
spades, he must have that miss
ing ace, 80 he went to seven
oPducS.
He won the opening lead with
the ace of clubs. Most players
would simply spread the hand
and concede down one. But Lig.
gett played . small spade from
dummy, put on the ten spot. and
West played the eight of clubs.
Liggett said nothing and East
failed to ask his partner If he
had no spades.
Liggett now led the kind of
spades. on which West played
the ace. OF course West had re-
voked and that gave the declar-
err the right to two tricks. West
only took one 50 he had to give
that trick back to Liggett and
thus seven odd was made
against the ace Of trumps.

done, but it demands intelligent

He loves our new home, and
so do I. It's by very first, the
first time I've ever lived any

My husband takes great pride
in our home, but he Is worrier.
Even when there's nothing to
worry about, he worries because
everything is running smoothly.

NO EARTHLY PARADISE

:NOn Aug g. l945 there occurred, for the first time
in History an Instantaneous revolution OF human
thouoht One bomb dropped on one japanese city.
and the whole future changed The minds Of thought
full men were confronted by both blank wall and q
new. Iimtiess horizon suddenly disclosed.
There followed an epidemic Of speculation. It
wos not the Ieisurey contemplation Of future based
on established foct but urgent bewlIdered CROP
ina What was probably the prePonderont question
was stoted thus by the science writer, DR.. Frank
Thone:
will atomic power bring on earthly paradise
otter it hos swiftly finished IFS present ob:of raising
concentrated help
Even beginning of the authentic answer will
come from the mere handful Of earth who
have understood and hornessed for human use q
little of that oqeIess Iirtess universal force which
bottles the ordinary mind than it dis
turbs it, The next will come from those non-scien-
tfc men into whose control the use Of this force
will poss.
Dr.. Thone being better informed than most Of
US, has avoided any attempt at answer and has,
insteod put few pertinent questions which the
answer must rest:
How much potential danger lies even in the wise
and peaceful use Of atomic power2 What will atomic
power do to present world economics Will an obund-
ant source Of such power be found which will render
cooI oil end voter power obsoete2 Or will the new
powers development be prohibitiveIy expensve9
What Of the political consequences? Will there be
an international struggle for uranium Tor later
and more plentiful source of atomic power that will
surposs all other fights for natural resources?
Being more brosh and less wise than Dr. Thone
we ore going to hozord answer to his first and
general question, for it is the only to which post
history offers any key And the answer is: No.
No scientific discovery has ever produced any,
thing resembling an eorthy PARADISE
Such men as Copernicus, Goleo Columbus New
ton and Darwin helped to define for US the world
we live in Todoy in spite Of their legacy Of scientific
wisdom. much Of the world lies broken under the
greatest war that ever roeed upon this planet
If the world works with enough wisdom and proys
with enough zeo perhaps the future will be different
But os Of today, the pro9noss is definitely not for
any earthly paradise.
