horizon was so hatefully. so omi,
nously important.
When Hitler marched into Pc.
land, Stephen was in Paris, but
scheduled to sail for the United
States in a few days. He tried I'M
successfully to persuade his mother
TO return with him.
IL have nothing to return to,
eh<Ti," she said "but you must go.
Eventually, your country will need
you"
That was the last time Stephen
had seen her. His memory of her,
standing at the tall, arched window
in her drawing room, would remain
with him forever. This time, Ste
phen, hope you will try to see your
father. :" Shed always wanted
to make his fathers character clear
to him, but her efforts hadn't been
successful.
Well, he was living with his
father now and his once harsh esti-
mate Of his parent was tinged with
pity, with the terrifying compassion
that the young feel for the old.
His thoughts were not pleasant,
and he was relieved to see Gail COM

couple of rather dirty children.

mother of these youngsters a

"Has varicose veins and it's pretty
tough for her to get around to earn
what little money she does"
"Do you worry about all your pa
TENTS finances?" he asked.
81 can't seem to help it." She
smiled ruefully. "My colleagues at
the hospital rag me about it. They
say all women doctors are busy
bodies and interfere too much with
their patients lives. But I believe
that you can't dissociate a patients
illness from his background"
They were driving along the
River Basin Drive now, which was
almost deserted.
"There's pine grove near here"
Gail said, ION the bluff overlooking
the river. You can climb down the
rocks to the water to swim. /
thought we might have our picnic
there"
They parked the car presently
and found a secluded spot for the
picnic. They changed into bathing
suits and went down to the river
bank. Gail was a fearful swimmer,
but she acquired a sense of conf
dence simply from watching Steve.
Despite his injured right shoulder
and arm, he swan beautifully.
Afterwards, they climbed back 10
their nest and summed themselves.
Stephen said, "a perfect, peaceful
day like this, makes one feel guilty

destruction in the world"

on the checked blanket. The SUM-

"I'm sure of it," he said. ~

Your Health
First Aid Defined
as Immediate Help
in Emergencies

First Aid Defined
as Immediate Help
in Emergencies
By HERMAN NJ. BUNDEsEN. NJ. D
FIRST aid means the giving Of
immediate treatment TO someone
who has suffered an accident, or is
suddenly i'll. II is emergency treat
ment, and is usually carried out by
someone other than a doctor.
II is important that first aid be
properly given so that it may be
as beneficial as possible without
further aggravating the disorder
that is present
Chief Dangers
One Of the chief dangers in acct
dents is the development of shock
or collapse. In treating shock, it is
important to keep the patient
warm, with sufficient covering, the
use Of hot water bottles if they
are available, and a warm drink.
The next thing TO think about is
getting the patient TO a hospital
as quickly as possible.
=. Hence, a well-instructed First
alder" will have someone send for
an ambulance Immediately, so that
he will not be placed in the embar-
RAISING position of waiting around
with the patient, after all first-aid
treatment is given, until an am
bulanee can arrive to take the pa
tent to a hospital.
Broken Bones
In the case of broken bones, the
outstanding necessity is that the
patient must not be moved until
the affected part Of the body has
been firmly fixed, so that move
ment will not cause the ends Of the
bone to protrude through the skin
or be further injured. The pres
ence Of a broken bone can usually
be determined by the presence Of
pain, loss Of muscle power, SWELL
ing, and tenderness. The method
used TO fix the bones to prevent
movement will depend on where
the broken bones are located. How
ever, splints can be made Of rolled
newspapers or some piece of wood
that may be handy.
In first-aid treatment Of severe
burns, little need be done except to
make the patient as comfortable as
possible and then to remove him
speedily to a hospital. If there is
to be any great delay in getting the
patient to hospital, some antisep-
tic, perhaps, may be applied with
out any attempt being made to
clean the burned area first.
Stop Bleeding
In the case of wounds, OF course,
the first object is to stop the bleed
ing. This may be accomplished by
direct pressure on the wound with
pad Of gauze and bandage. II this
does not suffice, tourniquet may
be applied. 1t is made up of piece
Of rubber tubing or some other ma
terial which can be wrapped
around an arm or leg above the
wound and then twisted until it is
tight enough to check the flow of
blood. However, a tourniquet can
be left in place only for q short
period of time. Obviously. cutting
off the flow Of blood too long may
serve to produce permanent dam
age to the tissues leading to the
development of gangrene or death
of the tissues.

BY PAUL MALLON

WASHINGTON. - Henry Morgen-
thau's side Of his resignation story
told how he had become irritated
by constantly recurring rumors OF
his impending departure. that these
were interfering with his work, so
he went to President Truman and
said he would not stay unless he re-
ceived backing.
Mr.. Truman offered to deny the
rumors. Mr.. Morgenthau thought
the denial should promise his con-
tinuance in Office "at least until ia
pan is defeated" The President
seemed to feel this would commit
him too far. Mr.. Morgenthau wrote
out his resignation, although he had
not planned doing SO.
The other side Of the story Inn
plies that many Of Mr.. Humans
highest placed associates were
worried about Mr.. Morgenthau
possibly succeeding 10 the presi-
dency, . position for which he
would be the flrst 10 concede his
unfitness by temperament, ex-
perience or ability.
Little note was taken Of the situa-
ton, but II anything had happened
to Mr.. Truman during the few days
interval after he accepted the resig-
nation Of State Secretary Stettinius,
and before he appointed James F.
Byrnes to that first cabinet post.
Morgenthsu would have been Presi-
dent, as next in line.
Now Messrs. Truman and Byrnes
are going to Berlin for the Big Three
conference (but not together. as a
precaution). Mr.. Morgenthau was
still clearly next in line-until his
squeezed resignation placed him in
a position where unquestionably he
would have to decline the Office.
This situation may not have wor-
ried Mr.. Truman. but associates
working in his interests no doubt
were the authors Of what Mr.. Nor
genthau thought TO be Irritating ru-
mors."
Around the top of this admins
tration Mr.. Morgenthau had been
regarded as a man with good New
York banking connections, but ex-
pendable. Now he will continue al
the treasury until probably August
IS when his successor, Fred M. Vim
son, will take over.
As = matter Of full truth, Mr..
Morgenthau was slated 10 60 any
way when his Breton Woods
plan cleared congress and the
war loan drive wound up. There
was no logical excuse for him 10
continue 10 delay fulfiilment Of
the custom, permitting = Presi-
dent TO choose bis ewn cabinet
without the slightest embsrrass-
ment.
Indeed this column was able to
lead of, in newspapers last May "a:
"A complete cabinet shakedown is
coming. State and treasury will
surely be involved in addition to az
riculture, justice and labor"
Both angles Of that forecast now
have been fulfilled.

both sides of the story. Mr., Morgen-
thau's and the untold one that Mr..
