Mother Goose Is Accepted After Ex-Mayor's Opinions
 Are Rejected

NEW YORK (FP) -Because New York newspapers refused to run ads featuring column by Flo rello H. LaCuardia in which he laced into the fascist press, the former mayor of New York filled his March IA column with Mother Goose rhymes.
 Explaining why he had to resort to quotes. from Little Bo-Peep, Sing Song of Sixpense and other nurs- cry favoriteS, LaGuardia wrote Since Jan. 1, 1946, the Herald Fri bune has refused three articles; the New York Times one, last weeks The Daily News refused article criti- cizing their editorials. The Hearst pa pers have refused to take any
 Don't Blame Me-
 We must have an tricle this week and I would like to see it published in these great newspapers 1 hope nc fault will be found with it. I hope it will pass inspection If you don't like 1t, don't blame me- Perhaps the great newspapers will like it.
 The New York Times ran the ad and a statement explaining ii had rejected the previous one be, cause of its ''libelOus" contents. LaCuardia's March 7 ad charac- terized New York Daily News edi- torial against the UNO as ''moronic vile :. and pure rot"
 Only other papers in which the Mother Goose ad appeared were the New York Post and Bronx Home News. La Guardia's sponsor, the Sachs Quality Stores, was uncon- cerned about the cold shoulder its col umnist was getting from the press. Reader response to the ad series, planned to run for two years as a goodwill gesture, was excellent, a Sachs spokesman said, and comment was "95@o favorable"

Salute Prints Story On Fight By Doctor Betty
Tells How Miners Struggled For And Won Sanitary
 Living Conditions

WASHINGTON (LPA) Holly wood is missing bet if 1t doesn't snatch up the story of Doctor Betty" as told in the first issue of Salute, the civilian prototype of Yank magazine, which appeared on the stands last week.
 Like How Green Was My Valley" the story of Doctor Betty and her successful battle with entrenched in terests in the mining town of Force, Pa, is a saga of what happens to company town when the miners get together under proper leadership and drag themselves by main strength out of the bog in which their feudal bosses have kept them. Dr. Elizabeth Hayes stayed on in Force in spite of company efforts to oust her and bring i'll, as company doctor, an osteopath who wasn't even licensed to practice i'll Pennsylvania. The miners backed her Up, and went on strike to force the company's hand
 My kids were brought up on urine" says one of the workers, point ing out the fact that the wells in the company-owned town were dug just beneath the outdoor privies. The story tells of Doctor Betty's 1ong-drawn- out fight, a second installment of her doctor fathers before her, to bring decent water and proper plumbing into the valley of some 4,00O souls.
 Her efforts to have the muddy, gut tered streets paved even with waste slag, so that the children would not have to play in castof garbage; her challenging warning to the company that their selfish disinterest was threatening the town with an epi- demic; her final appearance in court to present the facts before an unpreju- diced tribunal, are all graphically shown in the tersely written story by Bill Davidson, and notably illustrated

Peger Bridgeport Papers Face $2OOO OOO Libel Actor
Liberal Employer
 Denies Red Label

The Bridgeport Post and Tele- gram and Westbrook Pegler have been made defendants in $200,- 900 libel suit brought by A. N, Spanel, liberal industrialist and president of International Latax Corp. of Dover, Del, and New York City.
 Spanel is suing on ground that Pegler S'wrOngfully and malicious ly accused'' him and his firm of being managed by or under the control of Communists"
 The suit will be filed in Bridge port Superior Court this week. Pre- liminary action was taken Saturday when Deputy Sheriff Paul Schwartz of Stamford attached Pegler's $50, 900 home in nearby ,Ridgeheld and filed a writ of attachment notice oi the pending suit and the papers in the action in the office of Town Clerk George Scott of Ridgeheld.
 I8 Pages of Charges
 The action was drawn by the potent Stamford law firm of Cummings and Lockwood of which former, Attorney General Homer Cummings was the senior partner until his appointment to the Roosevelt Cabinet. Spaners charges take up IS pages.
 SpaneI charges that Pegler and the Post and Telegram used his name and that of his company S'tO trick or deceive the U.S.A. and its people" into believing them a tool of Communists sswhO are persons who seek unlawfully by force and violence, trickery, subterfuge and subversiveness to overthrow the Government" of the LISA.
 Spanel picked the Post and Tele- gram as joint defendants with Peg Ter because the newspapers are pub ished in Fairfield County, which Peg Ter claims as his legal residence, all though he has not lived here for more than year. George Waldo, co-edi- tori of the papers, and Pegler are close friends.
 Second Suit
 This is the second libel suit that the Post has on its hands. Several months ago Robert C.. Flack, socialite attorney living in nearby town of Fair field, sued Harold Gray, author of the Orphan Annie comic strip, and the Post for $10OO0. Flack, former chair man of OPA board in Fairfield, charges that Gray depicted him as a crooked and venal ration board head in his comic strip under the thinly dis guised name of Fred Flask.

RETURNING
TO CAPITAL TODAY
Bx WOODROW PRICE

RALEIGH, Jan. 12.-P)-Senato1
Josiah w. Bailey, who has been In
Raleigh for nearly two and hall
months recuperating from a series
of illness, will return to Washing
ton tomorrow with the expressed
intention OF helping President Tru-
man in the administrations fight
to hold the line against the threat
Of imitation.
1.-THE situation now is crucial for
President Truman and the Demo
cratic administration" North Caro-
lina's Senior Senator, a veteran Of
IS years in the upper body of Con.
gress, said. Truman has tough
job before him. The pressure or
him to raise prices and raise wag.
es is great. He faces a crucial prob.
lem in trying to meet the demands
Of the American people and at the
same time prevent inf1ation.'
Bailey indicated that he would
work for Congressional approval al
Truman's request that his emer-
gency powers be continued, al
though he foresaw a popular de-
mand for defeat of the request.
II feel" the Senator said, that
the situation will continue to be
critical at least through this year. -
He hoped, however, that the pres
sure would ease by next January 1.
Senator Bailey, who supported
Roosevelt's hold-the-line policies,
pointed out that while some in
equities should be ironed out in
such matters as price controls and
wage situations, Imitation must be
prevented at all costs.''
He and Mrs. Bailey have made
reservations for the trip to Wash
ington by rail. They plan to resume
living in their home on Massachu-
sets avenue in the nations capital.
In an interview, he said that
since he has been in Raleigh he
has received many demands from
service men and their relatives
that rehabilitation processes be
speeded up. He said that he had re-
commended speedier release in a
number of individual cases. but that
in general he believed demobiliza-
ton was proceeding as rapidly as
it could with safety.
1--WE must first of all see to /,
that the Japs and the Germans
have no chance to prepare for an.
other war;" he said.
The Senator visualized some
form Of compulsory military serv.
ice for the nations youth as Tin
evitable in view Of the role W.
have elected to play in world at
fairs"
On the eve Of his return to Wash
ington, Bailey said it was at pres
ent his disposition not to favor tn,
proposed four billion dollar loan t,
Britain, but Indicated he had no
fully decided whether he would sup
port or oppose the measure.
