Displaced Americans
by Peter" EdSOn

the papers Many of the victims don't understand citizenship laws, their rights hereunder. Best estimates look like this:
 Albania-Only 200 so, hut Albania won't give them exit permits because the U. s. government hasn't recognized the Albanian government Greece-Thousands have been repatriated, but 20OO left Dual citizenship applies aud everyone has to have two passports, but they can be had and the Greek government is willing to send the Americans. home, They send back money which helps out the Greek economy
 Austria and 0ermany-Some 7,5O0 out of 10000 still there.
 CzechosloYaka-Maybe 50O maybe more.
 Romania Bulgaria, Hungary-No clear picture at
 Italy-Rome has backlog of 5000 applicants for repatriation. Appointments for interviews being booked a year ahead. Naples and Palermo have as many. Put the total at 10000 Norway-Only few hundred. and the last of these will be cleared in few months
 Poland-Has the biggest hacklOg with 10000 to be brought back
 Repatriation will take six or seven years. Amer jeans hooked up with the Polish underground, par ticlarly after Soviet Russia liberated the country are probably out of luck But in general the situation isn't too bad.
 Russia-Perhaps 2OOO mostly in Esthonia, Latvia, Lithuania, and Russian Poland The Soviet appar- enty considers treason for anyone to want to leave paradise, so the only way out is to escape.
 Yugoslavia-About 5000 though the U. s. bassy has records of only supposed to be in con- centration camps. The only way to get out is with the help of friends who employ them slave labor. then let them escape to the D. S. embassy Only seven are back in the U. S.
 To clean up this job, the State Department was given $l7500000 last year. This year the appropria- ton is $Sy000OO0. An estimated s5000O00 for next year should clean it up It costs from s225 to s4Oo to bring each dipslaced American back. How many thousands have died will die before they get out no one knows.

Your Health By WILLIAM BRADY, M. D.

Simple goitre is perhaps the most familiar manifestation of iodine de- ficiency. Among 12,631 Schoolboys, 2,6O3 had goitre; among 1S,64S schoolgirls, 5,236 had goitre, in one city in the Great Lakes region before the use of iodized salt in place of ordinary salt became popu- lar. Today school children in that city are no more frequently subject to goitre than school children any, where else.
 Some boys and girls in their early teens become penSive and even gloomy, nope and daydream when they should be gay and merry. This is not always a sign of incipient tu- berculosis or anything else 50 ser- ious-although the child certainly should have the benefit of careful medical examination or several ex- aminations to make sure about that. Frequently the chronic fatigue they show is due to iodine deficiency.
 Right here it may occur to some readers to ask what would be an embarrassing question-if my hide were not as thick as well as im- permeable. Don't ask-let me put my cards on the table. Tn the first place, should have qualified that last statement by adding one Of those old Brady sayings - in my opinion. Just between ourselves, folks, of course I don't know any more than the next doctor knows about 1t, but base my opinion or belief on the experience reported by the mother of the tired college girl Gin the Idin Ration phamplet, avail able on written request If you pro- vide stamped self-addressed enve- lope)-that si2teen-year-oid girls reanimation is typical of many.
 Iodine deficiency, bear in mind, if nutritional deficiency and the man. ifestations here mentioned consti- ute signs of malnutrition just al manifestations of vitamin A or vi- tamin B deficiency do. So please don't lose sight of the fact thai we are considering nutritional oi food iodine only, not medicinal io' dine. Incidentally, to the best of my knowledge 1t makes no difference what form of iodine one takes 1T any circumstance-elementary io' dine, tincture, colution, various io' aides, organize or inorganic iodine compounds, iodine from vegetable animal or mineral source-aS lonl as every man, woman or child get the minimum daily requirement which nutrition authorities estimate to be one-tenth of a milligram- equivalent to 1-650th of a grain That's a wee, wee nip of iodine, tx be sure, but after all, the minimum daily requirement. of thiamine (vi' tamin B-D is only a milligram- equivalent to 1-65th of a grain.
 The manifestations of iodine de ficiency, iodine is correct spelling but I spell 1t IODIN when wan to emphasize that 1t is nutritiona and not medicinaD in adults, asid from goitre, are practically indis tinguiShable from the signs ant symptoms of hypothyriodism ant myxedema. This condition-hypo thyroidism, deficient thyroid glan' function, is usually if not invariabl, due to iodine deficiency. We'll tall about this another day.

ANGLo-EGYPTTAN ACCORD?
Christian Science Monitor)

Private conversations between Britain's Foreign Minister and the Egyptian Premier appear to have produced at least a promising basis for conclusion of q new agreement between Britain and Egypt to take the place of the Anglo-Egyptian treaty of 1936. Premier Ismail Sidky Pasha expresses delight with the outcome of these talks, saying that he has accomplished more in six days than he had previously in six months.
 But his claim that Egypt will be permitted to exercise full sover- eighty almost immediately over the Sudan is denied in London. The British seem to feel they have an obligation to the Sudanese that would be violated unless they have time to consult these people about their future, and to work out plans which will guarantee their rights in any new relationship with Egypt. Prime Minister Attlee has told the Commons that the rights of the Sudanese "t odecide their own fu- ture" have not been impaired. For eign Ofilce comment stresses the likelihood of some form of con- tinued condominium.

 Answer-Thank you, Doctor. I have no further suggestions-it is just that several persons with ttnni- tuS (head noises) have found pro- longed relief from taking four grains of quinine sulfate (pill, capsule or otherwise) three times a day for six weeks. If quinine is not yet available in your community with out prescription, that is all I can do about 1t.

WASHINGTON, Nov. l. (NEA) While you're feeling sorry for all the refugees tear or two for 50 GOO displaced Americans. They're native born and naturalzed U. s. citizens stranded in Europe, and gosh only knows when they'll be liber- ated.
 Most of them are people who went back to the old countries between World Wars and II. They're still stuck in the aftermath of War IT. by the almost complete lack of U. S. passenger ships, by the stub- bornness and red tape of some of the European gov ernmentS, and by the awfu snarl or involved, oual citizenship laws
 Recent State Department charges that some of these Americans are being kept in YugoSlav concen- traton camps and worked as slave labor constitute merely one of many complicating chapters in this tangled tale of nnocents abroad
 The native-born third to umpteenth generation, 100 percent isolationist Americans cry that These people went back where they came from Of their own free will so let them stay there" $ narrow minded view of their predcament.
 The depression of the l9SO's sent many of these first and second-generation Americans of European extraction back to the old world Social welfare work urged thousands to go back as soon as they lost their jobs and unemployment stared them in the face. Many who had saved up little money went back where they savings would go further under the lower standards of living.
 When the war broke out in Europe, the United States government officially did everything 1t could to make 1t hard for the expatriates to get back. The neutrality act forbade U. S. ships to enter bel
 gerent waters Any American citizen wanting to re- turn had to apply for permission and prove he was destitute.
 And laws of many European countries made it impossible for Americans to bring out any money. Some tried to stick 1t out to their property, thinking the wouldn't reach them Then, 90 days after hostities broke out the whole program of try ing to help Americans get out of Europe was discon tinued. This was American red tape. Today nobody knows exactly how many U. s. citizens are caught in this web, or where they are. U. S. embassy staffs are so short they can't process

Brass Plates

What is more lasting than brass will eventually bear out the Connecticut Motor Vehicle Departments idea for auto markers Eventually all markers will be brass when the output is sufficient and when oldstye aluminium and steel ones have reached the end of endurance.
 This will be the day when automobiles of ancient vim tage the end of long and successful career Presently according statement issued by the State Motor Vehicle Department there 450000 aluminium and 2OOOO steel plates of the latter in poor condition The steel took the place of aluminium when aluminium was hard to get during years.

utilizing power and water resources to develop the land for the people. It offers hope in a time when political demagogery again has raised hs strident defeatst voice. |.
 Georgia got Gene Talmadge one of the outstand- ing demagogues back again after the state had be- gun to cleanse itself and stand once more for prog ress. Some Georgians sought the help of Federal courts to outlaw the county-unit system whereDy, he won election without getting the most votes The Supreme Court now has told them that Georgia must rid itself of this political institution on its own, which gives the folks of Georgia quite job. They might well face it.
 In Tennessee this year another attempt was made to unhorse Boss Ed H. Crump of Memphis who sup ported Senator McKellar for renomination success fully The opposition went to another quarter here, the so-called Senate Campaign Expenditures Com- mittee. But it's charges of excessive campaign ex- penditures dismissed on the ground that wit nesses had refused to swear to testimony.
 
 sAnybody who has looked into Boss Crump's ma chine knows how effective afe the intimidatons and pressures he uses. and anybody who observed the Memphis election this year, as did the writer knows 1t was a negaton of true democracy It looks as If the citizens themselves will to do the job if 1t is ever done. No help seems forthcoming from the Senate, exclusive club that it is.
 As far as the Justice Department is concerned, 1t is. in truth rather then law upon which 1t can inject itself into primary elections though 1t has been done. Attorney General Tom Clark has pledged that he will seek strengthening of the Civil Lber- ties statutes in the next Congress.
 Meanwhile he has, however, announced he will lay before federal grand jury evidence gathered by the F.BI. in the inhuman ynching of four Negroes at Monroe Ga, which shocked the nation.
 It is bit hard for citizens generally to under stand fine distinctions between State and Federal Government in the face of such crimes since a are citizans of the uaiAAd States.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Twentieth Century Methods

Mr. wishes to know the name of the doctor who gives the ambul- ant treatment for hernia. (C.R.W0
 Answer-Take a letter. My dear Mr.; Some time when you are not in conference come down to my level and ask me again-this time inclosing a stamped self addressed envelope, that is, If you hope for a reply. Right now know of no one in your vicinity I can recommend. but as the better doctors (who were in service) gradually get relocated my list is building up to something like pre-war adequacy. The old fog ies and second rate practitioners just can't get the hang of the diffi- cult technique of ambulant treat ment and so their uniformed cuS- toners must submit to hospitaliza- tion. But don't let 'em tell you that the radical operation is either safer or more likely to cure the hernia that the office method Is. The truth is that the radical operation is more dangerous and at least as likely to fail to cure the hernia as the ann bulant method is. If any physician or surgeon of standing questions this, I have the statistics to prove it.

treaty would be an agreement about withdrawal of British troops and about other questions of national defense for Egypt. Progress in this direction is believed to have been made. Evidently MT. Bevin has been able to convince Sidky Pasha that Britain will not take undue advan- tage of military agreements against aggression by using them to justify uuartering of British troops on Egyptian soil to the detriment of Egypt's sovereignty.
