The Shoener twins, Hal and Her

receivers. Hal played a wing posi-

the war years was selected. an

Bruno Niedziela, a 1912 Iowa let
terman, has returned from Army
service to take over his former

Donaldson, Georgia's right half
back currently leads the South
eastern Conference scoring parade
with 30 points, baised or five touch

Donaldson, a star with the Jack

to expectations. While he did play
regularly, he scored only SO points

Merry-GO-RO

WASHINGTON Oct. 2S-There are now 53 sep arate items the agenda to be discussed at the United Nations, but No on the list when 1t comes to explosiveness is the Cuban proposal to end the veto.
 The man who thus had the nerve to snap his ffn- gers in the face of the Big Five is young Cuban Am bassador Guillermo Belt who is accustomed to doing things that require courage.
 Elected mayor of Havana at the phenomenal age of 27 Belt has been on the political firing line since, including one hot campaign he Waged against eX-PreSdent Batista, the strong man of Cuba. Ba- tista that election following which most of the leaders who opposed him fled to Miami Not so Guil- lero Belt. He remained in Havana to be the PreSl- dents most vigorous critic, walking through the streets without bodyguard. Eventually Batsta who admired courage, offered Belt place in his cabinet which he declined.
 It was at the San Francisco Conference that Belt first began his attack on the veto He has con- tinued the battle since, despite the fact that certain government officials of the western powers have urged him not to press for roll call on this dynamite laden issue in New York
 "Perhaps the Russians will walk out of the United Nations if their right to block action they don't like is taken away" says the young Ambassador But if believe it is better to know it now in- stead of later"
 Most Latin Americans strong for the Cuban proposal Only Brazil so far remains -commttal Outside of Latin America eleven countries have also expressed their support and Belt figures that if he hold these 31 votes through the roll call the veto power may be doomed.
 Ambassador Belt apologies for his blunt candor at diplomatic functions.

 Kate Smith was so excited she lost her hat and almost forgot her gloves when she called at the White House to launch the Community Chest drive and to give President Truman the original copy of the Community Chests new march, "The Red Feather" It composed by Maj.

Strange Trend

WASHINGTON, Oct. 28-A strange thing is hap penng in the country judging from political signs. It is easy It hits you the face It is fairly of the American people
 No one would have forecast year ago-at leaA no one dd-that there would be such political re- vusion against the Truman administration and the Democratic Party is boiling up for the election 10 days off.
 year ago the war had not been over for long The President adjusting himself gradually to the office suddenly thrust upon him enjoying public favor The country going through the ordeal ot reconversion, but none of the dire things predicted off and prosperity heralded despite snort ages and strikes and interruptions to production
 While there were clear indications of the usual postwar reaction in resistance to continued Government restraints foresaw sharp po- ltical reversal within the year. It looked to most people that prosperity would carry Harry Truman through the Congressional elections fairly easily and perhaps to reelection in 1948
 There is prosperity plenty of it. But it is not the shining pillar of fire for the Democrats politically, The unexpected has happened.
 Today the status of Harry Truman, judged from the talk you hear about the country is some what comparable to that of Herbert Hoover in 1931- though not nearly low. And under what strangely contrasting circumstances! MT Hoover reached such point that when there drought people were ready to blame him because it didn't rain.
 Similarly Harry Truman seems able to please hardly any now. It's a good thing there isn't 8 drought Somebody would blame him.
 Prosperity it turns out, is nelp at all political y In prosperity Americans like the spoiled child who wants more all the time and not grateful for any of it. When Harry Truman lifts restrictions, he

The Doctor Says 1 Ry VIM 4 O,RRIEN M ID
Written for NEA Service
By VIM. A. O'BRIEN, M. D.

Written for NEA Service
 The proper treatment of hearing loss depends upon the cause, writes Dr. A. c. Furstenburg in the Jour nal of the American Medical Asso- ciation. The prevention of mo st forms of hearing loss, infinitely more desirable than treatment, must wait until research investigations yield more specific information than that which we have at present.
 Loss of hearing can be produced by blockage of the special duct (eustachian tubel which connects the ear to the throat. The usual cause is an enlargement of lynn phoid tissue (adenoids) in the throat.
 This form of hearing loss occurs most often in children. Treatment of it should be directed to the throat.
 ADENOID REMOVAL
 Relief fo tubal deafness in chill dren may follow removal of the adenoids. It may be necessary to remove the extra adenoid tissue which blocks the opening of the custodian tube in the throat be- fore a favorable result is obtained. When the extra adenoid tissue is Shrunk down by radium, there is in many cases a quick return of normal hearing. Most of the failures result from incomplete destruction of the adenoid tissue in the open ing of the tube or ear complica- tionS.
 Tubal deafness is often found in school surveys in children whose iparents and teachers were not aware of it's presence, for the onset is in- sidious. The condition tends to be progressive unless the lymphoid tis- sue is destroyed.
 The treatment of deafness by in- flating the passageway with air is usually unsuccessful. In many adults on whom this method is tried, the hearing difficulty dates back to childhood, so that the treatment comes too late. Or the hearing loss may not be caused by tubal obstruc- tion, in which case it cannot suc- ceed.
 Radium treatment of tubal deaf ness must be. carried out by physi- clans skilled in its use. An applicator is introduced, through the nose, into the back of the throat, The radiant energy is carried in small tube, and the throat is treated directly.
 Some physicians use X-ray treat ment for this purpose and claim | good results.

Although arthritis is of the oldest ailments science knows less about than any other has been stated by reliable persons This week the Connecticut Health Board issued bulletin urging the study of arthrs and the of preventive methods to combat the disease The Board also states that 25000 the state in year.
 This announcement lines up with the aspirations of the newly formed National Arthritis Research Foundation which seeks $500000 for program to study the causes and prevention of arhrts and associated rheu matc diseases This subject is close to everyone because the average family has had experience with arthrtc quaintance.
