Georgia Lady

WASHINGTON Nov. 26- (NEAl Mrs. Helen Douglas Mankin. congresswOman from GeOrgia's FOurt District which takes in Atlanta says she has just begun to fight.
 election of James c. Davis of Decatur Ga. who took her seat in Congress away from her in the November election
 Secondly, she is going to start suit for damages against Georgias secretary of state and the three state ordinaries If the case goes through to the Supreme Court. as Mrs. Mankin hopes 1t will an opinion may be handed down which will outlaw Georga's county unit rule" and for the first time enable the people of that state to choose their off cials by majority vote of the citizens The county
 unit rule was of course of the factors responsible for Mrs. Mankin's defeat
 If Mrs. Mankin can go through with this double- barreed shotgun attack, she may well turn Georgia politics inside out, for the possibilities and impca- tions are tremendous.
 Her formal contest against Davis must be filed with officials of the House and served on Davis be- fore Dec 3. which is the expiration of the sOdays election period for such action The contest will will be referred to the House Committee Elections when the new Congress convenes in January It may take six months or year before decision will be made by vote of the House Mrs. Mankin may not oppose Daviss taking his seat pending decision because to dc so would deprive her district of representation in Congress. .
 The court action will be still slower. The suit must be filed and tried first in the District Federal Court for Georgia then carried to the Supreme Court on appeal. It will take time-and money-to prepare and try the suit Decision may not come for several years.
 The gentlewoman from Georgia who now begins this fight is ta slender and fit with lot of nervous energy. Her hair is beginning to gray. She Is 50 and doesn't care who knows it. She has a pair of clear blue eyes that can look hole through a concrete wall She was educated as Q lawyer and served 10 years in the Georgia General Assembly, so she knows her way around politics.
 She was elected to Congress .last February to fill out Robert Ramspecks term after he resigned. Since then she has had Co fight two other campaigns

NOR BY POWER"

CThe Christian Science Monitor)
 Interest in people getting along with each other is exhibiting a pne- nnomenal rise. This fresh concern about human relationships grows largely out of the atomic bomb, the United Nations, the difficulties Of making the peace, and strikes The new turn in thinking focuses less on the physical sciences and more on humanity.
 Meantime a movement that fits in the Worldwide Bible Reading Program of the American Bible So- ciety-has been developing for the past few years. It started from a marine in the Pacific writing his mother to read daily with him the same chapter in the Bible that he did. The mother read the letter to the Philadelphia office of the Bible Society over the telephone and hung up. She has never been identi- fled.
 The Society picked up the idea, selected passages for daily Bible reading from Thanksgiving through Christmas, and broadcast them. So far this year it has distributed ls,- 100000 of the references. Their cur rent theme is from Zachariah: Not by night, nor by power. but by my spirit, saith the Lord of hosts" The aim is to encourage people to read the Bible daily and apply it to their lives:
 For lending a practical know-how to the new zeal for better human relations there is nothing like the truths about life. liberty, and the pursuit of happiness to be found in the beloved Bible.

MT. Lac. for Governor

We were rather sorry to that the citizens of Trieste picked Fioreo H. LaGuardia, out of all the worlds possible candidates the they should like to see become the of the future Free State of Trieste.
 There is nothing personal in feeling. Mir LaGuardia would probably be good choice He has experience and he speaks Italian least of the Yugoavan dia ecs But we're afraid his appointment might further slow up the snairs pace of international politics.
 The Big Four foreign ministers have just finished a long drawnou discussion the relative powers of Trieste future governor and police chief. It tange that stalled the whole process of treaty making Now, Mr. LaGuarda is chosen head man. the job will have to start all over again
 Who would get denounce the n-horns, the governor the chief of police? What about trafcesco prortie in getting fires? Who would go after Trestes bingo- playing housewives? How about free radio time?
 Mir LaGuarda settled all these questions in his own favor as mayor of New York But New York isn't Trieste We shudder think what might happen when the demands of such coorfu and caprcous administrator Mr. La nardia got tossed in the laps of that equally caprcous gathering known the Big Four.

A NOVEMBER NoSEGAY
New York Times


 Let the Weather Bureau cite the statistical records to show what strange things have been happening this fall in this particular area. You needn't know how many degrees of excess temperature there have been since Sept. l. or how long the heavy frost held off. All you have to do is take a walk along a country road and keep your eyes open.
 This past week one observer found forsythia in bloom, though the leaves were rusty with frost. He found bush honeysuckle blushing with misguided little trumpets of flowers that have no business at all showing their color at this time Of year. Quite a number of asters were still holding their petals and putting out new ones, the wild asters that have peculiar hard iness but certainly do not belong to the latter days Of November. Tn one

has fallen back again, in the House into almost complete control of the South.
 Southerners know this and intend to make the most of it. They can outvote the Eastern and Far Western wing of the party the floor leadership, as on legislation AS it shapes up now the only hope of the non-South elements would be a compromise candidate
 Southern candidates for the post include Repre- sentatives Cox of Georgia and Thomson of Texas. Rep Rankin of Mississippi likewise is again a cand- date as he has been for years but his claims sentatives Mccormack. Sabath os Illinois present chairman Of the important Rules Committee and Walter of Pennsylvania. The last-named is being cf- fered in the role of a compromise candidate as a niddle-roader.
 Tradition, well as the weight Of numbers, IS on the side of the Southerners They have pre- dominated in recent years in the posts of speaker and floor leader Exceptions were Mir Mccormack and in the first year of the New Deal and floor leader before that.
 The progressive wing of the party already much reduced numerically in the House would be further restricted in it's operating effectiveness by Southern party leader for obvious So would President Truman assuming that he still can be counted in the progressive wing of the party ana that he still will speak up for the legislative program he has espoused even if he gets little further.
 On the other hand floor leader from the pro- gressive wing of the party might be able sort of restraining influence upon the Southerners They may be expected, in the Congress as in the last, to side with Republicans such measures as labor legislation and strict governmental economy This economy will be used a cover to restrict numerous existing New Deal agencies by starving them on appropriations

Bertie who suffers with delu- sions of grandeur graciously con- sented to give some newspaper man an interview. but. according to the story published about this Chicago burlesque. insisted on keeping fifteen feet away from the visitor because he q can't make out from the story whether Bertie or the interviewer seemed to have what, in rag-tag parlance, is called, in the early stages, 8 cold"
 A news item telling of the send of given General Eisenhower as he boarded ship for a trip to England mentions that the general was re- covering from a heavy you know what the reporter can call it noth- ing else but. and that Mrs. Eisen- hover remained in her stateroom, as she was still feeling the effects of an attack of flu. bronchitis or something-well. anyway, the gen. eral didn't say cold.
 The item reminded one editor Of family who live in his neighbor- hood. They have three growing children. When one member of the family develops the C-R-I q can prive the editor used this term) we have often noticed how it rip- pies through the home and all five members of the family have their whirl at it. an article on how to confine the GIRL to the one member of the family who brings it home. instead of allowing it to go the rounds as it does in so many households.
 The best way to do that is de- scr1bed in detail on p. q of the booklet Call IL Cri" (for the book let send twenty-five cents and stamped self addressed envelope) but unfortunately it involves wear ing a mask, and most people would rather catch whatever the trouble may prove to be than do such an unconventional thing as wear a suit able mask even in the privacy Of home
 The next best way is to keep out of range of the person who has the eri. That means one must keep not less than ten to twelve feet away from the person if he or she coughs or sneezes openface or without holding handkerchief or other screen over nose and mouth to prevent spattering the environment with mouth or nose spray-visible or invisibly fine droplets of moisture which may carry the virus or germs of the disease. The effective range of the spray given of during polite conversation is only two or three feet, not more than five feet, so that it is not SO difficult to keep out of conversational spray range, as, say. across a desk or a counter or a table.
 If a suitable mask is not out of the question. let the member Of the family who brings home the cri wear over nose and mouth a mask consisting of not less than ten layers of gauge (cheeseclOth) hav- in & mesh of g threads to the inch, or else the more comfortable. cleaner, more efficient, transparent Silyers mask described in the cri booklet.

DON'T USE CANDLES
Boston PoSt)

The ban against lighting of Christmas trees in the home, issued as part of the recent dimout de- cree to conserve coal. may lead to an old evil that has caused loss of life. Some people will want to sub- stitute lighted candles for electric bulbs in their desire to have their trees appropriately illuminated for the holiday season. That would be a serious mistake The possibilities of fire from such setup are so strong that it would be better nt to try it at all rather than attempt to keep constant watch. We do not want a wave of fires to further dim what should be a festive period.

the state primary in July and the final election in November. Three campaigns in nine months is not only record for gentlewoman from Georgia-its a record.
 In those three campaigns Mrs. Mankin claims they threw at her everything in the book. Tn the July primary Mrs Mankin won a majority of the votes but Jim Davis two out of the three coun- ties in the district. Both names were to go the November ballot But at Gov. Eugene Talmadges machine convention in Macon a month before the election, resolution was passed saying that Davis was the sole nominee and that any state official who olo anything to put Mrs. Mankn's name on the ballot would be read out of the Democratic Party
 They put that one over. Mrs Mankin could have run as an independent but she chose instead to run as regular Democrat and campaigned to have her name written in on the ballots Further she refused to accept the unit rule system She qualified and ran under the popular vote system. By doing that she placed herself in strong position to contest Davis and file her suit against state election officials She says she planned it that way.
 In her contest against Davis before the House of Representatives. Mrs Mankin will make three charges D that votes cast for her in the November election were not counted (2 that due to intimidation by the Talmadge convention Georgia officials violated state violated.
 Let's take one example The law says that all bal- lots shall be counted and that the public shall have the right to watch the counting. Tn DeKalb County. Mrs. Mankins own brother. Dean Hamilton Douglas A@W Sctaooi' WAS oeuied pcfm1Blon 70 watch the counting of the courthouse ballot box and was threatened with arrest if he insisted.
 T won't knuckle under to that" says Mrs Man kin They can't run me out of the Democratic Party. the Talmadge state legislature meets in January and repeals the primary election laws for which fought. and if two years later they try to substitute the selection of Democratic Party nominees hand-picked by Talmadge clubs, there's going to be fight between the Talmadge Democrats and the real Democrats"
 Mrs. Mankin says she's in there fighting ios the real Democrats.

QUESTIONS and ANSWERS
 Negative

Is a negative tuberculin test . sure sign that there is no tuber- cular infection anywhere in the body? w. l.. R)
 Answer-A negative test is not a sign of anything. It is comparable with no negs-which is better than bad news. Tuberculin test is for tuberculosis only; other tubercular infections. such a syphilis. do not respond to a tuberculin test. The word "tubercular," although often misused, pertains to tubercle, and tubercles are humps or swellings or nodules which may occur in syphilis. leprosy, tuberculosis, etc. The word pertaining to tuberculosis is tubeT- cui0us. not tubercular.

 The contest was precipitated by the adamant re- fusal of present Speaker Rayburn of Texas to take for Senator Barkley of Kentucky is ready to step down from majority to minority leader.
 Mir. Rayburn turned down insistent appeals to take the floor leadership. They were prompted by the hope he would be able to hold together the con- flicting elements Of the party into some sort of effective and militant opposition The party, in the House elsewhere has its rather sharp division be- tween the Southern wing, preponderantly conserva- tive, and the more progressive wing drawn from big urban centers in the East and from the Far West.
 Geographically, and to large extent too on issues, sam Rayburn is identified with the Southern wing But speaker, and before that as floor leader warning elements. He probably kept them from each others throats as often possible. His personal popularity, his long experience and his prestige car ried much weight.
