 I've read og blind men operating successful businesses and doing terrific Joos in their professions, but e never occurred Co me that they could take part in sports. Nov I lind that they not only play golf but there's a bowling loeaue for the blind right here sn los Angeles.
 And get this, they play baseball. The four blind golfers Bing and I played with are Clinton ). Rus sel, a retired business man of Due luth, Minn, who had just won the tournament; Charles Boswell, c veteran from Birmingham, Ala. Marvin shannon, of Fort Worth, Texas and Bob Anderson, of Los Angeles.
 The event was sponsored by Blind Activities Recreation, Inc, 1" whose aim is to stimulate interest. ing sports among the blind. And judging by this tournament they are doing a whale of a job.

Disturbances in Society
 Produce Chronic 'DruTtIts'

Chicago, Dec. iL tuP1--A natural disturbance in society resulting rom the war may be the cause Of ah increase social drinking and the increasing number Of chronic alcoholics, Prof, Anton l. Carlson said today
 Df. Carlson, professor emeritus Of physiology and one of the deans m American science, said that als cOhOl addicts are sick people and should be given hospital care not TOT "jtist Sobering tip," but for real treatment.
 Alcohol addIcts," he said, "come from sii classes Uf society--fich and poor, educated and ignorant. fie- fedity does not seem to play the major part"
 Urges Action
 He recalled that evidence shows there are between 6O0,OO0 and 700, . 900 alcohol addIets in the United States, an dthat more than 10OOO,- / 900 persons drink alcohol In one form or another.
 He also said that the belief iri 5Ofne quarters that increased social drinking leads to af tficreasif1g number of addicts may both be re lated to the Fundamental disturb ance in society as Q result of the war rather than to increased social drinking being the cause of the tf1- creased addiction he said.
 He urged that "somethi1g pc done" about the problem, and said'
 "The federal, state and local gov. ernments received in 1945 nearly 5000 0OO, 600 in taxes from the liquor industry. It would seem fair that a small fraction of that money, city state and national, should pc devoted to the medical treatment of the addict and so the study of the cause of addition, leading 10 possible diminution in the r1ttf1ber of such cases"
 He also urged that the liquor iSi. dustry cut It's advertising budget by one, three or five percent ano ieaye that sum in the hands ol people competent to investigate the causes of alcohol addiction"
 Breaks Down Theories
 Merely saying that alcohol IS a sin, that the addict is a moral weak. ling, does not get tis anywhere. he said. T am sure that 1t is not true in every case. Saying that the alcohol addict Is intellectually de. linuuent, is an inferior citizen at the start, is not true in every in- stance.
 Saving that the addict has a hereditary predilection. was alreaoy a sick person before he came an addict Is not true in every case "
 He said that the answer may De found by beginning with researcn :, and combined this with medical. psyr ological and social therapy;, :,

 Love Affairs
 Hurt Society

Boston, Dec. i7 CUp) - The way to preserve family life in America ls Co "clean out that dlslnteerated group of people in Hollywood" according to Prof., Carle c. Zimmerman, noted Harvard sociologist.
 Zimmerman, who recently recommended abridgement of citizenship rights for those who failed to marry at prescribed ages, said last night at the Old South Church that Hollywood's highiy.publIcized love affairs are life.
 ''To understand Hollywood" ," he said, you have to realize that the whole of Southern California has a purely synthe- tic, childleSs population. The people are uneasy, don't have any children and are completely lost"
 "One of the first things that will have to be done to control the family system is to clean out that disintegrated group of people in Hollywood and say to thenH If you want to do some- thing, do 1t, but don't put 1t in the newspapers'."
 Zimmerman told the Boston Congregational Club that Em- peror Augustus of Rome dealt with a similar class of society by forbidding its members to participate in "dignified mar riage" and denying them redress in the courts for unfaithsIlness.

State Nurses New Policies WinApprOvoI

 SoIory Of $2,04o
 Beiha pvvoided

Revised personnel policies for nurses on hospital general staiis, providing 4 minimum Starting salary of not less than 12b40 at this time and . 4O-hour week by october ], to47, were announced today by the Con- necticut State Nurses Association.
 The new policies, accepted jointly by the Nurses Association and the Connecticut Hospital Association, represent c revision of policies agreed upon by the two groups early last Summer.
 in the original policies, the fniflis f1tifn starting salary was q ,e00 and the work was fixed at 48 hours.
 Following adoption of the policies last Summer, q statewide survey was made by the Nurses Association to determine the extent of their adopt on by Connecticut hospitals. Sub- sequentiy, q joint committee of the Nurses and Hospital Associations reviewed the original policies and recommended the present reviSions.
 The revisions, for the most part, supplement the original recommefl- datioflg, continuing most of the earlier provisions. The code provides an eight-hotir day, and no redtic- ton ii1 minimum salary IS to be made with introduction of the 40- hour week. With the 40-hour week, there will be an annual vacation Of not less than two weeks, longer vacations to be based upon con- tInuity of service, type of serve and level of position.
 The joint committee strongly rec ofnmends establishment of a contri- outing pension plan not later than June 1, 1D47.
 The committee further urges that all employing agencies seek ways and means of implementing these recommendations now"
 The report continues: "Simplifi- cation of procedures and changes in traditional hospital routines are examples of projects that should have analytical study in every or- ganization.'
 The committee voted to review the present recommendation in January Of next year
