DISASTER IN JAPAN
(NeR York Tlmesl


 The earthquake which sent six huge ocean waves rolling over the southwestern coast of Japan appears to have been one of the most violent ever recorded. Officials of the Jap- anese Central Meteorological Observ- atory say it was four to five times more intense than that which razed Tokyo in 1923. Yet both because it originated far out in the depths of the sea and failed to flood Japan,s most populous certers the death list, heavy enough in all conscience, seems surprisingly light. So far re- ported but steadily mounting, it has reached somewhere around 1000. The Tokyo holocaust of twenty~three years ago claimed i43,0o0 victims. Yet by all human standards Japan, just struggling out of the misery and chaos following her loss of the war, has suffered another major calamity. The first tidal sweep was ten feet high. The wall of water surging in- land spread over 6O,0OO square miles from Hiroshima almost to Tokyo. More than 2000 ships were wrecked, while railways and bridges were torn from their foundations. The worst devastation occurred on the exposed Wakayama peninsula of Honshu and on Shikoku Island. Fortunately, how ever, the Japanese people know what to do when an earthquake strikes. At the first shock, anticipating the tidal waves to follow, they fled to the hills. Multitsides found tempor- ary haven there.
 Somewhere between 3Oo,OOo and hak a million persons are now homeless and helpless in freezing weather. Aside from all material de- struction, this places an almost in- supportable budren on a nation still barely able to live at the subsistence level. General MacArthur's occupa- ton forces, however, are organizing relief and have the means not only to give direct aid but to restore order from confusion. The American Army is in Japan not alone to police a de- feated nation but to help speed re- covery. It will not fail in either duty. Years may elapse before Japan can clear the wide ruin spread by this latest disaster. It means that stolc people who have suffered greatly through their own unhappy choice must suffer still more misfortune for which they are not responsible. But if outside help is needed they will find America not less generous in peace than she was stern in war.

IODINE AND THYROID GLAND
 FUNCTION

AS nearly as l can understand there Is no essential difference be- tween hypotnyroidiSm or thyriod gland inadequaOy or inactivity of thyroid gland function and iodine deflciency.
 The most familiar manifestation of Iodine deficiency in teen age chiidrn is simple goitre or slight eTl- largement of the thyroid gland. But q good many schOoi children in their early teens suffer from thyroid ifl- adequacy, sluggish thyroid function, even though they have no sign of goitre, and this, as believe, is iodine deficinecy.
 These children nope. That's all
 Hold on, now, parents, grand parents, uncles, aunties, big bro- thers and sisters-we must remem- Der that every youngsters Is en- titled to feel little tried nearly all the time-or at least when there are chores to do, lessons to study music to practice and all that sort of thing. Then, for the youngsters sake, we must remember that iodine deficiency is not the explanation for moping. Sometimes a child mopea because he Of she has anemia or even the beginning of tuberculosis in one lung. I hate to mention these possibilities, but in fairness to the child the least You can do, if you care ct all, is see to 1t that the child receives a careful examination by a physician before you call the poor kid lazy or careless or inatten- tive or anything like that.
 I say every kid from 10 to le iE entitled to feel a little tired when there is a lot of dashed homework to do or an hour of music practice or a wall to whitewash or 6 floor to sweep or snow to shovel or peas to pick. Such tasks made us all feel tired when we were 10 to l6. re- member7
 But just growing, no matter how fast the child grows, should never explain that chronic tired feeling in a child fo 10 Co l6. nor does fl ever hurt such e child to grow So fast-f mean, 1t is unfair to the child to dismiss any complaints of ache. pain or clamp as growing pains"
 A suitable daily ration of iodine in one form or another is the best prophylactic or preventive against thyroid inadequacy in children oi this age. That is approximately the amount of iodine nutrition authori- ties estimate as the mininium daily requirement. for every one-from 50 to 200 micrograms-just a wee, wee fraction, say 1/4OOth part of a grain That, however, is only the mini- mum or the least anyone can gel along with and maintain good nu- triton or good health. From many years of observation and persona, experience I am convinced that ter times that much is advisable fol everybody and can never do any possible harm to aIlybody-no mat ter what ails him or her.
 We are speaking only of nutri- tional iodine, not medicinal iodine and of prevention of prophylaxis not of treatment of cure of any thing. Tn no circumstances do ] advise any one to take medicinal doses of iodine or iodide In any form as a remedy or treatment for his or her ailment. That is clearly a medical question which the pa- tient's physician should consider.

Views of the Press

| the alternative to the Franco regime just now is @ Soviet puppet in Madrid. Spain Is at pres ent the only sizable country in Ep- rope in which the agents of Mos~ COW are not playing the leading role. Since, as things stand, they cannot get their hands on Spain from within, they propose to do 30 from without using the LIN as a means to that end.
 It has been repeatedly stated in these columns that we do not con- sider the Franco regime the ideal government for Spain. But we be- lieve that it is more representative of Spain than Communist agents or stooges would be- We believe, too, that it is far less a threat to En- rope and world peace thaan a gang such as now rules ia Poland or Rumaria. Give Spain up to the Kremlin and you fasten on the Spanish an alien dictatorship; you facilitate the persecution of re ligion; you solidify the anti-demo- cratic and anti-western front that has been formed all across Europe by Stalin's servitors; you hasten the day of armed conflict between the Atlantic world and a European RussiAn-Asiatic asnalgRm of en0r~ nous size and not even rudimen- tary sCruples.
 The principal anti-Franco agita- tors in the UN are themselves the engineers or tools of a system in oomparably more oppressive and vicious than Francos at its worst They are the representatives, more over, Of a system which aims at nothing less than world dominance by whatever means This fact should not be lost sight of, despite Mir. Molotov's Concessions" of the last couple of weeks. These ''concesSiuns" amount to very little. They come only after the Soviets have stalled long enough to entrench themselves in countries promised their freedom but delivered up to the Moscow Mo- l0Ch; they come prior to Q S0viet drive to extract a huge loan from the United States. They rep resent a change Of tactics; not a change of ohjectiues. They can de- ceive no one cognizant of recent history.
 Why make Spain a Soviet spring. board against the West, a Soviet gun in the ribs of the West? That is the question which should weigh with the United States and Britain, If less pragmatic considerations have no influence with them.

| Now, in reference to the buying
groups that Mr.. Newton mentioned, l
and the N.TE.A. stand for tax equal
ity. If there is an inequality in taxa
ton between the buying groups and
their other competitors I'm in favor
of equalizing and there's a job to do
there, I'll admit. Just what it is has
great ramifications as Mr.. Newton has
pointed out | know in the instance
the buying group that there is little
if any sidestepping of a corporate tax.
Where as Mr.. Newton pointed out 100,-
900 grocers, probably most of them I'M
incorporated, own buying organiza-
tions-there perhaps is a sidestepping
of the tax liability, income tax 1iabili-
ty and this buying wholesale, this
wholesale house-owned by buying
group, may not be doing it's share
in supporting this government. If it
is not, then / say it should. That's my
stand on that. l know some private
businessmen wouldn't like it, but that's
my stand and that of N.TEA."

A third high-light was McCabe's adj
mission that it is the farmer who real

competitors of farmer co-operatives
are complaining.
Business is a tax collector for our

ington"
Newton in replying pointed out that
there is not much difference between
the tax status of co-operatives as de-
scribed by McCabe and the tax sta
tus of the profit businesses who are
their competitors.
"He has stated to you" Newton said
that it is the rule of private profit
business to add the tax into the price
that's charged to the public. 1t works

During the latter weeks of March
the commission noted a slight drop in
number of claim applications each
week as compared to increasing num-
bers of applications for benefits in
other Rocky Mountain states. This
drop, it is believed, is due to the
heavier amount of enlistment of men
into the armed forces during the de-
Tense and early war periods, as COM
pared to the other states. The result
is that there is a higher proportion
of high-point men among Montana vet
Grams.
In the time lapse between applica-
ton for and start of payments of I'M
employment compensation to veterans,
the Montana commission ranks right
at the top, being surpassed in recent
months only by the Maryland commits
sion. Maryland verified and paid with
in week on original veterans appli-
cations total of 95.6 per cent of all
claims, Montana ranked second with

FALLS LABOR
CURRENT

| The Cascade County Trades and La
Dor Assembly delegated its vice presi
dent L. L. Price, to represent them
on the panel discussion of the Social
Action conference sponsored by the
Methodist Board of Education. The
theme of the conference was "The Mis-.
souri, River Development and It's So
cial Implications"
In his report to the assembly, Car
penter Price, long an enthusiastic and
studious advocate of the authority
plan for development of the basin,
remarked his surprise and gratifica-
ton in finding a church group active
ly interested in the question
This writer had time only to at
tend the opening session in which Don
Chapman, state president of Farmers
Union, spoke ably, for development by
government authority while Dr. Renne,
president of the Montana State Agri-
cultural College, pinch-hitting for Gov
ernor Ford, spoke for development by
existing agencies, but it seems the
superior method upon the ground of
freedom from senseless congressional
pickering and interference.
One central authority, one overall
appropriation, one executive group to
coordinate all the multiple purposes
of the development and to reconcile
the conflicts; instead of separate agen-
cies, separate appropriations; subject
to the jealousies of parallel bureau
authority; subject to the badgering of
disinterested congressman or the sabo-
tage of private power interested con-
gressmen, under the guise of being
treasury watch-dogs, every time
dime of expense is to be authorized
One has only to thumb through the
congressional records to see how often
points-of-order are raised in an effort
to disqualify an appropriation on the
lack of some specific phrase or
clause.
