The fact is that nothing will down

Truman pointed to his voting rec

Community Schools Urged
BY D. t.. Recreation Chief

The postwar era should provide
excellent opportunities to establish
community schools which dovetail
into the recreational and cultural
life of a neighborhood, Milo F.
Christensen, District recreation su-
perintendent, told the annual con-
ference of the American Association
for Health, Physical Education and
Recreation in st. Louis yesterday.
Mr.. Christensen said he was
pleased to state I come from a city
of progressive school and city ON
cials."
I'VE are actually planning and
constructing what might be called
the community school," he said
Recreation as a community func-
ton in relation to the use of schools
is almost q tradition in Washing
ton."
Use of community schools will
mean more healthful and happier
places in which our children, youth
and adults can live" he said.

New Synthesized Drug Cures
ReIupsinq Malaria in Whites

veloped by Americans, and paludrine
by the British. Bad after effects do
not appear and the administrative
job Is much easier. None of these
drugs, however, cures malaria.
At the start of the war the only
cures were quinine, very difficult to
obtain, and a synthetic German
drug, plasmochin. The latter was
quite effective when used in large
doses in conjunction with quinine.
But it soon was demonstrated that
plasmochin was quite poisonous. It
could be used only under close med
ical supervision.
In both the United States and
Great Britain continuous efforts
were made to synthesize a less poi
sonous drug as a quinine substitute.
Already" said Dr.. Shannon, ''it
is known that at least one COM
pound will cure the virulent forms
Of vivax malaria in well-tolerated
doses. It remains to be demon
strated that this will not cause
anemias such as follow plasmochin
administration. These occur more
or less exclusively In colored and
mixed races, the bulk Of the inhab-
itants of hyper-endemic areas"
Cancer Evidence Presented.

common cold-causes at least one
form of cancer.
This has been demonstrated only
for breast cancer of mice and there
is no evidence that the conclusions
have any bearing on any kind Of
malignant growth in human beings.
More than II years ago DR.. John
j. Bittner, working with mice at the
Roscoe B. Jackson Laboratory at
Bar Harbor, Me, demonstrated that
breast cancer was in some way trans

Efforts to locate this cancer fac

Bittner said, that it is a virus. When
the milk of cancer strain mothers

Incumbent Gets jolt.
The incumbent Democratic Rep
resentative whose henchmen re-
ceived this oficial billet-doux from
the party head rather naturally
feels that in his district the party
already has a good candidate and
that no conferences are necessary.
He is also more than somewhat sus-
picious of the phrase "other inter-
ested parties" and haying voted for
the drastic Case antistrike bill Is
wondering If that means the CIO-
PAC Is to be invited to take after
him.
This gentleman has launched a
quiet investigation to determine
whether any or all of the other
108 who were slapped down In the
Digest article, only to be told it
was a mistake, are receiving like
souvenirs via the United States
mails.
But it's q mailing mistake and not
an invitation to the purge, accord
ing to Sam O'Neal, publicity director
Of the National Committee.
Mr.. O'Neal admitted the Hanne-
gan Committee imprimatur on the
offending missive but explained that
1t was to have been sent solely to
chairmen in districts now held by
Republicans. IF one of the letters
was sent to the county chairman in
district now represented by a
Democrat, 1t was a mistake on the
part of those who compiled the mail
ing list" O'Neal said. THE theory
behind the letters was to get har-
monious party behind one good can
didate to oppose the Republican in
cumbent.
Calls 1t Isolated Case.
IF the letter went to a chairman
in a Democratic-held district, 1t
must be an isolated case. Nothing
of the sort was intended. We be-
lieve it was an isolated case be-
cause we have had no other in
stances called to our attention"
Mr.. O'Neal said Mr.. Hannegan
and other committee strategists had
devoted q good deal of time to con-
ferences designed to help local chair
men iron out primary fights and
resolve conflicting claims so as to
enhance the chances of Democratic
success.

@. What are the principal causes
of forest fires?-R. S. H.
A. Studies over period Of years
revealed the fact that most forest
fires are either incendiary or
caused by smokers. Over 80 per cent
of them result from some deliberate
or careless act Of man.
@. Is the snake a cold-blooded
creature?-D. L.
A. Yes. Except for the pythons
brooding their eggs, no reptile is
known to generate internal body
heat. Snakes tend to acquire the
temperature of the earth on which
they are lying or in which they are
buried.
@. How many Republican Presi-
dents served two full terms?-G. E.
A. Grant has been the only Presi-
dent elected on the Republican
ticket to serve two full terms since
the organization OF the party in
1854. Lincoln was reelected, but
was assassinated before completing
his second term.
@. May DDT be used on cat
to rid the animal Of f1eas?-S. c. D.
A. The Department Of Agriculture,
in its bulletin on the methods OF

not be treated with DDT dusts
because they lick themselves and
can INCEST enough Of the poison to
make them sick.
@. What was the greatest ar
mada ever assembled at one time
for an invasion of an enemy coun-
try during World War II?-M. w. P.
A. The greatest armada ever as
sembled in World War II was for
the invasion Of France on D day,
June 6, 1914.
@. Has code OF building stand
ards been established for prefab-
ricated houseS?-T. c.
A. The Prefabricators' Institute
and the National Bureau of Stand
ards together have worked out a
code of standards for factory built
houses to protect home buyers.
@. What was the name Of the
musical composition that was played
when Gen. CORVALLIS surrendered

simple matter. 1t involves all the
delicate intricacies of diplomacy and
1t involves a consistent state OF
mind. Diplomacy we leave to our
diplomats and hope for the best
The national state of mind. how
ever, is something in which we all
participate and it is important that
1t be one calculated actually to
further our hopes of peace.
Argument Swayed Congress.
We hear it constantly said that
We cannot have influence unless we
are strong; that we must be pre-
pared to back up our high purposes
with force; that, in effect, we must
be prepared to flght-for peace
and that the world must be kept
aware of our readiness. This ap-
proach to the problem is said to be
the approach that convinced Con-
gress. Whether 1t will convince the
rest of the world of our peaceable
Z intentions remains to be seen.
- We say only the strong can be
free. There being only two or three
strong nations left in the world, this
philosophy may be little dis
couraging to all other nations.
= Finally, we say that the time has
come when we must assume the
moral leadership of the world. Some
body says this in speech or print
nearly every day. I wonder if they
ever consider how this must sound
to people who don't happen to be
Americans.
. 1t wouldn't make me happy to
have a stranger or even friend
walk through the door with the
announcement that he had come to
take over moral leadership in my
home. Something of that kind might
be needed, but the self-elected moral
leader would be decidedly unwel-
come nevertheless. I think I'd ask
him just to remain outside and con-
fine his efforts to setting me and
my family a wholesome example.
49,. Nations Feel the Same.
The family of nations is not likely
to respond any differently to any
pious pronouncement from us that
we've come to assume moral lead
ersnip and have brought our Army,
Navy and atomic bomb with us.
Much as they may admire us-and
we take it for granted that every
bow Gees a6nlire us-they probably
would prefer to have us display a
little more modesty and a little
less muscle. -...
All in all, if we, are out to obtain
good will for ourselves and to pro-
mote universal good will among the
nations, we would do well to drop
the Leadership" line and put the
emphasis on our disposition to CO.
operate. And by cooperation we
shouldn't merely mean conversa-
tion. Specifically, we should mean
a readiness to give up the role OF
world policeman as rapidly as

be formed; a readiness to abandon
armed bases in the Pacific and
North Atlantic; a readiness to be a
good neighbor.
Having in mind how well this has
worked in the Western Hemisphere,
where we've ceased to be hated as
the Colossus of the North, we have
little need to fear the result in the
wider world.

milk. The cancer-producing agent
has been found to be present in
large amounts not only in breast
cancers themselves but also in nor
NAL breast tissue, of cancerous
strains. Other tests have shown
that the agent is of about the
proper size for filterable virus. 1t
is much smaller than any bacteria
or protoEoa.
If q virus can be demonstrated
to cause one type of cancer, it was
pointed out, it would be remarkable
if the same sort of agent does not
produce similar growths on other
animals than mice-although there
is no positive evidence for this. This
reasoning cannot be carried too far,
since many causes for cancer are
known which apparently do not
need virus as an activator.
