 NEA Staff Writer

Don't give in to the end-of the summer temptation to cut your hair short. Strawy ends or stringy locks to the contrary notwithstand- ing - you can aiways recondition these-guard long tresses from scis- sors.
 Why? A wise New York hair dresses, who says he's seen too many customers rue their folly of cutting locks short, gives you three good reasons. To these, any girl in shall-I-shan't I argument with herself should listen.
 No. 1: Sheen and color show up to best advantage in long hair.
 No. 2: It requires a minimum of upkeep and lends itself grace fully to four basic arrangements: loose and flowing bob; a page boy bob; back bun; a topknot.
 No. 3: Men like long hair.

Among the diseases I call cri (kree) or, if you prefer, C. R T, (meaning, of course, Common Re- spiratory Infection, just as T-B means pulmonary tuberculosis al- though it was originally used by doctors to denote tubercle bacilli) is acute anterior poliomyeitis-acute inflammation of front horns or pro- jections of gray matter in the spinal cord, infantile paralysis This, like several other serious illnesses, may masquerade in the early hours or days as a "cold"-if you are gullible enough to believe there is any such illness or comp1aint-and, as Boyd states Preventive Medicine), "the evidence available indicates that the virus enters through the nasal mu- cosa rather than the gastro- -intes- tinal tracts"
 A group of physicians who linn it their practice more or less to diseases of children agreed that the following suggestions should be given the public in reference to the prevention of poliomyelitis:
 1. Avoid extreme fatigue from strenuous exercise.
 (CommenJ by Doc Brady:
 Don't let this cramp your play, kids.)
 2. Ovoid sudden chilling, such as from plunge into extremely
 cold water on a very hot day.
 q say, come on in, kids, that is quaint old granny notion) 3. Pay careful attention to person. al cleanliness, especially wash ing hands be1ore eating. (Now that's good hygiene.) 4 Avoid tonsil and adenoid opper- ations during epidemics; care- ful study has shown that the danger of contracting severe
 forms of poliomyelitis is en-
 hanced by such operations.
 (And that ani't the half of
 it)
 5 Use the purest milk obtainable.
 Keep flies away from food
 Flies have repeatedly been dis ] covered as carriers of the virus
 eve may suspect flies of
 carrying poliomyeitis, but mo-
 body has proved it.
 Incidentally, the purest milk
 obtainable, in the opinion ot flight designers lots of ideas with accessories free printed pattern in book. Price 25 cents.

Plunge Into Cold Water Not DangerOus-D Brady

or Doc Brady, is Certified Milk,
 if you can get it. tf Certified
 Milk is not available, then my
 second choice would be Grade
 A Raw Milk from tuberculin tested herd. If that is not
 available, then my third
 choice would be any fresh
 milk-but scalded, that is
 brought to boil for one min
 ute only-to make any milk
 perfectly safe for infant, in-
 valid, child or adult. Only as
 last resort would I take Pas
 teurized milk.)
 6 Do not swim in polluted water.
 (This is wise whether there
 is polio scare or not.) '. Maintain community sanitation at high level at all times.
 (Well, that sounds nice - I'm
 for it, although I don't know
 what it means.)
 8. Avoid all unnecessary contact with any one who has an illness which might possibly be poliom- yelitis.
 q, Brady, would advise you to
 be even more Squeamish about
 that-avoid getting within
 range of any one who purports
 to have a "cold.")

Union officials are pointing
out that previous company-in-

proved complete failures and
that those who were active IN
organizing it were exposed, and
expressed their complete capfi-

prove to be as dismal as the pre-

Tom Kenny, Local 497 presi-

that "in the clutch they will

much at stake in this fight to
give up now and we will not
call off our strike until an agree

Hershey fighting for it.
The case on which the Su-
preme Court ruled was brought
on appeal by the Industrial
Union of Marine & Shipbuilding
Workers.CIO. Abraham Fish
gold, a Brooklyn welder en-
ployed at the Sullivan Drydock
& Repair Corp. was laid off for
nine days during the first year
after he returned to his job from
the Army.
Both CIO and AFL had ar
gued in all their court briefs
that superseniority ultimately
worked to the detriment of the
veteran and that it would dis
rupt not only union contracts
but labor relations generally
throughout the country.
Toledo union journal. [volume] (Toledo, Ohio) 1942-current, 1946-06-07

At least six court chal-
lenges were brought by the
CIO and AFL on Hershey's
anti-labor Interpretation of the
Selective Service Law.
The court ruled that veteran
returning to his job steps back
on the seniority escalator" at
the point 'he would have occu-
pied had he kept his position
during the war.
Provisions Distorted
Reading the majority decision,
Justice William Douglas de-
clared that provisions of the act
would be distorted ''if we read it
as granting the veteran an in
crease in seniority over what he
would have had if he had never
entered the armed services. No
step-up or gain in priority can
be fairly implied" the court
continued. Congress protected
the veterans against loss of
ground or demotion on his re,
turn. The provisions for restora-
ton without loss of seniority to
his old position or a position OF
like seniority mean no more.
Hershey Promoted Fight
The heated and costly fight
began in May, 1914, when Her
shey issued the notorious Local
Board Memorandum 1904 which
required that a veteran be rein
stated to "his former position or
one of like seniority status and
pay even though such rein
statement necessitates the dis
charge of q non-veteran with a
greater seniority"

Many political observers here
see in the settlement of the
limited Mine Workers st r k e
good reasons for the veto of the
Case bill but the fact still re-
mains that the danger of the

Members of the maritime un-

dent since his speech to Con-

Despite the view held here
that the President will veto the

he will do so. This, coupled with

coalition of conservative RepH5s-

ticipate in the strike declared in
a statement issued on behalf of
their 100000 members that
Truman's. proposed legislation
will be resisted by the common
people everywhere.
Reuther Adds UAW
Walter Reuther, president oil
the United Auto WorkerszCIOS
with the agreement of the top
Officers of his union, called
upon CIO President Murray to
confer Immediately" with AFL
and Railroad Brotherhoods Of
t1clals on plans for a united
fight against the Truman pro-
gram.
Sidney Hillman, head of the
ClO7 Political Action Committee
who had not previously criti-
clzed Truman, condemned the
slave labor bill for giving the
government "the most extreme
and autocratic controls over the
lloertles and democratic rights
OF American workers ever seri-
ously proposed in the history of
our nation"
The storm that rose around
truman failed to bulge him
from his determination to push
Tor the slave law, however. On
Friday, nearly a week after his
address to Congress, he defended
IT and complained that It had
been misunderstood.
Who Sold Truman?
One of the prime mysteries of
the whole matter was the oues-
ton of-who sold Truman on the
whole idea of the legislation. At
first it was thought that the man
responsible was Reconversion
Director John P. Snyder, but
later the finger pointed with
greater certainty to John r.

Columnists Joseph and Stew 4
ard Alsop finally brought theV
charge into the open in a column
which said "The speech and
message were composed by DR..

ers have long had good reason to
believe that Steelman was di-
rectly responsible for the cool
ing off" and "fact-finding" pro-
posals advanced months back by
