The W ashington Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON

m WASHINGTON-T who have sat in on the hectic closed-door conferences over the railroad strike report that it is hard to say who has been sorest at the prima donna tactics of Brother A. F. Whitney, head of the trainmen-Government officials or the other brotherhood leaders who were not striking but were thrown out of work by the trainmen and the locomotive en- gineers
 At one time probably the Presi- dent of the United States was the most irked at the grandstandng MT. Whitney. Truman even had difficulty getting Whitney to stay in Washington. He was constantly threatening to stage an opera exit to Cleveland without even bother ing to advise the White House.
 This brought sharp tongue flashing from the. President during one of their meetings.
 What do you mean to do-walk out on the President of the United States?" Truman roughly inquired of Brother" Whitney.
 2 -No sir" responded Whitney and his voice lacked it's usual 5rusqueness
 .sWell, then you had better stay here until we get this thing settled and try to show little more coop eration,' snapped Truman.

ByrneS LeGUeS Before UN Gold Star Mothers Plea

New York, Nov. ia-(up)-- Amerlcas hope for peace-the plea Of a Gold Star mother whose son died on Sugar Loaf Hill-waS left before the United Nations today by Secretary of State James F. Byrnes.
 A letter, written by a dead Marines mother to Archbishop Francis ], Spellman, was read by Byrnes last night before the Foreign Press Assoclation's din. her rendered the Big Four and United Nations delegates he said it typified the longing of little people everywhere for peace.
 He was young" Mrs. Stanley Schnelle of Olivia, Minn., wrote of her son. "Eighteen--a senior in high school, But in December, l942 he said to me, Nom, this is my fight, I got to go. f no bet- ter than the boy from England or China.

 His father and I let him en. list. He wanted to be a Marine. He had a crooked finger caused by an accident, Time after time he hitch-hiked to Minneapolis trying to enlist. No, that crooked finger kept him out. But they couldn't keep him out. He got into the Marine Corps. He later by the same persistent method got to he a Marine Raider.
 When he left, and that was our last goodbye, he said: Funny.

RH Factor TestUrsed ByDoetor
Recommendation Mode Co Reduce StiIIboFn Bobies

Cleveland, O., Nov. i2-CUP)- Routine testing of all expectant mothers to determine whether they have the RH factor in their blood was recommended today as one way tc reduce the number of stillborn births or babies born with serious blood disease.
 The recommendation was made b. Dr. Louis K. Diamond of Har- ward University, speaking at the 74th annual meeting Of the Amer ican Public Health Association.
 Many hospitals. private physi- clans. and even some state health departments are now performing such tests" he said.
 IS Percent Do Not Have Factor
 Discovery of the RH factor in human blood. however, Is compar- atively new and thousands of ba- bic. die each year as a result of this mysterious defect in some wo- men. It has been estimated that about IS percent of the white popu- lation do not have the RH factor.
 IL is those persons, particularly expectant mothers, who do not have the RH factor for whom precau- tiOns must be taken not only in pregnancy. but in blood transfu- sions Briefly, RH positive and RH negative blood do not mix.
 ''T'he new RH blood type has been proved an important cause of in- tra-group transfusions reactions, particularly when the RH negative recipients are given repeat trans fusions of RH positive blood" pr Diamond said. This blood type is therefore of vital interest to trans f.Asionists and in the management o. blood banks.
 Tt is even of greater importance to maternal welfare and child health"
 Embryo Attacked
 In addition to making routine test on expectant mothers. Dr. Dia- mond also urged that tranSfusions O. even intramuscular blood injec- tio-i of any female child or adult SAtS1sA bC AfOAACA HAt4tOub lyICllIAl- mary RH typing and subsequent use of compatible blood. He furth- CT recommended that a husbands blood should not be used in trans fusions for his wife.
 The Stillborns are usually caused when an RH negative mother re- ceives RH positive blood either from transfusion or from her forming child. This causes the RH negative blood to set up anti-bodies against the invader" and in turn the anti bodies in some cases find their way back to the embryo where they at- tac kthe blood cells of the baby.
 In many cases, the baby is born dead. Tn others it is born alive, but is anemic. Tn first births, how ever. only about one in 20 are af- fected, and this applies only to RH negative women. Some physicians recommend greater spacing between pregnancies as a preventative.

New EngIond Weother To Test Drivers
 MONy Defective
 CoEs Facing
 Winter HoxoFds

Hartford. Conn. Nov, la-New England winter weather will test safe driving ln Connecticut more than ever this year, according to William N. Greene, director of the Highway Safety Commission, be- cause Of the extreme age of tho0s- ands of cars and deterioration of essential winter driving equipment which Is almost impossible to re- place.
 "Connecticut registrations ex- ceeded 550.000 as of october lst," states Mir. Greene in the Cofnfnis~ sion's warning Of Winter driving hazards. The bulk of these cars are old vehicles Spot checkups by inspectors of the Department of Motor Vehicles indicate that fault is found with about 90 per- cent of vehicles tested. This sam bling bears out experience of police chiefs earlier in the year indicat- ing about 100000 motor vehicles in use today have some defect"
 TbeSe vehicles, emphasizes the director, should be serviced now, in preparation for the unusual strain of Winter driving. Essential Win- ter equipment such as chains or other devices to give traction on Snow-covered streets and highways or slippery surfaces, defrosting equipment, windshield wiperS, heat CTS, etc, should be tested and put in condition for emergency needs.
 A survey by Carl R. Lane of the Connecticut Automotive Trades As- sociation, made for the Highway Safety Commission, indicated scar city of Winter driving accessories. MT. Greene suggests that motorists have tire chains repaired to be available in case of sudden storm; defroSterS services, windshield wip- CTS tested and blades replaced, and have heaters conditioned so that cars will be comfortable for Winter driving. He warns motor- ists that Connecticut generally re- cords a snowstorm in November; often it is a sudden downfall of wet, heavy snow affecting safe driving. So motorists should be prepared for such an eventuality, he adds.

sion, Drs. Howard B. Shookoff and Wheelan D. Sutliff, of the Tropical Disease Diagnositic Service of New York City, estimated that many thousands" of war veterans may have returned with latent malaria in their systems.
 Malaria at Top
 They said that during a l3-month period ending Sept. 30, l946. their service tested l,l5l veterans, in- cluding eight women. and found that 3s2. or 34 percent, had some form of tropical disease.
 Malaria led the list.
 Their study showed that many of the men had been taking atabrine overseas and as soon as they stop- pe5, malaria resulted. This came usually in about 30 days after no more atarbine was taken.
 pr. Russell M. Wilder Of the Mayo Clinic, Rochester. Minn, urged that public health officials take the lead in a program to in- dEce legislatures to enact laws re- quiring enrichment of white flour, bread and rolls.
 The wartime food order which had made enrichment Of white bread and rolls mandatory was re- voked last month, he said Wilder advocated passage of enrichment legislation in all states with added provisions to include white flour.
