Characterization Delayed

The War Department announced the other day that 1t had taken important steps to carry out the Jimmy Doo little boards recommendations for making the Army more democratic We hope for certainly seems time some thing done.
 it's report last May. Immediate action to be taken to eecuate the recommendations for it understood that only thus could the Army be made attractive to Amer and therefore, only in that could enlstments be brought to the desired high level
 Yet for well a month nothing done. The re- port had been taken under avsemen the War Department working it; announcement might be made at any time But in the familiar Army way of delaying the un officially undesirable the just couldn't to get of the talking stage and into the sphere of positive ac tion
 Then at long last it happened Secretary of War Rob- F. Patterson issued orders eliminating the necessity o enlisted mans sautng officers while outside military reservation and permitting enlisted men and officers to nm gle socially while off duty Enlisted men and officers were henceforth the uniform, tooalthough that order strangely enough not to be put into effect unt 1948
 great deal of favorable publicity rightly greeted the announcement The orders definitely struck vital blow at the military system and in conjunction with the gen. pay increase provided by Congress- they unquesto ably would speed enlistments.
 Several weeks later however, NEA Service cores pendent touring of the largest Army installations in the United States reported that not of the hundreds or enlisted with whom he had talked had been officially n- formed of the Patterson characterization orders which were have gone into effect at Soldiers still severely Eeprimanded for failing salute officers in town, he wrote md he could find evidence of association between enlisted men and officers during of-duty hours.
 Enlistd men, informed of the regulations by the fEA reporter Sald that they were Just ouHch ol io up by the brass hats to enstments Ana the commanding officer of Fort Bennng Ga scenes to see MO the oes openly opposed them with the words I don't why should do anything Tn peace in the Army which is bad practice in war
 Apparently then, the War Department simply try ing to kid potential enstee with the strangely unentorced regulations But inevitable, it kidded only itself Alert reporting and the friendly advice of fellows already in warned prospects, and enstmens continued to lag Now perhaps the Army has decided to make it's promises good It's high time for the international stua ton and foreign commitments unquesonaby require the military strength which only more democratic Army can acquire.

COP. Carpet-Baggers

Carroll Reece, chairman of the Republican National Party is riding the political stump like the Four Horsemen the Apocalypse His latest resurrection of the old baggers cry the Negroes of America that the Democratic Party Twill return them to the bonds of slavery
 Speaking in Buffalo Chats far north son) before the Negro Improved Order of Ek Reeee charges that the Red Fascist in the Democratic Party will exploit the members of the coored He asks that these people abandon the Democratic Party favor of the Republican
 The national COP chairman apparently has little re- spect for the intelligence of the Negro people, Someone should tell him that the days of the lowcomedy act when the coored supposed to flee in terror of boogey men, fast disappearing from the American scene To- day the intelligent Negro citizen of this country is much an asset any citizen of equal ability and is fully capable of making his way and against unfair odds that would dis courage most men.
 Attempts to frghen minority groups into panicky con- clusons is hardly the America It IS not the way sought by Abraham Lincoln solution to the problems o1 the members of the Negro Carroll Reece and his Re- publican cohorts should bring themselves up-to-date

in the American information division of the Foreign Office to obtain the necessary priority The young lady most cooperative and said she would be glad to do what she could for me. Even with her sup port, however, 1t proved impossible to get cabin either of those two ships both of which still controlled by the Government.
 So, in reality the right of Englishman to travel freely does not exist today. In fact, he travel only he has the blessing Of officiadom and, even then, it is by certain.
 The ship Queen Elizabeth is not controlled by the Government She is more being operated by
 private line. had difficulty in obtaining modations on the Queen Elizabeth. Unfortunately however her refting has taken longer than expected and her maiden trip has been postponed beyond the last date which it is possible for to sail.
 So I've arranged to fly. It useless to approach British Overseas Airways they, too controlled by the state. They always have immense waiting lists with limited accommodations reserved for civil wants and bureaucrats. Perhaps. With Government priority might have got reservation. It is simpler however. to fly by American airline, I rang up American Export Airlines They merely said Which day do you want to go?" said, The 30th of September" They said Fine"

QUESTIONS and ANSWERS
 EDileDSy

My sister is engaged to young man whose father had epilepsy. Is it hereditary? (Mrs. E. HO
 AnsWer-Only a few instance of direct inheritance of epilepsy. Many epileptic parents have normal chil- dren. Your doctor with full knowledge of the young mans fam fly history can best advise you.
 Vitamins and Weight
 Kindly tell me whether the taking of vitamins, such as B-complex and D, has tendency to increase weight. (Mrs. c. W.)
 AnsWer-Yes, if the individual is underweight; not if the individual is overweight. Overweight persons tend to reduce to normal if they get adequate amounts of the essential vitamins (more D and B-compleX, for inStnace, than the majority of people can get in ordinary every day diet). If they take vitaminS day in, day out. the year around, that is. Vitamins are not medicine and it is rarely or never worth while to take" or "try" them for a few days or weeks; eat theo2 regularl, as food, if you use them at all.

wise. In many cases this really gives the "tonic" effect the old time doc tors tried to believe digitails gave, in my opinion - remember, this is merely my opinion and. I arrived at it almost entirely on the basis of the experience reported in current medical literature by physicians in many parts of the world.
 Whatever your heart trouble may be, if you are not under the care of a physician, don't get into the habit of moving about as though you expect to pop out any minute. Patients who have had one or more anginal incidents or perhaps bout or two with thrombosis seem just a little ridiculous to me when they take to walking on eggs and avoid ing every little activity that makes life worth living. There is no evil dence that such morbid, cheerless existence prolongs the life of the heart disease victim a single day. On the contrary there is some evil dence that a reasonable amount of physical activity, work, play, exer- else conduces to greater longevity for heart disease subjects.
 Another thing, for goodness sake don't let your heart disease spoil your enjoyment of cup or two of good coffee with breakfast every morning, if you care for it. Particu- larly don't let your obsession against coffee deprive other members of your household of the beneficent beverage. Mind, say good coffee that does not mean boiled coffee.

Monkeying With Digtalis Not Urged by Dr. Brady

In the little lesson CVD-heart and artery trouble-for copy send ten cents and stamped self address ed envelop-there is a chapter titled "Never Mind Your Blood Pressure. /" In it do not tell in detail most of the things I do not tell every day in correspondence with readers who do tell me they have high blood pressure. They might just as well tell me they have wild nights and bad days. Or some of their own teeth. There is nothing in par ticular I can tell any one with high blood pressure unless I have exam ined the individual myself.
 Now if you have some kind of heart trouble, that's easier. It doesn't matter what kind of trouble it may be, if any, I'll take your word for it.
 Should you or should you not take digitalis? If you are under the care of a physician you had better do as your physician says about that. I would if were under the doctors care, I can tell you'd even try to eat a plate of mashed potato and take a beaker of castor oil or almost anything the doctor might think needed.
 If you are not under medical care, then I advise you not to monkey with digitaliS.
 | Whether you are under medi- cal care or not I advise you to take a good daily ration of vitamin B complex every day in the year, with each dose of digitalis if you take digitalis, once or twice daily other

Of Atoms and Insects
by Peter Eds0n

plant what chance has man2
 Ehtomologists at the Department of Agriculture like to say they're making progress in mans endless against the insects. And they can point to a couple of where insect pests actually been destroyed
 First the Mediterranean fruit fly which found its way into Florida 1929 and 193O By quar- antining Florida and destroying it's entire fruit crop they actually finished off the fruit fly By 1881 it had ceased to exist as American pest.
 Then there the date palm scale that hit California By dint of spraying the trees with kero sene and setting fire to them the scale destroyed
 These entomologists say the boil weevl could be similarly destroyed if everybody would agree not to grow single cotton plant for one year. All the Weevils would starve to death, and it would them right, too, for having dared to the U. S. border from Mexico way back in 1892 In 40 years they reached Virginia taking easy and eating their way they went.
 But you just imagine how much of a howl would out of the South anyone proposed pass ing law to prohibit the growing of cotton for even one year That's where the insects have the advantage over the atom in this race to destroy civilization.
 The inSect-experts aren't bit discouraged. how They say that insects have been here since long before the days of the Old Testament and Aristotle Modern, scientific economic entomology, on the other hand has been here less than 50 years
 No perfect insecticide could be found in that tme Of course. But the entomoogsts are constantly discovering new ones and making improvements on the old.
 and hoping they'll get kill-aN cure-all for insects ii 1t takes Is or 800 years After all the atom was finally split The law of nature which says there have to be insects may be busted, too.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1946-08-28

WASHINGTON, Aug 28-(NEA(-You can walk right up to the line citizens pay your money and take your choice to whether civilization will be destroyed by atomic bombs or by insects.
 There lot of large talk, right after the discovery of DOT, about how mans battle against the bugs won at last There even scare stories, right after DOT sprayed all Saipan, biological desert, where there would be bees to do their stuff with the flowers and nothing would grow. It hasn't worked out that way at all.
 DOT can't kill bugs that have crawed in a hole and it can't kill the eggs for next years crop of insects. It can't be used on cucumber and melon vines It will kill of the two varieties of horn that nfes tobacco plants, but the other variety of horn worm seems to get fat it. It will kill the coddlng moth that makes apples worry, but it makes Uhe apples taste if they had been kept in storage in the bottom hold of tramp steamer making a slow cruise around the world
 Then take what DOT does and doesn't do to the greatest insect pest of them all-the cotton boil Weevil This has been the year for boil weevils since 1941. mild Winter enabled many of last years Weevils to survive. mild Summer, with plenty of rain and long, hot dry-spels, except in spots of Texas and Oklahoma, has made them thrive.
 This seasons insect history, reported from the Waco, Tex, experiment station to the Department of Agriculture's Bureau of Entomology gives faint idea of what the cotton farmers have been up against
 The crop started with an infection of feahoppers Then came the Weevils. Then the aphids The honey dew given off by the aphids attracted and fed the moths of the predatory boil
 Applications of DOT, to kill off the boil worms apparently destroyed other predatory insects which feed on red spiders. So the windup is a plague of red spiders, to say nothing of abundance of cotton leaf worm. When six insects gang up cotton

Today in Europe

LONDON-Britain's Foreign Secretary Ernest Revin recently declared, What want is that every be able to travel where he ikes Sincere in this aspiration he has repeatedly stated in public and in private, that before he leaves the Foreign Office he hopes will be possible for any Englishman to buy ticket to any destination in the world without either passport visa.
 MT. Bevin gave practical proof of his good in- tentionS when, some months ago, he abolished the exit permit which, up to then, every British subject had to obtain from the Government before he could go abroad Unfortunately, Government officials in great numbers in different ministries far less b eral in their outlook than MT Bevin Although nom- inaly the exit permit has been abolished it has been re-introduced sub rosa" in the retention of the system of travel priorities In reality, result of the shortage of accommodations both ships and aircraft, one can travel without the blessing of Government depar tnent.
 I under contract to arrive in New York early in October to undertake six months lecture tour would have liked to sail either the Queen Mary or tine Aquitania. But both these ships, many weeks in advance, were reported to be booked to pacity by United Nations delegates, and they both have long waiting lists of woud-b passengers
 My secretary therefore approached young lady

us, especially since we are still mak- ing bombs and preparing for future war.
 On the other hand our possession of this mightiest of war clubs may have inspired many of us to in- dulge in the cockSure notion, that we just don't have to get along with the Russians and now that the war is over we can return to the pre- Atom Age hatred and agitation against those whom we so recently praised and co-operated with during our life-an-death struggle with Fas- cism. Indeed our present monopoly on the Atom Age secret may well lead us into these notions of delu- sion and folly.
 Perhaps this is not our intention at all. But if one looks objectively at the situation, he can easily see why, in the face of our huge mil- tary budgets and our continuation of the A-bomb making the Rus sians are behaving so disappointing ly.
 It is all too regrettable that the A-bomb has come into the picture to snarl up our postwar relations. Without the Western Allies monop- olizing the secret of the Bomb, a greater willingness to cooperate in establishing the peace might pos Sibly prevail at the conference tables.
 The solution, in that event, is to destroy the threat of the Bomb by internationalizing the secret and outlaWing the Bomb itself.
 Perhaps then the nations can sit down and work out the peace that all the world cries out for, as parch- ed land cries for rain.
 As the first step toward securing the peace, there should be declared cooling off period, of say 25 years, during which all military activities including the preparation for war should be suspended, and during which all unscrapped military equip ment should be turned over to an international organization to be held in trusteeship.
 On the positive side, I would sug- gest that all nations pledge them- selves to spend one-tenth of what they would have spent on military budgets to fight Mans common en- emies; disease, filth, vermin, fear famine, intolerance, prejudice, race and national hatreds and bigotries These are both the seeds and fruits of war.
 It might be well also to call g moratorium on the sordid business ot reading evil motives into every ques- tionable act, international incidents and conference table difference This over -dramatization serves tt keep the people in constant state of war jitterS-a very unfavorablt climate for establishing an effective peace.
