This and That
Bu Charles E. Trace1Dell.

Templeton Jones was in bad mood.
The trip downtown seemed twice as
long as usual.
People offended him. He didn't like
their looks, and he resented their
manners, or, rather, lack of them.
People getting on the bus took more
time than they should. The children
were the worst of all. They dawdled.
Jones kept track of the getting on
and getting off. Each person took a
full two seconds, whereas one second,
in Jones' opinion-and also the drivers
would have been enough.
Templeton Jones did not feel the
need of psychiatrist.
He knew that this mood of his was
purely the sign of an oncoming cold,
unless he acted quickly.
Every one, Jones believed, should
find out in himself the prior signs OF
a common cold, so that quick steps
can be taken against it.
These signs are both mental and
physical.
1t is not every one, Jones thought
with some little pride, who has enough
Sense to realize that mental signs of
a cold are quite as apparent as the
physical ones, if one studies his own
case.
"KnoW thyself," said the ancients.
1t was, and is, a good idea, according
to Templeton Jones, man about town.
1t begins with realizing that physical
complaints always have mental reper-
cussions, too.
BY self-study, any one may find out
what the ''blues" mean in his own case.
Quite often they will reveal the on
set of some common malady, long before
any physical symptoms of the trouble
are visible.
"a man is either fool or his own
physician by the time he is &c." said
another old saw.
The old proverbs, sayings, saws, max
inns, embody great deal of folk wisdom.
It is possible, at least according to
Jones, to do something about ones
own troubles, without either bothertng
a doctor or ones self.
Jones has a few other tipoffs about
his own colds.
One is desire for extra rations of
breadstuffs.
If he catches himself longing for
bread or cake or cookies, with slightly
more than normal insistence, he knows
from past experience that he is threat
ened.
The thing to do, then?
Jones knows that it is to SteadfaStly
refuse to eat any of these foods.
The temptation, however, is large.
and our hero often fails. But he knows
in advance what will happen. That is
something.
The common sense of humanity is
embodied In hundreds of "wise say
ings"; the trouble comes in the per-
sonal application.
Templeton Jones puzzled. for years,
as many another has, over the old one,
Feed a cold and starve a fever"
Every one who has tried it knows that
feeding cold" is the worst thing
you can do about it.
So did common sense err?
Templeton Jones thinks it didn't.
but that a comma was dropped out.
The maxim should read, Feed cold,
starve fever"
In other words, what the ancientS
were trying to tell us was that If you
feed cold, you will end up by being
forced to starve fever.
Starve the cold, at least for "a hours,
Jones advises, If you want to get rid
of it.

Russiu Moves Forward

Some of the f1rst-glance inter-
pretations of Russia's atomic pro-
posals have overemphasized the
area of disagreement between those
proposals and the essentials of the
American control plan. Actually,
the encouraging fact is that the
latest Soviet views, as presented by
Mr.. Gromyko to the Security Coun-
Gil, seem substantially closer to ours
than the Soviet views of the past.
In several important respects, of
course, the Russian position still
falls far short of the recommended
tionS in the report of the United
Nations Atomic Energy Commission.
This report-which was adopted by
a 10-to-0 vote, with the Soviet and
Polish delegates abstaining - in
dorsed the key principles of the
American plan. These call for Cd
a powerful world authority, CD
effective agencies of supervision and
inspection unhampered by the veto
of any nation, and 90 vetoless and
swift punitive system for violations.
They call also for step-by step pro-
cedures to time the sharing of pres
ent-day secrets and the disposal of
A-weapons with the actual estab-
.lishment of the different phases of
control. AS regards such timing,
Mr.. Gromyko's amendments and
additions are in sharp conflict with
the American-AEC proposals. They
are in sharp conflict, too, with our
stand regarding punishment. Where
punishment is concerned, the
Russians still want the veto.
But this area of disagreement
large as it is-ought not to over
shadow the significance of the area
of agreement. If Mr.. Gromyko's
words mean anything, the Soviet
Union has advanced considerably
toward our views and the views of
the overwhelming majority of the
Atomic Energy Commission. To
appreciate this, one has only to keep
in mind that as recently as last
summer, in their first proposals for
control, the Russians appeared to
favor little more than treaty out
lawing A-weapons. Since then, how
ever, the grim realities of the prob
lem apparently have convinced them
that extraordinary and unprece-
dented international machinery will
be needed to effectuate such
treaty. At any rate, through Mr..
Gromyko, for the first time formally
and specifically, they have now
agreed in principle not merely to
powerful world authority but to
vetoless policing system under which
the authority's representatives
would enjoy "unimpeded rights of
ingress, egress and access for the
performance of their inspections
and other duties into. from and
within the territory of every partic-
ipating nation, unhindered by ma
tional or local authorities"
This represents noteworthy prog
ress. Nothing in the American con-
troll plan is quite so crucial and far
reaching as the proposal for vetoless
supervision and inspection. Veto
less punitive machinery-though
important-seems clearly to be Sec
ondary to it. The Russians have
moved forward such a good distance
in supporting it that there seems
reason to hope they will yet agree
to suspending the veto on punish
ment. 1t may be a matter of years
before their views are reconciled
with ours on this and other points,
but at least we may say now that
they are edging nearer to us. The
world can be enheartened by that.

Aid for Alcoholics
To the Editor OF The Star:
May I take this opportunity to con-
graduate The Washington Star on the
splendid series of articles which have
been presented by George Kennedy.
The articles were most comprehensive
and informative on this provocative
subject, and it is my hope that every
body in the District of Columbia in
terested in this pressing problem had
the opportunity of reading the articles.
AS you know, hearings will be held on
Monday on the bill which I have intro
duced providing for the establishment
of an Alcoholic Clinic in the District of
Columbia. have heard no serious OBJ
lection to the bill and it is my hope
that the committee will report it out
and that it will be sent to the Senate
shortly.
Your paper has performed meritori-
GUS service.

Time for Comedy
BY the Associated Press

HOLLYWOOD.
The old master of the comedies,
Hal Roach, not long ago made a
14,0oO-mile survey to determine the
Nations amusement needs.
Returning, he rushed into produc-
ton to meet what he called neg
lected demand for more comedy.
The result was Comedy Carnival"
a coupling of two comedy shorts
one for adults, one for children. The
difference between these and the
old comedies is twofold. First they
cost lis about six times as much to
make as the old tWo-reelerS. Second,
they will be presented, with a news
reel, as a full-length feature pro-
gram.
At the press review, even case
hardened critics laughed. If the
public laughs, too, Roach has two
more ready to go.

of the play who found so many ex-
citing ways of learning about life
without being furnished by them.
The idea was that when Miss Sui
lavan chose to stop playing Sally,
the comedy would be completely de-
energized.
Well, THE Voice of the Turtle" is
now four, going on five, and whole
squadron of actresses has played
Sally since. One of the best of the
lot, and that does not exclude Miss
SULLIVAN, turned up at the National
last night in the happy guise OF
Haila Stoddard. Miss Stoddard
plays Sally WITH spirit that quite
denies the character its rightful
claim to having grown bit tired
with the years.
In fact, she not only keeps Sally'S
piquancy fresh, but she did it despite
a remarkable lack of cooperation
from an off stage crew that missed
more signals than an illiterate ALL
America backf1eld. 1t might not
even be amiss to keep in the
tempestuous spot of comedy by
which Miss Stoddard let it be known
just what she thought of the whole
business.
Apart from Miss Stoddard's zestful
retrieving, The Voice of the Turtle"
does have a somewhat shopworn
look. The set looks as If it had been
lived in, but by quite nice people,
and the situation is naturally retro
spective. There is no gainsaying-
even by an expert gainsayer-that
the romantic customs illustrated
with such disarming bedside man
ners were those of the war.
Last leaves" and "48-hour passes"
have lost their old sense of urgency,
and regardless of what goes on on
the stage, the feeling of understand
ing requires more effort on the part
of the audience.
Naturally, too, there have been
four years of repetition of what Sally
said to Bill, and what he said to her.
This has had the effect of rubbing
the urbane polish off many of the
plays best laugh lines.
1t would be remiss, however, Of
any one who has not become &C
quainted with this delicately indeli-
cate weekend romance to overlook
it now. And those who like to see
what a facile actress can do with
a veteran comedy character might
very we'll return for study of Miss
Stoddard.
Her associates in the three-char-
acter play are Sheila Bromley and
Philip Faversham Miss Bromley is
a suitably lively imitation OF Olive
Lashbrooke, Sally'S actress friend
who never had any scruples about
manly men. And, Faversham, son
of William, makes Sergt. Page a
Princetonly charming collaboration
of Sally on that week end.
