The Verdict At
Ceramic Sunday.
Is Film PuzzIer

Promising much in the way of
an unusual film puzzle is Warner
Bros newest mystery drama, "The
Verdict" scheduled to open Sunday
at the Ceramic Theater. Starring
Sydney Greenstreet, Peter Loore
and Joan Lorring, the film revolv-
es around Scotland Yards breath
taking search for a murderer in
the dismal, gas-lit streets of Lon
don in 1890.
Based on a novel by Israel Zang-
will, "The Verdict" presents Sgd
ney Greetstreet in the role of Sup
erintendent Grodman of Scotland
Yard, venerable officer of the law
whose conscientiousness is surpass-
ed only. by his integrity. When his
jealous subordinate, Buck y
George Coulouris), turns up evi-
dence to prove that Grodman has
been responsible for the hanging
of an innocent man, Grodman re-
signs reluctantly and Buckley
steps into the position with obnox-
ious alacrity. 1t is not long before
another puzzling murder turns up
and the newly appointed Superin-
tendent bids fair to repeat the
same miscarriage of justice by con-
victing another innocent man. But
he is happily saved from his error
when Grodman applies his substan-
tial experience at the task at hand
and eventually brings justice to
bear.

THE CHILD KILLER

Add up the total number of
childhood deaths each year from
infantile paralysis, whooping
cough, diphtheria, scarlet fever,
measles and meningitis. Multiply
the heart rending sum by five. The
awful total is still less than the
number of children dying each
year from rheumatic fever and
rheumatic heart disease.
Rheumatic fever is far and away
the most menacing child killer and
child crippler in America. 1t causes
80 per cent of all heart disease in
children. 1t is the leading cause of
all deaths during school years.
There are today an estimated one
million sufferers from rheumatic
fever, actually more than the total
number of tuberculosis cases.
The disease is most common in
the north and east. 1t does its work
in cold damp homes, in overcrowd-
ed tenements, in slum areas hidden
from bright sunlight. Upper in
come groups are by no means inn
mune, but rheumatic fever is most
ly a disease of poverty and of
wretched living conditions.
What is rheumatic fever? Not
too much is known about it, which
is one reason it is such an uncon-
trolled menace. Here is a sad ex-
ample of the need for a planned
research in this country.
Millions of the public's money,
derived largely through the March
of Dimes appeal, are spent on polio
each year Rheumatic fever makes
bedridden invalids and semi-crip-
Piles just as surely as wasted mus
cles and bones, and death is much
more often the outcome. Yet
scarcely 100000 a year is spent
on its study.
1t is known that some type of
germ enters the body and sets up
an infection which causes acute
frequent relapses, long in
or early death. Usually a
severe sore throat sets the stage
for the rheumatic infection, which
begins a few weeks later with all
the signs of serious fever.
The bones and joints may be
painfully affected as in arthritis,
the skin may show a peculiar rash,
or the disease may take the form
of est. Vitus' Dance" Far too |
often the heart is damaged, and |
then the most tragic part of the |
disease begins.
About 80 per cent of all rheu- |

groups are trying to throw down
propaganda smokescreen behind
which they hope to prejudice the
outcome of the back pay suit in
the now-famous Mt. Clemens port
al-to-portal case.
That was the accusation of CIO
General Counsel Lee Pressman
Jan. a as he announced the nation
al ClO would seek a supporting
case to the federal district court
now deciding on the amount of
back pay due the workers, fellow
ing the directions of the u. S. su-
preme Court issued last October.
Contrary to the popular i'm
preston which has been deliberate
ly stimulated by wild propaganda"
Pressman said, "the Supreme
Court did not impose a flat liabili-
ty in connection with all classes of
activity which it held to constitute
working time. The court explicitly
ruled out trivial and insignificant
work periods, and held that 1T is
only when an employee is requir-
ed to give up a substantial meas
ure of his time and effort that
compensate work time is involv-
ed"
"There may be some groups in
America who feel strongly that
workers should be required to give
up substantial periods of leisure to
their employers without compen-
sation. What these groups insist
upon is that American industry
enjoy a free subsidy of the effort
of its employees. 1t is this insis-
tence which forms the true founda-
tion of the present frenzied and ir-
responsible attacks upon the Su-
preme Court, upon the Fair Labor
Standards Act and upon American
labor.

Senator Urges
Constituents To
DrdW Up Demands

New York (FP) - New York S
first American Labor party state
senator, Kenneth Sherbell, takes a
negotiator's view of his new job.
Sherbell, who was employment and
welfare director of Local 65,
Wholesale & Warehouse Workers
Union before his election, calls
himself a negotiating committee
of one to represent the membership
of our union and the people of my
district"
Accordingly, on the eve of his
departure for Albany, he called on
his constituents to draw up their
demands. He proposed that each of
the 10 industry divisions compris-
ing Local 65 join in working out a
legislative program. Suggestions
will also be made by members
through the unions newspaper,
Union Voice During January the
10 Representatives will meet with
Sherbell and draft a program for
adoption by the unions next gen.
eral council meeting.
81 am certin," Sherbell said,
"there will be no contradiction be-
tween the demands Of the people in
my district, and the demands of
Local 65 membership since ] cam
paigned among the people of my
community not as an individual,
but as representative of Local 65,
on the program of Local So, and as
such was elected"
: Meanwhile, he has been appoint
ed to new post in the union itself.
He will be the unions public af-
fairs and community activities di-
rector.

Daily meetings will be held, ac-
cording to the Retail Clerks Union,

ers Relations Council agrees to the
demand. Highest offer from en-

the answer to this problem is a
question which will require fur
ther study"
The same is true, he said, OF
Truman's recommendation on Sec
ondary boycotts and compulsory
arbitration of disputes over inter
probation of existing collective bar
gaining contracts.
"Hasty and ill-considered action
by Congress in a spirit of revenge
will accomplish more harm than
good" Green said.
The remaining points of Tru-
mans program, the AFL leader
said, "are virtually in full agree
ment with the AFL's established
policies" Among the Truman rec
concentrations which Congress has
ignored in the past Green listed:
1.-Extension and i'm prov e.
ment of Labor Department facili-
ties for assisting collective bar
gaining.
"A program of increased So
cial security benefits, a compre-
hensive housing program, a ma
tional health program and a high
er minimum wage.
3.-A congressional study of the
causes of labor-management dis
putes.
Green warned, however, that the
trade union movement must con-
slider two main questions before
making any final commitment on
the Truman program, namely:
whether Congress will hack the
program to pieces, and 'limit their
actions to the passage of restric-
tive legislation, perhaps far more
sweeping than the president sug-
gests;" and "just how far the
president intends to carry the
fight for his program as a whole" Z"

Liberty Loshes
Luce LooSenesS

New York (FP)-The looseness
of the Luce publications came in
for blast from Liberty magazine
here in the issue of Jan. II.
1t isn't often the slick maga-
zines sling mud at each other
They're usually too vulnerable to
pitch the first pitch. But Liberty
loosed long-needed blast at
Henry Luce's slick, antilabor Time
and Life magazines.
"Time magazine" said Liberty
publisher Paul Hunter, (which pur-
ports to present news, prints much
that is neither Informative, cor
structive, nor 'factual. In short,
much of it isn't news at all but
merely journalistic exhibitionism
or, more simply smart-aleckness.' y
Attacking Times Chronic mac
curacy," Hunter pointed out that
"often Time is compelled to de-
vote fully three fourth of its let
ters column to the correction of
past misstatements."
"Time," he said, "has demon
strated all too often the harm it
can do through its preference for
the poor pun and the snide wise
crack over straightforward factual
reporting"
Denouncing the Bright Young
Men who put out the Time and
Life publications, Hunter declared:
"No group of young men, no mat
ter how bright, can have quite the
Godlike qualities which Time al
locates to itself. Nor can they
speak for God, as Times young
men unhestitatingly presume to do
on occasion"

FIGHT FOR HEALTH

/ matte children have heart disease
within ten years after the onset of
the Infection and 20 per cent die
within that time. With good treat
ment of milder cases, however, re-
covery can be complete.
After the early acute siege, the
disease may become chronic and
require long months in hospitals
and convalescent homes. Recur-
rences of the acute disease are
frequently in youthful years. Chill
dren with rheumatic fever often
show signs of interference with
growth and nutrition, being sickly,
pale and easily tired.
Treatment consists mostly of
rest in bed. The modern sulfa
drugs and penicillin are able to
control more and more of the
streptococcus throat infections
that precede rheumatic fever.
There are also the usual pain kill
ing and fever relieving medicines,
and the regular treatments for
heart failure. But rest and nursing
care until all signs of rheumatic
activity have gone are still the
mainstays of the doctors program.
Since the course is such a long
one, it is all important that school
work be carried on with the sick
children, that pleasant occupations
and training for special types of
work be taught those invalided by
the heart disease.
The proper management of rheu-
matte fever is expensive and COM
pleX. 1t calls for far more social
organization of clinics, hospitals,
and convalescent homes, and of
specialists, nurses, social workers,
and teachers, than is available to-
day.

Restriction of Monopoly-A cal

grams, and credit powers.
Observation-Disclosures legis-
lation is urgently required, similar
to the non-partisan bill passed by
the Senate last year. The ref
ference was to the Wagner Ellen
der-Taft long-range housing meas
ure. Truman said: THE primary
responsibility to deliver housing at
reasonable prices that veterans can
afford rests with private industry
and labor"
Health - Truman asked Con-
gress "to complete the work began
last year." (to pass the Wagner
Murray Dingell health billy "to
provide adequate medical care for
all who need it."
Veterans-"Except for minor ad-
justments, / believe that our pro-
gram of benefits for veterans is
now complete"
Civil Rights am not convin-
ced that present legislation reaches
the limits of federal power to pro-
tect the civil rights of its citizens"
but he held proposals pending a
study and report by the Presidents
Committee on Civil Rights.

The report reminded Congress
that there are no controls over
the timing of state and local gov
ernment construction jobs, and
they "are at liberty to start build
ing projects in a period of rising
prices, labor shortage and material
scarcities, or they can defer them.
The choice is theirs and it can only
be hoped that they will practice
sufficient restraint to avoid inflat-
ing the construction market, and
use their plans instead to help
stabilize construction"
