Benton Says Reds Sir
War Fear by Bans on
Free Expressions
BY The Asseeiofed Press

PARIS. April William Benton
said today the greatest threat te
world peace Is fear brought about
by Russia's clamp-down on freedom
Of expression.
The former Assistant Secretary oi
State addressed the Anglo american
Press Club here in his capacity as
chairman Of the American delega-
tion to the Freedom Of Information
Conference at Geneva, Switzerland
Fear, stark, elemental fear, is
today the chief threat to peace
Mr.. Benton declared in his prepared
address. He added:
"The Soviet Union and its sat
elites profess to be fearful of the
west. The western powers doubt
and fear the intentions OF the
Soviets. No nation escapes this uni
versal infection. Actions based on
fear set OF the cycle Of greater fears
and even more antagonistic action.
II do not say that the only thing
the world has to fear is fear itself,
because I will not presume to analyze
the motives Of the Soviet govern
ment or Of any other govern
ment. -
But I win presume to say fatty
that had it not been the policy
of the Soviet government to deny
the Russian people the right to
express themselves and to commu-
nicate freely with other peoples,
and to deny the right of other peo-
pies to communicate with them, the
world would not now find itself in
the grip OF such an acute fear
psychosis."
Mr.. Benton said the debate at
the Geneva conference thus far
provides mo hope that the Soviet
Union and its satellites can now be
persuaded to let down the bars to
the free flow Of information"
He did express confidence that
countries not hostile to freedom"
will reach agreement on greater
freedom Of access to news and also
greater freedom in news distribu-
tion.
Mr.. Benton charged that "the
Soviet Union Is in Geneva prima-
rily to create propaganda that, they
hope, will further undermine free
dom of expression in the world"

Progressive Dinner
Each Host Serves One Full Course
BY IDA BAILEY ALLEN

"NEXT Saturday will be Hal
loween," l remarked to the Chef.
ut will be a convenient evening for
entertaining, so let's plan a pro-
gressive dinner for our readers.
The Chef looked puzzled. "The
progressive dinner? do not under
stand, Madame"
. That's a dinner given by two or
three couples who are neighbors.
Each furnishes one course, and
serves it in their own home"
''Do l understand the guests 60
from one house to the next, to eat
each course?" he asked.
That's the idea. Besides being
fun, it divides the expense, the work,
and the clearing up. Each hostess
sets the table for the course she
is to provide, using interesting
Halloween decorations and favors.
After enjoying this course leisurely,
the group progresses to the next
house. Chef, let's plan dinner that
can be prepared ahead Of time; that
will look and taste glamorous, and
still be inside the budget"

Freedom in the Classroom Is
Ideal If It's Not Overdone

Children, who in the primary
grades have not had good practice
in self-control, hardly will evince
the kind of self-control essential to
good learning and cooperation in
the higher grades. Besides, these
same children so accustomed to talk
while the teacher is talking are not
easily guided well in a group out
side school, as of Brownies, Scouts.
Campfire Girls, All Club, church
choir, or Sunday school.
The primary teacher, even the
kindergartner, ought to make sure
that her children learn self-control,
which means that she must practice
adequate control over them, to the
end that they shall turn rather
promptly to quietness when she be-
gins to speak to the entire group
and to direct them in the kind of
learning which requires quietness.
Of course, when children in the
classroom are talking and moving
about in connection with what they
have been doing or making together,
even after they are supposed to have
shifted their attention to something
else. they may not have meant to
be disturbers at all. they may have
merely failed to conform to the pro-
gram at hand.
Now as the Good Book says, there
is time for all things. In the class
room there's a time for fun and
laughter, time for all sorts of free
dom; and there's also a time for
quietness and serious hard work.

By GARRY CLEVELAND MYERS, Ph.D.

TINE was when children in many
schools were supposed to goosestep
through the halls and sit like robots
in the classroom. In reaction to this
earlier practice there has set in an
extreme reaction in the opposite
direction, in many a classroom.
Every child at school should en-
JOY as much freedom as possible, so
long as he exercises self-control and
does not interfere with the freedom
of the other children and the efiici-
ency of the teacher.
In Primary Grades
AS a part Of this new freedom
has come, especially in the primary
grades, emphasis on making and
doing things, not only for stimulat-
ing creative expression but also for
making what the child learns more
interesting and meaningful. Now
when the child is thus working with
his hands there may not be any need
for him to be still and quiet. Indeed,
iS may gam uhuCu 1 IOlll tdihlIlk with
the other children then.
But it is easy to see that a child,
say in the first or third grade, who
talks and moves about freely dur
ing periods of creative activities by
his class will incline to go on talking
after his teacher has attempted to
shift the program to such work as
reading. spelling or number work.
A few very superior teachers are
able to shift rather quickly the at
tention of an entire class or definite
groups Of them from total freedom
of expression to quietness. But the
average teacher hardly does. She
may begin to give directions or make
explanations meant for the entire
group while a number OF tne chill
dren are still talking or moving
about.

Brushed
Hair Is
Healthy
By HELEN FOLLETT

WHEN the permanent wave ar
rived, it seems that the hairbrush
went into retirement. Women got
the idea that grooming weakened
the wave set. Now they have learned
better, and the pupils in the uni-
versal beauty class are getting back
to Grannie's habit Of giving 100
swishes with the brush every night
before saying their prayers. That's
what Grannie did when she was q
young lady.
That brushing is an aid to hair
health goes without saying. The
bristles pluck out dead shafts, give
the glorious crown = house clean
ing. Every shaft that Is removed is
dead; the sooner it is out the better.
If the scalp is in 4 healthy condi-
ton, little fuzzer will appear to
carry on.
Stimulating Eject
Brushing has . stimulating effect
upon the blood streams in the pa
pillae from which silky threads
emerge and from which they receive
food and groceries. After the brush
ing, spread fingers and thumbs over
your head; give the flesh q rousing
mauling.
Unless ones wool is in a healthy
state, the hairdo will not qualify.
The growth should have life and
luster. Hair that is neglected can
look sick abed. 1t won't stay put.
Undulations weaken, ringlets string
out, rolls get skimpy looking. A lit
tie care and all is we'll again.
A Good Brush
Don't economic when buying 4
brush. A poor one is worth nothing
at all. You will find lovely ones in
toilet goods departments these days.
Get reckless, forget the beauty
budget, buy two. Then you will al.
ways have clean one At hand. For
your second brush, you might like
to try a new perfumed one that
gives the hair q pleasant fragrance
as you use it.
When combing your hair after
the shampoo, use the coarse teeth
Of the comb. When arranging your
tresses, use the fine teeth. After
washing brush and comb, place
them in a sunny window.

A Nuisance But
MOI Dangerous
By HERMAN N. BUNDEsEN, MD.

THOUGH not dangerous, some
disorders deserve attention because
they cause a certain amount of dis
comfort and disability. Hemor-
rhoids, or piles, are in this class.
These nuisance-makers are in re-
atty enlarged veins. When located
at the point where the bowel meets
the skin surface, they are known
as external hemorrhoids. Internal
hemorrhoids are found in the lower
part of the rectum. These may be-
come so enlarged that they protrude
through the bowel opening.
Cause Unknown
Just what produces hemorrhoids
is not known; it has been suggested
that straining, when emptying the
bowel, may be a contributing cause.
The symptoms consist of pain
when external hemorrhoids are
present, together with the presence
Of some blood in the bowel move
ment.
The treatment, of course, depends
upon the type of hemorrhoids and
their severity. Some patients are
improved by relieving constipation
with a diet containing plenty of
fluids and a few bulky foods, and
avoiding stimulants such as alco-
holic beverages and highly-seascned
foods. Mineral oil may be taken with
benefit. If there is some tenderness
present, certain ointments may be
applied.
Injection Treatment
II such treatment does not bring
relief, the injection treatment may
be employed. In carrying out the
latter treatment, injections of va RI
Gus substances are given into the
portion Of the vein just under the
lining membrane. This is known as
the submucosa.
Operative measures are employed
in the more severe cases of hemor-
rhoids which may protrude through
the bowel opening and in which
there Is recurrent bleeding.
In carrying out the operation, it
is important to prepare the patient
prior to the operation by the use
Of enemas, and diet low in cough
age but containing plenty of fluids.
After-care is also important in
minimizing pain and discomfort.
A Blood Clot
In the case Of external hemor-
rhoids, particularly when a blood
clot has formed and produces pain,
the usual treatment is operation.
However, II the pain is not severe
and begins to subside, operation
may not be necessary and the treat
ment described above may be used.
II 10 important to remember that
bleeding from the rectum may be
produced by conditions other than
hemorrhoids. It may be q symptom
Of tumor. Hence, whenever this
symptom develops, thorough study
by the physician should be carried
out. Once the cause for the bleeding
Il found, proper treatmen. may be
Immediately employed. If the diff
