Washingt N, Oct. 2s-(R)-Life
in Washington can be pretty
complex even for a congressman.
Take Rep. Gathings CD of Ar
kansas.
All Gathings wants is to have
his office telephone listed as
National 3120-the- number by
which the Capitol and all Con-
gressional offices can be reached.
Like all Congress members,
Gathings has two National 1920
extensions in his office. And like
most others he has still another
office ~ >phone-his is District
4e75 s6ag Is the one the tele-
phone directory lists. And Gath
ings pays the BILL.
Why not, he thought, just list
the Capitol number - at the
standard extra listing fee of rs
cents a month-and do away
with the other telephone He'd
pay the six bits and still save
around S. a month.
Sounds simple, eh?
That's what Gathings thought.
But he's been working on the
project for weeks and hasn't
gained an inch.

actions in the Security Council

power quarrel over Berlin, but
Russia vetoed their proposed
compromise Monday.)
Those gentlemen are OBJ
viously lending their support to
a policy of aggression-to po-
Icy Of unleashing a new war;"
Stain asserted.
"The point is" Stain went
on, that the inspirers of the ag-
gressive policy of the United
Statese Of America and Britain
do not consider themselves in
terested in agreement and CO.
operation with the U.S.S.R.
They want not agreement
and cooperation but talk about
agreement and cooperation, in
order to thwart agreement, to
throw the blame on the U.S.S.R,
and. by so doing, prove the i'm
possibility Of cooperation with
the U.S.S.R.
"The instigators Of war, who
are striving to unleash a new.
war, fear more than anything
else agreement and cooperation
with the U.S.S.R., since a po-
Icy Of agreement with the
U.S.S.R. undermines the posi-
tions OF the war nongers and
deprives the aggressive policy Of
these gentlemen Of It's objective.
Precisely for this reason they
disrupt agreements already
reached, disavow their repre-

such agreements with the

where they possess an assured
majority and where they can
prove anything.
"Al this is done In order to
demonstrate the impossibility of
cooperating with the U.S.S.R..
to demonstrate the necessity Of
a new war, and thus prepare
the conditions for the unleash

leaders Of the United States and

Boon for Adults

What you breathe as we'll as what
you eat and drink helps to preserve
your teeth.
Scientific studies have shown that
fluorine applied directly to the teeth
or added to drinking water results in
a decline in tooth decay.
This week two research scientists
reported that a study of men who
work in gas laden atmosphere sup
plies additional evidence that 1uorine
is beneficial to teeth. Although re-
search has shown that fluorine aids
teeth of children under IL, there had
been no previous evidence that it
could halt tooth decay in adults.
In study for the Manhattan Atomic
Project, scientists found only half the
normal tooth decay in a group of men
actively engaged in the production. of
hydrofluoric acid. Teeth of these ex-
posed workers were compared with
those of Office workers and other EN-.
plOyes in the same plant.
Writing in The Journal of the
American Dental Association, Drs. Pc
ter P. Dale and H. B. McCauley of the
Rochester School of Dentistry said:
Little or no active carries decay
was found in subjects exposed to hy-
drOfuOric acid. This finding was made
in spite of the fact that most of the
men neglected their mouths and EN-
ployed little or no oral hygiene"
