AIIergy Causes Poor Students

York University College of
Medicine, says that a finger
nail test and X-rays can often
help children overcome aller-
gies. These tests spot physical
troubles that weaken the child's
resistance to the allergy chain
reaction, he says. Overcoming
these troubles helps junior to
resist attacks. Of course, the
main defense still is to avoid
the offending foods, he says.
Treat Early
DR. Rather feels that if aller-
gic children are treated early,
there will be fewer cases of al
lergies in adults. The earlier
treatment is started, the easier
relief can be obtained.
Speaking of food, mother
should realize that juniors need
for it may vary from one meal
to another, from one age to an
other, from one seaso to an
other, says Miss Ann Usher, in
the magazine. Better Homes
and Gardens.
Your baby knows when he is
hungry. He also knows when
he has had enough. And he can
signal, too, when he wants more
of something. He'll eat the right
amounts for his individual
needs at his age, she says.
Don't stuff him full of foods
he doesn't want, she warns.
You may turn him into a poor
eater. You may find that in his
first year, junior eats like a
Trojan. Now he doesn't. That's
nothing to worry about. It may
be because he isn't growing as
fast in his second year, she says.
In his first year of life, junior
accomplishes the most enorm-
Gus growth of his career. Never
again will he be expected to
triple his weight in one year.

Found: Two Election Prophets
Who Predicted Demos Victory
Special to Central Press

WASHINGTON - There are
still at least two prophets with
some honor in this country,
Gallup and Roper to the con-
trary Notwithstanding.
One is Ralph Nafziger, pro-
fessor in the journalism depart
ment of the University of Min
nesota at Minneapolis; the 9TH
er, Louis Bean of the Agricul-
ture department in the nations
capital.
On Friday preceding the
Tuesday of the big wind, Bean
spoke before an audience in
Washington at the National
Press club.
After a luncheon, shared by
Miss Margaret Truman, he told
his listeners that his figures
show Democratic congressional
strength is on a longtime up
ward trend.
A special assistant to the Ag-
riculture secretary and an econ
omist, Bean reminded his au-
dience that prosperity is asso-
ciated with victory at the polls
for the party in power. He re-
fused to make a specific pre-
diction on the outcome of the
coming election, but implied it
would be Dewey - IF the pub
lie opinion polls were correct.
However, we don't obtain
forecasts from opinion polls"
he had observed earlier to this
reporter "The polls usually ask
how the voter would cast his
ballot today, not how he is 60
ing to vote in November"
The Press club audience was
polite, but skeptical - except
for Miss Truman who fastened
off early to join her fathers
campaign train.
In his book, How to Predict
Elections" published shortly
before the polling booths
opened, Bean observed:
MY summary of develop
ments in the first year follow
ing Republican return to power
in Congress will indicate why

mark a turning point. To begin
with numerous signs at the end
of 1947 pointed to another pres
idential term for the Demo-
Gratis, the fifth in succession
since 1882.
1--WE are led to conclude"
Bean wrote prior to the voting,
that the Democratic party at
the beginning of i948, as far as
popular opinion was concerned,
had recovered from its setback

verting manpoWer from con-
structive work, disrupting es-
sential services and preventing
the increase of production.
The latest disaster has been
the loss of Manchuria, which is
richer in resources than any
other region of the country.
The Communists, in finally lop-
ping off the province, took away
the Nationalist most valuable
asset.
If il had not been for the Civ
il War. in the opinion of one
ECA expert on China, the
UNRRA program alone would
have been sufficient to restore
China at least to the economic
position she held before World
War II.
Leaving the civil war out of
consideration, however, what
would it cost to put China on
her feet economically? The ECA
spokesman says the SITE, 000,-
900 his agency is spending is
not enough to stem the tide of
economic deterioration" And
that's all anybody ever hoped
it would do. No one expected
the sum to start the work of re-
covery.
Sfop-Gap Aid?
President Truman, in asking
Congress for ECA funds for
China last February, said only
that the assistance he proposed
"can assist in retarding the cur
rent economic deterioration and
thus give the Chinese govern
ment a further opportunity to
initiate the measures necessary
to the establishment of more
stable economic conditions"
Secretary of State Marshall
in his plea to Congress for the
ECA funds for China said only
that they would 'help retard
the present rapid rate of eco
nomic deterioration"
The ECA spokesman says
that the 500, 900, 900 worth of
supplies which were delivered
by ECA to China in the first
six months of the program had

in 1916 and had an excellent
chance - without taking into
account the possible effect of
the third-party movement-to
win the election, and to
start on the first phase of a new
and predominantly Democratic
tide of the 1885"
Bean also made these pre-
election observations:
That Massachusetts, normally
7 per cent less Democratic than
the country as a whole, had
nonetheless gone Democratic
in the past five presidential
races. II went Democratic for
the sixth time to the shocked
surprise of Gallup, Roper, and
company.
That Minnesota and Wiscon-
sin, which surprisingly went
Democratic on Nov. 2, are twice
as flexible as the nation, sig
nifying political independence
and freedom from party ira
dition.
That his figures showed New
York probably would go Re-
publican this time, as II did,
despite Democratic victories
there in IA and 40.
Beams system is based on
statistical studies of past cleo
ton results, and their applica-
ton to new political situations
which inevitably arise in every
election. Most important, prob
ably, he doesn't take it too Sc
riously.

home state, preserved his pro-
fessional reputation by predict
ing that Mayor Hubert Hum
phrey of Minnesota, trigger
tongued Democratic Farmer La
borite, would defeat Republi-
can Joe Ball in their race for
the Senate.
Furthermore, said the profess
sor, if Humphreys margin
proved more than $4,000 votes
Truman would ride in on the
popular mayors coattails. There
may be some argument about
who rode what coattails, but
both men won - Truman by
$4,000 votes. and Humphrey
by l47, 900, both comfortable
majorities.
Nafziger also noted, follow
ing campaign speeches by both
presidential candidates in Min
nesota, that Truman had gained
A or 5 percentage points on
Dewey thus foreshadowing
late Truman gains.

Christmas is a good time for
parents to teach junior unself-
ish ways, according to Miss
Norma Alessandrini of the Chill
dren's Recreation Center, Pedi-
atrics Division, Bellevue Hos
pital.
She adds. however, that par
ents should not expect too
much from three-to-four-year-
old tots. These children need
the feeling that there are some
things that are theirs alone.
But, at the age of six, says
Miss Alessandrini, children are
first becoming aware that they
belong to a group and to a COM
munity. II is then parents can
begin to teach them by example
and through participation in
group activities, that they must
share with others in order to
enjoy the benefits belonging to
all.
And what better time is
there, she asks, than at Yule-
tide, when whole families and
communities get together to en-
JOY the giving and receiving of
gifts. How often have we seen
children making a grab for the
toys of other children as well
as repelling all attempts of 9TH
er children to play with their
toys. This is the time when jun
ior can be taught that if he will
let other children play with his
toys, he in turn will be per-
mitted to share their toys"
This is a comparatively SIM
pie thing to do, she says, be-
cause juniors interest span in
any one object, is short. 1t
won't be long before his atten-
ton will be diverted to some
other object.
SHOULD junior insist upon
playing with Johnny's toy, the
alert parent can engage his in
terest in a substitute toy al
most Immediately, by display
ing an active interest in it.
Then, as juniors and Johnny's
interest wane, their toys can be
exchanged" she says.
Children love to bask in the
favor of their parents. says Miss
Alessandrini. Should junior be
aware that YOU favor his shar-
ing his toys or sweets with his
friends or others, he is more
likely to continue doing so.
Again, children are great OBJ
servers, she says. They'll watch
you making up Christmas pack
ages to be sent to less fortunate
children here and overseas and
soon bring some of their own
toys to you to be added to the
packages, or make up their own.

WASHINGTON - What do
they mean when they talk
about more help for Gilman"
Will any amount of American
assistance ever put China on
her feet? How much would it
cost to produce in China the
kind of economic rehabilitation
we hope to achieve in the Mar
shall Plan nations of Europe?
According to the Chinese gov
ernment's own records, we have
spent since the wars end $751;
10000 in Chinese civilian re-
lief, nearly all of it a gift. In
addition we have loaned China
1852. 900 for reconstruction.
Now in the Economic Coop
Grafton Administration (ECA)
program for China, we are
spending SITS, 900, 900 addition
al for economic assistance. None
of these figures includes the
large sums spent since the war,
and still being spent, on mill
tary aid.
What has been the result up
to now?
An ECA spokesman says "the
economic position of non-Com-
munist China is continually de-
teriorating," initiation getting
worse all the time. Lately, he
adds, the volume of exports and
the flow of goods from the coun-
tryside into the major cities
have fallen off sharply. There
is a growing reluctance of farm
ers to sell foodstuffs for depre-
ciating paper money.
Huge Deficit
The Chinese governments
deficit amounts to IS to 70 per-
cent of total expenditures, he
says. That means that the gov
eminent collects in revenue
only 80 to 35 per cent of the
money it needs to keep going.
To pay its bills, it can only
print more paper currency.
The immediate cause of Chi
mas acute economic troubles is,
of course, the civil war, eating
up government revenues, di-
