The old saying that the farmer,
producing fruits and vegetables,
"eats what he can and cans. what
he can't" may be up for revision.
It appears that the farmer is
letting the Gamers do at least
some of his canning. At least the
Tri- State Packers Association was
told so at its 46th annual conven-
ton in the Mayfiower Hotel yes
terday. The speaker was Graham
Patterson, president and publisher
of the Farm Journal and Path
finder Magazines.
Farm pictures always include
row after row of peaches and
other fruit put up in Mason jars.
But, said Mr.. Patterson. it has
been found that almost 80 per
cent of farm families buy canned
peaches and almost 10 per cent
buy canned pears and cherries.
Seventy-eight per cent of all
farm families buy canned tomato
juice, and somewhat smaller per-
centages buy canned orange,
grapefruit and pineapple juice.
About three out of four families
buy canned vegetable soup, even

how to make soup-and good
soup, too, Mr.. Patterson said.
More than half the families buy
evaporated milk, he added.
Mr.. Patterson reminded the
Gamers that the farmer usually
has a larger family than his city
cousin-and a larger appetite,
too, because of his healthful out
door life. What's more, he buys
for his employees as we'll as for
his family.
More than 300 persons are at

they produced 960.000,OO0 cans of

Conference on Citizenship
Planners Meets Here Today

More than so representatives
of national organizations were
meeting today in a planning ses-
sion for the Fifth National Con-
ference on Citizenship. to be held
in Washington May 20 to May "a.
The conference is sponsored
jointly by the National Educa-

Department.
Among the representatives at
tending the planning session, at
the NEA headquarters building
this morning and in the Burling-

napolis Royal, developed. Likewise, it was
from there that Champlain launched his
explorations of what now are Mount
Desert Island, the Penobscot, Kennebec,
Androscoggin and Saco Valleys, Casco Bay
and Plymouth and Nauset harbors.

Saint Croix Island is suitable COM
memoration for such figure. 1t, too, has
connotations of honor, dignity, friendship
and constructive peace. The def1nitive
treaty of 1888 designated the river as the
northeastern boundary between the United
States and Canada. It was more specifically
agreed upon in the Webster-ASburton
treaty in 1842. From the island as "a
talisman of international accord" stretches
"the longest undefended frontier in the
world"-a line sweeping three thousand
miles to the Pacific.

Mr.. Dulles and Seniority

BY every measure of experience and Mt
ness for such post, John Foster Dulles,
the newly seated interim" Senator from
New York, is uniquely well qualified for
place on the Foreign Relations Committee.
But even If the Democrats agreed to
enlarge the Republican membership to
make room for him, he could not be put
in the position without creating ructlon
in his own party. The reason for this can
be summed up in single word-sen1orlty
The so-called seniority rule or seniority
right-which is really neither rule nor
right but rather seldom broken custom
has been operating in its present form for
many years. Under it, when a vacancy
occurs on any committee, and when two
or more Senators would like to fill 1t, the
assignment almost invariably goes to the
man who has been serving in the Senate
for the longest continuous period of time.
And his advance in rank thereafter
to the chairmanship-is decided in the
same way. An identical system has been
in effect in the House ever since the 1911
rebellion against Speaker Cannon's dicta-
torial appointments.
AS far as Mr. Dulles is concerned, he Is
the Senate's youngest member in terms OF
service, and he could be named to the
Foreign Relations Committee only If the
man who is entitled to the assignment by
virtue of seniority, graciously consented to
waive his own rights. In this particular
instance, that man is Senator Morse of
Oregon, and he has made very clear that
he is not waving anything but will insist
upon being appointed himself if vacancy
is created. Accordingly, despite his great
experience in international affairs, Mr..
Dulles will not be member, though pos
sibly he may be allowed to sit in in nom
voting capacity. Otherwise, if a serious
effort were made to push him into the post,
there would be an unseemly intraparty
row.
MI this adds up to another illustration
of why there have been numerous proposals
to modify or do away with the seniority
system in Congress. Yet the system cannot
easily be improved upon. Although out
siders and newly elected members have
suggested reforms that seem theoretically
sound, veteran legislators take the view
that all such well-intentioned people have
only to acquire a little experience in the
actual workings of the House or Senate to
realize that the present arrangement prob
ably is about as good as can be had in our
form of Government At any rate, although
the practice has its faults-as Mr. Dulles
story shows-the truth about it Is that
Congress, despite past efforts to do so has
been unable to develop anything better
up to now.

TeIevision Thuws Out

With the demands for television expan-
sion growing hotter with every passing
month, it is not surprising that the Federal
Communications Commission has taken an
initial step toward modification of its
drastic freezing order of last October. The
freeze on new stations was applied to give
the commissions experts an opportunity
to study the problem of finding new chan
nels in the already overcrowded TV spec
trum. The experts have decided that there
is no way to 60 but up, as far as television
frequencies are concerned. So, under the
thawing-out process, the FEC proposes to
permit the opening of forty-two new ultra
high frequency channels - beyond the
range of ordinary TV sets.
There is every indication that the FEC
has come to this decision reluctantly, in
view OF the extra cost which conversion
of present receiving sets to higher fire.
quencies will mean to TV fans. But the
conclusion was inescapable that the only
hope for an expanded industry lay in the
upper wave bands. When the present
twelve Every high frequency" channels
we're allocated to television several years
ago, it was expected that the facilities
would be adequate for many years to come.
But television has grown by such tremen-
dous leaps and bounds as to upset all
calculations of few years back. Already
so many stations are in operation as to
result in serious interference in some Sec
tions. This interference has been compli-
Gated by unexpected phenomena involving
long distance reception. When present
stations were allotted, 1t was thought that
forty miles was a safe margin against
interference, but many instances of trans
mission of signals far beyond the rated
instances-have been reported.
The FEC hopes to reduce interference
and generally improve reception through
the opening of the new channels. Some
stations would change wave-lengths under
this plan, but most of the new bands would
be reserved for new stations. The addition
of forty-two channels would make possible
| 2,245 broadcasting stations in some 1,400
cities and towns, as compared with the
543 stations in 221 locations possible with
the twelve existing channels There is a
long waiting list of applicants for new
stations All the industry needs is room
in which to expand.
The FEC Is warranted in going slowly
in opening new channels. It is also moving
cautiously in the matter of color television
The public has invested millions of dollars
In receivers designed for present channels.
Fortunately most sets can be converted to
the new frequencies at relatively small
cost. And it is said that most sets also
can be adapted to certain types Of color

Full Inquiry Essential

Army Secretary Gordon Gray has acted
promptly and properly to "get to the bot
tom" OF a military procurement situation
that, on the surface, has disturbing i'm
plications. The implications are yet to be
reinforced by proof of illegality. But
the integrity of the Army inevitably is
clouded when the integrity of two of
its department heads is questioned and
it is essential, therefore, that the most
thoroughgoing sort of investigation should
be made by the Inspector General working
in cooperation with the senatorial in
vestigators who are delving into "flve-per-
center" activities.
Pending completion of these simul-
taneous inquiries, it was wise to suspend
the two high officers whose names have
been brought into the investigation in
way that reflects, at least, on their good
Judgment. When officers of the military
services become involved in any matter
coming before board or court OF inquiry
1t is customary to relieve them of active
duty assignments until the inquiry is COM
pleted. The ru'olic should keep in mind
the fact tiiat no charges whatever have
been placed against Generals Feldman
and Watt. The investigation may show
that they are completely innocent of>any
wrongdoing These veteran officers have
yet to be given an opportunity to tell their
sides of the story-a story first broken by
the New York Herald Tribune as result
of some extraordinary journalistic enter
prise by members of its Washington Bu-
reau. Until the two generals have ex-
planned what their relations-if any-were
with an alleged official influence" racket
in Washington, the story must remain
unfairly one-sided.
The Herald Tribune has rendered pub
lie service by bringing to light. allegations
and rumors that are serious enough to
warrant senatorial investigation. The
bandying about of such reports, without
any effort to determine their reliability,
would have been unfair to the Army and
to the persons involved. Generals Feldman
and Watt should be glad of the chance
for public showdown with their accusers.

The Poverty-Stricken Orient

AS part of a global survey, United
Nations Economic Commission has been
investigating conditions in the Far East
from Burma to China and Japan. Its re-
port, Just issued, paints a picture so
unrelievedly dark as to inspire grave re-
Elections. The commissions verdict is that
virtually the entire area is so riddled with
malignant, utter poverty as to preclude
any immediate hope for peace and stability
there.
The Far East has always been region
of low living standards, the basic reasons
being overpopulation coupled with neglect
or inadequate exploitation OF natural re-
sources. But these traditional conditions
have been sharply worsened by war and
its aftermath. Not one of these countries
has as yet regained the economic levels OF
q decade ago, while some of them are
yerging on economic collapse. There is
today less food available than was on hand
even during the hungry prewar years; the
per capita consumption of clothing Is like
wise below the inadequate prewar stand
ard, while labor and industry are turning
out less than before. Furthermore, eco
nomic recovery is impeded by the trend
of international trade. Several of the
Orient's basic export staples, such as rub
ber, silk and jute, are threatened by the
competition of synthetic materials dis
covered and developed by Western science.
The commissions conclusion is that no
area in the world is in more acute need
for the kind of grand-scale economic
assistance contemplated in President Tru-
mans bold new program" of aid to
undeveloped countries. 1t points out that
natural resources such as coal, iron and
hydroelectric power potentialities exist in
most of those countries, but have not been
scientifically developed, while native
"know-how" is virtually absent For in
stance, excluding Japan, the commission
estimates that only five per cent of the
hydroelectric potential has been harnessed.
A systematic exploitation of such natural
resources would make possible the de-
velopment of modern large-scale industry,
which would, in turn, open up new means
of livelihood, raise living standards and
ease the pressure of population.

Saint Croix Island

Saint Croix Island has been made a
national monument of the United States.
This means that the seven-acre plot in
the river between Maine and New Bruns-
wick will be preserved and maintained
indefinitely as a common possession of the
American people. There are many reasons
why it is desirable that the place should
be national property, national respon-
sibility.
First, it was on Saint Croix that the
first French settlement on this continent
was established. The date was 1904, and
the leaders of the pioneer expedition were
Pierre de Quasi, Sieur de Monts, a
Huguenot nobleman of Saintonge, and his
lieutenant, the great founder of Canada u
Samuel de- Champlain. 1t was from the
tentative base on Saint Croix that expah.

Oxygen Theropy Proves
Success in Intoxicution
Psychiatrists Offer Clinical Report
On Results of 100 Gases
By Thomas r. Henry

1nhaling oxygen for hang over became
rather common practice with Air Force
soldiers during the war.
The apparent efficiency of this treatment
was observed by two University of Pennsyl-
vania psychiatrists-Drs. c. Nelson Davis and
Harold F. Robertson-and they have intro
duced it experimentally in their own clinics.
They have just made clinical report on re-
suits with 100 cases ranging from extreme
drunkenness to delirium tremens.
The results they claim. have been excep-
tlonally good-on the whole. considerably
better than those obtained from use of Sc
datives. There is considerable evidence, they
say, that alcoholic intoxication and the 5imi-
lar condition induced by lack of oxygen are
basically quite similar.
In our experience with alcoholic patients
prior to use OF oxygen the report states, I'VE
have found sedatives to be a necessary evil,
but their use essential. Since the institution
OF oxygen therapy with severely intoxicated
patients we have been able to treat 100 cases
successfully without sedatives.
THE group includes some re-admitted
patients formerly treated by means Of seda-
tives and other measures, but without oxy-
gen. Almost invariably they prefer oxygen.
The reason they give is that they experience
hitherto unknown clearing of the mind.
They feel less tense and less insolent or
apathetic, and suffer less from agitation and
anorexia. They state that they are more
comfortable than on the former therapy of
sedation.'
Vitamin B12-most powerful biological
chemical yet discovered, which in doses
measured in bilionths of ounces is capable
OF arresting pernicious anenia-also is prov
ing an effective remedy for thyrotoxicity
caused by over-secreting thyroid glands
This in indicated in experiments in sew
eIal laboratories. according to report just
issued by the Nutrition Foundation of New
York. If the results hold up, second impor-
tant medical use will have been established
for this elusive vitamin. which apparently is
the anti-anemia substance in liver and
which is essential to animal growth.
The present results. however. do not estab-
lish conclusively that it is effective against
thyrotoxicity for prolonged period but the
indications are strongly to this effect.
Meanwhile. according to the Nutrition
Foundation report, some doubt has arisen as
to whether lack of this vitamin is the pri-
mary deficiency responsible for pernicious
anemia. In rare cases. it has been found. the
vitamin is excreted about as fast as it is
administered and hence does the patient
little good. In other cases there has been
hardly any improvement in the blood count
from the administration of BIZ alone.
There is an increasing belief that some
other factor must be available in the pody
before the most potent of the vitamins can
exercise its full effect Perhaps it is itself
converted into this factor in the body's
chemical laboratory.

Polio Campaign

Infantile paralysis again is problem:
of concern to thousands OF people. The
incidence this year Is high. While there
is no occasion for panic on the part of
children or parents, the disease is back
again as an epidemic in some localities. It
also is true that the campaign against
polio is going forward with renewed in
tensity. John J. ONeill, writing in the
New York Herald Tribune, says: "A ring OF
knowledge is closing slowly but surely
around this killing and disabling agent"
Exactly what the agent is however, is
part of the problem. Twelve different types
of viruses have been identified, yet the
manner in which .infantile paralysis is
disseminated is unknown. "No common
insect or animal has been found to be
that scientists are severely handicapped
by lack of a suitable guinea pig in which
to grow viruses and make experiments
none of the usual experimental animals
can be given the disease"
This may mean that they already have
had it. Mr. O'Neill explains: 1.-THE most
startling fact revealed by current research
is that for every individual who contracts
the disease with recognized symptoms,
there are probably 100 who have the disease
in unrecognized form, with symptoms no
more acute than brief nausea and fever"
OF those who develop paralytic phenomena
one out of dozen will die, two will be
handicapped permanently, three will have
slight paralysis and six will recover
completely.
No drug now known has the slightest
effect in preventing or curing polio, but
investigations in progress soon may lead to
the discovery of a method OF vaccinating
against the plague. Meanwhile, the quest
for the source of the disease is being con-
tinued. Scientists are trying to learn how
and where the bacteria hibernate A
Swedish investigator reports that he found
so vast an amount of virus in sewage at
Stockholm as to indicate that everybody
in that city had the disease. But, of course
the actual number of cases in the COM
munity was small-a few hundred.
Victory over infantile paralysis will come
eventually through observation of it. Lay
citizens can help in the effort. Wherever
a case occurs, the patient himself and his
family and friends should endeavor to
CHECK" the environment and the physical
experience involved. The science of epi-
demiology is one to which anybody with
intelligence may contribute. Perhaps the
final discovery about polio will be that of
an amateur. All data are important, If
correctly evaluated and appraised.
