WASHINGTON, Feb. 8. A
group OF southern Democrats said
today they had been informed
that congress intends to '.go slow"
on the Presidents civil rights pro-
gram.
Reason for that decision, it was
explained, is that if a fight is
made now on the civil rights
measures, much of the Democratic
vital legislation program will be
held up so long it probably will
not be passed, at this session of
congress.
1t was said further that the
only measure of the civil rights

this session will be a compromise

Sen. Cain Says Mon Wallgren "Lacks Requirements''
WASHINGTON, (P)

WASHINGTON, (PO - Senator Cain R.-Wash.D told the Senate armed service committee yester- day Mon C. Wallgren "conspicu- lously lacks requirements de manded" by the job of chairman of the national security resources board.
 Opposing the confirmation of the former governor of Washing ton State for the S14,0OO a year job, Cain said Wallgren is per soma non grata" to him.
 Wallgren has been a close friend of President Truman since both served in the Senate. He was beat en for reelection in l948 while the state generally was going Democratic.
 Cain reminded the committee that the chairman of the security resources board advises the Pres ident on both defense and domes- tic matters, and is a member of the national security cou c i which has direction over defense organizations and the central in telligence agency"
 'It shouldn't be necessary for me to state that both jobs call for an individual possessed of great character, courage, capacity and knowledge" Cain said.

 It is the first time I knew the Department of Public Welfare has been such a Haven" in the eyes of owners or supervisors of Homes or institutions. Why should these individuals, after receiving Sl7 a month for a child, accept your terms with open arms?
 Let me tell you, and the rest of your so-called workers when I feel that any such legislation will help the children and people of Alaska, I'll put my heart behind it and push as hard as I can, but as it stands now, with your cor rupt department behind it, I'll do my best to see it does not pass.
 Instead of wasting the appro- priation pushing such bills as this, crying for more workers, travel ing around the country on Terri torial money, fight for more money to give to these unfortun- ate people and children, who have to sign away this lives for a pal try $17.
 You should get down on your knees and thank these people who try so hard on so little to give the children so much.

 Gentlemen:
 Looking over the Legislation the following facts stand out:
 1. The Department of Public Welfare again want complete control.
 2. No institution at the rate of $17 a month could do all the re- quirements and be satisfactory.
 3. The owner or Supervisor of the Home would be constantly un- der the Eagle Eye" of the De- pertinent. 4. There. is no financial benefit to the child dependent on the De- partment.
 5. The Department can hand out licenses and take them away whenever they feel like. They answer to none except their good judgment. 6. If we poor misguided Home owners answer back or disagree with their policies, we'll be put in ijail or fined $500. | Gentlemen:
 You'll have a situation where the. supervisor or Home owner will be so busy keeping in with the Welfare worker, the children will be forgotten. I am enclosing copY of my answer to the De- pertinent of Public Welfare. That is just exactly how I feel.
 When the Dept. of Public Vel fare, stop worrying about how much authority they can wield and start concentrating on better ing the financial condition of the Homes, then I feel is the time to start correcting the regulations, but until that time, whom do they think is going to make a fortune

Red Cross hospital workers assist

recreation programs for military
patients.
A recording machine was brought
to his bedside, and he found the
words to tell his longings to his
distant wife. 1t wasn't easy be-
cause his injury had damaged his
vocal chords and articulation was

tice with the hospital worker, he
finally poured out his heart to the
record and sent it off to his wife.

ed to long periods of bed care, the

Nearby chapters in cooperation
with other local agencies bring into

who serve as hostesses for parties,
young people who dance and play

Red Cross Hospital Workers
Hell elpSpeedPatientRecovery

The job of rebuilding sick bodies
and minds of servicemen in mill
tary hospitals and restoring them
to useful life is carried forward by
a team-doctors, nurses, and Red
Cross workers. The Red Cross
worker may be medical or psychi-
atric social worker, a recreation
specialist, or a combination of them
assisted by Gray Lady.
Military physicians and nurses
find that restoring the health of a
sick man requires much more than
medicine and food. The will to
live and the will to do do things
must be revived before medical
treatment can get in its beneficial
work. That's where the Red Cross
enters the picture.
A young soldier, only %, was in
jured in an accident at a muni-
tions proving ground. Half of his
face and neck were blown away.
Painracked and frightened, he had
little taste for ordinary hospital
recreation. He loved music, though,
so the recreation worker brought to
his bedside radio phonograph and
then, by mere chance, found she
could satisfy a greater longing.
The boy revealed that he wanted to
write to his young wife those
tender, personal things that he
hesitated to dictate.

concern on the part of the home
maker as to what this means to
her.
DR.. Schweigert of the Universi-
ty of Chicago, in an article Vita
min BIZ and Related Factors" ID
writes: "a compound. designated
Vitamin BIZ has been isolated
from liver extracts and has been
shown to be highly effective in
Smyrna times., 1949-11-03

treating pernicious anemia in hu-
mans. Whether the liver extracts
contain factors that are needed in
addition to Vitamin BIZ, remains
to be determined. 1t is of interest
that the B vitamin, folio acid, is
effective in curing the anemia of
pernicious anemia but ineffective
in improving the neurological
symptoms -.
For optimum nutrition, the de-
sirability of consuming diets con-
tanning wide variety of foods in
cluding liberal quantities of foods
from animal sources, meat, eggs
and milk, is evident. The research
on vitamin BIZ indicates that this
factor is abundant in such foods,
particularly in organ meats. Stud
les on the requirement of unknown
factors for heterogeneous, the
rat, chick and human have result
ed in the isolation of an important
factor for treating pernicious an
emia which has been a great ad-
vance in medical science"
So that the homemakers' part
appears to be to accept the en-
phasis placed upon the selection of
liver and kidney as items of food.
The present day theory is that this
selection should be made at least
once a week.

So perhaps you'll want to remember,
when you hear the term "valve-in-

that made Buick famous.

and no pun is intended.
But Buick has been doing more with

But it happens that this isn't new with
Buick. AS matter of fact, the valve.in.
head engine was invented back in 1902
u. S. Patent No. 771095-and imme-
diately, Buick adopted the principle,
which became the first in long string
of Buick firsts."
Not everyone went for the idea-then.
In spite of the fact that this engine
"breathes" more freely-gets fuel in
and exhaust gases out more easily
others hung onto their pet ideas.
Then came the airplane, with its need

for maximum power from every drop
of fuel-and every maker of internal
combustion airplane engines adopted
the valve-in-head principle.
And more recently-with the hope
that higher-octane fuels will become
available for motor cars-a lot of auto
motive engine designers are taking
new look at the valve-in-head idea.
But just for the record, we'd like to
point out that Buick got there first.
And ever since, Buick has gone steadily
ahead, building up name as "valve-in-
