SWIMMING: For Mind & Body

builder, now is being used as a treat
ment for mental illness, according
to the Red Cross.
The sedative effect of swimming
was first noted during the war. GIs
with battle fatigue-men who just
couldn't unwind - found that an
hours workout in a pool helped
greatly. Many veterans who couldn't
sleep found that swimming before
bedtime was better than a sleeping
pill.
Carroll L. Bryant, national Red
Cross safety director, says psychia-
trists have found that swimming is
good for all kinds of tension, ranging
from everyday jitters to psyche.
neuroSis.
Scientists believe that swimming
sootheS the spirit and relaxes nerves
for a number of reasons. Bryant says:
"It'S almost impossible to swim and
worry at the same time.
'The flow of water around the body
is probably the finest type of mas
sage known and, with the exception
of air flow, the most soothing to nerve
endings.
Swimming is good mental-emo-
tional medicine because it's associ-
ated with childhood happiness-the
old swimming hole sort Of thing"

WATER: A Problem for Cities

successive phases Of the Delaware

Normally the nations largest city

The city put 100 inspectors from
various departments on the street as
'water cops" Their duties are to warn
minor "drip" offenders, give summons
to needless wasters.
Conservation Campaign
The leaky faucet has become New
York's Public Enemy No. 1. Soma
restaurants stopped serving water un-
less asked. Public drinking fountains
are shut off. Hotels ask guests to take
showers (which take FIVE to seven
gallons of water) instead of tub baths
(Which take about 25).
The Sanitation Department quit

not to wash cars with hose. The Fire
Department has plans for pumping
river water at all possible locations.

Ions a day. It wasn't nearly enough.
A National Problem
Actually the problem of water sup
ply is of vital concern to many a
large city. In the west, such cities as
Los Angeles have had to go 400 and
500 miles for water. Long range plans
for extended systems have been ap-
proved at terrific cost.
Just what happens when CONF
munity water supply dries up was
shown at little Roosevelt, N. ]. (popu-
lation 9OO). A week ago, two artesian
wells failed from which the cOmmu-
nifty had been pumping $4,000 gallons
daily for the past IA years.
The towns two factories shut down,
putting 225 persons out Of work. Pub
lie schools closed. A third of the town
moved out.

hauled 5000 gallons daily from
Hightstown, seven miles away, mere
drop in the bucket. The Army trucked
water in 250-gallon trailer-tanks from
Fort Monmouth and set up a water
purifier at a nearby stream.
Meanwhile a drilling team worked
frantically to find water at deeper
levels. Late in the week, well drillers
struck water and the towns six-day
drought ended.

PEACE: The U.N. Fights About Il

BAGGAGE of United Nations
ID delegates was stuffed like ira
ditional stockings with Christmas
gifts last week as the fourth ses-
sion of the General Assembly
neared its close. Delegations, par
ticularly from rationed European
countries, were loaded down with
fabulous goods which their country
men dreamed about.
The festive holiday spirit which so
impressed the delegates outside was
not evident inside the diplomatic
chambers. Within the past fortnight
there have been bitter clashes over
peace plans, colonies and the Holy
City Of Jerusalem.
Fight over Peace Plans
Early in the session. Russia's dele
gate, Foreign Minister Andrei Vishin-
sky, introduced a resolution branding
the United States and Britain ''war-
mongers" and urging Big Five pact
for peace. The west, led by the us.
and Britain, countered with a resolu-
luton urging all nations to rededicate
themselves to principles of the U.N.
Charter.
Debate was fiery and prolonged.
These are typical excerpts:
Vishinslky: "The North Atlantic AL
lance is busy preparing a new war.
The United Nations, with its Anglo
American majority, covers up this
dark undertaking with speeches
but new war is being prepared and
shackles are being forged for peace
loving peoples"
Warren Austin CU.S. delegate):
''Live and let live. Act in good faith
to fulfill existing agreements before
making new promises. Do these and
fear and tension will be removed"
YugOslavia AbstainS
When the peace proposals came up
for vote, the Assembly adopted the
western resolution by SO to 5. Russia
and her satellites opposed it; Yugo-
slavia abstained.

sun, the President relaxed and
frolicked, boasting that he was a

barnyard horse shoe pitcher and be-
fore-and-after- breakfast walker.
But the President, even on vacation.
worked hard with an Administration
task force flown down from Washing
ton to help lay the groundwork for
an election year fight for the Fair
Deal. Their immediate goal was to
whip into shape three important mes
sages the President will deliver to
Congress in January. These are the
"State of the Union the budget and
economic messages.
Presidential assistant John r. Steel
man, whom the Chief Executive calls
his good right arm and leg" planed
in with ammunition in the form of
written suggestions" from members
Of the Cabinet and other top policy
makers.
UnSung SpadewOrkers
Working with them are the men
who do the rarely-publicized spade
work, research and writing that form
the basis for the ultimate high level
policy. They include administrative
assistants Charles S. Murphy, George
Elsey and Donald Dawson.
Murphy, a lawyer who used to
work on Capitol Hill, is the legislative
expert whose views play a leading part
in Presidential messages and speeches.

message will call for virtually every
thing in the Fair Deal" that the Both
Congress failed to enact. These in
clude repeal Of the Taft-Hartley Act,
enactment Of civil rights and expan-
sion of the Social Security program.
The President is expected to renew
his demand for enactment of the ma
tional health program and the Bran
nan farm plan, both of which stirred
up controversies in the last session.
Corporation Taxes
Mr.. Truman is expected to ask in
creased levies on corporation profits.
He told recent news conference he
didn't know any way to wipe out an
anticipated five billion dollar deficit
other than by raising taxes.
The next fiscal years budget may
run as high as As billion dollars. The
President is not expected, however,
to revive his demand of a year ago
for drastic standby" anti-inhation
powers.
Even if he were to ask for eeo-
nomic controls, the Presidents advise
ers are understood to have told him
he would have no chance Of getting
them from the 8lst Congress.
The President soon is to lose Clark
Clifford, his special counsel and inti-
mate adviser. Clifford is leaving 20 re-
sumo private law practice. He said he
felt he could not properly support his
family longer on governmental sal
ary. Formerly this was $4,000 a year
but under the recent act of Congress
it was raised to $4,000.

EIectronics
Mechanical Broin


The Atomic Energy Commission has
turned to electronics as a means Of
helping its scientists keep abreast of
the tremendous surge of new ideas
and developments in atomic and re-
lated fields.
The electronic device-known as
the rapid selector-can scan up to
10000 coded entries a minute COM
pared with the dozen or so items a
fast worker can examine in the same
time.
This mechanical brain not only
''looks up" the catalogued material,
but it also can reproduce almost in
stantly an abstract of a document on
film which then can be enlarged for
convenient reading. In four minutes
it can scan a 2,000-foot reel of film.
The Acc is working with the Agri-
culture Department in perfecting the
present working model, which is the
brain child of DR.. Vannevar Bush,
wartime head of the Office Of Scien-
tific Research and Development.

witnesses would be called, adding that
investigators were rounding up more.
For the sake Of the American peo-
pie. Wood declared, ''this story must
either be corroborated or disproved."
Much Of the story was old, in House
committee files more than year. But
now big names had been injected:
Henry Wallace, the late Harry Hop
kins. 1t. Gen. Leslie r. Groves, re-
tired, who ran the wartime Manhat-
tan project.
Revived Interest
The House committee inquiry was
suddenly revived when George Racey
Jordan. former Air Force major, re-
ported in a radio interview that
atomic bomb materials and technical
information had been expedited to
Russia BY plane in 1943 and 1914 with
the aid Of Harry Hopkins, adviser to
President Roosevelt.
Jordan reported he ripped secret
radar equipment from four Lend
Lease planes bound for Russia in
1943. Jordan said fifth plane, piloted
by a Soviet officer, skipped the in
spection base at Great Falls, Mont,
and carried its radar to Moscow via
Alaska.
The radio commentator who broad.
cast Jordan's accusations charged that
Henry Wallace, then Vice President
of the United States, ordered the
atomic materials sent to Russia over
objections of Gen. Groves.
Wallace denounced the statements
as ''purest fabrication" Gen. Groves,
now an executive with Remington
Rand, said before he was called to
testify before the committee: "Mr.
Wallace was not in my chain Of COM
mand. l did speak to Mr.. Wallace sew
eral times but it had nothing to do
with atomic shipments" F."
Defends Hopkins
Mrs. Franklin Roosevelt said: 81
cannot imagine Mr.. Hopkins trying to
hurt his country when he literally
killed himself for it."
Committee files revealed testimony
in June, 1948, that shipment of urani-
UNI oxide, uranium nitrate, uranium
metal and "heavy water" had gone
to Russia early in the war, all au-
thorized and licensed by proper
American authorities for export.
Even then Russia was not supposed
to receive chemicals for other than
wartime use, the committee records
showed. However, Russia was granted
these strategic atomic materials on re-
quests for uranium salts for military
medical purposes and uranium metal
for hardening of steel used in gun
barrels

Long submerged towns, farms and

The WORLD This WEEK
Aerial
Arctic Operations

The B-36, intercontinental bomber,
is undergoing some changes as a re-
suit Of two years of cold weather
testing to enable it to operate from
frigid Arctic bases.
The Air Force disclosed last week
that the big bomber has performed
satisfactorily under extreme weather
conditions at the experimental cli-
matte hanger at Eglin Air Base, Fla,
and in Alaska. It said the cold
weather testing program still is not
complete and will be continued in
definitely.
The Air Force said that as was
anticipated with a plane so huge and
complex as the B-36, numerous oper-
ating problems occasioned by extreme
low temperatures had been encoun-
tered and overcome.
Special lubricants are needed as
well as special hydraulic fluid for
controls, landing gear and brakes.
Ordinary rubber in tires and hose

Medicine
RUmors & Miracles

NUInOIS q MlrQCIeS
A false wartime rumor that the
Nazis had discovered a substance
which made superman pilots is cred
tied with stimulating American re-
search into production of the mir
acle" drugs, cortisone and ACTH.
DR.. Edward c. Kendall, discoverer
OF cortisone, revealed last week that
during the war there was a rumor
that Germans were buying all the
adrenal glands in Argentine slaughter
houses, and that an extract from these
glands enabled Luftwaffe pilots to fly
and fight at 40,000-foot attitudes with
out difficulty.
DR.. Kendall, a biochemiSt at the
Mayo Clinic, said that the rumor,
even though untrue, was a tremen-
dous spur to the making available of
certain compounds used in research.
One of these, compound f, is corti-
some.
The other miracle" drug, ACTH,
made from pituitary glands of hogs,
actually stimulates the body to make
its own cortisone, DR.. Kendall said.
Cortisone now is being produced by
slow and costly method which is the
best science yet has devised.
The total amount of ACTH made in
one year-about go pounds-is enough
to treat only about three of every
100000 cases of rheumatoid arthritiS.
BOOnS to Research
The great Importance of cortisone
and ACTH, according to DR.. John S.
L. Browne, director of the McGill
University Clinic, Montreal, is that
they make possible research into the
ways with which the body deals with
disease.
Neither compound cures arthritis
although it does bring relief.
The same symptoms are encoun-
tered in treatment of rheumatic fever,
according to DR.. Allan Kenyon of
Billings Memorial Hospital, Chicago.
There is no reason to suppose, he said,
that the fundamental cause is re-
moved.
"Alleviation of symptoms appears
real enough" said DR.. Kenyon, "but
how long does this relief last after the
hormone is stopped if the agent of the
disease is not eliminated?"
Doctors don't know the answer yet.

Outmoded, Crawl

American swim stars, unless they
heed a new stroke perfected by the
japanese, are going to trail in inter-
national competition.
That's the warning of Jamison
Handy, one Of the founders of the
American six-beat crawl, who says
the Japanese have come up with a
new and better technique. Handy, a
member of the us. Olympic teams
in 1904 and 1924, says the Japanese
sensational performance last summer
at the National A.A.U. meet in Cali
fornia outmoded the American six
beat crawl. One Japanese swimmer
broke three individual free-style rec
ords.
To prove his point before 500 SWIM
ming coaches, the 63-year-old Handy
plunged into the Princeton Univer-
sity pool and demonstrated the Japa-
nese stroke. It comprises a slow two
beat kick and unorthodox arm stroke.
