Two things disturb me today.


One is the Hickenlooper attack
on Lilienthal; the other is the "a
day Ford strike.
Maybe ! shouldn't be bothered
by either one, but it's the kind Of
day that invites being bothered.
Of course there are so many
things about which to be bothered
that one ought to make a list Of
them and then each morning ask
himself, "what am | going to be
bothered about today?" 7 h a I
would put some system into the
business of being bothered about
public affairs.
But anyway, those are the two
things I've picked for today's both
erment.
First about Mr.. Hickenlooper. 1t
seems to me he has touched off a
string of half wet frecrackers,
when he promised the booming Of
really big guns.
What we see is the case with
which man can be put in the
stocks before the public. Easy to
make charges; hard to get them
wiped out, no matter how puny
they are.
y :. =
Mr.. Hickenlooper talked about
incredible" mismanagement, but
all he has shown US thus far is I'm
credible" exaggeration and bonn
/ bast.
The story of the missing" uran-
ium is about as flat as a pancake.
1t is about as exciting, in the light
of subsequent testimony, as the
thought of Little Eva scampering
over the ice cakes.
If Mr.. HickenloOper isn't very
careful he will find a new noun has
been added to the language, so
that hereafter men may be said to
have pulled a hickenlooper" and
maybe also a new verb, 'to hicken-
loop.
It's so easy to hang a mess Of
charges around a mans neck, if
Won are a member of Congress,
clothed with immunity. And it IS
so easy then to demand and get an
expensive investigation, which
can be dragged along, inconclusive-
/ Ily, until the only memory left IS
that charges were made.
1t may be that Mr.. Lilienthal has
made mistakes. Probably he has
made them.
But from my window it looks as
if Mr.. Hickenlooper has shown US,
up to this hour, that democracy
can stand a lot of growing up and
that we have members of Congress
who should much more carefully
weigh their words and their
charges.
Now let's talk about the Ford
strike. 1t is safe, since the strike
is over.
That strike went "a days and
ended right where it might have
ended the first day, or even before
it started.
The same thing has happened
repeatedly, in AT of l. and well as
in CIO. 1t is easy to understand
the position of men caught in an
issue. There is the feeling that in
conflict one must stand up to 'hisI
guns.
But there is something else and
that is CRAFTSMANSHIP and a
due regard for the rest of the ma
tion.
Industry as big as Ford stands
still only at terrific cost to manage
ment, workers, AND THE MA
TION.
:, :. :.
The flow Of dollar energy out of
such plants ramifies through a
great part Of the whole nations
economy.
Any conflict within such a plant
is actually the concern of the ma
tion and both parties to the inn
mediate dispute should so regard
it. They have a terrific response
bility when they talk about stop
ping the wheels.
The day must come when demo-
cratic processes in industry must
be so operated as to make things

VenereaI Disease Is
Major Health Problem

The history of most of the ma
jor diseases that afflict mankind
can be traced through periods of
gradual recordings of more and
more symptoms associated with
the spread of the disease and a
complete history can be formu-
lated for the background of the
disease. Not SO with syphilis. The
first major records of syphilis are
its widespread epidemic in the
early part of the 10th century.
The presence of the disease ap-
peared to be sudden and was in
a very severe form. In 1895 ii
was widespread throughout Spain,
France, and Germany, and by 1905
it was reported in China and the
Far East.
The disease in those days was
much more severe than it is
known to be today. This may be
due to the fact that it was COM
paratively new infection and
struck with greater force.
The nations of Europe went to
great lengths to make sure that
the disease would not be con-
sidered original with them. Each
called it by another name. 1t was
the French Disease" the Span
ish Disease" the italian Dis
ease," and so forth. With the
fact that many millions OF Amsri'
cans have either syphilis or gon-
orrhea, it might well pe called the
American Disease"
Many historians feel that syp-
hills caused a great change in the
policies of several of the impor-
tant countries of the world
Henry VIII of England was Sc
verely syphilitic and the fact thai
he infected his first wife Gather
inc, is what caused her to be
unable to produce an heir for the
throne. Their four children were
! born dead. This started his trou.
BILE with the Papacy and begar
his succession of wives.
It is also believed that severa
of the greatest tyrants of Europe
came to the thrones of their coun
, tries because of series of deaths
| in the royal families due to syp
hills. Many of the rulers of thu
time conducted their affairs while
suffering seriously from menta
disorders caused by syphilis.
