Foust Hopes Everyone will Attend
Ohio State Fair Aug. H-Sept. z

COLUMBUS, O., Aug. 26-The
fondest hope of Manager H. S.
Foust would be realized if every
man, woman, and child in the
Buckeye State could attend the
95th Ohio State Fair opening here
Saturday, Aug. q and continu-
ing through Friday, Sept. 2.
Mr.. Foust extends the invita-
ton to all to attend, and veterans
of Fairs activities assert that
never before has so much been
done for the comfort and conven-
ience of the visitors.
One innovation certain to mean
a larger attendance is free adj
mission for children under IL.
Manager Foust hopes that this
will mean that many more family
groups can come to the Fair to
see at first hand the years "a
chievements in agriculture, indus
try, crafts, and many other lines.
Another boon to attendance,
it is predicted, is the arrange
ment of free parking space for
10000 automobiles, just outside
fairgrounds entrances.
Scores of new drinking fount-
aims, inspection of all buildings to
eliminate hazards, spraying OF
buildings and grounds to prevent
insects and disease, public ad-
dress system for simultaneous

the Capital have been amazed to learn
that local pedestrians actually are expected
to obey traffic signals use crosswalks and
otherwise abide by the traffic rules. Those
who have been inclined to question the
wisdom of such drastic" enforcement
should take note of the AAA citation. For
the motorists association has found by its
surveys of traffic conditions in various
cities that fewer pedestrians are killed
in the cities where special attention Is paid
by police TO jaywalking and other careless
practices by those on foot. one-third of
the 10.240 pedestrians killed by automo-
biles last year were crossing the street
between intersections. More than 800 were
killed while crossing against signals More
than TOO children were killed while at play
In the streets. All OF these hazardous
practices can be reduced by police vigilance
With traffic constantly increasing. and
with the school vacation season approach

Are Headaches imaginary?

Despite what those Columbia University
neuro- -psychiatrists say, 1t will be hard 70
convince lot of headachy people that
their sufferings are imaginary. Well, not
exactly imaginary according to the pro-.
fessors, for they admit that the aches can
be real enough at times. They contend.
however, that most chronic headaches are
traceable more to ideas than to organic
ills.
Their findings are based on studies OF
o multitude OF headaches among 52l un-
fortunate victims These were regular
sufferers from every conceivable variety of
cranial pains, from the hit-and-run type
to the all-day humping brand. It is only
fair to state that sort of trickery was
used In the experiments. trickery involving
the use of placebos. A placebo Is some
thing which doctors do not ordinarily
discuss except among themselves. II Is
d phony pill or other preparation given TO
satisfy a patient who thinks he needs q
medicine, despite the doctors opinion to
the contrary. The patient often improves
forthwith.
Many OF the headaches studied by the
experimenters disappeared when the rake
medicine was administered. From this the
scientists concluded that these particular
aches resulted from psychic conflict or.
In other words, worry But the report, as
published, does not attempt to explain why
some psychic headaches do not respond to
fake or real potions or pills. For example,
not even the Columbia University re-
searchers contend that q placebo win cure

leilo MechIin

Leila Mechlin. art critic Of The Star
from 1900 until her retirement in le<s
devoted her life to the service Of others.
Quite aside from her professional activi-
ties as a talented writer on painting. sculp-
ture and architecture, she was q servant
OF humane progress. Her mind was eouit-
able and her heart was kind. She valued
people and sought TO be of use TO them in
small matters as well as In large. Hun
dreds of friends could testify TO her gen.
erosity. A still larger public had reason
to appreciate her, perhaps without ever
having heard her name.
She might have been distinguished In
a number of fields. When Miss Mechlin
chose to follow journalism 1t was because
she believed it to be that branch of lit
erature closest to the masses; when she
elected to specialize in esthetics it was
because she was persuaded that the guild
ance Of popular taste was constructive
vocation. She was instinctively keen for
news, and even now, after half a century.
her earliest articles are readable on that
account. Tradition meant much to her,
and experimentation In pursuit of mere
novelty seemed to her unworthy of
serious labor. Her views were conservative
because she was convinced that advance
ment is not worth while unless 1t is per-
manent and durable. She grew gray in
loyal day-to-day service to The Star, and
even during her last illness maintained
her interest In the work of her colleagues.
Beyond the papers immediate range she
exercised a helpful influence In many
different phases of national culture Her
main objective was to cater to the natural
demand Of the universal community for
what Is noble and true In creative en-
deavor. When she sharply rebuked pre-
tentious, insincere, unworthy art" 1t was
because she profoundly knew its faults
from observation and experience.
The net effect OF Miss Mechlin's career
long ago became part of Americas
achievement In taste and refinement. She
was one Of the builders of the twentieth
century civilization which perhaps Is best
represented by the National Gallery-of
which in sense she was founder But
she was not merely an intellectual power
or an educational force. Those who knew
her well will remember her principally as
a woman of gracious spirit who loved life
and successfully sought to make 1t more
commonly fruitful and enjoyable.

More Truffic Awards

1t is welcome news. although not really
surprising, that washington continues to
receive awards for its exemplary trafnc
record In 1948. On top of three recent
awards by the National Safety Council
have come two more honors from other
sources The American Automobile Asso-
citation has just awarded the District first
place in its annual National Pedestrian
Protection Contest and the international
Association of Chiefs Of Police placed
washington ahead of all large cities In
traffic law enforcement last year.
washington's outstanding safety record.
with its low total of fifty-two traffic deaths
In 1s4s, was the result of energetic and
persistent efforts by police, school authori-
tie, engineers and others concerned with
reducing traffic accidents. The new
awards pay tribute particularly TO the
work done in the enforcement field. Here
Is additional evidence that effective en-
forcement of sound traffic regulations
brings safety dividends for every one.

trisn- protection system. Many visitors 10

Doino Whot Comes Naturally

Chairman Harry Vendors proposal that
the Recreation Board change its admin
istratiye policy In reference to after school,
hour use of school building facilities by.
racially mixed groups appeals to common
sense. The change would be one of policy,
rather than of bylaws.
Up to this time the Recreation Board
has denied permits for racially3 mixed
use of school building auditoria, for ex-
ample, unless the Board Of Education con-
Cured. The Board of Education, however.
has overruled the Board Of Recreation In
the latter's denial of such permits for
certain meetings and has adopted more
or less hands-off attitude which places
responsibility squarely with the Board OF
Recreation.
When a white school building is desired
for after hour use by group which wishes
colored as we'll as white citizens to attend.
there is no reason-legal or otherwise
to deny a permit, provided the use itself
Is an appropriate one for school build
ing. The same thing applies, of course. in
connection with colored schools. BY
changing its Interpretation of the rules,
the Board of Recreation will depend upon
its own administrative discretion in the
matter and some rather farcical situa-
tions, in which 1t has been caught In the
past, will be avoided.
A sudden and complete elimination of
segregation in all .recreational facilities
is another matter, however, and Mr..
Wender Is sound in advising more grad
ual approach to this condition. The color
line has become progressively less distinct
in many areas of District recreation, and
there is no good reason to doubt con-
tinuation of that trend with community
adjustment to new patterns of thought
on the question.
Doing what comes naturally, in this
connection, while avoiding the creation
and magnifcation Of issues that stiffen
resistance to change, is q policy that ex-
perience has shown to be most desirable.

Undermining RecIossifieotion

Budget Director Pace has given timely
warning against pay raises for Govern
ment employees not cut to fit the reclassi-
fication pattern provided In the pending
administration BILL He Is justified in taking
a firm stand against any salary proposal
that would tend to offset the realignment
of job-and-pay schedules 50 badly needed
In the civil service.
There are several proposals under con-
sideration at the Capitol for across-tfe-
board increases for employees in the lower
pay brackets. The effect OF any OF these
discriminatory pay plans discriminatory
In that they exclude employees in the top
salary levelsl would be exactly the same
as the patchwork changes In the pay
structure made In 194s, 1946, l945 and
at various times before. Every change
since the last reclassification Of salaries
in 1928 has added to the distortion of the
classified schedules, until today the sum
total of increases granted lower -salaried
workers far exceeds those granted in the
higher brackets. And many workers in
the highest level have been deprived OF
any increase at all, with the result that
some employees draw more pay than their
bosses.
Mr.. Pace says that the real inequities
are in the higher pay scales, not in the
lower ones Under the reclassiflcation
advocated by the Civil Service Commits
sion, the larger pay increases would go to
employees in the top brackets, thus restor-
ing the pay system to the balance orig
inally contemplated. There is no sense
in passing reclassification measure II
Congress is to start right in knocking 1t
out of shape again. If Congress insists
on giving Government employees more
money than they would receive under
the Redistribution program, the orderly
way to do 1t is to apply fiat increase
from top to bottom. To leave any group
of employees out OF special pay increase
plan would be to undermine the reclassia-
cation plan-something that should be
avoided now and In the future.
