THUMB SUCKING.
(From Mrs. d. Y. Alexandria
My sister had much the same
problem with her young son. The
family spent two years overseas
when he was a baby. and during
their first year back they were
almost constantly on the move.
The little boy had his favorite
small pillow and his thumb as
never failing source OF comfort
in his unsettled world. When he
was about 8 years and 2 months
old. the family was settled in
nice home with other children to
play with. and a week after his
4th birthday, he put his pillow
in the trash can and decided he
was too big to suck his thumb.
My sister did call his attention
to his habit on occasion. but did
not nag about 1t, feeling that 1t
gave him some security he was
missing in his surroundings.
This may be small comfort, but
in this one case. ignoring the
habit did work. do hope you
have success in eliminating this
habit. but don't worry too mucn
about it at this age.

August sales of large independ-
ent retailers topped July by Z

sorieS at a Is per cent greater
sales volume in August than a
year ago, but sales last month

gain over July and So per cent
advance over a year ago.

elry stores also showed substan-
tial gains in August over July, but

year for the acquisition, Of rights
Iof-ways, the Commissioners were
advised.
Improvement of Kenilworth
avenue from the bridge to the
District line will become essential
upon completion of the bridge
construction, and the land should
be acquired soon, it was said.
An increase of $4,000 for tenn
Iporary workers was asked. One
reason was the anticipation Of the
bridge construction, and another
was that the department during
1852 will be continuing the work
Eof planning and designing the
second postwar program" on an
Expanded basis.
New Employees Asked.
The department asked for nine
new employees, including a soils
engineer. The new workers would
cost $29.825.
The budget estimate proposed
to spend the following amounts
for these purposes: Paving, repay
ing and surfacing, 100000; grad
ing, $150,000; curbs, cutters and
shoulders. 100000; resurfacing,
$850,00O; changes in drainage
structures, 100000; improving

sessment and permit work, $780,

JuStifying the resurfacing item,
the department explained that
during the last 10 years condi-
tions have changed, requiring
pavements of greater strength to
Withstand the heavier and in
creased volume of traffic and
speed of vehicles.
Older pavement with thin and
weak bases, where it is required to
take heavy and fast traffic, is rap

Secret Army Report
On katyn Massacre
Is Reported Missing
BY the Associated Press

A top-secret document bearing
on the alleged Russian massacre
of 1000 Polish officers during
World War II apparently has dis
appeared.
/. The Army disclosed yesterday
that it had been unable to find
the paper in a search begun late
last year. It offered no explana-
ton for the loss.
At the same time, it made pub
lie substitute memorandum on
the subject prepared from memory
last May by 1t. Col. John H. Van
Vliet. jr., author of the original.
Col. Van Vliet. now on duty in
Korea, was a prisoner of the Ger
mans when he visited the scene
of the alleged massacre in Katyn
Forest near Smolensk, Russia. He
said in his memorandum he be-
lieved the Russians killed the
Polish officers.
The Army also released a state
ment prepared in 1945 by Capt.
Stanley S. B. Glider, British Army
medical officer who was in the
party of Allied prisoners taken to
Katyn Forest by the Germans in
1943.
Both Col. Van Vliet and the
British officer said they were
forced to make the trip and fully
believed at the outset that they
were being used in an attempt to
support the Nazi propaganda line.

years, they have had to show where
they stand on many vital issues.
What are the two principal pro-
grams that the Kremlin has been
attacking most violently?-the
Marshall Plan, because it is roll
ing back Communist penetration
in Western Europe;-the North
Atlantic Treaty Organization, be-
cause it is creating unity and
strength among free nations of
the North Atlantic community to
resist aggression.
There are many candidates
whose record on these issues
should be closely examined. want
to mention only one-Senator
Robert A. Taft.
Points to Taft's Record.
I am naming him because he is
now using his wide influence to
attempt to block the recall to pub
lie service at this critical time of
a man who is universally respected
and trusted, not only in our own
country, but throughout the free
world-George c. Marshall.
Let us look at Taft's record.
Where did he stand on these two
issues? AS for the Marshall Plan,
he fought on every occasion, US
ing all his influence in the Sen
ate, to slash the appropriations to
a point where the program would
have been crippled-beginning
with interim aid in 1947, again in
1948, again in 1949, again in 1850.
He voted against the North At
lantic Treaty. He voted against
aid to strengthen our mu-
tual defense. What is more, he
has shown no understanding of
the Importance of organized labor
IN our affairs at home and in the
world.
When you look at his record,
you cannot escape the conclusion
that if the Congress had adopted
his positions, Communist objec-
tives would thereby have been
furthered.
~ Actions which further the de-
signs of the Kremlin cannot be for
given on the ground that they were
taken unwittipgly, The most chari-
table Thing one can say about Taft
Is that he knows not what he does.
We are most fortunate people
in one respect. We still have the
ability to shape our own destiny.
Today, as never before, this ability
must be translated into positive
action. A ruthless, aggressive force
is loose in the world. To survive.
Americans must show new quality
of patriotism.
when called upon, Americans
have always shown their willingness
to die for their country, and the
ideals for which it stands, as they
are doing today, in far-of Korea.
We at home must be willing to live
for our country, to work for our
country, day by day, year by year.
The road ahead is not easy. It
Will require clarity of purpose, and
vigilance, and sustained effort for
many years
