killed himself with a shotgun.
And between the deaths Marilyn

bury.
For this ordeal, her lawyer told
the Court of Appeals yesterday,

ton of $4,000 Her grandfather,
Hugo Mahnke of Sheboygan, Wis,
filed the suit.

Moore of Collingswood, N. j., legal
widow and eXecutrix of Moore's
estate, contended. however, that
child can't sue its parents in
Maryland.

Because Americans never
fought in such cold weather be-
fore, we've got as much to learn
as we had about tropical diseases
IN the Pacific during the last war. -"
said Maj. Gen. Edgar Erskine
Hume.
Gen. Hume, Far East Command
medical chief and former military
governor of Italy and Austria,
said:
so far as frostbite is concerned,
our main treatment is to let it
alone That is to say, when a
man comes into the hospital with
frostbite we let his feet thaw out

Gangrene Is Main Danger.

main danger. In case of gangrene
there's nothing to do but ampu-

Gen. Hume said some men will

as many as anticipated.
Frostbite is the result of dry

A frostbite center stated by ex-
perts who participated in expert

been set up at Osaka with good

We've learned not to open

hrst. because of possible infection
and secondly because a man may
have to walk again before he gets
to hospital" Gen. Hume said.
Gen. Hume said frostbite vic

oLD-FAsHIoNER VIRTUES

The state of Florida wants industries
which are suited to its resources and cli-
mate. These industries are not of the
''smoke-stack" variety--Florida hasn't the
raw materials they need. Instead, enter
prises which require small amounts of raw
materials and the work of many technicians
and craftsmen are desired. Matchmaking
is cited as one example.
A few months ago, Governor Fuller
Warren of that state did something con-
crete to turn the desire into reality. He
formed Florida Industrial Development
Council He stated it with nine of the
states outstanding industrialists, along
with the heads of various public and pri-
vate research agencies. Of great impor-
lance, the Council is 100 per cent non
partisan and non-political. The Governor
sides of the political fence. It is to the
Governors credit that, regardless of this,
he picked the best men available and set
them to work
Much progress has been reported so
far-sneW payrolls are coming to he state.
Industry, agriculture and the tourist bust
ness are to be locked together to give Flor
ida year-round stability of income.
Here is fine illustration of how those
old-fashioned virtues of local initiative and
slf-reliance still work Florida had an eco;
nomic problem-but she didn't run to the.
Federal government for help. She figured
out how to solve that problem with her
own resources and acted. 1t that spirit
were more prevalent, this country would
be in a far sounder condition.

NATIONS PLEDGE MUTUAL AID

The North Atlantic Treaty, which
went into effect on August "a, l949, IN
cludes twelve countries which have agreed
that IAN armed attack against one or more
Of them in Europe or North America shall
be considered an attack against all OF
them,
This means, If It means anything, that
if Soviet Russia attempts an attack upon
any of the countries, the others will have
to make common defense. Recently Dr..
Harold G. Urey, the atomic scientist, sup
posed that the Russians might mine the
harbor Of Copenhagen with atomic bombs,
and then suggest to Denmark that, to es-
cape attack, she must get out of the North
Atlantic Pact.
The prospect that Russia might make
such an atomic threat against Denmark
or Norway under the false idea that the
signatories to the agreement would not
consider that "an armed attack should
be dissipated Obviously, the other ma.
tons would be faced with the necessity
of declaring war on Russia unless they
saw fit to break their treaty obligations.
Inc RUSSIANS may pc whining ~ IlSh al
all-calt war in order to see if such bluff
would work. Undoubtedly, if the Soviet
has the atomic bomb in production, she
has the power to inflict great punishment
upon nearby nations. This does not mean,
however, that Russia can compel the
world to accept Communism or the dom.
ination of Soviet democracy which
does not recognize the freedoms and lib
critics of the people of Western nations.

ovER-EsTIMATINc THE REDS

j. Edgar Hoover, head of the Federal
Bureau of Investigation, has appealed to
Congress to add 700 persons to his staff,
half for investigative work and the other
for clerical work.
In view of the necessity to protect, if
possible, the atomic and hydrogen secrets
Of the nation, the FBI probably needs add
itionaI men unless it can eliminate some of
the investigative work now being carried
en-.
In connection with his successful APP
peal to a Senate groupe, Mr.. Hoover re-
ported that there are $4,000 card-holding
members of the Communist Party in the
United States. He estimated that there are
roughly ten times that number of fellow
travellers, or Communist sympathizers. We
do not know how the FIJI chief arrives at
the figure of $4,000 Communists but we
have no idea that his estimate as to fellow
travellers" is accurate.
There has been a tendency in the
United States to call any liberal fellow
traveller" and to ones opponent whether
the argument dealt with political, social
/. or religious matters. If everybody to whom
the epithet has been applied in the past
few years is to be considered a fellow
traveller" there must be at least fifty mil
lion in the country.

TO KEEP GERMANY DIsARMED

The policy of the United States toward
Germany is that that country should be
fully integrated into the common struc-
ture of a free Europe but that to keep
Germany deprived of the means Of wag-
ing war and to prevent the development
of German aviation which could become
a threat to the peace of the world.
These aims are being progressively
developed in the hope that the German
people will proceed along democratic lines
to close association with the free people
of Western Europe Important as this OBJ
jective is, however, there is to be no
amelioration of the conditions imposed on
Germany for the purpose of preventing
the development of political condition
or military potential which would threat
