PhoenicianS were treated to two
outstanding musical events during
the week. Both have culturally en-
riched our community, and we will
remain greatly endebted to the
organizations who shared them
with us. Of course, we mean the
Third Annual Moments Musicales,
under the direction of H. F. Ed
wards of the Carver High School
Department of Music and the Sec
ond Annual Spring Concert of the
Selectones. For the latter concert
we were fortunate to have front
row seat (many thanks to the girls
who made it possible), and while
we make no claims to the dfStinc-
ton of music critic, we were espec-
tally moved by the select tones OF
all renditionS which the group
gave. The poise, beauty and dig
nifty of the girls, along with their
manifest intense desire to respond
to Rachel Ward, their director, was
to us study in harmony. Julian
McCreary, guest director, held us
entranced with the dynamic ar
tistry through which he inspired
the chorus to attain the heights of
vocal perfection in their renditions
of peace Comes To Me-" and "By
the Waters of Babylon" Many,
many persons shared in the joys
of the evening, and were highly
omplimentary to the SelectOneS
and to the benefit for which the
concert was given. AS you have
probably learned, proceeds from
the sale of tickets was used to give
Johnny Powell and Lawrence
Blackwell scholarships to the Tenn
pc Music Workshop.
We hear they are very deserv-
ing students of Carver.
Our city is richer for the efforts
of these two groups, and in so Of
ten as we can raise the community
interests to the levels of these re-
cent concerts just so often will
we be able to attract more and
more visitors to become permanent
residents Cor such is the opinion
of this writer.)
Art Exhibit
On Sunday afternoons the stu
dents of the Fine Arts Department
of Carver High School held their
Fourth Annual Exhibit.
To one who has watched the pro-
gress of students in this depart
ment there was revealed an amaZ-
ing record of growth in quantity
and quality of works exhibited.
Roosevelt Woods, who got off to
an early lead in achieving rec
ognition for his paintings, is still
out front, but more and more stu
dents are reaching the levels of
blue ribbon awards.
The Industrial Arts Department
under the direction of William
Corbin and Sylvester Edwards pre-
sented an exhibition of student
work in furniture, printing, radio
and auto mechanics. There were
several desks we'd like so much to
own. Many visiting friends shared
that wish also.

was raised against socialized
medicine today in q statement
from William L. Hutcheson, vice
president of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor, released by the
ANA. Mr.. Hutcheson was sched-
uled to address the association,
but illness prevented his attend
ance.
While he disclaimed speaking
for labor as a whole from Wi1icn
some of the support of socialized
medicine has come, Mr.. Hutche-
son said there had been a growing
disillusion as a result of the ex-
treme costliness Of the British
system to the taxpayers. It also,
he said. proved quite inefficient.
1t would be as logical, he said,
to organize carpenters, whose
union he heads, as doctors. Mr..
Hutcheson said most Of the 700,-
900 members of his union want
no part of a "socialized medicine"
program and added:
Carpenters want to be free
agents. Socialized medicine
would only be the first bite out of
our free enterprise system"
Under a national health plan,
the Government might get the
power to tell doctors where they
could practice, Mr.. Hutcheson said,
and If that happened, mo other
group or profession can be safe
for long,"
Housing might be nationalized"
and carpenters told when and
where they could work, he added.

Alcoholism Chronic Disease.

All these conditions, DR.. Gibbs
said, may be considered as forms
of epilepsy. They may never re-
suit in any sort of convulsions
but they are abnormalities in the
brains discharge of energy It
is probable, he said, that epilepsy
in some form is as common in the
population as diabetes.
Alcoholism was officially rec
ognized as a chronic disease to-
day by the House of Delegates of
the association.
When the subject was referred
to the associations committee on
chronic diseases, statistics fur
nished by DR.. Howard w. Haggard
of Yale University were cited to
the effect that there are now at
least 3.5 million chronic alcoholics
in the United States. This in
cludes only the compulsive drink
ers-not the occasional drinkers
or even the heavy drinkers who
can take it or leave it alone.
This step, said the announce
ment of the action of the House
of Delegates, the policy-making
body of the organization, 'looks
forward to bringing to this sub
ject minds trained in the science
and art of medicine. 1t is the
official acceptance Of responsible
ity by the healing profession of
America. recognizing the compul-
sive drinker as man who is sick

HONG KONG, Dec. s.-Harold

United Nations.
DR.. Bunehe, 1850 Nobel Peace

/. Appointment Of a mediator

estate which has not been involved
In the fighting or arming either
side in Korea.
2. Mediation between the North
Korean and Chinese Communists
on one side and the South Koreans
and the U. N. on the other. Scope
of the mediation would include
Northern Korea's power dams and
reservoirs as well as the laying
down OF arms by South and North
Koreans and withdrawal of U. N.

Chinese Whistles
Unnerve British
Troops in Korea
BY the Assoeiated Press

TOKYO, Dec. 8.-Some British
Tommies say the bugles and
whistles used by Red Chinese to
signal troop movements are more
unnerving than the roar Of artil-
lery.
A British public relations state
ment said 41st Royal Marine In
dependent Commandos were
nearly driven mad by the bugles
and whistles in their first contact
with the Chinese south of Hagaru.
Sergt. w. D. James Of Ports
mouth, England, said:
II fought against the ferries
during the last war, but those
damned Chinese with their
whistles and bugles were the worst
experience I've ever had.
"It was more upsetting to some
of the boys who were having their
baptism of fire. Bugles would
seem to be blowing all around.
But, after awhile we got used to
them and we would welcome the

One of these, in many cases, is ex-

cases studied at the University OF
Chicago this has resulted in muir

The condition can be classified

aberrant form of epilepsy. The
so-called grand NAL" attacks OF

extreme rage. In such attacks
there is an explosion Of the whole

loss of consciousness.
During the rage phase the

NEW YORK, Dec. ga mill
tant spirit to speed up mobilization
is emerging as a dominant theme
of the 55th annual Congress Of
American Industry.
The three day event. sponsored
by the National Association OF
Manufacturers, has drawn capac-
ity audiences. 1T closes today
with a speech by Defense Secre-
tary Marshall.
The urgency for war mobiliza-
ton has been stressed by nearly
every speaker.
Controls Taken for Granted.
Higher taxes, controls of sll
kinds and a lowering Of the civil
ian standard of living were vir-
tually taken for granted by one
speaker after another.
But the businessmen spoke out
firmly against any person or
group gaining an advantage as
the result of Government controls.
And there were many sharp words
for Government itself in Wasn-
ington.
Lewis H. Brown, chairman Of
Johns s-Manville Corp, had this to
say: What do our leaders in
Washington say we need to do to
prevent Stain from succeeding in
this partial puppet war?
II regret to say that our leaders
have not vet clearly told the
American people what our plan is,
or what its requirements are to
be, or how we are to accomplish it.
Offers Estimate.
But as businessmen, we can't
keep on waiting for an election
to be over or for Congress to meet
next year. We need some basis to
make plans for our own businesses
even if it is only a guess-esti-
mate"
Mr.. Brown proceeded to guess
that we will need an armed force
of 4 million within two years. He
put the cost of that force and its
equipment at around $50 billion
a year, and said we would need
something like $25 billion in new
taxes to carry the load. That
heavy tax load, he said, would be
needed to prevent an imitation
that could wreck our economy.
A panel discussion on Beyond
Korea-What?" brought out from
a capacity audience expressions of
approval that showed the temper
of the association.

Two New Drugs Help.
Two recently discovered drugs

Iistered, however, the mental con-
dition becomes more confused
One of the most effective ways
of treating various forms of in
sanity. used in almost all mental
hospitals. is the so-called "shoek
therapy." BY the administration
of certain chemicals or by elec-
trical shock the patient is thrown
into convulsions. These tend to
clear up his mental condition,
sometimes permanently.
The newly found temporal lobe

that nature has its own shock

ifestations. When they are stopped
by drugs natures shock treatment
also is stopped and the mental
deterioration goes on without any
curb. Thus the anterior temporal
lobe. very close to the brain CEN
ters of speech. might be considered
as each brains own private psy-
chiatrist.
DR.. Gibbs also described very
fast waves, 80 to 40 per second,
which have been observed in the
central region of the brains from

located the centers of conscious

of mis- rage merely steps out OF
his way he will not follow. 1t is
like stepping aside from the charge
of mad bull.
Rage Impulses Overpowering.
But in the strange malady de-
scribed today there is no confusion
The efficacy OF the higher mental
faculties is undamaged. except
that the rage impulses from the
thalamus become so powerful that
they overpower them and make
them serve their purpose. The vic
tim of this strange brain malady
can murder deliberately in cold
blood and cunningly plot murder
something of which the grand
NAL epileptic is incapable.
This new-found brain phenom-
enon may explain several recent
mass murders for which there
was no adequate excuse but in
which the murderers, on psy-
ch1atrlc examination, seemed en-
tirely normal
The new waves usually can be
obtained. DR.. Gibbs said, only
when the victim is in a light
sleep. They disappear entirely
when he is conscious.
A second new type of brain
waves have a rhythm Of about
six per second and originate only
in the anterior temporal lobe of
the brain. This is the area just
behind and in front of the ears.
This apparently is an extremely
vital area in mans psychic life,

data on sales changes are based
on dollar volume.
The drop in sales was attributed
in part to recently instituted curbs

appointment as Assistant Secre-
tary of Defense-the highest post
ever held by woman in the
military branch.
President Truman must yet
make the appointment and the
Senate must confirm it.

Legion. whose resignation was ac-
cepted yesterday. and will per-
form additional duties related to
"manpower and personnel policy" j."

It added that "she is an
acknowledged authority" on both
subjects.
Mrs. Rosenberg. 48, was born
in Budapest. Hungary, and Is a
naturaliZed American citizen. She
came to this country at the age
of 10. A specialist in industrial
relations and manpoWer prob
lens, she now is a special con-
sultant to Chairman w. Stuart
Symington of the National Secur-
ity Resources Board and a public
member of NSRB's Committee on
Mobilization Policy.
She has served in a number of
lhigh-level Government positions
since 1885 and went to Europe as
personal representative of Presi-
dent Roosevelt in 1914 and of Pres
|ident Truman in 1945 to report on
problems of returning servicemen.
She also was a member OF Presi-
dents Committee on Compulsory
Military Training.
Griffith Resignation Expected.
Mr.. G.inth's resignation, sub
mitted last September when Louis
johnson quit as Defense Secretary,
had been expected. But Gen.
Marshalls recommendation of the
appointment Of Mrs. Rosenberg
came as a surprise.
Mrs Rosenberg worked for the
old Blue Eagle" NRA from 1884
to 1889 and has held a number Of
other Government positions in the
