On the same Henry MeLemore'
day they go to see their dentists
and their doctors they spend
money in an effort to make them
selves look young. They buy dye
for their moustaches. They go
through the horrors Of a health
institute to remove a second or
third chin and a second or third
paunch.
Women Are Worse.
Women are about nineteen
times worse in this direction than
men. But what do women do
when they start getting old? This
is going to make me nearly i'll to
tell you. but it's the truth. When
they are So. they start buying
dresses that can only be distin-
guished from rompers because
they look more childish. Their
hair starts turning gray and they
do everything except go to a ship
yard and be launched by being
struck over the head with a bot
tie of grapejuice to make their
hair purple or any other color
that has no resemblance to the
natural color of anybody's hair.
Now that they have decked
themselves out in dresses that
make them look ridiculous and
have changed their hair to a shade
which is as unnatural as a base
ball player who tips more than
is cents. they are still dissatisfied.
They go to beauty parlors and
pay their husbands yet-to-be-
earned money for mud packs to
put on their faces. Then. as soon
as the mud packs are set, they
take them off, which is quite
wrong. II they kept themselves
completely covered in mud, they
wouldn't look as awful as they do
when it's off.
Why Not Accept Truth?
Why don't men and women ac-
cept the one great truth, namely,
that no one can keep on having
birthdays without getting old? 1t
stands to reason that a man or
woman Of 38. or At. or SO can't
look like a boy or girl who has
just discovered that the greatest
excitement in the world is the
basketball game which their high
school wins.

1t does not mean, as the Secre-
tary explained, that there should
not be differences of opinion and
criticism, for those are necessary

arrive at the best possible solution
of our many and complex prob

that we must come to resolution

The Secretary does not spell
out in detail the things that we
show to the world, but he gave
some broad definitions when he
said:
If there are acts or words oi
violence, discrimination and ire
sponsibility, the world sees ano

Such violations here among US
which we are making every effort
to eliminate. go out to the world S
part Of the picture of our Nation
and are seized on and exploited,
and often very grossly exagger-
ated, by those in other nations
who don't like us and our democ-
racy. This is especially true of the
Russians, who, though with no
civil rights of their own, use VIOLA
ton of ours in their propaganda
which is directed, particularly at
this time, at the hundreds of mil
lions in Asia who have thrown off
old bonds and are searching for
a new way of government and
life. We want them to go our way.
This was what Secretary Ache
son was talking about, among
other things.
He also was talking about those
who violate the principles of oul
democracy by wrongly accusing
fellow citizens, some guilty of this
being in responsible positions. An
example is Senator Joseph NC
Carthy, Republican, of Wisconsin,
whom the Secretary denounced as
playing into the hands of the Rus
slams by attacking the integrity Of
our institutions. He reinforced this
point in his discussion of total
diplomacy when he said also:
1--WE cannot use position or in
fiuence for the purpose of getting
some personal or some partisan
advantage without being disloyal
to the. institutions of our Govern
ment."
In the end. democracy is YOU
and you-and you.

Exploited by Extremists
Battle for Soul of G. O. P. in Making
With Growing Influence of Mccarthy

all his associates took that view.
Republicans, he went on, had
never had the fight they must
have to determine where they
stand. He said that so far they
had always at the last moment
CLOSED over their difficulties but
they could not get away with it
again and should not, even If
they could.
This Republican can command
national attention when he
chooses to speak out. He also has
a pretty fair idea now, he thinks,
of who will be on his side.
Lineup After Primaries.
The Republican lineup will be-
gin to be more evident to the
public after the primaries are
over. If Senator Mccarthy can
keep his charges alive-as he
clearly intends to do and prob
ably can-the Democrats expect
to make it impossible for a Re-
publican candidate to evade TAX
ing a stand.
The irony of this is that it is
hardest on those Republicans
whom Democrats most admire.
The COP extremists, having
nothing to lose, can exploit the
Mccarthy charges to the utmost.
Others must risk alternating any
Mccarthy admirers while gaining
me-too label. Meanwhile, they
point out, independent voters are
likely to play safe and run off to
the Democrats.
This problem of the progress
sive Republican is capsuled here
by one wit in the query: Are
Republicans really necessary?
Many liberals feel that the anti
Mccarthy kind are and desire to
help them.
Actually the usual iron law ap-
plies-they must help themselves.
It Is theirs to decide when to
rebel against the growing Nc
Carthy influence. The Senator
from Wisconsin clearly will not
help them by subsiding quietly.

Soviet Shows Its Ability to Exploit

It was in this delicate situation
that Russia, adroitly utilizing its
disruptive opportunity. has come
forward, shooting the moon with
its charges of Western Allied vio-
lation of the Italian peace treaty
and establishment of Western
military and naval bases in the
disputed territory.
The result has been violent re-
action-both official and unom-
cial-from the Italian government
and its people, with the National

lister, Count Carlo Sforza, threaten

Solution Is Not Clear.
How the West is going to settle
this issue Is not clear. Certainly
any solution will be a major test
of Western diplomatic skill. The
easiest part of the whole business
will be to put the Russians in their
place, telling them abruptly to
keep their fingers out of pies that
do not concern them.
But after we have done that
what progress will we have made
toward the conclusive solution Of
this dispute, which is a hangover
from World War I?
The necessity Of showing a
spirit of fairness and sympathy
toward Yugoslavia, which we are
trying to WOO completely away
from the Communist camp, at the
same time that we avoid injuring
too deeply the national pride Of
the Italians, on whom we are
counting as a spearhead in the
further prosecution of the cold
war. is going to require nicely Of
political touch which has not
always distinguished American
diplomacy.
It may be that the United States
and Britain should withdraw more
and more from the role. of impos-
ers of a settlement in Trieste and
assume more the role of mediator
and possibly arbitrator between
Rome and Belgrade. The Trieste
question will never die until an ar
rangement is found that is salts

Heritage Effectively Binds
Nations, Hearne Declares

The cultural and intellectual
heritage Of the Western nations
is a closer bond than pacts or
treaties, Ambassador John J.
Hearne Of Ireland declared last
night.
"Ireland's exclusion from the
United Nations has not ostracized
the Irish nation from the interna-
tional society,"" declared Mr..
Hearne in his first public speech
since becoming Ireland's first rep
resentative here with the rank of
ambassador. He addressed the
nth annual dinner of the Ford
ham University Club Of Washing
ton at the Mayflower Hotel.
Toastmaster for the affair was

Connecticut. Also included among

retary Of Labor Tobin.

ernors and private citizens as well
as ringside observers of the
gravitational pull which Senator
Mccarthy is exerting upon the
COP.
What Senator Mccarthy is
talking about is no riddle. He
thinks that his charges are going
to be the great Republican cam
paign issue this fall. He is cock
sure that they will elect Republi-
cans and return control of Con-
gress to them. Then the party will
be grateful to him and he will
have that national stature. that
leadership for which he Sc
ardently longs.
Boundless Ambition.
Wisconsin editors broke the
news last week to their fellows
that Senator McCarthy's bound
less ambition includes the presi-
dency. He has often said at home,
they related. that he will be the
Nations first Catholic President.
Republicans who believe that
the means used by Senator Nc
Carthy are in direct conflict with
the party's basic Americanism
foresee a bitter struggle for con-
troll. perhaps a deep and perma-
nent schism. Some are still hop
ing that time will diminish the
pressures; others think the pres
sures are already mounting to
the point of inevitable conflict.

Your Health
Tetanus
Qockjaw)

TETANUS is a serious disease
caused by the tetahus bacillus, a
tiny germ which produces a nerve
toxin when it grows in deep wounds,
the U. S. Public Health service re-
ports. The most common symptom
of the disease is a painful spasm
of the jaw muscles. This accounts
for the common name 'lockjaw."
Source of Infection
The, germ which causes tetanus
lives in the intestines of grass-eating
animals, particularly horses. This ac-
counts for the wide distribution of
the germ in and about stables and
farmyards, and in garden soil
treated with animal manure
Human infection is most likely to
result from wounds which carry the
germ deep into the tissues. For ex-
ample, punctured wound such as
occurs from a gunshot or from step
ping on a nail, is more likely to be
followed by tetanus than a surface
abrasion.
symptoms
The first symptoms of tetanus
usually appear from days to 8
weeks after the infection enters a
wound. The most common early
symptoms are stiffness of the neck
muscles and painful spasms (con-
tractions) of the jaw muscles.
Later in the disease, spasms of
other muscles of the body may
occur. The patient may be thrown
into violent convulsions by any noise
or by the slightest Earring.
Outcome
About one-half of the infected
people who develop symptoms die
from the disease. Delay in the recog-
milton of tetanus and in applying
treatment greatly decreases the
chance for recovery. Most of the
deaths occur before the fourth day.
Prevention and Treatment
l. 1t is essential that persons Iiv-
ing in areas, or engaged in occupa-
tons, where there is a special risk
of tetanus be actively immunized
against the disease Immunization
usually requires two to three in
jections of tetanus toxoid followed
by another dose 1 year later and
| ronaafQd cipo1o dococ oIoo,,4 ox,o,.-.
years. Immunization also requires
that another dose be given when
ever wound occurs which might
be infected with tetanus.
2. Punctured or torn wounds, es-
pecially those which are soiled by
dirt or which have bits of clothing
or other contaminated matter forced
into them, require special attention
by a physician.
3. Persons who have not been
actively immunized and who have
wounds which are likely to be in
fected with tetanus must have a
prophylactic (preventive) injection
of anti-tetanus serum A physician
should determine when and if this
treatment is necessary.
4. Persons who develop symptoms
of tetanus must have large doses
of anti-tetanus serum as soon as
possible after symptoms appear.
Ask your health officer whether
you should be immunized. Do moi
