Mr.. Ewing and the Doctors

Doctors frequently make mistakes in
diagnosis. When our diagnosis is wrong,
our treatment is futile. But we have
never erred in diagnosing Mr.. Truman's
veto-man, Federal Security Administra-
tor Oscar r. Ewing. He is the kind of
double-talker who would veto his own
birth certificate From the beginning we
recognized him as an ambitious political
lawyer who wants to become the die
tator of American medicine. Aneurin
Bevin did it in England. So Mr.. Ewing,
with worse manners and greater con-
tempt for truth and logic. should make
it in America.
Mr.. Ewing recently threw one of his
Vishinsky convulsions at the AFL con-
vention. He found our American Medi-
cal Association guilty of "confusions of
reactionary obstructionism." Reducing
his polysyllabic ostentation from obfus-
cation to perspicuity, Lawyer Ewing was
trying to say: Doctors are fighting regi-

Tomatoes lend themselves readily
to seed saving, and quite success
fully, because normally, little
cross-pollination occurs and the
varieties remain fairly pure from
year to year. Saving bean seed is
g common practice of some gar
deners as this crop will remain
quite pure as to variety for several
seasons. However in locations
where bacterial or halo blights are
serious, the gardener is advised to
purchase his bean seed annually
from reliable seed sources. Saving
pea seeds remains a successful
practice of some gardeners and
there seems to be little objection
to doing it with this crop.
One of the crops where the home
gardener should enewe his seed
annually is with potatoes. Potatoes
r very subject to bacterial and
virus diseases and these can build
up quickly, particularly in the gar
den of the amateur. The home
garden who saves his own little
potatoes for seed each year is
likely the one to have the most
trouble from virus and other dis
eases IN his potato patch. The gar
dener who wants the best should
buy certified seed potatoes each
years and thus remain free of the
virus and bacterial diseases which
affect this crop.

Vegetable Harvest and
Saving Vegetable Seeds

Vegetable Harvest and
Saving Vegetable Seeds
One of the advantages of home
grown vegetables is their superior
quality as compared with the pur-
chased product. But this advantage
is lost in poor harvesting and
handling.
1t is of prime Importance to har-
vest the vegetables at the peak of
maturity. Of course this is not so
important with certain vegetables
as with others. Some retain good
quality over a long period of time
Others must be harvested within
a short time if best quality is to be
realized. Sweet corn, beans and to-
matoes are examples of vegetables
belonging to this latter group.
Knowing the correct stage of
maturity for harvesting applies
equally as much to vegetables for
freezing as it does to vegetables
for fresh use on the table.
Much of the valuable vitamin c
is lost in poor handling of fresh
vegetables. If possible, choose a
cool part of the day for harvesting
beans, peas, sweet corn or any of
these highly perishable products.
Chill and store them as soon as
possible after picking, and the
sonner they are used for table or
prepared for freezing, the less will
be the loss of vitamins.
Another question that comes up
at this time of the year is the
gathering and saving of vegetable
seeds. Vegetable seed production
is a rather exacting task and
should be left to the experienced
seed growers. With a few biennial
types like ~parsnips, beets and car
rots, It talks a second season to
raise seeds.

Road Patrol Chief
Says Drivers 1924 In
Too Many Mishaps

Reckless smart aleck

"These," Supervisor England
has said, "are the words that the
public is applying to youthful driv-
ers with ever-increasing frequency
and vehemence. And, yet-as in
practically all such cases-such de-
%scriptions apply only to a small
but conspicuous minority"
The Montana highway patrol,
of which E. H. England, super
visor, is the official spokesman for
the September program of traffic
safety education, admitted that in
view of the harm done by this
minority, some of the adjectives
applied to its members are appar-
emily justified.
"a study of New York state
drivers some time ago." Supervisor
England said, indicated that driv-
ers between IS and "a years old
account for only 10 per cent of
the drivers on the road, but they
were involved in about 81 per cent
of all fatal traffic accidents and
about % per cent of all non-fatal
accidents.
at would appear" he added,
"that drivers in this group are
having about so per cent more ac-
cidents than they might be ex-
pected to have"
Inexperience, coupled with i'm
maturity, are blamed by the Mon
tana highway patrol and the Ma
tional Safety Council for this off
balance, accident record of the
young drivers. Of these two fac
tors, immaturity far out-ranks in
experience as the more dangerous.
Adequate formal training in
correct driving attitudes, behind
the-wheel training, and a good ex-
ample by older drivers, the patrol
said, is the three-pronged attack
on the problem that must be taken.
Until this three-way approach
is universally accepted" England
said, "all of us-young and old
alike-must suffer the penalties.
The immature teen-age drivers will
continue to kill themselves at a
nigh rate and take a lot of us

Parents will continue to suffer

"The Essayons' Orchestra tried

weeks was found not to be con-
ducive to the most exquisite tone
and expression.
The group later moved to Will

and little is known of its work
after that until 1922.

Gen. Douglas Macarthur was an

records to prove it. However. Maj.
Gen. Philip B. Fleming, retired,
Undersecretary of Commerce for
Transportation and former Fed
eral Works Administrator, was a
member and other well known
persons have been members.

.ChrysIer and Union
Silent on Rumors Of
Early Settlement
Bv the Associoted Press

DETROIT, Mar. 18.-Everyone
except those who should know
best-the company and union
seems to think the prolonged
Chrysler strike is near settlement.
AS the shutdown went through
it's SD day, rumors buzzed around
industry circles that it wouldn't
last much longer.
Just what prompted them no
body professed knowing.
Negotiators for Chrysler and the
CIO United Auto Workers held
what from outward appearances
was another in a long series of
routine sessions. Federal and State
mediators were hopeful, but not
optimistic.
Two Factors Involved.
| Two factors apparently con-
tributed to the optimism of others:
Final settlement of the Ford pen
sion plan and Federal Mediation
Chief Cyrus Ching's conferences
this week with Chrysler and UAW
officials
The Ford plan provides for a
| jointly administered trust fund
from which workers will be paid
enough, at age IS, to supplement
Federal social security benefits
and assure $100 = month pen
sions. 1t does not require the COM
pany to set aside any specific
amount for each hour worked by
union members, as originally de-
manded by the UAW. But Ford
has agreed to set aside 834 cents
an hour until the end of this year
or until social security benefits
are raised.
Ching Holds Conferences.
Details of the Ford plan had
figured in hot arguments over the
Chrysler bargaining table. The
final Ford agreement may settle
these and help clear the air.
Mr.. Ching talked in Washington
Wednesday with UAW President
Walter Reuther. He held SINH
lar conference in New York yester-
day with Chrysler Vice President
Herman L. Weckler and Labor
Relations Director Robert w. Con-
der.
He said these informal talks did
not amount to top-level Govern
ment intervention. But some OBJ
servers believe he might have in
jected some new ideas into the
deadlocked dispute.
Chrysler has offered to guaran-
tee $100-a-month pensions to its
$4,000 production workers. But il
has insisted on paying them out
of operating funds rather thar
from a trust fund. 1t also has
refused to share administration oi
the plan with the UAW.
Scores of non-economic contract
issues have been raised since the
January 25 walkout.
