that the Presidents thinking is
only a reflection of current Penta-

In a three-page statement on
the monumental misunderstand-

tragedy" is that "it is quite OBJ
vious there is no one available
in high places to advise the Presi-

Incensed at the Presidents
charges of a propaganda ma

Seattle attorney, told reporters
the Marines always have had
"front-page publicity" but that it
came as a result of the corps
deeds. He said the Marines have
the smallest publicity staff of any
armed service.
Attacking Mr.. Truman's stand
that the Marines represent the
police force" of the Navy, the Re-
serve officers group said the corps
has never been known as police
corps" except in a slang sense.
The Marines job now, accord

By The Asseeioted Press

COLUMBUS, Ga, Sept. 6.-The
Democratic Party in Georgia de-
fed the law when it challenged
Supreme Court rulings on racial
segregation, Federal Judge de-
clared here
A resolution adopted by the
State Democratic Convention,
which said in effect that Georgia
would never allow mixing of races
regardless of decisions by the Su-
preme Court, was sharply criti-
cized yesterday by Federal Judge
A. B. Conger.
1t was "the sputum of neg
ligible, vicious, vociferous, selfish
few" Judge Conger said in q
prepared charge to a Federal
grand jury.
The convention, which met last
month, renominated Gov. Herman
Talmadge, long an advocate of
white supremacy.
"The resolution not only COM
mitted those participating, but
invoked the aid of all State and
local peace officers to defy the
Supreme Court decision y
Judge Conger added.
When the convention took ac-
tion on the resolution. party
leaders said they were willing to
go to jail to uphold their prin-
cipleS.
Judge Conger had never held
public office before his appoint
ment last year to the bench of
the Middle District of Georgia.
Among his supporters for the post
was Senator George, Georgia. S

Our derry" Christmas
Happy Christmas spirit is
somewhat dampened this year
with the thoughts of the many
empty places at the festive
! board, and the appalling number
of those never to be filled again.
We Americans, however, are
a naturally cheerful people, in
cllned to make the best of a
situation that we cannot change.
1T is my sincere hope that all
the people of Seward can escape
| for few hours into the Make
Believe land Of Christmas with
the little ones. Escape from the
dark cloud hanging over us in
celebrating the birthday of the
Prince of Peace, Whose peace
is broken by mans inhumanity
to man, the human error. By
renewing our faith now we can
be fortified to face the future
with greater courage.
Let's enjoy this Christmas
with the children, too. After
the big Day, when all the new
sleds and skis are on the streets,
let's think of the children every
minute, slowing down the traf-
fic, giving them right-ofway
What does it matter if business
does slow down for a few days?
Let them play, let them sleigh
ride, let them have the town,
give them a good time-for
surely, it is later than we think
1t would be wonderful to make
Christmas, 1850, one they will
always remember.
l have heard several remark
that 1T just does not seem like
Christmas. The Yuletide, like
everything else, is just what we
make of it. The Spirit of Christ

At the same time, he added, the
technique might find wide use for
Identification records of civilians.
Identification Value Stressed.
Admiral Rault, who will be-
come dean of the Georgetown
University Dental School in July,
stressed the Importance of dental
records in crime detection and
other identification in a talk at
the District Dental Society's an
nual conference yesterday in the
Shoreham Hotel.
The new camera apparatus was
developed in Bethesda after four
years research by Chief Dental
Technician Barney l.. Taylor.
1t consists of lights to illumi-
nate the inside of the mouth and
a mirror arrangement which
shows all surfaces of the teeth.
Separate pictures are taken for
the upper and lower sets of teeth.
Another set of mirrors reflects a
set of numbers into the camera
field, by which the picture
records can be identified.

Chief Taylor said the unit was
tested on $50 men at the Ana
costa Receiving Station last
month. An average of 40 min
Futes were required for three pic
lures of each man. He said he
thought the time could be re-
duced to 2 minutes, however.

Dentists See Drills
Necessary Despite
Gas-Stream Technique

Chances are there'll be no COM
plete escape from the dentist S
drill. even with availability of the
highly publicized "air abrasive
machine.
That was the consensus of den
lists who saw a movie demonstra-
ton of the new technique yester-
day at session of the District
Dental Society's conference in the
Shoreham Hotel.
But they conceded that the
machine. which uses tiny abrasive
powders in a high-pressure stream
of gas to cut through teeth struc-
lures and clean surfaces, should
go long way toward eliminating
pain and speeding dental treat
ment.
Cite Gaps in Work.
After the gas stream has
scooped out a cavity in prepara
ton for a filling, dentists ex-
planned, the drill still will have tc
be used to cut spaces for anchor
ing the filling. While the ma
chine promises to clean tooth
surfaces easily, they added, areas
under the gum will have to be
cleaned by hand.
The machines, which eliminate
pain in nearly all cases, are ex-
pected to be available in about q
year, officials said.
Surgical discussions highlighted
discussions today, meanwhile, as
the dentists entered the final ses-
sion of their four-day meeting.
Plastics for Cavities.
Attracting wide interest at the
meeting were commercial exhibits
of plastic materials used to fill
cavities in certain teeth. The plas-
tic filings, which may be used in
stead OF synthetic porcelain in
front-teeth cavities, have been
available for about a year.
A chief advantage, dentists said,
is that they do not wash away
in the fluids Of the mouth.
At the same time, they said, the
materials apparently maintain the
close-matching color of normal
teeth and produce less sensitivity
to tooth nerves than commonly
used materials,
