Builders Of Mouse Traps--Death Traps
White E1ephants---And Things Eternal

port beams are swagging and said
to be cracking. There appears to
be an eight or ten inch bagging
in the main beam over the pulpit.
The main floor of the auditorium
has bagged toward the front, under
its own weight. This botch death
trap is silently waiting big con-
,vention or a great halleluiah shout
ing to give the proper vibration
and weight, to take a great toll to
Kingdom Come.
Whoever is responsible for the
dangerous way this church is built
should be chased off the highest
cliff with a bull whip.
We are reminded of another kind
of monstrous building. A big one
built sound but so large that it does
not serve mankind well. These
are the pyramids of Africa which
are monuments to slave labor and
fool tyrants who had big ideas.
There are buildings also known as
white elephants. These white ele-
phant buildings are ones that yield
little or no profit. They are a bur-
densome possession. When they
are built however, the intention is
always the same-to do something
bigger than the other fellow. But
their usefulness is always destroyed
by the great burden of erecting
and upkeep.
In Memphis, Tenn, live within
/ q foxu blocks of the Great Mason
Temple, of the Holiness Church.
If ever there was white elephant,
that's it. Every night it STANDS
like a sad black muontain unllght-
ed. There is no community activ-
| ity there during the week. The
church members have regular serv-
ices in a smaller church, blocks
away. Why? Because it is too ex-
pensive to open the large church
except for the big meetings, like
the annual convention or special
events. &
In building something big and
burdensome, the time has come
when working folks need to exer-
else plenty of hard common sense.
First the building plans should be
carefully examined and the cost
gone into not only for the reason
no one should build a white ele-
phant, but for the reason that poor
people should otherwise build
Something else more close to their
immediate need. Such as homes
and schools, places of business, fac
tories, banks, nurseries, mine shafts
etc. And when you have examined
the building plans examine the
head of the person who is the am
bilious one, to see if his head is
alright too. Then examine your
own pocket book and the employ
ment situation. For when it comes
to the push and the shove, as the
payments become due, the burden
will be hard and the laborers few.
Less than one tenth of the men,
bers must always carry the load
of the other nine.
Right now we are reminded OF
the building plans of the First In
stitutional Baptist Church, or who
ever there in, with ambitious
plans for BUILDING. several weeks
ago this paper was taken to taks
by the pastor of this church for not
giving big publicity to the great
event of the ground breaking on
Jefferson Street and for not ad-
vertising the building campaign for
a Community Center on the same
spot, which will cost one hundred
and fifty thousand dollars. Now il
the church is to cost two hundred
and fifty thousand dollars, add
these two figures together the total
cost will be ($4OO,OO0) four hundred

Nose Disturbance Moy Produce
Headache in Lower Port of Forehead

nose. Experimental studies were
carried out on the walls of the
nose and sinuses to discover the
places or sites at which pain Is
produced. In no case did stim-
ulating these spots In the nose
cause pain in back of head. For
years many physicians have be-
lieved that stimulation of lining
Of nose was q cause Of pain at
back Of head.
DR.. Mollinson classifies nose or
nasal headaches into % those in
connection with the walls of the
nose. CD those in connection with
the sinuses adjoining the nose and
90 those due to the neuralgias.
Simple pressure on the middle
turbinal or turbinate bone in nose
Is often regarded as the most COM
mon cause Of headache due to a
nose condition. This pressure may
be due to polyp or other growth.
Pressure occurs against the branch
Of the large blood vessel supplying
the head and neck.
The lesson from the above is
that when a headache is just
above the eyebrow or lower part of
forehead. it is often due to some
disturbance in the nose.

1t is agreed there are not less
than $50 known causes Of head
ache. Physicians today take a
headache seriously, not because
headache is considered dangerous
but because they know that con-
slant or frequent headaches can
wear down" the strongest nerves.
Many cases Of headache are be-
lieved to be due to pressure OF
some kind-gas pressure, pressure
on certain nerves from deformi-
ties, defects or injuries.
Pain or ache in forehead is
often thought to be due to defec-
tive vision. It is Of interest to
learn that defective vision is not
the commonest cause Of an ache
in the forehead above the eyes;
such q pain Is more often due to
disturbances Of the nose and the
siriuses adjoining 1t. Headache
due to gas pressure from stomach
and intestine occurs most often
in middle Of forehead and also at
back of head.
In Irish Journal of Medical Sci
ence, Dublin. DR.. w. M. Mollinson

by Or. Covers, pain felt just above

Deadlock Continues
In ChrysIer Strike
By the Asseeietsd Prsss

DETROIT. April 22.-Federal
mediators reported a hopeless
deadlock" in the sS-day-old Chrys-
ler strike early today and threat
ened to call of peace talks for a
while. ..
Arthur c. Wat. regional director
of the Mediation and Cancellation
Service, made the bleak report
after a long bargaining session
broke up at l am.
It put a damper on latest hopes
for quick return to the job of
$4,000 Chrysler workers, whose
strike already is the second longest
in auto industry. It's cost is esti-
mated now at billion and a
quarter dollars.
The deadlock developed sover a
series of non-economic contract
matters after a general agreement
had been reached in the pension
dispute from which the strike
stemmed. Mediators had hoped
for weekend settlement.
Mr.. Wat said another meeting
would be held this afternoon and
unless the company or the CIO-
United Auto Workers is prepared
to give ground at that time, he
said. mediators will call for an
indefinite cooling OF" period of
perhaps several days.

out by responsible administration
policy makers.
Meanwhile, by public state
ments such as Mr.. Acheson's. by
making use of the Voice of Amer
lea foreign broadcasts, the State
Department is pointing to the
Baltic incident as proof of it's
basic policy line: That Russia is
primarily concerned not with
world peace but with the expan-
sion of Soviet Communism.
Mr.. Acheson called the claim
that an American B-29 had vio-
lated Soviet territory fictitious" "
He linked the Russian notes on
this incident with Soviet inter-
vention in the Trieste situation
and with the renewal of Moscow S
demand for special rights in the
Dardanelles. All three, he said,
are evidence that the Soviet Union
this spring is trying to stir up
trouble in critical areas of the
world.
While Mr.. Acheson's words we're
calm, angry phrases characterized
the reaction in Congress.
Mr.. Mccormack branded the
Russian attitude as insulting"
Chairman Vinson Of the House
Armed Services Committee called
the destruction of the American
plane and its crew cold blooded
murder of Americans by a foreign
power" What the United States
needs, Mr.. Vinson said. is armed
forces strong enough Ito insure
Russian respect"
While Russian planes have
orders to fire on foreign aircraft
which fly over their territory and
refuse to land, American pilots
have orders not to shoot under
similar circumstances unless in
structed to do so from the ground.
The difference was pointed up
yesterday by Russia's note.
The note from Moscow, made
clear that Russian pilots have
standing instructions to use their
guns when foreign aircraft resist
a command to land on Soviet ter
ritory.
American airmen could not fire
on their own hook unless the
foreign plane committed an openly
hostile act, the Air Force said.
Under a recent order covering
the continental United States, the
North Atlantic corridor and Amer
lean bases overseas, unidentified
planes are to be challenged and
pursued until they turn away
from restricted areas.

Mrs. Drewry's defense rested on

an American B-29 flew over Soviet
Latvia. opened fire on Russian
fighter planes and was in turn
fired on-after which 1t disap-
peared. That was precisely the
position which the Kremlin had
taken in a previous protest to
Washington last week.
Between the two Russian COM
munications, the United States
had sent a note declaring that
there were no military aircraft in
the Baltic on April 8 other than
an unarmed Navy Privateer. that
it was this plane which Soviet
fighters had attacked, and that
the plane was lost as a result.
This country took the position.
which Mr.. Acheson reaffirmed
yesterday, that Russia should pay
indemnities for the loss of Amer
lean lives and property, and that
the incident itself harmed peace
and orderly diplomatic relations.
Russia retorted that it couldn't
even consider the indemnity de-
mand.
Could Appeal to U. N.
The United States could now
appeal to the United Nations on
the ground that world peace had
been endangered by Russian ac-
ton or to the International Court,
charging a violation of interna-
tional law.
However, some of Mr.. Acheson's
advisers feel that either course
probably would be useless.
A basic consideration in State
Department thinking. it was
learned, is to try to avoid actions
which will needlessly dramatize
the affair or inflame public opin-
ion, thus increasing uneasiness
over the prospect of war.
In line with this thinking-and
also because most officials say the
United States would have little
to gain from such a move-the
idea of disrupting all official con-
tact with Russia is generally ruled

.Miko|ajczyk' BIames
Russian Leader for
u. ). Plane SINKING

Stanislaw Mikolajczyk. last head
of the wartime Polish government
last night charged that Marsha
lKonstantin K. Rokossovsky one
of Russia's top military leaders
was partly responsible" for the
disappearance Of United States
Navy Privateer plane over the
Baltic Sea about a week ago.
Rokossovsky now is understood
to be defense minister of Red-oc-
cupied Poland. Mr.. MikolajcZyk
said the Marshal was sent tc
Poland to promote Communist
strategy from the Sudetenland tc
the Baltic.
During a question and answe.
period which followed his lecture
at Georgetown University lasi
night, Mr.. Mikolajczyk pointed
out Rokossovsky's accountability
in the plane incident because the
Marshal is primarily responsible
for building up a Baltic defense
system"
Partly to Blame He Says.
For that reason "he is partly to
blame for the incident" the
speaker charged. He added that
Russia has cleared out Polish res
idents along the Baltic coast to
eliminate any Interruptions in
construction of the defense in
stallations.
The lecture. one In the uni
versity's International Relations
Inquiry series. was held under
auspices of the Graduate School
Department of Political Science
Mr.. Mikolajczyk's topic was so
vietism and Satellite Countries
after World War IL"
The speaker, who now lives here
as a political refugee, served as
premier. representing the Peasant
Party. in the first postwar Polish
cabinet. He managed to escape
in late 1947. with the secret police
at his heels, following a losing
struggle against his homeland's s
conversion into a Soviet-dom-
mated police state.
Describes Technique.
In describing the techniques
used by Soviet Russia in fostering
it's goal of world domination, Mr.
Mikolajczyk emphasized how Rus
sia used economic and political
strategies in bringing the popu-
lations of the 10 satellite nations
within the Iron Curtain to their
knees.
If all these methods fail in
bringing a nation into the Com
munist fold, the Communist police
are expected to do the job, the
speaker commented.
Mr.. Mikolajczyk also said he
does not think it would be wise for
the Russian-dominated Polish peo-
pie to rebel against the Commu-
nists. He said it would result In
needless bloodshed. as has hap
pened before.
