New electricc rates for street
lighting and for churches, schools
and hospitals would 90 into eff
feet if the City Commission at tos

Sodium Fluoride Treatment
Given Children At Truman
Elementary School Here

4 Here's report on the progress
tof chemical warfare at the Tru-
I man Elementary School
! The sodium fluoride demon
stration team is fighting chemi-
cal battle against tooth decay
over there. The team is super.
vised by the State Health Dc
partnent, and viii reduce new
decay some 40 percent through
applications of sodium fluoride
to the teeth of the kids.
| Already, in just two weeks, 437
first treatments, 292 second and
1870 third treatments have been
given. AS you have probably
heard by now. every child should
receive the fluoride. applications
as new teeth come in. or at about
ages 3. 7, 10, and H., But II a child
is between those ages he should
have the treatment right away.
The point is, we need to protect
the teeth rs soon as possible, and
then as new teeth come in. A
single treatment consists of a
series of four applications, the
first application being preceded
by a cleansing of the teeth.
If, in general, people realized
that today cavities are forming
A to 5 times faster than the pres
ent number of dentists can fill
them, they would see the neces-
sity for preventive program.
From our observation in the Tru-
man School, about SO percent Of
the children need dental care.
will be a high percentage of the
entire enrolment To quote a
few figures, of the children ex-
amined to date, 95 have had
permanent teeth extracted; SO
others have permanent teeth
which appear to be beyond re-
pair and they probably WIN have
to be extracted. The number Of
primary or decldious teeth which
we have seen that need repairing
is legion. Too many of US over
look the importance of the first
set of teeth. During the early
years of life when the body is
doing its most important growth
and development, or children
are handicapped because of the
condition of their teeth. With
the broken down carious and
often abcessed teeth, the children
are unable to chew their food
properly at the time when i is
needed most With such thoughts
as these the arguments for the
necessity of a preventive such as
sodium flubride are convincing.
Wednesday Of this week will
be the last day for new patients.
If there is any patron of the Tru-
man School who has not signed a
slip giving permission to have
their children treated. they are
urged to do so immediately.

ADA. Serves Notice
Of HssII1dependency
Francis BiddIe Is
NelU Chairman
Of Group against
US. Communism

WASHINGTON, April 3.-(Pl.
AT their convention here, the
ADA people have gone on record
as reaffirming their independence
of both the Truman Fair Deal
and the Democratic Party. They
have served notice that they are
free agents, not a junior partner
in coalition. They will con-
tinue to support the Fair Deal
only as long as it squares with
their own detectives.
The ADA detectives are frank
~ left Of center, and are perhaps
best personified by such individ-
uals as President Walter Reuther
of the Clio United Auto Workers
Union The ADA is staunchly
anti-Communist, and its chief APP
peal is to Liberals who reject
Communism as the answer to
mankind's ills. The ADA's new
Neglected national chairman, the
former attorney general, Francis
Biddle, puts it in these words:
1--WE defy the Left and defy
the Reactionaries of the Right,
and stand for the human center !"
Here's how the group declared
its independence:
A policy statement had been
drawn up, including a section
that said:

Flying Bixbys
Grounded In India
By Engine Trouble

CALCUTTA, India, April g.
tP1-The Flying Bixbys were
grounded here by engine trouble
today, but they still have a
chance to set new round-the-
world record.
1t was early this morning when
their converted British mosquito
bomber arrived in Calcutta, we'll
beyond the halfway point on
their globe girdling junket. They
stayed there about an hour-re-
filling the tanks with gasoline.
Then the man-and-wife flying
team set off again into the wide
blue yonder
They were headed for Tokyo,
hoping to make the $500 miles
nonstop in a flight across Red
China.
But they hadn't been in the
air so minutes when one of the
engines went bad. So back to
Calcutta went the plane.
At last word, Bonn and Dianna
Bixby had a chance to beat the
late Bill Odom's record, if they
could get the engine fixed and be
on their way again in three or
four hours. On that historic l947
flight Odom made it around the
world in 70 hours, five minutes
and IL seconds. The Bixbys had
hoped to do it in 66 hours,
Until the engine trouble de-
veloped, the California couple
were riding neck-and-neck with
Odom's time. The delay here
put them at least four hours be-
hind Odom's schedule. Hut given
a quick repair job, and a little
luck, they may still be able to
make up the difference.
When they first reached. Cal
cutta the Bixbys had ll,78l
miles behind them. That leaves
about nine-thousand miles to go.
Their converted two-engine
bomber. christened the Huntress,
IS painted silver and red. Mrs
Bixby bought it in Florida for
$4,000.

Club could raise as much as pos
sible of this amount. He told tho
children that another matinee

man again today interviewed in

Sending a message to U. S. Sc

Bernstein Has
For Sale Sign
On His Land
Says He Will Build
Apartment House
LIZ Coming Remains

In Fridays Citizen, story was
printed to the effect that Ben
Bernstein of New York, would
erect a $4,000 apartment house
on land he owns near the Casa
Marina, providing the City's zon-
ing board would not raise his
classification to A from ABB.
Bernstein stated that a small
group of people were trying to
retard the growth and develop
ment of modern housing that is
sorely needed in the Island City.
Today the other side of the
story was heard. Said high city
official:
Mr.. Ben Bernstein has never
appeared before the planning
commission to object to the pro-
posed raise in coming classified
ton for the area in question. No
plan has eyer been submitted and
no application for a building per-
NIT has ever been made.
Il understand within the past
two weeks. he (Bernstein) has
had preliminary sketches prepar-
ed for an apartment house but
this was not done until after the
change in coming was advertised
Meanwhile the property is now
for sale and has been for several
months.
THE fact that he wants to put
an apartement building on the
site is news to me. but if he
is sincere and will put up a bond
to the effect that such an apart
ment will be started within the
next six months, l will be glad

MARSHALL CRITICIZES REDUCTION
Oh. ERP PAYMENTS TO EUROPE

WASHINGTON, April 3.-tH9.
General George Marshall has
criticized what he calls propos-
ais to emasculate and reduce" the
European Recovery Program.
The General says that the Mar
shall Plan should end on sche-
dule, at the end of June, 1852.
Marshall is one of the speakers
today at a meeting of Marshall
Plan officials marking the half
way point of the four-year recov-
cry program.
In a prepared address, the
General says;
Looking again at the condi-
tions prevalent in the spring of
l947, and again considering the
situation at this moment, / can
only feel that one near miracle
has been accomplished. We must
work for, and expect, another
miracle"
Marshall says the United States
should stuck to its schedule end
ing the program in 1852 because,
IF the date is settled and clear,
it will spur the work of the Euro
pean leaders to accomplish the
extremely difficult task ahead, Of
lifting themselves above the need
for our financial assistance"
Marshall also refers to Com
munist efforts to scuttleatlie Mar
shall Plan and says that winning
this struggle is as vital to- the
peace and prosperity of the world
as any military campaign in his
tory"
Marshall warns: Make no mis-
take about it. The chips are
down"
