The W00DpItE
LEARN ONE NEW THING EACH DAY
BY r. JOHN WOOD

Learn one new thing each day, l always say, but l wasn't pre-
pared for what 1 was to learn when l read an account of a meeting
of the British Association at Birmingham, England. Boy, did l learn
something! Hold on to your seats Cor bar stools) and get ready for
the shock. Here it is, Chum-Two and two amt four!
That's what I said Chum, two and two amt four! Never mind
my English, if two and two amt four then faint amt bad English,
and besides, a lot of people who amt saying amt amt eating $50 Will
Rogers once said).
YOU HAVE THE WORD of Professor E. H. Neville that two
plus two do not equal four, and far be it from me to get into an
argument with an intellectual dreadnaught like the Professor. He's
Mr.. Who's Who of physics and mathematics in England, and besides
he left m e behind when he got away from one plus one.
Says the Professor, "the whole history of mathematics is fit
gossip for scandal (other columnists please not) and this is more
notorious in geometry No n ever pretended that Euclid sue
ceeded in defining a straight line.
How do you like that? Up to now all Euclid ever meant to
me was a avenue at which a bus stopped after going a block be-
yond, and a straight line accepted as ar imaginary stripe DRINKS
usually walk on to prove they aren't drunk. Now the Professor tells
me Euclid was a mathematician and a straight line is something he's
supposed to have defined but didn't.
So two and two Amt four, and a straight line has never been
defined! That means that when the drunk walks a straight line that
isn't straight, he isn't drunk at all; you think he's staggering when,
really, your eyes are just rolling around in your head.
BEND AN EAR WHILE the Professor really gets hot. Says
he: "Iti equally true that in the other great division of the subject,
to say that two and two make four becomes IN improbable hypo-
thesis (ook it up yourself, Pm busy. That two apples and two
apples is plain enough, but the mathematician requests us to con-
slider the abstract two. His two is not merely fiction, but an incon-
ceivable fiction (Which is exactly what the little wife thinks about
the two dresses you're always promising but never produce).
Here is the Professors cincher: mathematics may be defined
as a subject in which we never know what we are talking about"
No truer words were ever spoken through false teeth, and if
you don't believe the professor is right on that last count, just read
this column over again.

ting children who play after dark.
October is the beginning of the
most critical period of the year for
pedestrian safety" Mr.. Kennedy
said. This is due mainly to the ex-
tension of darkness into that period
of the day when people are return
ing home from work, and children
are out playing. It's the time of year
when children frequently will be
out after dark, playing in the halmy
weather. They will be especially ac-
tive, and a driver can never be sure
when a child will dart into the path
of his car"
Mr.. Kennedy pointed out that
Halloween night and the evenings
preceding it are periods when chill
dren are more likely than ever to
be playing outside.
children on Halloween will be
unusually active and less likely to
think of their own safety" he said
"It is up to the motOrist to double

THOROUGH TREATMENT URGED
FOR NERVOUS DISORDERS

NEW YORK - up - The lives
of at least 100000 Americans are
being wasted by mental and emo
tional illness, says Oren Root, pres
ident of the National Association
for Mental Health. The waste is
all the worse for coming when ma
tional emergency demands maxi
mum productivity from the people,
he added.
Steps to reduce this loss and
tragedy, he said. are: More re-
search on cause and treatment of
psychological disorders; training
of many more psychiatrists, clini-
cal psychologists, and psychiatric
social workers, nurses and aides;
a wide network of local clinics for
first aid treatment of mental and
emotional berakdowns; an awak-
ened public concern about mental
illness.

Eoany speakers across the country to fan the flames of the Internal Revenue scandals into hot polit- ical issue for 1852. To supply the ammunition, the Senate COP policy committee has done painstaking research job, which will be sent out for the confidential use of Re- publicans.
 This eight-page research pamph- let goes into the case histories o1 27 officials who are linked directly or indirectly with the Internal Re- venue scandals. It also gives help ful hints on how to slant the scan- dals in order to embarraSs the Tru- man administration. Here are some sample quotes, which the pamphlet suggests to Republican speakers:
 "The Bureau of Internal Revenue, with all the power it exercises over the most intimate financial affairs of the public, should be citadel of integrity But the dishonest acts of the Truman Administration ap- pointees a~c diScrediting it in the minds of tho people," the confiden- tial COP pamphlet charges.
 What brought this sorry state of affairs to the bureau, which for so long was held in wide acclaim and was a stronghold of public confidence?" demands the pamph- let. Nearly twenty years of en- trenched government sowed the seeds of corruption. The Truman administration is reaping now the fruits of its own abuse of political power.
 "One bevy of political hacks, chiselers and ward heelers has suc- ceeded another in top-flight jobs within the agency" the confiden- tial COP instruction continues. Generosity in political campaign contributions has been the open sesame for incompetents to aspire and obtain jobs. The Truman ad- ministration has sired the corrup- tion of the tax collection agency by the intrusion of a brand of pol itics which makes no distinction be- tween political loyalty and integ- rity."
The Daily Alaska empire., 1951-11-09
MERRY-GO-ROUND PIONEERED

The interesting thing about the 27 case histories. prepared by the COP policy committee, is that they are headed by Daniel A. Bolich, formerly No. man in the Internal Revenue Bureau, who requested re-assignment last August because of his health" However, no official charges have been made against Bolich, and the COP research guide underlines this fact to keep Repub- lican speakers out of a law suit.
 Of Bolich, the COP states: "In- cluded only because during revela- tions of irregularities, Bolich re- quested reassignment for reasons of health, August IA, 1851. No charges have been made against Bolich." These were the only un- derlined passages in the pamphlet. F Thus the pamphlet has laid down the line that COP speakers will be following on the soapbox circuit.
 Note-This column began inves- tigating the Internal Revenue Bu- reau three years ago, was the first to expose the tax scandals that led to the dismissal of Collectors James ", Johnson in New York City and James Smythe in San Francisco.

 The importance of this legislation cannot be overestmated That clear title exists to the greater part of Alaska's land has long proven barrier to the development of the Territory. Venture capital, sorely needed for Alaskas industrial growth is wary of sizeable investment in property of dubious title Until such time all native land claims finally adjudicated, look for little in the way of industrial development.
 The hard and painstaking effort exerted by the committee in these last few days is to be commended We hope that the legislation will be carefully considered by their colleagues in the Congress when it comes up for debate.

The COP campaign letter also at- Jacks the man Truman appointed to clean up the Internal Revenue Bu- reau-Commissioner John Dunlap.
 There is nothing on the record to show that there would have been any attempt at cleanup within the Bureau, except for outside prod ding" declares the COP brochure. Tt was not until after several cases had been exposed to the public view that the commissioner of Internal Revenue, John Dunlap, on October 3 ordered an investigation of the tax returns of all officials and en- forcement officers of the bureau. Dunlap was confirmed by the Sen- ate several months before on July l8." -
 Note-the truth is, Dunlap began the cleanup the moment he was appointed. However. he tried to do
