STRAIGHT AHEAD
WHAT'S WRONG WITH THE
BIG HEAD?'

NEW YORK - Global - FORT
some time now the question OF
whether Jackie Robinson has the
"big head" has been debated
around the country, in news
papers, in tavernS, barber shops
and on street corners. In private
conversations, you will find more
people who are willing to say
the Brooklyn Dodgers star has
an inflated head than you will
be able to find in the Press.
Critics hesitate to asSail a reign
ing king publicly.
However, it would seem that
there could be nothing wrong
with saying point blank" that
Robinson does have a "big head" v
Why shouldn't he have? Big
heads are a. mark of superiority,
possessed only by the elite.
Any man who has achieved the
success and adulation that has
been Robbie's and then say he
hasn't acquired what is generally
described as a big head simply is
not telling the truth. Not to be-
come inflated while riding the
crest of such popularity would
be unnatural. The trick is not to
allow prestige and popularity to
make fool of you" So the
question, as we see it, is not
whether Jackie has a big head
but rather whether he is wearing
his new sized hat with dignity.
There are certain responsible
ties placed upon individuals
after they become what we call
celebrities. They don't exactly
belong to themselves or their
families. 1t is a price they must
pay for popular acceptance.
Hence they are besieged by adj
miring fans for autographs, for
smiles and small talk. Sometimes
these fans can be harassing, but
the star with big head but a
! balanced mind and an under

Scientists To
Hunt Minerals

CINCINNATI, lap - The
American Geological Institute is
urging mobilization officials to
keep an increasing number of
trained scientists in the search for
strategic mineral supplies.
That was the report from DR..
John L. Rich, head of the uni
versity of Cincinnati Geology
Geography department.
DR.. Rich said the institute,
which has 1900 members, fears
loss of trained geologists an d
geophysicists to the armed forces
will materially weaken the ma
tion's ability to meet any future
all-out emergencies.
''The institutes board of di-
rectors has called upon mobiliza-
ton planners and educational
agencies" he said, ito maintain
an increasing number of geolo-
gists and geophysicists at work to
locate enlarging amounts of stra-
tegic mineral supplies needed for
civilian and military purposes.
The search for mineral sup
plies is done blindly and ineffect-
ively unless under the guidance
Of trained and expert scientists,

Agency Requests
Health Insurance

WASHINGTON, (AP) - The
Social Security Administration
says the government should close
what the agency described as a
large gap in security for Ameri-
can workers by adding health in
surance to the social security pro-
gram.
The agency made the recon-
mendation in its annual report to
Congress.
Congress has thus far been cool
to administration suggestions for
a health insurance program paid
for by compulsory payroll de-
ductions.
The report said private health
insurance cannot meet the needs
of all the people and government
subsidized private insurance
would be costly, complicated and
only partially effective"
