Henry WcLenore:
Must Admit Athens, Greece,
Prettier Than Athens, Ga.
Henry McLenore

ATHENS.-As reluctant as I
am to admit it, I must in
honesty say that this Athens is
a trifie prettier than the Athens
I was brought up in, meaning,
Athens. Ga.
OF course, this Athens had a
quite substantial head start.
being known as far back as $50
BIC. whereas the Dixie Athens
didn't get around to coming into
being until 1901 or thereabouts.
That's a big pull, $500 years.
Given another 20 centuries and
who knows but the Dixie Athens
will have produced men like
Socrates and Pericles and not
have to lean so heavily on Cat
fish Smith. frankie Sinkwich
and Charlie Trippi. it's immor-
tai football gods.
Speaking of football, the
Athens (GaD stadium is one
you'd like to spend your October
afternoons in, waving a pennant
while your chrysanthemummed
sweetheart snuggled alongside.
In my day have seen most of
the major stadiums in this
country, but there isn't one
that can hold a candelabrum to
the Athens stadium. It is OF
snow white marble and was
built SO years ago. but on walk
ing through its gates you would
swear it was brand, spanking
new, and was awaiting dedi-
cation.
Speaking of gods, the Greeks
of way back yonder did all right
by their gods and goddesses. I
never have been the sort of
traveller who threw conniption
fits of rapture at the sight of
ruins. but the Acropolis and the
buildings which adorn it come
closer to converting me to a
worshipper of ruins than I
thought possible.
You don't have to know ar
chitecture, which 7 don't, or art,
which I don't. or anything else,
to get a tremendous inner salts
faction from the Parthenon.
This undoubtedly sounds silly
coming from me, but the Par
thenon of Pericles, which had
been standing centuries before
Christ, has the grace Of a soar
ing bird. the purity of laugh
ing child, the magnificence of
a storm. and is the one work of
art that I have ever seen that
I am sure I would never grow
tired of.

ways different. That may not
make sense, but it's true. A

marble takes on different hue.

Congress Should Amend Unficoton Law
With Retirement of General Bradley
David Lowrence:

When Gen. Bradley said the
other day that he expects to
retire next August on the ex-
piration of his two-year term as
chairman of the Joint Chiefs of
Staff, most people jumped to
the conclusion that Admiral
Sherman, chief of naval opera
tions. would be his successor.
Although Admiral Sherman is
really a genius in joint organi-
zation and has a keener under
standing Of the inter relation
ships of the armed services than
almost any other man on active
duty in our military establish
ment today. there is a growing
feeling here that no successor
at all ought to be appointed.
The moment Admiral Sher-
man would step out of his post
as Chief of Naval operations,
America would lose at the head
of its Navy one of it's most
valuable operating men. The
duties of the chairman do not
involve operations. In fact,
there is much question among
students of the present defense
law whether creating the posi-
tion of Chairman" was not a
mistake in the first place. The
general impression has arisen
that the Chairman" although
he does not have a vote. never
theleSs is some kind of a superior
military chief who tells the other
members of the Joint Chiefs of
Staff what to do.
Actually, the purpose of Con-
gress was to supply the Joint
Chiefs of Staff with a co-ordi-
nator, and it would have been
better if the title had been made
Secretary General of the Joint
Chiefs of Staff"
If Congress should amend the
law in that respect. it would
clear up many doubts as to the

While the name of Gen.
Eisenhower on any kind Of
project-particularly when it is
a military-econo combina-
tion-is likely to instill con-
fidence among the American

the existence of this hush

intend to be stampeded into
approving vast amounts Of
money for what may be an

Members of the American So
Iciety Of Oral Surgeons today were
told dental schools have failed to
provide adequate programs for the
teaching of administration of gen.
eral anesthesia
DR.. F. w. Clement, of Toledo
Ohio, told the 500 members at
tending the four-day session al
the Wardman Park Hotel. that
there is a very definite need and
place for the administration o1
general anestheSia in the dental
office. as a service to the public"
Great advances have been
made in all phases of dentistry ex-
cept that Of general anesthesia,
which has remained static OF
fallen backward" he said.
He pointed out that opportuni-
ties are few for dentists who wish
to be proficient in general as we'll
as local anesthesia, because few
dental schools provide the post
graduate training necessary.
Lags Behind Medical Art.
Another criticism of dental
teaching progress was made yes
terday, when DR.. James r. Cam
Aeron, professor of oral surgery at
Temple University, said the pro-
fession has Jagged behind the
medical art in the formal oral sur

he said. to give persons a better
bite" and improve their appear
Iance.
In another session, the oral sur
geons were told of an intricate
operation which brings sudden
and dramatic" relief to patients
suffering from severe degenera-
tive joint disease in the joint
Iof the jawbone, where the jaw
bone meets the skull.
Although the operation was first
developed about 20 years ago, its
use has not been widespread be-
cause relatively few oral surgeons
knew the procedure.
DR.. Don H. Bellinger, chief of
the division of oral surgery at the
Henry Ford Hospital, Detroit, and
DR.. Reed Dingman, professor of
oral surgery at the University of
Michigan, said the relief from
pain was achieved by removal of
the meniscus-a fiberous cartilege
in the joint between the jawbone
and the skull.
Form Of Arthritis.
When degenerative joint disease
"a form of arthritis - strikes
there. the meniscus becomes dis
eased and the patient suffers pain
throughout the face.
The meniscus. an oblong. carti-
lege about the size and thickness
of a nickel. is removed in an ope-
ration made difficult because the
surgeon must be careful not to cut
facial nerves between the joint
and the skin. The incision is made
at a point just in front of the ear,
where the two bones meet.
