have seizures and the incidence OF
this disorder is about the same as
tuberculosis or diabetes throughout
the country.
The word epilepsy comes from
the Greek word meaning seizures
md the attacks which people have
can either be called epileptic attacks
or seizures. These attacks are due
to an increased irritability of GER
tain parts of the brain, and the sell
zure Is actually minor and purely
temporary disability which is a SYM
ptom of this irritation. Between
attacks, the brain Is functioning
normally.
An Epilepsy Program is at present
under way at the University OF
Washington School of Medicine to
study this disorder and uncover
some of the causes as well as to ap-
ply new research techniques to the
diagnosis and treatment Of this di-
sease.
This program is jointly sponsor
ed by the Washington Society for
Crippled Children and Adults (the
Easter Seal Society and the univer-
sity.
A part of the diagnostic research
program will be to develop new e.
lectronic techniques to study the
minute electrical currents produced
by the microscopical brain cells.
Since these currents are very small
(millionths OF VOLT and also very
complex, the apparatus must be of
a similar degree of complexity.
Such equipment must be tediously
developed in the laboratory. The
final application to patients will not
be possible In any major way until
the proposed University hospital is
completed.
1t is hoped that this research pro-
gram will ultimately shed addition
al light on why these seizures occur.
It will also point out the way to adj
vances in treatment which will make
it possible to control more than the
300 of seizures which can be pre-
vented by present types of treatment

To return to our original theme
after wandering aimlessly into other
channels of thought, below are our
answers to UW's queries. p
Well be practical and realistic
though in jotting down our replies,
and we won't try to be too idealistic
as idealism simply cannot be applied
in every day life-man is such a
weakling
Question 1-"Would you not
like to have any of these groups
go to the same public schools as
teen-age boys and girls Of your
own group?"
An easy answer. 1t is in the pub
lie schools that the youngsters first
learn to understand those who are
different.
Question 2+"Are there any
on the list thhat, In general, you
would not like working beside as
equals on job?"
If anyone is qualified, there is no
reason why he should be denied the
right to work
Question 3-"Are there any
on the list that you would not like
to have live in your neighbour
hood?"
Forgetting mans race. creed or
religion, it depends on the type of
people.
Question 4-"Would you dis
like to have any of these groups
as next door neighbors?"
1t is, as in Question 8, matter of
individual taste. Americans, being
individuals, have the inalienable
right to like or dislike anyone as he
chooses. No one can dictate to us
Americans as to whom we should
have as next door neighbors. After
all, we are people with a mind of our
own-not pawns which are pushed
round on a chess board.
Question 5-"Would you dis
like to see any Of these groups
have dates with teen ayers of your
own group?'
Frankly speaking, we wouldn't
care to see our group having dates
with teen ayers of the Negro group
because we, like several sociology
professors with whom we conferred
4 length. sincerely feel that it is
detrimental to healthy environ
ment
Question 6-"Are there any
that you would not be willing to
marry?"
Yes, we again refer you to the
chats which we had with the profs.
We oppose marriage with a men,
Der of the Negro race because of its
extremely slim chance of success
full affair due to difference in back
ground, culture and mores. The
best intermarriage, If it can be call
I'd as such, is between the Japanese
md the Chinese. AS for intermar-
'iage between the Whites and the
Japanese, 1t would be nice providingl
hat both are equipped. socially and
economically and educationally, to
ace the realities and obstacles INTEL
igently.

TIME SAVER FOR COOKIES

TIME SAVER FOR COOKIES
Even though nearly every home
maker enjoys making cookies she
still would welcome a way to save
half the mixing time. The next
tims you bake cookies mix a double
or triple quantity of fat and sugar
eggs too, If you wish. Then place
the mixture in clean cottage cheese
cartons and put it in your refrigera-
tor, freezer or locker for use in the
near future.
1t is surprising how many cooky
recipes call for the same proper
tons of l cup fat, cup white sugar
l cup brown sugar and eggs. Your
electric mixer can combine three
times this amount, If you use soft
fat, just as easily as it can a small
er quantity. And you have only one
beaten and bowl to clean!
Be sure to label your mixture.
When you remove 1t from refrigera-
ton allow 1t to come to room tenn
perature and then proceed with the
recipe which you wish to use that
day. Keep in mind that fats don't
refrigerate well over long period
of time, so use the mixture within a
few weeks.
This plan for extra mixtures not
only will save time for your family
baking, but is especially useful when
baking large quantities of cookies
at holiday times for special church
functions, teas and cooky sales.
Another time saver is to bake
cookies in quantity and place them
in the locker or freezer in cello
plane bags with cardboard protec-
tors.

give OUT With our answers.
About a year and two months ago,
Gordon Hirabayashi, University of
Washington sociology faculty men,
Der who has resumed his column
in our paper, reported his findings
on the white peoples attitude to-
ward us on matters Of social and e.
economic significance. In that sur
vey, 1t was clearly indicated that
the white people Cat least the ones
interviewedD didn't give a damn for
us.
Well, 1t is understandable that
they don't give a damn for us"
because most of us don't count in
their scheme of things and because
they don't have to depend on us
much for anything.
If we were member of the white
race, we might carry the same air
of superiority. Sure. we might
sympathize with the plight of mi
nority group, and, sure,we might to-
lerate minorities. But. perhaps, like
those interviewed. we might feel the
same way of having nothing to do
with the minorities. Who knows?
We might take a more arrogant

such which forever plague us.
Their attitude eve stress "at least

they were made of better stuff. Their
being in the mojority no doubt has
much to do with their way of think
ing. Their answers in regard to in
ter-racial education. livelihood and
marriage fatty declared they were
very much against mingling with
those of the minority groups.
The answers given by the whites"
don't surprise us bit. What kind

the Nisei's social attitude towards

To us, surveys don't mean any
thing at all. Remember the now
defunct Liberty Digest? And. more
recently, who can forget the Gallup
poll which had Thomas E. Dewey
practically sitting in the White
House? What a farrell
We should like to ask our learn
ed sociologists: How can any survey
determine whether the person in
terviewed is not just stating things
to show off his 'broadminde dness"?
Or how can any survey look into the
true motives behind an interviewed
persons replies? Or how can any
survey know whether the person in
terviewed is intelligent enough to
answer questions leading to global
Importance which even the UNES-
co hasn't solved as yet?
Perhaps, somewhere in his short
life, the interviewed person has met
misfortune or encountered an I'M
pleasant disagreement with a mem
Der of a minority group. How can
anyone (or any survey tell whether
he is using that incident to prove"
his point and to assert his dislike
for members of that minority? Per-
haps, he has lost brother or son
in war and hasn't forgotten. Who
can? Wars are not personal mat
tiers. but they sink deep into the
lives of those affected, and more
often, affect their thinking. For
the mind is not a static material.
The majority of the people form
their opinions on various subjects
from what they read in the news
papers, books. mag azines and per-
iodicals, from what they hear from
so-called authorities, educated"
friends or radio commentators, or
from what they see in the make-be-
lieve movies originating in Holly
wood, Calf
These three mediums-to many,
the Gods truths-are chiefly res
ponsible for our forming views on
different topics. And since they are
in such a responsible position, they,
if any group, should be oriented on
human relations first.
They-the radio, the press and
he movies-know that man is weak.
That man, because he is weak, usu-
ally succumbs to his emotions and
feelings which in the final analysis
dictate his reasonings and actions.
If man thought clearly, there would
be no conflicts and misunderstand-
ings. So the press, the radio and
the movies have gone berserk to give
what they think the public wants.
We don't claim to know more than
the wv sociologists-as we don't
believe we're smart enough to att in
such height-but we feel that their
approach towards inter-racial pro-
blems should not start from the idle
typewriters in the ivory towers of
the campus behind mahogany desks
Cor whatever kind of ultra-modern
equipment they may have) but from
the homes of the minorities on
common ground. Or better still.
we feel that they should educate the
press, the radio and the motion pic

matters close to home.
The churches and the schools are
earnestly doing their share today.

The Senate will begin votine
Monday on the issues involved.

would call on the President to give

Senator Wherry, the Republi-

Declaring that Russia has the
air power to destroy Western
Europe. Senator Wherry said:
1T is obvious that the outcome

Europe has plenty of man.

Senator Wherry said there are
two issues involved.
Paramount Issue.
The paramount issue is Nheth-

President usurp its power and
Establish a military dictatorship,
he said. THE second major issue

Senator Wherry dismissed as

Secretary of Defense Marshall
that world conditions are worse,
from a military standpoint, than
they were last fall when United
Nations troops were retreating in
Korea.
Senator Taft. Republican of
Ohio. told the Senate yesterday
that Mr.. Truman had exceeded
