This little boy will have a

But he won't know it.
His name is Melvin. Three
years ago he went to the hospi-
tai with tuberculosis. Last May.
he came home again, the tuber-

But something else was
wrong.
He couldn't hear his fathers
greeting. And he couldn't talk
to him.
He couldn't even speak his
own name.
He won't know Tuesdays his
birthday because he is deaf.
The cause. according to the
doctors, was the drug used
against the TB-streptomycin.
But it saved his life.
What is deafness like when
you're about to become four

Retailers Busy Today
Restocking Shelves,

Washington merchants, particu-

restocking shelves after a Christ
maslike buying rush yesterday to
beat the new and higher taxes.
With their purses bulging with
retroactive pay increase payments,
Government workers released from
their jobs early to welcome Prin-

business district in a rush.
Many Government girls had
been shopping for weeks in antici-
patton of their pay increase and
yesterday they f1ocked to "will

payments and walk off with their
purchases.
Rush for Cigarettes.
Liquor store dealers said they
could not remember such a buying
rush at this time of year. Gus
toners were buying in case lots
and shelves were emptied faster
than they could be restocked with
,storehouse supplies.
There was a rush on cigarettes,
too, with well-heeled Government
employees buying a dozen cartons
at a time. The Federal tax on
cigarettes jumped from 7 to 8 cents
a pack today and the increase is
reflected in retail prices.

Liquor dealers today were re-
pricing their stock with a wary
eye on the increases being passed
on to consumers by competitors.
The Office of Price Sterilization
has issued orders permitting retail
boosts on all tax-affected items.
General Advance Due.
Although the actual tax in
crease is only 26 to 80 cents a
fifth, retailers can jump their
prices 40 to SO cents. This is
because price markups are per-
mitted all along the distributive
line before the bottle reaches the
consumer. Retailers must decide
whether they will take advantage
of the full permissible mark

Taxes on automobiles went up
today from 7 to 10 per cent of the
manufacturers price. Prices on
new cars will jump an estimated
$50 to $135. New-car accessories
also will cost more under a 8

Public DRINKING
7 Nearby Virginia
Establishments Given
Hearings on Churqes

A breakdown on dance halls and
restaurants that permit customers
to bring their own liquor is being
pushed in Virginia, in line with
the State ABC Boards newly an
nounced policy on public drinking
Revocation hearings were held
IN Alexandria yesterday for seven
establishments, including four
charged with permitting patrons
to drink liquor. The cases were
taken under adviSement.
w. w. Duncan, ABC inspector
for Alexandria, Arlington and
Fairfax, said at least dozen more
establishments in nearby Virginia
are believed to permit and en-
courage the bring g-your-own-liquor
policy.
He warned that all can expect
visits from his Office until the
State policy of no public whisky
drinking is strictly adhered to.
Mr.. Duncan pointed out that es-
Establishments face loss of wine and
beer licenses if they are caught
permitting patrons to drink
whisky.
Setups Available.
Until the recent State ABC
breakdown, it has been common
practice in Virginia for patrons to
bring their own liquor and buy
setups at dance halls or restau-
rants. Virginia law permits the
sale of whisky only at State ABC
stores.
The new policy does not apply
to club-type licenses. The ABC
Act provides that members of an
organization holding a club-type
license issued by the board may
keep and drink whisky on the club
premises.
The seven revocation cases
brought up in Alexandria yester-
day by Mr.. Duncan were heard
before Howard Siple, ABC Board
hearing officer. He will make rec
concentrations to the State ABC
Board. which will announce its
decision in Richmond later.
Places and Charges.
The seven establishments up for
license revocation, and the charges
against each are:
Diamond Cafe. 236 and 238
North Henry street, Alexandria,

ton of whisky. permitting intoX-
icated persons to loiter and con-

The governments of the
United States and Europe need
to be more aware than they
apparently are that the present
foreign policy has very little
popular support, and that with
out popular support no defense
effort on the scale envisioned
can be successfully maintained.
This hiatus between Govern
ment policy and the instinct of
the people is at present more
dangerous to democracy than
communism.
Every Gallup poll thus far
shows that an overwhelming
majority of the American people
believe that the Korean war was
a mistake, that the U. N. forces
never should have crossed the
38th Parallel, and that we
should try for a truce at tina!

with China, believing such war
would only serve Russia's inter-

should try harder than he have
done to reach an agreement
with China.

science of engineering consent"

science is by no means confined
to totalitarian states is not
functioning, according to plan,
in either the United States or
Western Europe. Communism
