Chemist Finds Flaw
lin FIuorine Treatment
For Children S Teeth
BY the Assoeiated Press

NEW YORK, Sept. 13.-Discov-
cry Of a flaw in the fluorine treat
|ment for children's teeth was re-
ported to the 18th International
Congress Of Pure and Applied
Chemistry yesterday.
Fluorine is added to drinking
water in many American cities.
to give children better teeth. Den
lists all over the country treat
Ichildren's teeth with fluorine.
The flaw is not the fluorine it
self, but another mineral, the
metal magnesium, which you get
in food and drink. Too much
magnesium blocks the good work
Of f1uorine.
This means that how much good
the fluorine treatments do may
depend on where you live and
what you eat and drink.
There is magnesium in the soil
Everywhere. Plants contain lit
tie. and animals get little from
eating the plants. Human plant
food contains some. The amount
of magnesium you take in depends
on how much there is in the soil
where your food comes from.
Magnesium is normal part of
1your tissues and blood, but In
very small amounts.
A possible remedy for the mag
nesium was suggested by DR.. Al
bert E. Sobel of Brooklyn, who
made this report. He said little
added phosphorus, in diet, prob
ably would block of the mag
neSium.
He is head of the biochemistry
department of the Jewish Hos
Ipital, Brooklyn. He discovered the
magnesium effect when looking for
diets to make good teeth.

airlines company is a government
monopoly.
The high commission spokes-
man confirmed that the Czecho-
slovak government has been noti-
fed of the ban, but said no ofhcial
announcement is being made.
Last December, the United
States High Commission restricted
Czech airline flights across the
American zone of Germany by
requiring that they be confined
to one route-directly west across
the country, passing over Frank
furt.
This action was taken after
numerous violations of fight reg
ulationS by CzechoSlovak planes
carrying delegates to a peace
conference" in Warsaw.
However, there have been no
recent charges of any further vio-
lation by Czechoslovak craft which
could account for the ban an
nounced today.
Long DetourS Necessary.
American officials said the air.
lines have been flying three flights
weekly across West Germany to
Paris, two round trips weekly to
Brussels, and two round trips
weekly to Amsterdam.
To reach these cities from
Prague without crossing West
Germany would require long
detours across Communist East
Germany to the North Sea or
across Austria to Switzerland.
There was no information here
whether the CzechoslovakS have
abandoned the flights to Paris.
Brussels and Amsterdam as al
result of the West German ban.
Another possible United States
trade step affecting CZechoslo-
Vakia would be withdrawal of
tariff concessions now granted the
Czechoslovak government on its
$50, ,000, 900 annual sales in the
United States. The United States
will ask countries in the General
Agreement on Tariffs and Trade
at Geneva next Monday to au-I
thorize such a move.

Harold k. Stassen
 Asks To Subpoena Vandenberg Diary

WASHINGTON, (P)-Harold E. Stassen asked Senate investigators Saturday to subpoena the diary of the late Senator Vandenberg R-Mich to corroborate "the es- sential facts" of his earlier testi- mony about 1949 White House conference on China aid.
 Stassen testified he had been told by Arthur Vandenberg, Jr, the late senator's son, that "the essential facts I testified to could be corroborated" from the diary and other documents kept by the senior Vandenberg.
 In testimony before the Senate Internal Security Subcommittee last Monday, Stassen quoted Van denberg as telling him in Novem- Der, 1850, that Secretary of State Acheson and Ambassador -at-Large Philip C. JeSSup had proposed at the White House meeting that fur ther military aid to the Chinese Nationalist forces be cut off.
 Today, however, Stassen did not list the names of the authors of the proposal as one of the essen tial facts. Today's testimony, like Stassen's earlier appearance, came in the subcommittee's inquiry into any subversive influences on US. policies in the Far East.
 The State Department has agreed that such a conference was held on Feb. 5, 1949, that it was called to consider such proposal from the US. military representa- tive in China and that President Truman turned it down after Con- gressional leaders objected.
 Tn it's statement on Stassen's earlier testimony, the State De- partment said that Jessup was not present at the conference. It did not say what position Acheson took on the matter.

NEW DELHI-One of India's most popular figures today is a man supposedly dead for more than six years.
 He is Subhash Chandra Bose, the revolutionary who fought Brit ish rule of India for many years and then led JapaneSe-sponsored Indian National Army against this country during World War II.
 Bose reportedly died Aug. Is, 1945-one day after Japan's sur render-in the crash of Japanese plane against the Taihoku Hills of Form0sa.
 Yet to millions of Indians he is as much alive today as is Prime Minister Pandit Nehru and Presi- dent Rajendra Prasad.
 This is especially true in the villages of Bengal where Subhash DOSC was 4CNC4Cu most as a saint. There, mention of his name brings cries of "Netaji"- Our Leader"
 There is no doubt" said one prominent Indian leader, "that if Bose should reappear today he would challenge Pandit Nehru as a National leader"
 Traitor to the Allies
 To a foreigner the popularity of the supposedly dead Bose is hard to understand. He led the only army to invade India in modern times, built by the Japanese from British Indian forces captured in the fall of Singapore and else where in East Asia.
