Letters to The Star .

with the prospect Of developing new
automobile business. This has proved
to be one of the most improbable lines
Of insurance. For this reason, we have
recently established an assigned risk
plan, through which many of the pres
emily uninsured motorists would have
to apply for insurance Under this plan,
companies writing insurance in the Dis
trict will be forced to accept their share
of assigned automobile risks.
For purely selfish reasons, the per-
sons who should be clamoring for the
passage of the Beall bill are the re-
Sponsible, careful drivers who want pro-
lection and indemnity in case of acci-
dent.
Similar bills have been passed in So
State Legislatures. including our neigh
boring States of Virginia and Maryland.
Therefore, it seems certain that the
next session of Congress will be willing
to give us the same safeguards as they
have already given their constituents.

Auto Sufety Responsibility

On behalf of the District of Columbia
Association of Insurance Agents, I
want to congratulate The Star for its
August 18 article by William A. Millen
on Automobile Safety Responsibility.
The bill pending in Congress to give
the District a security type financial
responsibility law has been very much
misunderstood by many Congressman
and laymen alike. One Senator in
ferred that the bill was drawn for the
interest Of lawyers and insurance COM
panies. Another stated the limits of
$10,O00-$20 10000 for body-injury liabil-
ity would simply mean the insurance
companies are sure to get more busi-
ness"
Senator Beall, who introduced the
bill, was described by one columnist as
trying to squeeze it through Congress
in the closing rush. But here Is the
kicker: Senator Beall'S family happens
to own an insurance agency in nearby
Maryland"
Instead, the bill should be fairly de-
scribed as a means of protecting the
public in the case of an automobile
accident, caused by person unable to
pay 1Or CIle OdIudScS OI Injury. JuSC
as we demand that person not oper-
ate an unsafe automobile, the bill states
that an automobile should not be driven
by financially irresponsible person.
The bill gives immediate action to pro-
tect accident victims.
We insurance agents have indorsed
the bill because our profession is the
one closest to this problem. We con-
stantly receive complaints from our in
sured clients who have suffered loss
through accidents caused by persons
unable to pay the damages. Their
question is. why should any one be
permitted to drive car if he cannot
reimburse the public for his own liza
bility?"
The insurance industry is not pleased

industry, 1t appears certain that the hope rests
mostly with General Zahedi and his military
associates. The Shah can contribute greatly to
that end by lending his personal popularity
and the influence of his royal position to the
new regime There need be no sacrifice of Trans
national pride in agreeing to reasonable
formula for settling the oil controversy, and
it would be tragic shortsightedness for Britain,
or the United States as a friend of the court"
to attempt to drive hard bargain. An oppor
tunity exists today for all who are concerned
to put Iran back on the path to good health
and to serve the interests of the free world
in so doing.

ter Works Association October II, 1850:
''The discovery of the role of optimum
amounts of f1uorideS in water has led
to the concept that the treatment of
drinking water might include the addi-
tion of specific substances to prevent
disease" There you have it, openly
admitted. This is only the beginning.
The same motive which inspired the
addition of f1uorine to the drinking
water of whole populations will lead to
the addition of other supposedly me-
dicinal substances, as claimed pre-
ventive or cure for other human defects,
until we will no longer have water to
drink at all, but a chemical solution
concocted and approved by the Public
Health Service, which has assumed an
overlordship which is not only illegal
but positively dangerous. Bear in mind
that water Is not something that we
can just take or leave; it is essential
to life.
The promoters Of this program Of
fuoridation can offer no proof whatso-
ever that it will not harm the human
body, and in ways not discernible until
it is too late. There is actually nothing
known as to the ultimate cumulative
toxicity of fluorine ingested even in
minute attenuation over long period
of time, or lifetime. They are there
fore deliberately experimenting with
human welfare.
This vicious stuff is eating out the
equipment in many places. necesSitating
constant renewal of metal parts. If it
eats out metal, what will it do to deli
cate human tissues?
The true facts about the reception
fuoridation has received among the
medical and dental authorities are not
being given to the public. Many of the
deans of the dental schools of the uni
versities have called fluoride a rat
poison which should not be used, but
the public is never told of this.

'FIuoridution Up Aquin'

Thank you for your helpful editorial
"Fluoridation Up Again" The fact is
it has never been down." There is
little conception of the ferment which
this forcible mass medication has
caused all over the country. There is
increasingly evident an instructive re-
bellion against what Americans know
is an arbitrary and unjustified assump-
ton of authority over their funda-
mental human right to govern their
own bodies.
There is more back of this pressure
propaganda in favor of huoridation
than can be specifically observed. To

sanitary engineer of the United States
Public Health Service, made before the

as they arise in the State, and it has
put its facilities at the disposal of local
health councils whenever they have re-
queSted them.
By far the greater part Of the coun-
cil's service, however, is concentrated
on the doctor-small town relationship.
Although the councils first years were
not senSationally SucceSsful-it worked
with 1873 doctors and 81 communities
and succeeded in finding locations for
only 13 doctors-its reputation and ef-
fectivenesS have increased sharply in
the past year. Interns from out of
State frequently apply-Chincoteaq
Island, for instance, now has Texan,
DR.. George H. Cooke, who came to it
through the councils auspices from
the University of Kansas Medical
School via an internShip at Fordham
Hospital in New York City.
And the council makes a regular prac-
tice of checking back to find out
whether the communities and the doc
tors are satisfied, and to help where it
can in ironing out any misunderstand-
ingS which may develop.
The councils work has been so sue
cessful, in fact, that the American
Medical Associations Council on Rural
Health gave it high praise in 1852. The
program, the ANA said, was lone of
the best, if not the best in the
Nation"

Tito Threatens Use Force
Unless Italy Withdraws
Troops From Near Trieste

BELGRADE, Yqgoslavia, Up -
Yugoslavia threatened officially
today to send troops to the Italian
frontier unless Italy ends her
maneuvers, termed a military
demonstration" in that area.
The warning was contained in
a note-the fourth in three days
sent by President Marshal Tito's
government to Italy's foreign min
istery in Rome as a result Of new
tension in the seven year old
feud between the two nations
over the future Of the free terri
tory Of Trieste.
IF the Yugoslav government
establishes that the Italian gov
eminent continues to adhere to
the abnormal situation on the Dor
der" the note said, "It will be
forced to undertake correspond
irg measures on its territory"
In plain terms, this means
Yugoslavia plans to march in
troops to back up her frontier
guards in the Gorilla region,
north of Trieste, unless Italy with
draws the forces on the opposite
side of the frontier there.
On Rome, a foreign ministry
spokesman said "There has been
no military demonstration on the
Yugoslav border" Italy contends
the maneuvers are strictly rout-
ine.)
In both government and diplo-
matte circles Of Belgrade, the
theory was advanced that the new
government of Premier Pella has
seized upon the Trieste issue to
sidetrack Italian disputes over
domestic affairs.

City Lays Plans for Special
Election to Provide For
Issuance Of School Bonds

The new addition to the Nome
Public School becomes a step
closer to reality as the plans are
laid out for the special election
to bond the city for the loan from
the Alaska Public Works Admin
istration.
The present school building,
originally planned for around $50
children, is without question in
adequate for the enrolment of
more than 400 students, handica D.
ping them not only in their edu-
cation but endangering their
health in the overcroWded rooms.
The plans for the new addition,
to be built east of the present
building, give the needed eight
classrOOms as well as a utility
and assembly room which will
make it possible to include more
music, domestic science and other
subjects that the children are en-
titled to, omitted now due to the
crowded conditions.
The plans for the completed
building, will be on display at
Polet's Store for a few days.
A special meeting is called for
Tuesday evening at 8 at the City
Hall for the special election in
which the taxpayers must approve
the proposed bond issue before the
Public Works loan can be made.

Jump 1870 After
Korean Truce

WASHINGTON, R-Army en-
listments in the month since the
Korean truce was signed have
jumped rs percent above the av-
erage Of the Y months prior to

An Army official who disclosed
the enlistment figures said it was
too early to tell whether the in
crease will continue. He said he
couldn't comment on the reasons
for the increase.
The figures showed that 11,6OO
men enlisted between July 81
the date of the Korean truce-and
Aug. 27. During the previous IL
months, the average enlistment
was about $500.

Showers Cool Off
Sun-Baked Midwest
(BY THE ASSOCIATED PREss)

A broad band of cool air and
chilling showers moved slowly
south and east from the sun-baked
Midwest Friday, pushing from its
path stubborn 11-day heat wave.
Hot and humid weather, how
ever, continued in wide areas in
the eastern sections of the coun-
try. But there was hope of an
early. break, probably by Satur-
day.
AS the break in the heat wave
came to the mid-continent, the
toll of dead from causes attrib-
uted to the hot weather mounted
to at least 1874 The soaring heat
also has caused millions Of dol

9-Year Project OF
Mapping Of Arctic
Coast is Completed

SEATTLE, R-Coas4 and Geo
detic Survey crews have com
pleted the ambitious 9-year prof.
ect Of surveying the Arctic coast
Of Alaska.
Besides giving the first accurate
chart of Arctic Ocean waters off
the coast, Capt. Charles Pierce,
supervisor of the Coast and Geo.
detic Surveys northwest district,
district, said at Seattle Thursday
the operation will correct maps
Of the c0astline as much as a
mile.
Since 1945 Geodetic Survey
crews have spent hundreds of
thousands of man-hours in their
land and photographic survey of
the Arctic coast.
Men worked out Of temporary
camps Of insulated canvas huts,
sticking on the job seven months
a year until bitter weather drove
them back to the States.
Their work may be of military
value, Moore said, as well as aid
ing civilian shipping. The survey
may lead to eventual charting Of
much Of the Arctic Ocean, which
now must be navigated in many
places with only sketchy maps.

Gen. Dean Returned By Communists

FREEDOM VILLAGE, R-Maj.
Gen. William F. Dean, white
haired and thin after more than
three years in Communist prisons,
rode RuSsian-built jeep back to
freedom Friday. He received a
heart : warming welcome by the
first Americans he had seen since
his capture.
Dean, who won the Medal of
Honor fighting beside his men in
the streets Of Taejon, had aged 10
years in appearance. He came
back wearing dust covered blue
cotton suit, brown sneakers, yell
low shirt, a red tie and wry
grin.
He said he had not seen an
other American since July 81,
1850.
At this processing center the
tanned old soldier told of his
capture in the midst of the swirl
ing confusion of the wars dark
early days. of sleepless days
sc hours once-of question
ing during which he wore out
relays Of Red Interpreters Of
the terrible isolation Of more than
three years.
Much Of the time, he said, the
Communists gave him nothing to
read and no pencils or paper. He
spent his lonely days working
mathematical problems in his
head.
Dean did not lose his dry wit
it cracked frequently as he
talked with newsmen.
He arrived in the last ambu-
lance to come from Panmunjom
and after routine processing was
flown to the evacuation hospital
at Seoul. The Air Force said Dean
probably would be flown to Tokyo
Saturday.
The 54-year-old general, a vet
eran Of almost 80 years in the
Army, said he wandered a month
through Korea trying to reach
American lines. For 20 days he
went without food. Then came
his capture, long marches and
hours of questioning.
The Communists used several
teams of interrigatorS but only
two interpreters, he said.
''The first time they questioned
me 68 hours" Dean said. ''I think
the interpreters just wore out"
"The next time is was only Al
hours. The third go was 80 hours"
81 was very thin at the time.
1t hurt me to sit down. I sat on
my hands until they puffed up.
They were going to punish me
as war criminal for my activ-
tiles as military governor Of South
Korea"
Dean said he met several Com
munists whom he had seen earlier
in various positions in South
Korea.
