Radio-N Coyeraue
Is Barrier 10 Truth,
Judge Medina Says
BY the As.oeiassd prsss

NEW YORK, Sept. 3.-Federal
Judge Harold r. Medina says
the presence Of radio and tele-
vision at public hearings creates
q psychological barrier to the
ascertainment Of truth"
Judge Medina, who presided
over the conspiracy trial Of the
II. convicted top Communist
leaders, spoke last night over
radio and TV facilities Of the
Columbia Broadcasting System.
His speech was a rebuttal to
CHS President Frank Stanton's
plea last week that radio and
TV be allowed to cover the cur
rent Senate hearings involving
Senator Mccarthy, Republican.
Of Wisconsin.
Said Judge Medina:
1.-THE real question is whether
television and radio interfere
with the ascertainment of true
facts.
when the judge. the wit
nesses and the lawyers. or their
counterparts, perform their
functions before the micro
phones and batteries Of flood
lights, knowing that perhaps 10
millions Of people or more are
listening and watching their
every move. the temptation to
put on an act becomes irresist-
ible. And that is what they
do. !"
''It is just and right" he said,
"that the people should see the
wheels Of justice in motion and
that the press should have free
access to every court from the
lowest to the highest. But the
comings and the goings Of the
press are orderly and easily con-
| troled."
The press. Judge Medina said.
| represents no such psyche
logical barrier to the ascertain
ment Of truth as do the radio
and televiSiOn."

Massachusetts Lifts
Ban on Sunday Sales
In Storm Food Crisis
BY tho Associated Pres.

BOSTON, Sept. 3.-Gov. Herter
has waived the Massachusetts,
blue laws with an executive
order which permits retail stores
to remain open Sunday and
Labor Day to meet the growing
food crisis resulting from the
hurricane which battered New
England Tuesday.
In an unprecedented executive
order last night, Gov. Herter
authorized "all purveyors Of
perishable foodstuffs" to remain
open on Sunday and the Monday
holiday.
The action came as hundreds
of repairmen and cleanup crews
worked feverishly to restore cleo
tricity to the estimated 2 million
persons still without power today.
Dry Ice Saves Food.
Tons Of foodstuffs spoiled In
refrigerators that have been
powerleSs since the hurricane
struck. but State officials said
loads Of dry ice flown in from
other States is helping to keep
diaries, packing houses and stor-
age plants lin excellent shape"
The unprecedented Sunday
sales of foodstuffs in Massachu-
sets was put into effect by the
Governor for people who must
buy their food from day to day
because Of lack of home refrig-
Grafton.
Meanwhile, fear mounted to-
day that the hurricane death toll
might reach 66. The Coast
Guard reported there has been
no sign of New Bedford fishing
boat with II men aboard.
The scalloper Red Start was
last reported Tuesday battling
65-foot waves in Nantucket wa
tiers. Later the Coast Guard re-
ported it had sighted wreckage
near the scene.
At / pm. (EDT Tuesday-at
the height of the hurricane-the
Red Start reported by radio to
Capt. Edward Love Of the seal
loper Mary d'Eon. also Of New
Bedford, that she was in trouble
with seas washing over her decks.
One Craft Reaches Haven.
Capt. Love said his own craft
was in danger of crumbling and
could not reach the Red Start.
The Mary d'Eon finally made
port, but there was no further
word from the Red Start.
On land the search continued
for more than a score of persons
still listed as missing.
Many of the missing are chill
dren - including 10-month-old
Sharon Crosby, who was swept
from the arms Of her mother,
Mrs. Robert Crosby, as she tried
to escape from a collapsing cot
tage in WeStport, Mass.
The Federal Government has
classified both Massachusetts,
and Rhode Island as major
disaster" areas.
President Eisenhower, in max
ing the two States eligible for
disaster relief, said he was hold
ing up a decision on how money
will be a1Iocated. -

The role Of vitamifi c is be-
coming increasingly more inn
portant as research uncovers its
part in nutrition and health.
At a recent meeting in Florida
DR.. Carl T. Javert of Cornell
University Medical College re-
ported some interesting facts
concerning a study Of two thou
sand women who had lost one
or more babies. DR.. Javert said,
IA tendency to bleed too easily,
common among the nearly two
thousand women, provided the
clew to the vitamin c lack. A
distinct correlation between vi
tamin c deficiency and hemor-
rhage was found.
If you are expecting a baby
be sure that you get a larger
than usual quota Of this vitamin.
The best source is your citrus
fruits and citrus fruit juices. It
seems now In light of recent
studies that the daily require
ment Of vitamin c in pregnancy

Modern Marriage
By Dr.. Paul Popenoe

We all know that grandma
can be q blessing or a nuisance
around the house, but am sure
that many wrong opinions are
formed about her by younger
people who never give her a
chance to show what she can
do. But, more often than not,
when troubles come to the home,
It's grandma who steps in and
lends a helping hand. Mrs. B.
has gained an altogether new
view Of the grandma in her
family:
For the first 10 years or so of
our marriage. and especially
after our children began to ar
rive, I treated grandma shabbily.
I was always pushing her out,
making her feel that she was a
back number, and that did not
want any interference. Then I
had an auto accident which laid
me up for months. Grandma
moved in and took over. She
handled the children much
better than I had ever done. She
always maintained my owns posi-
ton, tactfully and lovingly. I'm
a reformed woman, DR.. Popenoe,
and 7 wish I could tell a lot Of
other younger mothers that
grandma is not their enemy. You
tell them for me, won't you?"
Glad to try, Mrs. B., and per-
haps a simple way would be to
give them q self-rating scale by
which they can help to answer
the question. "Am I giving
grandma a square deal?"
I. I treat grandma just as
courteously and considerably as
I would q stranger. 0 IL

she, herself. raised at least one

has been accepted in the past.
Even in women who have nor
NAL pregnancies it has been dis
covered that the vitamin C con-
centratlon In blood plasma falls
off 20 per cent of its usual level
by the time the baby arrives un-
less vitamin c therapy is
adopted.
If you bruise too easily this
may be due to deficiency In this
vitamin. The correlation between
fragility of the capillaries and
this lack has long been recog-
niZed.
Lack of vitamin C is not only
one Of the causes of fatigue but
is definitely connected with the
health >.of the blood vessels.
Bleeding gums may sometimes
be due to this deficiency. Also,
the need for a high vitamin c
intake in older people has been
demonstrated.
So look to your citrus fruits
and citrus fruit juices. This is

is so easy to fulfill and yet is

think you are extremely
lucky to be going to such a
wonderful post. I have been
in Salzburg twice on visits
and it's very picturesque and
interesting, although rather a
small town. However, 1t is
quite near the resort areas of
Berchtesgaden and Garmisch.
where the Army has all sorts Of
facilities and the scenery and
climate are marvellous. The
summers are similar to those
in Minnesota or Wisconsin.
cool at night and warm dur
ing the day. They have SWIM
ming, tennis and mountain
climbin. In the winter they
do lots Of skiing and there is
skating, too. I would say you
should take summer and win
ter clothing both, although you
can purchase a lot Of things
there. The large Army PXs
have all sorts of cosmetics and
clothing. / did not see the PIX
in Salzburg, but have been in
those in Frankfurt, Garmisch
and Vienna. and you will no
doubt be making visits to all
those places. Distance, as we
know it in the United States.
just doesn't exist over there in
Europe. You'll be surprised
how close together all those
places are.
Salzburg is an ideal location
as far as travelling is concerned,
since it is rather centrally 10
cater and the Army provides
low-cost tours with all kinds
Of special arrangements. The
food in Salzburg is wonderful.
I had delicious Austrian food
and there's a Yugoslavian res
taurant there called the Green
Cross which has marvellous
food, too. You will be able to
go anywhere and get along
fine speaking only English.
Paris is perhaps the most diff
ficult place and the most dis
appointing, but anywhere you
go you can always find some
one who speaks English. II
you have a radio, camera,
hotplate and a few dishes,
you'd better take them along.
Otherwise you can buy all these
items over there.

Returns Art Objects
Looted Abroad

Of paintings by European masters
to the Boston Museum.
She was with the OSS from
1943-45, but when asked IL she
got any sleuthing experience
there which would assist her
In tracking down stolen treas
ures, she laughed and said:
Museums and Dealers
Actually. did not do any
sleuthing in the OSS, and my
work here is not OF that sort.
We mostly work through dealers
and the museums all over the
country.
1.-THE museums have been
alerted about the missing treas
ures. and they let me know when
ever anything of that sort comes
into their hands. Then we US
ually go to the dealer in the
States who sold it to the mu-
scum, and he is almost always
cooperative about the matter"
According to Miss Hall. the
United States dealer doesn't usu-
ally lose anything in this, because
he has the work of art on con-
Signment from a European
dealer, who may or may not
know that he is marketing stolen
goods. In any case, it Is the
latter who bears the loss.
What about the recalcitrant
ones who will not give up the
art work?
Fortunately" Miss Hall re-
piled. "We rarely have thai
trouble-it is really gratifying
to see how cooperative every
one is. ! am constantly impressed
with the generosity people show
You know. Americans are a
very nice people,"
But, she went on, in the event
that there is trouble or any vio-
lation of the law, then it is re.
ferred to the proper authorities
in some cases the Treasury De.
partment If there is a customs
violation, or to the Department
of Justice or the Army.

When these objects are re.
covered. they are always returned
through diplomatic channels tc
the governments. who in turn
see that they reach the individ-
uals if they are parts of pri-
vate collection.
Perhaps the most valuable
article we have found is the
Mainz Psalter which dates back
to 1457. It is a Book of Psalms
and there are only 10 of that
