Our Children
BY Angelo Potri

There comes q time in every
child's life when he is separated
for some reason from his home
and parents. Maybe the family
thinks the child needs a change
from home and they send him to
a relative for a time, or to a
camp. Maybe he has to go to
a hospital. Sometimes his par
ents have to leave him for a
while because Of business, family
troubles, or a vacation trip. Such
happenings are common to all
families and are to be accepted
by them.
Children, sent from home, for
the first time in their lives, must
be prepared for the experience
ahead Of them. They must be
told where they are going, why.
what to expect Of the people and

KIPFEI,N.

MRS. o. H., Washington
Kipfeln are crescent-shaped
rolls made from any number
Of doughs, plain or filled, rich
or sweet or dry, to be served
with butter. They are the typ
ical breakfast roll of Vienna
and are served with afternoon
coffee or as q fancy small
cake. AS long as it is in the
shape Of a crescent, any baked
goods may be called Kipfeln.
The story is that the begin
ming of the Kipfeln goes back
to the seige Of Vienna by the
Turks. When King Sobiesky
of Poland finally arrived with
10000 men, in 1888, food was
very scarce in the beleaguered
town. Yet the bakers guild,
which had fought bravely in
defense Of the city, besides
making the bread, used the
last Of the flour to make the
first Kipfeln, in mockery of
the departing Turks, whose
national emblem was the cres-
cent. The Turks never came
back, but the crescent re-
manned. Here are two recipes
taken from the "Viennese
Cookbook" by Irma Rhode:

'ndiun Bureau Launches Disease Prevention PIun

The Bureau of Indian Affairs is launching a greatly expanded disease prevention program de- signed to bring the benefits of modern sanitation and personal hygiene directly into Indian homes and communities in the Western States, and Native viii lages of Alaska.
 First step in the program IS six-week orientation course for 20 young Indian sanitarian aide candidates at the Phoinix Medl- cal Center. Simultaneously the Bureau is enlarging it's field staff of qualified sanitary engineers stationed in area offices and agen- cy headquarters, with one schedu- led for the Juneau office.
 Poor health, Commissioner Emmens said in commenting on the new program, lis one of the most important factors now hold ing back many thousands of 1n- dian people from a full reallza- ton of their potentialities as Am erican citizens and as human be- ings. Effective health protection of the kind which most Ameri- cans typically take for granted in their homes and communities must be made more widely avail able to our Indian people," Extension of the program to Alaska is in line with the pre- liminary report of the Alaska Health Survey under Dr. Thomas Parran which called attention to the almost total absence of en- vironment sanitation in the en- ergency problem area north and west of the Seward-Fairbanks Railbelt. The plans call for initia- tion of a pilot project in this re- zion involving the training of six native sanitarian aides and their assignment to villages where their services are most urgently needed.

Is
Backing George
Now
BY JACK BELL

WASHINGTON R-Sen. Spark
man DALAI came out today for
a substitute offered by Sen. George
(D-Ga) for a proposed constitu-
tional amendment to limit treaty
powers.
Sparkman said in an interview
he believes George has "put into
simple words" what Sen. Bricker
(R-Ohio) sought to do in an amend
ment proposal which has been
criticized vigorously by President
Eisenhower.
THE George amendment will
give assurance to those who actu.
ally fear that a treaty might in
fringe upon constitutional rights"
Sparkman said.
George planned conferences to-
day with Sen. Knowland of Cali
fornia, the Republican floor leader,
and possibly with Bricker on pro-
posed changes in his substitute.
The Senate resumes discussion of
the constitutional change today,
with George predicting that a
showdown vote may be reached
by Thursday.
AS it stands now, Georges SUBJ
stitute would nullify treaties or
international agreements which
conflict with the Constitution. It
also would provide that an inter-
national agreement, other than a
treaty. should not become effective
as internal law except by act of
Congress. Such agreements are not
now subject to Senate ratification,
as are treaties.
To his second provision George
proposed adding language which
would exempt the Presidents war
and diplomatic recognition powers.
George studied over the week
end a memorandum from Atty.
Gen. Brownell which apparently
suggested alternative language to
that offered by the Georgia sena-
tor.
George said that until he dis
cusseS this new counteroffer with
Knowland and Bricker he won't be
able to say whether 1t is accept
able to him.
Meanwhile, Brownell was silent
on a weekend demand from Sen.
HenningS (D-Mo) that the attorney
general come out against any
compromise on the treaty power
issue.
There can be no compromise
on this issue without compromising

Garrett Case
Caused Judge
Much Concern

PHILADELPHIA R - A judge
who heard some $50 claims to the
17-million-dollar Garrett snuff es-
tate-one Of the greatest fortune
hunts in history-says he always
kept a small revolver on the
bench.
President Judge Charles Klein
Of the Philadelphia Orphans Court
revealed yesterday he kept the lit
lie gun near his hand as he heard
the wild claims in one of the most
involved and bitter viii contests
ever to come before the probate
courts OF the United States.
The object of the fortune seekers
was the large estate left by Mrs.
Henrietta Garrett, widow of a
wealthy snuff manufacturer, when
she died in 1880 without a will.
The case was ended last week.
my association with this case
has been the most trying expert
ence of my life," Judge Klein said.
'Never before have l been sub
jected to such abuse by neurotics
and other unreasonable people who
were motivated by selfish greed
or self-hypnosis induced by the
vision Of many millions of dollars
involved in this fantastic case. I"
Many of the claimants had
shown evidence at masters hear
ings that they were suffering from
Authorizations, he said. Many dir
ected their hatred against the
court and the courts officers.
Judge Klein was trying to pre-
vent what actually happened in
Warren. Pa, last month when a
husband involved in a support case
shot a Judge as he sat on the
bench.
Police ordered the precaution of
the revolver, Judge Klein said,
and they also placed armed guards
in the courtroom after he took over
the case in 1850.
AT that time it was 20 years old.
Masters had received and pro-
cessed 25,S00 claims from every
state and Is foreign nations.
Judge Klein finally awarded the
fortune to the families of three
deceased cousins-Joann Peter
Christian Shafer of Bad Nauheim,
Germany; German Kretschmar of
st. Louis; and Howard Kretsehmar
of Chicago. The case was ended
last week with the discharge of
the administrators.
