This Rock
Of Ours
By Bill Glib

Commander Walter F. Toy, USN,
heads up an organization which s
seeking to provide improved read
ing facilities for young children.
The group started "Bookmobile"
library which will furnish the 18th
grade age group with good books
during the summer vacation. The
venture is entirely non-commer-
cial. 1t is an excellent idea.
Thanks to the Officers Wives
Club and many other civic-minded
groups and individuals, approx
mately 1900 books have already
been collected. Mrs. Edith Rus
sell, a teacher at Poinciana school
will be in charge of the Book
mobile"
Anyone wishing to donate cash
or books to this worthy project
should contact Cmdr. Toy, 1914

AS soon as possible, the service
being provided for the younger age
groups will be extended to include
high school students.

able. Pushing the fight for this
project was Domestic Judge J. w.
Mills, one of the leading figures
in the fight against delinquency.
Judge Mills, who thinks that
broken homes contribute much to
delinquency, is seeking legislation
to stop hasty marriages and to
stop the trial of divorce cases
where the husband and father does
not appear to contest divorce or
seek child custody.
He also urges citizens as a whole
to interest themselves more in the
various social agencies, civic
groups and community organiza-
tons coping with juvenile delin-
quency.

throughout the world, will join in
homage to the Herald of the
Bahs'is Faith the Bah (the Gate),
who was publicly martyred by

He announced the advent of the
Promised One OF all religions,
Baha'u'lah (the Glory Of Cod
whose teachings of the holiness of
religion and the unity of mankind
have attracted millions of follow

The worlds newest shrine which
encloses the tomb of the Bah, will
be the scene on July of the first
memorial service since its compile

unique blend Of Gothic, Greek and
Oriental styles of architecture. 1t
overlooks Haifa Bay from the slop-
es of biblical Mt. Carmel, located
amidst extensive terraced gardens,
the nucleus of the Bahai World
Center in the Holy Land.
The eight-sided base is surmount-

stained-glass windows, one for each
Of the Bab's first followers and is
capped by $4,000 tiles of baked
gold leaf. Cleaning in the sun by
day and hood-lighted by night, the
shrine is visible for miles around,

@. I am a disabled World War II
veteran, and I'd like to take voca-
tional rehabilitation training under

ing program comes to an end.
You would have to enroll for a
course that you could finish in two

Will l be permitted to resume my

is this the kind of interruption
that's not allowable? :, -
A. You will be permitted to re-

you return from your trip. VA

ruption as one caused by a valid

veterans? &c.,.
A. No. The August 20 cutoff

By the Assoeio,ed Press

BALTIMORE. Sept. 49,
What does it take to make
Americans panic?
DR.. John Walker Powell, a
Maryland psychiatrist. believes
it takes a rare combination of
enormous destruction and death
and that Americans are more
likely to turn to tremendous
reserves of courage, generosity
and heroism" than panic.
DR.. Powell bases his conclu-
sions on a study Of Is major
American disasters, including
tornadoes. air crashes and mass
poisonings, made by a research
team under his direction.
The results showed panic was
rare among Americans in these
and similar circumstances and
contradicted a conviction among
some civil defense authorities
that Americans are the most
panic-prone people on earth.
II would like to meet the man
who can think of as many as a
dozen authenticated cases of
fatal panic in our century," says
DR.. Powell.
He readily classes Boston's
Coconut Grove fire of 1912, in
which 498 died, in this category.
1t was, he says, typical of an
entrapment situation" in which
there were many cases Of indi-
vidual panic.
Results Of the Powell survey
have been. forwarded to the Ma
tional Research Councils Com
mittee on Disaster Study, which
also receives reports from SINH
lar groups throughout the Ma
ton.
DR.. Powell believes informa-
ton gathered by his team, and
others like it, will prove valua-
BILE to civil defense officials, pri-
vate industry and the armed
forces.
His particular research was
undertaken on contract from the
Army Chemical Corps medical
laboratories at Edgewood, Md.
DR.. Powell distinguishes be-
tween panic and rational be-
havior on the part of individuals
acting on wrong information. !"
He cites false information as
one of the chief causes Of panic,
however, and feels public address
systems should be vital parts Of
air raid shelters in order that
those taking cover can be kept

Body Chemistry, Not Years,
Determines Age, Doctor Says

mir Funk Of the Funk Founda-
ton for Medical Research, Of
New York City.
This substance, which he calls
"oncotine," exists In extremely
small amounts in the animal
spleen, which lately has been
demonstrated to be a literal
drug producing factory. DR..
Funk said. The spleen, for ex-
ample. apparently contains
something not yet identified
which inhibits the deadly effects
Of high-energy radiation.
The new substance, he
stressed, has not yet been tested
in man and may well be value
less, since man does not suffer
from this particular kind of
cancer.
Keeps Weight Up.
Oncotine,. he said, had another
effect which demonstrated its
beneficial action. Usually mice
begin to lose weight on the third
day after being inoculated with
this kind of cancer cells. Can
cerous mice treated with onco-
tine continue to gain weight.
A second substance, which he
called "oncostimukine" was ex-
tracted from the spleen cultures
and had exactly the opposite
effect. DR.. Funk said. When it
was administered the tumor in
creased in size and the mouse
lost weight.
The discovery, he said, came
after seven years Of research.
The amounts of both materials
IN nature are so minute that
there are only about two ounces
in three tons of beef spleen.
He is not claiming, DR.. Funk
stressed, any new cancer cure"
but only two hitherto unknown
natural substances with powerful
biological effects. They may
form ingredients of various
foods, he said.

Push Medical Care
Lest Politicians Act,
GU Professor Warns

A Georgetown University Med
ical Center professor last night
told his colleagues to acknowl-
edge the public demand for
universal medical care before it
becomes a matter for politicians
rather than for doctors.
DR.. Mario Mollari, professor of
bacteriology and immunology at
the School Of Medicine, spoke at
the fall convocation in CASTOR
Hall. marking the opening of
the schools academic year.
The physician said. 'The pub
lie today is aware of the newer
trends in medicine. and of its
enormous cost to the individual
and the family. The demand is
growing with greater insistence
for more good health
Good Health Demanded
1.-THE public at large is de-
handing ever more loudly and
persistently that good health be
given to all. high and low, in the
form of diagnosis, treatment,
preventive medicine and public
health programs. It has become
a social. a moral and political
factor. The sooner we acknowl-
edge this social phenomenon.
the better of we will be.
If we are not producing the
good" the professor continued.
"let us come up with some deep
thinking and some plans, or
somebody else more inclined to
politics than thinking may come
up with a master plan which
will be showed down our throats."
Faculty Award Winner.
DR.. Mollari was one of three
Georgetown Medical faculty
members to be given the John
j. Raskob Faculty Award. The
others were DR.. Charles A. Huff
nagel, director of the Expert
mental Surgery Laboratory, and
DR.. w. Proctor Harvey, assistant
professor of medicine.
DR.. Huffnagel's award was in
recognition of his development
OF new surgical techniques in the
field Of heart disease. DR.. Har-
vey was cited for his perfec-
ton Of the tape recorder to allow
medical students to become IA
miliar with abnormal heart
sounds.

Americans Rarely Panic,
Psychiotrist's Survey Shows

swamped police stations. news
papers and radio stations all
over the country. DR.. Powell says
listeners were impelled, not by
panic, but by a desire for more
information.
Traffic jams after the Worces-
ter tornado in June, 1858, were
attributed to the fact that family
heads, all getting out of work at
about the same time, were hurry
ing home to care for families
they thought may have been in
jured or affected in some way by
the twister.
Again, says DR.. Powell, this
was not panic, but logical be-
havior.
DR.. Powell's survey found that
a uniform Of any kind appears
to take on a special significance
in most disasters. A milkman in
the 1850 explosion at Perth AM
boy, N. j., was granted consider
able on-the-spot authority only
because he had visor on his cap.

Morning Roinbows
Always Seen in West

BOSTON.-A morning rain
bow must appear in the west,
an evening rainbow in the east.
This is because a rainbow, the
result Of the bending Of the suns
rays in raindrops is always seen
opposite to the direction Of the
sun.
Since weather generally moves
from west to east, a rainbow
seen in the evening is likely to
result from a storm that has
already gone past, while one in
the morning may be from an
approaching storm or shower.
