Babies-thanks to their In
Igenious ,structures-haye more
bounce to the ounce" than any
number Of soft drinks.
From the engineering stand
point, baby is built to take the
crashing falls Of early life. For
example. certain "plop" with
which he sits down would wreck
his elders for weeks. And as
soon as he reaches that big
stage of development-t h c
...turnovers"--it can be concluded
that baby soon will be on his
way to the floor from the bed,
bathinet, chair or sofa. Serious
injury. however. rarely results
Nevertheless. one Of the great
fears Of parenthood stems from
baby's tendency to fall regularly
from any position. The remark
Ibid your mother drop you as
a child?" has insidiously worked
its way into the minds of most
parents. The chief. fear. Of
course, is brain damage" re-
sulting from a fall.
The phrase brain damage
coupled with today's accent or
mental health, carries with II
all the frightening thoughts that
My child viii be mentally re.
ltarded. my child viii be the
ward of an institution. my
child will never be a part oi
society.
Bounce Saves Baby
But because of that bounce
that resiliency-most Of baby,
falls, including the shatterine
kind accompanied with breakage
Of lamps or ash trays, are moi
serious. Rarely is there any
permanent damage to the brain
mechanism.
| AS a pediatrician was saying
the other day. one of the things
he listens for when a mother
calls in about a fan on the head
is some word from the baby. II
baby Is bowling, there's a good
chance everything is all right
'"Fhe more vociferous the re-
action after q fall, the greater
the chance there is no danger
the doctor said.
Most head falls, the doctor
continued. are absorbed by some
other part Of the child's body
The awful-looking knot on the
head that appears after a head
fall is rarely anything more than
a fast rising bruise composed
Of blood from broken blooc
vessels and fluid.
Skull Has Safety Factor
A baby's skull has a built-ir
safety factor. Skull bones are
not fixed, but still in a stat,
of growing together. It's thi.
factor that works during birth
to prevent brain injury-tht
skull has q certain amount oi

Atoms and hurricanes are
pitching the Weather Bureau
into q national prominence un-
known during its IS years Of
sterling service. But this situa-
tion is by no means an unmixed
blessing.
Besides professional growing
pains. the Bureau is faced with

>--->----.----->------
new legal problems, including
people who want to know:
Can we sue the Weather
Bureau?"
This question has emerged
partly because the Bureau may
soon be performing an important
new service in connection with
atomic power plants. some of
which are due to begin operating
in the near future. Unless such
plants are able to bury" all
waste matter, they may be more
dangerous to operate on overl
cast days when radioactive
smoke" may not be properly
dispersed. Hence their operators
viii depend on Bureau forecasts
which are right so to 80 percent
Iof the time but not all of it.
What is Liability?
So If a power plant causes
damage by operating on a bae
day when the Bureau had pre-
dicted clear weather, who is
liable?
The Bureau considers itseh
immune in such cases, as il
seems to be in the case of floods

Boby's Bounce Saves
Him From Bad Injury

bad fall is not necessarily serious.
The crack does not mean. doctors
explain, that the brain has been
damaged in any way.
Conclusion" following a fall
Is still another loose term that
can be applied to momentary
shock or, extended drowsiness.
In itself, a conclusion is not
serious, doctors say.
Contrary to one "Old Wives
Tale" which contends that q
baby should not be permitted to
sleep after a fall. doctors today
recommend letting the baby
sleep-if that's what he wants
to do after a severe fall. Ap-
parently there's good reason. II
the fall has created any bleed
ing within the skull. the various
ways and means Of keeping
baby awake only serve to In
crease that bleeding-increase
the chance of serious injury.
Danger Spots in Home
Going to sleep after a fall Is
not taken as a danger signal.
doctors explain, but a state of
unconciousneSs is. Doctors Sug-
gest that one safeguard against
unconciougness being hidden by
sleep is to rouse the child from
time to time.
Chief danger spots in most
households are the bathroom
and the staircase to the cellar.
Caution should be practiced to
the utmost at these points.
doctors say, due to tile or cement
floors. Wood floors or rugs are
better to fall on.
One of the off-shoots of a
youngsters fall is the guilt feel
ing kicked up in the parent
who feels, Il should never have
let him out Of my sight"
DR.. Benjamin Spock. the Pc
diatrician who has written book
on baby care which sells about
even with the Bible, sums up
that feeling this way:
g. a.. If child is so carefully
watched that he never has an
accident, he is being fused over
too much. His bones may be
saved, but his character will be
ruined"

Despite these advances, COP
strategists began to view the racial
issue In a different light, Abrams
said. They watered down the civil
rights plan of the 1862 platform
after President Truman's strong
position on civil rights had made
the South an open territory for
the Republicans. he said. Build
ing and real-estate interests, work
ing through the Housing Agency
and the Presidents Advisory Com
mittee on Housing, have insisted
that Horne's ideas will hamper the
building boom, Abrams said, adding
that President Eisenhower, this
spring, condemned the use of anti
discrimination riders appended to
housing and other appropriation
measures as "clouding" the issue.
On July Il. 1855. Cole told a
House committee that the govern
ment shouldn't "move too precip-
itously" in eliminating racial seq
regation from the Federal hous-
ing programs.
"A choice must be made" Alb

6. The promise that mortgage
money from Federal sources would
be made available to racial minori-
ties under the Voluntary Mortgage
Program has turned out to be a
dead letter"
z. In an attempt to quiet the
protest that followed Horne's dis
missal, Cole offered him q special
ly created job as adviser on inter.
national housing, thereby admit
ting that "budgetary considera.
tions" had nothing to do with his
dismissal.
Horne's dismissal will have
served a useful purpose, Abrams
said, "if it dramatizes the need
for a Racial Relations Service that
cannot be scuttled at the will OF
some politicians or debased into q
convenient screen for publicly
sanctioned bigotry in housing"
ITO be effective" he added, "the
Service must be independent. II
must be stated with professional
experts, not professional poll
ticians. IL must be assured Of
continuity, be permitted to work

Horne's program, since 1888, has
been a target of the real-estats
lobby" Abrams said. AS late a.

sion.
Abrams added that most of the
gains made on race relations In
the past few years have been
erased in the last few months. He
cited the following:
/. On February Z, 1866, the re-
quirement that local housing au-
thorities show that public housing
projects will make equitable pro-
vision for eligible families of all
races" and that tenants will be
selected according to urgency Of
their need was shorn Of its en-
forcement provisions.
2. On March 8, 1855, a require
ment protecting minority groups
against the diminution of the over
all housing supply in a community
through demolition operations was
deleted from the Public Housing
Administration Manual.
8. On April IL, 1865, the require
ment that Substantially the same
quality service, facilities and con-
veniences with respect to all stand
ards and criteria :" be provided
to all races was removed.
4. The urban renewal program,
originally designed TO increase the
housing supply as well as to elm
mate slums, has been steadily
perverted into a device for getting
rid of minorities." The Admins
tration has approved hardly any
projects on vacant land that would
increase the housing supply. Most
approved projects call for clear
ance Of Negro settlements and
those Of Puerto Ricans and other
minorities. A proposal by Racial
Relations advisers TO limit demoli-
ton operations 20 areas where G.
victed families could find adequate
shelter within their means was re-
jected.

The dismissal Of Frank s. Horne,
who helped establish the Racial
Relations Service in 1888, may be
the eliminating step in the Repub-
lican Party's effort to scuttle .
the Service and many of the gains
it has made in its long fight against
discrimination ," Abrams
charged in his article "Segrega-
ton, Housing, and the Horne
Case"
Horne, who is appealing his dis
missal to the Civil Service Com
mission, was given a hearing be-
fore a trial examiner last Thurs
day (Sept. 22nd.) A decision is
expected within a week.
Abrams listed the steps he
claimed are undermining the Ra-
cial Relations Service:
/. Ten official positions in the
Service assigned to. FILA were re-
moved from Civil Service CLASH
fication to make political appoint
ments possible. The post of Racial
Relations officer for the important
Northeastern area has remained
untitled.
2. Only three of six officials as
signed to the staff of FILA Chief
Albert NJ. Cole remain.
3. Four Of five officials assigned
to race-relRtions and relocation
duties in the urban renewal pro-
gram have been told to forget the
race-relstions part of their jobs,
The fifth was taken off the Di-
rector's staff and the Board Of
Review. New appointments have
been indefinitely postponed.

instated after months Of suspen-

The average hand picker gathers
only 200 to 300 pounds day. Mr..
Banks rate is 81 per hundred, or
about a doller per hundred cheaper
than hand-picking. He has been
in the field with his picker since
late August and expects to con-
tinue until late October when the
cotton harvest is about over.
Being the only colored farmer
in Washington county with a me-
chanical picker, Mr.. Banks is kept
busy working for his neighbors.
II is estimated that white farmers
in the county own about 900 pick
ers.
The increased use Of mechanical
cotton harvesters is said to be re-
Elected to some extent in the de-
cline in farm employment in the
South. This year the average
monthly farm employment in the
region is down 1876, 900 from q year
ago. And as the cotton harvest got
underway in August, there were
nearly 100000 fewer persons at
work on farms in the South than
the average for August during the
past five years.
While Mr.. Banks looks upon cot
ton as his main cash crop, he is
no one-crop farmer, says State
Leader Ammons. In addition to
cotton, he raises beef cattle, hogs,
corn, soybeans, wheat, oats, hay
and vegetables on the los acres
he owns and the 45 he rents.
He and Mrs. Banks got started
buying a farm of their own
through the Farmers Home Ad-
ministration during World War II.
Up to that time, the 43-year-old
farmer had been sharecropping all
his life on a plantation near Hol-
landale about 20 miles away from
where he now lives.
