By CAROLYN LLOYD

All, the merry month of May.
Its names conjures up many
things: May baskets, May poles,
May peas May Queens, and Memo
rial Day; and most of them aren't
what they used to be.
Time was when the first day of
May found children preparing bas-
kets Of flowers to leave at the door
of friends. The results weren't al
ways artistic, but the baskets were
fun to prepare and fun to receive.
Best of all, they weren't CONNER
cialized. Nobody thought of buying
flowers to put in them and there
were no ads to ballyhoo the idea.
Though there are still a few cha
dren who carry out the charming
tradition, the May basket has just
about faded into the past.
The May Pole has Jared better,
though it is by no means as pre-
valent as it once was. Breathes
there a soul so dead that he or she
has not at least once danced about
a May Pole clad in a crepe paper
costume. First there were hours
and hours of practice, using strips
of cloth in place of the ribbon or
crepe paper streamers to be at
tached to the pole on the great day.
In retrospect, / can see that the

ordeal for the teacher in charge.
Somebody always seemed to have
two left feet, failed to keep time
to the music, wound in the wrong
direction, or became entangled in
the streamers. Came the big day,
they usually made the same mis-
takes or worse ones Or else
it rained, and the crepe paper cos
tunes wilted and sent rivulets of
dye running down the legs of the
hapless little elves, flowers or
whatnots sewed into the costumes.
Along about May 1, the papers
still carry pictures of beauteous
n1aidens in billowing white dresses
who call to mind the line from an
old poem: Awake me early Mother
dear, for I'm to be Queen of the
May" The colleges continue to
carry on the tradition, but the
queens have a lot of competition
in the form of potato queens"
pickle queens" and other varie-
ties. AS yet May Queens haven't
started appearing in bathing suits
so they are something of a novelty
and provide chance for the girl
who has a pretty face but might
be bowlegged.
Memorial Day used to be a
really big day, they tell me. Bands
played, speeches were made, and
children were allowed to take off
their long underwear. Though the
day is still a holiday of sorts, no
bands play, people don't stay still
long enough to listen to speeches,
and children don't wear enough
to be entitled to take any off until
they get ready to go swimming.
AS for the May peas, perhaps
they used to bear plentifully in the
month of May, but it seems to me
that it is June now before they
make their appearance in any
abundance. Of course, if anyone
wants to prove me wrong by bring
ing me quart, preferably shelled,
this month, 1 shall be glad to re-
tract that statement.
In spite of changes, it is still the
merry month of May to many, for
school is out.

Safety Rules
Outlined For
'Thundersforms

Each year several hundred per-
sons are killed by lightning.
In an effort to prevent such
deaths, an editorial in the Journal
of the American Medical Associa-
tion presented the following rules
for personal safety during thun-
derstorms:
l. Do not go out of doors or re-
main out during thunderStorms
unless it is necessary. Stay inside
of building where it is dry, pref
erably away from chimneys. fire
places. stoves and other metal OBJ
jectS.
2 If there is any place of shell
ter. choose in the following order:
large metal OF metai-frame build
ings, dwellings or other buildings
which are protected against light
ming, and large or small unpro-
tected buildings.
3. If remaining out of doors is
unavoidable. keep away from small
sheds and shelters if in an exposed
location, isolated trees. wire fenc-
es, and hill tops and wide open
spaces.
4. Seek shelter in a cave, a de-
preston in the ground, deep val
ley or canyon. the foot of a steep
OF overhanging cliff, in a dense
woods. or in a grove of trees.
"One of the safest places during
a lightning storm is in some metal
enclosure, such as an automobile
with a metal top, a steel railway
coach or a steel building" the ed
itorial pointed out. "A dangerous
place is in the middle of field
away from all trees or in a wooden
boat in a large eXpanSe of water.
In a residential area, if the
house is higher than the surround
ing trees. the lightning may dis
charge through the building. If
the trees in the same vicinity are
higher, lightning may discharge
through them instead of the house.
Pointed lightning rods will dis
charge the atmosphere and con-
duct the lightning to the ground.
A farmer plowing the field would
be safer under the tractor than
perched in its seat.
1T is probably unwise to lean
against an isolated tree trunk dur
ing a thunderstorm. If nothing
better is available. it is probably
safer to sit under the tree. but one
should stay several feet away from
the trunk and not touch it.

Many Traditional Physics
Notions Upset By Einstein

PRINCETON, N. j. AP - AL
bert Einstein, intellectual adven-
turer, said he had a kind of
faith that helped to become hope
less in the great difficulties of
investigation"
This man. who died Monday,
overturned the most traditional
notions of physics.
He was the son of middle class
South German Jews. From his
father. Hermann, an electical en-
gineer. ne first learned about sci
ence. His mother, Pauline Koch,
gave him his love of music and
art.
SLOW STARTING
Einstein didn't speak a word uIn-
til he was 3 years old, but by the
time he was IA he had taught
himself algebra, analytical geo.
metry and integral and differen-
tial calculus. None of this had
yet been taught him in school.
He was also interested in philo-
sophy He ended to
follow his fathers profession and
took entrance examinations at
the Polytechnic Academy in
Zurich, Switzerland. His know
ledge. and understanding of ma
thematics and physics amazed
his professors.
The young scientist. however,
was mainly occupied with physics.
He said he early learned to- study
only what led to the fundamen-
tails and "to turn aside from
everything else"
MARRIED IN 1908
Einstein, who always was pas
sionately proud of his Jewish cul-
tural and spiritual traditions, was
married in 1908 at the age of "a
to Serbian Catholic, Meleva
Marie. whom he met in mathe-
matics class. They had two sons,
Hans Albert, born in 1904. and
Edward, born in 1909.
Hans became a professor of
hydraulics at the University of
California and a consultant on
soil erosion for the U. S. govern
ment. Edward remained in Zu-
rich, and little was known here of
his activities.
Einstein's first marriage end
ed in divorce.
When he went to Berlin in
1914 to accept a post as professor
of the Prussian Academy of Sci
ence, he met again his first cou-
sin, Elsa Einstein, with whom he
had grown up. They were mar
ried year later.
Also divorced, she had two
daughters.
At the time of his second mar
hiage, Einstein had achieved great
stature in the scientific world
and was beginning to feel the
pressure of public acclaim.
Elsa Einstein became her hus-
bands buffer against the world.
A woman of culture, she also was
practical and had sound busi-
ness Judgment. She took over the
management of all of her hus-
bands affairs and there was a
saying in Berlin that:
IF you would know Herr AL
bert, first know Frau Elsa"

or to make it productive and then
stop it as soon as its usefulness is
over. Drugs that will suppress
cough by hitting at the cough re-
fiex are the object of intensive lab
oratory research. Codeine used to
be the main cough-suppressant but
it was never satisfactory because
Of its narcotic nature as well as
undesirable side-effects.
Researchers in recent years have
been screening large numbers of
chemical compounds to find non-
narcotic anti-cough drugs. Early
this year an effective and safe drug
called Toclase was discovered to
act specifically and swiftly on the
cough reflex. Clinical tests showed
there was no danger of addiction
and that it caused no drowsiness
or constipation.

money and rejected offers of large
sums for articles and testimonials,
was perfectly satisfied to let his
wife guide his personal and pri-
vate life.
"They make such demands on
his time" she once said. "he must
have peace in which to think"
She died in Princeton in 1886
at the age of So.
But, with all his love of seclu-
sion. he was often unpredictable.
People who didn't know him ex-
pected him to be some sort of
super-being. They we're astonish-
ed ON one occasion when he visit
ed downtown Princeton. A small
group gathered to watch. He
bought newspaper. then went
into a and 10 cent store for a
comb and a cake of soap.
Apparently he read all his mail
and answered a good deal of it
himself, including requests from
puzzled high school students.
PROBLEM SOLVED
And there was the occasion
when one got by the front door.
A 14-year-old pupil at Princeton
Country Day School, he was SO
puzzled over an examination pro-
blem he decided to ask Einstein
for a solution.
The boy said he thought that
two consecutive odd numbers. the
difference of whose squares is Sc,
may be negative as well as posi-
tive.
You're right" said Einstein.
1t is not recorded that anyone
challenged the young scholars
answer at school the next day. 1t
would have been interesting if
someone had.
For, in his way, he had the
same last word which for years
guided top ranking scientists the
world over.

Since coughing is a result Of ir.
ritation of the throat or bronchial
passages, it has as many different
causes as there are different irri-
tants. Dust, for instance, or hot
dry air and, of course, smoking.
Asthma, lung or chest infections,
disorders of the nerves involved
in the cough reflex, or ear dis
orders can all cause coughing.
Coughing can even be a matter of
habit, like facial tic.
Physicians place coughs in two
classes. productive and unproduc-
tive. TIE former helps clear OBJ
structions, especially of mucus. A
cough may be unproductive be-
cause there's no obstruction to re-
move, or you may not be able to
cough as hard as necessary.

Jewish Appeal
Nets 100000

A total of $700, 900 was pledged
last night at the advance gifts
dinner opening the 1855 cam
paign of the United Jewish APP
peal. The event was held In the
Woodmont Country Club, with
some 300 persons making con-
tributions.
The figure marked an increase
Of $4,000 over the 1854 advance
gifts dinner. The amount raised
this year will be applied to the
1855 local campaign quota of
$1,S75,000.
Principal speaker was Avra-
ham Hartman. Israeli consul gen.
eral in the United States. He
said that, after seven years of
hostility and warfare since its
founding, Israel in 1855 is I'm
comparably stronger than in
1948."
"Today's Israel" Mr.. Hartman
said, has more people. a
stronger economy, a population
more deeply rooted and defense
forces more greatly equipped to
do a job than in 1948." But the
speaker added that the solving
of the border situation between
Arabs and Jews is dependent
upon the 'reciprocation" of the
Arab nations, and commented
"let the Arabs stay out of Is
rael and everything will be all
right"
Other speakers last night were
Joel S. Kaufman. general chair
man of the 1855 Greater WASH
ington UJA campaign: Leopold
Freudberg, president of the local

In an interview, MIR. Finzel,

the following probably will be
explored:
Why can't the security pro-
gram be limited to the 81 agen-
cies that are authorized to handle
classified material instead of be-
ing Government-wide?
With the extension Of Public
Law 1888 OF 1950-the legal basis
of the security setup-by Presi-
dent Eisenhower's Executive Or
der l0450 consistent with the in
tent of Congress in granting
such authority for emergency
use?
Should information from con-
fidential informants be used by
the Government in non-sensitive
Suitability cases?
Would it be wise to authorize
the FBI to take testimony under

gossip and loose and unsubstan-
tiated charges that sometimes
