Red Peril Seen
In Race Dispute
BYMrs. Meyer

Mrs. Agnes E. Meyer last night
urged that President Eisenhower
lead the fight against racial in
tolerance, which she said is play
ing into the hands of the Com
munists.
The writer and lecturer on
social problems told the National
Council Of Negro Women that
the wave Of anti-intellectualism
now sweeping the Western world"
threatens to give the Reds Just
the power they need to recover
from recent setbacks in Hungary
and elsewhere.
IF communism RECEIVERS its
powerful impetus, it will be ac-
complished by placing itself at
the head Of the revolt of the
colored races and by encour-
aging their determination to put
an end to white supremacy" she
said.
Fight Against Intolerance
Egypt's President Nasser played
"this communist game when he
shouted to the Egyptian mobs
that the British French-Israeli
attack on the Suez Canal was
an attempt to Cypress the COL
ored races" she said.
Unless the reactionary ele-
ments are awakened to the Sit
uation, Mrs. Meyer said, the
hope for a free cooperative
world civilization will be crushed.
She said the fight against in
tolerence must be waged through
reason. but added:
ALAS, it was never more diff
flcult to defend reason as the
prime source Of morality and So
cial progress than it is today.
For our people have succumbed
to the wave of anti-intellectual-
ism now sweeing the Western
world"
Calls Social Structure Weak
She called the recent congress
sional hearing on desegregation
Of District schools "a good ex-
ample of these deliberate at
tempts to misrepresent what is
actually happening"
A nationwide approach would
also reveal the serious weak
nesses of our whole social struc-
ture, she said. She called Presi-
dent Eisenhower's campaign
statement that desegregation of
schools is a state and local prob
lem "a half truth"
She suggested appointment of
q Federal commission to inveSti-
gate the social causes underlying
the school indignation problem,
but said the District should have
its own commission "since Presi-
dent Eisenhower declared that
the nations capital must set
an example in living up to our
democratic ideals"
The wife of the chairman of
the board Of the Washington
Post and Times Herald said she
believes such an investigation
would speed up progress now
being made rather than slow
1t down as some fear.

Alaska Population Gain of 62.5 Pct. Leads All States

Alaska, with percentage gain of 62.5 per cent in population be- tween the 1850 Census and July l, 1855, topped all States in relative growth, according to Bureau of Census population estimates by Philip M Crawford, manager, Seattle Field Office, US.

Death Penalty Ruled Mandatory for Carrying Arms on Cyprus

NICOS1A, Cyprus. R-T h e British government of Cyprus has made the death penalty manda- tory for more offenses to meet the new upsurge in killings by the pro-Greek EOKA underground.
 The island colony's governor, Field Marshall Sir John Harding, announced hanging now is the only punishment for persons con victed of discharging firearms at others, throwing bombs or carry ing arms and ammunitions.
 Thirty-two persons have been killed in November, more than double the number in any previ- ous month since rebels seeking union of Cyprus with Greece opened their offensive 21 months ago.

JOHN STARK

1t isn't always necessary tC
have a penned signature on q
written contract in order tc
make it valid.
Recently the Associated Press
reported from Paris that a
suit against Aristotle Onassis
wealthy shipping magnate, hao
been dropped. Mr.. Onassis hao
been sued for over half a mil
lion dollars by Greek broker
Spiridon Catapodis, and the
charge was that Mr.. Onassis had
signed a contract with vanishing
ink and then backed out of the
deal after his signature disap-
Ipeared.
Apparently Mr.. Catapodis was
unable to muster sufficient evil
dence to prove there had ever
been any signature or assent
but had he been able TO do so
the contract might we'll have
been held good.
In the United States. at least
if one party to a contract en-
cages in fraud, the other party
has the option of holding him
to the agreement as drawn or
renouncing the contract,
Nod May Be Enough
OF course. nearly all written
contracts are signed and most
important ones are witnessed or
otherwise certified.
But the signature is not es-
Sential if there has been some
other assent or evidence of in
tention to make the contract
valid Under some circumstances
a simple nod Of the head may
make contract binding. Under
an agent or deputy may
bind a person to a contract who
was never present at contract
negotiations. And so on.
So if you sign contract in
vanishing ink, it is just as good
a contract as though you had
signed it with indelible laundry
fluid-provided the other party
can prove you aSsented to it.

Signature Not Essential
For q Valid Contract

In Mississippi several years ago
"a Wise-guy sort of customer
bought some furniture on time.
He signed his sales contract only
with typewriter. Months later,
when the furniture was we'll used,
he said he was unhappy with it
and, since he had never legi-
timately signed the contract, he
could not be made to pay for it.
But that customer received a
rude shock.
The Mississippi court said he
had clearly shown an intent to
buy the furniture according to
the terms of the written agree
ment. His typed signature was
as good as John Hancock's
penmanship on the Declaration
OF Independence. In short, he
could pay up or else!

being due TO govt.
We know, for example. that it
can attack any joint. Once

and the wealthy and the we'll
fed, we now know it does not

You should suspect govt if
you have recurring attacks of

time and then clear up entirely.
You should become suspicious if

hours. All attacks do not begin
lat night; but govt seems to be-
come aggravated as night falls.
Gout should be suspected if
acute arthritis" appears within
five days after an operation. The
diagnosis-once it is considered
is usually easy. Your doctor
will take specimen of your
blood and have it examined for
uric acid content. If this is
high, chances are you have govt.
The clinching diagnostic point
is how you react to drug treat
ment. If you are better within
"a to 36 hours, then the diagnosis
is practically unmistakable.
Colchicine has long been the
"op reliable" in overcoming the
equity attack. Recently new eff

added For example,: butazol-

are potent drugs. l suggest you
do not experiment with them.
Let your doctor determine proper
dosage schedules.
Watch Food Intake
Between attacks. patients who
are careful of their food intake
seem to do better in preventing
future bouts. If you are over

you are normal-weighted eat
sparingly of fats. Stay away
from glandular meats. An &C.

brandy is all right but do not
take champagne, beer or wines.
AS in the management OF all

other neighborhood boys, stole a
chicken from a neighbor and
dropped it into the home of an
other boy as a prank. There
was a complaint to the police
and the boys were picked up for
questioning AT this point, a
citizens committee that works
with the police stepped in to
take over the case.
This committee has a system
of visits to the boy at regular
intervals for the purpose of
checking on him. while keeping
him out of the courts. I can see
nothing wrong with this pro-
cedure. and I certainly prefer it
to police or court action. Yet
my husband is all worked up
about it and threatens to deal
violently with any one who at
tempts to visit US for the pur-
pose of keeping tabs on the boy.
l., 4. il think this whole
thing is a lot of officlouS non
sense. l know every one of the
boys in this group. and they all
come from good families and are
good boys. Their prank was
childish. but they are only is.
Why don't the do-gooders worry
about Juveniles who do really
destructive things and whose
parents are not interested in
their welfare?
l think this is just a case of
people who are eager beavers for
statistics trying to take over
cases where they are not needed.
because that is the only way
they can make a record of saw
ing children from lives Of crime.
If they ran into a real juvenile
delinquent, they would probably
run.
These boys, when they realized
their joke had gone too far.
volunteered to do odd jobs for
the family into whose home they
had dropped the chicken and to
pay for the chicken. I think that
makes better sense than making
big official production out OF
1t.
The Councils Views
We would not discount the
fathers attitude, but We think
he should try persuadlng the
committee before taking a hos
tile attitude. As he tells the
story. these boys do not seem
to need official attention. 1t is
always better to have self-dis-
cipllne and parental discipline,
rather than official action. 1t
may be, however, that the COM
mlttee knows of other facts.
If the father makes a friendly,
reasonable presentation of his
case and if the committee then
persists. We would agree with
the father that mere pranksters
who have otherwise done moth
Ing destructive should not be
made TO feel they are eases.
While the committee empha-
sizes its unofficial" character
and its formality. it is never
theless a fact that they are
quasi official and should be in
voked only if the parents are
unwilling or unable to cope with
the problem.
1t would be best if all the
parents concerned were to meet
with the committe and dissolve
the situation amicably. Mrs. L.
a. j, should be grateful that her
husband takes seriously his duty
to stand by his son. This should
help to cement their relation

give the boy an alert sense of
responsibility.
