for poison ivy irritation can be dangerous as we'll as unpleasant. It is particularly unpleasant when 1t covers a large area Of the body, and when over-enthusiastie scratch ing transforms the irritation into an outright infection.
 Luckily, the affliction is easier to treat than 1t used to be. If you are so unfortunate as to blander up against a poison ivy vine, your doctor may prescribe a soothing ointment called Terra-Gortril. IL contains the hormone hydrocortI- sone to reduce the inflammation, plus the antibiotic Terramyein to knock out any infection which may develop.
 Nevertheless, knowing how to avoid the plants is an excellent idea. Poison ivy, oak or sumae are closely related and you need not learn to tell them apart. Gen. orally, it is wise to steer clear of any low-lying shrub or vine that has leaves in groups of three, especially if the leaves are dark green in color and have glossy appearance.
 If you are clearing a camping area and find plants which you suspect belong to this family, do not under any circumstances burn them. The irritating oil is volatile. and rises with the smoke, breathing 1t can have grave con- sequences. Poison ivy should be buried, not burned. ss.z....-----.-

VA STARTS NEW STUDY
 ON MENTAL ILL TREATMENT

Twelve neuropsychiatric hos pitals Of Veterans Administras ton will conduct medicines first extensive evaluation Of mental patient care to learn which treat ments best promote the improve ment or recovery of mentally disturbed patients.
 Dr. Jesse F. Casey. director of VAS psychiatry and neurology service, said each of the 12 hos pitals has appointed a coordin- ator for it's phase Of the project.
 Known as the psychiatric eval- uation project PEP1, the pro- gram has three purposes:
 I. To determine the relative effectiveness of different treat ment techniques. such as drugs, electroshoek, group psychother- apy, individual psyehotherapy, and the various activity thera- pies now in use in "A hospitals.
 2. To determine the relative effectiveness Of different hos. pital designs. staffing patterns. and program emphases in the treatment of psychiatrie pa fients; and.
 3. To permit valid estimates of the relative costs of the vari- olis clements in effective treat ment programs.
 The project director is Dr. Richard L. Jenkins, a psychiat- rist with headquarters in VAS Mt. Alto hospital in Washing ton, D. C.
 "When we complete the study in four or five years, Dr. Casey said. I've expect 10 have for the first time the solid factual ihfor- nation we need to guide us in developing more effective treat ment for the recovery or i'm. provement of our psychiatric pa tients. '
 The result of the study will be made available to the medical world in general

Center Of Time
By JAMES McANALLY

nROBABLY MORE people are dependent
Il upon one small town in England than
any other town or city in the world,
whether they realize it or not. FlamSteed's
Observatory, in the London suburb OF
Greenwich, situated at the base of a great
U-bend in the River Thames. is center of
all measures of longitude. and as such
establishes the basis for world time
measurement. The Observatory, built by
Charles II in 1915, was picked as the site
of the Prime Meridian for nautical location
by an international conference in 1884.
Greenwich Mean Time" has thus become
worldwide expression
Had the scientists reflected more care
fully on the site, it's likely they would have
picked another. Greenwich is subject to
river mists and fogs, SO astronomers re-
Gently moved their equipment from the
famous 18th century building to new
observatories in the clear air of HurStmon-
ceaux, Sussex. Today F1amsteed's Observa-
tory is public museum, with line mark
ing the zero meridian set in its 9-foot
stone wall, and fine collection of antique
clocks, telescopes and other instruments.
Among these is a transit installed by
Edmond HALEY, diScoverer of the famed
comet, when he was Astronomer Royal
from 1921 to 1742.
Also on the Observatory grounds, at the
foot of the hill, is the famous National
Maritime Museum, founded by Act of
Parliament in 1884, which has a large
collection of items covering the history of
the Royal Navy and Merchant Navy. 1t
has the best collection of Lord Nelson
memorabilia in existence

and an increased incidence of
bone tumor and other forms of
cancer among children.
He said the Government was
sufficiently alarmed to consider

taking was considered after a
1854 H-bomb explosion caused
"a sharp rise of strontium 90.
In spite of this, DR.. Graham
wrote, the administration has
persistently denied the existence
of any serious problem"
"The continued insistence by
the administration that all is
well" said the expert, can only
be viewed as an attempt to mis-
inform the people,

party which now is the Eisen-
hover wing.
But. perhaps more than his
record, 1t is the hard-bitten,
orthodox COP. instinct that
comes out in the Vice Presi-
dents slashing attacks on
the Democrats in campaigns,
notably his scorn and derision
for that party's New Deal-Fair
Deal components. That is the
stuff to please old-line regular
Republicans. 1t is relished by
those regular Republicans who
privately express the fear that
President Eisenhower Is "a
New Dealer"
Temporarily, for the cam
paign. the Vice President has
abandoned, as we have OBJ
served, some Of his more ir-.
responsible oratory, though his
tactic of belittling Adlai
Stevenson with a condescend-
ing sneer is clue enough for
the Old Guarders that he is
still the same Dick Nixon
underneath.
The Vice Presidents real
test-if the G. o. P. ticket
should win next Tuesday
would come in the tug of war
that will develop in the next
four years for control Of the
party between the Eisenhower
wing and the Old Guard wing.
Unless he is wary, the Vice
President could get caught
between them. It is going to
be hard to please both. That
is what he is expected to try
to do, as that has been his
course up to now.
The conservative wing is
dominant in Congress. The
eisenhower wing is entrenched
n the executive end of govern
ment. The President, him.
self, would in the event of his
reelection have only such hold
on his party as his popularity
with the people conferS upon
him. For the inherent power
formerly implicit in the threat
that a President might seek a
third term is denied to PreSi-
dent Eisenhower by the con-
stitutional ban against more
than two terms. He is the
first President to which this
has applied.

Chairman Lewis L. Strauss of

ment. said actually a study was
made TO determine the feasible
ity of purying milk if it ever
were contaminated by fallout
should we be attacked by an
emmy using atomic weapons.
MIR. Strauss also described as
false" Mr.. Stevenson's charge
that the project was kept secret.
The Acc chairman said the
study has been available to the
public since last year. having
been distributed by the Com
nerce Department and placed in
the Aces 49 libraries throughout
the country.
James c. Hagerty, White House
press secretary, handed out the
Acc paper. He described Mr..
Stevenson's statement. issued
yesterday in Cleveland, as "amaz-

Vice President Nixon. who
has been less of a controver-
sial figure in this campaign
than was expected before it
began, has also aided the Re-
publican Party in another way
which has been overlooked
generally.
He has become the special
favorite of the Robert A. Taft
wing of the Republican Party.
which has come to look on
him as their man" in the
COP. dispensation. He has
been the appeaser and the
representative at court, so to
speak, for that group.
This element still Is some
what skeptical of the Presi-
dent who defeated their idol
the late Senator Taft--at the
1852 convention. Its stand
offish attitude is partly be-
cause of the less conservative
Eisenhower views on domes-
tic and foreign policy, and
partly because the President
does not have a long identity
with the Republican Party, as
did Senator Taft. Nor does
he have a political back
ground. as did the Ohio Sen
ator, which makes him less
understanding of their pecu-
liar problems.
But the Old Guard conserva
tive group has found a substi-
tute in the Vice President. Hi.
presence in the administration
makes the Eisenhower regim'
palatable. 1t also makes it,
continuation palatable, sine
the Vice President is in the di
rect line of succession, that i
if the INSTRUMENTATION ticke
wins next Tuesday.
1t is important that thi
wing of the party be satisfied
for two reasons. One is that
it is numerous, chiefly in the
Middle West. Its active sup
port at the polls is needed.
The Eisenhower Nixon ticket
is not strong enough to stand
a stable stay-at-home defec-
ton among the Taft following.
The other reason is that the
