argued, therefore. that the I'M
used quota Of TAPS would be-
come available along with the
increase of $4,000 and thereby
almost double last years ad-
missions.
Mr.. Arens also argued that the
dropping of the mortgages would
permit another 5000 admissions
annually.
He contended that existing
national origins quotas were
based on studies which showed
that five-sixth of the population
of the United States in 1920
traced its origin to northern or
western Europe.
Mr.. Brownell said he would
not subscribe to that because
of flaws in the basic data.
Mr.. Arens inquired if reallo-
eating unused quotas would
transfer the cultural pattern"
of immigration to Southern and
Eastern Europe.
Il would not associate my
self with that statement" re-
piled Mr.. Brownell. II don't
recognize that cultural pattern. :"
Although disagreeing with Mr..
Arens on the additional number
of immigrants who would be
eligible, Mr.. Brownell said, "I
don't want to disguise the fact
that the purpose Of the legisla-
ton is to let in more people"

than 10 years Of failure.
MY wife refuses to under
stand that Donald has had tc
make sacrifices for me in the
past My parents did not have
much money, but they centered
all their hopes in me and

get me through my professional
training. For some reason, they
just neglected Donald. He did
not have half the advantages ]

MY brother doesn't want to
be dependent on me. His wife
has worked. He has taken odd
jobs, but it's still been a rough
road for him. He hasn't loafed.
He's done his best and I feel
should stand by him until he
achieves what he wants"
The Councils View
While Stanley's loyalty to
Donald is commendable, there is
some question as to whether he
is doing the best thing for him.
1t is true that many actors
have succeeded after more than
10 years Of failure, but it is also
true that many have not. Among
those who haven't there may
have been many with talent. The
failures, whether or not they
had talent. had to pass bitter and
futile years.
Donald cannot be very happy
in his present situation. He is
now in the position where he not
only has to prove to himself, but
to his brother, that the long in
Vestment in him is worthwhile.
If he were forced to adjust to
economic necessities, he might
find there are other Satisfactions
in life besides acting. Stanley
may be booming his brother to
unhappiness and Illustration.
Stanley shows considerable
guilt toward Donald for what he
believes was his parents neglect.
He may have a distorted view Of
this, brought about by the pain
full difference between his situa-
ton and his brothers. But even
If he is right. he can never make
UP for what his parents did. He
may be only imposing q new bur-
den on his wronged brother.

How to
STOP KILLING
YOURSELF
Blood Thinning Used in Some Cases
By DR.. PETER J sTEINcRoHN

Concerning the problem Of
care after a patient has had ar
ATTACK Of coronary occlusion. AS
in many facets of medical treat
ment, doctors often disagree
but disagreement doesn't mean
that the patient suffers for it.
Dear DR.. Steincrohn: MY
husband, who is a businessman
Iof 81. has recently had an attack
of coronary occlusion. The fact
is that he hardly knew he was
sick until the diagnosis was
made. 1t began one night at the
movies when he complained oi
gas under his chest. When the
discomfort became so bad that
he couldn't watch the picture
lany more, we left to 60 to the
drugstore next door.
He had the soda clerk make
up mixture for him and felt
better by the time we got into
our car. But on the way home
1.-THE pressure under his breast
bone came back again in
sisted. when we got home, on
calling our doctor. He said he'd
bring along his electrocardio-
graph-he didn't want to take
any chances that it might be
more than indigestion. And his
Ihunch turned out correct. He
diagnosed my husbands case rs
a posterior coronary occlusion.
Now here is my reason for
writing to you. First, I'd like to
say that I have complete con-
f1dence in our doctor. He has a
fine reputation, made an early
diagnosis chat might have been
'Ioverlooked), and brought my
husband through his illness. He
is back at his work and has no
complaints.
There is only one doubt in my
mind. / have been reading that
during and after President Eli
Senhower's attack, his doctors
prescribed blood thinning medi-
Icines to forestall any future
trouble. What 1 can't under
stand is why our doctor never
prescribed such medicines at any
time in my husbands case.
Frankly. it has me worried be-
cause there are two cases on our
street, being treated by other
doctors. who have been taking
drugs called heparin and dicu-
marol.
Being a frank person, and
thinking so much of our doctor,
I asked him why he hasn't used
such treatments. He was very
nice about it and said that all
coronary patients do not require
Idicumarol or heparin.
"Dr. Steincrohn, would APP
preciate it very much if you will
contribute to my peace Of mind
by giving me your views on the
subject. Thanks much, Sincerely,
Mrs. L. S."
Answer: The key words in
your doctors answer were these:
All coronary patients do not
require it.
First let me emphasize this:
lanti-coagulant (blood-thinning)
ltherapy is undoubtedly an adj
vance in the treatment of cor
Ionary disease. Statistics show
that it has often reduced COM

where, the irradiation techniques
are being perfected. The electror
radiation is the cheapest and
easiest to produce. 1t has very
little penetrating power. however
and would be Of little value for
anything more than a half inch
thick. such as a slice of bacon.
A considerable value would be
preventing Of vegetable spoilage
by sprouting, as with potatoes
and onions. There are three
types of machines with which
this radiation is produced, each
one about as effective as the
Others.
For deeper irradiation gamma
rays are required-the lethal rays
of the atomic bomb. These are
obtained by masses Of the highly
radioactive isotope cobalt 60
sometimes referred to as "arti-
fetal radium." which now can
be produced quite cheaply in
atomic reactors. At present slugs
of uranium fuel from reactors,
kept under water, are used.
ElectrOn Radiation
Actually the killing Of micro
organisms still is accomplished
with electron radiation. The
gamma rays activate electrons
inside the food material, rather
than kill Heterogeneous them
selves. Thus the effect is es-
sentially the same as that Of
shallow surface irratiation.
One significant fact, the
QuartermaSter scientists say, has
been satisfactorily established.
None of the irradiated food be-
comes itself radioactive. Some
idea of such effect may have
circulated. 1t would, Of course,
be a fatal objection.
Different micro-organismS are
killed by different amounts of
radiation but il has been estab-
lished that the four recognized
as public health menaces. of
which the botulus organism is
the best known. are less resistant
than most of the others
In the one per cent left alive
at the end of the processing it is
certain that there are none nf
the deadly ones. If the toxin
exists in the food before the ir-
radiation there is no detoxifica-
ton effect.
Among significant side results
OF the irradiation program, it is
expected, may be considerable
lessening of quarantine regula-
tons to prevent entry into the
United States of material which
may carry germs of hoof and
mouth disease, eggs of the Med
iterranean fruit fly, etc. Such
material could quite easily be-
rendered completely sterile with
out need of any inspection.

FAMOUS FABLES
BY Z. E. EDGAR

FAMILIARITY: In 1892, when
James A. Farley was handling
the campaign for the nomination
of Franklin D. Roosevelt, he sent
thousands of letters to prospec-
tive supporters Of F. D. r. He
signed each letter with the IA
miliar "Jim." recalls Robert St.
John in This Was My World"
"One day he sent a letter to
a man in North Dakota, who
had written for some F.. D. r.
literature. Back came a quick
reply addressed Dear jim and
signed Bill Bill had been so
BATTERED to get such a personal
letter, he was going to start
lining up the entire town for
Roosevelt.
Months later, when Roosevelt
made his campaign tour of the
West, Farley went along. Early
one morning, the train pulled
onto a siding to take on water.
There was a crowd outside Yell
ing. The presidential nominee
was asleep. Farley went out onto
the rear platform. A cheer went
up, punctured by a shout Of
Hello. JIM
"As Farley glanced at the sign
over the station, his memory
produced a name for him.
Hello. Billr he shouted back
into the sea of faces. Glad to
See you
"A few days later. when Farley
returned to New York, there was
IA letter waiting for him from
Bill. 1t read:
Dear Jim: When you and 1
began corresponding, none of the
boys believed someone as impor-
tant as you would write letters
to anyone like me and sign them
Jim" So when heard your
train was coming through town,
I told them I'd prove it. When
you hollered Hello. Bill" you
made me the happiest man in
the world. In November. your
candidate is going to get every
vote in my town, and he's going
TO carry North Dakotar
"On election night. when re-
turns from North Dakota showed

teers serve only as checks. One
of the large packing companies
has tested $500 animals over a
two-year period. other coop

Retirement to many people Is
like being shackled to ball anc
chain.
This shows up in my letters.
Part of the reason for the feel
ing results from the drop in in
come older people must take
when they retire. But, that's
by.n means the whole story.
Many retired people are I'M
happy because they can't fee
useful any longer. They have q
deep sense of loneliness coupled
with a feeling of being rejected
by the people around them.
OF course, there's no ready OF
easy answer for older people with
such problems.
However, the cause of the
problems is obvious: America has
changed from a rural to an ur-
ban society.
Change in Pattern
There are no longer many
family homesteads where the old
folks can live happily with their
sons or daughters and keep busy
with chores that replace their
regular Jobs. Now it's q rare &C.
casion when the children don't
break away from their parents
early and permanently.
Few things have grown up in
our present day society to re-
place the "old homestead" ar
rangement which gave the old
folks a feeling Of belonging
They've been left to search by
themselves for something to re-
place it. Few seem TO have found
It.
Yet, their needs are much the
same as younger people. Besides
life's necessities-food. shelter
clothing-the need to be useful,
whether with their family or in
the world outside their family.
They need and want to be active,
to keep their body and mind
from whitening.
In the past few years. organi-
cations in some cities have
sprung up to try TO give retired
folks a life. Many are very sue
cessful and may be a partial an
