The great cloud hung like an
exclamation point over Manu-.

No task force officer or physi-

that any B-52-the fastest and
longest-ranged of United States
jet bombers-could carry and
drop similar H-bomb weapon
on any chosen target.

The B-52 Stratofortress. eight

plunging down into the predawn

Dr.. Eliel's group is trying al least

simultaneously.
Each Works in Different Way

Justices Back
Rail Union Shop
Favored Over State
Riqht-to-Work Law

The Supreme Court held unan-
imously today that Federal laws

Icede State "right-to-work" stat
Iutes prohibiting such arrange
lments between labor unions and
employers.
The opinion delivered by JUS
tice Douglas dealt specifically
with the 1851 amendment to the
Federal Railway Labor Act per-
hitting unions and railroads to
make agreements requiring
workers to join unions after be-
ing hired.
The decision reversed a Ne
braska Supreme Court ruling
that the Union Pacific Railroad
and the railway workers unions
could not enforce a contract re-
Iquiring employees to become union
members in order to hold their
Jobs.
Doesn't Void State Laws
The opinion today did not
strike down State "right-to-
work" laws such as the Nebraska
statute which specifically bans
union shop arrangements as a
requisite for keeping a job.
In the absence of conflicting
Federal legislation" Justice
Douglas declared, there can be
no doubt that is is within the
police power of a State to pro-
hibit the union or the closed
shop. But the power of
Congress to regulate labor re-
lations in interstate industries
is likewise well established. Con-
gress has authority to adopt all
appropriate measures to facili-
tate the amicaple settlement OF
disputes which threaten the
service of the necessary agencies
of interstate transportation"
Choice Up to Congress

vide measures to encourage the

But the question is one D
policy with which the iudiciar!

The opinion held specifically
that the Railway Labor Act pro.

trary to either the Fifth Amend,

however. emphasized that tn,

directly with the circumstance
of the dispute involving the re,

Rejects
New Farm Bill
Measure Now Goes
To Conference
BY JOSEPH A. FOX

The House today rejected the
new farm bill passed by the
Senate Friday night and sent
the measure to conference,
Representative Poage, Demo-
crat of Texas, moved 10 send
the measure to a joint House
Senate committee to iron out
differences with the measure
passed earlier by the House. He
said the conferees would meet
this afternoon and expressed
hope the bill would return to
the floor tomorrow.
Representative Martin of Mas
sachusetts, House Republican
leader, wanted to know if the
House could not accept the
Senate measure. saying it seemed
to be pretty good one but Rep
resentative Poage held out for
the conference and the House
upheld him.
House COnferees Named
The House conferees are

man of the House Agriculture
Committee; Mr.. Poage, Repre-
sentative Grant, Democrat OF
Alabama, and two Republicans,
Hope of Kansas and Andersen
of Minnesota. Senate conferees
are expected to be named al
once.
Senate leaders had been hope
full of avoiding a conference
because of the possibility that
1t might cause new delay.
Mr.. Cooley said that he hoped
the legislation could go to the
President before the end of the
week, and that he "can see fit tc
sign it."

Basic Differences
Representative Poage listed as
basic differences" between
House and Senate versions. the
Senate omission of a House pro-
vision spelling out congressional
intent for getting the ST.
billion crop-reducting soil bank
program in operation this year
and Senate approval of the cut
rate sale of 100 million bushels
lof surplus wheat annually a.

l The House specifically pro.
lvided that soil bank payments
start this year. The Senate bill

culture Benson may start opera
tions this year only to the extent
The deems practicable.
Mr.. Poage called the Senate
language a political gimmick
which would allow the admins
tration to channel soil bank
funds to doubtful districts
where the Republicans need
votes in November.
No Advance Payments
Both Senate and House turned
down an advance-payment plar
proposed by the administration
for soil bank participants con-
tracing to cut down production
after this year. The administra-
ton has argued that it is too late
to make the program entirely
effective for this years crops.
The Senate provision for SELL
ing surplus wheat as livestock
feed has been rejected by the
House Agriculture Committee
three times.
The small feed grain provisions
Of the Senate bill also could
cause trouble in the House. Bow
ing to administration wishes. the
Senate cut support prices below
the level fixed in the House bill
and also eliminated acreage re-
strictions on rye. oats, barley
and grain sorehums.

Does Absolutely
Nothing But II
Actually Worked

It can't possibly do you any
good. 1t can't do you any harm
either. It's a pill made of milk
sugar, a capsule of starch, or a
shot of salt water. No miracle
drugs, no medicinal value at all.
But it works! The pain is eased.
The symptoms disappear.
This is the placebo-pronounced
pla-see-bo. It's only purpose is to
make people think they are getting
medicine. The patient gets better.
In recent experiment placebos
proved just about as effective as
morphine in easing the severe
pains following surgical opera
tionS.
In the old days, placebos were
the refuge of the doctor who had
pitifully few really effective medi-
cines and diagnostic tests. Many
families swore by his pink pills
pills whose only virtue was that
they did no harm. AS time went on
and medicine advanced, the place
bo was used chiefly in research. To
test the power of a new drug, half
a group would get the real medi-
cine, half received the placebo. The
difference in results was a meas
ure of the drugs effectiveness. But
scientists began to find high rates
of cure" with placeboS. They
proved effective against headach-
es, seasickness, cough, even the Sc
we're suffering of angina pectoris.
This does not mean that all the
ills apparently cured by place
bos are imaginary. But it is known
that mental attitude and sugges-
ton have much to do with causing
and curing sickness. If we conf
IDENTIFY expect medication to make
us feel better, it often will do so.
Don't feel gypped if you find
your doctor prescribed placebo
for your illness. 1t may well give
you feeling of temporary relief.
But perhaps even more important,
it helps the doctor find out more
about you and your illness.
OF course, the patient has to be
unaware of this effort to help him
psychologically rather than medi-
cally. But there is every evidence
that the placebo often has the
amazing effect of improving our
mental attitude and thus our phys
ical health.

First Seals Sold
Through Help Of
US. Newspapers

You won't see it hanging on
your tree. You will see it as you
look around at the happy, flushed
faces of your children on Christ
mas morning. It's the precious
glow of health.
Many thousands of people have
contributed to that gift of health.
I'd like to tell you about one of
the people of the past whose gift
to you goes on giving year after
year.
Miss Emily Bissell was a Red
Cross worker in Wilmington, Del
aware, in the early part of the
century. A group of doctors came
to her with problem. She was
that kind of person. They had a
small hospital where they were
treating a few tuberculosis pa
tients with the then new methods
of rest and fresh air. 1t was little
more than a shack, but even that
cost money. And their money had
run out. They would have to send
the patients home, probably to
die, if they couldn't get help.
Emily Bissell had an idea. She
had read of special stamp sold
in Denmark to raise money for
poor, sick children So, she de-
signed her own stamps, Christmas
Seals that would not carry mail
but would carry the message that
tuberculosis could be defeated.
With the help of a few volunteers
she began to sell her Seals for a
penny apiece. Sales were slow un-
til she went to a great American
newspaper for help. The Christ
mas Seal idea fired the imagina-
ton of columnist Leigh Mitchell
Hodges, and he persuaded the
Philadelphia NORTH AMERICAN
to give the campaign its full sup
port.
Miss Bissell and the doctors
hoped to raise $500, but $1,000
came in in pennies, nickels,

1t was the general opinion that

Fairfield played without the serv-
ice of two of their starters. West

vantage of taller players, and
they were just playing good ball.

Clark County To
Sell Part OF The
Child Home Land

SPRINGFIELD, OHIO, - Sale
of 108 acres off the Clark County
Childrens Home property was de-
cided by county commissioners.
However, Commissioner M. f.
Snodgrass emphasized that this
sale did not represent elimination
of the children's home as a county
welfare agency.
Commissioners said they will re-
tain 80 acres at least for gardens,
Fairgrounds and a modernization
program for the home.
Sale of the 108 acres will be
used to finance the modernization
and new construction program
which has been made mandatory
by orders of the state fire marsh
all and State Health Department.
Other factors contributing to the
decision to sell, commissioners
said, were recommendation of the
Child Welfare Board, the lack of
profit the home farm has shown
in recent years, Incorporation of
home land into the city of Spring
field with consequent imposition of
municipal health regulations in the
farm work, and the lack of profit
in processing milk for home con-
sumption.
Commissioners also decided to
sell 21.41 acres of Clark County
Sanatorium farm land on recon-
mendation of the institutions trus-
tees.

knowledge OF All
Winter Driving
Is Safety Help

when it comes to winter driv-
ing, knowledge is power - and
safety, too, says Russell II. Camp
bell of the Columbus Automobile
Club.
Knowing what's ahead is never
more important for motorists than
in the months just ahead. Weather
and highway conditions change
quickly, and they often vary great
ly even from mile to mile. Know
ledge of those conditions may
bring a decisive answer to the old
wartime questions, rs this trip
rally necessary ?"
For an automobile club member,
any AAA office is ready and de-
pendable source of information on
changing highway and weather
conditions, says the local leader,
adding that most clubs are in
daily communication with other
such offices for many miles in all
directions. Information is thus ex-
changed among the clubs, for the
benefit of all AAA club members
travelling in the area"
Motorists not belonging to auto
mobile clubs often can get this
kind of information from service
stations, law enforcement officers
and other such agencies along the
way.
However it comes, knowing
what's ahead and being prepared
for it will be the margin of safety
for many motorists through the
next few months" the local AAA
official asserts

dimes, and dollars. Even more i'm
portant was the recognition that
the Christmas Seal idea could be
used to fight TB throughout the
nation. Today Christmas Seals are
sold by 5000 voluntary associa-
tions in every community in the
United States an its territories.
They support a program of re-
search, case finding, rehabilitation,
and health education to help pro-
tect your family from tubercu-
losiS.
This was Emily Bissells gift to
you and all of us. When we buy
Christmas Seals, we, too, are
