There are several ways to combat the

a combination of drugs, one which dlates
the small CONSTRUCTED blood vessels in the

This drug gives relief from the tension

How Our Brains Work
Each child possesses hundreds OF
thousands of living cells. Some are
press,re-sensing cells: others are
seeing. tasting. and smelling cells.
All of these have private tele-
phone lines to the brain, which
automatically transmit messages by
the dial system" to the right
switchboard. which in turn makes
the permanent record.
l believe that children could be-
come tremendously interested in
their brains. and that this interest
could add a hundred per cent to
their educational results. Children
are always interested in animals.
When it is shown them that moths
have smelling powers to find their
mates several miles away: that the
instinct switchboard in the heads of
dogs enables them to find their way
home and hunt out criminals; and
that the robin on the lawn has far
better eyesizht than We have, chill

Where Can A Negro Live" is a
series of stories published in The
Hartford. Conn, Courant in recent

umns will be devoted to excerpts
from the series. The first excerpt
follows:
lone Of Hartford's largest build
ers laughed when he was, asked
whether he would sell any of his
new houses to a Negro, He laughed
with reason. for the question was a
naive one
Negroes cannot purchase any Of
the builders houses. nor would a
real estate broker sell an older
house to Negro Even should a
Negro find himself in fortunate cir
cumstances after contriving way
to bypass or hurdle the first two
barriers, his chances OF obtaining
conventional financing from Hart
ford's lending institutions are mix
ed. This is the Hartford story.
Although Hartford is not alone
among Northern cities in these re-
spects. it is still true that discrim-

Letters to Nixon
lBlust Stussen
b. the Assoclated Press

Aides to Vice President Nixon
said today he has received more
than 5000" letters and kilograms
opposing Harold E. Stassen's
dump-Nixon drive.
Exactly 80 messages have beer
received saying that Mr.. StasSen
is right, they added.
The communications ranged in
tone from ITO hell with Stassen'
to a Kentuckian's advice to Mr.
Nixon to please take the hint
that you are unpopular-retire. >
Staff members said the letters
started arriving in large guam
titles after Stassen launched his
campaign to replace Nixon with
Massachusetts, Gov. Christian A
Herter. They said the volume has
now dwindled to maybe a few
hundred" a day.
Mr.. Nixon authorized report
ers to examine the letters and to
quote from them. But he insist
ed that none of the writer's
names be published because he
has had no chance to ask them
to permit the use of their names
A secretary said all of the
messages agreeing with Mr.
lStassen were in a single pile or
a table in Mr.. Nixon's Office
Reporters counted 80 in this pile
Some of them were copies Of
letters to Mr.. Stassen. Others
addressed to Mr.. Nixon urged
him to withdraw.

Imanship of the convention after
lit opens on Monday told a group
Iof Western G. o. p. chairinen
that in his judgment "the team
of Dwight Eisenhower and Dick
Nixon will be reelected this

He warned, however: 1.-THE one
thing we must not do in 1856 is
what some of us remember so
Ivividly from 1948-we must not
take this election for granted"
The Senator urged his audi
ence to work vigorously at all
party levels throughout the
campaign.

declared. But believe the elec-

and television alone.

From The Stars Convention Bureau

From The Stars Convention Bureau
CHICAGO. Aug. 16.-The Dis
trict Delegation today was elated
over the final wording of the
Home Rule plank of the Demo-
cratic platform.
The plank called for "imme-
diate home rule and ultimate
national representation"
The tentative wording of the
Home Rule plank had asked for
immediate home rule and ma
tional representation" putting
the two reforms on an equal
basis.
The District representatives
on the Platform Committee, Mrs.
Polly Shackleton and Belford
Lawson. had protested the ex-
Iclusion of the word ultimate"
on the grounds that immediate
home rule is the more urgent
goal.

Hall Criticizes
Compromise
On Civil Rights

STAR CONVEN TON BU-
REAU, SAN FRANCISCO, Aug.
16.-Republican Party Chairman
Leonard w. Hall said today that,
in contrast to the insincerity of
the Democrats, Our party has
always been specific on civil
rights"
I'VE have never hedged a bit
on that question" Mr.. Hall told a
press conference. ITO us there
is no question that the Supreme
Court decisio mis- the law of the
land"
Commenting on the civil rights
plank which the Democrats
adopted in Chicago last night,
the Republican Party chief said !:
Stall Far Apart
"The bridge they tried to build
between the two wings of their
party on civil rights is nothing
more than a spider webb. The
liberals don't like it. Stevenson
had to take it. They're still as
far apart as the poles on civil
rights"
He said that both Democratic
administrations of Presidents
Roosevelt and Truman talked
loud and did nothing" about civil
rights.
Mr.. Halls general comment
about the Democratic Conven-
ton SO far is that it is too much
blue sky and will not have any
effect on the voters"
Mr.. Hall said the Democrat
keynote speech delivered Mon
day night by Gov. Clement OF
Tennessee is a shining exam
pie of what the Democrats will
do and say to win"
Speech sDemagOguic'
He called the speech lone OF
the best delivered demagogueic
keynote speeches in political his
tory"
He said it was filled with
"half-truths, distortions and out
right falsehoods."
Mr.. Hall said that in adopting
their platform the Democrats
apparently go on the basis that
they can promise everything and
anything to everybody"

to what Mr.. Truman has been
Saying.
II think if Mr.. Stevenson is
nominated by the Democratic
Party. the party might as well
send over to Eisenhower a certif-
icate Of election and admit that
he is in by default"
Why Waste My Time
In the circumstances, Mr.
Lewis said he could see no valid
reason at this date "why
should waste my time promoting
Mr.. Stevenson's candidacy in the
event he becomes the nominee.
He added Mr.. Stevenson was q
defeated candidate and he saw
no reason why Mr.. Eisenhower
shouldn't win as easily as he
did before.
When it was pointed out that
Mr.. Truman at least had said he
would support Mr.. Stevenson il
he wins here, Mr.. Lewis pointed
out that no doubt the former
President had his own reasons
| for that.
"You understand, John L.
broke in Mr.. Truman with q
smile. that I am speaking as q
Democrat. and an organization
Democrat naturally, and 1 will
stay with the party. You DOM
have to do that"
| Remark Unexplained
Personally" Mr.. Lewis said
IT can speak in my capacity as
a member of the Joseph A.
Holmes Safety Association" He
did not explain his remark.
II am like a lot of Americans
who would perfunctorily cast
their votes with no hope of win
ming" was the reply.
Mr.. Lewis always had voted
Republican until he switched to
former President Roosevelt in
1896 and tossed 100000 into the
campaign. In 1910 he switched
to Wendell Willkie. He took no
active part in the campaign OF
1914.
