FAMOUS GABLES
BY E. z. EDGAR

PAYMENT: Some years ago
the late Albert Einstein agreed
to write a book for laymen about
his Theory of Relatively. When
he submitted the manuscript to
his publisher, the latter saw that
it was too complex for the aver
age reader to comprehend.
However, since the manuscript
had been written in Eistein S
own hand. the publisher paid
him $4,000 for it. Einstein
looked at the check for a long
time, without saying anything.

the publisher.
Il was Just wondering" re-
piled Einstein, why I should be
paid more for writing what no
one will read than I would have
received had the book reached
a large audience"
CONTRACT: Playwrig h t
Ferenc Molnar was a man who
cherished his independence. Be-
fore one of his marriages, he in
sisted upon a pre-nuptial con-
tract which stipulated that he
was under no obligation to
change his mode of living.
The wedding dinner was held
in the brides home. To her en-
barrassment and the guests be-
wilderment. Molnar arrived late
and left soon after, informing
her that he had an appointment
to play cards.
When she protested. he re-
minded her of the contract.
That was enough for Mrs. Mol
mar. The contract was not
broken, but the marriage was.

and in bold-face type" some such
statement as:
"Warning-Keep Out OF The
Reach of Children"
! No Suggested Dosage
| In addition, no specific dosage
recommendations for children
under 3 will be allowed. Instead,
the aspirin label will have to
contain something Of this order:
For children under years Of
age, consult your physician"
There are. of course, two main
reasons for this. One is that
youngsters have. apparently in
increasing numbers, been poking
into the family medicine chest
and swallowing large amounts
of aspirin with severe or fatal
results. The other is that some
parents have been almost as
prone to stuff aspirin into their
small fry as orange juice-also
with occasional unhappy results.
The net effect has been sit
uation that has led some to label
aspirin as one of the Nations
foremost child-killers.
Last year, the Food and Drug
Administration met with a spe-
cial medical advisory panel on
the problem and subsequently
came out with the order.
Fatality Warning
Because salicylate prepara-
tons enjoy widespread use as
analgesics pain killer and such
articles are ordinarily not toxic
in the amounts required for pro-
ducing an analgesic action, they
are frequently regarded by the
public as harmless" Food and
Drug officials pointed out. They
added that 'salicylates are cap
able of causing injury and even
death when consumed in excess
sive quantities"
Manufacturers failing to COM
ply with the order may be en-

lar product on the market andior

Dear DIR. SteincrOhn: I have
read your column on how resent
ment can make people sick. You
mentioned how it produces and
aggravateS ulcer, high blood
pressure and other conditions.
But there was one thing you
left out. You didn't say what
effect resentment has on inno-
cent people who happen to be
in the way of it.
Take my husband, for ex-
ample. He reSents me and hates
me and I can't figure it out. I
have been married for SO years
and can't remember him taking
me out in all that time-like
other husbands do for their
wives. After my son was born
my husband was so cruel to me
that I had a nervous breakdown.
Years later when the boy was
in his teens my son had an OPP

his head was still bandaged my
husband struck him on the head.
My husband doesn't drink-he
did it, I'm sure, just to tantalize
me.

When the plank was made

limited there might be con-
ference of Southern delegates
who think the plank is toe
strong. But it has not material
lied, because they are appar-
emily convinced this plank is as
good as they can hope for.
In 1852, before the Supreme
Court had outlawed segregated
schools, the Republican civil
rights plank had a distinct
IStates-rights flavor. 1t recog-
nized 1.-THE primary responsibility
Iof each State to order and con-
Itrol its own domestic institutions
and this power, reserved to the
States, is essential to the main
Itenance of our Federal republic. u
i This language does not appear
in the 1856 plank. But the ref
ference this year to racial pat
lterns in certain sections which
developed under prior and long
standing decisions of the Su-
Ipreme Court, was a recognition
lof the Southern argument that
the court for many years upheld
the doctrine of separate but
equal school facilities for white
and colored.
The Republican platform this
year supports the Eisenhower
civil rights bill. which died in
the Senate after passing the
House at the last session. 1t
sought to strengthen the Civil
Rights Division of the Depart
ment of Justice. and to make
civil court procedures available
to insure voting and other rights
