ly. There are IA Republicans
and 10 Democrats.
Four of the Democrats are
from North Carolina, and three
of these lost out in primary
races. The losers are Repre-
sentatiyes r. Ertel Carlyle,
Thurmond Chatham and
Charles B. Deane.
Mr.. Carlyle, SO, who is COM
plotting his fourth term in the
House, lost to former Sen.
Alton A. Lennon by close to
10000 votes. A solicitor (com-
parable to district attorney
for 10 years before coming to
Congress, he is expected to re-
sumo private law practice. He
and his wife planned to re-
turn home this week.
Mr.. Chatham. SO, another
four-termer, probably owes his
primary defeat to his refusal
to sign the Southern manifesto,
a document sharply criticizing
the Supreme Court school anti
segregation decision. The Rep
resentative, heir to his family's
prosperous wooden mills, has
said that if he had it all to
do over again he still would re-
fuse to sign the manifesto.
Mr.. Chatham and his wife, who
are now mentioning in Norway,
will continue to live here in
Washington, in their historic
Georgetown home, Prospect
House. There, his Office said,
Mr.. Chatham will continue to
devote his time to world peace
as he did as a member of the
House Foreign Affairs Com
mittee." The Chathams have
a four-year-old son, Walter.

Mr.. Deane, who also refused
to sign the Southern mani
feSto, is a five-term Congress
sional veteran. Before that he
worked in the Labor Depart

The other Democrats leaving
the House are:

who is running for Governor
of West Virginia. A two term
House member, Mr.. Mollohan

West Virginia Senator Mat

FAMOUS FABLES

KEY: Tenor Enrico CaruSo
lived in constant worry about
his voice. All day long, no mat
ter where he was, he would
repeatedly give out with a mi,
mi" to see if his vocal chords
were all right.
One evening he called on a
lady friend to take her to a
dinner party. While he was
waiting for her he went through
his vocal calisthentics, as usual.
The results were disastrous. He
was way off key.
A few moments later the lady
swept breathlessly into the
room.
How do you like my new
dress, Enrico?" she cried, twirl-
ing herself about. Isn't it a
dream?"
Caruso was too troubled to
notice.
How can you talk of dresses
at a time like this" he exploded,
when my mi mi sounds like
moo, moo'?"
EXPERIMENTS: Benz amin
Franklin'S early tinkering with
electricity made him the butt
of many jokes. Few could grasp
what it was that he hoped to
accomplish.

kite experiment to a friend.

Their work, DR.. Popkin added,

They should take no long auto

lower legs pointing directly
downward. During the day the

rocks. For some reason these
patches of froth remain intact
with all the wreckage they have
drawn into themselves. as they
come into the larger and less
tumultuous river. They follow
one after another with the main
current down the middle of the
Baudo in what seems like q
semiorderly procession. In day
light the froth patches are q
dirty yellow, for much mud and
sand has been churned from the
stream bottoms. They have nc
easily discernible shapes.
Night in the jungle comes sud-
denly and early. This happens
to be an extraordinary night in
the Choco-rainlesS and with q
faint starlight. The mist rises
and covers the landscape, and
there is a magic transformation
The foam masses change from
yellow to ghostly white. They
take on the shapes Of ships. The
nearly upright uprooted trees
riding in the middle of the froth
become masts. Broken sheets of
mist become tattered sails.
The phenomenon can be wit
messed once or twice a month
during the rainy season, the sail
orS say. Most nights are ink
dark and a little light is required
for the magic.
Peril to Landing Craft
The landing craft is tied up
for the night in a little embay-
ment of the river. There is
nothing to worry about now as
long as the ghost armada sticks
to its destined course, down the
middle of the river. Some of
the froth ships, however, are
quite cratic. The currents of
the Baudo this near the noun
tains are quite strong. A heavy
foam-enclosed log smashing into
the landing craft could damage
seriously the steering apparatus,
might even knock out an en-
CINE. and force a delay of several
days.
There are several such crashes
during the night, the sound of
each impact alarmingly loud. At
one time a lot of work is required
to get rid of log which has
gotten tangled under the boats
bow. Fortunately, none of the
impacts are hard enough to do
much damage. With the dawn
the magic spell is lifted. The
phantom armada revertS to a
line of prosaic, debris-fllled

How to
STOP KILLING
YOURSELF
Auto Is Greatest Killer
By DR.. PETER J. sTEINcRoHN

During the Korean war only
half of the hoSpitalized casual
ties were the result of enemy
action. During this same conflict
more Americans were killed in
the United States in automobile
accidents than were killed in the
war"
The foregoing was written by
Col. Don S. Wenger, u. S. A. F.,
in the Journal of the American
Medical Association.
Col. Wenger continues: 1.-The
automobile is the military estab-
liShment'S and the Nations
greatest killer. An American is
injured every "a seconds and
one is killed every IA minutes in
a traffic accident"
AS I see it. and the subject is
too important to be facetious
about, we did our sons a dis
service by getting them out of
the trenches and into automo-
bileS. We took them from the
relative safety Of bombs and
bayonetS and set them down in
the front line danger Of tires
and brakes and accelerators.
Ways 10 Curb Injuries
The car is a killer: long sta
tistical columns of the dead verify
that. Knowing that you are as
anxious to stay alive as I am. I
am sure that you. too, will be
interested in this excellent sum-
mary by Col. Wenger:
Injuries usually result from
specific causes. Remedies may
be Just as specific and simple.
Reduce the high peaks Of de-
celeratlve forces. enlarge the
area that absorbs these forces.
and restrain the occupants of
automobiles so that they do not
fly around within or outside the
car and a majority of the fatal
tiles and injuries would never
occur.
Possible mechanisms to obtain
these results are safety belts.

veins and produce serious con-
sequences, sometimes death. But
the great majority have only a
disabling or painful affection,
and it can be treated by medical
means and a few changes in the
routine Of living, said DR.. Roy
j. Popkin of Cedars of Lebanon
Hospital.
DR.. Popkin, who reported to
the California Medical AsSocia-
ton, said treatment consists
principally of reducing the
swelling by conventional medical
means and of rearranging the
life of the patient to keep his
feet off the ground.
Shouldn't bangle Legs
People with this trouble should
not dangle their legs. DR.. Popkin
said. They should sleep with
