The President:
A Moratorium

President Eisenhower on Wednes-
day declared a moratorium on
White House news conference ques-
tons about his health and his Vice
Presidents candidacy.
Asked for an elaboration of his
previous remarks about Harold
Stassen's campaign to sack Vice
President Nixon, the President
bluntly answered.:
If didn't make myself clear on
the subject you mentioned. and on
my health, am never going to be
able to do it, and those subjects
don't intend to discuss again. :.
Sometime later this year, but GER
tainly before the election, I will
have another complete examina-
ton, and to determine that there
has been no change in my situa-
ton, and / said. believe l said it
this way: If at any time have any
reason to believe that 1 am not fit.
as I believe myself to be nov,
will come before the American pub
lie and tell them"
Mr. Eisenhower later said that
he plans to take three or four day
rest after the Republican conven-
ton at a swanky club on Califor-
MAS coast which has a golf course
known as one Of the toughest in the
world.

$3.50 ton, the largest rise since
the end of World War II.
The $3.50 figure was announced
last week by United States Steel
Corp. the Nations largest producer
and the price pace-setter. The in
crease was somewhat lower than
had been expected, but u. S. Steel.
IN citing the initial" higher costs
OF labor, gave hint that there may
be new increases as the benefits to
workers expand automatically under
the new contract over the next
three years.
The higher steel naturally means
higher cost to consumers of every
steel item from nails to bridge
beams.
In his Wednesday news confer
ence President Eisenhower was
asked If he thought the increase
would "jeopardize" his administla-
tons efforts to stabilize the dollar.
The President said he thought
"ieopardize" might be word a lit
tie too strong, but that "it is GER
tainly one of the things that holds
up danger sign. and we watch it
very closely every day"

OTTAWA.-With American cities
being ringed by batteries of Nike,
the United States Army's super
sonic antiaircraft guided missile,
the Canadian government has de-
cided against adopting this weapon
because 1.-The Nike would not be of
much assistance to us here"
The quoted words were spoken by
C. D. Howe, Minister of Defense Pro-
duction, and constitute the govern
ment's only explanation of why
cities like Toronto and Montreal are
not being protected by Nike de-
lenses like New York. Philadelphia,
Washington, Boston and other
American cities.
There is no question Of the avail
ability of the ground-to-a missile.
Canada already is adopting another
United States missile, the air-to-
air Sparrow II. and could have Nike
as we'll if it wished. Canadian
troops have fired Nike at American
bases. and have subjected it to cold
weather firing tests at their own
sub-Arctic base at Fort Churchill.
on Hudson Bay. But according to
Mr.. Howe, Canadian military opin-
ion ruled out Nike for Canadian use.
Official sources report that there
are three main reasons for this de-
cision. One is the controversy be-
tween the United States Army and
the United States Air Force over
Mixes value. The American Army,
which developed Nike, asserts that
it is an excellent weapon. The Air
Force contends that Mixes range
is SO short that the H-bombs from
planes it hit would still explode
close enough to their targets to be
effective. And Nike would be use
less against the intercontinental
ballistic missile.
Another reason is that even
Toronto and Montreal, the two
largest Canadian cities. would be
secondary targets for Russian
planes. If the enemy penetrated
the Canadian-Am American intercept
tor defenses based on the three
Northern radar lines, he would
likely attempt to reach targets in
the United States, bypassing Cana
dian cities.
A third reason is the heavy cost
of a weapon which may soon be
obsolete. Each Nike installation
costs about SIS million, and large

gates crowding his little band
wagon had increased by nine tout
of a total of 1929. The Repub-
lican Party's brighter lights were
focused in another direction, or
were merely waiting to see what
happens.
New York Attorney General
Jacob JavitS, who last spring said
that he, lin company with lot of
other Republicans. had "reserva-
tons" about Mr.. Nixon's candidacy,
told The Sunday Star last week
that he believed the convention
should take its cue from Ike" on
the matter of selecting a No. 2
candidate Unlike nearly all other
top Republicans, he SHE'D away
from an Endorsement of Mr.. Nixon,
but indicated that if the President
makes it plain that he wants Mr..
Nixon and no one else, the party
should go along with him. Mr..
Stassen refused to say whether he
had been in contact with Mr.. Javits.
Another well-known Republican
who has kept his name of eulogies
to the Vice President is Maryland
Gov. Theodore McKeldin. He has
discussed the Nixon candidacy with
Mr.. StaSsep at least twice in the
past few days. Gov. McKeldin, who
placed Mr.. Eisenhower's name in
nomination in 1852. originally re-
jected Mr. Stassen's invitation to
join his Herter campaign. but it
was evident at the time that he
was not in complete agreement
with @. o. p. Chairman Leonard
Halls conviction that Mr.. Eisen-
hover wants Mr. Nixon and no one
else. The Governor said that when

How Do Shots Help?
Just how these shots work is

booklet on hay fever published by
the American Foundation for AL

One thing that is practicable

Kansas farmers might not agree
now with Mr.. Halls many state
ments over the past year charging
that his own party had not kept
its 1852 campaign pledges to the
farmers.
All last spring, the youthful Gov
ernor added fuel to Democratic
charges that the Midwest farmer
was being plowed under by G.. o. P.
farm policy. But last week, Kansas
farmers, who also did not cotton
to the Governors stand against a
"right-to-work" law, plowed under
Mr. Hall.
Actually. the outline of Midwest
revolt began to blur in May. when
Iowas Senator Bourke B. Hicken-
topper. who had supported Mr.. Eli
Senhower's farm program, won re-
nomination hands down.
Since springtime, Republicans
have been able to point with pride
and a steadier hand-to rising farm
prices, which they regarded as in
dicative not only Of the success of
their program, but also of the total
absence of fury on the farms.
But the farm issue may be a
sleeper. as it has been in previous
elections. High farm prices in July
do not always mean agricultural
prosperity in the voting month of
November. For instance. while hog
prices have climbed from a range
of $40 hundred pounds to $3.50
since winter, the reason could easily
be a difference in the volume mar
keted. In the week ended July 81,
only 292,046 hogs went to market.
compared with 490,310 in the week
November 6-l3 last year. Some
farm observers are confident that
when the heavy movement of live
stock to market begins in mid
October this year. prices will again
tumble, and that 1t will be the level
of these prices that determines the
direction Of the farm vote on No
vember 6.
At any rate. hog prices still have
a long road TO go before they can
recover the drop Of "a per cent in
average prices since July, 1852.

The question Of missiles is a

government. With an election COM

but it wouldn't fly far enough to be
effective against newer Soviet
bombers. So the program has been
abandoned, and Canada is prepar-
ing to produce the Sparrow, de-
veloped by the United States Navy.

completely from the missile-de.

acknowledge that the United States

There are critics who say Cana

instead of producing its own long
range interceptor it should manu-
facture United States-designed jets
for the RCAF. However, this ar
gument ignores the fact that Cana

trained personnel for aircraft de-

this allergist began shooting" me
with the substances, I can for the
first time live normally in the sum-
mer.
The shots may have to be con-
tinued for as long as Is years before
permanent relief is obtained, but
that is small price.
Victory over allergy must be re-
won each day in the summer. Be-
sides the shots, an allergy sufferer
must take antihistamines daily to
prevent more than an occasional
blowing OF the nose. He must avoid
foods to which he is strongly al
lergic. He must sleep in a room
scrupulously clean of dust.
He must avoid fatigue, worry or
strong emotions. He must not sit
in unusually cold drafts or plunge
into icy lakes. He must get plenty
OF rest and moderate amount
of exercise.
He must not go to areas where
multitudes of flowers are in bloom
or where grain is being harvested.
He must constantly be on the look
out and flee from such plants as
poison ivy and poison oak, which
can cause skin bliSters even when
not actually touched.
Last year. the United States Pub
lie Health Service estimated that
about Is million work days are lost
each year as a result of allergy.
This loss to the Nation and to the
victims can be reduced sharply.
Now that science is turning its
guns on allergy, the illness may
eventually be eliminated as
scourge of mankind.

The hay fever season is here. It's
a time of runny noses, watery eyes
and wheezy breathing for millions
OF Americans.
Relief is not easy to obtain,
because allergy-which is what hay

relief is possible.

Hay fever was considered by al

knew better.
When I was II, I paid my first
visit to an allergist. He offered me
a $3.50 chance of relief and began
at once to test me for sensitivity to
various substances found in the
summer air. Minute particles of
the suspected trouble-makers were
placed in shallow scratches on both
arms. In 20 minutes, some of the
scratches turned red.

Justice Decides to Drop
Horwott Citizenship Case

Conventions in New York in 1929
and 1880.
Mr.. Zygmont told the court he
first met Mr.. Horwatt in the fall of
1881 at a Communist group meet
ing. and listed other specific occa-
sions when he said he recalled see
ing the defendant at Red gather
ings.
Doubt Remains
Here is what Judge Bryan had to
say of their testimony:
Both of these witnesses were
rowing agents of the party con-
stantly mingling with groups and
assemblies of people, and daily deal
ing with large numbers of persons,
collectively and effectively. There
was nothing to mark Horwitz (Hor-
Watt among them. Hence,
aside from its impairment by cross
examination but because of the
lapse of time alone-nearly a quar-
ter of a century-their recollection
OF him, when fatty denied by Hor-
WITT, is hardly evidence which does
not leave the issue in doubt The
court cannot find he was a party
member in the critical years, 1880
and 1881"
Judge Bryan then went into the
broader aspects of the case because
the Government had produced evil
dence about Mr.. Horwatt'S activ-
tiles after he became a naturalized
citizen. This evidence included tes-
tlmony he gave before a House
Committee on immigration and
Naturalization in 1882, indicating
that he then was unwilling to bear
arms against the Soviet Union.
Judge Bryan said these statements
by Horwatt were mot so clear and
definite as to commit him to that
stand, especially when we know his
difficulty with the English langu-
age"
Also offered as evidence of Com
munist activity after Mr.. Horwatt's
naturalization was sworn state
ment given the immigration and
Naturalization service in 1854 adj
hitting that he rejoined the Com
muniSt Party in 1882 or 1893 and
remained member until 1898. On
this point Judge Bryan said the
change was mot as discriminating
as it seems ex facie." He indicated
that economic rather than ideo-
logical reasons prompted Mr.. Hor-
watts return to the party.
Then Judge Bryan toppled the
whole Government case with this
final sweep.
But, in all events. decisive Of this
case is this. that Notwithstanding
any affiliatlon of Horwitz with the
Communist Party, either before or
after his naturalization, the court
does not find and feel in the evil
dence conviction that Horwitz
ever comprehended the reality that
one OF the party's aims was the
overthrow OF the United States Gov
eminent. He never professed or
otherwise evlnced a knowledge OF
any utilization Of Horwatts with the
any such party tenet. The court
is not persuaded that Horwatts ever
comprised or imagined the over
throw OF the United States of
America.
Judge Bryan said the courts con-
illusions were strengthened by the
defendants conduct for the last is
years.
While the decision might help
some immigrants who got taken in
by the Red line years ago. 1t won't
be any comfort to contemporary
members. In 1850. the Internal Sc
curity Act was adopted barring nat
uralization OF persons who belonged
to the party az any time during 10
preceding years. That gives the

This much seems true: Allergy-
prone persons come down with more
severe cases when emotionally dis
turbed.
Just Keep Colin
Learning to keep calm under
stress was the first big step toward
learning to live with my allergy.
The second came with the develop
ment of antihistamine drugs in the
mid-1940s.
Antihistamines do not cure al
leroy, but they do ease some of its
symptoms-swollen throat, burning
and watery eyes, dizziness, pains
and discomfort. For me, they also
prevent all but the mildest of
asthma.
Not everyone will find antihista-
mines that effective. but most al
leroy victims will get some relief.
In 1854. 1 took my case to an
allergist who insisted on learning
the history of my trouble. Then he
began testing me for many times

first doctor had done.

reported that l was sensitive to %

Amendment.
The South, dismayed and shocked
by the decision of the United States
Supreme Court outlawing racial
segregation in the public schools,
has cast about for a practicable
"out" to the immediate challenge
to Southern institutions.
Thus far no easy way has been
found. The court decision was plain
and unequivocal. Race was not to
be a valid reason for denying any
child the privilege of equal educa-
ton in the Nations public schools.
Since that 1854 decision, the
South's leaders have sought some
way to accommodate Dixie insti-
buttons to the courts dictum. Pupil
assignment plans assigning chill
dren to schools on some basis other
than race but which would still
mean that Negro children went to
Negro schools and white children
to white schools were proposed. Up
to now. they have been unimpres-
slve in their effect. Tuition plans
to subsidize white children by the
State if they chose to attend pri-
vate schools, have been suggested.
Their effectiveness is still to be
demonstrated. And there have been
many other plans.
But perhaps most interesting, and
curious, of all the means so far
adopted by the defenders of public
school segregation has been a
growing tendency to attack the
validity of the 14th Amendment
to the Constitution of the United
States, upon which the anti-segre-
cation decision was based.
In the past, sort of Federal
forbearance, with its roots in the
Hayes-Tilden election compromise
OF 1876, has permitted the South
to interpret the amendment almost
as 1t chose in racial matters. A
Supreme Court decision of 1896
(PteSSy as. FerguSon) had upheld
the right of a railroad to offer
separate but equal facilities to
white and Negro passengers. On
the basis of that decision, every
Southern and some border States.
had adopted some segregation legis-
lation requiring separate facilities
for the races.
Thus. until the 1854 Supreme
Court decision reversing the ''sepa-
rate but equal" doctrine of Plessv
Us. ferguson, there had been little
reason for the spokesman of the
South to challenge the validity of
the 14th Amendment except in
academic debate. This situation is
now drastically different, however.
No Formal Action Yet
There has been as yet no formal
challenge to the 14th Amendment
IN the Nations courts. Constitu-
tlonal lawyers are in the main con-
fident that there will be none of a
serious nature. But the case has
been set forth in publications all
over the Nation. Briefly, the South's
contentious are as follows:
. The State Legislatures of the
former Confederate States in 1866
refused to ratify the proposed 14th
Amendment.
. The Congress that approved the
amendment for submission to the
States Tor ratification by the re-
CURED two-thirds majority was a
