Celeste Surprises
The surprise Of the pre-

against Senator Kennedy.
Celeste far outdistanced his
only avowed competitor, FL

by Senator Kennedy. He was

candidacy for the Senate
nomination last February.
insists he is anxious TO have
another "try" in the political
ring with Senator Kennedy,
and that he will conduct a
fighting campaign.
Indeed. he delivered a
speech to the convention
which in a way forecast some
points Of attack he will make
If nominated-on his Dem

that Senator Kennedy, in his
elections to the House and
Senate, has been aided by a
financial steamroller"-the
wealth Of the Kennedy family
and that the Senator has

Reuther, head Of the JAW
and vice president of the
AFL-CIO, to obtain his sup
port in the 1860 Democratic
National Convention.
Mr.. Fingold is a Jew, the
first ever to be elected TO a
Statewide office in Massa-

dorsed to run for Governor.
Son Of an immigrant shoe
maker. he was born in the
west end Of Boston 40 years
ago. He studied law while
he worked as a lahorer on the
Boston and Maine Railroad.
He turned out to be a mighty
good lawyer and has a good
record as attorney general.

Adams and GoIdfine
According TO newspaper re

According to newspaper re-
ports Mr.. Goldfine stated
that he paid Mr.. Adams
hotel bills because Of per-
sonal friendship. Mr.. Gold
fine also stated that the
bills were paid by one Of his
(Goldfine's) companies. Did
Mr.. Goldflne then reimburse
his company because these
were personal" expenses, or
were these expenses deducted
for tax purposes by Gold
fines company as business
expenditures?
II Mr.. Adams hotel bills
were deducted as business
expenses by Mr.. Goldflne's
company, then Mr.. Goldfine
is either ID not telling the
truth when he says they
were personal" or (2) Mr..
Goldf1ne is guilty Of tax

Also, II these expenses

that Mr.. Adams did not know
whether or not Mr.. Goldfine
was treating the expense as
q business one, ignorance
Of that fact Is no excuse

One of your correspondents
expresses the hope that. If
white children in Arlington
enroll In colored schools, the
colored students will not "try
to retaliate for all the in

race" In the same vein. the
Rev. Mr.. Sommerfeld fore
sees a future in which the
colored races may punish the
white race. for all the ar
rogance and injustice Of the
white" To both Of the in
dividuals quoted. the villain
in the piece is the American
white Southerner.
Let's consider the long list
of crimes against the South
ern Negro which may be laid
at the door of the white
Southerner. Along about 1870,
the Yankee friends of the
freed slaves dumped hun
dreds of thousands of help
less Negroes on the defeated
and ruined ex-Confederates.
and from that day to this
Yankee funds for Southern
Negroes, as against Yankee
vocal sympathy. have been
nonexistent.
Public schools for Negroes
in the South have been paid
for almost exclusively by
Southern whites. AS a result
of the Civil War and its
aftermath, the per capita
wealth of Southern whites
has consistently run far be-
low that Of Northern whites
Yet the schools for Negroes
in the South are as good as
and in many cases better
than, their counterparts in
the North.
In less than 100 years the
Southern Negro has beer
raised from the status Of ar
illiterate, semiarticulate, half
savage chattel to the status
F, of a civilized and in many
instances highly educated
human being. He owes THU
phenomenal progress to the
Southern whites exclusively
in Africa. for example, the
Negro remains in about the
same state he occupied In
1865. Yankee expressions Of
devotion to and sympathy fol
the Southern Negro have beer
profuse; Yankee cash ha:
been nonexistent. The revilec
Southern white man, loaded
down with the burden Of re.
building the shattered South
has paid every cent of what
it has cost to place the
Southern Negro in his pres
ent status. Let it be remem-
bered, too, that very little Of
this cost came from the tax
free establishments of the
pious men of God who are al
present melting the Southern
Negro to a race war against
the Southern whites.

Dear DIR. SteincrOhn: lam
q businessman; just turned
40 yesterday. My wife said
that l ought TO celebrate BY
making an appointment for
a physical examination. Life
begins at 4O," she said, "and
i don't want il TO end there"
Any information on where I
90 from here will be greatly
appreciated.-M. N.
! congratulate your wife.
She was wise in asking for
your physical examination
rather than, for instance, a
new mink coat. A yearly
checkup after IS viii give you
many more years Of added
life expectancy. Statistics
prove that people who 60 in
for regular overhauls outlive
their more fatalistic and pro-
crastinating neighbors.
But coming back to your
question. First, 1t is impor-
tant to choose a doctor who
is especially interested in pre-
ventive medicine. In other
words, one who thinks that
seeing people before they get
illness and trying to prevent
it, is just as important as the
more dramatic job Of pulling
someone through a coronary
attack or a severe pneumonia.
NOW HAVING MADE the
appointment for the exami-
nation. what shall you ex-
pect? First, and above all,
you are entitled to time.
That means a definite APP
pointment anywhere from
an hour or two) for unhur-
ried investigation. OF great
est Importance is the taking
of a complete history. This,
in itself, may take at least a
half hour.
In the examination itself,
the doctor should start with
your hair and 60 all the way
down to your toenails-in
slow stages, of course. He will
examine your eyes and look
into them with an opthalmo-
scope to determine how
healthy the retina is.

HE WILL EXAMINE your
ears and nose. Your entire
skin covering will be closely
inspected for possible alb
normalities. Also your teeth
