Los Avances de Ia Economic AIemana

Ell Ministro de Economic ha recibido grandes
elogios, no solo de sus propios compatriotas sino
tambien de hombres del extranjero que saben 10
que ha hecho por Alemania Occidental.
Nj siquiera los socialistas alemanes que por
estar en- la ~oposici6n critcan cast todas las medi-
das del gobierno- quieren mostrarse enemigos
de Erhard.
En- una epoca lie criticaban sus principles eco
nomicos liberales. Hoy Sc abstienen prudente-
mente de tai cosa.
Erhard impulse la economic alemana llevando
a la practica principles que Ell ensehabs en- la
Universidad de Erlangen.
Y mientras los llevaba a la ~practica, trabajaba.
Lo hacia intensamente. BESIDE las seis de la
manana hasta bien entrada la noche.,
Ell Ministro continua trabajando al mismo
ritmo. No suspende Ell trabajo al mediodia para
conner. Prefiere conner en- su mess de trabajo.
Con I'm emparedado y I'm POGO de te tiene sufi-
ciente.
Erhard no es hombre que pueda dormirse So
bre ss laureles. Durante los dieZ ultirnos amos
ha hecho mucho, pero Sc propone hacer todavia
mas.
+. La principal tarea de Erhard consiste ahora,
en- conservar la estabilidad del marco y moldear
una solida union economical europea.
BESIDE las dltimas elecciones, Erhard ha mos
trado ser ell hombre mas influyente de la Alema-
MIA Occidental despues de Adenauer, no solo en-
los asuntos internos sino tambien %externos.

Las g~estiones que hizo Semaun en- 1926, fue-
ron una de las primeras intentonas realizadas
por ell Kremlin, para infiltrar Ell comunismo en-
los movimientos nacionalistas de los PASSES colo
males y semicoloniales.
Semaun apareci6 en- ell Cercano Oriente en-
1919, en- mission de propaganda.
Sc sabe tambien que Semaun ha hablado en-
indonesio, desde la estacion de Radio de Moscu.
Sc cree igualmente que ha regresado a va
karta para realizar allf una Importance mission.
Los funcionarios holandeses no consideran
comunista a Sukarno, pero GREEN, sin embargo,
que. o bien ell presidente ha sobreestimado SUI
capacidad para manejar a los comunistas, o ha
s~ubestimado Ell poder de los comunistas y su ha-
bilidad para infiltrarse en- los movimientos ma
cionalistas.
Los funcionarios locales dicen tambien que
hay indicios de haber comunistas en- Ell ~ejercito
de Indonesia y en- muchas ramas del %gobierno de

No parece, sin embargo, que Ell pueblo in.

Issue Early Warnings
POstnlasters Getting
The Christmas Blues

Uncle Sam. This was one of the
biggest parole post auction sales
known to oldtimers. tBeing a big
one, it happened in Texas, of
course.)
Sometimes, though, auctioneers
are unsuccessful in their efforts
to get a good price. At a San
Francisco auction, for instance
the auctioneer let a mans wallet
go for a small amount of money
only to have the successful bid
der lift two $50 bills from a secret
compartment in the wallet.
Frequently, lost parcels mean
a serious tragedy for someone,
however, officials recall the story
of one parcel containing a human

rect medical liquids, which could
not be delivered because of i'm
proper addressing.
Montgomery County sentinel., 1958-10-16

Noting the Christmas season is
just around the corner, Montgom-
cry County postmasters this week
urged the public to begin plan
ming Christmas mailings now.
They coupled this plea with
warning that the Post Of
flee Department is unable
each year to deliver or re-
turn about half million par
GELS including many lost at
Christmas time because of
poor packaging or addressing.
They suggested several steps
that can be taken by mailers to
protect themselves against loss:
Q Check and revise mailing
lists.
. Type or hand-print gummed
mailing labels.
. Use complete addresses. Do
not abbreviate. Include delivery
zone number.
. Make a list Of your mailing
needs and start buying good quail
ity mailing materials now-strong
cord, heavy wrapping paper, and
so forth.
. Get at least some Christmas
parcels in the mails soon with a
notation that they are not to be
opened until Christmas. This will
minimize mailing problems dur
ing the Christmas rush.
o Plan to use insurance on all
parcels. Neither insurance fees
nor parcel post rates were af-
fected by recent postal rate
changes, Incidentally
Montgomery County postmas
ters discussed what happens
when parcels become lost, and
some interesting stories that have
grown up over the years concern.
ing dead parcel post auction sales
Lost parcels are auctioned
yielding about quarter million
dollars annually from approx
mately half million parcels, for
the u. S. Treasury.
However, this is one of the
less welcome sources of revenue
Postal employees know that, ir
addition to the expense and de
lays involved, lost parcels usually
mean disappointment for some
one at Christmas time, frequently
for children.
Postal employees cannot parti
cipate in the bidding. They do
however act as auctioneers, anc
take pride in attempting to gel
as much of the true value of the
article as possible.
This is illustrated by the story
that one auctioneer became sc
absorbed in his work he sold the
coat to his own brand new suit
4 for a dollar and a half.
In another sale, an astute post

Drive Against Porkinson's Disease
BY DR.. PETER }. STEINcRoHN

Many readers have asked why
so little seems to be done in
overcoming Parkinson's Dis
ease paralysis AgitanS). They
hear Of organized drives against
cerebral palsy, muscular dystro-
ply. Why, they would like to
know, is such a common, dis
abling illness as Parkinson's
overlooked?
Until lately, I have known
of no concerted drive against
this shaking palsy" But now
comes word from New York Of
the opening wedge against the
ailment.
There has been organized the
Parkinson's Disease Foundation,
with headquarters at A East
5Srd street. 1t will soon launch
the first voluntary national
campaign against this illness.
William Black, president of a
New York corporation has con-
tributed 100000 to give it life.
It's treasurer is DR.. Edgar A.
Lawrence, director of the De-

fortunately, Parkinson's dis
ease has been long neglected
and it is time that a group of
well-choSen doctors and scien-
lists, supported by grants to
neurological hospitals where
ParkinsoniSm is treated, con-
duct extensive research to learn
the basic causes that lead to
the disease"
Most people have seen pa
tients with shaking palsy of
Parkinson's. 1t stiffens the
muscles causing lethargy,
shaking of hands and legs, a
stopped posture, expressionless
face and slowness of move
ment. The afilicted walk along
with mincing steps and you
never see them smile. They
can't talk or write with ease.
Exactly what causes it we
do not know. At present, we
think Of three types: One,
caused by Encephalitis. Two,
secondary to arteriosclerosis.
Three, an Idiopathic type. due
to a cause entirely unknown.
For all practical purposes, the
cause is unknown in all types.
The disease occurs in men
twice as often as in women.
1t is chronic and progressive.
