Justified Wurninu

Just as the Food and Drug Admin
iStration was warranted in warning the
people about contaminated cranberries,
the Public Health Service would be
remiSs in its responsibilities if it failed
to warn the public of the risks to health
involved in smoking cigarettes. While it
is true that much research is yet to be
done on the relationship between ciga-
rette smoke and lung cancer, Surgeon
General Burney points out that the
weight of evidence" so far duplicates
smoking as "the principal geological
[causativel factor in the increased Incl
dence of lung cancer" The Government
could not legally or morally ignore such
evidence-even if many smokers choose
to do so.
DR.. Burney'S latest statement on the
tobacco cancer issue is the strongest vet
to come from a Government source on
this controversial subject. It was par
ticular blow to the cigarette industry, be-
cause doubt was expressed as to the
effectiveness of filters in removing can
cer-causing tarS. Most cigarette manu-
facturerS have gone in for filters in
big way, with claims as to their efficacy
in removing tarS and nicotine from to-
bacco smoke.
But the induStry's explosive reac-
ton to the Burney warning, while not
unexpected, is hardly to be regarded as
impartial. The Government would be
subject to well-founded criticism, on the
other hand, if it concealed any informa-
tion whatever bearing on threats to
public health however adverse the
effects Of disclosure might be on the
industry concerned.

The Task at Home

President Eisenhower left Washing
ton last night on an unprecedented mis-
sion in search of the road to world peace.
He left after delivering to his own coun-
trymen grave reminder that our han
ding of our own affairs is inextricably
linked with our power and our reSpon-
Sibility to be prevailing force in the
rest of the world. He spoke of the doubts,
nurtured by the unfriendly forces of an
"atheiStic imperialism" about the true
American desires for peace and friend
ship, in freedom" And he spoke, too, of
the problems plaguing America today
imitation, massive public spending, bur-
denSome taxation and labor-manage-
ment relations.
AS forecast, Mr.. Eisenhower placed
heavy emphasis on the current crisis in
Steel-the outstanding challenge of the
moment to our capacity to display the
qualities of competence which must &C
company leadership. In steel, he called
for around the clock negotiating to
forestall another crippling tieup. But
in more than steel, in all aspects Of the
American society today, he called for
re-examination of our own record and
renewed dedication to the principles
which made this country strong and
good. 1t is an appeal rejecting appre-
henSion, an appeal the Nation should
heed-today as it has in other times Of
criSiS-for its own benefit and for the
welfare of all mankind.

Shrine Dedication

Belatedly, I would like to
thank The Star for its excel
lent coverage of the dedica-
tion on November 20 of the
National Shrine Of the I'm
maculate Conception. Copies
of The Sunday Star Maya
zine of November IS with the
lovely picture Of the shrine
on its cover were sent to
relatives and friends through
out the country. InaSmuch as
this beautiful edifice is a ma
tional shrine for some 35 mil
lion-pluS Catholics in the
United States, its dedication
was the most magnificent re-
ligiouS event in the history
OF the church in America.
Further, as your editorial of
November 20 expressed so
well, Americans of other
faiths should rejoice with
their fellow-Catholic citizens
that the shrine has been ded-
icated decades after the idea
for it was conceived and rep
resentS donations from mem
bers Of other faiths as well
as those of its members all
over the United States.

in equality for girls and, as a
result, I was graduated from

I have three daughters, in

encourage them to be nurses,

The Star stated the Fair
fax County School Board is
considering giving men pre-
ferred status in its school sys-
tenn as a means of increasing
the proportion of male teach
ers in the county.
School Board Member Clyde
Gleason is quoted, "It has
been pretty well established
that many of the problems
faced by children as they
grow up occur because both
at home and in school
they are in the charge
of women almost exclusively"
The two other school board
members (male), in sub
stance, agree.
I should like to know if I
am the only person far more
deeply concerned that our
children, boys and girls,
grow up in a world where
the policy decisions of Gov

almost exclusively. If most

The latest FBI crime report shows
that the police are slowly but surely los

crime in Washington. Whereas a year
or so ago serious offenses were beginning
to level off after pleasant period of
decline, crime has been steadily on the
upgrade this year, with 10 per cent
increase recorded for the past nine
months. This picture does not improve
against the background of a slightly
declining national crime rate.

Wars Toll

AS a veteran Of World War
II. who spent four years in
uniform defending an alleged
way of life" that was sup
posed to be superior to other
foreign" ways of life, I ap-
plaud the humane and in
telligent letter by Janet N.
Neuman. One of my first
chores as an enlisted man,
was writing a defense of
chemical warfare. With
tongue in cheek, I sold other
enlisted men and the gen.
eral public on the idea that
chemical warfare was no
worse than a bad cold, and,
in effect, you could survive
by donning a gas mask and
swallowing a couple of as
pirin. Later, flrst-hand con-
tact with the dead, the in
jured and the mentally dam
aged, led me to realize that
there is no defense against
modern warfare. Nuclear war
means the total destruction
OF governments and people.
1t does not admit of hiding
places, any more than did
Hiroshima, or Rotterdam, or
the heart of London during
World War II. The death of
Hitler did not mean the
death Of prejudice. The saw
ing of Stalingrad did not
mean the salvation of de-
mocracy. The warsaw
Ghetto, Lidice. Dachau, the
Battle of the Bulge, the Nor
mandy landings, and a shot
at the moon, were merely
aftermaths Of the fumblings
Of an inept people to obtain
security without sacrificing
the inherited racial and re-
ligious prejudices of CEN
turieS.
From Flanders Field, to
Stalingrad, to the gentle
slopes Of Arlington National
Cemetery, the earth holds
the remains of heroes and
malingerers who believed
that war was the answer to
all our problems. The gen.
erals shared momentary
glory with the privates when
they died on the field of
battle.
The Civil Defense Guide is
not worth the paper it is
printed on. If we cannot live
in peace with other nations,
it should be obvious that we
cannot survive another war.
A trip through any veterans
hospital should convince us
that we didn't win the last
war.

One Settlement Reached

Another costly tie-up of the East
Coast waterfront-ranking along with
similar threats in the steel and railroad
industries among the three top labor
management problems of the day-has
been averted during the 80-day cooling
of period provided by the Taft-Hartley
injunctive process. Aided by Federal and
New York State mediatorS, the New
York Shipping Association, representing
most of the industry, and the Interna-
tional LongShoremen's Association, re-
Gently reinstated to membership in
the AFL-CIO, have agreed upon three
year master contract. The Taft-Hartley
law was invoked by President EiSen-
hover on october 8, after weeks shut
down of Atlantic and Gulf Coast ports.
Aside from the welcome implica-
tions involved in avoiding resumption
of the strike, there are other significant
aspects in the waterfront settlement
and the manner in which it was reached.
AS in both steel and rails, the straight
monetary issues involved were second
lry to what are loosely called work rules.
On the piers, dispute on the rules CEN
tered upon two points: Q) Upon man
agement's right to greater employment
of mechanization, and (2) upon la
boris demand for penalty payments"
for the handling of vans loaded or un-
loaded away from the docks. Manage
ment backed down on the first, at least
to the point of not reducing the size of
"work gangS"-the potential benefit Of
Increased mechanization. On the Sec
ond point, however, there was agree
ment that bargaining would continue
for another ten days-to be followed, if
necessary, by arbitration binding upon
both sides. A formula similar to this
has been proposed by the steel industry
on the work rule issue, but has been
rejected by the steel union.
Perhaps applicable to the steel i'm
pasSe, also, was the waterfront bargain
ing technique employed by the Govern
ment mediatorS-namely of keeping the
management and labor negotiators
separated while the mediators served as
the channel of communications between
them. BY this method, negotiation was
confined in each phase to single is
sue and the danger of personal animos-
tiles reduced. In commencing both the
method and the results, spokesman
for the mediators suggested that both
might prof1tably be sought in the steel
case. Certainly, comparable results, by
virtually any method, would be welcome.

THIS AND THAT
By CHARLES E. TRACEWELL

EMERSON STREET.
Dear Sir:
Last summer sometime
you wrote about Temp Jones'
reducing plan, and how he
had gone from a high 1853
pounds to a low of l53.
Il have never heard any
thing more, and wonder
what his weight is now.
This intriguing human
being is just a bit more than
human, at times, so his ms
and outs of weight as we'll
as thoughts, intrigue many
of us.
What I am particularly
interested in is whether Mr..
Jones has held his low, or,
like the rest of us, has al
lowed his weight to creep up
the scale again.
Il have read many books
on reducing, and have tried
many systems, but I always
gain back all I have lost.
Il am willing to admit the
blame, if any there is, but
what about Jones?
Sincerely, MARY LUCILLE
O."
Mr.. Jones has gained back
just half of what ne lost.
He is rather proud, too.
He says that anybody can
keep the weight off, if they
try.
Some effort has been made
in recent months, even by
reputable medical men and
especially by them, to take
the onus of failure off the
man or woman reducing, and
put it on the medical pro-
fesSion, at least in a way.
1t will not do, one expert
said, to give the fat patient a
diet list and then say it is all
up to him.
Doctors who treat over
weight patients still have a
part to play, according to
their own experts. This most
ly lies in keeping the patient
toeing the mark.
Toeing the mark, in the art
OF reducing, is standing on
the bathroom weight ma
chine.
These come in a variety of
Of colors, but no matter the
color, the thing is hard to
read.
1t seems that the overhead
light strikes just at the point
where the red marker shows
the present weight.
If the marker runs side
ways, the light obscures the
plain fact that you have
gained a pound over the
week end.
If the hand moves up and
down, it shines so brightly
there that you cannot see
whether you have gained or
lost.
Perhaps the feel of ones
belt. If male, is the best
gauge, after all.
