Arthritis Book Draws
Attack by FTC Aide

The publishers Of "Arthritis
and Common Sense" were ac-
cused by a Federal Trade Com
mission examiner yesterday Of
making false claims about the
book.
Hearing Examiner James A.
Purcell ordered author Dan
Dale Alexander and his pub
fishers to quit advertising
claims that the theories ad-
vanced in the book are q re-
liable treatment or cure for any
kind Of arthritis or rheumatism
or rheumatic fever.
The book has sold more than
100000 copies at from $3.50 to
$3.95 a copy.
The order to stop allegedly
false advertising was issued
against Mr.. Alexander as pres
ident Of Witkower Press, Inc,
of Hartford, Conn.,, and Ber-
nard Witkower, secretary
treasurer of the publishing
firm, as well as the firm itself.
Decision Not Final
Mr.. Purcell's ruling is not a
final decision Of the trade COM
mission. 1t may be appealed,
stayed or docketed for review.
The examiner held that the
book "is but a thesis by Alexan-
der, predicated of unsupport-
able and unprovable postulates
and amounts to nothing more
than a collection and sum-
m mation Of the authors

picked. because Of radical"
ideas on tax policy.
They emphasized that the
almost 200 witnesses to be
heard through December 18
will offer a vast variety of sug-
gestions. comments and expert
information concerning pos
sible revision Of the individual
and corporate income tax sys-
tenn.
Up TO Congress
They declared that final
answers about broadening the
tax base mainly by removing
preferential provisions can be
given only by the committee
and ultimately by Congress.
Those answers may be a long
time in coming. Committee
Chairman Mills, Democrat Of
Arkansas, last week described
the panel discussions as only
the first step in q long-range
examination.
Mr.. Mills held out that the
committee next year might
develop specific legislative pro-
posals for extensive revision Of
the income tax. He indicated
this could eventually include
some rate cuts along with lad
justments" to correct inequi-
ties and remove differentials
that benefit certain taxpayers
or organizations.
The hearings nevertheless
will open in a somewhat skep-
tical atmosphere. Several pros
pective witnesses, while urging
an even broader tax revamping
than the committee currently
envisions. predicted last week
that the panel discussions
would produce little informa-
ton and guidance beyond that
provided by similar hearings
since the 1854 Internal Rev.
enue Code revision.
Make No Predictions
Those witnesses and others
are making no predictions that
any major tax revision legisla-
ton will materialize in 1860.
Mr.. Mills himself cautioned
that constructive tax revision
cannot be accomplished over
night" The complexity Of the
income tax laws and the vol
ume of often conflicting pro-
posals call for extreme care
and thorough-going analysis"
he said.
The opening session tomor-
row will deal with a general
appraisal Of the income tax.

The examiner described as

The public hearings, the first
scheduled since Congress gave
the commission a two-year ex-
tension Of life in September.
will cover voting, housing and
education with emphasis on the
"interrelationship" Of discrim-
inatory practices in the three
| fields.
Key Questions
Are educational standards
lower in segregated neighbor-
hoods? Does slum living result
In voter apathy or bloc vot-
ing? These are some Of the
questions the commission will
seek to answer, 1t said in It's an
nouncement Of the hearings.
The hearings mark the first
foray Of the civil rights group
into the Far West. It has
previously investigated the de-
nial Of Negro voting rights in
Montgomery, Ala, and housing
discrimination in New York,
Chicago and Atlanta.
Its inquiry into the barring
Of Negroes from the polls in
the South has ground to a halt
as q result Of a series Of un-
favorable rulings by Southern
courts. Pending review Of a
Louisiana court decision that
hearing witnesses must be
subject to cross-examination,
the commission has announced
it will hold no further hearings
in the South.
1t is doubtful this issue would
be raised in California, but Just
to be sure the hearings there
will be conducted on a "volun-
tary" basis, with no subpoena
ing Of witnesses. This same
practice was followed in pre-
vious hearings in Northern
cities. which involved only
housing.

He told the group:

He pleased the crowd with
a dividend gift: The Pressman's

which Mr.. Kaufman accepted
with a laugh.

"All you have to do to 60 to

Youngsters Day
For the most part, though,
the day belonged to the kids,
and, wide-eyed, they made the
most of it. From composing
room to presses, they examined
machinery and tools with the
care of a Swiss matchmaker.
For example, Billy Raeder,
the 9-year-old grandson of
Wilfred Gehan, compositor,
tried to lift the metal cast of
a newspaper plate.

Other youngsters were fasci-
mated by the newsroom COM
munications center, where Is

ing like magpies in monotones.
Many were handed a make
believe telegram from Western

dent of journalism from Luck

copy boy. The message read:

of the older children" Mo-
manned explained. 1T occurred
to me that one of them may be

Color Film Shown
One display that attracted
particular interest was a H.

struction of the new Star Build
ing from beginning to end. Shot
by Star photographer Harry
Goodman, the film was shown
continuously on a special pro-
jector supplied for the occasion
by the Staples Hoppmann Co.
of Alexandria.
Reaction to the building was
nearly unanimous.

The Back-Up Ball Is
Poorest Type of Delivery
BY JOE WlLMAN

We illustrate the back-ur
ball today. You can see that il
gets its name from the path Il
takes down the alley. 1t begins
to the left of center, rolls
straight down the lane and
moves to the right as it nears
the pins.
Most beginners, particularly
women and youngsters, will roll
this type Of ball at first. It's a
bad delivery, however, and ]
think everyone should avoid it,
It's the result of a weak wrist
which automatically turns to
the right as the ball is de-
livered. That puts some left
to-right spin on the ball which
takes over after the initial
momentum has been overcome.
The back-up is a bad ball
to roll because the ball is roll
ing away from the l-3 strike
pocket when it hits the pins.
Even if it goes into the 1-2
pocket and is rolling toward
the S pin, chances are it will
defect away from the S pin
due to the weak action Of the
back-up spin.
Some experienced bowlers
like to use this delivery for
shooting at the 10 pin in the
right corner of the alley. I
don't recommend this because
