Victimized Public

It is high time that the
public became vocal in a ma
tional crisis as far-reaching
as the present steel strike.
The public is unrepresented
in negotiations. 1t is the VIC
tim of decisions reached.
Imitation is becoming more
than a nasty word to many
tens of millions of people
who find their incomes, in
surance, Government and
other securities at drastically
reduced purchasing power.
They suffer as the upward
spiral of wages promotes
automation in industry and
throws hundreds of thou
sands out of Jobs permanent
j. ly, no longer in the thoughts
of the leaders of labor or
management foreve rmore.
Steel and the coal industry
are striking examples of
forced labor-saving mechan-
ization. i,
Other countries take ad-
vantage Of our spiral and
undersell us in every market
and at every turn. Soviet
Russia, with no strikes, no
grievance committees, no ne
gotiations. no wealth-laden
unions, can build ten air
planes, or ten submarines for
what it costs us to build one.
This strike is costing work.
erS and employers billions.
Steel workers have not yet
recovered from the last strike.
Rail, automotive and other
workers are again let out. It
seems clear that all these
people and their families are
recurrent vic Tins of the
whims of. the new royalty
their dues have created, a
royalty housed in splendor,
with Offices on a de luxe
basis and with union pay
rolls and expense accounts of
great magnitude. They give
orders and labor falls in line,
even though already at the
wage scale top.
This was the time to nego-
tiate for a renewal at the pres
ent rate, to hold the line and
to recover from the last strike
and the recession, to stabilize
well-being for everyone. Big
labor must learn that it is
still a minority and that
three or four times as many
Americans not in unions will
come awake and curl their
hair with legislation which
protects the American people
as a whole. This peoples
majority is not now repre-
sented in wage negotiation
proceedings. Yet it pays the
cost finally.

VISTAS IN SCIENCE
BioIoqicoI Warfare Dreaded Weapon
By THOMAS r. HENRY

"Bw"-as they call 1t
around the Pentagon-is q
dirty word.
In the United States one
hardly talks about biological
warfare in mixed company.
1t seems not only dreadful.
per Sc, but dreadfully un-
sportsmanlike against any
enemy.
But there are not many
rules Of sportsmanship In war
and in future wars spreading
Of disease germs through
ana enemy population seems
highly likely.
Potentialities really are un-
known. They may be pre-
dicted from laboratory ex-
periments. but until disease
propagation has been tested
in the field there can be little
certainty of results. So far
as known "BW" never has
been used in modern conflict.
It may have been without
anybody knowing about it.
There are hundreds Of germs
causing hundreds Of kinds Of
diseases. For some Of these
there is no known means Of
protection or remedy. Some
may kill almost 100 per cent
of their victims in a few days.
Others are delayed for weeks.
Some cause only debilitating
diseases, which nevertheless
prevent men from fighting or
working over long periods. A
disease can be hand-picked
for the purpose it is intended
to serve. It can be directed
against animals or crops,
thus diminishing a country's
food supply.
Civilians the Target
AS presently envisioned.
"BW" will be a weapon
against civilian populations,
rather than against armies.
Germs can be spread with
virtually no equipment. Once
let loose, in fact, they spread
themselves.
1t is unlikely that the
United States ever would re-
sort to such weapons. II
is essential, however, that
everything possible be known
about them, for defense pur-
poses, since it is well known
that potential enemies also
are working hard on them
also for defense purposes.
They make no secret Of it.

Should Doctors Tell?

A Star editorial on October
%, under the caption ITO
Tell or Not to Tell" refers to
a statement 4 by DR.. Arthur
Dickinson Wright who is vice
president of the British Royal
College of Surgeons. He de-
clared that he carries the
cancer patient along in ig-
norance of his condition"
The editorial indicates that
The Star does not agree with
him.
I assume that DR.. Wright
had in mind cancer patients
who had passed the point of
no return and were inopera-
BILE and hopeless. I agree with
him that under the circum-
stances the doctor is not JUS
titled in drawing aside the
merciful curtain which OBJ
scures the future and dis
closing the stark truth to the
frightened patient, depriving
him of the glimmer Of hope
which should remain in his
heart until the toxins Of the
disease becloud his mind and
coma and death supervene.
I believe that in this en-
lightened age many patients
who are dying from cancer
suspect the truth. They do
not want to believe this.
They ask the doctor, who
lies to them like a gentleman,
and hope is rekindled. AS the
doctor repeats the lie from
day to day, their spirits are
boosted to some degree and
they continue to hold their
grasp on hope until the end,
knowing that their chances
are slim but supported by the
doctors assurances. Prudent
patients, under these circum-
stances, will have attended to
important business arrange
ments and made their peace
with God. The doctor is like
the life preserver for the
sailor lost on the sea with no
ship in sight. Thirst and ex-
posure gradually weaken him
and he dies, not in despair
but in the hope that rescue
will soon be at hand.
Skin cancers and others in
their incipiency usually can
be completely destroyed. 1t is
often necessary for the doc
tor to tell patients who har-
Dor them that they exist.
otherwise, many patients
would postpone treatment.
The possibility that q lump
in the breast may be can
cerous should be explained
to the patient in order to
secure a biopSy for positive
diagnosis.
Many otherwise intelligent
people will neglect medical
advice for breast Jumps be-
cause they believe that can
Ger cannot be present until
the doctor pronounces it so.
This attitude Of course in
creases the mortality statis-
tics. The prospect for cure is
bright indeed when cancer is
eradicated early. 1t becomes
DINNER each month follow
ing discovery if the cancer is
not eradicated.
I feel sure that DR.. Wright
had in mind the hopeles:
cancer patient when he said
that he carries the cancer
patient along in ignorance OF
his affliction."

ment. It is possible, however, that the
final settlement will have to be made

of this tug of war will be watched with

Templeton Jones, who has
become quite interested in
the Southeast section Of
Washington Beautiful. re-
Gently wanted a flower to
take back home with him.
He picked a bright-yellow
blossom by the wayside, a gay
dandelion, yellow in the sun
shine, happy in the fresh air.
the last of the summer.
When he got it home, he
found it was remarkably like
the dandelions in his own
lawn!
Wherever these sturdy
flowers grow, they bring quite
fresh assurances Of some
thing innocent and good in
the world.
Some people call them
weeds, and insist on routing
them out everywhere they
find them.
There are even dandelion
removers sold, some to be
used low, numbering down on
ones heels, others long and
straight, for upright use.
Certainly too many dan
delions are not good for a
lawn, but a few of them act
as accent points.
This subject Of accent in
the garden is a good one,
and of it most people seem
to be completely ignorant.
That is one Of the good
things about reading - in
reading about gardens, in
books, magazines and news
papers. One cannot miss the
accent point.
Even here one might wish
more space given to it. since
accent is something that oc-
cupies a place in all walks of
life.
Everyone knows how a
pretty girl accents her charm
with a flower, ribbon or even
beauty spot" as a piece Of
courtplaster was once called.
Il Il II
What has happened to
courtplaster?
When one cut a finger in
the old days, he slapped a
piece of courtplaster on it
and thought no more Of it.
Now sanitation frowns
upon this method, and insists
on a properly sterilized band
around the finger.
AS an accent point, a dress
ing can always be counted
on to attract attention. At
the same time it is a remark
able thing that today's people
are less inclined to be nosey
in this respect than people
in the old days. Maybe they
didn't have so much to draw
their attention in the OLD
days.
The buttercup, another
humble flower, is an excellent
accent point in a well-kept
lawn.
1t is here as with human
skin, an imperfection simply
draws attention to the wide
expanse of good.
A few buttercups will draw
the eye instantly, and thu!
