Dear Sir:
You have at times, and
very effectively, I think, writ
ten about the outdoor man,
and contrasted him feelingly
with the indoor man.
81 am one Of the latter,
and find my life running
most smoothly when I forget
the great outdoors, as it is
called. and confine myself to
reading, writing and other
indoor occupations.
This means, of course,
that ! work inside, too, at a
profession that wears me out,
both physically and mentally.
THE result is that I have
headaches, and I wondered
If you know anything about
headaches. and what to do
about them.
Sincerely, j. L. E."
A headache may mean al
most anything or nothing.
So the best thing to do is
to consult a physician.
He knows, or at least is
supposed TO know, what the
various kinds and types of
headaches are. and what they
may connote in a serious way.
But the person with the
headache may do a few
things for himself, first.
He will not, we believe, be
masking anything serious, if
he takes an aspirin tablet
and lies down at full length,
on his back, for half an hour
or more.
This is the very best thing
we know for what ails you
when you have a headache.
In our own lifetime we
have witnessed the rise of
aspirin to the most used of
all drugs. in all probability.
1t is about as harmless.
evidently, as a drug can be,
used with discretion.
Even the doctors. as far
as we know, set UP no pro-
test at the famous layman
dosing himself with aspirin.
The medical men could
wish that mothers and IA
theirs would keep the tablets
completely out Of the reach
of small children.
Aspirin now ranks as one
of the greatest killers of
children.
This is too, too bad, from
every possible standpoint. be-
cause the drug is harmless
enough in the proper dosage.
The attractive nuisance, as
lawyers say of the bottle of
aspirin tablets is made ali
the more destructive to little
children by the fact that they
see daddy and mommy TAX
ing them.
= 4
For a simple headache, a
5-grain aspirin tablet is
enough.

AMID Ill The Lalk OF VINO
won the victory in the recent
passage by Congress Of the
misunderstanding, anticorrup-
ton labor bill, two facts
stand out. First, the major
credit for effective legislation
belongs to Senator John l..
Mcclellan Of Arkansas, chair
man of the Senate committee
bearing as its long name
1.-THE Select Committee to
Investigate Improper Activ-
tiles in Labor-Management
Relations" Indeed, had 1t
not been for Senator McClel-
lan's persistent and coura-
geous stand and his ability to
keep partisan politics-Dem-
ocratic and Republican-in
allegiance, there might have
been no legislation. Second,
the victory really belongs to
the American people who
made their emphatic demand
for reform labor legislation
known to members Of Con-
gress.
The Senate investigating
committee, composed Of four
Democrats and four Repub-
licans. was created in early
l957-more than two and a
half years ago. 1t grew out
of investigations by the old
Senate investigating commit
tee once headed by the late
Senator Mccarthy Of Wis
consin and then by Sen
ator Mcclellan. This inquiry
turned up racketeering in
labor-management relations
in New York Of a vicious
character. The select COM
mittee was set up with full
authority to go thoroughly
into the whole subject
which the old committee did
not have. What the select
committee revealed shocked
the entire country. Senator
Mcclellan, a modest man.
gives great credit to his COM
mittee members - Senators
Kennedy Of Massachusetts,,
Erwin Of North Carolina,
Church Of Idaho. Capehart
Of Indiana, Goldwater Of
Arizona, Mundt of South
Dakota, and Curtis Of Ne
braska-and to his chief
counsel. Robert F. Kennedy.
brother of the Massachusetts
Senator.
Includes McClellan's Ideas
This was the first piece of
major labor legislation passed
by Congress in a dozen years.
It is not the Kennedy bill,
originally passed by the Sem
ate after being amended, nor
Is 1t the Landrum-G Griffin bill
which passed the House. 1t
is a compromise combination
Of both. 1t also carries impor-
tant elements of the five bills
which were introduced by
Senator Mcclellan, including
in large part the bill of
rights" for union members.
Indeed, it was the adoption
by the Senate Of McClellan's
bill of rights" as an amend
ment to the Kennedy bill
which cracked the tough
nut Of labor legislation wide
open. 1t shed the first ray Of
hope that an effective law
might be written. This was
watered down before the bill
passed the Senate. But the
spirit shown in the Senate
gave encouragement to those

suspected, also, that Mr.. washburn is
just like thousands and thousands of
other men who, from boyhood years,
have never ceased to envy Robinson
Crusoe and too seldom have an oppor-
tunity to emulate him. We hope that
Mr.. Washburn enjoys his island and
that Mrs. Washburn gets to like 1t, too.

members Of the House intent
on writing stih stronger leg
islation.
The leaders Of organized
labor have denounced the
new measure as worse than
the Taft-Hartley Act" -
which they called a slave
labor bill" James Carey. a
vice president Of the ALL
CLIO, addressed a letter to
every member Of the House
who voted for the Landrum-
Griffin bill threatening that
organized labor would work
for their defeat at the polls
next year. All Of which sets
the stage for a terrific battle
In next years elections, with
organized labor working for
political control Of the Ma
ton. A great deal will depend
on the outcome Of this
struggle. But as Of today, the
union leaders seem to have
bitten of a big chunk to
swallow, when they reflect
that the Senate finally passed
the reform bill by a vote Of
IS to 2, and the House by
a margin Of 352 to So. 1t is
true that the bill as reported
from conference between the
two houses was modified and
less drastic in some particu-
lars than the Landrum- Grit
fin bill. But it is still q
measure with teeth, and it
still represents a strong feel
ing that the honest union
member must be protected in
all the rights guaranteed him
in the Bill Of Rights embodied
in the Constitution, and that
certain practices by labor
unions unfair and opening
the way to hoodlum domina-
ton must be halted.
Risked Political Life
Senator Mcclellan knew
that he was taking his politi-
cal life in his hands when he
started on the investigation
of labor-management rela-
tons. He tried in vain to get
help from important labor
leaders in the framing of re-
form legislation. They turned
a deaf ear. They said they
could clean up the situation
themselves. They wanted no
legislation. They adopted a
program Of ethical stand
ards" The AFL-CIO kicked
Jimmy Hoffa and his Team
sters Union out when he would
not comply. In the last round
of the legislative fight, how
ever, they and,Mr. Hoffa were
all found fighting against a
strong reform measure.
The Arkansa Senator
comes up next year for re-
nomination and reelection.
No one has yet announced to
run against him. 1t has been
reported. however, in Arkan-
sas, that the union leaders
are ready to spend 50 million
there to defeat Mr.. Mcclellan.
Certainly they will do their
utmost to get rid of the man
whom they most blame for
the legislation now enacted.
How many other members Of
the Senate and House they
will seek to unseat remains
to be seen. 1t will be a fight
that crosses both Democratic
and Republican lines. And it
will be a desperate and bitter
fight .e- e-.-

Steel Orders
Put Mills in
High Gear

NEW YORK, Feb. 10 (AP) -
Order backlogs are building
up so fast steel sales offices are
working overtime to keep pace
with them, Iron Age magazine
said today.
The National Woodworking
weekly said the backlog of one
large mill has gone up $780,
600 tons during the last 80
days.
Fears of a steel strike and
the upturn in business have
created a situation that is putt
ting a strain on the ability
of the mills to take care If
everybody" the publication said.
Iron Age said it looks as
though flrst-quarter output will
average rs to 80 per cent
of capacity with the second
quarter at IS to 80 per cent
late in that quarter.
The magazine said steel pro-
duction planners have been
caught off guard by the influx
of new business. They are
rushing furnaces into produc-
ton. Shipments are far below
the level of incoming orders.
In the Cleveland area, the
magazine said, the drive to
stock steel is jamming public
warehouse space. 1t explained,
"the available space is being
snapped up by automotive and
can companies as we'll as mills
that want to store steel outside
their own gates"
