DETROIT, Oct 5 (AP) -
Federal mediators, acting as
observers. today Joined Ford
Motor Co. and United Auto
Workers Union negotiations
which are seeking a settlement
of a strike which has shut
down Ford operations.
There was no immediate in
dication of direct Government
intervention in the negotia-
tions.
James Macpherson, regional
director. and David Tanzman
of the Federal Mediation and
Cancellation Service arrived at
the bargaining scene today.
The presence of the two Fed
.eral mediators was considered
an indication of the Govern
ment's concern over the strike
and its possible effect on the
Nations economy.
Mr.. Macpherson and Mr..
Tanzman had no comment on
their presence. Ken Bannon,
director of the UAW Ford De-
partment. said he had been
told by the two mediators that
they were interested in up-to-
date facts.

The ambassador had hoped
to seat the world-famous

other wise, as each dignitary
on the invitation list sent
word that he would attend,
the host was obliged to move
the conductors place card

When Toscanini arrived,
he discovered that his seat

talk about his operation?
Well. I am II hope) at the
tail-end Of a gastro-inteSti.

1t.
Operations may be dra-
matte, but sometimes q virus
attack can be sudden and
vicious. ! know these upsets
are sometimes called a "24-
hour virus" But ! think most
sufferers will agree that the
attack weakens you for many
days. I can attest to that.
Apparently well four days
ago, I sat down to dinner.
The only thing out Of order
was my usually good appetite.
Although the roast looked
appetizing. it didn't taste
that way. Everyone else
seemed to be enjoying it ex-
cept myself.
The reason was soon evil
dent. Within half an hour I
developed an uncomfortable
heartburn. This lasted for
hours and was unrelieved un-
til nature emptied the stom-
achs Episodes recurred at in
tervals through q long night.
There was slight fever,
chilliness. aching of bones all
over. persistent nauseau, and
inability to keep anything
down." Even a teaspoonful Of
orange juice or a swallow Of
cracked ice would quickly
bounce.
Within "a hours a sip Of
hot water and milk or tea
would be palatable-but not
much more. Queasiness and
occasional heartburn persist
ed for at least three days.
Fever dropped the first day.
Now what did ! do about 1t
ell, Mr.. T.? Not much more
than anyone else could do.
! think the most important
treatment is rest, warmth,
and absolutely nothing by
mouth (even water) until the
stomach is ready to accept

family name Of Greek origin.
In this country of Smiths and
Jones's, It's quite q mouthful,
I admit. But it's an honorable
name.
MY grandfather brought 1t
to these shores in 1908, and
It's listed on the services

why I'm ashamed that my
son wants to change 1t. I
told him q long name never
stood in the way of an Eisen-

Frelinghuysen.
Our name Is an asset. not
q liability. It helps us stand
out in peoples minds. And
I've come across even longer
names than ours, like Katz-

I can't take time out to draw

It's q real jawbreaker.
Why make things so hard

Hollywood
THE COUNCILS VIEW
There are sound reasons
for changing a name. Of
course. The courts recognize
and accept requests based
upon business, professional,
social, and even psychology
cal considerations. Discount
ing sentiment, we must re-
spect Alexis decision here as
to the potential advantages
for him Of o simplified name.
But lest too many Of the
colorfui. rhythmic, and
meaningful surnames like
Mr.. Us vanish. here's a plea
against the pale conformity
that would eventually reduce
us all to homogeneous labels.
A few days ago, the newspa-
pers carried word Of q valu-
able scientific contribution
made by two professors from
the University Of Chicago,
DR.. William Offenkrantz and
DR.. Allen Rechtschaffer.
These are substantial, inter.
eSting mouthfuls indeed!
On the other hand, we see
Alexis point. Alex by any
other name will still be Alex.
And II he turns into the
world-beater he hopes to be,
the credit will still be en-
tered In the right column,
that Of the z. family. Alex
seems devoted and proud
enough to see to that.
