District Health Officer

The time is fast approaching
when our children will be 'nestl-
ed all snug in their beds, while
visions of sugar plumS dance in
their heads" We can be sure to
make that wondrous next day
and the following days safe for
our children by selecting sensi-
BILE toys for Christmas. Acct
dents are the leading cause of
death and injury to children, and
improperly chosen toys are of
ten the cause of accidents.
Almost all young children
tend to place toys in their
mouths at one time or another,
and toys painted with lead paint
can be a definite hazard. Lead
poisoning still causes approxi-
mately 60 deaths yearly among
children in the United States,
and many more instances of seri-

cellent toys for the older child,
but the small pieces may be
deadly to the toddler who ex-
amineS everything not only with
his hands but with his mouth.
Ordinary household items such
as cardboard boxes, cutouts from
magazines and old pots and pans
often make the best, least ex-
penSive and safest toys for small
children. How often a fond rela-
tive brings an elaborate toy to
a tot and finds to his diSmay that
the little one has put aside the
toy and is happily playing with
the box and wrappings!
Make this a Safe Christmas
for our children and a Merry
Christmas for all.

In addition to his Caruso col
lection, DR.. London also has a
sizable collection of recordings
by Martinelli, another famous
Italian tenor. DR.. London owns
about three-fourths of all Mar
tinelli's recordings. This is his
largest single collection other
than the Caruso collection.
A lover of old recordings, and
the old stars, DR.. LonGon also
enjoys his recordings by Melba,
Tetrazzini, John McMormack,
and Rosa Ponselle. He has 1926
records in these additional col
lections.
DR.. London feels that as sing
ers, the old stars had bigger,
more beautiful, better-trained
voices than present-day operatic
stars.

the University has collected all
If them; he has 228 original re-
cOrdings and IL re-recordings.
DR.. London, who is curator Of
the Rare Book Room at the Uni
yersity's library, began collecting
Caruso recordings during his col
leee days at UNC. But this collec-
tion took on serious proportions
when a friend, James Cheshire,
cave DR.. London his own collec-
tiOn of so recordings in 1941.
In 1855, DR.. London completed
his collection.
To secure the major part of
his collection, DR.. London studied
the catalogues Of old record
shops, primarily located in New
York, Philadelphia, and Boston.
He also visited many of the shops
10 obtain particularly hard-to-
find records. Some of the record
ings we're secured from the cata-
lOgues; others from auction
| lists; still others were obtained
BY trading duplicates with fellow
Caruso collectors. The purchase
price of an original recording
ranges from 81 to $3.50 per re-
cord, depending on its rarity.
A "Carusarlan" such as DR..
London, must also know a great
deal about old recordings in gen.
eral. He says the first three
recordings Caruso made were
produced on cylinders in 1900 by
the Italian Commerce Company.
These original cylinders have
all been destroyed, and there are
none available. Can original re-
cCrding is made from a matrix
or pressed metal form from
which the record is cut. A re-re-
cOrding is made from another
record rather than a matrix.)
Following the cyclinder-type
records, Caruso made single-fac-
ed records (double-faced records
as we know them were not made
until around 1929. The next
seven Caruso recordings were
made by the Zonophone Com
pany of Italy; these are the most
difficult to obtain and cost from
SIS to $1OO apiece, if they can be
found at all. Another % record
ings we're made by the Gramo-
phone and Typewriter Co., of
England and Italy. Since these
20 records are the oldest and
most difficult to obtain, they
command the highest prices. DR..
London>s Il re-recordings come
from this group.
From 1904 until his death in
1921, Caruso recorded only for
the Victor Talking Machine Co.,
which later became RCA Victor.
Dr.. London has all of these re-
cOrdingS in the original form.
These, he says, are the easiest
to obtain and range in price
from 81 to SIS apiece.
Though the records are made
without the use of a full orches-
ira, the brilliance of CaruSo's
voice has never been matched,
according to DR.. London. He
thinks modern re-rec0rdings of
the early records close some
thing in brilliance of voice."
even though they remove the
scratches.
DR.. London's favorite Caruso
recording is a little-known aria
from "The Queen of Sheba" by
Goldmark entiKed "Magiche
note"
Though he never had the op-
pOrtunity to hear Caruso on the
stage Or to meet him personally,
Dr.. London has been Caruso
admirer for many years. In
addition to his record collection,
he has a formidable selection of
books written about the great
Italian tenor.
Included in the book collection
is a "discography" by j. Free
stone and H. j. Drummond, en-
titled "Enrico Caruso." DR..

John A. McCone, director of
the Central Intelligence Agency
gives a congressional commit
tee today a secret report on
Russian nuclear tets.
DR.. Glenn T. Seaborg, chair
man of the Atomic Energy
Commission, was scheduled to
appear with Mr.. McCone be-
fore the Senate-House Atomic
Committee.
The report, already received
by President Kennedy, preSum-
ably compares Russian prog
ress in their resumed atmos-
pheric tests with United States
accomplishments in continued
underground blasts.
Mr.. Kennedy said at his news
conference this week that a de-
cision on resuming United
States tests in the atmosphere
will be made later. Meanwhile,
he said, preparations for such
tests have been stepped up.
Top officials in the nuclear
field reported yesterday to the

Divorce Suit by Todd,
Listing Lands, Fails

A divorce suit which named
as correspondent James M.
Lands, former White House
adviser, was dismissed today at
Municipal Court.
The suit by Joseph A. Todd,
As, a public relations consultant,
against his wife Pauline, Al,
charged that she committed
adultery with Mr.. Lands, 81,
and other unnamed men be-
tween June l and July 20 last
year.
Mrs. Todd denied the allega-
tionS. Today's order by Judge
Frank H. Myers dismissed the
case with prejudice" mean
ing that it cannot brought to
trial again.
Judge Myers issued a con-
sent order signed by Jean M.
Boardman, attorney for Mr..
Todd, and Lee M. Hydeman,
Mrs. Todd's attorney.
According to court papers,
the suit was not served per-
Sonally on Mr.. Lands and not
answered by him. He could not
be reached for comment today
in New York, where he is in
private law practice.
His resignation from his
White House post was an

Mr.. Rusk specifically said he
did not know whether there is

Reds Say Israeli ENJOYS
In Russia Are u. S. Spies

MOSCOW, Jan. 10 (AP).-
The trade union newspaper
Trud accused Israeli diplomats
today of spying on the Soviet
Union for the United States
Central Intelligence Agency
and using SynagogueS as con-
tact centers.
The newspaper charged that
Joshua Pratt, first secretary of
the Israeli Embassy, headed a
spy ring that recruited agents
among Soviet Jewish citizens
and that the espionage was
carried on with the knowledge
Of the Israeli government and
on orders of the United States.
Mr.. Pratt was out of Mos
COW, but the Israeli Embassy
said no official action had been
taken against him and there
had been no Soviet request that
he leave the country. The posi-
ton of Israeli diplomats here
is very delicate since normal
contact with Soviet jews is al
ways subject to misinterpreta-
ton.
Linked to Trial
The newspaper also disclosed
officially for the first time that
Mr.. Pratt and other diplomats
at the Israeli Embassy were the
foreign agents" referred to at
the trial of three Leningrad
Jewish leaders last October.
Gedalia R. Pechersky, so, ma
tionally known Jewish leader,
was sentenced to IL years in
prison, and two other men in

Joint Chiefs of Staff, headed

Asked whether defense Off
Gals are pleading for resump-
ton of air testing to improve
nuclear weapons,
Mr.. Holifield said:
Il never knew a general who
had enough soldiers or enough
guns"
Mr.. Holifield himself has
spoken out repeatedly for re-
sumed atmospheric testing.

| for "consorting with foreign
agents"
At their trial, Trud asserted,
documentary proof was given
that Israeli diplomats use syn
agogues for meetings with peo-
pie to whom they give instruc-
tionS and from whom they re-
'ceive espionage information
and anti-Soviet SANDER"
Soviet Union Slandered
The newspaper said the three
defendants admitting making
tape recordings containing
SANDER of Soviet present-day
reality which they especially
prepared in order to hand them
over to. their masters who in
tended to use them for anti
Soviet propaganda"
Declaring "Zionism is a mask
for Spies" Trud said, "The
Soviet people are indignant at
the behavior of the Israeli dip
lomatS who have used travel
through the Soviet Union and
meetings with Soviet citizens
for subversive activity.
Facts show that the sub
versive activity of the workers
of the Israeli Embassy against
the Soviet Union is carried out
with the knowledge of the
Israeli government and on
orders from their trans-At-
lantic masters The Zionist
organizations and parties of
Israel have essentially turned
into branches of the American

and Red China.
Mr.. Rusk will leave tomorrow
night for the conference which
opens Monday at Punta del
Este, Uruguay.
He told news conference
yesterday that he believes
without any doubt" the for
eign ministers will review the
record of events in Cuba and
declare it to be IAN unaccept-
able penetration of this hemi-
sphere by forces from outside
the hemisphere"
Declines Forecast
Apart from this prediction,
Mr.. Rusk declined to forecast
the outcome of the meeting.
1t is known that the United
States hopes to obtain an
agreement to impose sanctions
unless Mr.. Castro changes his
ways. According to one United
States formula, sanctions
would be automatically insti-
tuted if after 60 days from the
end of the meeting the Organ
ization of American States did
not report, by tWo-thirdS vote.
that Cuba had complied with
a demand to break its Sino-
Soviet ties.
AS part Of this same formula
the foreign ministers would
agree that none of the Amer
lean states, including the
United States, would intervene
unilaterally against Mr.. Castro.
