Denied the Democratic nomlna- tnarck. who always favored close cooperation between Germany and Nadolny 1 !* advice to Moscow has been to cot out the diplo- matic blaster, and talk softly to the west, while simultaneous- ly strengthening Russian-Ger- man ties. If Moscow extends the olive branch to western Europe and the United States. Nadolny is reported to have advised, western opinion will bo lulled and congress will not appropriate full funds for the north Atlantic pact. German-Russian Pact? in addition, Nadolny also met with German leaders last month and gave that Gen Russld. The way Nadolny sized it up was reported to be abbut as follows: II theTe is peace, Russia can give far more to Germany than the al- lies for two reasons: 1. She controls Silesia and can return it 2. Britain and the U. S. A. are hungry for markets. If there is no war^uils competition foT"rndrktris will become keener, and Britain and the U. S. A. will keep Germany' •an agrarian state. Meanwhile Rus- sia has ample markets in China and offers no competition to Ger- many. If, on the other hand, there Is war, Nadolny said he had positive : assurances that Germany would be spared. The Red army, he prom- j lsed, would advance either through Norway or Italy. Therefore close German-Russian cooperation was essential. Result was the stiff position .taken by the western German leaders at Bonn, when they first turned down Gen. Lucius Clay's proposals for a western German state. It was only after the Big Three foreign minis- ters granted concessions that the German charter "oT '^oVefiiment finally was accepted. Phony Telegram Lobby Not since the holding-company fight of 1935, when the private util- ity lobby bombarded congress with telegrams signed with names taken from a telephone directory, has Capitol Hill been deluged with so many phony telegrams and letters as in the current drive against pub- lic housing. One of the lobby's most In- genious schemes Is being worked on California congress- men by an organization with mittcc for l^ome protection." Congressmen may not realize Iti, but this Is merely a front for (he powerful national "as- sociation of home builders. •'•"'Its general chairman, . Freder- ick C. Dockweller, also happens to be general counsel of the Los An- geles home builders institute, while in the background is multimillion- aire Fritz B. BurrfsTtiggest west coast builder and former presi- dent of,-National Home Builders. However, California congressmen would be even more amazed if they knew how the folks are being used by the "committee for home protection. Here is how the lobby operates: Committee agents approach citi- zens on the 'street, give them a "facts sheet." containing 10 sample telegrams denouncing public-hous- ing legislation, and ask them to se- lect one, copy it on a telegram blank provided by ttffc lobby's agent, and sign-it. When 20 such "canned" tele- grams have been collected, they are sent to a member of congress. The latter assumes the telegrams are legitimate messages from the voters back home. In addition to the "facts sheet." which lobby agents hand to the public, they also have an "instrutfv tlon" sheet," which they are very careful not to hand out. These con- fidential instructions are a dead giveaway. "1. Select your prospect. Get a man who has absolutely no con- nection with the building or real- estate business. This is a 'grass roots campaign; so look for labor- ers, white-collar workers, peter - ans, housewives, small-shop keep- ers—people in the middle—and 'lower-income brackets. "2. £how your prospect your facts sheet. "3. Ask him Ho write his mes- sage on a telegraph blank. Get him to select his favorite argu- ment and state that In a maxi- m u m of 15 words." Liberal and Four Free* ties' tickets in a contest which kept Manhattan's west side in an uproar for months. A surprise to many Americans, who did not know such procedure was permissible, Roose- velt does not reside in the district he will represent in congress. It seems that all the while there has them significant advice I been no bar in the law to prevent mny's future lay with candidate from living in one-4i3- trict and representing another. DESPITE his victory as a stand- ard bearer for two other parties, Roosevelt declared he is still a 100 per cent Democrat. Campaigning, he visited thou- sands of voters, turned on the old Roosevelt charm, mingled with the masses in their homes, attended house parties as honor guest, made street corner speeches. One defeated candidate sounded a familiar note heard so frequently during other Rooseveltian cam- paigns: "The formula in this election was a glamorous name and a quarter of a million dollars, and neither of these did we have." BARKLEY: No Guards •Tm a big My now. And besides, who would want to harm a young man like me anyway." t Thus did Kentucky's Alben W. Barkley, Vice-President of the United States, dismiss the Idea of personal guards. _ BARKLF.VL. .who. .will be .72.. In November, goes where he wants, when he wants and flatly refuses protection of any sort. He told newsmen that President Truman had "tried to get me to accept a few secret service men,"" but was turned down. Secretary of the Treasury Snyder and top G-man J. Edgar Hoover also offered to provide bodyguards, but Barkley wanted his freedom. "I like It better that way," he said. Barkley claims he's just a "com- mon man, nothing fancy." In fact, he gets a kick out of people trying to figure out how to address him. "I STILL call myself senator." be says, "a habit after 22 years In congress, but the kids call me •veeflf'I'like that." He could also be called Mr. President, since that'* how he's re- ferred to In the senate over which he now presides." RADIO: Godfrey Tops Carrot-thatched, gravel-throated Arthur Godfrey, radio's chief ex- ponent of the "be yourself* type of entertainer-announcer, led the CBS network In earnings during 1948. He was paid $440,514.16 last year by the broadcasting system for which he labors. Newscasters didn't fare so bad- ly. however. Lowell Thomas was a close second with $420,300. Oddly enough, the network boss, Frank Stanton garnered only a measly $109,798.80. All these figures cov- ered income before Untje Sam took his cut, so there was some difficul- ty In trying to ascertain iust>how much "take home" pay these 'gen- tlemen received. For the ABC network, Don Mc- Neil], emcee of the Breakfast Club, was tops with earnings of $180,229.- TROOPERS CATCH TARTAR Lasf Man Over Lt. Joe Russo, U.S. army air force, is shown holding a ban- quet of flowers presented to him after he landed his air- plane at Templehof airdrome to complete the last airlift flight before the lifting of t h e Berlin blockade. GERMANY: Clay Speaks Up -If Gen. Lucius D. Clay, retiring Unite*?-States military governor In- Germany, had his way, America's ex-foes would be permitted back into the company of democratic nations as soon as possible. BACK In Washington where he was feted and decorated by Presi- dent Truman, Clay warned that un- less Germany is restored to tho community of western nations, an aUJtnee with Russia by our former enemies Is inevitable. Speaking to the house of repre- sentatives. the general declared that the German people, In spite of their recent history of aggressive war and "extreme cruelty," now had shown their preference for a government standing for the "digni- ty of man as an Individual." In the spirit of the residents of Berlin who survived through the airlift. Clay declared, there Is a spark for German freedom that "may grow with the years." He told the senate how tire people of western Germany had adopted through their parliamentary coun- cil a constitution which guarantees free elections and Is "devoted to reestablishing in Germany the dig- nity of m a n . " mruoxrr referring to the Soviets by name, he charged, neverthe- less. that the Russians have two objectives that were irreconcilable with the efforts made by the United States, ^England and France to create a four-power government in Germany based on international co- operation. He defined these objectives of what he termed "the fourth power" as intent to exact the maximum in reparations from Germany and to set up a government that could be controlled or exploited by a police state. COMMUNISTS: Losing Ground ACCIDENTS: Three Reasons Plain stupidity, bad manners, and liquor are the top three causes of automobile accidents, accounting for (free-fourths of all fatalities, or over 24.000 deaths per year, accord- ing to a case analysis by North- National Life Insurance- majority. lots "we won't vote for a police stpte and we reject Communism." Early returns from Berlin showed a majority of "no" votes—the only way* the congress could be re- jected since.only one list of candi- dates was submitted. THE "PEOPLES' congress." If lt were to be set up, would be the Soviet answer to the western state being set up In the western zone. . Objective observers couldn't fall to see In the Initial trend of t h e voting an indication thaj In any case where American system and ldealogies'may be contrasted with that of the Soviets, the latter can ; not command "support.- Wild West Showman Defies Georgia Law Many a man has had a hanker- ing to do just what Col. Zach Mil- ler did when he ran afoul of state police on a speeding and driving without a license charge. It hap- pened In Georgia where the colonel and his driver, James Colbert, were riding the rjnge at 75 miles per hour. The limit la 55. Colbert, lt seems had no license. Two troopers hauled In Colonel Miller, 71-year old Texan and boss of t h e 101 Ranch Wild West Show, for permitting use of his panel truck by an unlicensed operator. Colonel Miller refused to stand trial. In lurid language he declared he'd "rot In jail," before he paid a dime. The sheriff explained further: "Miller refused to' stand trial." By far the top killers are the "stupid" group of driver offenses- excessive speed, ignoring traffic signs or traffic officers, passing on hills or curves, and other -miscel- laneous "dimwit" violations; the study finds that one or more of these offenses is involved In 40 per cent, of all fatal accidents, and Is the principal cause of 32 per cent FOOLISH ACTIONS by adult, pedestrians—crossing against traf- fic signals, crossing intersections diagonally, crossing Between Inter- sections, coming from behind parked cars, and walking In the roadway in the same direction as traffic cause another 12 p e r cent of fatalities, based on experience records of 1946, 1947 and 1948, t h e study finds. Thus 44 per cent of our annual traffic death toll results from failures by drivers or pedes- trians to use common sense. Bad manners, such as road hog- ging—driving over the center line or actually on the wrong side of the road, and "barging through" when the other fellow has the right-of- way cause another 15 per cent of traffic fatalities, 'the records reveal. TRAFFIC DEATHS due to alco- hol are estimated by the insurance statisticians a t a minimum of 15 per cent—12 per cent due to drink- ing by drivers and 3 per cent due to drinking by pedestrians. This Is the most difficult group of cases to measure accurately, the study points out, because: Many drinking drivers try to ^ooceal such facts In case of an accident, and an un- known number succeed; second, a considerable proportion of other violations'such as reckless driving, which are directly blamed for cer- tain accidents, would not be com- mitted If the driver were fully sober and his judgement clear. Summary: Of our annual traffic toO of 32,000 to 33.000 deaths. 44 per cent result from acts H'tbaj by motorists or pedestrians, 15 per cent result from bad driving man- ners, and at least 15 per cent from liquor. Total; 74 per cent SNEEZER: 150,000 Times Michael Hlpplsley bad sneezed 150,000 t i m e s and was still sneezing. London doctors sought frantically to bring some relief to the 14»year old schoolboy who had sneezed once every three seconds for nine days. THE only time the boy hadn't sneezed In t h e ^ n e d a y s was when he was knocked out by drugs or sleeping. "I've had kerosene up my nose, drops down my ears and hundreds of tablets." Michael told reporters. "Then they cauterized me. I couldn't feel anything more, but I kept on sneezing." When news of Michael's plight got about some 50 callers offered, sympathy and advice. One sug- gested hypnotism. Another said sneeze In a paper sack. Unfortu- nately, all remedies had been tried. SCIENCE, making great strides with allergy controls and remedies seemed stymied on this case. The Hlpplsley family doctor said that's what he thought lt was—the constant "aa-choolng" was due to Michael's "abnormal sensitivity to pollen dust" Cheats Death MIRROR „ „ n Mother Can-'t Of Your n . ; c x. L i I kin Replace rather MIM \J By Lawrence Gould HI Can mother take father's placet swer: No, however hard she may try, and however relieved father may be by the thought of dumping his responsibilities onto her shoulders, says Dr. Edward A. Strecker, author of "Their Mothers', Sons." For the fact remains that mother Is a female, and a child must learn to grow up In a world that's male AND female. "Your son needs a man around whom be can Imitate. You want him to glory In physical strength, learn to be aggressively fearless, re- sourceful. protective—In short, mas- culine. He will not learn that from his mother." " ~-ar- . Are nicknames bad for children? Answer: There Is no essential difference between a nickname and a "real" one If lt Is the name which the child comes to recog- nize as meaning himself. I know two or three men who would scarcely know whom you were speaking to If you addressed them by the names that are recorded on their birth certificates, and I can- not see lt has made any difference to them. But to give a'child a nickname that seems "cute" while he's a baby' but will sound ridicu- lous as he grows older may make his developing a normal self- esteem needlessly hard. Answer No, say statisticians of the U. S. Bureau of Labor, report- ing a survey of 2445 male a n d 1080 female workers In 34 different In- dustrial plants In this country.

If the food has been In the body for some time, then a dose of castor oil or Epsom salts should be' taken.

In addition to these causes, U is now known that Just ss emotional disturbances can increase the hejrt rate, raise the blood •pressure, cause stomach upsets and diar- rhoea, so can they cause hives other eruptions of the skin.
