It appears that Sen. f Taft has little the better in 'the campaign for delegates, but doubtful if hes ’ has a majority to name him on the first ballot. In this respect, the Taft strength might be thrown to Gen. MacArthur, who seems to be playing a cagey, game by supporting Taft and publicly opposed to Gen. Eisenhower. If MacArthur becomes the convention keynoter, anything might happen in the GOP convention next July. Hi ' -O O The.thought of spring evidently mellowed Congressman Adair and h«3 writes of Washington as a place that tourists might want to Visit. He gives the following sparkling paragraph: "One of the annual events looked forward to in Washington and throughout the nation is the Cherry BJossom festival. Spring is a beautiful sear son in the nation’s capital. Therfe i.s no more 1 beautify sight than Washington with the cherry trees in bloom. Thousands of persons throing the city for the event. To furnish added entertainment for; the visitors this spring a five-day " festival is planned. It will be held from April 2 to 6.

The Rh Factor-What Happens When A Mother Is "Negative"

By HERMAN M. BUNDESEN, M.D. RH IS the name given to a pro-tein-llke substance normally present in the blood of 85 per cent of ah people. Persons who have this substance in their blood are Rh positive. The 15 per cent wlth- , oat It are Rh negative. When a mother is Rh, negative, and a father Rh positive, their ’ child may be either positive or negative. If it is negative, there are no complications, and the infant will be normal. • Recomes Sensitized However, if the child is Rh positive, the negative mother becomes sensitized to the Rh substance which passes into her ’ Mood from the child. She then bußdg up antibodies in her own body and these pass over into the funtaily In the first one or two cregaaneUa tb< antibodies built up do not affect the child. On the' : efenrd, third, or following preg-’ nancies, however, antibodies are bdlt up which may destroy the baby’* Blood ceils. This produces I Rh baby, ofie suffering from erytfiroma*tos|s.

The Reds will probably conscript 75 divisions, but that is a job for them to do, for manpower iii the Soviet*Union is just as valuable as in other countries of the world; The race for armies and bigger bombs may 'some day bring all nations to understanding and instead of raising armies, we’ll learn how to live in | in p.. ' 'I fl : A Good President Truman hps made few more' popular appointments than that ;of Lt. General James Doolittle to head a commission to investigate air safety. The appointment was prompted by the three recent drashes at Elisabeth, N.J., which brought fear to all people who reside near great ai.i* ports. The Doblittle Wtil investigate the accidents and make recompiendations for improving the safety of cities located near airfields.

Only one pregnancy in every 450 results in a child with erythroblastosis. s , Usually, babies with this disorder are helped greatly by transfusions with Rh negatives blood.

Exchange Transfusions i| Some cases in which the disorder is severe, require exchange transfusions. The child’s blood is removed, and at the same time replaced by Rh negative blood.

W. |Lu\ecke, manager of the Fort Wayne social security, office, said today. Luecke Continued, “Many selfemployed people seem to think coverage under the program is voluntary. This is not true. If a person is g sole owner or a partner in a trade or business and has self-employment net earnings of |4OO or more during 1951, the law requires that he must repprt his ra’.njngs and pay the social security tax on or before March 15 of this year. Only self-emplbyment earnings up to $3600 a year count towards bld-age and survivors insurance. The federal income tax form will have a special section tor making this report. j ’ “Equally ; important,” Luecke added.

CHAPTER FOURTEEN THE INSPECTOR walked over to th. window, stared down into the street below. “I can’t stop you from trying to crack this thing by yourself, Liddell. All 1 can do is tell you to\ be careful. These boys play for keeps.” ' I .\ id Liddell nodded. “So do I.” Herlehy turned from the window, walked back to his desk. “I’ll help you all I can, but that doesn't mean that I won't bear down hard if you get trigger happy. We understand each other?” "We understand each other,” Liddell told him. He consulted his watch, grunted. “I’d better get on the bicycle, inspector. I’ve got a couple of other spots to make this afternoon.” “Wfe’vi got a couple of other spots to make," Muggsy corrected him. / \ He started to argue, decided it was a lost cause, shrugged. “Okay, so we’ve got a couple of spots to make. That means we’d better get going.” i e• • [ The house was an old dilapidated tenement in a row of shabby buildings of similar vintage off Houston Street in the shadow of the old el. Johnny Liddell ied Muggsy Kiely into the dim vestibule, down the corridor to the door at the far end. He knocked, heard the sound of a panel sliding in the door. The voice was old, raspy. “Yeah?” “It's Liddell. I want to see the Dummy.” I The panel scraped shut and after a moment the door creaked \opea. The room beyond was in darkness, but as soon as the door swung Shut behind them a dim light went on. di ‘ i . i The, doorman was a thin, shriveled man in a collaricss shirt. When he grinned, his toothless gums gleamed pink in the light. '‘Dummy's kind of tied up, Liddell,” he said, "but he says come up and wait.” - j Liddell nodded. “You know Muggsy Kiely? Jim Kiely’s kid.** The old man leered. “Knowed ! her fever since she was a kid, when her old man used to be a police reporter on the downtown beat.” He nodded toward the: stairs in the. rear. “You better be getting up. The Dummy don’t like to be kept waiting.” Liddell led the way up a flight of iron stairs in the rear % of the apartment, came out in a huge room. The windows had been boarded over; there was no trace of the original partitions that separated die rooms, Along: the walls, a group of dejected, bearded men lay sprawled in varying: positions. They stared incuriously at the , newcomers. “Dummy’s office is up kt the other end," Liddell explained. ’ They walked the tength of the mom, entered an unpaintpd wooden

' “Dummy must be putting some of his new students through paces,” Liddell muttered. “Ever! see the routine, Muggs?” The girl Shook her head. “Heard; about it, but I’ve never seen it." Liddell walked over to the far wall, felt around the moulding until he located a cleverly hidden' switch. He pressed it, stood aside while a camouflaged panel slid open. He stuck his head through, then withdrew it, motioned for Muggsy to join him. Below, the entire floor of the house had been converted into a large auditorium. A group of ragged men, similar to the group waiting in the outer room, each with a sign prbclaiming “Blind" or "Deaf and Dumb” around their neck, were practicing. "So that’s Dummy's .school for beggars ?” Muggsy whispered. "How does it wopk?” Liddell grinned. “He's training them so they won’t be shown up as fakers and hurt the profession.” He pointed to a group wearing the “Deaf and Dumb" signs. “Sec •those dummies? He keeps them practicing until they can have a gun shot off behind them without flinching before he assigns them a beat." Muggsy shook her head. “A school for beggars! What away to make a living!” Liddell slid the panel shut “It’s like anything else. Begging has to be organized. Dummy not only trains them, but maps out their beats so they won’t be running all over each other.” He dropped onto one of the rickety chairs; which creaked ominously under: his weight. “That makes the Dummy a very handy guy to knov> sometimes.” " ~ “Why? Business so bad in the detective line you’re figuring on making a bid for a beab?” i Liddell grunted. “That could be, too. But with all his| boys Covering the city like a blanket, Dummy has thousands of eyes all over town. After all, who pays any attention to a beggar—particularly a blind beggar?" Muggsy found a cigarct in her purse, lit it. “That’s why you were so suse you could get faster results than Hcrlehy*s 18,006 trained men, eh ?” ! : J Id “Why not ? The guy I’ni after is most likely to be hanging out in dives and honkytonks where no self-respecting policeman would be caught dead.” He reached over, snugged Muggsy’s cigarets, dumped one out for himself, settled back to wait- d, ’ j .. ' They hadn’t long to: wait. After a few minutes the panel slid open and the Dummy miiiced in. He was almost unbelievably fit, the rolls under Ids chin wagging from side to side as he walked, a canca-
