Stassen, the newly appointed director of the Mutual Security Agency, is said to favor a Marshall Plan for Asia.

Most of the talk in Washington and political circles point to the bigness of the budget. It is huge, no\dpubt.

The First Day. of life Hqlds The Most Hazards for Infants

By HERMAN N. BUNOESEN, M.D. I *TT was as natural as breathi ing!” we often say. Yet the probJem of breathing is one of the h greatest hazards to life before we I are a day old. \ \ I Modern medical science has reduced the number of early deaths Until mail’s normal span of life has approached seventy. None of the hazards at various stages of, _ life, however, are more threateh- ■ Ing than those of the infant’s first day. In fact, if the death rate i\- tor the first day were to continue throughout life, the average life ' span of map would come to only, about three months. I ' Mortality Rate \ i'While mortality from contagious and other diseases has ’\ dropped very greatly, the mortality rate on the first day of life has not decreased too substanf tially in the past generation. About one out of every ninetythree babies bora now dies the first day. f One of the top reasons for these deaths, as pointed out ogist Dr. Edith Potter, U asphyxia from lack of oxygen. . I; As tong as the baby is growing lh his mother’s womb, he has no • difficulty because the mother supplies an his oxygen requirements. Upon birth, however, the *. baby has to take care of his own ‘j- oxygen needs by breathing. Lack of oxygen ; is responsible for sixty per bent of the deaths during the first hours of life, it Is believed. Sometimes the placenta, a tem-

The third Wilson heads a pump And machinery They are not related. Y'V Y .. x O ——O— A rising peril in -France is the jßpread of the neutralist \mbvefnent. The neutralists wish to have itb part in any quarrel be- „ tween the United States and Russia. They think, like many Americans, that in any world conflict they can go it alone, keeping Out .of , every unpleasantness. The neutralists are not, as might be Supposed, Communist sympathizers. The movement arises on the qther side of the fence, being an outgrowth of the rightist or reactionary groups. In present tottery economic .condition, the neutralists are strong enough to constitute a serioup menace. . .’fc.-'-. *- ' * “O" " (b ■ .■ - •! 1■ - A Veep Amendment:— ; A vice-president wlio moves up on the president’s death should be ’ Compelled to run for re-election within two years\of his accession. This proposal is made by Senator SmatlierS of Florida, with, the concurrence of Senator Fulbright of Arkansas. Senator Smathers plans to introduce a constitutional amendment to this effect. | . The idea behind the suggested move is that the : average vicepresident receives ' no from the voters, whose eyes On only:the head of the ticket. Few voters have ever heard of the vice-presidential candidates until tt»cir selecting. Certainly the Recent vfcApresidential candidates Were not considered as possible presidential nominees. r The suggestion would prevent the country from beipg stuck with an unwanted president for more tnan two years;-, At the same time has not happened ofjeiji. While the first four vice-presidents who gained. the higher office--through the death of their predecessors iweife not even renominated, the last' three, Thtbdore Roosevelt, L’b'olidge and Truman, were all eiected president! in' tjieir own

porary organ, linking the baby to the mother’s womb, becomes detached before the baby is born. This shuts off the oxygen supply to the baby. Damagin’ Effects . Anesthetics and drugs given to, ease the mother may also have . ,an effect on the baby, causing severe damage. Doctors know that the use of anesthetics should ino.t be overdone. It is well to relieve the mother’s pains, but not at the expense of a baby’s life. ? Hospitals are becoming more and more alert to this problem of asphyxia. They are supplying heated cribs with oxygen available for the newborns who have difficulty breathing on theit own. There are also specially constructed resuscitators — devices to help infants start breathing successfully when they seem unable to do so by themselves. These are very effective in saying the lives of many Infants who might otherwise have died. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS . F. A. M.: My girt, seven, is approximately 10 pounds overweight. Is it advisable to put such a young child on a diet? * Answer: It is not advisable for children to reduce until they have ' reached their full growth. However, the diet should contain an abundance of fruits, vegetables and milk, with smaller amounts ' of starches and sugars. In this 1 way, the child will receive \jthe •.necessary foods for maintaining health,, but will hot put on exces- • * Sive weight.

Funeral Held Today For William Green AFL Heads To Name Successor Tuesday COSHOCTON, 0., UP —William F. Gres®, president of 8,000,000 members of the American Federation of Labor, but just plain “Bin” in hir hometown, will |be buried today among the geptiy rolling hills of East-Central, Ohio where he once dug coal. After attending funeral services for the 82-year-old tabor leader who died at his home here Friday, 75 members of the AFL executive council and other union leaders will return to Washington to name a new chief Tuesday. “Simple services” were scheduled for 2 p.m„ at the Grace Methodist qhurch by Rev. John H. Shanley, Baptist minister and the Green family pastor, at the family’s request. The labor leader’s widow, Jennie Mobley Green, was not expected to attend on account of illness. Les Boyd, city editor of the Coshocton Tribune and a friend of the family, said Coshocton radio station WTfSS planned to tape record the service for Mrs. Green and possibly rebroadeast it later. Although Green was a Baptist, his funeral will be in the-Metho-dist church because it has a larger seating capacity, 80(1. Rev. ShanJey anticipated an overflow crowd of Ohioans and out-of-town dignitaries. :'' !■ j * ■ Y ■ ! The minister said he- had "no title” for “a series of things” he wanted to say at services for the man, who in his youth had wanted to become a Baptist preacher himself. He saici that aside from "sonie eulogy," his remarks would be >on “basic . Christian principles.’' - ! Officials at the Glass funeral home where GreenA body lay in state over the weekend. e»tihnated\ some 5,000 persons filed slowly past the bronze casket before the funeral. They also estimated about sjo,ooo worth of floral piecles lined the walls of three rooms, despite a family request to omit flowers. The family suggested instead that donations in Green’s memory be made !to local chapters, of the National Polio Foundation. | Philip AFL chief said secretary iof labor Maurice J. Tobin would represent President Truman at tlie funeral, and that Paul Herzog, chairman of the national labor relations board, would also be among prominent government and labor officials attending the services: i Six Coshocton men will carry Green to his final resting place in South Lawn Cemetery near the log cabin of hi* birth and not far from the old Morgan Run'mine where he once picked coal and later - became a unionist. Among the honorary pallbearers was George Meany, now', acting AFL president who 1 is expected to be chosen as Green’s successor Tuesday. . ‘
