The case for re-enacting the reciprocal trade relations act, as Urged by President Eisenhower, is very simple. The European countries must hnport goods either from the United States or from Russia. If we make it unduly costly to buy from us, they will have to deal with the Rus-\ sians. Do we want this? Before the presidential yatch, Williamsburg, is placed in mothballs, President Eisenhower decided to take a cruise in the i famous ship. He steamed through Chesapeake Bay, visited Norfolk ° and then headed north "to Annapolis, following his visit to the city - of Williamsburg. A tew more trips on the luxury liner might change the President’s ? opinion about ocean travel and the opportunity it offers him for relaxation while on a cruise. 0 o Turning over federal activities to the states seems a popular idea just now, but it may give the states a headache. If Uncle Sam • gets out of these activities, they will have to carry them on at i their own expense. It has been * ' estimated that in 1952 Washington paid out no less than $2,400,000,000 to the 48 states for projects ranging from old age assist'1 1 I ance and road building to school : lunches. Are the states rdady to ■ finance these projects if Uncle Sam drops them?

- Allergic Diseases of the Ear

By HERMAN N. BWmSEN, M.D. ALLERGY of the ear is something new to many people who think of allergy In connection with hay fever, asthma, or skin eruptions. Now that we have better control over other ear diseases, we are becoming more aware of some of the ear allergies. Most adults can remember the time when ear diseases and mastold operations were considered extremely dangerous. The reason was that middle ear Infections, or Inflammation of the mastoid '* bone, if allowed to progress, could cause meningitis (Inflammation of the spinal cord), brain abt scess, or severe hemorrhage. Less es a Problem Many people who had ear infections were seriously ill and : their lives were endangered. However, with the discovery of the sulfonamide drugs, penicillin and the newer antibiotics, when properly used, ear infections became less and less of a problem. Very few complications set in because the infections could be successfully controlled with these wonder drugs. Mastoid operations, on<w very common, are practically a rarity today. Allergies, however, are not, as a rule, due to infections with germs, and do not yield to these new remedies. / Major Causes The majority of the cases of

. • '•• • T VIPresident Eisenhower is recognized as a statesman and his background supports his Americanism and patriotism. No American doubts his sincerity and his desire to keep this country strong and free. In his speech at William and Mary College, where he received an honorary degree, the _ President gave an inkling to the pressure that is rolling up in Washington among selfish groups who only see America as a “pot of gold.” He advised the college students not to look at citizenship as does the selfish person who says, “Os course I like liberty . . . and If you don't charge me more than 15 percent of my income, I would like to keep it.” President Eisenhower is learning something about politics. I . 1 ; o—o— Oatis Is Freed:— The release ’of William “Bill” Oatis, American newsman ana Associated Press correspondent from a Czechoslovakia prison is thC best news that this gauntry has received since the Japanese surrender. The: 39-year-old reporter, a native of Marion, Indiana, spent two yegrs and 23 days in prison, following his "conviction’ 1 by a Czech *court on a espionage charge. No American believed he was a spy. Oatis is a reporter who wrote the truth, which incensed the Red leaders in CzechoL Slovakia. His arrest,, and tion followed, because Communist courts and,rulers do not believe in a free press. The romantic side in connection with his unexpected release is that a letter from Oatis* wife caused Antonin Zapotocky, new president of Czechoslovakia to consider th,e American’s case and free him from prison. There may be other reasons, not yet revealed *■ . . from Moscow. \ If Mrs. Oatis’ letter was the deciding factor, then this country is wasting time with diplomats and state department threats. We commend her for her achievement. The former Hoosier newsman will have a place in history, as well as an experience that will contribute to his fame as a writer arid correspondent. * The nation will receive Oatis with open arms and celebrate his return to this country'.

edr allergy are due to oversensitivity to house dust and food. Many cases of eczema of the outer ear are also due tn an allergy. Many times. If drugs and certain cosmetics are avoided, the eczema will also disappear. When there is a drainage from the ear and pain persists despite ,■ all methods of treatment, an allergic cause for the difficulty should be sought An examination of the ear secretions under the microscope will reveal a certain type of cell that Is typical at an allergic disease. Allergen Determined Skin tests then have to be made to determine what.substance the person may be allergic to. Once this allergen is found, the person can oe desensitized to it, or steps can be taken to protect the person from coming into contact with It. Allergic ear diseases can progress and cause deafness. Therefore it is important to clear them up as soon as passible. QUESTION AND ANSWER B. C.: Does keeping food hot for several hours destroy its nutritive value? Answer: Heat will destroy certain nutritive values of food, such as certain vitamins. If kept hot for a long period of time, the food would lose even more of this vitamin value.

CHAPTER FIFTEEN I WANTED nothing from Margo, nothing hut her good will. “You can get bruised that way,” 1 said. “Sometime a man will step aside and give the flodr a break.” 1 don’t think she heard a word. She slipped her arms around my neck, put her open mouth against mine and 1 felt suddenly caught and .smothered in something sweet and ’warm, but with a sickness running through it. f > I started to push her away from me, but she lowered her wacky head onto my shoulder and began to giggle. 1 “What's funny?" I said. “Nothing.” : : \\‘ She raised her head, still grinning, and kissed me hard on the lipa 1 tried to break the grip of her arms around my neck, but it wasn’t easy. Firstly, she was impressively strong, and secondly her round hard body was fitted into mine like a baseball in a catcher’s mitt. 1 could have kneed her in the groin or sunk a fist into her stomach, but I didn’t want to hurt her; she wasn’t for me by a country mile, but she was still too nice to spoil Finally, 1 dug my thumbs into her ribs and screwed them around until she shrieked and jerked her arms away from my neck. 1 pushed her back onto her feet. “That’s your subtle approach, I suppose,” 1 said. “What’re you mad about?” “Nothing.” I wiped her lipstick from my mouth with the back of my hand. “What’s the idea?” I said. i V '• “Don’t be so grim. I just kissed you good night, big boy. 1 like fun people. Keep that in mind.” I decided she was a moron,,a half-wit, or something even less appealing, and 1 walked out on her and went back to the cab. She was still laughing at me, and I couldn’t shake the memories of her. “Where to?” the driver said. I gave him the Sycamore Street address, the place where Mike Kelly hung out, and then settled backhand lit a cigaret with fingers that were still trembling slightly. The driver glanced back at me when he pulled up for a light. “Pardon the expression. Mister, but that's some dame." He shook his head and whistled. “Yeah, some dame,” I said. The Sycamore Street address was a six-story 'brownstone house about three blocks from the lake, in a neighborhood of small night clubs, antique shops and other tall brownstones which stared across the street at each other with the seedy dignity of departed grandeur. In the tiled foyer, which was dirty and smelled unpleasantly of some disinfectant, there were no name plates under the mail boxes, but above them a penciled inscription read: “Insight Magazine, 6-A. Deliver all goods in front, as a friend and equal!" Here was social protest, I thought. Bring the downtrodden delivery boy into the parlor, make an ideological pet out of him. Don’t tip film, of course. That’s insulting to his innate dignity and also runs up expenses. The inner door was unlocked. I went up five flights of uncarpeted stairs and knocked on the door numbered 6-A. Inside, there were party noises. Music, an occasional laugh and a woman Kinging The

door opened and a young man in a sweat shirt stared at me, blinking. “I was a friend of Janey Nelson’s," I said. “Well,” he said, talking around the cigaret in his mouth. He stared at me a moment, looking as if he couldn't care less about me or my problems, and then wandered back into the apartment, leaving the door open. 1 walked into a lohg high-ceilinged room, illuminated by a singje naked electric bulb. The walls were plastered in white, ; and had beep cracking since the days of the Great Fire. Eight -or ten people saL pn the floor around a record player, staring absorbedly at the spinning platter. The music was jazz, loud and intense, and it bounced flat and hard from the cracked ceiling to the uncarpeted floor. There was very little furniture to break up the hollow echoing blasts, and what there was looked as if it had picked iip after a rummage sale. Fruit crates loaded with bdoks sagged against the walls, and there were empty bottles and cigaret stubs on the floor. The tew pictures were what I suppose you call Party Line Aft: a laborer bound to a machine, a Negro being clubbed by cops, things like that. No one paid much attention to me, so 1 sat down on a brokenbacked chair and lit a cigaret. The crowd at the record player was an unattractive collection. Old men with sullen defeated expressions, youngsters ot both sexes who looked as if they were enjoying a vast engulfing unhappiness. One old goat massaged the bare knee of a girl who sat cross-legged beside him, and another old goat watched him with a quivering little smile. The girl looked bored to death. j , The young man who had let me in was sitting on the sofa now with a blonde who wore a smart black cape and a page boy’s round hat tilted on the side ot her small childish head. A red tassel from her hat swung back and forth past her ear as she nodded slowly to the music. The young man in the sweat shirt was swearing at her in a low savage voice. She kept nodding to the musio, listening gravely. Her face was intelligent and vulnerable. She was about eighteen. I wondered angrily why in the name of God she didn’t clear out of here and go home. 1 stood up and turned into a brightly lighted hallway which ran the length of the flat. A door stood open on my left and I looked into a bedroom In which a solidly built blonde was lying on a couch with an arm thrown over her eyes. She was all alone, breathing heavily. I sat down beside her and shook her hip gently. “Yeah?” Her voice-was bleary. The arm came down from her face and she blinked at me. “Yeah? What is it?” She Was about thirty-five, with a short poodle cut and a drooping disappointed mouth. She was built for distance not speed; her body, which was hard as India rubber under my hand, looked as functional as a fire plug. “I’m a friend of Janey Nelson’s,” 1 said. “Can 1 get you a drink?” “That doesn’t follow. Don’t bother. You were a friend of Janey’s, eh ?” “Yes, did you know her?” “Sura. She wa* no good.” ' j

Two Are Fined Here On Traffic Counts Two dollars in fines were handed out in mayor’s and justice of the peace courts in the last three days for traffic violations. Paul B.

“1 had another impression." “I’ll bet.” This was tougher than Td thought It would be, but 1 kept that from showing in my face. This had nothing to do with Janey. This was a game between me and the men who’d killed her, an impersonal little chess problem. “Why didn’t you. like her?" I said. “She was no good.” * “You said that” wfsfF “What’s it to you?” . “She was a natural blonde. Is that what bothered you?”’ She grinned tiredly.. "Oh, boy, psychology. Janey was a phony, a snob, a holier-than-thou slummer. That’s all. That’s why she liked Smoky's. It gave her*h chance to high-hat the hgve-nota; while pre* tending she bled for them, I like ’em myself, and I’m working for ’em, but 1 don’t go hanging around their joints just to make 'em uncomfortable.” “Smoky’s? That’s out West, isn’t it?” I said. “No. South. Fifty-first Street Look, question mark, didn’t you say something about a drink ?“ “Yeah. You said not to bother." “That was a fool thing to say. Look, go down the hall and try tc find a bottle. Maybe Somebody’s passed out without finishing one. It’s worth a try.” I had just got to my feet when ft tall intense young man stormed Into the room. He had a long angular face, deep gray eyes, and something of the fanatic in his manner. “Dell, baby,” hi* shouted at the blonde on the “Dell, listen to me. There was,somebody at the front door a while back, saying he was a friend of Janey’s.” The blonde laughed. “Sure, there he is,” she said, and, pointed at me. « The tall character wheeled around, and gave me the quee-over. There was a Utile silence while he squared his shoulders and put a tough look on his face. He took his time, too much of ft, getting the pose right. Then he said, “All right, what do you want?” He bobbed his head for some reason, emphasis maybe, and a lock of dirty brown hair feU across his forehead. “Now look, buddy, ’ don't get gay.” “Who’re you?” “The name is Mike Kelly,” Mike Kelly—that the writer Janey had been working,with, according to the red-head’s story. “Mike Kelly,” I said. I raised both eyebrows. “The writer 1 ?” ’ “I’m surprised you know the name. Not many people do, of course.” We were going to be talking literature pretty soon, so I said, “Well, I’ve seen it around. You’re in all the pulps, right?” That brought him back to reality. “A joker, eh?” He restored the tough look to his face as laboriously and carefuUy as a man applying grease paint, and then jerked a thumb at the door. “Out of here, and fast,” he said, snap* ping the words from the corner of his mouth. “Oh, stop it,” I said. “Let’s be honest. You're not a tough guy. You’re bluffing. Now relax. I want to talk with you?’ .\ |! "Out, you punk!” he yelled. "That double-croesing dame has caused me enough trouble.

12 More MiG's Shot Down By Allied Planes California Pilot First Triple Jet Ace With 16 Kills SEOUL, Korea. UP ' — Sabre jet pilots shot down 12 MIG-15’s today with Capt. Joseph McConnell bagging three to run his “kills” to 16 and make him undisputed king of the, Korea skies. I The (Sabres tangled with the Russian-made supersonic jets for the sixth straight day and ran their total during that time to 36 kills. McConnell, of Apple Valley, Callt 'became the world’s first triple jet ace by downing MKI No, 15 on hig first of two missions of the day. He returned later to get his 16th. One of the two MiG’s he sent plummeting to earth was disallowed temporarily for lack of -evidence. But the: air force later reinstated McConnell's claim. McConnell and his wingman had encountered 28 (MiG’s on the morning mission and were too busy at the time to see whetlier the plane in question ever hit the ground. Ip raising his claimjto 16 kills and three damaged, McConnell shot past hispid gunnery teacher, Capt/ Manuol Fernandez, in the jet killing derby. Fernandez had bagged 14. Just (before McConnell went up for the second the air force retired Fernandez, of Miami, Fldr-from flight status. Fernandez earlier had received permission to fly 25 more missions, blit, the air force decided to retire him now and send’ him back to the United States where he may pass along his knowledge to other jet pilots. McConnell said he had set himself. a goal of 16 MIGs. I ! “One is for my wife, one for my, one for each of my kids, two girls and a boy, one for luck and JO mbfe just to make it a round figure.” McConnell said.
