The two men who seem to be running the show in Washington are Sen. Joe ‘McCarthy and Sen. William Langer. We wonder if they consider themselves a team. — o The unfounded accusations and charges made against Chief Justice Warren were unfair and malicious. So were the vicious smears spread by prominent persons against Gen. George Marshall and Dean Acheson. O We don’t blame the women of Yasoo City. Miss., for protesting the painting of their court house yellow. The women objected to the color scheme and the county supervisors then changed the color to grey, leaving them with $4,500 worth of yellow paint on hand. —o How sincere is the administration in the gesture to give the people a reduction In income taxes? The house ways and meqns committee voted down the easy plan of increasing individual exemptions this year and a cut in excise taxes. In the meantime the committee is preparing ■ 4 an 800-page report on the tax problem, ft isn’t reading that the burdened taxpayer wants, but tax relief. o o Former Gov. Henry Schricker win be a speaker at a Lutheran rally ih Fort Wayne Sunday, and launch a campaign in behalf of the Lutheran child welfare association. Mr. Schricker, who retired as governor in 1953, is in good health and maintains a keen interest in ntxte "Wurße Has. announced several times that he is not a candidate for any office and merely wants to rest at his home in Knox. His friends in Adams and Allen counties will be happy to greet him on his visit to this area. _o—o- . Secretary of Labor Mitchell assures the country that the levelling off of business and employment is about over and that the future trend should be stable. He does not expect an increase in employment for several months, (but hopes that unemployment will not go higher. The economy of the country should improve •with spring business and construction projects. If the leaders in Washington can help the situation, now is the time for them to pump new blood into a sagging structure.

—. ■ Treating Painful Emotions

By HERMAN N. BUNOESEN, M.D. . EMOTIONAL conflicts are often harder to bear and harder to cure than many purely physlca! ailments. » An obstacle in achieving emotional maturity is the fact that nearly every Individual suffers from some form of persistent emotional disturbance at some time or another. These are known medically as painful emotions, and persons suffering from these disturbances are almost constantly seeking satisfactory ways of treating their pain. Bodily Reactions A person may develop various types of bodily reactions to satisfy or compensate for the mental conflicts that exist within himself.. These are conflicts be- ' tween what hje wants to do, and what he feels he ought to do. This often is a problem of huge proportions for the patient. Emotional pain can be just as severe as physical pain to the person who has it, and even more alarming because the Individual cannot always deal with It i Excessive Werey Some persons react to their emotional conflicts by developing an anxiety or a tendency toward excessive worry. They may have a generalized uneasiness of the body. U ..... Other people develop fear re-

Indiana Inventory:— A listing of manufacturers, processors and wholesalers in the state has been made by the Indiana State Chamber of Commerce in a new industrial directory. I Indiana stacks up well in the Industrial and business picture. More than 10,500 manufacturers, processors and wholesalers are located In Hoosierland. In 600 Indiana communities the directory lists: 526 banks; 120 airports, 4 seaplane bases. 125 bus lines, 265 truck operating inI terstate, 114 truck lines operating intrastate, 578 civic luncheon clubs, 91 daily newspapers, I 269 weekly newspapers, 55 radio stations, 10 television stations, 25 railroads with 6,500 miles of main track and more than 12,000 miles of total trackage. In addition the state has wonderful schools, churches, civic centers and some of the best farm land in the world. With a population exceeding four million, it ranks tops in the nation. o o Idea Os Brotherhood:This is National Brotherhood > wek and the following: story from Toledo, Ohio, well illustrates the idea of brotherhood. On a twenty acre plot .n a residential part of the city, workmen are putting up a new Catholic school, a Jewish synagogue, and a park which will belong to all the people. / The Owens-Illinois Glass company owned the land and wanted to sell it. The -Ursuline Sisters •wanted the land for a new school. A Jewish congregation saw the site as ideal for their new place of worship. The city of Toledo •wanted it as a public park. The situation could have led to a bitter three-cornered fight Instead the parties concerned met to discuss a compromise. The nuns decided that they needed only eleven acres. The Jewish group cut down the estimate of their needs. All was settled with good will and mutual respect Then the Rabbi announced that his congregation had decided to pay for all the land and present the nuns their portion as a gift. The company selling the land cut the original purchase plan in half. There will be no fences separating the synagogue from the land occupied by the school and the park—just as there can be no real fences separating the hearts of good men, whatever faiths they profess. ■

actions In which they greatly fear certain situations. Others, because of persistent self-doubt, follow certain ritualistic behaviors. GoM examples of this are the people who constantly carry out the same type of action day after day, because it suits their personality best. Other people become greatly depressed because of conflicts and sink into a shell in which they may remain for years. Recently, certain psychiatrists . have used, with some success, an inhalation treatment with a mixture of carbon dioxide and oxygen for the patient who suffers ; from this type of neurosis. For Permanent Cure Talking over the problems with the physician or psychiatrist, along with the mixture of carbon dioxide and oxygen procedure, is 1 advocated in order that some form of permanent cure may be effective. ' Treatments with this gas are ■ given three times weekly at the : start, and may have to be con--1 tinued for many months; It is a relatively harmless process and frequently helps the patient with • mental and emotional conflicts to resolve his difficulty, t 377 - QUESTION AND ANSWER ► S. R.: Is there any difference in i the blood of different races? Answer: No, there is no detectable difference. - . . i-

Safely Foundation Plan Is Endorsed Foundation Planned On Traffic Safety INDIANAPOLIS UP — Governor Craig today endorsed plans I for a private, non-political Indiana I traffic safety Foundation to develop the public's role in making [ highways safer. The proposed foundation was ani nounced late Wednesday during a day-long annual meeting of three I traffic safety groups. Comparing ' notes were the governor’s traffic safety committee, legislative study commission, and traffic safety advisory board. William P. Cooling outlined the foundation on behalf of the advisory group. He said it would inject "continuity" into the traffic safety program which “is not possible on ■ the political level.” i Donations will to run the $60,000-a-year’foundation. Craig said such "organized citizen action is vital to produce real results.” During the day, the group heard reports and recommendations from numerous sources. Among them: Louis Moroney, an official of .the ■ automotive safety foundation. He criticized Indiana’s “irregular” suspensions of driver’s licenses, said 1 all motorists—not just “bad” onei —should be subject to examlnatioif at any time, and said when motorists purchase license plates there > is too much attention on property tax payments and not enough on ability to drive. . ' Albert Wedeking. state highway chairman. Jle said Indiana has hundreds of narrow bridges creat- ■ ing traffic hazards because when k-tbe state highway agrees, to take ■ over county roads, with them it i gets inadequate bridges. He estimated it would cost 100 million dollars to widen all narrow bridges I in the state. 1 .Frank Jessup, state police super1 intendent. He said the number of arests for moving traffic violations increased 58 per cent last year.

0 i 20 Years Ago Today o Feb. 25, 1934 was Sunday. Atomic Scientists Make New Element Argonne Laboratory Announces Element CHICAGO, UP —A new element, the 100th building block of the universe, has been produced by atomic scientists. The element, named merely Element 100 f, was not discovered in tbe true sense of the Word. It had never existed in nature. The Argonne Laboratory, located near Chicago, announced Wednesday night that the element was produced in an atomic energy commission testing reactor in Idaho by bombarding the element Plutonium with neutrons. _/ The finished product was similar in chemical properties to Erbiumj Element No,. 68 and one of the rare earth elements. Elements are substances which cannot be separated into substances different from themselves by ordinary chemical means. Alone, or in combination with other elements, they compose every material substance. Oxygen, car- • bon and iron are examples of common elements. As yet there la noHcnown use for the new element, the Argonne •scientists said. Although Element 100 was produced at the Idaho reactor it Was laboratory work at Argonne that was responsible for the chemical separation. measurement -and which established the identity of the "element. The research work has not been de classified; dr removed from secret status: . The new element was the second to be produced by atomic sci- ■ ence. Element 99 was the first.

State Still Seeks Atterbury Hospital Lease Provisions Outlined By Army INDIANA POOS UP — Governor Craig wrote army officials today in an attempt to erase two conditions now preventing Indiana from leasing Wakeman hospital at Camp .Atterbury. One condition might prevent its use for old mental patients, which the state had considered. Craig agreed to all but two of eight lease provisions outlined late Wednesday by Col. Fred C. Dyer, representative of the sth army. Dyer said the army is willing to turn the hospital over to the state on 'March 31 under a lease which could be revoked on 30 days’ notice should the installation later become "essential” to army requirements. Indiana also was offered cold storage facilities and perhaps warehouses when they become available. Craig differed with the army on two provisions: That the state should pay rent “commensurate” with value of the hospital and that the hospital be used "only as a i general hospital .. . not as an asylum, sanitarium or similar facility." i The governor told Brig. Gen. Joseph Twitty, sth army chief of Staff, by telephone—and repeated it in his letter —that: 1. Indiana would like to lease the hospital for 31 a year, feeling that a $200,000 to $300,000 yearly cost of maintenance -would be proper "rent.” 2. Indiana has no “general hospital" program and would use the
