Charges may |be filed against several leading/business firms for conlributing/o the “Joo Must Go” fund, an unsuccessful movement designed to recall Sen. McCarthy from the senate. Under state law it is a violation for firms to donate to political funds and presumably the pro-McCarthyites are snooping around for a list of donors. The affair may develop into another investigation. o o The campaign for one million pennies, ($10,000) is succeeding in Bluffton.

The crowd was tremendous and the bill of fare was all that a county fair could include. For fear that bis “polished boy friend,” Charlie McCarthy • might throw a monkey-wrench in- ._ to the steam engines, Bergen left his famous side-kick at home. o o- —— The affectionate title' of Indiana’s “Mother of Democracy” could be conferred on Mrs. Sam--1 uel M.

Cesarean Section Holds Risks to Mother, Infant

By HERMAN N. BUNBESEN, M. CESAREAN section seems like such an easy answer to the problem of labor pains to some people. With the increasing ability of our surgeons, and the progress of surgery, anesthesia, and the antibiotics, nwy nwmen wonder why they must be put through the difficulty of tabor when a Cesarean section would prove a much easier way for them to have their babies. Cesarean section, or removal of the baby by abdominal incision, is now a reasonably safe procedure. But ft has been found that the mortality rate for both mother and infant is increased when compared with statistics on the normal method of de'livery. The mother who has undergone a Cesafsan section faces increased danger of a ruptured uterus in a future pregnancy, due to the weakeafo* of the wall of „ the womb. Many Problems Babies delivered by Cesarean section have more difficulty in starting to breathe. They develop more complications than chil- * drrn born naturally. Normal delivery gives the baby a certain - stimulus towards breathing. A Cesarean section also limits, in

teewoman from Indiana and her friends throughout the state were legion. — 0 One of the decisive battles of the Spanish-American war was fought on July 1, 1898, at San Juan Hill to Cuba. It was here that the regiment of volunteer cavalry known as the Rough Riders, under the leadership of Teddy Roosevelt, covered itself with glory, in the years that have followed the war, Americans have fought in battles so much larger that the memory of the fight in Cuba has grown dim. But the face of death in battle is the same face whether you look at it from San Juan Hill, in the woods at the Argonne, through the bombsight of a plane over Germany, on Bataan or in Korea. We must not forget the men who fought in the Spanish-American War. They were willing to die for their country. -—o ——o— — Fo/se Economy:— The Congressional Library, established in 1800, ranks today as one of the greatest in the world. In the last 10 years alone, private individuals have donated personal papers and historic documents worth $6,000,000 to the library, which is widely used by scholars and laymen as well as , by congressmen and their research workers. Despite the fact that demands upon the library are constantly increasing, the house voted to cut ’ not only proposed increases in its budget but operating expenses as well. This means that the library will have to cut back some of its present—and eveib profitable —operations. The catalog card service, sub- • scribed to by most libraries throughout the nation, brought in a net profit last year of $1,037,000, which was paid to the treasury. Its budget was slashed by $308.000. The Copyright office turned over some $865,000 it collected in fees. Funds for this department were reduced by SIOO,OOO. Library salaries, already low, will have to remain at their present levels, meaning that some personnel will be forced to resign, because of the budget cuts. • This is not true economy, but rather a political gesture. Most congressmen assume that their constituents are not concerned over the fate of this national library, one of America’s greatest storehouses of culture. It true economy in view of the millions of dollars spent on porkbarrbl legislation.

many instances, the number oi children a woman can have. There are certain cases, of course, where this procedure Is necessary. It should not be dons because of fear of pain alone. When Indicated . When there is a disproportion between the size ’of the baby and the opening it must go through; when there is a toxemia or severe infection; when there M early separation of the afterbirth or where the afterbirth is lying in the path of the oncoming baby, or when there Is any other such complication, a Cesarean section is usually warranted. However, it should not be performed on the whim of the patient. Hospitals throughout the country now confine this operative procedure'only to those cases Where it is tru|r necessary.» QUESBON AMP AMSWQ L. S.: Can a tuberculous mother give tuberculosis to her infant by breast feeding it? Answer; The breast feeding itself will net give the baby tuberculosis. However, the tuberculous mother, by her close contact with the infant can give the infant the infecUon.

JOaN seemed not to hear. She just sat there, looking at Todd, her disappointment so deep and tetter she could not find words. “Darling, I guess I didn't say it right. Let me try again. You see, this is the thing. I'm responsible, now, not only for myself but for you, 100. I’m glad to be.

The sun was bright, the air was golden clear, and in her reconciliation with Todd, in her anticipated pleasure of buying long-dreamed-of furniture tor their home, and in her unexpected escape from the close surveillance of her mother-in-law, she felt ah upsurge of light-hearted joyousness. She went not only to Riverdale but on further into Sussex county and then around in a big circle to Clifton. At every place she took careful and copious notes on the pieces that interested her, and before she knew it the noon whistles were sounding over the country. It did not matter. There was nothing calling her back. She would Just get a sand* wlch and » coke at some drug store and return at her leisure.

When a eouple have been invited to a wedding reception and have accepted, and the husband suddenly finds he has to be out of town on a business trip, would it be all right for the woman to attend the reception with her teenage son in his place? A. Certainly, this would be all right. Q. Should a woman, whose hus band is the honored speaker at a dinner, applaud with the others when he has finished his speech? A. Yee; but she should applaud briefly.

When she finally reached the manse again, it was well past two o’clock. The house was silent around her and for this she felt relief. Mother Hunter muet be ouL i Approaching the living room, which she had left in baste and disorder after the stormy breakfast scene with Todd, she thought to herself that she probably should have returned here first and tidied up before going off on her hunt for antiques. She had not even put away the margarine and milk. No doubt the margarine was soup by now and the milk sour. But, if so, she did not care. She felt so much better after her outing that she could forgive herself tor this careless bit of extravagance. She felt calm and cool and happy. She felt restored to herself once more. At the open door she came to an ' abrupt halt in surprise and consternation. Everything had been cleared away. The card table was folded up and put in tts place, the , crumbs had been dumped out of i the toaster and it Was standing all shiny and cle a n on the tray stand Even Todd's ash tray had been emptied and washed. ”1 might have Known!” she said to herself with a sinking bearish e moved slowly into the kitchen. Here. too. mother Hunter had been busy. Not a dirty dish to be seen. The counters had been scoured, tl.e dish cloth hung up to air and the towels to dry. Joan opened the refrigerator door. Yes, the margarine and milk were , there. I It was then that she saw the note propped up against the coffee cannister. Reaching for it, she read: "Joartle, dear. I heard you go out and when you didn’t come back 1 thought I had better take care ot things for you before they spoiled. Don't forget this is the day the Garden club meets tor its annual luncheon. It's to be over at the Gray Beeches Country club and Dm counting on you to take me there. Mother Hunter. J “P.B. It’s noon now and you're not here yet 1 do wish you would let me know when you’re going off like this. .1 don’t know how to plan. It's most upsetting. Besides, I would have loved to have gone with you.” Joan stood very still while the hot wind of a familiar rebellion blew away all her calm coolness. Why did mother Hunter have to come snooping up here, anyway? She had heard the car go out and had seen Joan in iL She mpst haVe. They had gone right by her kitchen window. It was true that she had completely forgotten about the Garden club luncheon and her promise to drive mother Hunter to it She probably shouldn’t have—but she had. Bo what? Surely there were plenty of people willing to take the minister's wife! All she had had to do was telephone someone, just the way she used to before > Joan married Todd. ' As to that last line— “I would have loved to have gone with you.” Oh, Joan knew that ,all right! She did not need to be reminded. (To Be Continued) J / ’ '

American Woman Tells Os Guatemalan Revolt

(Editor’s note: A 31-year-old Minneapolis woman is one of a handful of persons to leave strife-torn Guatemala since the fighting began. Miss Barbara Hovey, an insurance underwriter caught tn the Latin American nation during a tw'o-week vacation jaunt, tells pt her experience.) By BARBARA HOVEY . .(As ToRMCsI. N. S.) MINNEAPOLIS |IN«) — The people in Guatemala City are not as concerned about the present rebellion as Americans are about! Sen, Joseph IR. McCarthy (R-Wis.) The violence I witnessed was more disturbing to me than to the Guatemalans who are nspd to revolutions. Although 1 was never really ffrald at any time, in the eve-' nings 1 didn’t dare to leave the hotel. Several days ago, I was standing about a half a mile from the national palace when two planes flew directly overhead and strafed the palace. From my room at the San Carlos Gran hotel I heard other strafings. At night I was awakened by occasional bursts of machine gun fire. The many policemen in Guatemala City now carry rifles. They’re absolutely “trigger hap- , py.” At night they shoot anyone who moves in the streets. Every pight there was a blackout. All the newspapers in Guatemala City are prejudiced in favor of' the Arbenz government. I saw no newspapers opposing the present regjme. All over Guatemala City one sees the large number 32 written. It is the number of the article in the constitution prohibiting foreign influences. It is visible evidence of work by the rebels. Many of the tourist agencies and hotels are nearly bankrtipt. The movie theaters are closed. The stores in Guatemala City are doing very little business. The nightclubs are also closed. Mary Severson, of Minneapolis, and I decided to spend our two week vacation in Guatemala before any rebellion was imminent. We arrived in Guatemala on June 8, the day that constitutional ’ rights were suspended. After spending a week under the reign of terror, we became concerned about getting out of Guatemala. The Arbenz government warned tourists against leaving, lest they find themselves in the midst of a rebel attack Very frankly, my companion and t would not have dared to leave Guatemala alone. A man from San Francisco helped us arrange to return to the United States. 1 left with six other Americans A guide travelled with u%z to the border. I had to go to the national palace to sigh a waiver, relieving lhe Guatemalan government of any responsibility for my safety before I could leave. I took a train to Ayutla, a small village on the Mexfcan-Guatemalan border, and crossed the Rio Suchiate river into Mexico. From there 1 rode to Tapichula and flew to El Salvador
