Nuclear Test Ban? Yesterday we mentioned some of the reasons why Sen. Vance Hartke favors a limited nuclear test ban, with adequate protection for U. S. interests. Now let us discuss some of the oppositions to this test ban. A few years ago, when we were trying desperately to keep ahead of Russia in the nuclear race, the radical right (those who favor un-constitutional means of preventing normal, constitutional change in American procedures) opposed atomic testing. Today, the radical right has come complete* * ly about, and opposes the nuclear test ban. And it is clear why. The radical right favors immediate war with Russia, China, and the entire Communist and Socialist world. “Why not get it over with right now, using nuclear power?” they say. The funny part about this is that it plays right into the hand of Communist China, who wants a big* nuclear war right now, just as does Sen. Barry Goldwater. And why? Because if we have a nuclear war right now, the U. S. and Russia will bomb each other into oblivion, and Communist China, with a huge nonnuclear army, will be left to reap the entire world! A recent cartoon shows a little fat businessman with glasses at the back of a huge crowd carrying placards reading “Co-existence is cowardly”, “Cuba was a disaster”, “NO test ban”, “Why be afraid to risk war?”, Khrushchev and Kennedy must go!”, and “Why not victory ?” The little man was carrying a sign in his hand which said “Barry in ‘64”, and he had just tapped a man on the back, who had turned and was facing him, and was obviously Chinese, and was carrying a sign which read “The only true leader-Mao”. The little man was saying to the Chinaman, “Oh, sorry — We thought it was a Goldwater rally.” In other words, the positions of the radical right in the United States, and the radical Communist Chinese, is exactly the same — let’s test capitalism and Communism right now, by all-out war. And there are undoubtedly plenty of people right here who feel the same way. But really now, how many of you who would actually have to fight, who would be involved in all-out atomic war, with perhaps one-third of our people wiped out — yes, every third person right here in Decatur — really want all-out war? All life is something of a gamble — but isn’t it worthwhile to try to arrange peace, to try to stop nuclear holocaust? Sure, the Russians have broken treaties before — and so have we. But we abolished the use of poison gas after world war I without any significant violations. Why hot a nuclear ban with adequate precautions? If you favor limited nuclear test ban, with adequate protection for U.*S. interests, write our Senators, R. Vance Hartke and Birch Bayh, immediately. They will vote on this question within two weeks. .They want your opinion and support. It may be a step toward world peace, and if it isn’t it will at the very least prevent thousands of birth defects, cases of leukemia in children, and bone tumors in future generations. And it will keep the U. S. and Russian from annihilating each other, to the benefit of Red China and its hoardes.

You, Your Child And The School

By DAVID NYDICK UPI Educatton Specialist The field of science is fascinating to children. They are curious about many event? in their daily life and parents should encourage this attitude. A proper response to children’s questions can be most helpful to encourage their curiosity. Science, for children, is away of discovering new knowledge. They learn to organize facts and concepts so that they can understand the world around them. The 'School program aims to develop skills in problem solving, a scientific attitude, and an appreciation of and an interest in the world in which we live. It should develop practical knowledge useful for all individuals. Encourage Talented Child It also is important to encourage children with special talents and interests in science to pursue learning in this important subject.

Writer Says He's 'Tired Ink' Victim By DICK WEST United Press International WASHINGTON (UPD—Not long ago I read a report to the effect that this country has, or soon will have, a shortage of doctors. And not long after that a physician friend of mine told me that a lot of a doctor’s time is taken up with cases “that any good quack could handle.” Putting two and two together, which I can do with the aid of an electronic computer, I almost made a dreadful mistake. I was on the verge of proposing that the United States adopt a system of licensed quackery. It was my idea that hypochondriacs, malirigerers, cry-babies and others with psychosomatic or inconsequential ailments would go for treatment to their friendly neighborhood quack. Relieve Shortage This would " leave the real M.D.’s free to treat actual illnesses, thus greatly relieving if not eliminating the doctor shortage. The plan looked good at first, but 1 can see now that it wouldn’t work. What opened my eyes to the fatal flaw was an exhibit of quack medical devices that the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has put on display here. It is obvious from this exhibit that the quacks ‘wouldn’t be satisfied with treating imaginery or picayune maladies, as I had envisioned. Quacks may be crooked, but they think big. , One of the devices in the display is called a “sonus film-o-sonic.” It was supposed to cure various illnesses’ by translating music into electric impulses. Cure For Cancer For example, “Smoke Gets in Your Eyes’’ was represented as a cure for cancer and “Holiday for Strings’’ for arteriosclerosis. How anyone could have been taken in by such humbuggery is beyond me. The thing is ridiculous on its face. I mean, everyone knows that “Smoke Gets in Your Eyes” can’t cure cancer That is the cure for myopia. For cancer you use “I’ve Got Your Under My Skin.” Another device seized by the FDA is the “microdynameter,” which was represented as being able to diagnose diseases by measuring electric current given off by the body. FDA investigators became suspicious when they attached the machine to a corpse and it registered “healthy.” A somewhat similar machine, the “oscilloclast,” was exposed when agents gave it a drop of red ink to analyze. Back came a diagnosis of “systematic toxemia contributing to lowered -vitality and anemic tendencies.” So now I know what is wrong with me. I’m a victim of “tired ink.”

THE DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT, DECATUR, INDIANA

At home parents can do many important things for their children. Be a good listener; show concern in this discussions and interests; supply needed equipment and space; be available for special activities. Some good activities which may produce excellent science learning can be found right around the house. Such things as building a bird feeder, planting a garden, explaining the heating system, and examining the electrical system are good possibilities. Questions Form Basis These activities, in themselves, will not develop scientific knowledge and skills. It is the planning and questions which help to bring about the valuable learning. An organized approach to each activity should involve questions, research, plans, and an evaluation of the results. These are the things which lead to a scientific attitude. There are hundreds of possible activities which arouse children’s curiosity. Allow them to follow these interests. Encourage their questions. Help them find and organize their answers. Choose the kind of equipment which allows for understanding. Toys which do not perform properly cause frustrations. This means a microscope which does not magnify properly will not help develop scientific skill. It may even discourage it.

Civil Defense Program Takes Step Forward WASHINGTON (UPI) —The national civil defense program took •its biggest step forward in congressional history today when the House Armed Services Committee approved a limited fallout shelter plan designed to protect 11 million Americans. By a vote of 32-4, the committee endorsed a bill that would permit the federal government to spend $190.6 million on the project during the current fiscal year. Congress would review the plan next year and decide if it should complete the rest of the projected five-year program to provide 95 million spaces at a cost of more than $2 billion. Added to existing spaces, the ultimate figure would be 240 million spaces. Other congressional news: . Rails: House Commerce Chairman Oren Harris, Ark., said he felt there was a good chance that. Congress could enact legislation' in time to block a nationwide rail strike threatened for Thursday. Medical schools: The AFL-CLO Monday urged Senate passage of legislation to provide federal aid to medical schools and students. The union’s legislative representative, Clinton M. Fair, told the Senate health subcommittee that a doctor shortage in the nation

was growing worse. He cited government figures showing that in 1962 the United States slipped from 10th to 11th place among nations having the lowest infant mortality rate. Airports: The senate voted Monday to extend for three more years the current authorization of $75 million in federal aid for airports. Before the vote, the lawmakers turned back an economy move sponsored by Sen. William Promire, D-Wis. Urging that the authorization be cut back by onethird, Proxmire said the program was the “least justified of all government sudsidies.” But the Senate rejected the plan by a vote of 64-14. 0 o Household Scrapbook I By Roberta Lee | 0— o Window Shade Ring When the pull ring on a window shade is bare, or you wish to change the covering, try wrapping with a few turns of a man’s pipe cleaner.

Nation’s Railroads * . Bracing For Strike

CHICAGO (UPI) — Notices of sweeping work . rules changes were posted in rail terminals and shops across the country today for the third time this summer. The nation’s major railroads braced for a threatened strike by five operating unions, while Congress worked on legislation to postpone a crippling showdown once again. Both the rules changes and the walkout were scheduled to start at 12:01 a.m. Thursday. Many key lines began setting up machinery to handle stranded passengers, perishable produce, livestock and freight in the event of a strike. The railroads prepared to issue embargoes on freight, probably on perishable goods first. Most lines said passenger trains would continue to their destinations. Freight trains, however, might continue only to the nearest terminal, generally a division or crew change point. A Pennsylvania Railroad spokesman said his line’s policy would be “to get both passengers and freight trains to the nearest terminal” rather than to their intended destination. i A spokesman for the Milwaukee Road said efforts would be made to get livestock to terminals with pens, where the animals could be fed and watered. Perishables not carried to their destination probably would be sold wherever they were stranded, he said. Both the Illinois Central and the Baltimore and Ohio said passenger trains would proceed to their destinations in the event of a strike. The Chicago and North

Living Costs Hit New Peak In July WASHINGTON (UPI) — Living costs soared to a new peak in July because of sharp price increases for pork and fresh vegetables, the Labor Department reported today. The department’s consumer price index hit a record high of 107.1, up .5 per cent over the previous month. This means it took $10.71 in July to bUy the same goods and services that cost $lO in the base period 1957-59. The rise triggered cost-of-living pay increases of from 1 to 3 cents an hour for 1,025,000 workers in the auto, aerospace, farm and construction equipment and trucking industries. A Labor Department price expert said the July increase was the largest for any month since last September. Arnold Chase, assistant commissioner of labor statistics, said he expected prices to be “reasonably stable” during the rest of 1963. He foresaw no major increases. Pork prices jumped by more than 5 per cent last month as farmers sent fewer hogs to market. Rises also were reported in prices of apples, lettuce, tomatoes, beef and veal.

Western said its passengers and freight trains would be stopped at the nearest terminal. J Many railroads notified nonoperating personnel they would be laid off if operating crews walked out. Among those were the New York Central, Illinois Central, ' Rock Island, Milwaukee Road, North Western, New Haven, Boston and Maine, and Norfolk and Western. The Rock Island said it would shut down completely in the event ol a strike. Starts Over Weekend Posting of thj: rules change notices started during the weekend. Twice before this summer—both times in July — the railroads posted and then withdrew notices to give the White House and Congress time to find away to prevent a strike. The rules changes would allow the carriers to eliminate the jobs oi all firemen, more than 40,000 jobs, on roads and yard freight service. Further changes in crew makeup and work assignments would eliminate an additional 25,000 jobs. Railroads that posted the rules changes included the New York Central, Pennsylvania, Santa Fe, Union Pacific, Southern Pacific, Chicago and North Western;”Milwaukee Road, Baltimore and Ohio, Illinois Central, Rock Island, Burlington, Long Island, New Haven, Boston and Maine, Sea Board Air Line, Norfolk and Western, Richmond — Freder-icksburg-Potomac, Chicago and Great Western, Kansas City Terminal, Kansas City Southern, Gulf, Mobile and Ohio, and Chicago and Eastern Illinois.
