CHARLES MUSSER, 831 N. Emerson ave, is
~ probably the most popular man in the neighborhood,
as far as the younger residents are concerned. He surprised the kids with a Mickey Mouse movie in his backyard the other night. Both the kids and a bunch of grownups who also attended enjoyed it and are looking forward to more of the same. . . . Baseball enthusiasts at Victory field are hoarding beer, of all things. They buy several bottles as they go in, then put it under their seats, so they'll have a thirst quencher until the end of the game. It's warm, of course, but the fans apparently think warm beer is better than no beer g&rall. . . . The story is making the rounds that some West side tavern operators are miffed at a certain large beer company. With beer scarce as it is, these regular customers were put out when they saw truckloads of the amber fluid passing their end of town en route to Speedway before the race. It’s rumored the brewery claims it wasn't responsible for the allocation; the distributors did it, 'tis claimed.
Home Menagerie
MRS. MARVEL VINCENT WARD, RE. R. 19, Box 816, has an unusual menagerie at her farm home. One of the pets, which she bought as company for her 84-year-old mother, Mrs. Eva Vincent, is a rabbit which sits up at a table to eat. The rabbit likes steak (who doesn’t?) potatoes, peas, vegetables, fruit, and even strawberry shortcake. He also has perfect, table manners, says Mrs, Ward, a R. C. A.-Victor employee. Then there's a hen named “Chaw Chaw Baby" who got her leg and side torn up. Her wounds were very unpleasant looking, so Mrs. Ward made her a pair of pants. We've heard of “dressed” chickens but Mrs. Ward's is the first we ever saw on hoof. Mrs. Ward had a real Mother’s day surprise this year. About a year ago, her angora cat refused to care for her baby kittens, and a rabbit took them to raise, This Mother's day the rabbit gave birth to 13 rabbits and the cat to four kittens. The rabbit refused her family so the cat, one she raised, took them over and ‘did a good job for a while. Then, however, the whole group got fleas and Mrs. Ward flea-powdered them. The powder apparently had ill effects, however, because the whole bunch died one by one, the last rabbits dying this week.

Spanish Exiles
TOULOUSE, France, June 12.—Short of granting official recognition to Premier Jose Giral’s cabinet-in-exile as the legitimate government of Spain, France is treating the thousands of Spanish Republicans now
_ domiciled within its borders with unlimited courtesy.
The government, however, secretly wishes its guests would depart. It shares the fears of French officials here in Toulouse prefecture—headquarters of the Pyrenees frontier guard—that the state of mind of these refugees makes new frontier troubles with Caudillo Francisco Franco's Spain almost unavoidable. Here are the impressions I gathered during my tour of the section of France where some 150,000 Spanish Republicans of all ranks and parties have settled since 1939. In Toulouse, barely 100 miles from Spain, the morale of the exiles is at low ebb. Personal quarrels and political schisms threaten the unity of the Giral government and even the strength of the Republican movement.
U. S., Britain Not Helping
UTTER DEMORALIZATION is being hastened by the pussyfoot diplomacy of Britain and the United States toward Franco. More than 50,000 of these Spanish Democrats joined the Maquis and fought for the liberation of France. Eight thousand were deported to German extermination camps. These men looked for the liberation of their own country from the yoke of Adolf Hitler's “accomplice” soon after V-day. They cannot understand why the western allies seem so eager to grant Franco more time. Personal antagonisms, bred during seven years of exiled misery, have resulted in much political dissen-

Science
EN ROUTE to BIKINI.—Scientists of the nation have been divided upon what might be learned from the atomic bomb tests at Bikini atoll, but before proceeding to discuss that, let me say a word about the unscientific objections that reached Washington in
past months. These were answered by Vice Adm. W. H. P. Blandy, the commander of Operation Crossroads, in
these words: “The bomb will not kill half the fish in the sea and poison the other half so they will -kill the people who eat fish hereafter. It will not start a chain reaction in the water, converting it all to gas and letting the ships on all the oceans drop to the bottom. It will not blow out the bottom of the sea, letting all he water run down the hole. “It will not cause an earthquake or push up new mountain ranges. It will not cause a tidal wave. It will not destroy gravity.” Perhaps the most serious scientific objection to the tests came in a letter to the Review of Scientific Instruments from Dr. L. A. Du Bridge, professor of physics at the University of Rochester. During world war II, Dr. Du Bridge headed the top-secret Radiation laboratory at M. I. T., where the vital and highly successful researches on radar were conducted.
Test Hurriedly Organized HIS OBJECTIONS have been answered by Dr. Ralph A. Sawyer, professor of physics at the University of Michigan and technical director of Joint Task Force One, and Dr. John von Neuman of the Institute of Advanced Study and scientific adviser to Joint Task Force One. Dr. Du Bridge insists that good scientific observations were made in New Mexico and at the time the
My Day
NEW YORK, Tuesdey-—Tomorrow noon, on the step? of the city hall, the New York City campaign for funds asked for by the emergency food collection on behalf of U.N. R, R. A, will start. Secretary of Agriculture Clinton Anderson {s coming from Washington for the ceremonies. The program, which will be broadcast, ought to recall not only the people of this city but the people of many other communities. I have to be at a meeting of a drafting commltis of the economic and social council of the United Nations, and so, much to my regret, I will not be able to attend these ceremonies. " There is nothing, however, which should be closer to the hearts of every person in this country than the co-operation of their own locality in the emergency food collection drive.

sion. The gravest party breach thus far occurred here a fortnight ago. The Spanish Socialist congress excluded from party membership the last pre-civil war premier, Dr. Juan Negrin, and his foreign minister Dr. Julie Alvarez del Vayo, “because of their proCommunist tendencies.” The two promptly retaliated by organizing a dissident Socialist, party, which removed 200 from the ranks of the exiled Spanish Socialists. All efforts of gentle conciliator, Mr. Giral, have so far proved vain.
Workers Provoke Clash :
ANOTHER CONFLICT arose when the C. N. T. (National Confederation of Workers) headed by Federica Montceny, claiming a membership of 40,000 in France and more than 1,000,000 in Spain, refused to be represented in the Giral government. They stated that would go against the tradition of Spanish anarchism. Oddly enough the C. N. T. council in Spain refused to follow Montceny's lead and instead continued its support of Premier Giral. Even more serious are omens among the ranks of both Indalecio Prieto's moderate Socialists and the moderate Republicans to agree on the form to be assumed by any “acceptable government” in Spain. The Republicans remain strongly opposed to any co-operation with the Royalists. The Socialists indicated, during their congress, that if a monarchy were the only way of getting rid of Franco they would accept it as a transitional formula. Another headache for Premier Giral came recently when Spanish Republicans from Galicia decided that in the future Spain they would have autonomy. The Autonomist party of free Galicia was founded here a month ago.

The peak of divorces resulting from ill-advised, hasty war marriages is not expected to reach the courts before 1947. » ¥ » AT THE SAME time, however, records will show that many hundreds of other so-called hasty war marriages are clicking in nearperfect domestic harmony.

Finally, he expresses the view that so few ships|
will be destroyed in the test as to leave the impression that an atomic bomb is not very useful against a fleet. He says that atomic scientists “anticipate already the screaming headlines, ‘Atomic Bomb Fails to Sink Fleet." ” Doctors Sawyer and Neuman disagree completely with Dr. Du Bridge. They deny that the tests will lack scientific value. They point out that Joint Task Force One contains about 1000 scientists, engineers and technicians who are particularly fitted and trained to make field tests. The available equipment for these tests is described by them as “magnificent.” They add: “There is no doubt that they will obtain much data of a type and scope that was not, and could not have been, obtained from the previous explosions, and which the armed forces feel is vital and unobtainable

Golden Gate bridge I stood on deck in a stiff breeze and looked

At the base of the spire is the 60-inch cyclotron of Prof. Ernest 0.

It almost looks as though it is resting on the spire, In this and the adjacent building, housing the 184-inch cyclotron and the synchrotron, machines many times more powerful than the 60« inch plutonium producer, lies the frontier of atomic research. » " . I STOOD on that hill yesterday and looked out over the campus and the bay and Golden Gate.

The first variety responds to sedatives, while the latter is treated with plasma (the liquid portion of the blood) or whole blood, Because of the shock developing in severelyburned individuals, anti - shock treatment is started before marked symptoms appear. In less extensive burns, fluid loss may be replaced by giving water by mouth, or by injecting salt water into the veins. In estimating the degree of a burn (first, second, third), one always takes into account its extent as well as its depth, as fluid may escape if a large area is affected. Pressure dressings are applied to burns in order to decrease fluid {loss and hold the part at rest.
