The Hebraic word “Zaraath,” which was used to designate the leper of the old days referred «o a vague series of skin diseases with little relation to the of actual leprosy. It was , a bum translation from the Greek word “lepra, EE which also was a misnomer, :

What he had to do was make a speech at the State Department to young diplomats on how to f Bo about protecting American citizens abroad. This is dull ‘stuff to would-be ambassadors and Mr. Clattenburg tried to liyen it up a little. He certainly did. : ¥ - “The State Departnient will protect its nationals if, when and where,” he told the fledgling ministers plenipotentiary. “A national is a tourist Who has just been bitten by a snag-toothed camel.” “The enraged national sends for a battleship and he gets a postcard. The card assures the national that it will not happen to him again. Not because the State Department is terrific, but be- , Cause the camel didn’t like the taste.” Mr, Clattenburg went. on from there, landing the serious with the ridiculous (in order to keep the students awake) until he got to the part about OW tourists always are going broke and getting into trouble in far places, PE The diplomats have got to find ‘em’ lawyers. Mr, Clattenburg said this was no particular trou- ® because the average American Embassy keeps a list of local shysters (his word, gentlemen of the legal profession) on call. In Athens, Greece, in Particular, he said, our Department of State has a Particularly. good assortment of shysters to help out troubled Americans. :

The sulfones have replaced the old chaulmoogra oil, a nauseating, irritating dose that never was more than a psychologic gesture toward a remedy. The injections are given now with the new hypo-spray, which propels the solution painlessly through the pores.

into the record. He said unfortunately his man, Mr, Clattenburg, was being facetious in the class room. The Congressmen said was he certain? Absolutely, he replied. So Mr. Clattenburg didn't get fired and the lawmakers thereupon devoted themselves to wondering how come the State Department needs nearly $200 million next year, when only 10 years ago it got along on $14 million? y :

Be Careful About Ink Blots

REP. CLIFF CLEVENGER of Ohio said the department spread itself all over the world like an international “Meddlesome Mattie.” He said the diplomats kept on asking for millions to meet emergencies. “And I kept track of the number of emer-

' gencies facing us until it got up into the seventies,”

he said, “ counting.” . 80 the statesmen investigated all phases of American diplomacy, with a view toward upholding our international dignity a little cheaper. They considered the State Department's limousines. They suggested that Mrs. Ruth Shipley, the passport chief, speak strongly to her clerks, who wrote 176,474 passports last year—and spoiled 15,234. Mrs. Shipley promised to tell ‘em to be careful about the ink blots. The lawmakers also learned what happened to the pictures of the fat lady in the circus and other similar works of art it wanted to send on a tour of the world. They're in storage in New York, .while the diplomats try to persuade the War ts Administration to sell 'em as war surplus.

On the subject of politics in general, Mr. Truman told porters at his first news ¢onference in two weeks: 3 “The Presidential election year is having a very bad effect on the settlement of foreign and do‘mestic affairs.” : ’ He permitted direct quotation of that remark. There is a move afoot in VirZinia and Mississippi to keep Mr. Truman's name off the ballot next November unless he backs ‘down “on the civil“ rights stand that has touched off the Southern revolt. South Carolina also is expected to follow suit. Virginia Plan Cited Mr. Truman was asked - specifically about a proposal by Gov. William M. Tuck of Virginia that would enable a state party convention to withhold the Virginia vote for President and Vice President from the national party candidates. Mr. Truman replied that every state has a perfect right to decide how to carry on-its elections, provided they are fair and give everybody the right to express
