Stale To Have Reflector Plates INDIANAPOLIS UPI — Goveinor Branigin announced Wednesday that Indiana will issue silver and black reflectorized auto license plates for 1966 in an effort to reduce the mounting traffic death toll. Branigin directed John P. Hatchett, Indiana Department of Administration commssioner, to advance full speed with plans

to reflectorize the plates as authorized by the 1965 Legislature. Originally Hatchett had planned to issue luminous plates for the first time in 1967 but Branigin directed a step-up in production. Hatchett explained that silver was selected for the background color because "it has a candle power rating of 32 as opposed to a rating of 18 for a color such as yellow.'’ Branigin noted that states which have used reflectorized

plates experienced sizable reductions in the number of rearend automobile collisions at night. He pointed to National Safety Council reports showing that such collisions are “the No. 1 accident on highways." "Lack of visibility has been repeatedly shown as responsible for at least one-third of all night traffic accidents," Branigin said. Hatchett said the reflectorized process will add 10 cents to the cost per plate and that Indiana expects to issue 3.9 million plates for 1966. Work on the plates will begin immediately at the Indiana State Prison.

MARCH OF EVENTS

LBJ VOTING RIGHTS SPEECH BUOYS SPIRITS

TV ADDRESS' IMPACT CALLED TREMENDOUS

The President Leadership recognized

By HENRY CATHCART Central Press Washington Writer -rrrASHIXGTOX—Editorial and public reaction to President Johnson's speech on Negro voting rights before a joint session of the Congress has brought, at least temporarily, a marked lifting of spirits at the White House. The impact of the televised address was obviously tremendous. That the President seized on an emotioncharged issue and made the most of it is beside the point. The fact is that Johnson, for the first time since the sad days immediately following the assassination of President Kennedy, has achieved a public recognition of his

leadership qualities.

In American history, strong presidents have been recorded as the great presidents. Those of more placid temperament who conform to the limitations ©f more quiet times have soon been forgotten. Apparently, the crises of the times plus the President’s own forceful personality will place him in the former category. Johnson is more acutely aware of what the public—and the press—think about him than were most recent . White House occupants. It is this knowledge that has contributed to the

marked relief of tension among White House staffers. There’s

less electricity in the air.

If the President has struck on a formula to communicate with the people it will redound to the benefit of everyone.

• TRADE COMMISSION'S BOOK TELLS ALL— In observance of its 50th anniversary, the Federal Trade Commission published a document that tells all—in minutest detail. As one weary reader put it, ‘‘It’s like saving ‘how are you?’ to an acquaintance and getting a 15-minute recapitulation of all of his aches and

pains."

The document lists every individual who ever served on th® commission, his state, political affiliation and period of service. It includes biographies of current FTC members, the laws they administer. It even tells all about the architecture of its building, • * * • SOFT SELL—The presence of Catholic nuns in ciowds and picket lines protesting the racial crisis at Selma, Ala., has given photographers and newsmen something new to add to their work. It remained for one of the pious ladies to strike a new high in advertising gimmickry, either by accident or design. This nun, participating in picketing at the White Hcuse, walked the lino with no sign, her hands clasped. But pinned to her cuff was the carefully written legend: "Arrest Governor Wallace.” * * * * • SENATORS SCOLDED—Sen. Wayne Morse, D-Ore., on® of that Chamber’s more fiery members, often takes on the role of the conscience of his peers. Among other things, Morse is an acknowledged expert in the field of labor relations, having served the government in that capacity in World War II. The other day he declared that the Senate should be ashamed of itself. He was referring to the men and women—mostly colored—who work in the Senate restaurants and cafeterias. These are exempt from minimum Sanat® wage and hour laws and many of them earn vVorkeri* less than the minimum of $1.25 an hour. One reason for the exemption was the convic- Poy Poor tion among legislators that this type of employe received additional compensation in tips, but Morse pointed out that some of the Senate's kitchen help earned as little as $1.02 an hour, and there are no tips for them. According to Morse: "Senators may be the best tipsters in th® world but not the best tippers.”

Fowler Assumes Treasury Post WASHINGTON UPI —Henry H. Fowler steps in today as secretary of the Treasury with two top-priority problems already on his desk: How to cut unemployment without causing inflation and how to build a stable world monetary system. Fowler, a long-time government official who served as undersecretary of the Treasury until last year, takes the oath of office in a White House ceremony. C. Douglas Dillon, who resigned the post Wednesday after serving under two Democratic presidents, was on hand for the swearing in of his former top assistant.

In a farewell news conference at which he told newsmen | he has "always been a Republi- ; can and I still am one,” Dillon outlined the problems that Fowler will face.

Suit Is Settled For $225,000 DETROIT UPI — The $5.5 million damage suit filed by W. Nicholas Kerbawy against Fred Zollner, millionaire owner of the Detroit Pistons, was settled yesterday for a reported $255,000. Under terms of the settlement. Kerbawy would get $105,000 for the slander charge and would be paid $15,000 a year for 10 years to settle his contract. In addition, the libel charge against Zollner was dismissed as were the • charges of conspiracy and breach of contract. Zollner’s cross-complaint also was dismissed.

S^TOHEAII

By LESTER L. COLEMAN, MJ>.

Doctor, Td Like To Know—* I HAVE been taking hor-| upheaval. Kindness and sympa*

mones for the hot flashes of menopause, on and off for the past three years. When I get relief I stop taking them. After two or three months, the flashes return and I start taking the

pills again.

Is there any danger in taking hormones for such a long period of time? Sometimes I feel that I just can’t survive these spells of hot flashes. How long does the change of Dr. Coleman life take before the discomfort

disappears ?

Mrs. L. J., New Jersey Dear Mrs. J.: The distressing symptoms of menopause vary in severity and duration with almost every individual. The symptoms differ, too, in those cases where menopause is suddenly brought on after an operation on the ovaries. The exact time it takes to complete the "change of life” cannot be foretold with any degree of accuracy. During the difficult changeover period, hormones can be exceedingly beneficial and bring welcome physical and emotional

comfort.

The particular hormones are chosen with great care for the individual patient. It must be assumed that your prolonged "on and off’ use of hormones, without supervision, is contrary to your doctor’s advice. Hormones must never be used indiscriminately, nor should they be taken when the patient herself decides they are neces-

sary.

The menopause is a period of physical change and emotional

the tic understanding of all members of the family can make this difficult transitional

period more bearable.

I have been told that I have a tumor on one vocal chord. I prefer not to have surgery, which was recommended by my

doctor.

Is there any other treatment for this condition? R.W.B., South Carolina Dear Mr. B.: No one ever wants an operation by choice. Certainly, it is unpleasant and incapacitating. Yet, to delay surgery because you "prefer” not to have it, can only serve to complicate your condition. When surgery is the choice of treatment, it can be the safest, fastest and most conservative approach to a physical prob-

lem.

The patient must never make the decision as to the need for surgery. If he is confused, uncertain or frightened, there ie complete justification for seeking an additional medical opinion. Your doctor understands your need for extra reassurance at this time. It is up to you to seek his cooperation in obtaining that additional opinion. The final decision should b® reached by the combined judgment of the consulting doctors. In this way, you, the patient, will benefit the most when the choice of treatment is determined. While Dr. Coleman cannot undertake to ansxcer individual letters, he •will use render? questions in his column when* ever possible and when they are of general interest. Address your letters to Dr. Coleman il* core of this newspaper.

MOUNTED MILITIAMEN CHARGE MOB AT U. S. EMBASSY—Mounted Russian militiamen swing clubs as they charge into a mob of students storming the U. S. Embassy in Moscon to pretest U. S. activities in Viet Nam. Soviet Foreign Miinster Andrei Gromyko promised "supplementary protection” for the embassy, and said the Soviet Union would pay for the damage. The mob smashed 310 windows, left 210 ink stains on the building, and damaged two official U. S. seals.
