fusion, subversion, revolution and
and the subordination of man to
the state, and which has for its
purposes and intentions to over
throw of any democratic or other
form of government by force and
violence if necessary.” The mea
sure also provides that ‘‘any per
son, either citizen or alien in the
Unitde States, actively practicing
Communism should be exposed
and treated as a treasonable ene
my of the United States and dealt
with accordingly.”
Regardless of whether McDon
ough's proposal covers the situa
tion adequately or whether the
definition he suggests is sufficient,
it does one important thing. It
raises squarely before the Con
gress the question of what is Com
munism and it constitutes a chal

provide a complete and legal ans
wer.
The official Soviet admission of
the development of inflation in
Russia and of why devaluation of
the ruble was ne.cessary knocked
into a cocked hat the theories of
advocates of a “planned econ
omy.” Russia is the No. 1 police
state of the earth. When a totali
tarian government there cannot
make a success of police state
methods to prevent inflation, it’s
a cinch that adoption of such
methods in a capitalistic country
can’t cure inflation.
The Moscow broadcast admitted
that “speculative elements . . .
made profits during the war.” So
no matter how Communist propa
gandists may rail at the profit mo
tive in capitalistic countries, it is
admitted they have not been able
to extinguish individual desires
for profits in Russia where they
have everything and everybody
under the totalitarian thumb of a
Communist dictatorship. j
THE ONLY REASON FOR
avoiding oysters during months
without an “R” is that these are j
the summer months when oysters
are usually of poor quality be
cause of the great expenditure of
body material in breeding. Accord
ing to the Encyclopaedia Britan
nica, fat oysters coming from pure
water may be eaten at any season
without danger to human health.
Suggestions For
Dental Health
(American Dental A sin.)
Mouth breathing, a habit often
formed by small children, can
seriously interfere with the nor
mal development of the bones of
the face and cause malformation
of the teeth and jaws.
It is often difficult to detect the
existence of the habit until the
child is from 6 to 8 months old.
As soon as it is detected, parents
should make every effort to break
the habit.
Frequently mouth breathing is
a necessity imposed on a child be
cause of some obstruction in or
behind the nasal passages which
prevents breathing through the
nose. The presence of diseased
and enlarged faucial tonsils some
times causes mouth breathing.
The faucial tonsils, usually
called merely “the tonsils” are lit
tle masses of tissue located one on
each side of the throat in the back
of the mouth. The tonsils can be
come so enlarged that they inter
fere with the nasal breathing and
the child is forced to secure air
through the mouth.
Another more frequent cause of
mouth breathing is the enlarge
ment of the pharyngeal tonsils, or
adenoids. These are very small
masses of glandular tissue attach
ed to the wall of the upper air
passage, lying just back of the
nose.
Sometimes, a child may have a
deflection of the thin little bone
which divides the nose into
halves. If for any reasons this
bone is pushed to one side, ade
quate nasal breathing will be im
possible.
Mouth breathing is harmful be
cause the quantity of air taken in
through the mouth when the nose
is obstructed is not equal to that
during normal nasal respiration.
The child’s entire system suffers
from a lack of oxygen, and the re
sults can be injurious to his whole
system as well as to the teeth and
jaws.

health or your local dentist will

I Workers Strike
In Ruhr Valley
BERLIN m—Some 75,000 Ger
man workers were idle today in
four Ruhr valley cities in strikes
protesting food shortages. Author
ities feared the strike movement
would spread swiftly in Ger
many’s industrial heart where
hunger grips 4,000,000 workers.
Many of them are living on starv
ation diets.
German newspapers in the
western occupation zones linked
the labor crisis with what they
call a Communist master scheme,
“Protocol M,’’ to wreck the Mar
shall plan.
About 50,000 workers w’alked
out at Duisburg, Muehlheim and
Dinslaken, quietly and without
demonstrations. About 25,000 al
ready were on strike at Ober
hausen.
Coal miners and most workers
in essential services remained on
their jobs. Shiploading at Duis
burg, the huge inland port at the
junction of the Rhine and Ruhr
rivers, continued uninterrupted.
Freight trains were halted at
Duisburg, but passenger trains
were running.
Strikes and possible riots were
predicted last night by Hans
Boeckler, head of the German
federation of trade unions, after a
conference of German and British
officials on the food crisis, which
ended without any action to re
lieve the shortages.
Navy Aids Getting
Baby To Hospital
SEATTLE, (/P)—A three-month
old Sitka, Alaska, baby boy lay
critically ill under an oxygen tent
here after a rush flight in which
a fogbound Totem Air Service
transport plane made an emerg
ency “ground control” landing at
the Sand Point naval air station.
The baby was Peter William,
son of Mr. and Mrs. Lamoine Lar
sen, who has been sickly since
birth.
Sitka doctors, unable to diag
nose his trouble, urged an exam
ination by specialists here and pi
lot Pat Crozier, co-pilot John
Dawson and flight engineer Wil
liam C. Reynolds flew the two
“south Friday. Everything west of
Ellensburg was “closed out,” but
the navy Sand Point field landed
the plane safely.
The child was rushed to a hos
pital, a “very sick boy.” His
father is an attendant at the Pio

Truman’s “War
Spending"" Budget j
(By Jack Bell)
WASHINGTON (/P), Democrats
moved to shore up their defenses
against raids by Henry A. Wal
lace today as Senator Taft (R.
Ohio> hammered at what he called
President Truman’s “war spend
i ing” budget.
Taft, who is seeking the GOP
Presidential nomination, told the
Providence, R. I., Republican club
last night that $3,000,000,000 can
be cut off the President’s $39,699,
000,000 budget for the year begin
ning July 1.
Taft proposed an increase in air
corps funds as an alternative to
universal military training and a
billion dollar cut in foreign aid
spending plans. He accused the
treasury of juggling figures to pre
vent a tax cut last year and de
manded a cut now in individual
income levies.

Truman Surprised
By CAB Refusal
WASHINGTON,, </P)—President
Truman Friday described as a
“disservice” to the country a Sen
ate committee’s rejection of legis
lation to let Maj. Gen. Laurence
S. Kuter serve as chairman of the
civil aeronautics board while get
ting military pay.
Mr. Truman expressed his views
in a letter to chairman Gurney

services committee which voted
, unanimously against the legisla
tion.
The White House made public
the president's letter, addressed
to “Dean Chan.”

Kuter,” the President wrote.
Kuter is now United States rep

civil aviation organization at
Montreal.
The CAB post has been vacant
since Jan. 1 when Chairman

and Mr. Truman decided against
reapproving him.
