Safety Hint For All Pedesirians: Don’ nto Gromyko's Auto on't Run Into Gromyko's Aut BY PETER EDSON NEA Washington Correspondent WASHINGTON.—(NEA)—A perfect example of how rude he can be was given by Soviet Deputy Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko at the United Nations session which just ended in Paris. The big, black, “Zis” automobile that was carry ing Minister Gromyko from his official residence to the Palais Rose for a UN session struck a woman who was walking across the Champs Elysees. She was taken to a hospital, where she was iden= tfied as a White Russian refugee. Fortunately, her injuries were not serious. When the woman was told who had been riding in the car that struck her she said calmly, “That doesn’t surprise me.” That much of the story was generally printed as a minor news item of the day The sequel was un covered by a writer »or the Paris picture nragazine, “Match.” instead of doing anything for the woman his car struck, after the accident Gromyko went to the French Foreign Office. There he lodged a diplomatic protest complaining of the crowded traffic lanes. As a result, the police added a special car with two inspectors to Gromyko’s regular three-motor cycle escort. MINE FIELD GOES TO THE DOGS Walter J. Donpelly, U. S. Ambassador and High Commissioner in Austria, has told a dramatic story of how one family succeeded in outwitting the Com munist guard around the Iron Curtain, and escaped to freedon. The border in this case was guarded by two rows of land mines. In one row the mines were close together, in the other farther apart. At regular in tervals along the border were guard houses for the patrols and their pol:ce dogs. As this refugee family attempted to sneak across the border at night, the dogs picked up their scent and gave chase, Just before the dogs reached them, the refugees réached under their coats and pulled out cats. As the cats ran, the dogs gave chase. As the cats crossed the minefields, they exploded. The refugees then made their way with safety across the mine craters and so escaped. RUSSIANS REMEMBER GERMAN ARMS German rearmament, if approved at the NATO conference, may appear as a real threat to Soviet Russia. Rearmament in the United States is proba bly_expected, but is too far away to offer much concern to the Russian people. The same is true of a possible rearmament in Japan. : But when the Germans start rearming, that's something that directly concerns the people of west ern Russia, who remember all too well what hap pened when the Germans invaded their land in World War 11. German rearmament is therefore something that Communist propagandists are learn ing to use in whipping up the martial spirit of their own people. CONGRESS IS BEHIND WITH BILLS Congress, though eager to wnd up its business before the political nominating conventions in July, didn’t pass a single law in the first month of its new session. The Senate did manage to complete action on 77 measures and the House 11. But only three of them were on the same subject and those three had to be sent imte conference to iron out differences. A total of 863 new bills weer tossed into the legis lative hopper in the first month, however—2B3 in the Senate and 580 in the House. Few of them have any chance of passage in this crowded session. There’s a backlog of over 9,000 bills introduced in the first session of the 82nd Congress and still pending. COOL PLACE FOR A HOT SESSION Present plans are to hold three meetings of the tull North Atlantic Treaty council in a year. One of these meetings would be held in the United States, two in Europe. After the conference at Lisbon, Por tugal, in February, the next session would be in June or July, Since last November's meeting was held in Rome, the U. S. would normally be expected to be host at the next session. But Washington in June and July isn’t too com fortable and the political temperature here will be even higher. So the mid-summer meeting will probably be held in some place like Norway, Nehru comes out very s&rong]y against the Com munist party. He does not mince any words. What confuses us is that Nehru says that the Communist ideals are great ideals, but criticizes the Commun ist party as not carrying out*these ideals. — Ralph McGill, editor of the Atlanta Constitution, on Pre-~ mier Pandit Nehru of India. There’s no sense spending 83 cents of every tax dollar for the military and sitting on the atom bomb, and not doing anything about it. The people want peace and this would be more satisfactory than the Atlantic Pact. — Senator Estes Kefauver (D.-Tenn.) on the Atlantie Union. r . » 3 i s Time To Curb Blind 1 . - . Mud-Slinging In Campaigns The day will likely never come when campaign ing politicians consistenly employ the reasoned ar gument of the law courts and exhibit the polished manners of the gentlemen's clubs. But that doesn’t mean there is no point in trying to elevate the standards of political combat, ' Senator Mike Monroney, Oklahoma Democrat, recently bobbed up with a concrete proposal to do just that. He wants to create a three or five-mem ber fair elections commmssion to conduct on-the spot inquiries into campaigns and censure unfair practices. The dea, of course, would be to discourage irre sponsible mud-slinging activity by candidates seek ing either a seat in Congress or the presidency. Monroney believes that the commission needs elder statesmen as members if it is to be effective, Only men of that standing would be accepted as abave the partisan strife. On the face of it, there is a lot to be said for this plan, or one with this general aim. Campaigning in the United States has always been a pretty rough and tumble affair. But of recent years it has fre quently been dragged to unparalleled depths by resort to defamation and scurrility. Here and there in the congressional campaigns of 1950 tactics were used which any American who honors fair play could only view with shame. There is already ample evidence that the pattern thus established is being repeated in 1952. The feeling seems to have got about that the end justifies the means, the important thing is to elect or to defeat; it matters not hew this is accomplished. Politics never was an enterprise for the thin skinned. A candidate has to expect abuse and a stretching of the facts. But there is a limit to everything, And any politician or citizen who be lieves that unbridled and vemomous attacks are legitimate strategy has lost all touch with the Am erican tradition. We like to look down our noses at the “fanatics” of the Middle East and other areas who today are stirring so much trauble in the world. Yet there is in this country an occasional display of extrenrism which is not easily distinguished from the antics of the Arab nationalists. The Middle Eastern extremist includes assassina tion in his bag of tricks. Qur more violent cam paigners seldom go that far, But they do not shrink from assassinating character. There is perhaps some question which type of assault is the less kindly. Lawmakers who revere the American tradition of fair play, who believe in honest presentation of men and issues, ought to take a good look at Mon roney’s plan. Salute The Fighting Twenty-Fourth On duty in Japan. Since July 5, 1950, it has been fighting gallantly in Korea, It is the first big unit of our armed forces to win relief from that long, arduous struggle. Not until many months after the fighting began was it disclosed how few were the Americans who were first thrown into the breach against the in=- vading North Koreans that first summer of the war, They were a bare 700 strong—and they were part of the 24th Division. Untested in battle, soft from occupation duty, un prepared mentally for the sudden shift to combat, these men of the 24th bravely threw up a thin screen to protect the shrinking South Korean beachhgad until larger forces could be brought in, It was a race with time; and had not the 24th done its duty well we would have lost it and been thrown into the sea before reinforcements came. In all the fighting that has occurred since then, that yeoman service has not and must not be for gotten. The 24th has been in the thick of it at alnrost every stage of this “peculiar war,” as one corres pondent calls it. The division’s battle-crusted foot soldiers have earned their rest a hundred times. But it's for that first desperate stand they should be most remembered. And it is for thta that the nation shouid now utter heartfelt thanks. I am sure the American people are not going to be too particular about numbers, just as long as they get all our boys back who are alive.—Rep. Ben Jensen (R.-Iowa) on Americans held by Reds in Korea. Russia has no intention of taking this country by force of arms. She is fighting her way at this nro ment and winning the battle.—Rep. Usher Burdick (R.-N. D). . If the next President is to exert the leadership on which the salvation of the free world depends, he will need the broadest possible bipartisan sup port in Congress and might have to run the coun try with a bipartisan cabinet.—Max Ascoli, editor, The Reporter. I would not, in any case, call this a turning point, because we shall continue to have difficulties to cope with even afterwards--difficulties which we had before the Korean war broke out—Trygve Lie, UN Secretary General, on a possible Korean armis tice. - Toward the United States the feeling (Russia’s) underlying all the abuse ic one of envious admira tion.—Sir David Kelly, former British ambassador tothe U.

One of the best ways I know of fortifying oneseslf to with stand the vicissitudes of this in secure and unpredictable era is to school oneself to require rela tively little in the way of mate= ' rial possessions, physical satis factions or the praise of others. The less one requires of such things the better situated one is to stand up to changes of for tune. I am singularly rich in friend ships. Friends of all ages have contributed enormously to my happiness and helped me greatly in times of need. I learned one of the great secrets of friendship early in life to regard each per=- son with whom one associates as an end ih himself, not a means to one’s own ends. That entails trying to help those with whom one comes in contact to find full fillment in their own way while seeking one’s own fulfilment in one’s own way. Another ethical principle that has stood me in good stead is: Know Thyself! I try to acquaint myself realistically with my pos sibilities and limitations. I try to suit my aspirations to goals with in my probable capacity to at tain. I may have missed some undiscovered possipilities for growth but I have spared my self much by not shooting for stars it clearly was not given me to attain. I have seen much inhumanity, cheating, corruption, sordidness and selfishness but I have not be come cynical. I have seen too much that is decent, kind and noble in men to lost faith in the possibility for a far finer exist= ence than yet the quest for a better life is the meost satisfying pur suit of men and nations. I leve life but I am not worried about deafh. I do not feel that I have lost my son and a host of others dear so me by death. I believe with William Penn that “they that love beyond the World cannot be separated by it. Death is but Crossing the World, as Friends do the Seas; they live in one another still™ Death, I believe, teaches us the things of deathlessness. : Glandular Fever, Usually Miid, May Be Caused By Virus By EDWIN P.

Also m"nﬁ ;mﬁ:g distﬂxbm signs that occasionally, at least, the disease may bring more seri ous complications than was for merly consigered likely. | The fear of sterility as ex pressed by one correspondent, however, is quite remote, This disease is almost certainly an infection, probably caused by a virus, Slight loss of appetite and vague pains are common early symptoms. Low fever is the gen eral rule. In some people there is nausea, vomiting, and a little pain in the abdomen. In mild cases there may be headaches and lack of pep. En largement of the lymph glands in the neck, in the arm pits, groin and elsewhere is common. The blood shows changes which are impertant in making the diag nosis. The number of white cells in the blood, sometimes called the leucocyte count, is increased. When the blood is smeared on a glass slide, stained, and examined under the microscope, it will show a peculiar type of cell which was formerly called a monocyte wbich has given the name now applied to the disease. A Diagnesis Is Difficult Except for these cells and a complicated special test of the blood called the heterophile anti body test, the symptoms of infec tious mononucleosis are like those of many other infections. For this reason the diagnosis is eften long delayed and sometimes not made at all. Infectious mononucleosis is par ticularly common in young people.
