The Alcoholic in Industry A doctor who heads the medical department of a leading oil company recently spoke before a group of safety engineers on an extremely important problem—that of the alcoholic in industry. As all of us know, the drinking driver is responsible for a horrifyingly high percentage of the carnage on our highways—in Chicago, for instance, it has been officially stated that 50 per cent of fatal accidents are the result of mixing alcohol and gasoline. In industry, too, the alcoholic is far more accident prone than others. He is a menace not only to himself but to his associates. On top of that, the alcoholic is often absent from the job, is inefficient, and presents all kinds of recurrent problems to his employer, his friends and his family. The doctor mentioned estimated that there are 2,000,000 problem drinkers in American industry today, that the number is swiftly increasing, that each loses an average of 22 days of work each year because of drinking—and that the payroll cost alone totals at least $741,000,000. result of mixing alcohol and gasoline.

He then offered a solution—and one which has proven sound and effective. Most alcoholics want to be cured and can be. The modern industrial approach to the problem, therefore, lies in dealing with the alcoholics as a sick man who needs treatment; in supporting research projects, such as alcoholic clinics; in developing educational programs within companies, and in working closely with outside agencies, such as the tremendously successful Alcoholics Anonymous. The potential return from a program such as this, measured in both human and money values, is beyond estimation—and it is a program which is within the ability of almost every employer and enterprise. All Aboard! If you happen to be planning a trip to Mars, we have news for you — you should get started now. The reason is that, according to astronomers, Mars will be just about as close to us until the latter part of June as it will ever get. It's a mere 40,000,000 miles away. This also brings up the point that if you're expecting the funny little men with fantastic space suits and weird weapons to drop in from Mars, now is the time to get out the welcome mat — or head for the back country. As to a journey to our "near" neighbor in the skies, we understand that a space ship would have to travel 60 miles a minute to break away from the gravity pull of the earth. Assuming that it could maintain that speed all the way to Mars, our calculations indicate that it would take a while to get there — about 15 months. Our advice, therefore, to the would-be space travelers is to take something more than a ham sandwich along when leaving. May Day The first day of May can be a very joyous or a very grim occasion. It depends on which side of the iron curtain your home happens to be located. On the sunny side, there will be the customary gaiety with a lot of pretty little girls all dressed up in their finest, marching around the Maypole. On the shadowy side will be millions of somber-faced men marching around Lenin's Byear. SATURDAY. MAY 1—Born day, you are another of those affluent souls. You believe that you have a mission in life and you tend to perform it. What that may be will depend a great deal upon your station in life, your environment, or your early education. If the trends will be discernible easily in life, and you should make an early decision as to what your future career is going to be. You will adhere to it until you reach the success for which you ambitions yearn. The stars have given you many talents and versatility which make it easy for you to adapt. Fact, you are so adaptable that may find you are trying to swirl half a dozen projects all at once and never seem to have the enough to fit them all into your schedule. Learn to plan things carefully, ahead of time and will be able to do all the things you want to do, eventually. A natural leader, you will find that you are very attractive members of the opposite sex. You will probably be most content if you wed fairly early in life for you will enjoy having your family growing up around you. Among these who were born this date are: Marie Corelli, Harry Leon Wilson authors; seph Addison, noted essayist; O'Inness, painter; Claudette Obert, actress; General Mark Cliff and Kate Smith, vocalist.

TAURUS Apr. 21-29—Y church attendance, even if visiting away from home, could bring you a real spiritual uplift day. GEMINI (May 21-June 21)—You can be a very happy day at home even if you cannot get away the day. Make the most of it. CANCER (June 22-July 23) driving, get an early start home so that you do not getvolved in heavy late traffic. LEO (July 24-Aug. 23)—Plan pay visits today after your votional duties are over morning.

It depends on which side of the iron curtain your home happens to be located. On the sunny side, there will be the customary gaiety with a lot of pretty little girls all dressed up in their finest, marching around the Maypole. On the shadowy side will be millions of somber-faced men marching around Lenin's tomb in Moscow and in the streets of many another city where the Red hand of Communism lies heavily. It's a strange and frightening contrast between the West and the East. One wonders sometimes how this contrast, which seems ever to be deepening, could have come into existence. It has, however, and it poses upon us the great dilemma of our times. But let's not get lost in the world's troubles on May Day. Let's just be sure we get the kids up early enough for the happy festivities and let's hope, above all, that it doesn't rain. Songs of a Sonneter By R. Louis Scott "The Unknown God!" The Unknown God: his shrine neglected stands At a drear, cross-roads where pilgrims from lands Not yet even charted pass to and fro Seeking gods less stringent in their demands! At the edge of the traffic's ceaseless flow, The old priest genuflects, solemn and slow. While one tattered convert fingers his beads And ponders the shadows that come and go! The world is cluttered with dogmas and creeds; Pompous proclamations, each of which breeds Others like to itself: bread from a stone— Or, nothing from nothing that naught concedes! Stillness—while penitent and priest intone— Scarce-heard prayers in praise of a God Unknown! 1954 LIBERTY BELL The David Lawrence Dispatch By DAVID LAWRENCE GENEVA, May 1 — If somebody can draw a line inside Indo-China that is militarily defensible and does not mean the entering wedge for an infiltration of the whole area by Communists, a cease-fire can be worked out at this conference. That is what President Eisenhower described as a "modus vivendi," which is an old diplomatic phrase meaning a mode of living with a disagreeable and unsolvable situation. But the military men of the French high command and of the United States are skeptical as to whether such a line can be found. If the diplomats want a military line submitted merely as a way out of their political difficulties, it can be drawn. There isn't any use deceiving anybody, however, for such a truce line will become the effective partition line, and ultimately can mean the acquisition of all Indo-China by the Communists. The optimistic doctrine is being handed out in some quarters here that, while the cease-fire is in effect and discussions are dragging along for a year or two as to a political conference to be held at some subsequent date, there will be an opportunity to train local troops to safeguard the independence of the three new states. All this would mean that, like Korea, Indo-China would have a truce line and the fighting would be over. But the moment the Communists find out that the allies here are ready to throw in the sponge at some designated truce line, the price will go up. The Communists will insist on a line even more advantageous to them, and the haggling here may go on for weeks on that point. Meanwhile, Secretary Dulles has announced that he is going back Casey, foreign secretary of trials, in his speech — who really noncommittal on the Korean pln for a general of all Korea — allowed to be placed in the position the Communists could use dress as an argument that Western Alliance was weakened its attitude toward a control of the South Korean Republic the entity created by the Nations. Any tendency here part of the Western Alliescept, even by inference, that the two parts of Korea be combined by a general with all outside "interfered" the Communists call any supervision of elections, prism is bound to stir up Syngman and complicate matters in itself. It is reminiscent of "coalition" type of set which were supposed to any independent Poland and Slovakia and resulted only complete subjugation by themunists. The envoys of the Wester are supposed not to be fully aware of the facts of communist strategy. The A delegation analyzed the Korean proposals and them out of hand. The United States is open principle to a partition of China but is prepared to its views only after some proposal is at hand. If proposal is unsatisfactory to it, yet is pressed by them and they are prepared to sit their influence in Indo-China accepting a truce line that effect become a permanent tension, the United States press its dissenting views take a look at the whole E situation as well as the eastern Asian problem and By STELLA SUNDAY, MAY 2—Born today you are an inventive thinker and are able to adapt your ideas to some definite, practical application. You have determination enough if you are really interested in something, but you do not have the "push and go" which makes for a quick business or commercial success. It would be well for you to team up with someone who can promote your ideas and push them. Otherwise, those who are more aggressive may get ahead of you! Essentially an individualist, you dislike working under others although you know how to work with people who are sympathetic to your cause and who understand your particular temperament. You are not the one to enjoy doing the physical labor on a job but will be most successful as the brains behind the brawn. You are a born diplomat and know how to handle all kinds of people with tact. You have dramatic talent and the stage should beckon you. The arts and the professions are more suited to your talents and early in youth you should discover your major interest and concentrate on it. Wed to someone who understands your marriage can be an exceptionally happy one, for you are fond of family and home life. Among those who were born on this date are: Jerome K. Jerome, author; Benjamin H. Field, merchant; Pearl White, Norma Talmadge, silent screen stars; Mary Anderson, actress; Brian Aheare and Bing Crosby, actors, and Clyde Fitch, playwright. To find what the stars have in store for you tomorrow, select your birthday star and read the corresponding paragraph. Let your birthday star be your daily guide. Monday, May 3. TAURUS (Apr. 21-June 20)—You can avoid a tendency toward arrogance today if you show a little more than ordinary caution. GEMINI (May 21-June 21)—You can earn considerable progress this day by diligent application to the pursuit of your duties. CANCER (June 22-July 23)—If conditions do not please you, don't sit back and complain but do all you can to improve them. LEO (July 24-Aug. 23)—Be sure that all are agreed in some cooperative venture before making any final decision on it. VIRGO (Aug. 24-Sept. 23)—If you are in a buying mood, you will find plenty who are willing to state that all would mean that, like Korea, Indo-China would have a truce line and the fighting would be over. But the moment the Communists find out that the allies here are ready to throw in the sponge at some designated truce line, the price will go up. The Communists will insist on a line even more advantageous to them, and the haggling here may go on for weeks on that point. Meanwhile, Secretary Dulles has announced that he is going back to Washington on Tuesday. The effect may be to speed up the conversations looking toward possible agreements because, if there is to be a long wrangle, the Secretary would prefer to have his deputy here while he exercises freedom of action in giving from Washington the necessary instructions to the American delegation. It has been evident for some time that the sole purpose of the Communists in coming to this conference was to try to make some kind of trade on the Indo-China situation which would relieve Moscow of the burden of military supply to Southeast Asia and yet achieve for them practical control of the area. Judging by the public speeches made thus far, the Communists have not the slightest intention of agreeing now to any plan for the unification of Korea, though they will pay lip service to the principle of unification. Their concept is to have elections of the kind they proposed for Germany, and the net effect of such a plan would be to acquire control of all Korea for the Communists. It was regrettable that Robert Othman's Views on Washington Scenes By FREDERICK C. OTHMAH WASHINGTON... Let us consider today the welfare state and whether it takes care of people only, or also dogs. Our country, welfare state or not, seems to favor pups. This interesting subject came up when the Senate Banking Committee called in Walter L. Greene recently retired official of the scandal-littered Federal Housing Administration, to defend himself. He'd been with this organization for 20 years, said he, and nobody'd proved to him yet that any great number of apartment house builders had used it to cheat us taxpayers of an estimated $500,000,000. Nor had he heard of any 100,000 house owners, as charged, being skunked in their home chimneys. China but is prepared to its views only after some proposal is at hand.

Greene, recently retired official of the scandal-littered Federal Housing Administration, to defend himself. He'd been with this organization for 20 years, said he, and nobody'd proved to him yet that any great number of apartment house builders had used it to cheat us taxpayers of an estimated $500,000,000. Nor had he heard of any 100,000 house owners, as charged, being skunked in their home improvement loans for such diverse items as garbage chopper-uppers, swimming pools, fire alarm systems, tennis courts and, er, dog houses. Housing for hounds under Federal loan auspices seemed to be a sore subject all around. "Who made the decision to approve government insured loans on dog kennels?" demanded Sen. Paul H. Douglas (D., Ill.). The gray-haired Greene peered at him through pale-rimmed eyeglasses and said he didn't know. "How can a dog house be called an improvement to a house?" insisted the Senator. "Or a fire alarm?" Greene said he could justify a fire alarm easier than he could a kennel and that caused Sen. Homer Capehart (R., Ind.), the chairman, to ask: "Did you ever turn down a loan on anything?" "I am sure that we have," Greene replied. "The gentleman the other day must have been talking facetiously when he said we had insured a loan so a property owner could use it to make his allonyy payments." The Senators weren't so sure that loans hadn't been used for such purposes; they'd already heard charges that some of the Federally insured home improvement loans paid for fancy automobiles. Alimony didn't surprise them. "But you did insure loans for dog kennels," Sen. Douglas said. Greene said he didn't realize they were on the list. Sen. Prescott Rush. (R., Conn.), with a half smile upon his face, made an elaborate defense of dog kennels financed under auspices of Uncle Samuel. "Fact is that this home improve- their dogs. Maybe they kennen more than they need age. What's wrong with the Greene sat there with him open, but Sen. Douglas was to reply. "This is an interesting exe- of the welfare state." he said knew the welfare state p housing for people, but I know that it also put up she dogs." Sen. Bush, a banker who not senatoring, laughed. The just the point. "The whole ridiculous," he added. "An lieve Title I (for home mortgage loans) should be scary." Fire alarms came up when Wallace F. Bennett (R., read a sad letter from one constituents, who was peeled by a high pressure salesman take a loan for an alarm costing $410, including a six super-salesman told him he can't get a Federal mortgage house unless it included a alarm and he believed the cause, as he wrote, the rules were "very peculiar." He's still paying or not he doesn't need and he can't his money back. Still and Greene, who was the last Keeper administrator under the Den Administration, the entire gaging operation has returned nice profit to the government agreed Sen. Capehart, but sands of people who took their dupe. They may even been hounded on their dogs. Copyright, 1954, by Uniture Syndicate, Inc.] Kaltenborn Edits the News BY H. V. KALTENBORN and ROLF KALTENBORN While Americans have centered their attention on the Army's effort to expose the dubious morals of the McCarthy - Cohn - Schine team the world has kept anxious eyes on Geneva and Indo - China. At the Big Four Conference Red China did not win recognition as an equal. The first week brought only the expected preliminary moves. The Communists are never in a hurry. They hope to win from our impatience what they cannot win by argument. They wore us down in Korea why not in Geneva? Meanwhile the French military situation in Indo-China is getting worse. This is another reason why Molotov and Chou-En-Lai have agreed on a two-part treaty which grants Viet Nam complete independence and sets up the conditions under which Viet Nam will become part of the French Union. FIVE YEARS AGO such a treaty might have ended the war. Today it means little because neither Bao Dai nor the French exercise effective control over the state whose independence they proclaim. The pro - Communist natives of Viet Nam hold three-fourths of the country's area. They do not hold the rice-bowl areas in the North and South. But even these are in-tion that would forbid sending American troops to Indo - China without the preliminary consent of Congress. Let us have no more half-hearted wars that end in stalemate. We had our lesson in Korea. Do we need another in Indo - China? FROM H.V.'S DESK: The business depression which some economists and labor leaders predicted for this year refuses to materialize. The reduction in government spending has been offset by the building boom. Businessmen have changed their minds about reducing plans for expansion. Instead millions of dollars are flowing into all sorts of building projects. The most recent surveys reveal heavy new expenditures planned for factory improvement modernization, new equipment and expansion. New stores shopping centers hotels and large factories are springing up all over the country. The way things look now business investment in 1954 will certainly equal and may even exceed last year's record totals. THE SHEPHERD in the Kremlin Nikita Khrushchev, is shaping up as one of the most powerful new contenders for the throne left vacant by Joseph Stalin. This brilliant and ruthless Communist has built carefully, like Stalin, a powerful backing within the party machine. His rise has not been so rapid or so spectacular as that of Malenkov. Washington Scenes C. OTHMAH Sent loans business was started in the first place to stimulate building," he said. "Now, doesn't build a dog kennel stimulate work as much as putting up a new garage? Maybe the people like their dogs. Maybe they need a cannell more than they need a garage. What's wrong with that? Greene sat there with his mouth open, but Sen. Douglas was quick reply. "This is an interesting extension of the welfare state," he said. "I knew the welfare state provided housing for people, but I did not know that it also put up shelter for dogs." Sen. Bush, a banker when he's not senatoring, laughed. That was a proposal is unsatisfactory to America, yet is pressed by the French and they are prepared to surrender their influence in Indo-China by accepting a truce line that will in effect become a permanent partition, the United States will express its dissenting views and then take a look at the whole European situation as well as the South-Eastern Asian problem and decide a future course. The question to determine will be whether America has faithful Allies who will stand against the Communists when the chips are down or whether France, for instance, is ready to accept permanent dismemberment of free countries wherever Communist aggression has taken away territory not only in Asia but in Europe, particularly in Germany. This could mean some day a re-emergence of militarism in Germany because the people there will never be satisfied to accept a divided country. Some far-reaching decisions are involved here in the use of the term "partition" and in the phrase "peace-fire." It is possible that the communists themselves may unintentionally save the day by adopting such an adamant stand as to force the Allies into a union stronger than ever and eventually into a collective-action program which can safeguard Southeast Asia against Communist aggression.
