Billion Dollar Business The "Billion-Dollar-Club" isn't as exclusive as it used to be. Its membership which totaled 20 in 1929 has now reached 68. Reports for 1953 show that Metropolitan Life Insurance Company held their place by passing the $12 billion mark in total assets. The Bell Telephone was close on its heels with more than $11.9 billion and Prudential Insurance was third with $10.9 billion. Bank of America had no trouble holding the top spot among the banks with assets now well in excess of $8 billion. Phillips Petroleum and Connecticut Mutual Life Insurance came into the charmed circle during the year while International Harvester Co. dropped out. Although giant companies continue to be the natural development in our American economy, giant individual owners are rapidly becoming a thing of the past. For instance, the American Telephone & Telecom Office of Trustee of the Times seems in order since their mittee Meeting this week.

Bank of America had no trouble holding the top spot among the banks with assets now well in excess of $8 billion. Phillips Petroleum and Connecticut Mutual Life Insurance came into the charmed circle during the year while International Harvester Co. dropped out. Although giant companies continue to be the natural development in our American economy, giant individual owners are rapidly becoming a thing of the past. For instance, the American Telephone & Telegraph Company which is part of the Bell System is owned by more than 1,200,000 stockholders. Instances in which any one person owns as much as one per cent of the stock of a large company are increasingly exceptional. Hence bigness in American business stems from many small sources. And business is passing more and more from the direct control of a few owners into the hands of managers responsible to tens and hundreds of thousands of stockholders. This might be termed industrial democracy--something which is very much in keeping with the basic form of our political and civic way of life in America. Different Line A few weeks ago Soviet Premier Malenkov made the sensible acknowledgment that a war fought with the weapons now possessed by the great powers would mean the "destruction of world civilization". But last week in addressing the Supreme Soviet he expressed himself somewhat differently—and the difference could be dangerous. Said Malenkov: "If the aggressive circles, banking on the atomic weapon, should senselessly want to test the strength and might of the Soviet Union, the aggressor would without doubt be crushed by the same weapon and such adventure would inevitably lead to the ruin of the capitalist system." Why just to the "capitalist system"? Does Malenkov now feel that world civilization could survive a war of fission and fusion bombs? It is pointed out that the speech before the Supreme Soviet was made just at the time the Geneva conference was getting started and that Malenkov undoubtedly was trying to get in some heavy propaganda for his team. But even the suggestion that the Krremlin may be indulging in self-delusion should put us more than ever on our toes. Mother's Day Probably one of the best things about Mother's Day is that it often serves to awaken the rest of the family to exercise a bit more thoughtfulness of her during the rest of the year. If it doesn't do this, she seems in order since their committee Meeting this week.

Mother's Day Probably one of the best things about Mother's Day is that it often serves to awaken the rest of the family to exercise a bit more thoughtfulness of her during the rest of the year. If it doesn't do this, then Mother's Day is meaningless. In fact, to make a big fuss over mother on one day of the year, to drool with sentimentality on the occasion, and then to ignore her or to impose on her the other 364 days is nothing short of a fraud. We're for Mother's Day 100 per cent. But mothers deserve something more than a day; they deserve consistent affection and consideration. SONGS OF A SONNETEER By R. LOUIS SCOTT "HIDDEN WARNING!" This then, is Asia! The ancient Mother, Because of whose whoredoms races gained birth, Grew to manhood, wrought against each other Battles that compassed the bounds of all Earth! Slant-eyed Tatars, Mongolians, Chinese— A thousand clans to whom Life's only worth Was sated blood-lust: tribal memories Carried their sagas to far latitudes— They lipped War's wine—while Asia gulped its lees! Asia! Whose ever pregnant womb extrudes War-ready babes whose milk-wet lips are pressed Upon the sword! Ever increasing broods Force their elder kin to strive for conquest Of the North, the South, the East—and, the West! Indo-China—Today Asia—20/16 LIBRA (Sept. 24-Oct. 23) — Relation BARS ARE DOWN The David Lawrence Dispatch By DAVID LAWRENCE GENEVA. May 7—Teamwork between our allies—always difficult to achieve but absolutely essential if we are to checkmate Communist tactics — is slowly emerging here despite earlier discouragements. Nobody who has not been on the ground at one of these very complex affairs can possibly imagine the plight of the delegation representing the United States of America at the Geneva Conference. This correspondent has just read a summary of headlines and dispatches in several American newspapers for the last few days, as cabled to officials here, and could not but wonder how it feels to be an American delegates with a carping, faulifinding set of interpretations in many of the articles being printed back home which, when reproduced in Europe, tend to discredit the American delegation and weaken its hand here. The facts are simple to state. The American delegation had a broad plan. It was torpedoed in London by the British cabinet before it was launched. Out of deference to our allies and with characteristic poise, Secretary Dulles kept silent. Someone with a more sensitive nature would have blown his top at the outright reversal by the British cabinet on a pledge that had been given. But the British have their troubles, too, and their reasons for moving cautiously. When, however, they saw the criticism of their tactics mounting in official Washington, they took steps to repair the breach. The trend now is toward unity, but it is a difficult course to maintain because the British have interests far different from ours and they are apparently not as ready to accept the responsibilities of collective action in Asia as many Americans had been led to believe. Unfortunately, also internal no actually happened. This conference hasn't really started. There have been some informal discussions and proposals. Any impression the United States doesn't stop the blood-letting in India is false. Any impression that United States wants to militarily is also false. Any assertion that America wanted into Indo-China with them alone is also wrong. Then from the start a basic plan up the allies on a policy that confront the communists or alternative if they didn't peace in Indo-China. That was conceived as a meaning strengthening strength at the new table. Great Britain approves policy and then backed out the eve of the Geneva conference but since then there has been reconsideration and some original plans have been sympathetic support once again. One thing needs to be clear: the United States will pledge at Berlin that would not consent to any meant surrender to the unists in Indo-China. It wants a peaceful settlement but not by a phony "plan" or by the "Coalition movement" trick that wrecked and Czechoslovakia. So far as Korea is concerned there also have been some leading impressions given. Chinese leader called foreral election in Korea supervision by the U.N. The allies looked with favor idea in principle. But there were more to the problem. Thus, how can there be a election in North Korea if munist troops are there? Here there be any campaigning out the northern part of the before the voting takes place coercion prevails? And what Under the current conditions existing in the United States, that of attempting to return the government to people, taking it away from the various Bureaus, auctions and not being a rubber stamp activity, requires that men who now seek and hold public office have a certain definite set of qualifications. Of these necessary qualifications the most important is their ability to work with the public, and being able to wisely adopt their wishes in the operation of the organization or office they have been placed in trust to administer. They must have the ability and strength to face necessary changes when required and not be induced by pressure groups. They must have, as part of their makeup, the basic traditions and ideals of the United States to forestall any attempt to subvert the things and presentations to students. They must have the ability to seek out, understand and enforce laws in school administration so that the student accepts the necessary background to fit him for the life well-balanced adult upon graduation. They must have the knowledge or the know-how to obtain information regarding the spending of the tax dollar that supports the public schools and to see that the maximum amount is obtained in each expenditure. From their presentations to the committee and the answers to questions asked by those in attendance, two men who seem to have the most necessary qualifications are Rector Coons and Al Holve. Their reasons for aspiring to the positions, their background of information regarding the position as demonstrated by their answers to questions, shows that they fitted to administer and give to the citizens of Anaheim the excellent schools everyone so highly desires.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — If you were conscientious yesterday and finished all your work, you can relax today. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 22) — You may find it fun to invite guests in for the evening. Pay back some social obligations. CAPRICORN (Dec. 23-Jan.20) — You probably have some home chores to finish. Get them done early in the morning if you can. AQUARIUS (Jan. 21-Feb. 19) — Either make a visit or invite friends to your own home. Get out of that ivory tower for the day. When, however, they saw the criticism of their tactics mounting in official Washington, they took steps to repair the breach. The trend now is toward unity, but it is a difficult course to maintain because the British have interests far different from ours and they are apparently not ready to accept the responsibilities of collective action in Asia as many Americans had been led to believe. Unfortunately, also, internal politics in every country, including our own, plays a damaging role and makes negotiating a precarious task. It isn't a threatened overthrow of the cabinet in France, it's a general election in Australia and, of course, a constant effort by the British Labor Party to unseat the Churchill-Eden government. None of this, however, handicaps the communist side. Indeed, the communists get an abundance of news space not only in Europe but in America. The obsolete propaganda statements of Chou En Lai got equal if not better news treatment in some of the large newspapers in America than the remarkable address by Secretary of State Dulles on the same day. This is a battle of publicity to influence public opinion, and it is tragic that the American Press has in some instances been giving the impression that the chief of the American Delegation was discredited back home. In fact, one headline from a American newspaper that made a deep impression at Geneva said that Secretary Dulles on his return faced in Washington the stormiest criticism of his career, and there were references to "Defeat" and "Failure," all of which is utterly at variance with the facts of what As It Was Told To Me By HARMAN NICHOLS WASHINGTON (UP)—The head lawn-mower at the White House isn't out of character when he gets to his 110 by 60-foot lot in Alexandria after a hard day on Pennsylvania Ave. He just gets behind his 15-year-old machine and hand pushes it over his own grass. Robert Redman has been a gardener around the White House since he was 16. He broke in right after President Warren Harding died and since has worked himself up to head gardener. He knows all about hedges and azaleas and roses and tulips and such. And he uses this knowledge leading impressions given by Chinese leader called for a general election in Korea supervised by the U.N. Says that allies looked with favor idea in principle. But there more to the problem. Thus, how can there be a election in North Korea munist troops are there? Here be any campaigning taken out the northern part of that before the voting takes place coercion prevails? And why pens to the government are which has been formally used by the United Nations operating under a constitution adopted by the people in election supervised by the U.N. A constitutional government out just because the age want that done? South Korea have its regular election for national assembly on May 20. Have another election later does anybody think the central government at Seoul can maintain morale of its Army—the most useful in Asia outside of their unist orbit—if the constituent is to be decapitated der of the communist delight at Geneva? These are not easy questions determine and require a lot cate handling if the unified Korea is to be accomplished mainly the one million Chinese munist troops now occupying Korea will have to be willed before any free election held there. Nobody shouldthe American negotiate Geneva. (Reproduction rights reserved) (Copyright, 195, New York aid Tribune Inc.) have strong opinions but, you have an inquiring mind.

There's No Substitute for Paid Circulation. New Products By V. G. VARTAN NEW YORK—(UP)—A new portable stove that operates on propane gas is tailored for campers, sportsmen and picknickers. For ease in carrying, the stove folds up into its own metal "suitcase." Flexible fuel lines link the twin curners to the disposable gas cylinders. After setting up the unit, the camper simply opens a valve and ignites the gas with a match to start preparing the meal. The entire stove weighs only 16 pounds. The propane cylinders contain enough fuel for about nine hours of cooking time—or almost a full week of cooking three meals a day. The "Porta-Chef" has home and office uses, too. It can prepare meals in the backyard on hot summer nights, as well as helping out for coffee breaks in factories and offices. For cottages and lodges, the stove eliminates the need for a regular unit and is free from sudden power failure. (Otto Bernz Co., Rochester, N. Y.)

Othman's Views on Washington Scenes BY FREDERICK C. OTHMAN actually happened. This conference hasn't really gotten started. There have been the usual propaganda statements and some informal discussions of ideas and proposals. Any impression that the United States doesn't want to stop the blood-letting in Indo-China is false. Any impression that the United States wants to intervene militarily is also false. Any impression that America wanted to go into Indo-China with the British alone is also wrong. There was from the start a basic plan to line up the allies on a policy that would confront the communists with an alternative if they didn't make peace in Indo-China. That policy was conceived as a means of getting strength at the negotiating table. Great Britain approved the policy and then backed out just on the eve of the Geneva conference, but since then there has been a consideration and some of the original plans have been given impatietic support once more. One thing needs to be made clear: the United States was given pledge at Berlin that France could not consent to any plan that meant surrender to the commanders in Indo-China. America wants a peaceful settlement there but not by a phony "partition" plan or by the "Coalition Government" trick that wrecked Poland and Czechoslovakia. So far as Korea is concerned, here also have been some misleading impressions given. The Red Chinese leader called for a "general election" in Korea without supervision by the U.N. Some of the allies looked with favor on the idea in principle. But there is a lot more to the problem. Thus, how can there be any free election in North Korea if communist troops are there? How can there be any campaigning throughout the northern part of the country before the voting takes place if persecution prevails? And what happens? WASHINGTON—One of my newsreel friends, the one who measures with a light meter the glare of the Senatorial spotlights, rushed up with news that he'd spotted a fine, symmetrical Christmas tree for the McCarthy-Army hearings. He said he does not intend to chop it down and set it up in the Senate Caucus Room until along about December, when he believes it will be appreciated by those glued over the long months to their seats at ringside. Even as my man whispered his yule tidies, all thoughts of an early end to the proceedings faded faster than a TV close-up of Army Secretary Robert Stevens. So my sentimentalist said he hoped I'd help him collect some decorations for the tree. He said he believed these should consist of empty champagne bottles from the Stork Club, a couple of hundred exploded flash bulbs (which are in surplus supply on the Senate's red carpet), some of Sen. Karl E. Mundt's discarded tobacco cans, and perhaps a few tarnished reputations. But that's enough of these pleasant thoughts; let us get back to this, the ninth day of be investigation into the charges and the countercharges of Sen. Joe McCarthy (R., Wis.) and Stevens, the textile magnate who quit to head the U.S. Army. Sen. McCarthy's wife hobbled in on crutches (she'd been bumped by a New York taxi) and she struck me as the prettiest lady in a room crowded with members of her sex. Sen. Joe arrived shortly thereafter, lugging a briefcase big enough to hold two suits of clothes and a box lunch. Then the lights went up and if Alice only had been there, it would have been Wonderland. The senators, almost everyone, spoke at length of the need for hurrying the proceedings. They agreed that their vigil of the night before, seek happy he could report; the senators were in good humor at their hurry-up meeting. So Sen. McCarthy charged not once but twice that the Army's counsel, Joseph Welch, had welled on an agreement to limit the witnesses to Stevens and McCarthy alone. Welch said he had not, either, welsed. He said he'd made no such agreement. Came then the lawyer for H. Struve Hensel, the assistant secretary of defense, to say the latter wouldn't allow McCarthy to drop charges against him, unless the senator apologized. Never, said Sen. McCarthy. Sen. Henry C. Dworshak (R., Idaho) said plaintively that he was a member of 12 other committees and had much to do aside from listening to the daily wrangles in the Caucus Room. Sen. Henry M. Jackson (D., Wash) clarified the issues once again by reading aloud the charges of both sides. Sen. Everett M. Dirksen (R., Ill) said he couldn't understand why Welch had changed his mind. When all the lawgivers had their say (and this ran to a good many words) Chairman Mundt said, anyway, he'd hope all the attorneys involved would try to concoct a scheme to rush along the hearings. Sen. McCarthy said he wouldn't confer again with counsellor Welch unless the latter were under oath. He said he wanted no part of any deal with a man who changed his mind. Welch broke in to say he wasn't guilty of bad faith. He said the allegation was false. Then there was some more yammering and Stevens finally got to testify for about 10 minutes, before the gentlemen went to lunch. He didn't say much. At that rate of progress, I'm not so sure about a genuine Christmas leading impressions given. The Red Chinese leader called for a "general election" in Korea without supervision by the U.N. Some of the allies looked with favor on the area in principle. But there is a lot more to the problem. Thus, how can there be any free election in North Korea if communist troops are there? How can there be any campaigning through it at the northern part of the country before the voting takes place if mercurial prevails? And what happens to the government at Seoul which has been formally recognized by the United Nations and is operating under a constitution adopted by the people in a free election supervised by the U.N.? Is constitutional government wiped out just because the aggressors want that done? South Korea will have its regular election for its national assembly on May 20. Must it have another election later on, and does anybody think the central government at Seoul can maintain the morale of its Army—the most powerful in Asia outside of the communist orbit—if the constituted government is to be decapitated or or of the communist delegations Geneva? These are not easy questions to determine and require a lot of deliberate handling if the unification of Korea is to be accomplished. Certainly the one million Chinese communist troops now occupying North Korea will have to be withdrawn before any free election can be held there. Nobody should envy American negotiators in Geneva.

Chairman Mundt, puffing his pipe, said one thing Science By DELOS SMITH United Press Science Editor NEW YORK — In case you've ever wondered how the much publicised "miracle drugs" for tuberculosis turned out in the long run, here are some telling statistics from New York's huge Bellevue Hospital: Before 1946, one out of every five children admitted to the TB ward died. One out of every 100 die now. Tuberculosis meningitis was 100 per cent fatal before 1946. Now only 12 children out of 100 die. "Galloping TB"—more properly, military tuberculosos—has killed only one child in the Bellevue ward since Jan. 1, 1947. Like TB meningitis, it used to be a death warrant for anyone who had it. These figures were provided by Dr. Edith M. Lincoln, who is in charge of Bellevue's Children's Chest Clinic. They reflect dramatic declines in the TB death rate which are general throughout the country. First Came Streptomycin Bee dated the sharp decline from Jan. 1, 1947, the beginning of the year when it first became possible to slaughter TB bacteria with chemicals—"drugs". The first effective one was the antibiotic, streptomycin. Before it was developed, getting well from tuberculosis was largely a matter of developing the body's own resistance to the bacteria. It wasn't possible to take the offensive against them. Streptomycin was an offensive weapon, and the death rate began to drop immediately. In tuberculosis meningitis in the Bellevue SB ward, for example, it dropped from 100 per cent to 32 per cent between 1947 and 1951. He said he wanted no part of any deal with a man who changed his mind. Welch broke in to say he wasn't guilty of bad faith. He said the allegation was false. Then there was some more yammering and Stevens finally got to testify for about 10 minutes, before the gentlemen went to lunch. He didn't say much. At that rate of progress, I'm not so sure about a genuine Christmas tree for the Caucus Room. A plastic one might be better, so it could be saved, year after year. isoniazid which you will recall, was publicized as the most miraculous of "miracle drugs." The enthusiasm was excessive. Nevertheless, as Dr. Lincoln pointed out, streptomycin dropped the death rate of primary tuberculosis from more than 20 per cent to five per cent and isoniazid dropped it to 1.5 per cent. Combinations Developed The TB bugs are tough. Some showed "resistance" to one drug or another and from them generated whole strains of bacteria which were "resistant" — which could "take" the drug, survive, and multiply. Thus treatment of TB with chemicals has become a matter of combinations of drugs so that bacteria which resisted one would be knocked off by the other. The American Trudeau Society, which is the medical section of the National Tuberculosis Association, reported on a new such combination, of isoniazid with pyrasimazine, which will completely eradicate the tuberele bacilli in mice. No other combination will do that. But it seems to have a potential of damaging the liver, and the effort now is to retain its super bacteria-killing power while eliminating whatever constituent it is that causes the toxie reaction.
