Hope has been expressed for cooperation among the few remaining free Nations strong enough to stay the Communist tide there with a united voice, or if necessary, with united action. Yet the tide of hope ebbs and flows from day to day. The French and native allies there are fighting magnificently—but at home the weak French government vacillates. Britain is wary and non-committal. Governments confer, but so far inconclusively. Recent history is strewn with grim "Munichs". There was a Munich when America held back and let Russia capture Berlin. A Munich when Russia was actually coaxed into the war on Japan when that war already was won. There was a Munich in Korea when our forces withheld the power to force a decisive victory.- Senator William F. Knowland, among others, has expressed fear of another Munich in Indo-China.

There was a Munich in Korea when our forces withheld the power to force a decisive victory. Senator William F. Knowland, among others, has expressed fear of another Munich in Indo-China. No one can foretell the final disposition of the Indo-China dilemma. All that seems sure, in this day of history, is that the only strength upon which America can rely absolutely is her own strength. To Benefit the Human Race The Argonaut, of San Francisco, recently paid high tribute to the achievements of American medicine—and to its fight against government-dominated medicine. The president of the American Medical Association had made a talk in the city. This talk, the Argonaut observed, "was a ringing challenge to anyone who would question the progress of medicine in the past quarter-century, or the independence, integrity and selflessness of the organization which he heads. It is... a voluntary association of 150,000 medical practitioners dedicated to the extension of their skill into the field of public service. They do not believe that the individual citizen in a free society should be dependent upon government for health care, but instead should have direct recourse to privately instituted facilities." The magazine then dealt with some of the achievements of the last 25 years. Such once-prevalent and dread diseases as typhoid, smallpox, diphtheria and rabies have all but disappeared. The polio virus has been isolated. And there is every hope that such killers as cancer and heart disease will be greatly subdued in the relatively near future. To quote the Argonaut once more, "This has come about through individual effort and achievement, to no end but to benefit the human race." All of us, doctors and laymen alike, should take pride and gratification in free medicine's splendid achievements in our behalf. Ten Years Ago Lt.

NEEDLE IN A HAYSTACK AUTO NEWS by Harry Elliott News Service YOUR CAR IS INTERNATIONAL The performance, durability and even appearance of your car are better because the automotive industry scours world markets for minerals not available in this country, according to Automotive Facts, publication of the Automobile Manufacturers Association. Automotive imports of five basic metals alone - lead, copper, nickel, tin, and zinc - totaled an estimated $180 million last year. Our good neighbors, Canada produces 99 per cent of all nickel we use. Mexico is principal supplier of antimony, three-quarters of which we must import. Both nations are among our principal sources of copper, lead and zinc. Canada also sends mica, and Mexico and Cuba, manganese. Our dependence upon imports of these seven materials ranges from 35 to 95 per cent. Dependence is not one-way, however. Goods of many foreign nations roll in substantial part on American wheels, says Automobile Facts. Last year, we exported more than 325,000 cars, trucks and buses. And during the past 50 years, the total has exceeded $8 billion. MAY IS SAFETY CHECK MONTH With vacation time just around the corner, American motorists should be quick to take advantage of free inspection of brakes, lights, tires, steering, and other safety features on their cars during nationwide May Safety Check. Automobile dealers in every community in America are offering their service facilities to assist in the program, hoping that this year's effort will far surpass that of 1953. More than one of every vehicles checked last year failed to pass inspection on one or more counts.

FEDERAL HIGHWAY AID UPPED FOR CALIFORNIA President Eisenhower approved last week a record-setting $47 million a year in Federal Aid authorization for California's state highway construction program, according to the California State Automobile Association. This represents a 55 per cent increase in allocations. During each of the two fiscal years beginning July 1, 1955, the state's primary highways will receive $14,460,000, secondary highways $7,450,000, and urban streets and highways $15,340,000. In these three categories of Federal Aid, California's portion is increased 27 per cent. In addition, $9,750,000 has been allotted for California's 1,900 miles of the nationwide Interstate Highway System. According to Harold J. McCurry, CSAA president, this represents an increase of 840 per cent or considerably more than the nationwide average increase of 700 per cent. Although actual monies must still be appropriated by Congress at its next session, the bill gives the state a basis on which plan future highway construction and provide necessary matching funds, McCurry said.

Gleseking Debussy Series From Angel comes the news that it plans to offer all the piano music of Debussy as played by Walter Gleseking who, probably, is the greatest living master of the Debussy piano. The first record of the series is made up of nine pieces from his formative youth plus six of his maturity but of secondary importance. Yet all are needed to understand fully the greatest piano composer following Chopin. The newest recording of Bach's "Christmas Oratorio" is a stirring achievement. The voices are young, and the composer is well served by musical strictness leavened with warmth and ardor. It was made by the Detmold (Germany) Academy of Music's choir and orchestra with Kurt Thomas conducting (L'Oiseau-Lyre; three 12 inch LPs). Modern composers are well served by Leopold Stokowski and by the Louisville Symphony, Robert Whitney, conductor. The former recorded Lou Harrison's suite for violin, piano, and small orchestra and Ben Weber's 12-tone settings or poems by William Blake (RCA Victor); the latter, Lukas Foss' "A Parable of Death," an Intermezzo of Bohuslav Martinu, and Darius Milhaud's divertissement on 20 Kentucky airs, "Kentuckiana" (Columbia).

In WASHINGTON — For two days now the gentleman from Wisconsin has been the sphinx of the capital. Sen. Joe McCarthy has uttered not one protest, issued no points of order, or eve risen on a point of personal privilege at the special investigation into his battle with the Army. He's just sat there mostly with a faint smile on his lips, and this is news. In all his years in the U.S. Senate, Sen. Joe never has been so still for 48 hours running. What has happened? He's not talking about how his tongue got tied. One theory among habitats of the Senate Caucus Room is that the questioning of Army counselor John Adams isn't important enough for him to join. The other, more widely accepted idea, is that his frequent outbursts during the last two weeks brought him many bitter communications from TV's great, unknown audience. Whatever the reason the result is peace, and it is wonderful. So there was committee counsel Ray Jenkins, wearing his Halloween or cross-examiner expression, giving the business to Adams. Didn't he really try to get the Senator to abandon his inquiry into communism at the radar laboratories at Ft. Monmouth, N.J.? Didn't he give favors to Pvt. G. David Schine in order to influence the latters pal, Roy Cohn. Questions like that, All delivered belligerently. Adams kept saying he did no such thing and there all the time was Sen. McCarthy conferring with young Cohn. They seemed to be intensely interested in what appeared to be a carbon copy of a letter. This they shoved eventually to the press table, where the document turned out to be a letter from the Senator to the Secretary of Agriculture suggesting that he investigate some alleged hankypank in the grain business on the Chicago Board of Trade. McCarthy the price of wheat than he was in the passes for the long week ends that the Army issued to Private Schine. The private, himself, was in and out of the chamber, with a retinue of photographers following him. The trouble seemed to be that the Army had said he either could stay at Ft. Myer, Va., or he could attend the hearings in person Private Schine felt embarrassed under all the bright lights, and what he wanted to do was watch the proceedings in private somewhere on a 21-inch screen. Apparently he got his wish. So Jenkins examined Adams at a rapid rate. When he asked short questions he got short answers. Long questions resulted in lengthy replies and that was fair enough. By midafternoon the photographers were focusing their cameras on a large, curly-haired man in the front row of spectators. He turned out to be Sen. McCarthy's archenemy, Hank Greenspun, the Las Vegas, Nev., newspaper publisher. Greenspun has printed items about the Senator such as no newspaper, as'd from his own Las Vegas Sun, would publish. And here they were for the first time, face to face. Hank glared at the Senator, but Sen. Joe kept smiling faintly. He probably didn't even realize who was scowling at him. The day passed with no interruptions of any kind from anybody, and while I can't say that the committee learned anything new about the Senator's battle with the Army, nonetheless Jenkins was making a real dent in his list of questions. If the sphinx from Wisconsin maintains his silence, my guess is that the proceedings will end a good deal quicker than anybody last week could have imagined.

In the Ford-Chevrolet battle, Ford broke two postwar daily production marks in a row. However, Chevy managed to widen its production lead because of Ford's earlier reduced schedules. On the sales front it was a different story. With the final tally in the box, Ford outsold Chevrolet for the first three months of this year by 202 cars for an undisputed lead. All three Ford lines showed gains for the quarter as did four out of five General Motors models. Only Cadillac showed a slight decrease less than one-half per cent. The Big Three again shared the major production between them taking 95.9 per cent last week against 95.3 the previous week. GM accounted for 53.8 per cent against 4.4 a week earlier; Ford took 29.2 compared with 28.8; and Chrysler produced 12.9 as against 13.1 per cent. On yearly comparison of total production, GM was up from 45.4 per cent, Ford up from 20.9 and Chrysler dropped from 21.2. General Motors announced its decision to rehabilitate the Livonia dramatic plant site, destroyed by fire last August, with a Fisher body fabricating plant. Total plant area will be approximately 920,000 square feet when completed in early 1955.

McCarthy apparently was more interested in Science By DELOS SMITH United Press Science Editor NEW YORK—(UP)—If strenuous exertion in youth weaken the heart of middle age — or, to put it the other way if lack of strenuous exertions strengthens the middle-age heart — you can't prove anything by the sportsmen and scholars of Cambridge. Sir Alan Rook, senior health officer of that venerable English university, whose athletic contests with Oxford are celebrated for strenuousness, checked up on the men who had distinguished themselves either as athletes or as scholars at Cambridge from 1860 to 1900. He also chose a random group of men who had distinguished themselves in nothing. He wanted to find out which men had lived the longest — the sportsmen, the scholars, or the nonentities — and whether diseases of the heart and arteries had killed more or fewer athletes than scholars. He found out that the scholars had averaged about 1.5 years longer lives than the sportsmen, "but this small difference," he concluded. "Might well be due to chance." The athletes and the random men lived for about the same number of years. And he found no evidence that cardiovascular diseases killed more sportsmen or killed them at earlier ages. Suicide Ratio But he did find a suicide ratio of 40.9 per 1,000 among the intellectuals and a ratio of only 8.6 per 1,000 among the sportsmen and the undistinguished. "The likelihood that these figures are due to chance is less than one in a hundred," he observed. The groups were made up of 772 Cambridge men who had won a "blue" in one or more sports; 374 men whose names appeared on the were just names in the "alumni Cantabrigienses." He took the first name on every tenth page. The average age of death of the sportsmen was 67.97; of the scholars, 69.41; of the random group, 67.43. He broke his survival rates down by ages from 20 to 90 and from these figures decided that: "Up to the age of 40 the sportsmen had slightly better prospects, of living longer), the differences seen in the other two groups probably being the result of deaths of weaklings who, from their physical attributes, would be unlikely to be drawn to sports. At 40 years the intellectual group has caught up to the sportsmen; after this the sportsmen and the random group keep closely together, while the intellectuals have a slight but distinct advantage at each age." Not Conclusive He noted that his results were not in total agreement with American studies which gave scholars a "distinctly greater expectation of life" than sportsmen. But he wasn't inclined to insist that the little difference he found was due either to youthful strenuousness or to chance. "The psychological factors which attract men to take part in strenuous and sometimes hazardous pastimes are often not wholly satisfied by such activities, and sportsmen are more inclined to live dangerously than their less energetic neighbors," he said in his report in the British Medical Journal. "Hence, when a study of the longevity and of the cause of death of sportsmen is probably the only method at present available for ascertainting whether in the long run strenuous exertion is, or is pot, harmful to the cardiovascular system, it is a method that is beset with pitfalls and one which justifies only tentative conclusions."

Poff concludes that would take 600 volumes to print, 400 pages per book.
