To End a National Scandal
A conference of Federal Court judges meeting in San Francisco last week adopted a resolution which is sure to have the backing of the great majority of Californians.
The Judges voted support to legislation currently before Congress to stop State felons from petitioning for writs in Federal Courts except in special cases involving matters of Federal concern. Their action referred specifically to the Caryl Chessman case, which they termed a "national scandal."
Californians like people everywhere, are probably pretty evenly divided on the issue of capital punishment. But they will agree with the Federal Judges that cases like that of Chessman, who has avoided execution once again after seven years of legal maneuvers bounced back and forth between State and Federal courts, make a mockery of justice.
Thought for Food
A noted Harvard nutritionist has just come up with bad news for brides who pride themselves as cooks. He says that American women are killing their husbands with culinary kindness, and that if a wife wants to defer widowhood she shouldn’t be too eager to let Henry take that second helping. Overeating, he claims, can be as lethal as overloading the gun in a game of Russian roulette.
We refrain gallantly from making one obvious observation on the deadly quality of some cooking, and content ourselves with paraphrasing the old song: "A gourmand is hard to find—alive."
If the doctor is correct in his theory about the overstuffing of males, it may be necessary to revise that plaint of the foot sufferers to read:
"My feed is killing me."
DOCTOR'S NOTEBOOK
By
GLEN R. SHEPHERD, M.D.
ACCIDENT-PROOF
YOUR HOME NOW
Do you really know the leading cause of injury and death in children? Is it polio or rheumatic fever? Is it any disease? No, it is none of these.
Accidents are the chief cause of death from infancy to middle age. Neither wonder drugs nor vaccines can prevent accidents.
Only you can stop these childhood accidents that hospitalize and kill more children than all the diseases put together. Right in your supposedly safe home are many menaces to children. Have you checked your home lately with your eye on what could endanger a curious untrained child?
Burns are first on the list of home accidents. That pothandle sticking out over the edge of the stove can be irresistibly attractive to little Barbara. She can reach up while your back is turned and pull a pan of boiling liquid over her. But it won't harm if pothandles are always turned in over the stove.
To small boys the edge of the tablecloth looks like a mighty good thing to pull on. But suppose there is a cup of boiling hot tea or coffee on the edge of that table.
It can be even worse in the basement while you are doing the laundry where the pans are bigger and the water is hotter. Little Susan can fall into a hot tub very quickly.
Matches are simply fascinating to nearly all children. Just a little stick of wood or cardboard with a ball of stuff on the end that you can scrape and make fire—pretty, yellow, flickering fire. Matches are too much competition for any "don'ts" that Mother may have given want to learn. Perhaps the best thing is to show them how a match lights, show how hot it is without seriously burning the child, and then put all the matches way up out of their reach.
Another burn that is terribly tragic and always preventable is caused by lye. Cleaning compounds for drains and toilets are simply lye. It looks good enough to eat to a small child; but one swallow can so sear the child's gullet that it will close up. If the child doesn't die right away from the lye, many years of hospital care will be needed. All that is necessary to prevent this brutal accident is to keep the lye on a very high shelf.
The same goes for all medicines. Too much gulped by a child can poison, even though it might be only aspirin. Medicines insecticides, paint removers, and kerosene should be stored out of reach or in locked cupboards. They certainly should be in their own containers and not in milk or pop bottles that might encourage a child to drink—and die.
Wheeled toys and balls on stairs are waiting to trip you or your child into a fatal or bone-breaking fall.
Just the other day I saw an eight-year-old boy pushing, and pulling back toward him, a gasoline rotary power mower. If he had pulled it back over his foot, he might have lost a foot. No physician could have restored that foot after it had been cut off by the savagely whirling might of the mower. Unless father teaches that boy to use such a mower safely—teaches him never to, pull it back toward him—the boy shouldn't be allowed near it.
HOLLYWOOD
Crosby Cousins Now Subject of Controversy
By ALINE MOSBY
HOLLYWOOD — Two of the brightest young stars on the summer programs are cousins Cathy and Gary Crosby, but they're the subject of a current controversy over whether they'll last on their own.
Sixteen-year-old Cathy sings on her father Bob's afternoon TV show. Gary, son of Bing, croons on his own CBS radio program and appears once a week on uncle Bob's show.
One trade paper summed up Gary's show as "nothing to get excited about, but nothing to run away from, either...pleasing and light...patterned after his father's..." Trade experts agree Cathy "does not have the vocal talent Gary has, but is so cute and ambitious she may wind up bigger in pictures."
Cathy sounds vaguely like a member of the Crosby family, but she plans to expand her skills with dancing and dramatic lessons so she can stand on her own talent.
"I know I wouldn't have gotten the job as easily as I did if I hadn't had the Crosby name," the pert brunette said. "And the name is a disadvantage in a way because you have to live up to it—I have to be as good as every Crosby."
"I'm taking the dancing lessons because that's what I've always wanted. They can say I inherited my voice, but the dancing will be my own."
Cathy plans to take only one more year of high school. Gary quit school after his junior year in college to go into show business.
He had tasted it when he subbed for his father last summer on CBS.

"I'm taking the dancing lessons because that's what I've always wanted. They can say I inherited my voice, but the dancing will be my own."
Cathy plans to take only one more year of high school. Gary quit school after his junior year in college to go into show business.
He had tasted it when he subbed for his father last summer on CBS.
"I felt I was wasting my time at school and accomplishing nothing," he said. "I was going to make show business my life career and I wasn't getting any place with it through Stanford. Yes, I guess dad was disappointed when I didn't finish."
Gary said his agent "got me the summer radio show although dad probably helped a lot that I don't know about." Gary combined forces with a prominent young arranger and conductor, Buddy Bregman.
"Buddy and I decided we're two young fellows who are going to bring radio back, not that it ever went any place," he grinned.
He admitted, "I know a lot of the time I sound like dad on the show. But, after all, I spent 22 years with the company and some of it is bound to rub off. A lot of the time I'll change the lines the script writers hand me so they sound more like Jack Leonard, say, than my dad.
"I don't mind taking my dad's advice," he added. "I'm a newcomer to show business--it's just my name that's old, really."
Gary has established himself in the movie colony by helping reactivate an old theatrical charity society, the Thailans. He also inherited the Crobsby trait of being shy, modest and/or tongue-tied around some of the press. He seems unhappy that he's a "two-some" in the gossip columns with young starlets.
"Garbage!" he snorted. "That's a lot of jazz. I wish I was half the ladies' man those columns make me out to be."

Your Birthday Forecast
By STELLA
FRIDAY, JULY 29 — Born today, you have a great deal of physical vitality and you cannot endure to rest quietly for very long at a time. You want to be on the go as much as possible and if things get too quiet in your vicinity, you are inclined to stir them up for excitement! You are pessimistic about life and are always thinking too much of the dark side, rather than the good side of things. But there are times when you are a "Pollyanna" and this temperamental swing from optimism to pessimism and back again is often a handicap to steady accomplishment. When you are in the mood, you can fight tigers! When discouraged, you will let down and do nothing for a while. And doing nothing is anathema—so you may do the wrong thing!
Your judgment is not always as clear as it should be and you will need to make a careful study of cause and effect, if you are to be able to do as you should all the time. You have one of those magnetic personalities which draws people to you. Since your talent for leadership is marked, you must always hold your ideas high.
You have a strong feeling for the occult and there is probably a streak of mysticism in your nature which even you find hard to understand at all times. Attractive to members of the opposite sex, you will probably have more than one romance—perhaps more than one marriage, as well. Unless you discipline yourself you may never reach true emotional stability. Marriage to just the right person would help, however.
Among those born on this date are: Booth Tarkington, Don Marquis, authors; Max Nordau and William Beebee, scientists; Edwin H. Stevens, inventor; Edward Moran and Eastman Johnson, artists; William Powell,

BACKSTAIRS AT THE WHITE HOUSE
Jest About Eisenhower’s Trip to Moscow May Turn Out to Be More of Factual Prediction
By MERRIMAN SMITH
United Press White House Writer
WASHINGTON (UP) — Backstairs at the White House:
It was at the windup of the recent Big Four meeting in Geneva. Two lower echelon members of the American delegation staff were talking about the efforts of a particularly well-known American correspondent to get a visa to Russia.
“He’s probably trying to get the visa in time for President Eisenhower’s trip to Moscow,” said one of the staff members with a perfectly serious face.
While this would seem to be more facetious than factual for the moment, it still was Mr. Eisenhower, himself, who told America last Monday night that there was “the greatest possible degree of agreement” at Geneva on a greater flow of travel between East and West.
If the President is so desirous of greater travel between this country and Russia, he could take the lead himself—but probably won’t. The Russian leaders undoubtedly would have to visit Washington first. In all of the international meetings of the past on the chief of state level, it has been the American who flew either into or near the Russian orbit.
Colorful figures that they are, if Messrs. Bulganin, Khrushchev and Zhukov decided to visit the United States, they would constitute one of the greatest crowd attractions of many years, just as Mr. Eisenhower would in Moscow.
Mr. Eisenhower must have had the sound engineers half-daffy during his Monday night broadcast. Throughout his 15-minute speech, he fiddled constantly with his glasses, banging them on his desk and frequently hitting the tips of the ear pieces together as he sought to emphasize particular points.
The President’s delivery and performance were convincing natural, but he seemed unusual “busy” as he played with glasses, shuffled notes on his left vest pocket.

THE DAVID LAWRENCE DISPATCH
Case of Talbott Brings Up Just What Is Ethical In Day-By-Day Conduct of Persons in Government
WASHINGTON — Just what is "ethical" or "unethical" in the day-by-day conduct of persons who enter the government service from business and the professions?
The case of Harold Talbott, secretary of the Air Force, sharpens the issue. He told the Senate Committee, when he was confirmed for his present post in 1953, that he was giving up all his connections except one, his special partnership in Paul B. Mulligan & Company, a management engineering firm. He said in recent testimony that he had not in any way promoted business for the Mulligan Company in connection with Air Force contracts.
Testimony was adduced that Mulligan had solicited business from contractors who had defense contracts with the government, and some of them had a negligible amount with the Air Force. Was it ethical for Mr. Talbott to continue this partnership after his confirmation, and should the Senate Committee have told him that it was unethical when he was confirmed? Should any official engage in a sideline of a money-making nature while drawing a salary from the government as a full-time employee?
The late President Franklin D. Roosevelt didn't see anything improper in allowing his private secretary, Louis Howe, to receive more than $1,000 a week from a Public Utility company for a broadcast over a National Radio network. Nor did Mr. Roosevelt see anything improper in intervening from the White House with business men to help his sons in their commercial endeavors.
But all of this was under a Democratic Administration. Officials of the Eisenhower Republic make speeches and receive large sums as "honorariums." Some of these fees come from labor unions and from trade associations, many of which are interested in legislation pending before congress. Is it ethical for members of congress to accept such fees?
Averell Harriman was secretary of commerce in President Truman's cabinet, but was not requested to give up his huge holdings in the Union Pacific Railroad.
Martin Durkin was secretary of labor in President Eisenhower's cabinet, and the senate voted confirmation without requesting him to sever his relations with the plumbers' union with which he still had a contract, though he was given leave of absence and his pension rights were continued while he was on duty in the government.
Edward F. Howrey was formerly the attorney for Firestone Company, and is now chairman of the Federal Trade Commission. When the Firestone case came up before the commission, he took no part in it. When the commission voted three to none to file an appeal from the court decision which was in favor of the Firestone Company, Mr. Howrey urged the Department of Justice to appeal the case to a higher court, which is exactly the opposite from the position he had once taken on that issue as a private lawyer. He thinks he should be commended for this action, but Representative Joe Evins, Democrat of Tennessee, member of the House Small Business Committee, said Mr. Howrey's action had raised a "grave ethical question."
Perhaps the Talbott case will focus attention on the entire issue of ethics in the government.
wore a coal black silk suit which he insisted was wearing and a yellow shirt, which he was maize. With this he had back tie with small maize spots and on him it looked fine. Trouble was it rapidly was going out of style.
When he brought his black suit year, he said, dark colors at the height of style. Every store in the country was advertising charcoal shades. This such clothes still are widely but by spring, said Eddie, will be old stuff. The word for its light colors. That isn't all last year double-breasted suits being going out of style. This almost anybody who wore one advertising the fact that his shoes were old. Several firms went into the mail order business of turning double-breasters in inglers. Eddie said he doubted more than five percent of the sold this year were double-stressed.
Do now," said he, "the double about to make a comeback. The team tailors will sell double-stressed suits to their clients this and winter. And by spring such will be very popular again." Course, he added, they'll be model double breasters, with lappels and a minimum of slip across the middle. He's always ordered one for himself. It have flap pockets (the combing) and one breast pocket, henceforth are out. He suggested I have that extra pocket my own suit ripped off.
Eddie went on to say that colored skirts will be more widely worn year than white; they'll have cuffs and these will be held either with gay-colored links. He paired with maize lions on also had with him a pair of rolled cotton and silk slacks, coloured purple. He said he'd like to be me a gift of them if I'd raise to wear 'em. I wouldn't raise to wear 'em. I wouldnt raise to wear 'em. He said well, maybe. I will use them in McLean, Va., so plowing my beaten-up acres might.
Is I offered to consider. Eddie such slacks were going to be thing in 1956, in mint, maize, and a dozen other shades. I'm inclined to doubt, but
Dr. Roosevelt didn't see anything improper in allowing his private secretary, Louis Howe, to receive more than $1,000 a week from a Public Utility company for a broadcast over a National Radio network. Nor did Mr. Roosevelt see anything improper in intervening from the White House with business men to help his sons in their commercial endeavors.
But all of this was under a Democratic Administration. Officials of the Eisenhower Republican Administration are supposed to be above such things.
It develops, however, that Mr. Talbott, while secretary of the Air Force, wrote letters to friends of long standing and told them about the services of the Engineering company, which it appears saved a lot of money for its clients because of the introduction of efficient methods.
If Mr. Talbott's action is considered now to be unethical, what was the responsibility of the Senate Committee which confirmed him and failed to look into it?
What is the responsibility also of the House and Senate today with respect to those members who continue to receive regular income from their law firms back home whose clients do business with the government of the United States?
Many members of Congress act as attorneys in local and state courts for labor unions as well as corporations, and receive fees while they are serving in the House of Representatives or the Senate. Is it ethical for this practice to be continued?

United Press Staff Correspondent
WASHINGTON (UP) — A local department store was embarrassed recently about a complaint against the quality of its merchandise.
Seems an old timer about town had bought himself a night cap. He was back the next morning, howling mad.
"Never had that trouble with the old fashioned flannel caps," he said. "Something about this new fangled material."
Seems the cap itched him the night long; and something in the tassel tickled his wife's nose every time the old man turned, and gave her a fit of sneezes.
He got his money back.
No Button Hooks
Belleve it or not, you can still buy nightcaps, among other reliances of the past that the oldsters demand. In fact, according to the old-line "factoring firm" of William Iselin, the demand keeps several factories fairly busy. The firm is a financing specialist in the textile industry and has made a study of out of fashion garments which still are being produced and sold for a small but insistent public.
Take high-buttoned shoes, for example. You can still buy them, if you look real hard, but it's a Dickens of a job finding a button hook.
And take spats, which with a steady hand can be buttoned with the fingers, or if you go modern can be zipped up. "Gaiters" still are made for sale in a lot of department stores. The "sales leader" at the moment is the fourbutton kind in pearl gray, although spats also come in black, pink, brown and pastels, yet. (I once had a friend who used to wear spats the year around so that the only shoe shining he had to do was on the toes. I couldn't decide if he was a dude, or just lazy.)
Drop-Seat Underwear
In small towns, according to the Iselin people, vest-piping remains popular among some old-line pollers.
In rural areas you'll often still have black half sleeves, held up by elastic. A saving on cuffs and elbows.
Drop-seat underwear, for both summer and winter, is making a remarkable comeback. They say that the long underwear with the buttoned tail-gate is selling fairly well in some quarters.
Thousands of men still are devoted to shirts with detachable collars, in a wide variety of colors. The old fashioned paper collars are hard to find, but many a die-hard, anxious to hang on to the tintype era, still insists on celluloid collars that can be washed with a damp rag.
The four-button coat has its customers in considerable numbers, and a lot of men still require their tailors to put buttons on their pants, instead of zippers.
Requests, according to Chicago firm, still come in for coon coats for men. Davy Crockett, if his memory holds for a time longer, likely will fix all of that. Every available coonskin will be used up for Davy Crockett hats.
Farmer McCabe
Shore been warm here lately. Facts is, it's been so warm that somehow my thoughts turn to politics. I remember that a few years ago this country had a Two Party System, but that passed when Harry S. Truman and his Routte-outs pulled their tent down back in Washington, D.C. in late 40's and early 50's. How some ever, the A.D.A. ers are trying to revive a second party and hear they're agonna have a speaker out to Mrs. Brown's Chicken Ranch this coming week. You see, Mrs. Brown is having an egg laying contest out to her place and unless I miss my guess, I'll see Adaill Stevenson out there cause he never misses a chance to lay an egg even if there are only 30 or 40 chicken people there.
