John Rankin's In House Ends By JAMEfe MARLOW WASHINGTON John Rankin will have time to cool off now. For most of his life he's been an active and blazing as a man with a box of matches on fire in his hip pocket . Rankin, the tireless champion of white supremacy who had his hand called on the floor of the House o( Representatives for throwing around words like "Kike" and "Negro" won't be back next year. (Rankin says he always used the word "Negro," but his pronounci ation sometimes .makes it sound more like "Niggra," a circum stance which once led former Rep. Vito Marcantonio (ALP-NY) o raise a point of order that Rankin had called Singer Paul Robeson a "N i g g a r Communist." Speaker ' Rayburn ruled that Rankin said "Negro Communist"). Rankin has been a member of the House from Mississippi for 32 years. This week the voters of his state turned him down for re-nomination in favor of a fellow-con- ' gressman, Thomas Abernethy, who is 49. Lively As A Boy Rankin, still as lively as a boy at 70, is one of those old men who . never seem bruised by the shoving around time gives them. Even his white hair seems to stand up in - constant indignation. There was almost a birdlike quality, an angry bird, in the wav he cocked his head as he sat in the House, listening and watching, never wanting to miss anything. He may have set a record for at- ' tendance. He seemed forever there. Unlike some his ponderous fellow-members, far younger, Rankin could be on his feet in an eye blink for a fight with his mouth or his fists. Size didn't faze him. . His fellow-members, presidents or even the Supreme court were all ' targets for his tongue and his temper. Swings On Big Man . In 1945 he swung on Frank Hook, a fellow Democrat from Michigan Hook, one-time Iron ore miner, was a lot bigger man. Rankin had accused Hook of consorting with Communists. When Hook called him a liar. Rankin swung. ' Communism was on his mind. He was one the most active Commu nist-hunters of his time, a pursuit .he developed as a leaning mem ber of the House l)n American Activities Committee. He was equally attentive to, and equally against, any anti racial discrimination moves by the Dem orratic administration. He was strictly for segregation of Ne groes. At the same time he championed ' the Tennessee Valley Authority, rural e ectnfication. and war vet erans. Veterans were his special province. He was chairman of the oil poultry of all ages Tike the labor out of poultry feed, ing with TRIP-L-DUTY, Alben famous lo-coit ration that pro. motes growth, health and egg pro duction.

But for attentiveness to his lob, he set an example. Up t 6 in the morning, he got down to his of fice before any of his staff. And he knew his way around Congress few men did. Knew Rules Well All the business of the House, on the floor, is done according to par liamentary rules. Rankin took the trouble to learn them by heart. With this knowledge he was hard to fool and he could tie the place in knots. This knowledge of the rules was distinction he had to share with Vito Marcantonio, the former American Labor Party representa tive from New York. They were two of the shrewdest parliamentarians in the House in recent years. And no two mem bers' views seemed further apart. Marcantonio's most recent job was defending the Communist Party before the government's Subver sive Activities Control Board. Thev fancied fiercely on the floor but seemed pleasant enough off it, teat not unusual wiltt congress men. shrewdness, In suite of his events he couldn t control were Rankin's undoing. He lost his joo on the un-American acuyiii Committee through a reorganiza tion of Congress. In 16 previous elections KanKin had squeaked through, or breezed through, depending on wno ms up ponent was. He might have kept doing that inaeiiniiciy. But this year the Mississippi State Legislature, over his pro tests, combined his congressional district with that of Abernethy who has been a House member 10 years, and the two men had to fight each other for the one seat. Selenium May Make Teeth Poor OREGON' STATE COLLEGE Just as flourine has been found to protect teeth against decay, so may anotfler trace element, seleni um, contribute to poor'teelh, Ore gon State College research scien tists have discovered. The entry of selenium into the denial health picture is another of the highly significant leads un covered in the past five years by the OSC dental health researcn team. Latest findings are reportea in the Journal of j-eoiaincs uy Dr. Demctrios M. Hadjimarkos, associate professor pf dental re search; Dr. Clara A. Slorvick, home economics nutritionist, and Dr. LeMar F. Remmert, associate chemist, for the experiment sta tion. Thought to be a normal part of certain soils from which it is ab sorbed by growing plants, selen ium is known to be the cause of the serious and often times fatal animal disease, selenium poison ing. Its effects on humans are largely unknown, however. Dr. Hadjimarkos reports, and the OSC efforts represent a pioneer venture in the field. The recently-completed study of Selenium effects was conducted in Clatso county where teeth have been found to be the worst in Ore gonand Klamath county where teeth are best. Twenty-four na tive born and reared high school boys from Clatso and nine from Klamath cooperated by supplying 24-hour urine samples, which when chemically analyzed provide a re liable guide to the amount of the element taken in the diet. All of the urine specimens were found to contain some selenium concentrations but the samples from boys in Clatso county had significantly more than those from Klamath county youths. "Further studies are necessary, o! course, for a better understand ing of the selenium-dental health relationship, but our investigations strongly suggest that selenium may in some unknown manner render the teeth more susceptible to de cay," Dr. Hadjimarkos points out. Public To Be Queried By Price Control Boss WASHINGTON Wl Tighe E. Woods, the nation's new price boss, said Thursday he will ask the President to lift price controls if he finds the public does not want them. He told reporters he will make his determination of the public at titude by touring the country next month. He said he'll ask house wives and others what they think about controls. But Woods emphasized that he, personally, believes the price curbs should stay in effect.
