Telephone TheTMan on the White Horse ; The spadework for the Export-Import bank's $20,000,000 loan to Yugoslavia started a long time ago. Then, since until this page comment ed Saturday that just a few years ago Tito's anti aircraft truculently shot down American planes, there has been little mention in the press of one time Yugoslav animosity toward 4he U. S. In stead, people were asked to remember Tito in the days before he came under Moscow's thumt TFto as the partisan fighter against the Nazis. Once Tito ws a man of mystery. Reporters who were with the partisans told how he lived in a cave with rough furniture1 and a field tele phone to direct the guerrillas. Americans who had read "For Whom the Bell Tolls" thought they recognized the situation and it was all very brave and romantic. But not nearly so brave and romantic as row. For now Tito is no longer supposedjo be a mystery-man. The papers and Life and Time are flooded with AP releases showing how un eniematic, how familiar Tito really There are pictures of Tito with caught, of Tito driving his speedboat, of Tito and his admiring small son, of Tito's soldiers sinping praises to Tito. Next, undoubtedly, we shall see pictures of Tito accepting a tribute of flowers from a pretty young peasant girl and Tito leaning on a pitchfork and Tito shaking hands with the local Rotarians, or reasonable facsimile thereof. These photographs by Life's John Phillips almost make Tito look like a U.' S. presidential candidate ... 7 In fact, they make him look like even more tjhan a U. S. presidential candidate. They por tpay h;m as a knight in shining armor on a white charger off to rescue the Grail and save tjie Balkans from that modern dragon, Russian dom ination. That picture of Tito on his pale horse, Mit7i (a poor name for such a valiant steed), proves it. Tito, we see, doesn't look like, a communist, lie is playing his cards with all the skill and a plomh of a very talented politician and the pictures he lays on the table are designed to take the pot. He has taken the pot. all $20. 000.0M of it. And the possibility that the cards were slacked seems to worry the U. S.. out to win friends and influence people, hardly at all. Bfh.jes on Credit You might think things were bad enough m'hen an unemployed tool and die maker has six children at home andhis wife in the hospi tal with Number Seven. But in Detroit, they pile insult on injured bankrolls. A youn Michigan father had to go to court for a writ of habeas corpus to get his wife and the babv out of a hospital where she was held against her will untilthe father could scrape "Vri ccg T i ,k- .o.c ti9 it-. M,An- f Too Much "Coney Island" money hut he wanted his family so the" court atenned in.' released the mother and child and aaid the pater familas would have to pay the hosoitil when he could. Such a ridiculous situation would hardly oc cur in Salem. Here both hospitals, although thev much prefer the cash-and-carry system, will arrange babies on credit. Families who cannot afford to buy cars, re frigrators and children for cash, here can get any of all of said luxuries for a small down pay ment with the balance in monthly installments. European Economic Union Speeded Rr Joseph and Stewart AUop WASHINGTON. Sept. 12 An American policy decision of in calculable importance is now In the making. It is being seriously proposed that the whole weight of American in f 1 u e n c e be brought to bear to promote what has al ways seemed a distant dream - a real eco nomic union of the continental nations of Europe. More- - .1 u. , over, uie wir , . , - 4 ; Jective would vJoaffb AP he to bring this union into existence, not In 70 years or seven, but In seven months by April of next year. The drive behind this proposal comes largely from Paul Hoff Mnan and his E.C-A. Hoffman came back from his recent trip to Europe with two convict ions. The first was that only the most dras 1 1 e measures could prevent European trade .from freezing up, and the European econ omtci from foundering. His second convict ion was that the impu.se toward union on the continent was genuine and deep, and required only some eatalyst to transform it into reality. Hoff man concluded that some form of economic union was not only urgently necessary, but practi cable. Oi his return, he discus sed this cohclusio at length with President Truman, and Truman enthusiastically agreed. At the same time, the E.C.A. officials who hae had the pain ful experience of dealing with congress all summer deputy administrators like William Fos ter and Tyler Wood, as well aa Hoffman himself have reach ed a further conclusion. ' This Is ' ' V m Pi .Stewart Alapp Tuetday, Stptemb 13, 19i9 mmm MM, -No Favor Sways Us, No Fear Shall A tee" mm First SUicoMi, March t. U51 That may sound like carrying the installment plan; to extremes, but the economy runs on credit and hospitals, like any other business, can't afford to be the exceptional monkey wrench? in the smoothly-oiled wheel of com-,' merce. Otherwise, women would just go back to hiving their babies at home and the doctors, like doctors from time immemorial, would have to wait for their consideration, be it a bushel of corn, a fatted calf or a .check- for $100 in dtiblets of $10 a month. ' Court Balance May Shift Justice Wiley B. Rutledge of the U. S. sup reme court was claimed by death at the age of 55. sA colleague on the bench, Justice Jackson, attributed it to overwork; but others carry the same load to a much greaterage. Heart trouble, which caused his death, is careless in picking its victims: age is not always the determining fac tor, j Formerly dean of the law school at the University of Iowa, Mr. Rutledge served on is -4he U. S. court a fish he Columbia before he was named to the supreme court in 1943. His selection definitely was notinade as a political reward; instead he pos sessed qualifications which came from judicial experience and from study and instruction in the law. While he aligned himself with the "new deal" wing of the court he was not just a follower: on occasion he could disagree with Black and Douglas and Murphy who formed the core of that group. With the deaths of Murphy and of Rutledge the bid five-to-four division may be wrecked. Torn Clark Is apt to go along with Chief Justice Vinson. If the successor to Rutledge is of Clark's type it is quite probable that the ma jority will swing to the more conservative side in interpreting the constitution. It will be in teresting indeed to see how the new court will function after it assembles next month. Justice Rutledge won the respect at bench and' bar and of the public for his legal know ledge, his zeal for justice and for his own high character. 1 f "Chrpus Delicti" The declaration of William P. Benson, con vict recaptured at Columbus, , that his fellow-, escape John O. Pinson is dead will certainljr Call for .the "corpus delicti". It's a tall story that. Pinson was shot twice, made his way out of the state, died and was buried "near Salem without apprehension. Loyalty'rarely extends that far among cons. The tale may be merely a stall. Until positive evidence is furnished tha Pinson Is dead the forces of the law will keep up their search for him. Our impressions of the state fair is that it has too much of "Coney Island" atmosphere. To get anywhere one must march past a horde of carnival concessions, hot dog stands, popcorn booths, restaurants, gimcrack vendors and for tunes tellers. Concessions are "part of the fair", but this time they seemed to be a disproportionate part of it. Even the exhibit pavilion seemed pretty well cluttered up with gadget booths. We'd like the fair better if it were more of a fair and less of a carnival. that some dramatic and visible results of the EC.A. operations are essential. Otherwise, they believe, the mounting congres sional resistance to E.C.A. will certainly transform the third year's program into a marginal surplus-dumping operation at best. And EC.A. must go back to congress for third year ap propriations by next April. i . Meanwhile, the state depart ment planners have also decided that political as welt as economic considerations demand some form of real continental union. But they have concluded and Hoffman and the E.CA: men agree that inclusion of Brit ain in such a project is for all sorts of reasons Impractical- All of these ' conclusions dovetail, pointing in the same direction a determined, all-out American drive ior continental union. No final, formal policy decis ions have been taken. Averell Harriman, European E.C A. chief, is Worried about the re action in Europe to what might seem overt American interfer ence in European affairs. Some of the free-trade advocates in the state department's economic division are also doubtful, on the grounds that such a union would work against free multilateral trade. Bat despite these hesita tions, 4 great deal of serious thought is already being given to what form such a union might take. I The sort of thing now being discussed; is a limited Initial union of Italy, France, Belgium. Holland and Luxembourg, with Western Germany and possibly the Scandinavian countries brought in later. It Is not pro posed that any attempt be made to level tariff barriers or allow the free exchange of populations, at least at first. Anything so ambitious would probably lead to the failure of the whole pro ject. : f, Instead what is proposed is the establishment ; a single currency at an agreed exenange rate with all th participating of appeals for the District of national curriencies, and the creation of a central bank. 'The bank would be capitalized, of course , in : the new European currency, but it would also dis pose of an initial revolving fund of $150,00u,000 which E.C-A. would make available. '' Even this is far from unambit ious. A common currency and a central banking system involve a transfer: of sovereignty such as no nation in modern history has voluntarily made, since these measures sharply limit the con trol of national credit. It Is hard to believe that anything so fun damental and far-reaching can really be undertaken in a few short months. Yet the experts who favor this plan point to certain facts. In the first place, the Strasbourg talks have shown that there are already powerful forces working toward union on the continent, though not in Britain. In the second place, there is the whip lash of economic necessity- The British crisis is only a more vis ible symptom of a general Euro-4 pean crisis continental dollar deficits, are running at two and a half times British deficits. So far this combination of cir cumstances has led to little but talk. But the stick of American pressure, astutely applied to gether with the carrot of an E-C-A. offer of a $150,000,000 revolving : fund, might well transform the' talk into action. No one argues that continental economic union would solve the continent's economic problems overnight. Yet it would be an enormous stride in the right di rection. And It Is at least en couraging that the American policy-makers are beginning to think in big, bold terms. It re 1 mains to formulate an equally if bold and far-reaching I policy to deal with the economic crisis of Britain and the sterling area.' For if Britain founders, the contin ent, whether united or divided, will founder too. Copyright. 1949, New York Herald Tribune, Inc. i I lH i . ( you moy do amp I m JI mm sought mtJi Push-Button Hotel Service Awes Henry By Henry McLemora MADRID, Sept. 12 We hava a hotel room here which neither one of us has yet learned to fly. Yes, I said "fly." Walking into our room is much like walking into the pilot's com partment of a Constellation or a DC-6. Indeed, I believe our room is a trifle more complicated than the control plant of either one of these big airliners. To begin with, there are four telephones. There is a phone by each 01 tne Deas, one in a corner of the room, and another over the bathtub, the Hrary ueLemera xauer oemg ior 4 emergency use in case we'; have to "ditch" our room, I suppose. Each of the phones Is equip ped with five buttons red, yel low, green, purple, and white. Each color summons a different member of the staff of the hotel and I am just itching to get a big enough snootful of sherry to have the courage to push them all at once, and see what kind of stampede 1 get By each of the buttons, as is common in European hotels, is a small drawing of the person you are going to get-when that but ton is pushed. As long as they have gone this far I don't see why they don't go a little fur ther with their buttons and pic tures and have illustrations and buttons for pork and beans, eggs 'sunny side up, pie a la mode, and a shave and a haircut. The button on the phones aren't the only ones in the room. Just inside the door is a panel of 12 buttons which control a series of lights Just outside the door.

I am convinced that proper wiring of electricity Is still some-: what of a mystery to Europeans. Half the time we get the maid when we want the valet, and the other half the time we get the waiter with the water when we want the housekeeper. Either the wires are badly crossed, or the domestic staff simply flips a coin to see which one answers. We are convinced that some where in our room , is" a button that will start a propeller twirl ing, and another button that will lower flaps for a take-off.

Pain of this type is a warning which may signalize any one of a number of disorders. Some are of so grave a nature as to demand emergency treatment. Hence, in each case there is need of an immediate study br a phy sician so that, .1 necessary, treat ment ma; be begun at once. One of the most common caus es of severe pain in the abdomen is acute inflammation of the gall bladder. This disturbance occurm more often in women arcfid the age of forty who are somewhat overweight. t The pain of gallbladder dis ease is usually located an the right side under the edge of the ribs. The pain often parses inot the back and up into the right shoulder. There is often fever and an increase in the pulse rate. Of course, there, is tenderness over the gallbladder region. The type of pain gives some in dication of the underlying dis turbance. If the pain is constant, it may mean that there is some swelling of the lining membrane DTP 30000 fmDCEDDI (Continued from page one) Britain can really hang a pound on unless it is implemented by action. Perhaps the secret is that the solution to Britain's troubles lies in Britain itself, that the best that friendly neighbors 'can do is to give limited assistance. Cripps and Bevin made no request for another loan; and they knew that getting an increase in Marshall plan aid would require approval of other Marshall plan countries. Our representatives had been coached not to urge the devalua tion of the pound or a tempering of socialistic zeal in Britain. With the area of discussion thus nar rowed there really wasn't much left to talk about but stockpiling, a simplifying customs procedure and modifying tariffs to permit more British imports to come to dollar countries. Conceivably the "reviews" and the "studies" will yield some fruit in the way of easing Britain's dollar deficiency. But the Wash ington conference struck no rock from which dollar credit would pour forth in generous quantities, adopted no positive cure either for short or long range for Brit ain's financial troubles. The doc tors have consulted, have agreed to certain medicines; but they carefully avoided any mention of surgery. I doubt if the green pills prescribed will be sufficient to restore the patient's health. VMM! NEXT LOOK" EXT E3 - nil Tmr A .

If the pain is severe and comes in attacks. It often means that there is a block ing of the duct, usually by a gall stone. The duct leads from the gallbladder to the intestine. An X-ray examination may be help ful in making a diagnosis, partic ularly if there are stones in the gallbladder. In treating an acute attack of gallbladder pain, the doctor as a rule' gives the patient drugs known as nitrites. These tend to relax the spasm and reduce the pain. The patient may also be given a sedative or quieting drug, though morphine is used only after all other measures hav failed to give relief. In many cases of acute gall bladder disease, it is necessarv to operate to remove the gallblad der However, if it can be avoid ed, the operation is not done dur ing an acute attack. On the other hand, if there is danger that the gallbladder may rupture or break open, the operation must be done immediately. A ruptured ulcer of the upper part of the small intestine, acute appendicitis, kidney disturbance, on the right side particularly and often, coronary thrombosis, a condition of the heart, may all be mistaken for acute gallbladder disease. Hence, when symptoms occur which are like those of acute gallbladder infection, it is necessary for the patient to be' thoroughly studied before a def-iiHt-ediagnosis can be made and treatment started, and this study should be made without delav.
