LETTERS, WIRES AS INDEX TO SENTIMENT
- In theory it is fine to "write a letter to your congress
man" or "wire the president," but the recent McCarthy
episode has shown the inherent fallacy of this as a guide
on public opinion.
' McCarthy urged his listeners to wire their sentiments
to the White House. We assume he was not in collusion
with the telegraph company, but it reaped quite a har
vest, though not what one might have expected.
As anyone would assume, most of these wires backed
McCarthy. Since McCarthy's admirers would be much
more likely to accept his advice than would others, it is
surprising that so many of the telegrams supported the
president Up to 11 a.m. Saturday the count was 2992
to 1354 for McCarthy.
Then a Toledo paper promised cooperation to those of
Its readers as wished to support the president, but agreed
also to transmit views favorable to McCarthy. This re
sponse, amounting to more than 10,000, was about 30 to
1 for Eisenhower. McCarthy termed the paper's project
dishonest, although it is hard to see how it was more so
than McCarthy's original attempt to pack the telegraph
wires with messages favorable to his side in the contro
versy. The weakness of the letter or telegram to congress
man, senator or president is that normally it comes only
from those with extremely strong views on a given sub
ject. Let 10 per cent support one side of a proposition
wun great zeal and their use of the mails and wires will
far exceed that of tha other 90 per cent who may dis
agree wun inem, out not violently.
Further, people may be stirred to action by a dramatic
piea which gives only one side, and may even misrepre
sent the facts. McCarthy's plea is c case in point, and
it happens repeatedly. The purpose is to give the public
servant at the receiving end a distorted idea of what
the public thinks.
Unfortunately this frequently succeeds, but not as
often as it used to. For officials are learning how to
discount their incoming mail when it has been given an
artificial stimulus.

PEARL HARBOR MEMORIAL
It was just 12 years ago, December 7, 1941, that the
Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor and plunged the United
States into World War II.
The only organization to observe the anniversary at
Pearl Harbor is the navy which staged brief, solemn
memorial services on the superstructure of the battleship
Arizona, which the Japanese bombers destroyed.
The Arizona is still at the bottom of the harbor and
the tomb of some 1100 sailors who went with her in the
Xirst battle of the Pacific war.
The superstructure of the old battleship still rises in
oenance or destruction and has been made a monument
to the men who died in the infamous sneak attack on a
inendiy nation. .
Memorial services atarted at 7:65 a.m, Honolulu time,
4:65 p.in., PST, the exact moment Japanese bombers
began wreaking havoc on the alumbering U.S. Pacific
fleet.
A bugle call opened the memorial program, the Amer
ican flag was raised on the remains of the sunken war
ship, prayers were offered for those who perished by
Captain P. G. Linaweaver, chaplain of the 14th Naval
district, followed by taps and a three-volley rifle salute
fired by eight aailors.
Services were attended by representatives of veterans
and civic organizations and the nine survivors of the at
tack now stationed at Pearl Harbor who were placed

To the Editor:
It was my privilege last Sat

to visit your YMCA building.
1 wonder if the citizens of Sa

ciate this fine organization and.
the work that is being done for
the boys of your community
who are members. I understand
that any boy can enjoy the fa
cilities of the YMCA by paying

labors to bring forth a new
miracle drug every day, but
my aims are more modest.
All I want to do Is give
mankind a new miracle dis
ease every few years, a dis
esse everybody 'can enjoy.
The trouble with a miracle
drug seems to be thst as soon
as it whips one disease it
sometimes give you two other
diseases that require' the dis
covery of two more new mira
cle drugs to cure. How long
can this go on?
That's the nice thing about
my" new miracle disease for
the current season. No modern
miracle drug has any effect on
It, but the disease Itself, if
treated properly, will prevent
you from catching more ser
ious, disabillng ailments.
In this respect It is like the
common cold or virus A .
two fine old miracle diseases
that have lost their social use
fulness because people now
suspect you are lying If you
claim you have them and stay
home from work. Nothing
wears out a miracle disease
like suspicion.
That Is why I suggest you

To give credit where credit
Is due, I got the Idea for
Boyle's Epidemic Spasmodic
Seizure from Dr. Walter C.
Alvarez, the Internationally
known physician.
Dr. Alvarez In a recent art
icle described a new ailment
which he himself has suffered
dues of S10 a year. Where
could ten dollars be spent for a
better purpose?
I attended the swimming
classes Saturday morn'ng with
my grandson and watched him
with probably 23 other boys of
his age as they took their swim

met the Instructors of the

and can surely say that they
are capable and interested in
the welfare of the boys. When

from called The Devil's
Grip." It is characterized by
a terrible back pain, beadsche,
chill, shivering, nausea and
dizziness.
The title. "The Devil's
Grip." drew me st once. It
was just the kind of attention
attracting name I needed for
my new miracle disesse ot
183-34. But after all. It Is a
real disease, and who wants
one of those?
Life today periodically gives
everyone a terrific pain In the
neck, however, and who doesn't
also shiver, feel dizzy and nau
sested in these times? This re
sults in boredom, and causes a
tired, rundown feeling thst csn
best be cured by a comfortable
siege of brooding In bed.
So I thought of naming my
new successor to Virus "X" and
the common cold "False Devil's
Grip." But I decided that word
false would keep it from
widespread popularity.
Then I sounded out such
names ss "Ilellburn Warp,"
"Angel Fever," "Purgatory
Flutters," and "Wishbone
Cramp." Somehow they didn't
ring true. Throwing modesty
aside, I decided to name my
new miracle disease after it.

a ring of authenticity.
How can you tell when you
have Boyle's Epidemic Spas

Bess has exactly the ssme
symptoms a the common cold
or Virus "X" except for two
things. Your nose doesn't run,
and you yawn oftener from an

Bess is a protective disease.
It will protect you from pneu
monia, overwork, or boring
cocktail parties. It will protect
you from being hit by a taxi-
cab or struck by lightning.
What other miracle disease can
make these claims?
Be the first in your crowd to
catch Bess. Win the social ac
claim and respect that reward
anyone who is the first to fall
victim of a strange, fascinating,
mysterious and comfortable
ailment. It won't be long until
some jealous termite in our so
ciety passes the word around:
"Have you noticed how
much Boyle's Epidemic Spas

we used to call laziness?"
Then we'll have to discover
