It, H4S Westbrook Pegler Copyright, 194S. by King Features Syndicate New York, Sept. 18 The American Broadcasting Com pany, formerly the Blue Net work, again attracts attention to its interesting editorial policy as expressed by commentators of emphatic left-wing bias, includ ing that spectacular imposter, William Gailmor, whose mental health is subject to a doubt raised by himself as an excuse for his criminal acts. Gailmor may be recalled as an habitual automobile thief who fi nally was run down by the New York police but escaped prison on a charge of grand larceny, first degree, by presenting medi cal testimony that he was suffer ing from a "compulsion neuro sis." Therefore, he was placed under glass, as the saying goes, for about one year and emerged In a new character under a new name, having been William Mar golis, a renegade Rabbi, In his original self. e a e GAILMOR'S PAST, his char acter, the communist background of his radio news have been thor oughly presented hitherto. That he is a liar as well as a thief and a man of questionable mental balance has been revealed by the American Broadcasting Com pany, itself, one of whose officers stated that in his original appli cation for the responsible and po tentially dangerous job of news analyst, he -declared himself to be a man of no religion and con cealed the facts that he had changed his name, that he had a criminal record and that he had been detained as a patient suffer ing from a mental disorder. Later, when officers of the A. B.C., then the Blue Network, were presented with proof of his past, and they, in turn, confront ed Gailmor, he argued that he could not be a communist be cause he was a man of thorough religious training and deep be lief. He had traded his God for thirty pieces of silver, more or less, in applying for the job, not that it was necessary for him to do so, but only because it served some purpose of his own, Then, to decontaminate himself of a strong suspicion of communist Inspiration, he embraced Him. e a ON THE NIGHT of August 9, following President Truman's address to the nation on the Pots dam conference, Gailmor look the air at the A.B.C.'s local New York station to "interpret" the news. He "interpreted' Mr. Tru man's remarks as a rebuke to the American press, or some unde fined portion of the press, who were accused by Gailmor of en couraging Japan to fight on against the American forces and obtain an "easy peace." "Smoke from the atom-bomb obscured the view of target Na HOW THEY? STAND Coast League W. L. Pet.

The Portland Beavers, who have virtually cinched their first pennant in nine years, play third place Sacramento. Seattle, sure of second place, entertains San Diego. l,os Angeles invades San Francisco which stands an out side chance of beating the Solons for the number 3 spot, and Holly-i wood plBys host to Oakland. ! In the only PLC game played j yesterday, the Maimers defeated the Solons 3-2 but lost the series 4-3. Chet Johnson was winning pitcher. All three Seattle rims were made In the third inning. Great Bntnin taxed its bache lors in 1695 to pay for the war with Franre, according to the Encyclopedia Britannica. gasaki," Gailmor said, in an ad dress so incoherent as to support the medical opinion that he was not quite right mentally and to impugn, as well, the later opin- ion that he was cured. "Smoke from the stench-bombs of some of our super-patriots has been getting into the eyes of a good many people over here. The same experts and headline hawk ers that cried out against the no mention of Japan in the Potsdam communique are still shrieking. There is no shame for those who prate and publish on the pre sumption thRt the public Is mor onic and without memory." a a a HE SEEMED TO be arguing that in a few days' skirmishing in Manchuria, Russia's fight against Japan had equalled the American effort and sacrifice since Pearl Harbor. However, as heretofore observed, his "inter pretations," like all communist and nazl declarations, themselves require interpretation, and often defy it. At this point, it served the renegade's purpose to show solicitude for "American lives" whereas, in an earlier dictum he had been less humane. On that occasion, he had said it mattered not to him how long the war should last because Hitler's oblit eration would be cheap at any sacrifice. As to Gailmor, that sacrifice, of course, was to be strictly vi carious. Weighing 200 pounds, according to his police record, and now 34 years old, he was somehow conveniently immune. And yet, as one who had escaped prison on a plea of mental un balance, the American Broad casting Company's distinguished student of affairs, professing nev ertheless to be well again, con trived appointments to lecture hopefully to better young men whose nerves had been jangled in battle. The selection of an unrcgener ate and whining police character for such a mission was an af front to disabled soldiers for which, up to now, it has been dif ficult to place responsibility." a a a MY SUBJECT in this discus sion is the policy of the Ameri can Broadcasting Company in continuing to present Gailmor as an American of sound judgment and passable reputation as to honesty and truthfulness, know ing him to have been a mental case, a thief and, by its own ex perience, a deliberate and griev ous lier. The press could not have chosen a more desirable critic representing the A. B.C. In Its competition with the printed word, for Gailmor's entire char acter not only condemns him but turns the criticism from "the yellow journals" to the radio chain which presents his pro communist propaganda.

William BridT. 215 El Camino. Bavarly Hills. Calif. MANIFESTATIONS OF Simple goitre in school chil dren, myxedema (dryness and firm inelastic swelling of the skin), hypothy roidism and, in some parts of the world, cre tinism are the most outspok en manifesta tions of iodine deficiency, or, as some physi cians prefer to think, func tional inactiv ity of the thy roid gland. I Dr. Brady (Brady) believe Iodine deficiency and thyroid inadequacy are one and the same thing but, remem ber, I'm just a one-horse-and-bug-gy doctor. If you have or Imagine you have any of these conditions it is idle to ask me what to do about it. Only your physician can tell you what to do about It. Nor can I interpret what your symptoms or complaints signify, not with any regard for your own safety and well being. That, too, is strictly your own doctor's province. All I can or shall try to do Is to give my belief or opin ion as to the cause or nature of some mild or even unrecognized manifestations of iodine deficien cy and the way to prevent the deficiency. Typical of Iodine deficiency in children in their early 'teens is, a mother letter about her daughter: "My IS -year -old daughter had been under the doctor's care for more than a year for anemia. That was overcome by the doctor's treatment but she still suffers from a kind of chronic fatigue which seemed impossible to overcome. She had been ready for junior col lege since February but un able to go because of this great lassitude. I gave her the Io din Ration according to your instructions. The result has been simply unbelievable. The doctor told me to keep right on with It. She Is very happy and I am so grateful . . . she was o tired she couldn't enjoy life PLANT RESTORED TO U. S, Shanghai, Sept. 18 U.R The Chinese government restored Shanghai's power plant, supply source for all the city's public utilities, to its American owners today, enforcing Chungking's 1943 treaty agreement to respect foreign-owned property. At the same time, the city's waterworks was ordered return ed to its British owners. Meanwhile American and Chinese authorities forced the Japanese to return thousands of tons of coal to the power plant, which only possessed a six-day supply. The Japanese had been selling the looted coal through out the city. Liberated workers and tech nicians from near-by Internment camps are pouring into the city to take up their old jobs, and American transport planes brought in other technical ex perts from the United States, Great Britain and Cairo. Capt. Robert L. Peaslee, 4435 Second avenue, Los Angeles, rep resenting the army's economic administration, reported that stories of threatened starvation in Shanghai were greatly exag gerated. He said that most of the food shortages had been created artificially by the Japa nese who erected road blocks outside the town and refused to allow Chinese farmers to enter with supplies until they had paid "squeeze" money. 18-Pound Baby Is Believed Largest Known to Doctors Montrose.

Now. parents, don t draw a wrong inference from this no tice particularly that this mother gave her daughter the benefit of medical care she says the doc tor approved of givingtthe girl Iodin Ration. I certainly do not mean to suggest that "chronic fatigue" or even moping and dis inclination to join in the doings of normal youngsters necessarily signifies iodine deficiency. In any such case it is only fair that the child or adolescent be care fully and pcrhap3 repeatedly ex amined and observed by the fam ily physician to rule out incipi ent pulmonary tuberculosis, whether the youngster gets the Iodin Ration or not. Just as a good many young sters (though perhaps more girls than boys) begin to mope in their 'teens for want of this food ele ment, so do, mature adults have a chronic tired feeling, lack of former "pep" or ambition, ten dency to drop off in a doze at any time although they sleep long hours every night, and to acquire flabby slacker flesh, dryness and sallowncss of the skin, lusterlcss, dry, falling, prematurely gray ing hair, and in many Instances a. melancholic or pensive mood which, to their friends, is so dif ferent from their former cheer ful disposition.

Dllle Co l The multiplication tables and the itch are in my mind, irre vocably united. I have never been able to think of one with out recalling the other ever since my first year of teaching, for that year the children and I scratched it out together. It fascinated me the ability of a smali boy to scratch with such concentrated energy and at the same time drone through the tables as though completely ex hausted. And if he had difficul ty in placing a mental finger on the right times table combina tion, he had none in locating an itch. If those children had dug at their arithmetic with half the leal they applied to their itch ing anatomy even the second graders would have been ready for differential calculus by sprii.g. And all the tirne, tha young school teacher in the long voile skirt and peek-a-boo blouse scratched right along with them.

SAYS Pasadena, Calif., Sept. 18 (U.R) Thirty devout Rasadena residents, their faces radiant, prayed and fasted today in pre paration for the end of the world come next Friday. "Laugh and scoff, if you wish," the Rev. Charles G. Long, retired missionary turned pro phet said, "But the end will be on Friday and in a manner similar to the explosion of an atomic bomb." The minister had interrupted his sermon to the group, mostly elderly women with scarfs around their heads but includ ing a few middle-aged men, xa boy about 15 and a few children who played in the middle of the floor of his living room. It was their second day of prayerful fasting. Rev. Long opened his Bible to chapter 3, paragraph 10 of the second epistle of Peter and read: "But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night. In which the heavens shall dhss away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also, and Ihe works that are therein shall be burnt up." His followers raised their eyes from their Bibles and chanted, "Praise the Lord!" Alcoa Split up Is Attorney's Advice Washington, Sept. 18 (U.R) Attorney General Tom C.
