TJie Mall Tribune Wast Ads. We don't care whether it is a labor organization or a capital organization, no organization m the United States should have the power to paralyze a basic industry over a differential of 6y2 cents an hour. It is ridiculous ! Three-and-one-half cents an hour means only 28 cents per day the idea that such an infinitesimal change in the prevailing wage scale could either ser iously injure the business, or effect the morale of labor, is just too silly for words. And that is the only difference between manage ment and labor in this United States Steel contro versy. Nothing else was involved no fact-finding, no inspection of books or records, no closed or open shop; nothing but a paltry two bits and three cents a day! IN this particular instance U. S. Steel is unquestion aM trie millttr nov-ttr rWta nrrtvbnvtt nr-inrmnllir anlrprl 25 cents per hour increase. The company offered 15. The' workers reduced their request to Vdyz cents; The company refused. Then President Truman stepped in and offered 18 cents; the company con tinued to refuse. So now this huge, basic industry, the bell-wether of all others in wacres.and the comer-stone or Amen- can post-war reconstruction, will close down tomor row, disrupting the entire national economy wnyf because a billion dollar corporation refuses to in crease its wage scale by less than 30 cents per clay. a a a WE repeat, no organization, capital OR labor aVmtiM Via allrmmrl fn An trial Where lartre and important issues are involved, strikes and lock-outs probably can't be prevented. But where no issue but wages is in dispute, and then where the difference is microscopic, the parties con cerned should in some way be COMPELLED to reach SOME settlement that would allow the essential in dustry to continue in operation without interruption, until some more serious difference should arise R.W.R. The March of Dimes A MERICANS who have seen the terrible conse " quences of infantile paralysis among the chil dren of this nation are conscious of the need for con tributing to the "March of Dimes" now underway. Here is, indeed, a "Good Neighbor" program. It was launched 13 years ago by the late President Roose velt, has the hearty support of republicans and dem ocrats alike, for crippling polio is a common foe that is no respector of persons. It strikes rich and poor alike, white and black, without consideration to race, color, and political or religious creed.' It is clearly a duty of all good neighbors to enlist their dimes and dollars in a fight to the finish. The familiar and distressing sights the shrunken limbs, warped and twisted bodies, crutches and wheel chairs and all other grim reminders of this terrible scourge are themselves the strongest argument for supporting the work of the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis. a a b a RIPPLING POLIO claimed 13,000 victims last , year, and more than half of them were under 20 years of age. That shows the enemy to be strong, so the battle must go unrelentingly on in the laboratory, in the hospital, in the classroom, and in the commun ity and home. Increasing light is being thrown through laboratory research, upon the shadowy and nebulous virus. It has not yet been isolated but we know how it is transmitted. Physical therapeutists and physicians have learned that, by quick and ac curate diagnosis and by proper treatment in its acute stage, astonishing results in preventing deformities are now possible. Half of the poliomyelitis victims now recover completely. IT WAS Sister Elizabeth Kenny who first demon - strated how the agony in the initial onset of the virus can be eased how muscle contracture and crip pling, too, could be greatly lessened. The dimes con tributed in the campaign will train more physical therapists so urgently needed through scholarships at approved schools and universities. While the quest goes on for scientific knowledge which some day will surely find a cure for polio, every effort must be made to ease the suffering of little victims of infantile par alysis and return to them the opportunity for normal life, happiness and social usefulness. Dime by dime we must wage the fight. Of course, Jackson County will answer the appeal of this inspired crusade cheerfully and generously ! H.G. altitudinous one that the poor retailers of Buenos Aires had to declare a lock-out ! e a a IN other words, here is the case of a rabid Fascist go ing Communist for political purposes. Not to be outdone in this country the Republican minority in the House Thursday tried to push through n-esicient iruman s "labor bill" without further hear ings. 1 he Democrats were strenuously opposed to it The result was a tie. IN other words, here is a Republican group, trying to put over the pet measure of a Democratic Pres ident, while the Democrats fight to prevent it; and if Air. Mallon can be believed here is CIO favoring the GOP action and opposing the attitude of their favor ites, the Democrats! Politics is, undoubtedly, the motive-force in both actions; but far easier to figure out in Buenos Aires than in Washington, D. C.! K.W.K. .

Your H salth and It's Care By DR- WILLIAM BRADY M.D. Readers should address Inquiries toi Or William Brady. 265 F.I Camino Beverly Hills Calii. CALCIUM AND VITAMIN D ( Politics! Politics not only makes strange bedfellows, but strange statesmen. Observe General Peron of Argentine, for ex ample. The General's record as a Fascist has been so notorious and unsavory, that this country has been on the point of breaking off diplomatic relations a number of times. Fascists are supposed to be anti-labor, pro-big busi ness and totalitarian, no one has doubted Senor Peron's proclivities in these several directions. a a a e e DUT the General wishes to win the forthcoming presidential election, so taking a page from the political note-book of the late President Roosevelt, he proceeds to not only turn sharply to the left in his speeches, but pours cash-money into the pockets of labor, by decreeing a wholesale wage-boost, such an An optimal daily ration of calcium, phosphorus and vita min D may consist of 54 grains o f decalcium phosphate, 38 grains of cal c 1 u m glucon ate and 4,500 units of vita min D, all of which may be eaten with any meal once daily, or the dally ration 'fJimtm may be divid- . eQ ,mo lwQ ur Dr. Brady three equal amounts. This optimal dally ration con tains approximately twice the amount of the elements calcium and phosphorus which nutrition authorities estimate the healthy body requires for maintenance of normal functional efficiency, and two or three times the amount of vitamin D required for the metabolism of the cal cium and phosphorus. In any case, in man. woman or child. supplementing the ordinary diet with this optimal daily ration of calcium, phosphorus and vitamin D food, not medi cine for ten weeks or more, con do no harm. In my opinion. else I would not recommend It. It would require more space than we have here to exolaln why so manv of us have these sDeclfic nutritional deficiencies. Briefly, most of us do not use as much of the calcium and phos nhorus rich foods in the ddily dietary as we should, particu larly milk and milk products. cheese, greens, nuts (including pennutsi and the unrefined cer eal grains, such as plain wheat and oatmeal. Then it hannens that few foods which are avail able and suitable for our every '.tv use contain vitamin D In significant amounts (milk, cream, butter, egg yolk, oysters, canned or fresh salmon and some other sea flshesl. Flnallv few of us enn or will take ad vantage of the only alternative source of vitamin D exposure of the body to sunshine or sky shine (daylight In shaded or cloudy places Indeed, a good many of us scarcely understand that the cold, colorless. Invisible ultraviolet rays of direct or In direct sunlight activate a sub stance called ergostcrol which Is naturally present in the skin converting it into viostcrol, which is vltomln D. This manufacture of vitamin D by the ultraviolet of sunlight or un-screened daylight ac counts for most of the Improve mcnt which some arthritis suf ferers enjoy after a sojourn In a milder, warmer, drier climate. At least this Is my opinion. I think this applies likewise to mony sufferers with chronic bronchiectasis, sinusitis, asthma and even pulmonary tuberculo sis. Moreover I suspect this Is merely speculation I suspect this the reason why a good many of these Invalids who change climate foil to obtain the anticipated benefit Is that they remain far too antiquated to realize they got that way from a lifetime of avoiding ex' posure and it is perhaps not yet too late to avoid avoiding ex posure.
