FOTTH MEDTOBD (OREGON) Continuous Use of Bromides May Lead To Mental Disease San Francisco, July 1. U.P.) A Chicago phyiieian warned to day that continuoui and indis criminate uje of bromides may lead to mental disease so severe that the user may have to go to a mental hospital. Dr. Theodore Cornbleet told the American Medical assoclav tlon that bromides taken contin. uouslv remain In the body, ac cumulating to "dangerous lev els." Contain Bromine Bromides are compounds con taining bromine. They are taken principally as sedatives. "The reason Is two-fold," he said. "People keep taking them without a let-up and they are excreted slowly. Large accumu lations will make anyone sick. "It is surprising what a large number of people develop ment al symptoms from bromides, with the cause going unsuspect ed, often badly enough to be sent to asylums." Causes Skin Rashes Cornbleet added that brom ides can cause skin rashes which take on many forms. Also, brom ide Intoxication can last longer than effects from many other drugs, he said. Cornbleet urged that bromides be treated like barbiturates and sold only by prescription.

The director of the American Institute of Family Relations, Los Angeles, said arguments over money ranked among the top causes for unsuccessful mar riages. Such quarrels, he added, may be largely obviated by adoption of a reasonable budget with an individual allowance for each partner. Nagging Wife Contributor Popenoe told the University of Cincinnati Institute on Educa tion for Family Life that the nagging wife, too, is a great con tributor to the divorce race. "Much of the occasion for nagging can be avoided if there Is a division of labor In the family with agreement on re sponsibility." he said. Failure to show affection also Is a common cause for marriage failures, "and it is the most easily remedied," Popenoe add ed. He told last night's session that "the most successful hus bands and wives show a rela tively high degree of cordiality, activity, and sympathy, together with a good degree of self-control."

Open ing of the annex is planned be tween Jul' 20 and August 1. Was Political Advisor Stationed in Seoul (which he says should be pronounced Sole), Tobin was a political advisor as well as intelligence officer, and had an opportunity to become one of the few Americans on the spot at that time to become ac quainted with the many Korean political parties. His weekly summaries were descriptions of current economic conditions, of people and their living conditions and reactions, as well as strictly secret infor mation gleaned from a variety of sources. "Master Pln" told In December, 1943. Tobin said, the communist command in the north part of the country laid down a "master plan" for the eventual domination of the southern portion. This plan, which has been published in this country in at least one news paper previous to this time, in cluded several points. One which was conspicuous ly successful, Tobin said, was to create embarrassment for United States occupation forces. In one Instance the communists distrib uted posters saying that free rice would be distributed at Ameri can headquarters at a certain time. A big crowd showed up, and a considerable disturbance resulted when no rice was forth coming. . Try Ric. Trick Another instance described by Tobin also involving rice oc curred at a time when supplies of the food which is a staple there were In short supply. The communists attempted to lead Koreans to believe the Ameri cans were shipping rice out of the country to Japan. In line with this attempt, they drove a truck through a seaport village, carefully dumping off an oil drum filled with rice, leading to the villagers' assumption that the rest of the truck was loaded with rice en route to Japan. Another point on the master plan, Tobin said, was for the communists to propose that all occupation forces both Russian and American leave the coun try. This was done. The "catch" to the proposal was that before they left the communists raised, - NEWS ABC YOUR NAIL TRIBUNE STATION 7:15 A-M.-Martin Agronsky, ABC 7:30 A.M.-Bob Garred, ABC 7:55 A.M.-UP News Flashes 11:45 A.M.-UP News Headlines 12:15 P.M.-UP News Roundup 4:30 P.M.-UP World News 6:00 P.M.-UP News Roundup 6:30 P.M.-Edwin C.

To Use As Excuse The final step of the plan was to arrange a series of communist uprisings in south Korea, and to use these as an excuse to "take over" the southern part of the country, Tobin said. The latter portion of this point "is the one now in effect, he added. Some of the sources of infor mation about the situation with which Tobin is familiar, he is unable to divulge for security reasons. But he did say that the south Korean army is too small to be an effective fighting force, even though it was well-organized. In addition, it was shot through with communist cells and sympathizers, he said, a statement borne out by recent news reports of defections on the part of both army and navy personnel. The sources of information available to American forces in south Korea certainly should have been adequate to provide advance warning of the sudden attack last week, Tobin said, and he fails to see how the out- j break of war there could have ; been much of a surprise to offi-! cers in the field. !

Clerks across the country said the decline in romance followed a trend nouceaDie since iiu, the first postwar year. No Longer Backlog Missouri's bureau of vital statistics explained that there was no longer a backlog of de layed marriages such as there was at the end of World War II. They just don't seem to want to get married," complained Joe Belitz, chief deputy in the coun ty judge's office at Omaha, Neb. Belitz said he issued ZHU a-: censes up to June 22. During the same period last year he handed , out 318. i At Seattle, Wash., License I Clerk W. A. Hill blamed a slight J June decline this year on the weather. "Love and the number of mar riage licenses issued goes up di rectly in proportion to the tem perature," he said. "It's been cool here." There were exceptions to the trend. Huntington, W. Va., re ported that the number of June marriages ftiore than doubled this year, and Phoenix. Ariz., reported a marked increase. A survey of San Francisco. Los Angeles, Fresno and Sacra mento showed a nine per cent decline. Clerks said the appli cants "Seem to be getting young er all the time." A Fresno. Cal. clerk said many residents of Mexican descent sign license applications, neplect to go through with actual cere- j monies and "live happily ever ' afterward in the belief they are married." A 19 -year -old Indianapolis negro asked for his money back. He complained that his bride of a month had left him.
