On The Side (Distributed by Kiiif f Brussels The environs of ' Brussels and the countryside ad jacent to it abound in historic battlefields. The first of these travellers hasten to visit is Wat erloo. That will not be the first for me. I am going to Bastogne. That you will recall is the bat tlefield where Brig. Gen. An thony McAuliffe of the American 101st airborne division voiced his brief but extremely empha tic reply to the German General Von Rundstedt's demand that he surrender. That happened in De cember, 1944. The Germans had Bastogne completely encircled. Von Rundstedt demanded that the United States forces surrend er or be annihilated. To which Gen. McAuliffe replied: "Nuts!" the American forces held out in horr ible weather conditions which included snowstorms and fog. They held on stubbornly until the Germans were driven off badly defeated. Incidentally, the residents of Bastogne now refer to heir town as "The La Nuts City." v Greeting. The Brussels citizens sre great handshakers. When friends meet they shake hands in greeting. During their conversion they fre quently shake hands to Indicate agreement on some opinion voic ed. Saying goobye they shake hands again. The women here when meeting a man of their ac quaintance do not shake hands. They give him a kiss. A very nice custom. Unfortunately, I m still a stranger here. Patron Stalnt Have you a relative or friend named Barbara? Does she know that St. Barbara Is the patron Saint of Artillery? There is a chapel dedicated to St. Barbara In the church of Notre Dame de la Chapelle In Brussels. This church was founded in 1134 A.D. I am sending picture postcards of the chapel dedicated to St. Bar bara to all the girls I know nam ed Barbara. Tom A fog settles over the city of Brussels at night at this time of the year. At times it is quite thick. However, the taxi skip pers here who are real speed boys don't slow down bcause of that. They still keep hitting 60 miles an hour or better. Perhaps . I will suggest that the Brussels taxicabs be equipped with fog horns. On second thought maybe I better mind my own business. Sidelight Belgians are among the world's greatest coffee drinkers. The av erage Belgian starts drinking coffee at the age of three . . . one of the most beautiful and fashionable streets in Brussels Is avenue Franklin Roosevelt . . . United States manufactured cig arettes, regular size, sell here for 46 cents a package. King size are priced at 60 cents. TlXM Taxes are high and numerous in Belgium. For that reason most husbands and wives have jobs. In many cases each has a reg ular Job and another on the side in their spare time. This is not entirely due to a struggle to make a living. The Belgians are noted for a wish to live well. Their ambition is to have the best of everything. Driving No auto driving license is re quired in Belgium. There is no speed limit in the city of Brus sels. As you can imagine this situation brings about some very wild and erratic driving. Good thing for me I had some practice dodging automobiles and bicycles in Amsterdam. That added to my boyhood experience as a trolley dodger in Brooklyn makes me fairly safe. This morning I did some really high class dodging. One speed boy rounding a corn er I was standing on came up on By E. V. Durling arum Ivadicaro. Inc.) the sidewalk. Only a superb bit of quick sidestepping saved me. Among in Married The Belgian government, in common with that of France and Holland, is making a determined effort to increase the birth rate. However, in Belgium you have to have an unusual number of offspring to collect a birth rate bonus. Five children are neces sary to be eligible for a S50-a-month "family a 1 1 o w a n c e." Young Belgian coupleskecp hop ing for quintuplets. Baby Shops There are an unusual large number of shops here specializ ing in attire for expectant moth ers and infants. One bears the quaint name of "Mrs. Mallaby's Baby Shop. Speaking of infants do you know a young couple who are trying to figure out some names for the expected arrival? For a girl, ask them what they think of tsmerelda. The recently born daughter of former King Leopold of Belgium has been named . Marie Esmerelda Ade laide Lilian Anne Leopoldine.

Scientists Disagree With Ike's Stand on Atom Bomb Detection For Quick Cash Use Man Tribune Want Ads Chicago UR) A group of 70 nuclear scientists Sunday night disagreed with President Eisen hower's declaration that only the largest H-bomb blasts can be detected. The President, in a 7,000-word 'white paper" on nuclear tests, said Tuesday a suspension of such testing could not be en forced because the "very large" blasts probably would be the only ones detected if one nation violated the agreement. The members of an organiza tion called the Atomic Scientists of Chicago, however, said the explosion of any H-bomb equal to one million tons of TNT or more can be detected by its worldwide effects. , "Much' information can be ob tained from remote monitoring stations about the size, composi tion, efficiency and design of the bomb exploded," they said. "The United States, U.S.S.R., Great Britain, Japan and other coun tries already possess such moni toring equipment." Meet With Newsmen The scientists, most of them physicists, organized their unit in 1946 and now compose the local chapter of the American Federation of Scientists. Three representatives of the group met with newsmen in a University of Chicago building just a stone's throw from the Stagg field stands where the first successful atomic chain re action took place. The spokesmen were David Inglis, senior physicist at Ar- gonne National laboratory; Wil liam Davidson, another Argonne physicist, and Leopold Haimson, a University of Chicago history professor who commented on displomatic aspects of the pro posed H-bomb moratorium. They issued a' statement by Dr. David L. Hill, a Los Alamos, N.M., physicist, who said criti cism of Adlai E. Stevenson's pro posal to ban H-bomb tests was "political dust." Appears Desirable "I have studied these criti-. cisms," he said, "and believe they are all political dust to be thrown into the eyes of the vot ers between now and Nov. 6." "A ban on the testing of large nuclear weapons, initiated by the United States and carried out in concert with all other na tions, appears desirable from every point of view," he added. The Chicago scientists said a halt in hydrogen bomb tests would be an important step to ward peace on a sound basis. They said the problem "tran scends political partisanship." Davidson explained the scien tists decided to make a public plea at this time for ending the tests because it has become a topic of wide discussion and "the public is having thrown upon it a deluge of scientific nonsense." Administration Failures Cited By Kefauver With Kefauver in Ohio OJ.R) Sen. Estes Kefauver charged today that President Eisenhower has given the country only a "disheartening record of bro ken promises, abandoned goals, defeat and disillusionment." He said the Chief Executive "has failed utterly, abjectly, mis erably, to do what he professed to set out to do. And in his heart of hearts he must know this." The Democratic vice presi dential nominee swung into the home stretch phase of his inten sive handshaking campaign across Ohio today in a determin ed bid to help the Democrats win a senatorship and the govern ship even if they do not capture the state's 25 electoral votes. Swinging Harder He went into the final week of campaigning swinging harder at Mr. Eisenhower and Vice President Richard M. Nixon than he has to date in the cam paign. In a speech prepared for deliv ery at Fihdlay, Ohio, Kefauver charged that Mr. Eisenhower has been "used badly" by the GOP "old guard" and "has exchanged a place of honor in history for a secondary role in politics the role of a front man for Richard Nixon." Kefauver mapped a whirlwind 16-hour day of campaigning in Ohio that began with an early morning rally in Lima and was Portland Woman ' Seized at Gunpoint Portland U.K A young woman was abducted at gun point by a jilted suitor and her stepfather was wounded yester day, Multnomah county police reported. Officers alerted police through out the Northwest to be on the lookout for the man and Miss Mildred Macomb, 22, who were last seen in a 1953 Dodge station wagon. Deputies said complaints against the man were to be sign ed today. William Henry Young. 47, the stepfather, told officers he suf fered a flesh wound as he at tempted to protect his step daughter. He said the man. about 40, came into the house and started an argument. Police said they learned Miss Macomb had known the man in Alaska and that she had refused to see him after returning here last month. scheduled to end with a late night flight from Canton, Ohio, to Champaign, 111.
