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

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.
The library of the Wisconsin
Stale Historical society at Madi-
j son. Wis., established in 1846, is
the largest of any American his
torical society, and contains up
wards of 347,205 volumes.
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
