Red Papers Bias! Yugoslav's Tiio; 'Concern' Shown Moscow (U.R; Two Sov iet publications blasted Yugo slav President Tito today and one said reports he is planning trip to the United States has roused "concern." The war of words between Belgrade and Moscow livened up with separate attacks on Tito and Vice President Edward Kar delj by the weekly New Times and by the Communist Party's top theoretical magazine, Kom munist. The New Times accused Yugo slavia of playing into the hands of imperialists who are using the slogan "national Communism" to split East Europe and Com- munist parties all over the world from the Soviet Union. Slogan Advanced "That is precisely why imper ialist circles with such joy snatch up the slogan advanced by comrade Tito of 'independ ence' for socialist countries and Communist parties from the Sov iet Union and the Soviet Com munist party." New Times said. The New Times said reports of Tito's possible visit to Wash ington had aroused "concern" among Soviet opinion "which cannot remain silent at the be ginning of a new round of flirt ation between the imperialist forces and Yugoslavia." The Kommunist limited its at tacks to Kardelj and his Dec. 7 speech to the Yugoslav Parlia ment in which he criticized Sov iet policy in Hungary and en gaged in a theological dispute r with the Russians. The long analysis of the speech by Kommunist called it "full of contradictions" and said it was "absurd" and "reactionary" and "helpful to our class enemies."

The summary said the atomic industry completed construction of two nuclear reactors, carried forward work on 17 reactors of various types that were begun before 1956, and received con tracts or began construction on 59 new nuclear reactors in the course of the year. The new re actors Included 30 research and test reactors and 29 power-type reactors. Private Concerns The research and test type re actors are being built for priv ate U. S. concerns, for the fed eral government and overseas export, the summary said. The power-type reactors are destined for naval and merchant ship propulsion, for prototype or demonstration reactors for the atomic energy commission and for land-based pow'er demonstra tion plants for private buyers In this country.

That's what they have in Paris. The daring dancers of the French capital are unionized under the name of "The Strip Club de Paris." At the present there are 123 strip tease danc ers performing in 23 Paris cab arets. These cabarets have also been staging weekly "Amateur Nights." On these occasions am ateur strip tease dancers, which included stenographers, sales girls, manicurists and even housewives, competed for prizes. These "Amateur Nights" for strip teasers became too rough even for Paris. Now they have been banned by the police. Asking Queries from clients. Q. Is Texas a Western state or a Southern state? A. Texas is a Southern state and fought with the Confederacy in the War Be tween the States Q. Who was the owner of the thorough bred immortalized by Ella Whe eler Wilcox in the poem "How Salvator Won"? A. The noble animal you mention was owned by James Ben Ali Haggin of California. Witnesses It was that celebrated lawyer Samuel Leibowitz, who said, Women witnesses are dynamite for any lawyer. The cardinal rule is don't cross-examine them at all unless it is absolutely nec essary and then ask only ques tions you are pretty sure will produce safe answers." Limit The drinking capacity of the average female is two cocktails. After drinking more than that a woman begins to act silly and talk likewise. Also her defense is greatly weakened. Before go ing to a cocktail party a woman should drink four ounces of olive oil. That will enable her to stay sober much longer. She may be able to drink as many as five or six cocktails without making a fool of herself. Passing By Joe Schenck. Eminent film magnate. Once owned a drug store at Third Ave. and 86th St., Manhattan. At that time he roomed with Harry Armstrong, who with Richard Gerard wrote the most popular quartette num ber of all time, namely "Sweet Adeline." That song was origin ally titled "Sweet Rosalie." Under that title the author tried for four years to interest a pub lisher with no success. Then they changed the name of their her oine from Rosalie to Adeline and the first publisher they showed it to under the new title bought it. Please Note Maine for lobsters. Idaho for potatoes Cape Cod for oysters. Delaware for peaches. Wincon sin for cheese. On that the maj ority agrees. How about duck? In case you don't know, over 50 in this country are Long Island ducks. All Long Island ducks are descendants of a breed of Chinese duck known as "Imper ial Pekins." Get It Right How much did Bob Fitzsim mons weigh when he knocked out Jim Corbett on St. Patrick's Day, 1897? The record books say Bob weighed 167 pounds. I claim he weighed only 156 'i pounds. I base that claim on an article written by Fitzsimmons for the Chicago Tribune immedi ately after the fight. From that article I quots: "When I entered the ring, I weighed 156 li pounds while Mr. Corbett weighed 187.' Five Hurt by Special Police in Ireland Belfast .U.PJ Two men and three girls were injured early Tuesday when a North Ireland special police patrol fired on them in the mistaken belief they were members of the outlawed Irish Republican Army.

I 1956 Good Health Year for County Health-wise, 195S was a good year for Jackson county resi dences, Dr. A. E. Merkel, county health officer, said Tuesday. He stated that communicable diseases in general -were minor during the year with the excep tion of infectious hepatitis cases. During 1956, 50 cases were reported in the county with no resulting deaths. Thirteen cases of tuberculosis were reported compared to 16 cases in 1955, but one death was reported during 1956. The death, the only one reported during the last two years, makes the figure for Jackson county, according to Dr. Merkel; far below the averages for both national and state tubercular deaths. Preventable deaths still re main as the major reason for deaths during 1956, Dr. Merkel added. For the first 11 months of 1956, 52 deaths were reported in this category. Dr. Merkel said this figure includes all accident al and violent deaths in the county. Maternal and child health for 1956 was reported as being ex ceptional, according to health department officials, with no maternal deaths reported and the infant death rate being well within previous year's averages.
