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."

Growth in Phases
Of Atomic Industry
Significant in '56
New York (U.PJ Growth
In all phases of America's peace
time atomic industry was signif
icant in 1956, according to a
summary issued today by the At
omic Industrial forum.
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.
American industry also sign
'ed contracts or announced plans
to build eight uranium ore pro
cessing mills, a feed materials
plants, five nuclear fuel element
manufacturing plants, seven crit
ical facilities, and three zircon
ium and two beryllium produc
tion facilities during the year.
Some 134 industrial firms be
gan using radioactive isotopes
for the first time, bringing the
total number of industrial users
to 1121. More than 20 compan
ies completed or planned to build
major radiation research centers.
Electric Blanket Fire
Fatal To Patient
Portland (U.R! Hospital
electric blanket-caused fire re
sulted in the death of a 63-year-old
Portland man Monday.
Phil L. Polsky, head of Chris
tenson Oil company here, died
a few hours after he was criti
cally burned as he lay in his
hospital bed.
Polsky was a patient at the
hospital. Doctors said that he
suffered burns over 60 per cent
of his body as a result of the
fire.
Firemen commended nurses
and orderlies who removed Pol
sky from his smoke-filled room.
Firemen had to don masks to
enter.
Hospital attendants said the
electric blanket had been
brought to the hospital by Pol
sky when he was admitted.
A strip tease dancer union.
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.'

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.
