base his
on facts
Tho Wisdom of the Man
Who Faces Facts
I wish everyone in this coun
try would join me in reading
the first installment of Bernard
Bar uch's fas
cinating auto
b i o g raphy. I
wish then that
everyone
would thr ill,
as I did, over
his statement
that if one is
to succeed in
this life, he
must learn to
decisions and actions
-all the facts he can
get on a subject. Then he must
face these facts, and act upon
them and them alone. He must
not let himself be influenced by
prejudices, or by what he wishes
or hopes is true. Only in this
way did Mr. Baruch make his
first million by the time he
was 39.
As he says, he has seen many
prominent men lose out time
and again because they went
against the facts, and believed
what they wanted to believe. In
1901, Mr. Baruch made $700,000
by selling Amalgamated Copper
short at a time when the facts
were that the production of the
red metal was exceeding the de
mand. Baruch knew that, under
such circumstances, the stocks
of copper-producing companies
would have to come down. They
could not keep going up as a
group of wealthy speculators In
sisted they would. Because these
speculators ignored the facts,
they lost heavily.
When I get a scolding letter
from someone about a column,
he or she says, "I don't like what
you said," or. "I resent what
you said." or "You had no right
to say that," or "You've sold
out to the aluminum trust or
the AMA," or "You are an
ignoramus. " The fact that in my
column I quoted from, let us
say. a report of the National Re
search Council, or a committee
of distinguished experts appoint
ed by the British Government,
does not influence my angry
reader. What interests me is that
rarely does anyone question my
facts or try to show me wherein
they are wrong. What amuses me
is that, instead of sending his
angry letter to the eminent men
who gathered and published the
facts, the fellow attacks me,
missing the point that I am just
reporting what was said. Often,
while failing to note that I am
acting merely as a passer-on of
information, he accuses me bit
terly of being too strongly in
favor of something I wrote
about, or of being viciously
against him and his group.
The only feature of all this
that worries me is that so many
of us humans are not influenced
by facts, but by our violent dis
likes or by what we want to
believe is true. And this is why
so many of us get into terrible
trouble in this world. Some
times, because of tTiis tendency,
some of us lose all of our money,
and some of us lose our life.
What I wonder is, if our vaunted
educational system ought to try
to combat this method of think
ing? Perhaps it could not change
it because it is so fundamental.
On Taking a Child
To the Hospital !
A recent study showed great i
need for more cooperation be-1
tween physicians and hospitals j
in setting a child into a hospital j
bed without frightening him !
badly. The evidence shows that,
first, the doctor should tell the
parents more than he usually
does as to why he wants the
child in the hospital, and what
he thinks is wrong. Is it some
awful and hopeless disease? Will
there be an operation? If the
child becomes frightened, will
he be comforted by the nurses,
or will he be made to cry it
out?
The parents must be honest
with the child and must tell him
that he is going to a hospital
where he will have to stay a
while, so that the doctor can help
him to get well. They must not
get him to the place by lying
to him. On arrival at the hos
pital, it is much less trying on
the parents and the child if the
mother is allowed to go up into
the ward and help the nurse pre
pare him for bed. When he sees
that the mother knows and trusts
the nurse, he is much less likely
to get panicky when his mother
leaves.
Some hospitals are now mak
ing an effort to set up a system
through which anxious parents
can more easily find out how
their child is doing, as after an
operation. Some hospitals are
trying to arrange, also, for the
answering of all the mother's
questions about the care of her
child when she comes to take
him home. That these new ar
rangements are much needed
was revealed when a number
of parents who had recently had
a child in a hospital, told how
distressed they and the child had
been over certain happenings.
Certainly, all members of hos
pital boards who have any inter
est in the public relations of
their institution ought to be
looking into these matters, and
doing something to lessen the
distreesses of the men and wom
en and children who use their
facilities.
In the last few years anes
thetists have been trying to less
en the fright of children who
are about to be operated on.
The ideal method would be to
put the child to sleep in his
mother's arms in his room. An
other method is to have the
child sit in the anesthetist's lap
and blow into the face of a
"sleepy rabbit," from the mouth
of which is coming an anes
thetizing gas. Soon the child
goes to sleep without any strug
gle or alarm. Later, when he
wakes in his room, he has no
idea that that he was operated
on!
Dr. Alvarez hopes his readers
will understand that it would
be impossible for him to answer
requests for information or to
attempt to diagnose by mail.

Gromyko Accused
Of 'Falsifications'
Washington OP! The United
States has accused Soviet For
eign Minister Andrei A. Gromy
ko of "falsifications" and "blus
tering" in charging that the U.S.
is plotting intervention in Syria.
The State Department said
Gromyko seemed to be "deliber
ately calculating to break, those
bridges of understanding which
still sustain our hopes for
peace."
The unusual personal attack
cn the Soviet foreign minister
was prompted by statements he
made in Moscow at a Tuesday
news conference. In addition to
his charges on Syria, Gromyko
denounced American-allied poli
cies on disarmament, and Euro
pean, Middle Eastern and Far
Eastern affairs.

Quotes From the News
By UNITED PRESS
Houston, Tex. Sen. Clinton P. Anderson, asking what Is the
key to peace in the atomic age:
""The answer might be to be certain the atom goes to work
not in arsenals and in guided missiles, but in the simple tasks of
turning wheels, testing metals and probing the earth for its treas
ure of oil and minerals and in the tasks of medicine and agricul
ture." Washington Rep. Brooks Hayi (D.-Ark.) the man credited
with bringing President Eisenhower and Arkansas Gov. Orval
Faubus together to discuss the Little Rock school crisis:
"I have advised with the governor of course. And I have been
transmitting information to the White House all along. I have only
tried to be helpful. There are many others helping too."
Chicago Sen. Hubert Humphrey (D.-Minn.) saying there Is
little' the United States can gain by showing anxiety in the Syrian
situation:
"The United States is a big country and should respond to
such crises with less emotion."
- Washington Israeli Ambassador Abba Eban, in saying that
American arms shipments to the Middle East do not effectively
strengthen security in the area:
"We definitely think , that in the relationship between the
Western powers and Middle Eastern stales emphasis should be
placed upon economic development and progress and not on ac
cumulation of armaments."
United Nations, N.Y. Cuban U.N. Ambassador Emilio Nunez
Portuondo, in saying the Hungarian revolt shattered the myth of
a Communist paradise for workers:
"But something more was demonstrated. This was that it is not
true that after the 'death of Stalin, the cruel and ferocious policy
of the Moscow government had altered by one inch. It did not
change one iota."
Method of Exploding Bacteria Revealed
Detroit OP) A fast, simple
method for exploding bacteria
cells was revealed here recently
by two research men of the Uni
versity of California at Davis.
The new method will vastly
simplify studies of the chemis
try of cell walls and the com
pounds inside cells, Allen G.
Marr, assistant professor of bac
teriology, and graduate student
Stanley A. Robrish told the So
ciety of American Bacteriolo
gists. The cells are first placed in a
concentrated solution of glycer
ol, or glycerin, which the cells
soak up, Robrish said. Then the
glycerol-laden bacteria are put
in water and as the liquid rushes
into the cells, they explode.

Little girls
beget big
heartaches
From the moment they're born, gfrfs are a lot of
trouble. Little ones wiggle too much. Big ones shed
too many tears. All of them want dresses that cost too
much. And Mothers and Dads never stop worrying
about them never stop loving them as they take
each difficult step from babyhood to girlhood, from
blue jeans to crinolines.
Is your little girl starting school this year? If so,
she's taking her first step towards growing up
starting on her way towards high school, college,
wedding bells and managing a home of her own.
There's so much yon want her to learn. So many
things she needs to know to grow up into the kind of
wife and mother you want her to be.
One of the important lessons for your daughter to
learn is the meaning of thrift and the value of a
regular savings program. And that's what the U. S.
Treasury's School Savings Program will teach her.
By the purchase of 104 and 25 Savings Stamps in
their schools, children can save up for U. S. Saving
Bonds of their very own. And, as you know, Savings
Bonds are one of the best investments that any of
us can make.
Is your child's school participating in this impor
tant program? Why not speak to your principal,
school superintendent or P. T. A. gToup about it?
And start the U. S. School Savings Program in your
school today.
Your Savings Bonds State Director will gladly help
yon install a School Savings Plan or revitalize a
present one. Phone or write him or contact the
Savings Bonds Division, U. S. Treasury Depart
ment, Washington 25, D. C
U. S. Savings Stamps point the way
you want your child to grow!
