Quotes From the News
By Uniled Presi International
Amman, Jodan King Hussein of Jordan, after appealing
to the Iraqui people to crush the rebellion against their
goverrgient:
"The whole world has been upset by the plunder and
murder committed in Baghdad ... We never thought that
a number of rabble who were infatuated with destructive
Communist and fascist Nasserism could create such chaos."
New Dalhi, India Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru of
India, after telling a Congress Party workers rally in
Allahabad that he would fly back to New Elelhi for an
emergency cabinet meeting scheduled for today:
"Although we are not going to interfere in the affairs
of Iraq and Lebanon, we are greatly concerned over develop
ments in those countries. There is no doubt that these are
internal affairs you might call it civil war. But if outside
powers intervene in these affairs, there is great danger of
world war. Tension is increasing and nobody knows where
it will end."
London British Prime Minister Harold Macmillan, dis
cussing the Mideast crisis during a debate in the House of
Comrapns:
'"Wie situation is grave and dangerous,' not only for this
country but ipt Europe .. . Both the motives of the United
9t$tes ie taking the action they have done and the decision
f ler Majesty's Government in giving its full support are
t4fjrsloot and will be supported by the nation as a whole."
New York Gertrude Ederle, first woman to swim the
English Channel, complaining that the sport now is gone
from chanel swimming:
"Tte channel swim today is commercial. In my day it
wjs a sports achievement. Now they endorse products and
watches. Thy say they were able to do it because they ate
some cereal or other and. they stop in the middle of the
channel to hold up their watches and look at the lime."

That answer was given by
Drs. Hugh Jolly and T. R. W.
Forrest after tempting 613
children one to eight years
old with pills of 10 hues. They
found that most of the kids
reached much more eagerly
for a .magenta pill or a blue
pill than for a black or
wine-colored one.
in tne past few years,
there has been a decided in

Opinions Differ
This has resulted in man
ufacturers and doctors propa
gandizing parents to keep
pills out of the reach of chil
dren. But 'the increase" in
child-poisonings has coincided
with the fad of coloring pills
into all the brilliant shades
of a rainbow.
Pills used to be black,
brown, white or pink. Now
they are bright orange, yel
low, reddish-purple; they even
come in pastel shades. Indeed,
there are two - toned pills
which came into vogue at
about the time the two-toned
cars were coming into popu
larity. The coloring matter is arti
ficial. It has nothing to do
with the medicinal value of
the pill. Some doctors have
complained, saying they were
plain M.D.s and wanted to
prescribe only plain ' pills.
But others have endorsed the
colors on the ground that a
cheerfully colored pill is
cheerfully swallowed.
Accidental poisonings . of
children have been increas
ing uniformly in the great
pill - taking countries, the
United States and Western
Europe, where the multi
colored pills have swept the
field. But it remained for
Jolly and Forrest to put the
parallel events to the test of

To Corporation

tric development.

"The facts are about 57 per
cent of the people who drink
do not like the taste of
liquor," the Washington, D.C.
