While the brave lads and lasses
who went as delegates try to solve
the problems of the world back in
Chicago let's do a little solving
here at home. Of course we donl
have the heat and the Jammed hall
to spark thought, but we can pos
sibly go out and hire a couple of
men off the street to come in and
heckle us while we work if that
would get us in the mood.
Anyway, Just to start the ball
rolling here are a few suggestions
for the betterment of the home,
city, state and national along with
business.
Why not Include air conditioning
In the building code? We have a
lot of things not half as ridiculous
now that must be done In order to
comply with the rules. Then we
wouldn't have the heat problem
so badly.
Why not a federal law granting
husbands two nights out a week?
We could call it the harmony bill
both from the standpoint of the
home and the weird sounds that
would issue from neighborhood
clubs. ' . -
Why not put a penny slot ma
chine on top of -every mail box In
the nation add pay off tho national
debt?
Why not divert a few billions
from the AEO funds and see If we
could do something about whipping
the common cold before we worry
about a bomb that will flatten Mos
cow? Why not work seven days a
week, fifty two weeks a year ad
give everyone a two month holi
day per year? Then you wouldn't
have the slow down over holidays
and the extra-duty shifts that have

ordinary table salt is in short sup
5 ply. and is considered very val-

small amounts of sodium chloride

f. Wilbur Feeble, America's most
; average citiien, goes to the heart
j of the GOP problem In the fol
: lowing letter to his wife, Trellis
Mae, from the Republican Na-
tional Convention,
: CHICAGO m Well, honey. It
; looks like five stars over the White
. House according to a waitress
; who sold me a hot dog at conven
1 tion hall.
"Ike's in I" she told me haDDilv.

I The story now is that General
i Eisenhower Is doing so well that
he is offering to deed the Texas
.. delegates to General MacArthur in
; a package labeled: "Don't open
; unui mas."
i Bob Taft is still in there pitching
, with both vocal chords, but most
. of the bystanders now seem to feel
i that the steam in his steamroller
t is only going "fls-z-s-z-z-z." They
believe Ike has romanced the ele
. phant and taught him to salute.
Ike's backers are so sure he'll
be nominated and elected that
they are already picking his cabi
net. I overheard one fellow at a
' bar say:
! "Our problem now is unity to
heal the party's wounds. Ike ought
j to name Thomas E. Dewey secre
; tary of state, Warren secretary of
- the interior, Stassen postmaster
general, and MacArthur secretary
of agriculture. Taft could be vice
president."
"In that case we might as well
make it a coalition cabinet and
appoint Harry 8. Truman secretary
of the treasury," a bitter Taft man
;sald.

. what to do with John Foster Dulles,

Why not put a swimming pool
In the lawn of every couithouse
across the nationr
. Why not build bouses on stilts to
give ventilation and also let a
man pull up his front steps when
ne wants to be alone?
Why not devise a simple and sen-
sible method of electing presidents
by a popular vote? iThere must
be at least a dozen such proposals
currently gathering dust In the 11'
brary of congress.)
Why not outlaw the use of auto
mobiles within the city limits? That
would solve the parking question
once and for all. Then we could
all ride bikes or motor skooters.
Why not give up our system of
currency and go back to the bar
ter system? This would lessen
crime. Increase the incentive for
work.x and give us an all-around
higher living standard.
Why not stop and think a little
about the rosy days when America
was an Isolationist nation? You
know, back before we signed a con
tract to feed and clothe the world.
Why not install a tinkering room
in every business office? Some
place where the employes could
mend a watch, sew on a button,
cut out a pair of book ends, ham
mer the heel back on their shoe,
straighten out the bent fender of
Junior's tricycle, etc. It might tend
to take a little of the pressure off
this mlle-a-minute world.
And If you dont like these sug
gestions why don't you think up
a few of your own? After all. It
only took thought lor Edison to
dream up the electric light. Or
was it the phonograph?

In certain diseases the amount
of salt taken into the body has to
be limited. Too mucti salt eitner
has a bad effect on the diseased
organs or holds an excessive amount
of water in the tissues of the body,
thus causing the accumulation of
fluid in the legs or abdomen.
Under such circumstances, the
excess salt is not eliminated nor
mally but stays in the tissues. In
order to maintain a constant bal
ance between the sodium chloride
and water in the tissues, excess
water Is also retained.
For this reason, the physician
may reduce the salt in the diet of
persons with certain kinds of heart
disease, kidney disease or diseases,
of the blood vessels. There are
some other conditions, like Addi
son's disease, in which tie use of
sodium chloride has to be strictly
regulated.
A great deal of table salt now
has a little iodine mixed m. This
iodized salt has done a great deal
to reduce the frequency of goiter,
and extensive studies have not re
vealed any harmful effects. Truly,
the - importance of salt to human
beings cannot be exaggerated.
Dulles secretary to John Foster
Dulles so there'll be no doubt about
his policy?"
Well, honey, as you can see from
this kind of talk the Republicans
are kind of tuckered out. They
have had a rough week. They are
not used to fighting among them
selves like DemociaU. A donkey
can relax acting like a Jackass,
but It makes a dignified elephant
nervous.
It may be a bit early for the
Ike fans to count Senator Taft out.
Personally, I know of only one man
who has turned in his Taft button
and he explained It was only be
cause he was having his suit
pressed and wanted it back right
away if Taft Is nominated.
The increasing likelihood that
Ike will be the Republican nom
inee is very annoying to some
members of the Old Guard GOP
who refer to him as "the five-star
Cinderella from Aboloney, Kan
sas." "Drat It, we are always falling
for glamor boys," one said. "I
would rather run Herb Hoover
again if we can't have Taft. Let's
be real Republicans."
Well. Trellis Mae. I am no sur.
geon. But If I had to sew up the
wounds in the Republican party at
this moment I wouldn't use thread.
I'd call for rope.
However, an old-time observer
of conventions, told me:
"Bon, there Is nothing in this
world shorter than a politician's
memory. The promise of future
patronage can cure a lot of present
name-calling."
Another veteran Rentihllrnn hnri
this to say about the convention
and he shook his head as he said
The trouble with us Remibllcana
Is that we've got too many leaders,
and the Democrats they've got
too many people."

Korean Truce Talks
Reach Anniversary
Bv SAM Sl'MMERLIN
MUNSAN. Korea tfl One year
ago today Gen. Matthew B. Rldg
way stood on a dusty helicopter
field here and waved goodbye to
five men who flew to red-held
Kaesong to seek peace for Keren.
Hopes were high that day. Today,
one year later, the struKKle of war
and peace goes on, and no end
seems in sight.
The papers that make up the
historical record of the truce talks
now stand seven feet high.
Delegates have come and gone.
None of the original five remains.
Fifteen generals and admirals
have sat down at the conference
table across from the communists.
And Gen. Mark Clark stepped In
United Nations commander
when Ridgway moved to Paris.-
ine delegates nave worked near
ly 600 hours at the Kaesong and
Panmunjom conference tables.
The shortest session was 15 sec
onds on April 14.
The longest was seven hours and
30 minutes on Nov. 26 when staff
officers drew the proposed cease
fire line.
The negotiators now have agreed
on the comDlete armistice docu
ment ecent for one monumental
i Issue. That Is how to exchange
the prisoners of war.
Fo' 300 hours, the debaters
have tried to figure out how to
satisfy each side on this emotion-
packed question.
The Reds want their men back
forcibly if necessary. The Allies
sav they will return only those who
want to return.
The easiest item to settle In
A ton Item In the Communist
propaganda primer Is the standard
assertion that American capitalism
cannot prosper without vast arms
expenditures or pump-priming for
eign aid outlays.
The line is this: the U.S. system
Is hODelesslv out of balance. Pro
duction normally far outruns con
sumption, so to keep tha economy
going, we have to drum up demand
artlfically by placing huge war or
ders and ladling goods out to our
foreign friends.
It Is true that during the great
depression of the 1930's produc
tion and consumption were out of
kilter and the economy was af
fected bv other serious distortions.
It. is also correct that the depres
sion really ended only with the
start of defense and war spending
in 1939. and that we have had al
most contlniuously high arms and
foreign aid outlays ever since.
nut the ereat flaw in the Red
propaganda is that the United State
is no longer the same country It
was in the thirties. .
Our population nas mcreasea suo
stantially. To be sure, so has our
Industrial canacitv. and it might
be argued that the effective de
mands of the people are still out
matched bv our ability to produce.
Yet this Ignores many oiner iea
tures of American lite which did
not exist. 20 years ago.
It would be foolhardy to say we
could not have another depression.
Who can be sure? But it is not
silly to say that are safeguards
against one are far greater than
existed in 1930.
There is compensation for un
pmnlnvment. Farmers have the as
surance of price supports. Bank
deposits are protected. The law
forbids manv of the practices that
led to the wild stock-market gyra
tions of the pre-depresslon era. The
whole level of government support
of the economy is many times
hlerher than ever in our nistory.
Thin thoueh. Is tust the nega
tive side of the picture. The posi
tive aspect Is more important.
Not only have we grown, ouv we
are still growing. Experts now
look for a population increase of
25 millions In the next generation,
these added Americans will all
have to be fed, housed, clothed
and served In myriad wavs.

pitals, new roads and countless oth

Allied truce team, and dapper
North Korean Gen. Nam II, top
red delegate. .
During the truce, strange teams
will keeD watch at five cities In
the north and five in the south to
see what men and supplies flow
into Korea.
The' teams will be composed of
observers from two Iron Curtain
countries. Poland and Czechoslo

growth. The economy will have to
go on expanding to fulfill the needs,
and the expansion. itself will create
an outlet for goods.
A good deal of this effort will
require the assistance of public
funds at the local, state and fed
eral levels. There is really nothing
new in this. The onlv thing dif
ferent is the scale of operations
in a country of 156 millions.
On top of all this, the record
shows that the American standard
of living does not remain station
ary. It has gone up more or less
steadily for many decades. The
prospect is that It will continue to
climb, again with resulting greater
demand for the products of Ameri
can industry.
It is safe also to conclude that
all kinds of totally new products
will enter the scene and will have
a salutary effect upon the econo
my. And the country's history re
veals further that the curve of pro
ductivitymeasuring industrial ef
ficiencyhas gone up steadily and
should continue to soar. This means
more product for less effort, and
contributes to that climbing Stan
dard of living.
Finally, the United States has a
genuine Interest in the Improve
ment of living standards not only
In Europe but In the backward
lands of Africa and Asia.
We cannot hand these peoples
Ihe money to buy our goods with.
But we can. as we are under Point
Four, extend to them technical and
professional help that will guide
their economies to higher levels
and develop them as vigorous trad
ing partners for us In a free world.
As such they will have much need
of our materials and products.
The vision of America as a hope

artificial expenditures is a tired
re-run of an old. flickering film of
the depression U.S. The America
of today Is a vibrant land with a
