BILL JENKINS Managing Editor JENKINS Bonan the other day and sounded him out on his feelings about the matter. Lloyd said Adlal Stevenson is the man to watch, but In the final pinch he thinks Harry Tru man will be drafted and will ac cept the nomination to save the parly. Says he thinks Ike Isn't the tight man for the Job but doesn't know Just who would be. Taxes too high, no initiative due to this oppressive burden. So Lloyd has a lot of company. There's at ieasl one man who knows where he stands, however. Cliff Slater, from Malm, says he's an Old Guard Republican and plans to stay that way. God save the nation and the GOP. In talking to large numbers of people we run across this essen tial difference of opinion on the foreign issue: Which must come first? Asia or Europe. The split is aoout equal Between the two schools of thought. Many think that Asia should be kept free of com munism at any cost and lei Europe take care of itself. Others stick staunchly to the belief that nobody wants, or should want, anything to do with a grub by, backwoods country like that (Asia) and what we should do Is make such a formidable bulwark of Europe that Russia will be stopped in her tracks. - Personally I agree with the "strengthen Asia" group. A tight cork m ine European jug sun won t prevent a backfire from Russia into Asia. And Asia and South America, along with the Pacific, will eventually give us a much greater trade area than Europe ever couia. $oJtdan frequent near the elbow, it com monly goes under the name of "tennis elbow." This appeara to be the result of a sort of injury to the bursa from ore ruse. "Housemaid's knee" is another form of bursitis.' The bursa in volved lies Just back of the knee cap and is also usually the result of Injury or overuse. And as th name implies, it is comparatively common among those who must be on their knees a good portion of the time. There are bursas in other places ail of which have perfectly proper scientific names and any of them" can become inflamed. As in the two forms mentioned, the most common cause of bursitis is injury either by repeated small injuries or from one big one. It is not unusual for bursitis to1 start suddenly with a good deal of pain and discomfort, as any one who has had it can testify. Fre quently the bursa contain? fluid, the area around It Is tender, and motion around It produces a good deal of pain. Sometimes calcium is deposited In the bursa. Bursitis is often easier to avoid than to cure. However, what to do for it once it has started is a real problem. When acutelv inflamed. rest is particularly important and in oroer to make tnis as complete as necessary, a cast, snllnt or bandage is often used. Heat some times relieves some of the pun and tenderness. Part of the pain mav be the result of pressure from fluid, and consequently the doctor may want to draw some of this off through a uecuie. Some extremely interestine- re. suits 'by spraying the skin wltn ethyl chloride has been reported by a New York physician, and there are other treaments which may be worth trving. The acute phase of the bursitis suDsiae eventually but too often it turns into a chronic condition. This is distressing because a chronic bursitis is highly resistant to treatment. Deep X-ray helps some: injection into the bursa of various fluids may help others. In resistant cases it may even be necessary to operate and re move most of the inflamed lining. Fortunately, the really bad cases of chronic bursitis are not too common and most recover without radical treatment.

I think my mother must have been one of them. Mv bovhood Summers were lust one picnic af ter another; until I tot as sick of them as of potato soup.' Now there's something that you don't hear much about anv more potato soup. Maybe because pota toes have become a semi-luxury, by government edict. Back then one blessbvr of the Dlcnlc was that they never served potato soup. We never drank tt cold and we hadn't heard of vlehvs solse. Potato koud was one dish, chicken broth another: the stewed spuds for weekdays, and chicken even- Sunday. Don't get the notion that the po tato stayed home from oicnis. He -vas there, with his eves wide onen. Even then potato salad, baked beans, deviled egRS and picnics were as Inseparable as today's ran cid peanuts., soggy poocorn and 'jocktail bars. And I'm telling you that some women could make 'em dhxqh Heavens Since my report and tracing map of the fiery, booming Seattle mv- icur oi cany May appearea in me newspapers on June 15, I have lit erally been bombarded by a show er of stones. These did not descend rom the skies. They reached me by way of the mall carrier. The senders were sure or at least hoped that their specimens were true "stones that fell from the heavens." I am always glad to examine such arrivals in the hope that a real meteorite will show up. These recent arrivals, however, have been not meteorites but "meteor- ongs." In my 20 years at this work I have found that only one-half of one per cent of the 1000 or more "suspects" received nave been the "real thing." But that hu been quite worthwhile. Most of the aamples received are lava, clinkers, granite, jasper shale, thunder eggs and even agates. Many senders were sure they saw their "finds" descend in a blase of glory the night before they were picked up. Let me quote here from a pamphlet by Dr. H. H. Nintnger, the internationally known meteor ite expert. -Meteorites are not light, por ous rocks. They are not round like ball. At least ne round one is yet known. They are net hollow.

Wilbur, I still say all the Democrats need is a woman's touch. No group of people I have met before has been so disorganised. The place is full of DemoraU who believe in being Democrats. But they don't know who should lead them. They are like, a bunch of boys at a camp when the director has gone, and the kids run around yelling- at each other and no ona to take over responsibility. For 20 years they have been used to playing follow-the-leader. ana now tney must pause and aay: "Well but. who is the leader now7" Wilbur.

They are heavy, much heavier than ordinary rocks, and are solid. One type is very weighty. Freshly fallen ones are generally covered with a thin fus ion crust, usually dark In - color.

A eut. do Ished surface properly treated with acid brings out the beautiful crvs. inline structure never found in ter restrial rocks.

I Just talked around among the girls here honey, you know I know nothing about polities and we all came up with the aame answer: "The only Democrat who can nope to peat General Elsenhower Is Adlal Stevenson." He is the enlv Democratic possi bility who has ummmpphh the mmrs oniy nave premises. I talked to some of the other girls I met here and this Is what mey saio anout the other fellows: Est Kefauver his coonskln cart is shedding, and too manv honen horse players who can't get to the track ean't lay down an henest i bet because of his moral crusade." "Senator Kerr has so much' oil he would want to nut kerosene lamps in tne wnite House. Fasci nating looking devil, though." "The big advantage of Senator Russell is that he is a bachelor and We would not hav to -watfh how his progeny took advantage of the wnue House address 1600 Pennsylvania- Avenue." We ought to save Vice Presl. dent Barkley for the 1036 Olympics Instead of wastine him on the 1952 presidential race." "AvereH Harriman Is In favor of so many things I am worried be cause he hasn't said what he Is against. He simply can't be in faver of everything the New Deal stands for Herbert Hoover proved that." Wilbur, the wav the air1 I have talked to figure it is this way: Adlal Stevenson must be the best candidate because he a i m p I y snniegs off the nresldent. You take Elsenhower. He shrugged In l4t. Now h is shrug ging the other way. Some of the girls I have talked to here of course thev are Democrats say now that Ike actually would like to out Mamie In the White House. Somehow .the Democrats here don't feel they will ever grow Kansas sunflowers on the While Hmise lawn. Thev feel that the camnelen needs a woman's touch. And that Adlal Stevenson for a nolltlclan certainly dos have a lonely face. . .so wistful. Well. dear, all I have had an far la fun and frolic. Yeur loving wife, Trellis Mae P. 8. Please send more monev. I had to buy a new. pair of shoes after dancing with that dubious delegate from Texas. People DO TOO read small space ud - you art! ' ;ff A year's truce negotiations with the Communists, while they gave UN forces respite from full com bat, decreased their military ad vantage and Improved the Red s position, we are now in process of trying to regain some, at least, of eur former edge. We are trying to cripple the source of the amplified mllltary potentlal acquired by the Com munists under the cover of 12 months of "negotiation. Thus we bombed the Yalu River power plants, and more recently saturated military targets around Pyongyang. After both these ventures, protest was nesrd mat tney would upset the truce talks. But how can you upset nothing? For that Is exactly wnat Has been accomplished in the tedious negotiations, in spite of "paper gains" on some points. In other words, while examina tion of the detailed status of the conferences would reveal numer ous places where agreement was apparent, these accords are mean ingless. This Is so because the Reds have peralstently balked at taking the really key steps to set tlement, mis is tne same sort oi tactics they employed on the Austrian treaty. Having allowed ourselves to be enticed Into phony peace talks and having thus lost important military advantage, we cannot now be blamed for seeking to restore by any reasonable military means the superiority we formerly enjoyed. , Am thinfi-a stand -we cannot launch a heavy ground offensive. We are not mounted for It. Further more, it would be an abrupt sig nal that the truce talks were for all practical purposes ended except aa an aosuro notion. Ana mere ia point, in keeping the .door open. We can. however, deliver heavy blows by air, for our air offensive has never been suspended at any stage of the negotiations. If we tapered off, it was only because at times our air strength was diminished. Today it is growing aealn. as evidenced by the mass flight of Thunderjets from this country to Japan for Korean duty. Oeneral Collins, Army Chief of Staff, sounded the right note on a tour of the Korean battlefields when he said . that without an armistice, the Communists can ex. pect hard air attacks. If the Reds want these assaults stopped, they can have It that way. All they have to do is sit down at ranmunjom and negotiate honestly and ser- ously. Truce Parleys Remain Down MUNSAN.

Mm C I II U 1952 May Be Nation's Worst Year For Polio By WARREN BENNETT There were 4.304 polio easel In ine uniiea oiaica up 10 juiv a, ivjj. more than In any other flrstvbslf year in nisiory. That does not necessarily mean a record-breaking polio year, says tne riationai rounaatton lor mien tile Paralysis. It's still loo aarlv to tell. Seventy-five per cent of polio cases come In the really hoi weather from now to September. But the National Foundation aavs the current outbreak Is running 311 per cent higher than this time last year and 44 per cent higher than tne iive-year average. What ultimately Is In store for the country this year can't be predicted. The higher rates ao iar do not necessarily mean a severe year. But the start Is certainly omi nous. The nubile health service report ed 4,304 polio cases In the conti nental US litirme the first 27 week ef 1SJ2. This waa the week ending July t, latest for which national totals are available. During the same period Issl year there were a,2u cases. The 4.304 cases during the first 27 weeks of IB52 la 1.003 higher than the total for the same period in 1(51 when 29.6M cacea were re ported for the full year. In 1141, when the nation had 42, 3M cases, Its heaviest polio epi demic on record, there were only J IM cases during the first 27 weeks ine liH totals, thus far, art 440 higher than 14. In 1850. when the second sever est outbreak occurred. There were 3.09O cases during the first 27 weeks. The full year total for 1060 were 33,360 cases. . This yesr as laat, the western part of the country appears to be the hardest hit. Polio already has reached epi demic proportions In some areas of Texaa. Texas has nearly three times as many cases this year as at a corresponding period In 1961. The Lone Star State reported a to tal of 1.303 cases at the end of the 27th week this year, compared with 43 last year. The California total for the same time was 610 cases this year against 660 In 1061. Louisiana had 240 cases compared with 150 In 1051. Texas, which has nearly onc-thli d of the national total of cases report ed this year, received 44 Iron lungs from the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis 18 of them In June. Last year at the half-year mark, Texas received only 10 respirators from the National Foun dation and only two were required during June. Reflecting this year's high Inci dence, the National Foundation supplied 271 emergency respirators to polio patients In all parts of the nation. Tills was more than three times the number supplied during the first six months of 1061. Last year epidemics hit five states particularly hard. Polio reaches the epidemic stage when there are more than 20 cases per 100,000 population. Hardest bit.
