' Now, on the 178th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence. It's the need to recall that this country was founded on principles and has grown and prospered be cause of Its principles. There are now, and have been since 1776, demagogues who have attempted to twist and change and get around some or these principles. Their stories sound good and their pretty pictures lead you on, but If you apply the fundamental prin ciples of America to their proposi tions you can see them for what they are. The "Primer for Americans" was conceived and developed by Sigurd 8. Larmon, head of a great advertising agency, a man whose business it is to put ideas into sim ple and forceful language. It's good. For example, In ex plaining that the rights of any in dividual shall not Interfere with those of other individuals, . he states; "Your right to swing your arms stops where the other fellow's THE DOCTOR SAYS By EDWIN P.

' Come the duck season and we'll let the tense world situation take care itself while we go out and draw a bead on a wily old green head. More fun, and individual re sults are a lot more satisfactory. Even If you miss. It has finally dawned on us what the new sight is this summer. It's that of children heading downtown on their bicycles and afoot carry ing a swimming suit and a towel. Headed, no doubt, for our new pool. And with the hot weather, what little we've had of It, that pool Is certainly a welcome relief. THE ROUNDS nose starts." As another limiting principle, he states that every individual owes obedience to the laws under which he lives. "The individual has the right to talk against a law, to work and vote to change that law but NOT to disobey that law." 1 As Larmon says, the cornerstone of the principles of America is that each person Is of Importance and value as an individual. That's the first difference between America and most other countries the importance of each person as an Individual. That's Whv this individual Ihlnlr that it's important to ask you, as an individual, to turn to the "Prim er for Americans" and read it. When you've read It. take the time to drop a note and ten cents to Young it Rubicam and ask for the Primer in booklet form. Put the copy In your youngster's li brary or pass it on to some young irieno. Better yet, get several copies and keep one yourself.

It an ounce ot pieventlon Is worth a pound of cure, suomlt that one good old-fashioned Fourth of July would be worth a dosen McCarthy-Army fiascos to impress lor-slty on the nation. We cling to Halloween and New dear's Eve as roistering celebra tions. We perpetuate all of the witches, goblins and champagne neadacnes out of the mythical past yet the Glorious Fourth. with Its historical significance, has become almost forgotten. This gripe is predicated upon the liielong Influence of childhood par ticipation back when grownups made something big and important of The Fourth. What oldster can ever forget them, and how he was right in the midst ot it all? Parti' cipation. is the secret. We don't remember a word that the silver-tongued, spreadeagle or ators bellowed from the bunting- draped band stand in the public square. Their patriotic fervor went right over our heads, but we'll remem ber to our dying day the rumpus we raised in the neighborhood from the crack of dawn until the last dud Roman candle was picked up next morning on the littered lawn. And we know why we could get away with it, without resorting to textbooks. The Fourth was Young Ameri ca's day. It was the annual out burst and safety valve for a kind of fervid country love that was once taught our children: without Us, ands, buta or whereases; just pure unadulterated belief In America.

"Firearm values have gone up fantastically," said John T. Am ber of Chicago, editor of "The Gun Digest.". "There are over 600,000 weapon collectors In America. The num ber has grown tremendously since the war." Amber, a former reporter who became one of the nation's top hunters and riflemen, has a col lection himself of some 76 pistols and 600 rifles. What rifle could be worth Its weight in gold? It Is a specially marked Winchester 1873 model, sometimes called "The rifle that won the west." "Some 700,000 of these rifles were sold, and an ordinary one In average condition today brings only 826 to $60," said Amber. "But the company Put out about 150, shown by factory testing to be exceptionally accurate, and marked them on the barrel 'One out of a thousand. "Only about 36 of these rifles are known to have survived, and each is worth from 86,000 to 87,- 600." One of the sorrows of Amber's er signs of diabetes. Q Is diabetes caused by eat ing too much sugar or sweet foods? , Mrs. A.S. A The general feeling is that in a person who Is already sus ceptible or has a tendency to dia betes too much sugar or starchy foods may bring on the active symptoms. In this sense It may be considered a partial cause. Q My husband suffered an at tack of pericarditis four years ago and was hospitalized. Is he ever likely to recover completely? Mrs. v. A This condition Is an Inflam mation in the lining around the heart. A considerable number ol those who have acuta attacks of such Inflammation do recover com pletely but recovery depends part ly on the particular variety of peri carditis, the age of the victim, and how much of the heart lining was involved.

The earnestness with which kids now play cops and robbers was ex hausted In juvenile dramas out nf the history ot their country. It clicked and became Indelible in their memories. ' Best of all, It was a demonstra tion to their lukewarm and alien playmates of an Americanism that no "academic freedom" smitten professor can put across In a mil' lion years. It was youth in action something that every boy and girl had to believe If they were to belong. The Fourth ot July then em phasised that there is more to freedom than glib words and entases, distorted by the new mis conceptions of "personal liberty" and "minority rlgnts. The rugged bolsterousness of the old-t 1 m e celebration exempli fied the spirit that bomed The Fourth. It established In young minds and kept alive In old ones the realization that words and statesmanship didn't talk America out from under Britain's heel. That brave men risked alt and died for our liberty, and have had to do It again and agaln It is this humble chronicler's be lief that a wicked blow was dealt to good citizenship when the old fashioned Fourth of July was ta ken away from our boys and girls, and nothing comparable put in Its Place. ' It was a theft from childhood of enthusiastic romance that led smoothly and naturally into love of their country and its history and Into a type of ardent aouu Amer icanism that Is becoming too scarce over our land. We took away our children's participation In the Fourth of July: stripped it of the part they could understand and enjoy. And they are growing up to ignore the day, We made the most Important an niversary in American history Just another red date on the calendar; just another day when the banks and freight houses don't open. Please. God. save the Fourth or juiyi BOYLE life as a collector Is that he once had one of these rifles himself, but 15 vear aro mM it far tin before its vslue and rarity were juiuwn. Bargains the beginning collector should beware of, he said, are "the pair ot pistols supposedly used in the Hamilton-Burr duel, and guns that once belonged to Jesse James or Wild Bill Hickock. "If ' all the guns supposed to have been owned by Jesse James were, genuine, he hsd an arsenal bigger than the entire U. 8. cav alry." . , Amber doubts the ' legendary tales of the shooting skill of some of the old time Western guntlght ers, such aa Hickock and Billy The Kid. "As a matter of fact, they didn't have to be a particularly good shot." he said, "because their tar get was man-size, and usually not more than IS to 30 feet away. "I doubt if any of the oldtlme gunmen could equal Ed McOtv ern, who used to be a peace offi cer In Montana. "McOivern could toss dimes In the air, draw his gun and hit them (00 times in a row. Speed? He could draw his gun and put five bullets in a playing card at 16 feet in three-fifths of a second. "Of course, there's a big dif ference In shooting at a playing card and at a man with a gun firing back at you." Amber estimates there are more than SO million firearms of all kinds In America, and says that, contrary to the general belief, comparatively few of the thou sands of guns brought home by ex-servicemen have been used in holdups. "Kids would be better off and there would be fewer acci dents," he said, "If they were taught to use firearms properly. They probably will have to use guns some time In life anyway, and they ought to know the right way. "In the last few years the Na tional Rifle Assn., which has 360, 000 members, has trained a mil lion teen-agera in the use of a rifle and never had a single accident." : P.M.

Rob ert Oppenhelmer will bear until he die as II he wore It as a mark on Ms forehead the gov ernment verdict that he Is a secur ity risk who cannot be trusted with his - country's secrets. An ordinary man, brushed aside like this, might disappear Into oo- scurlty. The 60-yonr-old Oppen helmer never can. He is a genius. He Is among the top live or six theoretical physicists ol the world. He directed the making of a war time A-bomb. He Is head of the Institute tor Advanced Study at Princeton, N.J. He ' Is known to scientists everywhere. Working with them and exchanging Ideas with them has been his life. He can hardly begin another. It was almost 13 months ago July 7. 1953 that Lewis L. Strauss. who only three days before had become chairman of the Atomic Energy Commission (AEC). or dered a re-examlnatlon to deter mine - whether the government should continue to trust Oppen- neimsr with some of Its most vital secrets. In December Strausa Informed Oppenhelmer the reply was no. It wasn't final, oppenhelmer could ask, and did, lor a hearing before a special board set up by the AEC. Oppenhelmer testified as did dozens of others. Most of the wit nesses said he was trustworthy. A few said he wasn't. The board decided he was loyal but not a man to be trusted with secrets and reviewed his story. He had been a fellow traveler He had Communist friends. He at tended meetings with them. He was engaged to one woman who was a Communist and married another who had been. His brother sno sister-in-law were Communists for a time. All that was before he went to work on the atomic bomb. After that one of his old friends, Haakon Chevalier, tried to up him lor In formation for the Communists and was turned down. Oppenhelmer de layed telling the government about this, then lied about It, later told the truth. He continued his friend ship with Chevalier, visited with him as late aa last December. Oppenhelmer appealed to the full live-man AEC. Yesterday II upheld the previous verdict: he was a security risk. The vote was 4-1. The one commissioner who did not consider Oppenhelmer a security risk was Dr. Henry D. Smyth. The majority of the AEC did not suggest, and there was no evidence ot any kind to show it, that Oppen helmer ever gave any government secrets away. Smyth stressed this: ' . . . The most Important evidence In this regard Is the tact that there la no indication in the entire record that Dr. Oppenhelmer has ever di vulged any secret information." This, among other reasons given by Smyth as a defense for Oppen helmer, may trouble many fair- minded men who read the rec ord and ask themselves what they would have done If they had been sitting in Judgment on Oppen helmer. Yet this particular point hardly bears examination In this case. If there was any evidence that Op penhelmer had given away secrets there would havebeen no doubt he was a security risk and he wouldn't be a problem tor the AEC then. His case would be before a grand Jury. The majority of the commission decided Oppenhelmer was a se curity risk because of "defects In his character" thev pointed to his lying and to his association with communists, not before he was entrusted with secrets, but aft erwards. If the long opinion of the ma jority could be summed un In a few sentences, this would be It: When a man Is entrusted with high secrets, which may affect the nation's welfare, he Is given high responsibility, He is considered ca pable of living ud to that resnon. slblllty or he wouldn't be given tne secrets. There are clear rules laid down by which his responsibility, or sense of responsibility, can be judged. Association with Commu. mats makes his sense of repon- BioiiHy suspect, Tne aeo ne id on- penhelmer violated the rules and defaulted on his responsibility.
