BILLBOARD
On several occasions in the past I
have had reason to quarrel with
both the driving public and the city
officials who make and enforce the
traffic laws.
Today I feel In the mood to tack
le an entirely separate case ihat
aflects both. The P and T. Known
as the parker and talker. He's the
guy, or girl, who sees a friend on
the sidewalk and promptly brakes
bis car to a stop, blasts his horn,
motions his pal over and Indulges
in a long conversation, carried on
over an obligato of protesting horns
in the rear.
This menace Is one that should
be put in the same category with
the bottle smasher. Nothing is
more annoying than to be tooling
down the street, minding your own
business and trying to make an
appointment on time and then
have one of these gabby street
hogs hold a convention in the mid
die of the street.
Not only does he hold you up, he
holds up everyone on the street.
And Just to make it worse they are
all fresh air fiends. They either roll
down the right hand window and
lean across the seat to shout out
the window, killing their motor in
the process, or they open the left
hand door, stand on the running
board (it the car has one, the
street it It doesn't) and talk over
the roof of the car. j
How they can be so deaf to the i
horns and still hear what their
companion Is saying is beyond me.
Or maybe they don't worry. Maybe
they are all deaf and read lips.
I don't suppose it will be acted
on, but I'm not entirely sure that
breaking out the public stocks
again wouldn't be a pretty good
Idea. Oflenders In the class of bot
tle smashers, street talkers and
road hogs aren't going to be cured
ALONG NATURE'S TRAIL
by KEN McLEOD
The Census Bureau' has esti
mated that the national population
of our country will reach 206,
000,000 peoplo by 1076. Tills as
sumption is based upon the prem
ise that present birth rates will
gradually decline and reach the
prewar level by 11)75. Naturally,
such a point of view must adopt
the assumption there will be no
man created catastrophe like
some vision, a predicted b 1 g
"Oust" that would end all "busts,"
or a World War HI.
Sucli an increase in population
growth would become a 36 per
cent increase over the 1050 census
figure. Agricultural economists
look at this souring figure and tell
i: that In their opinion, alter al
' lowing for the ago composition of
ine population and making the as
sumption that the American people
will financially be able to continue
the advancement of the general
standards of living the over-all
national increase in lite demand
lor food is likely to be 50 per cent
greater in 1975 than the demand In
1050.
I'pon tills single observation we
find the Bureau of Reclamation
and local boomers beating the drum
for "pork barrel" developments
that are alleged as being needed
"now" to xcep the United States
from starving to death. Such prop
aganda keeps drumming on and
on with monotonus repetition in
spite of tne fact that we face
troublesome surpluses of certain
farm commodities. A great many
economists, whose Jobs are not
lied ir, with ability to create poli
tical Jack-pots, are not particular
ly exclled by the picture now pre
dicted for the comparatively im
mediate future. In this picture they
do not vision national starvation
but merely predict that the long
term demand outlook for many ag
ricultural products will generally
by very strong. ,
Nationally we have lived from
approximately the same total acre
age of cropland since 1910. Tills . is
one basic factor a great many
land boom economists preier to Ig
nore. During this 40 year period It
must be admitted a considerable
amount of new land was brought
under cultivation which merely
rlfset the land lost by unwise ex
ploitation must we continue to '
develop new land and Ignore the
losses to erosion and poor land '
management? 10 make such an
admission merely would emphasize
our national negligence and turn
the spot light of public r7c upon
a very important problem It
would be found far less expensive
to the public purse to conserve
ihe land we now have and to pro
tect It from the ravages of nam.-.
l forces than to spend uncounted
billions to ptovide new lands to
replace those we so cheerfully
neglect.
The fact that e could have
four decades of tremeuduous pop
ulation expansion on the same to
tal acreage of cropland and end
with troublesome problems of over
production is one of the most sig
nificant factors of our times. We
are now expected to believe that the
next two decades will change all
this and those two famous charac
ters of the Four Hoisemen"

getting ready to greet us on our
doorstep with outstretched arms.

WASHINGTON uP The Senate,
proud of its rule which lets a mem
ber talk till he's speechless, is
working the rule overtime. It has
been talking steadily, all day and
all -night, around the clock, since
Wednesday morning on atomic, en
ergy. It probably will still be talk
ing on this next week.
Sen. Knowland of California, Sen
ate Republican leader, made up his
mind he'd get action on the admin
istration's bill to make some major
changes in the atomic energy law
if he had Ho keep the 86 senators.
Including himself, in steady session
to the point of exhaustion.
His challenge was taken up by
a number of Democrats and Sen.
Morse, Oregon Independent, who
don't like the changes and prob
ably wanted to show him they
couldn't be pushed. They've done
most of the talking. And they've
had plenty of excuses for talking.
ine atomic energy act, passed in
1940, is the basic law on the de
velopment and control of atomic
power for both military and peace
ful uses. That act contains 21 sec
tions. The bill now before the Sen
ate would make changes in all 21
sections.
And while one senator might be
willing to buy one change, but not
another, and since the Democrats
as a group don't like the bill as a
whole, they're having a field day
arguing against the bill, piece by
piece.
Although Knowland is deter
mined he'll keep the Senate in ses
sion until the bill is settled, one
way or the other, and he hopes it
will be settled In favor of the ad
ministration, he's up a bit of a tree.
He had hoped the Senate could
wind up its year's work by the end
of July. In fact, he had planned
on it.
His schedule is getting booted
out the window. And that Isn't all.
The House was to begin debate on
the same bill on its side of the
Capitol today. Since there is a
limit on debale in the House, that
chamber should make up Its mind,
for or against, pretty fast.
But if it passes the bill and the
Senate doesn't, there won't be any
changes in the 1946 law. If House
and Senate both pass, and changes
voted into the bill in both cham
bers are not identical, then thev'll
have to set up a Joint committee
to Iron out the differences.
And when that's done, if it can be

Now that the bright moon Is
gone from the early evening sky
and does not rise until around
midnight, all lovers of the hea
vens have an opportunity to see
the celestial lights at their best, so
thickly set in the universal im
mensities. Look early lor Venus, still Ror
geous in the western twilight. This
splendid planet is above the hor
izon for two hours after sunset.
Mars with his fierce and fiery red
ness is still a brilliant object low
In the south although he has faded
somewhat from his maximum bril
liance at the first of the month.
The Perseld meteors, which
reach their maximum abundance
around August -11, are beginning
to appear as occasional little lights
dashing across the stars.
At Its best now and in August
when the moon is absent is that
mysterious and faint white band
across the heavens known as the
Milky Way. Two hours or more

viewing this so-called Galaxy, for
then it extends entirely across the
sky from the stars of Perseus low
in the north-northeast to Sagittar
ius and Scorpius in the deep south.
Far from uniiorm throughout, it
breaks into many irregularities of
nebulous light ot vaiylns width and
brightness. Overhead it divides
into two distinct branches, which
continue side by side toward the
south.
In classical mythology this sky
band was considered by some as
the dust stirred ud by the speedy
feet of Perseus as he rushed to
rescue the chained Andromeda. To
others, it was a highway to heav

i The atomic energy act of 1946
i was passed only shortly ufter Con-
I gross and the people had discover
j ed they had a strange, new and
j startling possession that could
i work for the good of mankind in
i medicine and power and for his
destruction with the bomb. The
United States, at the time, had a
monopoly of atomic weapons.
The law Was built around that
monopoly: To guard the secrets
of the bomb and atomic energy.
Even friendly nations, under the
law, could not be let in on those
secrets. And the government was
given a monopoly on developing
atomic power.
In the eight years since 1946
there have been great changes:
Russia developed the bomb on its
own. Some of the Allied developed
atomic energy. There were scien
tific and technical advances. So
the Joint Committee on Atomic
Energy made up of House and
Senate Democrata and Republica
finally produced the bill now be
fore the Senate to make changes
in the 1946 law. Here are some of
the major ones:
1. Let the President share In
formation, now secret, with Allied
nations on nuclear weapons and
their use In future defense or pos
sible wars.
2. Let the President disclose
peaceful atomic Information. This
would Include the Russians. The
President suggested international
sharing of peaceful atomic Infor
mation last year.
3. Loosen up on the present tight
security regulations on atomic in
formation so industry and public
and private businesses and agen
cies can do research and get into
expected commercial development,
4. Designate the chairman of the
five-man Atomic Energy Commis
sionnow Lewis Strauss as its
' official spokesman."
5. Let the AEC Issue licenses
and patents In the field of nuclear
facilities and developments.
The Democrats have been par
ticularly banging away at Nos. 3,
4 and 5. They've expressed suspi
cion that a few big private con
cerns could get a monopoly hold in
a field which has cost the govern
ment billions of dollars to develop
so far.

thought it was a zone of stars par
tially obscured by the earth's sha
dow; another, that stars here were
so crowded together that they il
luminated each other.
Theophrastus taught that this
band of light was a crack in the
sky due to poor Joining of the two
hemispheres at the time of crea
tion. Aristotle considered it a mass
of glowing gas. Pythagoras about
550 B.C. taught it was a vast as
semblage of very distant stars.
In A D. 1610 the Italian Galileo
found that Pythagoras over 2000
years earlier was correct. Galileo's
newly Invented "optick tube"
showed the Milky Way was actu
ally myriads of distant stars, each
so far away as to be invisible in
dividually. The galaxy completely encircles
the sky. Our star system of bil
lions of blazing suns seems to be
arranged in the shape of a disk.
Our sun and its planets are about
I half way from the disk's center to
I its edge. If wc look skyward in the
j direction of the thin part of the
! disk, we do not encounter the very
distant stars we do when looking
1 toward the fai-away edges. The ac-
emulated effect of these more dis-
lant stellar multitudes gives the
j appearance of the white band of
the Milky Way.

NEW YORK If I were a
bachelor yearning for the matri
monial yoke, I do believe I'd head
for Manhattan this weekend.
Some 2,000 business secretaries
are here fo their annual conven
tion, and I don't know where else
in America at the moment a man
could go If he Is searching for the
right girl to love, honor and dis
obey the rest of his lite.
' For the business office todav Is
the best of all training grounds
for wifehood. Any girl who can run
an office efficiently can operate
a nome at half-throttle.
As I see it. a good secretary
has about all the advantages even
the most cautious bachelor looks
for In a wife, to wit:
1. She can sew on a button.
2. She has learned to keep her
trap closed about confidential mat
ters. 3. She knows when to get a man
a cup of coffee, and when he pre
fers aspirin.
4. If she isn't a beauty, she at
least knows how to put her best
personality forward. She ls neat,
orderly and well-dressed.
6. She knows how to arrange
flowers.
6. She has learned to take dicta
tion from a boss, and therefore
a husband can at least hope she
will pay some attention to what
he says If only through force of
habit. .
1. She has the ability to budget
money and get the most out of a
small Income.
ft. She can fill out your income
tax, and write diplomatic letters of
relusal to all the relatives who
try to borrow money from you,
9. Any girl who can change a
typewriter ribbon successfully
probably can learn In a few
months to fix your television set.
loo. The repair bills she saves will
in time pay for the cost of the
wedding and her subsequent up
keep. Every year the American girl
secretary is getting brainier, bet
ter looking and more of a matri
monial bargain.
Jerry Wald, space consultant for
the Art Metal Construction Co.,
office equipment manufacturers,
is my authority here. His Job ls to
measure offices for secretaries
(and secretaries for officesl, and
after, a national survey of the field
he came up with this observa
tion: "The average secretary today
can accomplish more work In two
hours than one in the Gibson girl
generation could in an entire day.
Physically, she is smaller in size,
and In the office occupies one
third the amount of space given
her sister of 20 years ago."
A thrifty bachelor can see the
obvious advantages here: If he
married one of -the new pony
model secretaries she will eat less
food and fit in a smaller apart
ment than say a buxom lady
welghtlifter or the center on an
all-girl basketball team.
And, of course, if he wants to
keep his bride on the Job while
he himself stays home and pursues
his hobbies, he won't overlook the
fact tnat secretaries have pretty
good take-home pay. although of
course they don't get what they
deserve.
"Executive secretaries have an
average salary ranging from WO a
week in Alabama," says Wald, "to
f82 In Tulsa. They average 75 in
Los Angeles and $72 in New York."
All of which boils down to the
following sensible tip to any sensi
ble bachelor:
"Don't let your boss marrv his
recretary. She's too good for'hlm.
Beat him to the punch. Marry
her yourself."
As a matter of fact. If the boss
has a particularly efficient Girl
Friday and hales the thought of
losing her, you can even use a
little polite blackmail on him by
faying:
"Look, boss, either you give me
a raise In pay or I'll marry your
secretary."

The Doctor Says
By EDWIN r. JORDAN, .
Two correspondents are appar
ently quite concerned About a
slight peculiarity which almost cer
tainly will causa no harm.
Q Pleas writ about yawn
ing. I yawn all day lone but am
not hungry or sleepy. A.V. .
What makes my n yawn so
much? He gat plenty of aleep.
He is 34 year old. Mrs. X.
A An answer to these ques
tions must ol necessity be rather
vague since yawning like alfhlng
and hlccuplng are merely chanres
In the breathing movements, th
exact significance ot which li not
clear in moat lmtancts.
Of course, most ' people yawn
when they are lacking In sleep or
are bored, but the possibility of a
mere habit muat b consider! In
those who yawn excsslvly with
out any apparent causa.
Q I hav read that a person
can never hav more than one
attack of shingles. Is this true?
Mrs, A.
A Apparently one attack of
shingles or herpes zoster usually
confers permanent resistance but,
according to the books, a second
attack is possible though unusual.
Q Please tell me if the latest
method of treating varicose veins
by painting the toes with a red
fluid is good. I cannot see how
this could help the veins. M.M.
A Neither can I. It sounds
like the method of a quack.
Q I have what is called a
calcium spur growing on my he.
Two or three doctors have told
me that an operation would not
be a success, and I do not know
what to do. C. A. M.
A These calcium deposits or
calcaneal spurs on the heel, have
been operated on but, as your doc
tors say, the results nave often
been disappointing or worse.
When they produce pain or sore
ness these spurs are certainly a
nuisance. It Is possible that a
specially constructed shoe would
be of some help.
Q For several years on of
my teeth has been in a weakened
condition, and for the past year or
more it has been throbbing at
times. Should this be considered
a matter of serious concern from
the standpoint of cancer? D. H.
A It is unlikely to result in
cancer but would certainly seem
to call for expert dental attention.
Q I hav had a debate with
a friend In regard to a blood clot
which I said was an embolism and
phlebitis which I say Is Inflamma
tion of the vein. My friend insists
that phlebitis ls a blood clot. Can
you clarify? i. M.
A An embolus is a blood clot
or other plug carried by th blood
stream from a distant blood ves
sel and forced into a smaller one,
thus causing obstruction of the
circulation at that point. Phlebitis
is the inflammation of a vein often
accompanied by the formation of
a blood clot at the point where th
vein ls Inflamed. The nam for a
blood clot itself ls thrombus.
Telling the Editor
POVERTY
A few weeks ago I witnessed
a scene here In. our city that I
would never believed had I not
seen it myself. I saw an aged man
eating food out of a garbage can
In an alley behind one of our cof
fee shops.
What a pity, ,that in this land
of plenty of ours that such things
happen.
Oh, I know some will say God
give them two hands to work
with so let them work. To this I
will say if God also gkve them
the right to live to be old is this a
crime? All one has to do here
lately is to turn on our radio and
hear plea again and again for
food parcels for Korea and India
and Greece. They are starving and
cold, well God give them two
hands also to work with, would
be nice for them to work again,
too. Charity should begin at home.
Here we are sending thousands ot
dollars worth of food and cloth.
Ing to foreign nations, to say noth
ing of lending billions of dollars
yet right her in our country
conditions are as bad or worse,
and' what is done about it? Sure
some organization may now and
then donate some articles of cloth
ing to some poor wretched soul and
they feel they have dons some
thing great.
Just wonder if these persons at
tending a IS a plate banquet ever
thinks how it would be if they
had to salvage what few bites of
food they could find from a gar
bage can: you can bet they never
think about who might b hungry
and thru no fault of their own. 1

I would start a soup kitchen it
nothing else and would see that

Pentagon Rule
Draws Blast
WASHINGTON W An angry
Sen. McCarthy (R-Wis) said today
he will no longer ask the Pentagon
to okay any of his aides for ac
cess to secret Information.
McCarthy's declaration came on
the heels of a new Defense De
partment refusal to clear Thomas
W, LaVenla, a McCarthy appointee
on the Senate Investigations sub
committee staff, for access to clas
sified documents, or to explain its
reasons for withholding clearance.
' And LaVenla, telling his side of
the story to his Senate bosses, re
ported he believes his Pentagon
turndown stems from FBI reports
about a Secret Service role he
played in 1943 in investigating an
alleged plot ' against President
Franklin D. Roosevelt. He thinks
h performed a playboy role so
well it was misunderstood by In

British Beer
Drinking Lowers
LONDON Ml In Britain beer
drinking is a national pastime
like cricket and betting on soccer
pools but the number of drinkers
is on the decline.
The British treasury's "Bulletin
for Industry," says the consump
tion of beer dropped 8 per cent
while the eating of food went up
sharply. With the menfolk show
ing up less at the neighborhood
saloon the womenfolk were appear
ing more frequently at the grocery
store. Food consumption rose by
I. 5 per cent.
Whisky sales are down to half
what they were before World War
II. Wine is two-thirds what it was
in 1939. But the traffic in gin is
about double.
Tnere are all sorts of explana
tions for the drop in beer. For
one thing, there are more con
sumer items for sale in shops and
the family money is going for them
instead of in driblets at the bar.
