The architects of bureaucracy

drum of fear of famine that only
the bencflcient control of a re
source by the hand of bureaucracy
can avert.

over the off-shore oil problem,
which fundamentally was not a
problem of conseivation but wheth
er the army of bureaucracy could
control lor Its own purposes in
advancing its banner by the con
trol of the profits.

gain a clear picture of the situa
tion unclouded by the smoke of
the fires of political ambition?

and technology are far ahead of

It is true that we must prudently
use the oil we have, and may dis
cover, the days of wasteful ex
travagance as was practiced by

Russia Asks Atom

The Soviet Union is asking the
United States to throw open the

The Russians oppose a provision
in the draft statute for the agency
that would limit the membership
to the 84 nations in the U. N. and
its specialized agencies. That
would keep Red China out.
The United Slates and seven
other Western atomic powers sub

He sugeested that foresters build
roads well away from stream beds,
that skid trails and other senrs be
covered with light slash to prevent

be reforested quickly.

Forks burn.
He said 655 million board feet
of timber was affected in the 1951
fire, but that all but 30 million
board feet have been salvaged. He
said the rough terrain made road
construction cost about $25,000 a
mile, but more than 100 miles of
road were built into the burned
area to speed the salvage.

The Doctor Says
By EDWIN P. JORDAN, M.D.
"Our Iirst baby," writes Mrs
S., "was born wiih a cleit palate

The defect known as cleft pal
ate cannot be discussed without
mentioning harelip which almost
always accompanies it. A cleft
palate Involves a split in the bone
and sott tissues at the center of
Ihe roof of the mouth. The fail
ure of the bone and soft tissues
to grow together occurs before
birth and is therefore present
when the child is born.
In answer to Mrs. S.'s first ques
tion it is my understanding that it
has not ben settled yet whether
the cause of harelip or cleft pal
ate is the result of some inherited
factor or something else.
Possibly it may be due to some
injury during the growth period
before birth; also German mea

Tlie presence of a cleft palate

but also intereferes with the pro

lore, results in serious speech diffi

first step is to decide what opera

age it should be started. There
are some difiorences of opinion as
to the best age.
All of Ihe operations are some-
what- alike- since they involve
bringing the separated bones to
gether. Dental work is also needed.
When harelip is present, the soft
tissues overlying the bone includ
ing the Hp have to be cut carefully
arid sewn together in a way which
will bring good function and leave
as inconspicuous a scar s possi
ble. In answer to Mrs. S.'s second
question, a successful operation for
cleft palate and harelip can great

the appearance.
A boy who has had a success

The improvement in the treat
ment of cleft palate and harelip
is owed to the ingenuity and per

ties which might remain after the
operation to correct these defects.
