day of rejoicing for the labor groups or for those who are interested in good labor conditions throughout the nation. I've had a letter from a man who poses question In ethics which he wishes answered in my column. He does not wish his name used. He says: "Is Mrs. Roosevelt it not a fact that our economic society is based on a principle of a minute division of labor, whereby, by means of money, the goods and services not produced by the individual himself are provided for him in exchange by other specialists? "Therefore, is it not a fact that when a person strikes, he in effect refuses his half of the bargain, though expecting to receive goods and services produced by others? "Assuming that government has provided protection to employes through fair labor practices, minimum wages, conciliation services, is it not therefore an unethical act against the public (his fellow workers) to stop production of vitally necessary goods and services? Fundamental Right Organized labor should, of course, take advantage of all opportunity provided by the Government for conciliation.

But back in the days of Abraham Lincoln the right not to work, as a weapon against unfair practices, was considered an inalienable right. And even though, through organization, labor today is stronger than it used to be, it is no stronger than organized capital. A strike is still the one weapon of last resort to correct injustices when injustices cannot be corrected or are not corrected in any other way. From my point of view, the Taft- Hartley Act will not lessen strikes but will increase them. I believe that, with increased power, organized labor has an in creased responsibility and should therefore examine its procedures very carefully and apply remedies where necessary.

But I also think that laws of this kind should be examined critically, particularly at a time when prejudice and fears are running high. We may wake up to find that, in trying to remedy certain wrongs, we have shorn ourselves of certain precious freedoms, Embittering Experience My correspondent had a very difficult experience. During the telephone strike, he was unable to get a doctor or an ambulance when his wife suffered an accident. He had to flag passing autos to get them to carry messages for him. I thought that some arrangements had been made whereby emergency calls of this kind were put through.

I had understood that executives stayed on the job to meet such situations as this. It has taken long years for labor to reach a point where its rights are recognized. During part of that time, abuses on the side of the employer were unchecked. To get an even balance and equal justice for all concerned is never easy, but should be our aim in whatever we do at the present time. Ruhr Miners Hit Record BERLIN, Sept.

1 (UP) Coal production in the German Ruhr has reached a new high for the occupation and for the first time in five months it has been possible to authorize the full bread ration. Gen. Lucius D. Clay, the American military governor, announced this in his semi-monthly report to the War Department. "The improvement is due to the accelerated arrival of bread grains and flour, which during the last three months has been exceedingly heavy," the general 6aid.

The cost was nearly 33 million dollars in the firrt half of August alone. This expense is split equally between American and British taxpayers. Coal production in the Ruhr was around 240,000 tons a day. Gen. Clay "reported, attributing the in crease to "the newly instituted incentive plan." Under this plan.

German miners get food bonuses for digging a certain amount of coal. War Sequel. Old Shell Kills Worker In London LONDON. Sept. 1 (UP) An an ti-aircraft shell left from the war exploded today while workmen were burning rubbish at a bombed-out building site.

Preoccupation With Heredity Preoccupation with heredity, as the main cause of mental defectiveness has retarded progress in the field. Discovery that parents of different RH groups can create blood disturbances which hurt their offspring has pointed the way to prevention and proper treatment of one form and it is possible that similar developments will be made to other varieties. If a state has an effective crippled child program, every crippled child will be registered with the division.

Parents, try to suppress the fact that they have a malformed child because of their feeling of guilt. But, in most instances, the difficulty did not develop because they failed to transmit good heredity to their child. Accidental Crippling Many children are crippled today as a result of accidents which I are largely preventable. Osteomye litis (bone infection) has become less common as a result of advances In surgery and the use of sulfa drugs and penicillin. A great deal of crippling in childhood Is caused by failure of a part of the body to develop prop erly.

It may affect a bone or jomt and cause shortening of the af fected part with inability to get around. Wearing casts and braces, and operations while the child is young, will yield a rich return in later life. QUESTION: Is it possible to spread malaria by transfusion? ANSWER: Yes, even though the donor had the disease several years before. Transfusion malaria is mild, however, easy to treat, and does not relapse. Rankin Target Of Negro Petition Sept.

1 (TJP)- The National Negro Council today opened a drive to get one million signatures on a petition to oust Rep. John E. Rankin, Mississippi Democrat, from Congress and to ob tain Federal anti-lynching legisla tion. First name on the petition displayed by Council Director Edgar G. Brown wa3 that of Joe Louis, world heavyweight boxing cham pion.

Mr. Brown said the council is seeking to oust Mr. Rankin on the ground that he was unconstitution ally elected because "Negroes in his district were prevented from voting Mr. Rankin recently announced his candidacy for the Senate seat of the late Senator Theodore G. Bilbo.

Mr. Brown 6aid the petition, when filled, would go to President Tru man, House Speaker Joseph Martin, and Senator Robert A. Taft, GOP policy chief if! the Senate. The petition will also be used, he said, to support a move to cut down the Southern delegation in Congress. He noted that several states count on Negroes to gain their present representation while NeeToes are not actually allowed to vote.

Mr. Brown suggested that as one way to end lynchings, counties and towns where the lynchings occur be fined $25,000.

By digging into the floors of caves in France, Spain and elsewhere, scientists have located skeletons of people, also stone points which were used for spears and arrows. Other relics of Stone Age people also have been found. We may ask, "Why did Stone Age people go into caves to live?" The most likely reason is that the climate of Europe grew colder when a great ice sheet, or glacier, spread down from northern Europe. Outdoor sleeping then must have been far too cold human beings.

Good proofs have been found that lions and bears lived in caves of Europe before the start of the Stone Age. Europe still has bears, but has lost all of its wild lions. The skeletons of a great number of "cave bears" and "cave lions" have been dug up in Europe.
