Editorials Child Killer Fire is the leading accidental killer of children. Statistics of the U. S. children's bureau show that while the battle against diseases as causes of child fatalities is being won, accidents have come to the fore. Out of 6,000 children under the age of 5 who die in home accidents annually, more than 2,000, or 33 per cent, die from burns and scalds.

Fire actually kills more children than pollo. The deadly infantile paralysis claims about 250 children under 5 annually. For every child fatally burned, many more are injured or crippled for life. More than 7,500 children crippled by burns are known to state crippled children's agencies. Nearly all of these child fatalities and injuries are the result of adult carelessness or ignorance.

A majority of these fire accidents occurred in homes and dwelling units. To prevent these tragedies and to save lives, the National Board of Fire Underwriters, which has studied records of thousands of fires, offers these suggestions to parents: 1. Never leave children unattended with sitters who are too young or are irresponsible. 2. Be sure that your sitters know how to call the fire department.

3. Keep matches, hot liquids, lighted candles and lamps out of reach of children. This is of utmost importance. 4. Don't allow children to play with bonfires or fireworks.

Fires for marshmallow and popcorn roasts should be held in fireplaces only and with adult supervision. 5. Avoid dressing your children in highly flammable clothing, such as fluffy net dresses, brushed cotton or brushed rayon suits. 6. In case of fire in your home, get your children out of the house first, then call the fire department.

Dependence Upon The Past Writers, particularly young writers, want so ardently to be original. The fact remains that there are no basic themes that have not been used for centuries. Every period throws up topics that are more or less peculiar to the time, topics that have a particular urgency at the moment. But when you boil them down to essentials, you are likely to find that at bottom they are concerned with fundamental questions that have plagued the human race since its articulate beginnings. The hardest thing in the world, for any writer, AS for any human being, is to be himself.

We are all caught in the ebb and flow of attitudes, and writers, whether he acknowledges it to himself or not, is influenced by these fluctuations to a degree which he is sometimes unwilling to admit. He is influenced, too, beyond his inclination to acknowledge, by what has been done before him, and it seems to me salutary that the debt should be openly admitted. In this connection I should like to quote again a passage from "The Ten Grandmothers," that excellent book based on the history of the Kiowa Indians, in which one of the young men reminds his friend, who has been lamenting that all the old things will be dead soon, that "You have to have new things. You have to have new things to make the old things grow. But grass grows out of the old earth.

You have to have old things for new things to have roots in. That's why some people have to keep old things going and some people have to push new things along. It's right for both of them. It's what they have to Donald Adams in The New York Times Book Review. The Office Cat "Remember what I told you last Sunday, children, that you should all try to make some one happy during the week?" asked the Sunday school teacher.

There is a great deal of talk about liquor control, but the best possible kind is individual control, keeping away from it altogether, then it does not become a problem for anyone. Fire after fire is being blamed careless smokers, who have thrown away butts. Every smoker owes it to himself and to others to be careful how he gets rid of his butt and to make sure it is out ere thrown away.

Otherwise that butt may prove as deadly as a bomb, A newlywed filling out his income tax return listed a deduc- forensic skill in -mouthed ill-manners. Diplomacy has gone by the board and in its place has come the raucous shoutings of a barroom argument. No treaty of peace ever came out of that kind of table-beating, although many wars were started by boasting and strutting. The most perfect exponent of the new method is Vishinsky, who achieved his high position in Russian affairs managing the liquidation of Stalin's political opponents, through legalized murcalled purges. prosecutor who drove the greatest heroes of the Russian revolution to make revolting confessions against themselves in the hope that by satisfying Stalin's insistence upon personal despotism without opposition, they might save their families.

It is this same Vishinsky casting aside even the semblance of public decency, rose in the United Nations forum and let loose lying attacks upon this country, its leading men, its newspapers, its people. Fortunately, he lied without glibness, he shouted without purpose, so that his intellectual destroyed him. dishonesty For instance, among the American war-mongers advocate, who. has done anything for his sole client, includes John Foster Dulles, an American devoted to peace, whose services to his country, as the saved author and manager of its apart foreign policy, Soviet Russia in those when country was literally eating our bread and using our arms of war save itself. Had the war been a campaign issue in 1944, had what was known then by specialists disclosed to the whole American people in the course of a political campaign, the crimes committed in our name, which gave Russia its opportunities dominate so much of Europe, would have been impossible, It was Dulles, as Tom will admit, who took all discussion of the Dewey war out of the 1944 campaign.

My criticism the bi-partisan policy is that it saved Soviet Russia so that such a person as Vishinsky can come to New York to insult us. The defense of that policy is that it gave this the opportunity to labor for country peace at the San Francisco Conference, at the United Nations, at the various Councils of Foreign Ministers. and When Vishinsky attacks Dulles, he bites the hand that protected his country in the hour of her greatest need-a peace-loving hand. Similarly, he attacked the "New York Herald Tribune," a newspaper that while ostensibly Republican has given Soviet Russia all the breakseven to the extent of bringing upon itself attacks by the American opponents of Soviet Russia who accuse this paper of being excessively friendly to Russia. And no one could ever suspect newsularly paper seeking a war with Soviet Russia, particof as its columns have for years been able to those who have Soviet Russia.

But that is what he has usually done to his friends, most of whom lie in traitors' graves, put there by the ruthlessness of a police state whose prosecutor It is he was. a lesson for all those in this country who continue blindly and wishfully to believe that sible to it is posthat continue to do business with a government has made crass boorishness an ideal of life.

It amounts to a complete repudiation of the original Truman doctrine. Whereas that scheme tended to throw responsibility and expense for the anti-Communist crusade on the United States, leaving Uncle Sam exposed on a lonely limb, the first and second "Marshall Plans" contemplate the formation of a closely- alliance of more than thirty European and South American nations. This swift shift in strategy was forced upon the administration by even sympathetic nations' cold reception of the Truman doctrine, as hurriedly formulated and enunciated in his March mesage asking congressional aproval of the $400,000,000 required to bolster Greece and Turkey against Communist inroads. The principal European nations, as well as the smaller ones, informed Washington that they feared they might become sideline victims in any clash between the United States and Russia, whether it be a military or only an economic encounter. They insisted on greater emphasis on a pooling of resources on both sides of the water, with more thought and study of the question of permanent, long-range recovery than for immediate resistance in I -By Ray Tucker Moscow.

Now, should the proposal for waging a continuous offensive against Russia in the general assembly be adopted over Kremlin protests, Moscow will be even more isolated than she is now. That is the basic objective of all these Truman-Marshall thrusts. Responding squeals from Messrs. Molotov, Gromyko and Vishinsky, as well as Moscow's desperate attempts to break through into Italy, Austria, Greece, Korea and Iran, convince the White House that its new strategy has hurt the Soviet.

French and Italian governments have mies" out without toppling, as yet. Attempts to weaken the Paris and Rome ministries by strikes in key industries promise to end in another setback for the leftist elements. Russia has been steadily outvoted in the general assembly. Such satellites as Poland, Czechoslovakia Yugoslavia gaze wistfully at the Paris economic conference which Stalin would not let them attend.

They appear to prefer American grain, textiles and machiner to the Kremlin's empty ideological promises.

That line, "your fast will give you strength," comforted her. She went into the church, candle, said a prayer, then went and had dinner--fried potatoes and sliced tomatoes.

In the judges' box that night I felt that Miss Omaha (Madalyn King) had about clinched the talent prize, after a slick tap dance. Then--very thin in her evening -came Elaine. She threw back her head and sang golden music. The audience, completely captured, gave her a thunderstorm of applause. She won the Talent Preliminary with miles to spare.

She began crying when they called her to get her cup. Strangely, the other girls, the judges' wives, hundreds of women in the audience, and even men, cried with this slender girl. I think the memory of that touched off the weeping at breakfast. Well Saturday night came the finals. Slowly, the girls with only beautiful bodies or beautiful faces were eliminated.
