Why, do you know what he yelled to me out through the door as I was leaving? I'll tell you: I Jiggers said a ward big-wig of his own political party once took a dislike for hira. It took this chap a year to get his revenge, Jiggers explained, but he got in his licks in the form of a demotion.

Jiggers the dislike stemmed from the time be found It necessary to subdue the man in question when the latter insisted on interfering and becoming a bother as Jiggers and his squad were taking a couple of automobile thieves into custody. Jiggers said he not only subdued the fellow but he even took him into custody, hauled him down to police headquarters and preferred charges against him. Patrol Wagon Best Job The Democratic police chief told Jiggers, "They're after I'll give you a better job." And he did. He put Jiggers on the patrol wagon. "And it was the best job I ever had as far as the work was concerned," Jiggers added.

Jiggers is an avid hunter and fisherman, and it was a sad blow when the family physician first told him he could do no more hunting. When he regained consciousness after an operation he thought he saw quail, rabbits and other game around the feet of the doctor. So he warned the physician he was going to shoot them but that he wouldn't hit him. Then, in his mind, he said, "I emptied the pump gun." But, of course, it was all an hallucination. Laughingly, Jiggers recalled the time he fired at a fleeing car in West 10th Street.

The bullet struck the pavement, ricocheted and hit the man, a then familiar police character, behind the ear. Little Injury was caused. When the case came up in court, the judge asked Jiggers, who was then a lieutenant: "Lieutenant, how come you didn't kill this fellow when you shot him in the head?" "Oh, it was just his hard head that saved him, Vour Honor," Jiggers answered. Then, on another occasion, a woman who was a frequent "visitor" to police court tried to stick Jiggers with a hat pin when he tried to take her into custody along the canal. Thereupon he slapped her, knocking her into the canal, and it was necessary, as he put it, to "fish her out." "I'm getting my new leg pretty soon, and then I'll be up and around like new." Now he gets around in a wheel chair or with crutches, and through it all, as well as through his weeks and weeks of hospitalization, his loyal wife has stood constantly at Jiggers Hudson teachers of Indiana reelected Ronald Frette, of Washington, as president at a meeting at Purdue University yesterday.

Baseball Listener As he lay on the couch in the sun parlor, talking away, he had his radio turned down low and he listened to a big league baseball broadcast.

Jiggers was always red hot baseball fan, and in that respect, we had a mutual interest. He recalled that when he went on the force in 1911, his first partner was the late Pat Roache, who later turned out to be one of the best detectives the city ever had. In those days, he said with a laugh, he was once a member of the bicycle squad, riding out of the Haughville Fire Substation for some time. Later the bike men operated from headquarters, and he had as his partner Irvin Landers. With the passing years, the bicycles were displaced by automobiles.

90.5 proof. 60s grair tutral spirits. Frankfort Distillers H.Y Once Their Hearts Were Young and Gay; Now They're Aching Under Iron Collar The Reader's Digest Told You About It! The University of Illinois Scientists Developed It! MM IT JUMMOflVOD III Reading John Gunther's latest book, "Behind the Curtain," it was hard for me to realize that the countries now writhing in the toils of Communism were the ones which had such a gay and happy time a few years ago. Gunther's description of the Hungaria in Budapest, that magnificent hotel on the Danube, as it is today, wrecked by bombs, bullets and fire, was a real wrench at the heart. There we had a lovely room, with a balcony that hung almost over the Danube, and there wasn't a time of night or day when the activity on the river wasn't a whacking good show.

We awakened every morning to the singing and shouting of the boatmpn, and went to bed every night to the strains of gypsy music. We were fortunate enough to be there during the St. Stephens Week festival when people from every province in Hungary, wearing the costumes of their section, arrived in Budapest to celebrate the birthday of their patron saint and have a good Hungarian toot for themselves. The whole city looked like backstage of a vast musical comedy, and I've never seen gayer people in my life. One thing we found out, which Hungarians seemed to know, was that the government, in an effort to popularize the wines of the country, practically ran open house in the state wine shops which could be found every few blocks.

You were perfectly welcome to walk in and taste every kind of wine for sale. I remember how Jean, dining at a sidewalk cafe, almost caused a riot by ordering cante-loupe and vanilla ice cream, and then fixing herself canteloupe a la mode. The waiter went screaming for the headwaiter to come see the crazy American woman, other diners flocked about our table, and scores of passersby came in from the street to see this unbelievable culinary concoction. Few comedians ever caused the laughter that Jean did when she actually ate that barbaric dish. Now these once carefull and happy folk are wearing an iron yoke.

It must chafe them clear down to their hearts. Gunther's description of the tragedy of Czechoslovakia turns my memory back to Prague. The Czechs of that time were even more fiercely patriotic than Americans, if that is possible, and so very proud of their new republic. We had a hotel room next to a group of opera singers from Italy. They pushed a piano out on a balcony and started entertaining the populace of Prague.

It wasn't long before half the guests in the hotel were in the singers' rooms, joining in the singing as if they, too, had sung at La Scala. This went on every night. Now, Prague Is a prison city in a half prison world. But no one can tell me that the Czecks like it any better than the Hungarians. alii IS ll HDD II DR.

WILLIAM BRADY Right Consumption of Vitamin A Often Improves Night Blindness The Ammoniated Dental Powder compounded by LEHN FINK Famous for its anti-bacterial products for 75 years and under license of the University of Illinois Foundation According to W. It. Aykroyd, M. D. of Vitamins and Other Dietary Essentials (Helne-mann Medical Books, London, there are few other remedies so rapid and reliable as vitamin A for night-blindness.

He sometimes gave Newfoundland fishermen, victims ol night-blindness, a single tablespoonful of cod-liver dil, with the gratifying result that they were able to see on the subsequent night and safely resume their fishing. Occasionally readers report similar Immediate recovery of their ability to drive against traffic glare at night when they have taken only a few doses of vitamin A in one form or anothereasiest to take is a capsule containing units of real vitamin A (obtained from fish-liver oil', not the pro-vitamin carotene of yellow and green vegetables and fruits. This pro-vitamin carotene must be transformed In the body into real vitamin and the body can transform only a part of it in any case. Formerly a good many readers assured me they experienced more "pep" every time they received a "shot" of vitamin (thiamine) but evidently the "pep" was of brief duration, for they seemed to need several "shots" a week or the medical merchant whose office nurse administered the "shots" made them think they needed them. I'm no authority about anything, but just in case anybody wants to know.

I wouldn't waste time running to the "clinic" for "shots" of vitamin Bl no matter how much I might need it, as long as I could take it by mouth and keep it down. When any vitamin or combination of vitamins is likely to do any good in any instance it is of course only because it makes up the deficiency or deficiencies in the diet supplements the nutritionally inadequate diet. This may correct or relieve the manifestations of nutritional deficiency or "malnutrition" but it will not cure anything the old manifestations or symptoms will inevitably recur if and when the individual stops taking the vitamin preparation unless he or she has enough Intelligence or common sensr to adjust the faults in his or her dally diet.

Leaves mouth cleaner, sweeter thanks to its delicate, minty flavor; Moreover Brightens teeth, too! Makes them whiter, brighter.

In every way; PEB-AMMO is the truly modern dentifrice. Try it! A 1 ftd WASHINGTON Careful reading of the Tydings bill, which passed the Senate and now Is before the House Armed Services Committee, will confirm the fact that it not only trates in the hands of a single cabinet officer tha Secretary of Defense powers that should be exercised only by the President as commander-in-chief directly, but it vest3 unprecedented influence in a single military man who, as his assistant, can thereby dominate the Army, Navy and Air Force. Without any accountability to the people, a Cabinet officer can become the military dictator of the United States. With a weak or incompetent President, a Secretary of Defense can exercise unparalleled power. The check against such a contingency Is the retention of supervisory power over their respective services by the Secretary of the Army, Secretary of the Navy and the Secretary of Air.

Each of these three or all three should have the right to go directly not only to the President, but aUo to Congress in the event that there Is a dispute about appropriations. The proposed statute, on the other hand, would be justified if It were confined solely to a system of unification on budget matters or budget controls. There is great need of such supervision and concentration in order that Congress may get a coordinated plan of pro- posed spending. Congress in the last analysis must be permitted to examine such a plan and get testimony from ach of the three armed services through their spokesmen. It may be annoying to the Secretary of Defense to have one of the three armed services speak directly to Congress, as Secretary Symington did last year, but there can be no permanent damage In giving each service the right to communicate directly with Congress.

The attempt has long been made to keep government bureaus from disagreeing with the Director of the Budget but they do, and it is essential that they be free from coercion in order that Congress, which has final control of expenditures, may make up its mind what are the facts of the case. The proposed Tydings law gives the Secretary of Defense not only powers over budgets, but vast powers over the military services. Despite the so-called language safeguards, the bill does give the Secretary of Defense the power to change missions and roles which were outlined In the Defense Act of 1947. The phrase "except as otherwise assigned" appears frequently in the measure. Likewise, Secretary Johnson himself, in testifying before the House committee, Inadvertently revealed that a single military man is going to be given a position of influence enabling him in effect to override what the Joint chiefs of staff may recommend.
