GE0RGE GRAY, Editor Valley Forge Pilgrimage If you haven't visited Valley Forge in recent months you'll be astonished at the amazing transformation taking place in this perhaps most sacred and best known of all of our historic shrines.

The change takes nothing from the park, understand, nor from the spirit of one seeking a bit of quiet communion with the past. Indeed, it adds stimulus and excitement. troops spent a dramatic winter of sacrifice in search of triumph and independence for an infant nation. Next month, some 180 years later, new, youthful troops will move in to catch something of the spirit of our heritage, something of inspiration to guarantee and protect it for the generations to come. No less than Boy Scouts will be part of National Jamboree at Valley Forge.

They will here with their leaders from every state of the Union, from every possession. They will represent the very cream of American boyhood dedicated to a basic idea of service to God, country, others and self. This great pilgrimage to one of the most precious snrines. Thus, Valley Forge is already being prepared. It represents a gigantic encampment which indeed soon it will be for boys of all races and all and from every conceivable part of America to rub shoulders with each other, with thrilling new experiences, with history itself.

It will be greatest show, greatest single organizational effort, greatest single integrated salute to values of immeasurable influence and endurance. It is entirely proper, it seems, that these 55,000 boys of Scouting should come again to Valley Forge for it is all part of the broad plan that they should know something of Philadelphia where American independence was not precisely fashioned but where it was crystallized and finalized. Needless to say this historic Eastern Pennsylvania should feel pleased and honored that it has been chosen to play host to these thousands of young men of good will coming as they will from every city, town and hamlet of America. And at Valley Forge, in July, the blending of Americas past with future should be a thoughtfully significant event for the whole country to behold. Kind to Animals I Always Ace Writer By Earl Wilson Team Breaks Up History indicates plainly that as a time in office runs on, changes in his cabinet become more and more common.

When a new president takes over, his prestige is high. His leverage upon men in almost every walk of life is great. Most of the big names he calls upon to serve him respond willingly. For a good many men who do respond, the tour of duty in government may put a kind of cap on their careers. It can mean a fresh challenge, a novelty, a chance to enlist in a cause.

To some, the lure of this new opportunity is enduring and they stay on as long as does the president who summoned them. But for others, the excitement may wane, or the strain of conflict at high policy levels grow too great, or newer, brighter opportunities beckon. Up until recently former Secretary of the Interior Douglas McKay was the biggest name lost by Prefident Eisenhower. But now he is losing his Treasury secretary, George Humphrey, the conservative rock of his cabinet, and it is rumored Secretary of Defense Charles Wilson and others may follow. view of their service naturally depends in good measure on owes .,,1 politics.

But few would deny that these men have served Mr, Eisenhower and their country faithfully. Nor can they be begrudged the chance to seek out a quieter course of life, if that is what they w-ant. Seldom are cabinet replacements quite the equal of their predecessors in stature, though now and then they may match or surpass them in ability. When this is the case, they may in time come to have as much or more influence on top policy-making as did the original cabinet officers. When the successors do meet measure as high, however, the usual effect is to confer greater influence on others, either in the cabinet or House circle, who have the advan- age of seniority in service and famil- arity with the chief personality and working ways.

Some observers say this is now happening in Mr. case. In other words, they think the departure of Humphrey and possibly others will signal a shift of influence to men on the White House staff, men of more liberal leaning than certain of the cabinet stand-outs. This judgment could be premature. But at least it can be said that the time has come to look for such shifts of weight and temper in the managing crew.

One man beaten and another severely cut. One grocery store wrecked.

Six youths arrested for assault and juvenile delinquency. The big event came when the picnic bus broke down on the way home. The underprivileged decided to acquire a little privilege. They stormed a grocery store and helped themselves to its stocks of ice cream, candy, cookies, etc. When the grocer decided this was a trifle irregular, they beat him up.

Two neighborhood lads who sought to aid him got it, too one clubbed with a bat and the other stabbed. Picnics? Nothing like them. Lots of fun. Best place to hold however, for these little hoodlums is in the jail yard. Perry read that in a script conference, laughed heartily, then said.

For instance: In Lewis County, W. state unemployment records showed 90 people out of work. Then they made a survey. It showed 1,200 adults with incomes of less than $500 a year. Because they lived on small farms they had been counted as employed.

But they all wanted jobs to earn a decent living. And in Choctaw County, it was found that a third of the county's income came from federal and state welfare money. Out of hundreds of situations like these has come an increasing awareness of the federal Rural Development Program. Its aim is to raise the standard of living in more backward communities. Mr.

Edson In Choctaw County, for example, local businessmen furnished the materials, and labor pitched in to build a factory which was leased, rent-free, to a glove manufacturer. In Monroe County, Ohio, a Planning and Improvement was formed in 1954 when it was discovered there were 4,000 people available for work. A 90-million-dollar aluminum plant was brought in to employ 2,000 of them. In Watauga County. N.C., 568 women showed up for jobs when a new clothing factory opened to employ 100.

And so it goes in 24 states as 49 pilot counties and eight trade areas of several counties each show what can be done. The Rural Development Program was launched by President Eisenhower in 1955, but in two years it has barely begun the inK In the 49 pilot counties there are 1.100 farms. Eighty-one per cent sales less than $2.500 a year. This is below the standard subsistence level. There are 4.8 million farms in the U.t>.

today. This drop of 1.2 million since the end of World War II was caused by increased commercial farm productivity. Even so, there are still 1.5 million farms with total sales of under $2.500 a year or a net income under $1.000. This does not in. elude a million and non-commercial farms.

In getting the Rural Development gram going the committee set up by the administration has offered federal assistance to state and local committees building up their backward counties. The program has had a lor budget this year. Of this, $64,000 has been for payment to the states to employ extension workers, $447.000 for soil conservation, $400,000 for research and surveys. President Eisenhower asked for a doubled budget for next year. This suggestion was turned down by the House Agriculture Appropriations Subconv mittee under Rep.

Jamie L. Whitten (D a strong believer in rigid, high price support levels. Whitten and his committee ed that funds now being used for the Rural Development and other special programs at the state level be diverted to help provide salary increases for county and home demonstration Rather than helping the poorer farmers to find new sources of off-farm income, the Whitten committee recomended that would be belter to raise the prices small farmers receive, and let them farm. Rural Development funds may be restored by the Senate. But.

as things stand now, the program faces liquidation. i Living In Brick Houses By Fred C. Othman Mr. Othman WASHINGTON. suppose you poor unfortunates who live in brick houses are safe enough, but 1 am safer still.

My house is frame, with a coat of white paint, and it has hardly any built-in radiation to soften my bones. Bricks, by comparison, are hot. Lightweight concrete is hotter still. All this is by way of saying that after a week of being scared by scientists who fear that atomic radiation will be the ruination of us all, the Congressmen investigating the called in Dr. Willard F.

Libby, the distinguished chemist and long-time member of the Atomic Energy Commission. The tall, calm, sandy-haired Dr. Libby had some calming words. He said radiation from testing atom bombs, goodness knows, was bad. but that it amounted to only a tiny fraction of the damaging rays we human race, that is) have been absorbing since the beginning of time.

extra radiation from the test fallout is a small' fraction of the natural dosage we receive from our own bodies, our surroundings, and the cosmic rays and a very small fraction of the X-ray doses taken by many he said. room will absorb from 80 to 90 roentgens of radiation a year. In a house made of brick, soak up 140 milliroentgens. If he lives in an apartment made of lightweight concrete with alum shale, absorb more than 200 milliroentgens. This: said the doctor, compares to the one to five units that float down on Americans per year from atomic tests.

He said, in fact, that wherever there's sunshine, there are cosmic rays. Wherever granite, radiation from its uranium content. He did make one exception. On the Laurentian shore in Northeast Canada, where sea water during the ages has washed the uranium from the granite pebbles, no radiation. Dr.

Libby added that he was making a sincere to learn the truth about radiation, a subject that hasn't much interested science untilt it began seeing mushrooms of atomic dust soaring into the stratosphere. He has more than 50 scientific organizations studying all aspects of the situation. Dr. Libby began discussing the milli- roentgen, which is a word meaning measurement. One millietcetera means one unit amount of energy absorbed by one unit of living tissue.

If clear, consider been going on in Sweden. Scientists there have shown, according to Dr. that in wooden houses like mine, a human in the center of the living Around the wrorld he has washtubs placed on strategic rooftops so he can measure atomic dust in the rainwater. Only place in the world, he said, where man-made radiation doesn't flutter down from above is where it never rains, and if I were a Palm Springs real estate agent, put that in my ads. Dr.

Libby said he was against war. He approved of disarmament. But so long as those Russkies continue to test atom bombs he thinks we ought to the same. He think the hazards are great from the fallout or at least not nearly so great as the dangers of all-out war. I thought he made a good case.

That is not all. enter my wooden house tonight feeling happy that it made of brick. Dr. Libby and helpers, incidentally, even now are beginning a study of bricks and their built-in radiation. Problem For Discussion By Dr.

A friend recently told me, got myself into more jobs than I can handle for the coming year simply I have the courage to say when I Most housewives suffer from the same lack of starch in the spine when it comes to saying to demands on their time and energy. Working women feel about turning down a job or an office on the grounds that they simply do not have time for it.

Yet housewives, many of whom work longer hours than a business woman, feel Miss Millett no compunction they can't plead too Everyone seems to assume that a housewife can always find time for one more job and the energy to take on one more responsibility. SPREAD THIN Because her time is supposed to be her own, she is made to feel selfish if she give unstintingly of it to every demand that comes her way. she weakens and says all when she should say and stick to it.

Crane, I was doubly interested in your discussion of and the ways to combat such strong perspiration he began at our luncheon recently. we had a tragic case in our company a few months ago. One of the stenographers had such a strong body odor that her associates didn't like to sit near her. one of them sent her an advertisement about deodorants, which had been clipped from a newspaper. ad was sent in a plain white envelope and was unsigned.

the girl took the hint and improved as regards her But she became suspicious and afterwards began to draw within her shell. would furtively look around the office to see if anybody were watching her, for she was continually trying to spy on her co-workers in order to find out who had sent her the anonymous ad. finally had a nervous breakdown and our medical department had to send her to a psychiatrist for treatment. do you believe that anonymous advertisement was to blame? One of the girls confessed to me later that she had mailed the ad, and now she feels responsible for this breakdown. What do you BE SCIENTIFIC In such cases as the one just mentioned, it is better to have the boss call in the offending person and have a little chat with him.

If the offender is a man, the boss can casually explain about the two kinds of sweat, as I described yesterday. sweat rather profusely he can add, my wife used to harp about it. she coaxed me to use some of her deodorant, and I found it worked like a charm. So I dab a little under each arm every In that casual, man-to-man fashion, the superior officer can put the idea across gracefully. If the offender is a girl, then let some female superior follow the same plan and inform her.

In some congested rooming houses, the employees get a chance to take a bath or shower every morning, for too many others are waiting for the bathroom. So a quick application of a soapy washcloth under the arms will take off the odorous perspiration. Then dab on a touch of deodorant or spray a little under the arms. ANONYMOUS LETTERS But I think there are times when anonymous letters are indicated. And get sobby about single instances like the one mentioned today.

Thousands of office workers have received anonymous ads about or halitosis and have profited thereby, without ever growing unduly suspicious or developing a nervous breakdown. So a helpful hint, even via an anonymous letter, should not be a primary cause of a warped mental outlook or a mental collapse. This girl probably suffered from a severe inferiority complex on many counts, so the item was just the straw that may have tipped the scales, tff had used the Club on her and thus had given her a friendly smile and a word of deserved some of her good points, she could have taken the anonymous tip without ill effects. So send for the booklet, enclosing a stamped return envelope, plus 20 cents. It shows the various rules for paying compliments..
