Last winter Dan and Alice seemed in complete accord on an amicable sepa ration and divorce which would have allowed her a generous financial settlement, with Alice picking up a quickie decree in Mexico. But for some strange reason some said homesickness, others said she questioned the validity of the Juarez divorce Alice flew back to New York just 24 hours before she was to receive her walking-on-air papers.

They're just not catering to newsmen at the Hotel and Restaurant Employes and Bartenders International Union headquarters in Cincinnati these days although this ninth largest union in the land is about to be rocked by a chain reaction of multi-million dollar scandals. The rope is up at the door or rather at the switchboard. This caller was told that the union's president, Ed Miller, is "somewhere in Arkansas." A phone conversation with another top official was monitored by a mysterious voice which announced that "you've just been hooked in on a conference call." Just who Big Brother is out there, I don't know. But what worries him is as obvious as a dime tip. The Senate's wispish crusader, Bob Kennedy, is about to link sections of the union with the Mafia Grand Council, the Capone syndicate, interlocking gambling networks and some really major underworld operations in the entertainment field which will rock and roll the country.

Just where-the McClellan Committee will start is their secret. But they could well begin in 1939 when Chicago restaurant and night club owners were just a bit weary of beatings, sluggings, bombings and just old-fashioned strikes meaning violence, stench bombs and window smashing. The Chicago Restaurant Association then was subtly informed that it could suddenly enjoy unnatural quiet if it hired one Abe Teitelbaum to handle its "labor relations." For such counsel, lawyer Teitelbaum wanted only $125,000 a year, a new type pre Your Health By Edwin Jordan M.D. I have always believed, and still, do, that rheumatic fever is the most important form of "rheumatic disease" in children. Rheumatic fever has been discussed in this column before and will be again.

Aside from the acute effects of the disease, its tendency to damage the heart certainly makes it extremely important. Recently, however, I have seen a statement from the Arthritis and Rheumatism Foundation to the effect that there are about as many children with rheumatoid arthritis (another form of rheumatic disease, usually classified as the most important form of arthritis) as there is of rheumatic fever. It is claimed that there are about 250,000 children in the United States who suffer with this disease. Furthermore, in children it is often mistaken in its early stages for rheumatic fever, for tuberculosis of the joints and for a number of other conditions. Probablv juvenile rheumatoid arthritis is only just beginning to receive the attention it deserves.

The symptons and outlook vary somewhat from rheumatoid arthritis in adults. For example, there appears to be a greater tendency for it in children to attack the seine. On the other hand, juvenile rheumatoid arthritis, like rheumatoid arthritis in adults, is more frequent in girls than in boys. This is rather curious, since when there is a sex difference in susceptibility to disease, one would exnect it to be related to the activity of the sex glands. In children these are relatively inactive.

In one group of 110 children with rheumatoid arthritis, the disease first appeared before the age of six in more than half. In more than half of them it started first in a single joint. This fact is undoubtedly at least partly responsible for many delays in diagnosis. Another interesting observation on the 110 patients was that the joint most freauently involved was the knee, followed by the ankle and then one of the finder joints nearest the wrist. The time which elapsed between the onset in the first joint and the occurrence of new sisns of rheu Your Career By Anne Heywood Holidays mean different things to different people, but to many of my reader, holiday are things that start them thinking about how to make money giving parties.

"I love children," one reader writes, "and I'd love to give parties for them. I could use the extra money and I know I could give good parties. I do have a good deal of imagination, and I know that is often lacking. "My grandchildren have been to lev-eral birthday parties with Fourth-of-July themes this week, but they weren't really very interesting. "I keep thinking of ways to improve children's parties and make them much more exciting, but I'm at a loss as to how to begin.

"Have you some suggestions?" First, you have to survey your communities, its habits and needs. If there are many children in lower income families, chances are you can't make a success of this venture. Paying for outside help in giving children's parties is pretty much of a luxury. If you find that there is a large enough potential market, the next thing to consider is your own time and the availability of friends who could, in a pinch and on a temporary basis, help you. In the party-giving field, it's feast or famine.

Birthdays are pretty regularly spread around the year, but special parties come in flocks. Fourteen people are apt to want Halloween parties or Valentine parties, all on the same day; then you'll go weeks with nary a one! You have to be sure you're good at arranging time, preparing in advance all possible details and getting help at peak periods. Third, be sure you are a good purchaser. A penny less on paper favors may make a difference between profit and loss. Study a good book on purchasing and be very careful to be as prudent as you possibly can.

Fourth, merchandise your service thoroughly. Tell your minister about it, the teach- ers at school, the members of the women's clubs and PTAs. Have attractive cards printed and try to take a small advertisement regularly in your local paper. Fifth, begin in a small way. It's easy The Washington Scene All or Nothing Men of good will everywhere on earth are deeply troubled at the mounting evidence that the Soviet Union has returned to the iron-fisted policies of Joseph Stalin.

The Kremlin is both talking tougher and acting tougher. In executing Imre Nagy and other Hungarians, Nikita Khrushchev for the first time in his long climb to power crossed the "blood line." Heretofore he has avoided that tried and true Stalinist technique of enforcement. Russia has taken the cloak from its coarse gangsterism and allowed its well-coached bullies to attack or demonstrate before western embassies in "retaliation" for spontaneous reactions in other countries. It has thrown out stern threats in the Lebanon crisis, and warned Tito and any potential imitators that they who deviate from the Kremlin's line tread a perilous path. It has threatened to pull out of nuclear test ban talks planned for Geneva.

In every medium, on almost every issue, Moscow shows its fist. Its smile, welcomed a few years back as a thaw is greeted in the Arctic, has faded. Why has this change come about? Speculation ranges widely. Khrushchev, say some, is acting to consolidate his power. Others say he prefers a softer line but is a virtual captive of tougher men and must act in response to their wish or go down.

Still others argue that both Russia and China, without for an instant yielding their dreams of world conquest, may have for a time genuinely embraced a softer policy toward the West and within their own orbits. But they have learned, it is contended, that a little softness is a bad thing for totalitarian dictatorship. Freedom is a contagion which spreads quickly. Given tolerance, it will in time undermine the ruler's fortress. Mao in China may have realized this sooner than Khrushchev.

No matter, for today both have cut away the softness and stand before the world hard and unyielding. If this is a valid interpretation of the ominous turn in Moscow and Peiping, it could stand as sobering proof of an idea long held by many free men: Ruthless suppression is inherent in totalitarian dictatorship, whatever its name. The dictator can permit no competitor, no rival idea, no offshoot, no thin ties of allegiance. His rule must be absolute and all-embracing or in the end it will be nothing. This could be the deepest and most shattering truth underlying the change in the Kremlin.

If it is, there is no cheer for any free man in knowing it. Tarnished Buttons All the nation and maybe all the world knows the slogan 'New York's finest," meaning its 20-odd thousand policemen. But right now the shine is off the buttons. Three policemen are charged with trying to extort $1,500 from a narcotic's suspect, another is accused of assault and burglary. On top of that, a dozen guns and $20,000 have disappeared from safes in police headquarters.

The situation was quickly cooled and Brownie tablehopped to join a By Peter Ed son Secretary of Agriculture Ezra Taft Benson won a surprise victory for himself and the Eisenhower administration when the House of Representatives unexpectedly voted 214 to 171 to kill outright its omnibus farm bill. This had been a political catchall dreamed up by the House Agriculture Committee after months of study.

It was an obvious bid for farm votes in this election year. It tried to give some new benefit to almost every group of farmers in the country. The only crops omitted were tobacco and peanuts, whose planters didn't want or couldn't agree on what more they wanted. The House bill tried to put over the discredited two-price plan for wheat. It proposed mandatory barter for surplus crop disposal.

It would have imposed new controls on milk and feed grain production. In addition to all this, the House bill would have increased Department of Agriculture expenditures by an estimated billion dollars a year for the next several years. This is why Benson called the bill "an economic monstrosity and a political hodgepodge."

Although parents cannot assume that a youngster who develops an inflampd joint has rheumatoid arthritis, this could be the case and it is a serious enough symptom so that medical help should be obtained promptly. Mrs. A. W. asks whether a special diet and fresh air and sunshine are advisable for her 11-year-old son who has rheumatoid arthritis of the knee.

I don't believe that there is any diet which will help the inflamed knee directlv. But of course her son should have a good, well-balanced diet. Fresh air and sunshine may be included among the measures designed to support the general health. mistakably that they thought Ezra was right this time. What future this action forbodes on farm legislation in the remainder of this session is uncertain.

While the House Agriculture Committee was playing political football with the farm issue in this fashion, several much-needed programs were running close to their expiration dates. Among them are the agricultural surplus disposal program and the school, veterans and armed services milk programs. They were to end June 30. unless renewed. Also there's the National Wool Act, but it runs until next spring.

The Senate, taking a much saner approach to the farm situation, has already approved separate bills renewing these programs. The Senate Agriculture Committee has also reported out another farm bill which would come closer to meeting Secretary Benson's and President Eisenhower's repeated requests for lower and more flexible price supports and freer planting for cotton, corn, feed grain and rice farmers. If the House could be persuaded to act on these Senate measures, the situation might not be so bad. But the lack of coordination between the Senate and House Agriculture committees this year has been notable. If the House committee now goes into a sulk because of the shellacking its omnibus bill took, action could be delayed.

The House -Agriculture committee might try to bring in a new bill of its own. But in the end it is now expected to approve the Senate bills and let it go at that. What all these shenanigans prove, if anything, is that first and foremost it's nonsense to try to write new farm programs in election years. They always get in trouble. The more basic consideration is that the farm problem like foreign policy and the tariff-should no longer be considered a political issue.

It is something that requires a bipartisan or nonpartisan approach as a business proposition and a question of sound economics. The fundamental idea that Secretary Benson has been trying to put over is that the continued piling up of huge, multibillion dollar agricultural surpluses that can't be sold or even given away does not make economic sense. For this stand the secretary has taken an unmerciful, personal political beating. But a few victories like he has just scored in the House might indicate that things were beginning to go his way. Practices Committee.

It was all one social set. Counselor Teitelbaum was "Scarface" Al Capone's lawyer. And the "labor relations expert" often said: "Alphonse Capone was one of the most honorable men I ever met." Of course, that was in the days before the colleagues of "Scarface," sometimes known as Al Brown, moved Teitelbaum out of his cushy spot not too long ago. Thus the mob worked both ends. Through Teitelbaum they used the Chicago catering unions to hang one on the restaurant owners.

Through others in the syndicate, the McClellan Committee wijl disclose, they tied unions to the gambling networks, for example. We trace this one through the late Claude 'Screwy) Maddox. He was a power in the Chicago area restaurant unions. When he died recently, he was at liberty, just out of stir on a rap for violating laws against transporting gambling devices across state lines. "Screwy" was tied in with something called the Taylor Manufacturing Company, in Al Capone's own Cicero.

At one end of a lush restaurant where the entertainment and food are good and inexpensive. The boys don't make their money on food-laden tables. But they need them and need low-priced waiters and other restaurant help, meaning no unions or "cooperative" unions.

And how better to get peace than to have a Maddox, in his spare time, oversee a union? The business agents just never forget that he was tied in with Tony Accardo, the host with the most for the Chicago boys.
