For example, what was originally known as vitamin has now been broken down into a lot of. different parts with differing chemical nature and differing functions. Indeed, it is by no means certain that all of the Inside Labor By Victor Riesel This Is undoubtedly a story with a built-in pane (sic) in the neck to many labor leaders who forget they live in glass houses especially these days. This could be the story of many a building trades union. It pivots, on just one outfit, a glaziers union.

In the past few weeks, the glaziers have been forced to end a practice which has cost American families millions of dollars just to live neatly and comfortably. This glaziers' union operated in the sprawling Chicago-Hammond, area. There, many a housewife in many a workers' community has bathroom, kitchen and medicine cabinet glass and mirrors, shower installation and shower doors which cost lots more than they should and thus jacked up the cost of homes and rents. This union, conspiring with some contractors, according to the government, raised building costs in this fashion: The union, an affiliate of the Painters, Decorators and Paper-hangers Brotherhood, would insist that all glass and mirrors in all new and reconstructed homes and factories in the area had to be mounted and inserted (glazed right on the construction site, This meant that it could not be brought in already fixed to the cabinets, doors or window sashes which could have saved JEiww.as'!" ilv I 2 '01 7 The Smart Sep By Cholly Knickerbocker Let the tribal dance begin: Certain aboriginal tribes send their young women to sleep alone in dark forests, or perform feats of derring-do requiring great initiative and skill. In the South Sea islands, native girls still know when it is time for them to build their own thatched hut, set up cooking stones and sit in the doorway waiting.

Once upon a time, Victorian young ladies put up their hair. All of it means the same thing. In social Amerca, a girl enters on a round of parties, teas and dances which culminate in her own coming-out party. She dons tha long white gloves and ball gown that are the uniform of the debut (a word which comes to us from the French meaning "to make one'a first appearance, to Her photograph appears in the society pages of the newspapers. Her mother beams, but coldly appraises each young man who comes to dance with her darling.

Her father glows and only now and then remembers that the financial drain is just a drop in bucket compared to the next outffy for which the coming-out is prelude the weddng. The time-honored system of the debut is like a formalized ritual dance. It makes a line of demarcation between young adolescence and real growing-up. After a girl "comes out," she must apply herself to the business of life this usually means to finding a suitable husband and continuing in the pursuit of womanhood. The debutante round of entertainment and fetes is an exhausting but happy time, offering the maximum of exposure for the deb.

She sees and is seen. She dresses up and looks her best for a large crew of eligible young men who return the compliment. She observes her contemporaries or competitors, as the case may be. She begins the first tentative flights on her own wings the experiments in flirtation, small talk or serious evaluation of others. Some debs approach their coming-out with dread, some with an acute By Anne Haywood It's not just beauty that's in the eyes of the beholder.

Consider, for example, glamor, success, prestige and importance. No job, as such, has any of these qualities. It's we who endow the job with them or do not, as is more often the case. For example, one woman is a happy wife and mother, living a creatively satisfying and rich life. Another is "just a housewife." One secretary is.

as she herself described it to me, "helping a fine mind make its contribution to the world with a minimum of delaying details." Another, with just the same type of job, is "handling useless details for a self-important fool" and "living a secondhand life." I don't mean that every woman can find creative satisfaction in every job. The point is that you must select the job that suits you, then make it important, glamorous and creatively satisfying. If you don't add these attributes, they'll be missing forever. A job never supplies them. You have to know what you want.

If you don't nobody else will know what's best for you. This is especially true, I think, of secretarial work, which has two basic kinds of jobs or workers. There is the kind of secretarial post which is a stopgap to a more creative or executive nonsecretarial job. There is also the job which leads to executive secretary and administrative assistant work. If your ultimate aim is to write advertising copy, let us say, you should go after a different type of secretarial position than if your ultimate aim is to be a major executive's No.

1 secretary. In both cases, of course, you have to do a good job. In the first case, your additional studies should be in courses on writing copy. In your free time, after your work is done, you should ask for a chance to try your hand at writing. It should be known in the office that is what you eventually want to do.

You must be patient in the meantime, however, and perform your secretarial duties accurately, quickly and cheerfully. In the second case, your additional studies should be in secretarial matters some business law and accounting, courses in subjects your boss works with, lessons designed to improve all your secretarial skills, including personal relations, personnel and business the construction people millions of dollars over the years. According to the government's anti-trust indictment, the union, Local 27, forced cash payments to its members from those suppliers who did manage to sell pre-glazed doors, medicine chests, mirrored walls, etc. These payments were to make up for the loss of work the local union mem The Washington Scene parts of what was originally considered vitamin have yet been discovered or fully analyzed. Vitamin was one of the first vitamins to be discovered.

At least 14 separate parts of this vitamin are now recognized. Most of them have been prepared in crystal-like form and their chemical nature is thus known. One of the parts is known as thiamine. Such- foods as peas, beans, oatmeal, whole wheat, peanuts, enriched flour and bread, and lean pork are particularly rich in thiamine. If human beings did not get enough thiamine in their diets they would tend to become irritable, depressed quarrelsome, uncooperative and fearful.

How-ever, those who develop such traits cannot always blame it on lack of thiamine. A long continued serious deficiency of thiamine will result in a disease known as beri-beri in which the nervous system and heart are damaged and other signs appear. Another part of the vitamin complex is called riboflavin. An insufficient amount of this vitamin will slow the growth of young animals and produce skin inflammation and cataracts in rats. The symptoms in human beings include inflammation of the lips and tongue, cracks at the corners of the mouth, inflammation of the skin and a special kind of inflammation of the eyes.

Liver, milk and cream, and leafy vegetables are considereed the best sources of this substance in the human diet. Nicotinic acid 'not related to nicotine in tobacco' is another important part of the vitamin complex. Absence of this substance produces a condition known as black tongue in dogs. In man. deficiency of this vitamin results in pellagra, a disease characterized by weakness, loss of appetite and indigestion, loss of energy in the later stages, soreness and ulcerations in the mouth, together with diarrhea.

A typical skin lesion is common. The best sources of nicotinic acid are lean meats and liver. Probablv those parts of the vitamin complex mentioned are the best known, but there are a number of others. They include vitamin 6 fpanothenic acid, which seems to restore normal hair color to some animals which have white Far East ana eisewnere, vvouia oe doing all it could to promote a conciliatory atmsophere for the current Warsaw talks between the United States and Red China. But its course has been exactly the opposite.

It addressed an insulting note to President Eisenhower demanding that United States forces get out of Formosa or face the threat of expulsion by Red China's armies. If this is negotiation, then it's a business deal when a thief walks into a store, points a gun at the owner and says: "Give me your money." Mr. Eisenhower quite properly declined to give that note dignified answer. Indeed, in what seems to be an almost unprecedented action in United States history, he literally threw it back in Premier Khrushchev's face. He called it "unacceptable under established international practice." Certainly such a note, replete with false charges, abuse and personal attack, could have no standing in diplomatic communication between nations.

The wonder is that it was not delivered unsigned, pieced together from odd letters clipped from magazines and slipped under the President's door in the manner of a kidnaper's ransom note. Our position in the matter of helping Chiang Kai-shek's Nationalist Chinese defend he offshore islands of Quemoy and Matsu is difficult and uncomfortable. But Formosa, 100 miles to the east, is a different story. Our strategic interest in that big island is legitimate, for it is a link in a long Pacific defense chain involving Japan and the Philippines. And no shred of evidence can be adduced to support Red China's claim to this bastion.

The people are not Chinese, and ultimately deserve the right to rule themselves. This they would never be likely to gain under Communist heel. So Khrushchev's peremptory order to us to get out or be thrown out is presumptuous, arrogant, rooted in deliberate, conscious ignorance. Since when does the world's top gunman don the marshal's badge and direct orderly citizens to clear the way for his gangster cronies? Neither Russia nor Red China is going to be able to bully its way to conquests of free soil. If they want to try the ruinous path of war itself, we cannot stop them from the effort.

But they should know by now that we will not flinch before threat. 'My Artistic Friends' No less a political personage than Carmine De Sapio, New York City Democratic boss, has pumped new life into the old one about politics making strange bedfellows. De Sapio is one of the few politi consciousness of it ali, others galiy. 6 on a lark, which is an end in itsel By Peter Edson The big riddle in Washington today is: "Who's been giving away secrets on changes in the China policy?" Secretary of State John Foster Dulles says it is a matter of opinion whether this is "sabotage." And he doesn't think it was done with any "subversive" intent. He just says it was "ill-advised" for a State Department public affairs officer to give out information indicating that the administration's China policy was not supported by most of the people who wrote in to protest ihe possibility of going to war over Quemoy and Matsu.

"I think the great mistake was that this was given out in a way which could be. and probably was, misinterpreted by the Communists as indicating a prospective change in policy," says the Secretary. He infers there is no chage. There is considerable opinion among State Department reporters, however, that Secretary Dulles himself has done more to indicate that United States China policy, is changing than the hapless public affairs officer who merely answered reporters' questions on how the Department's fan mail was running. Careful examination of Dulles' press conference transcript reveals that the administration's "flexible" China policy now has these three main eleements: Voice of Broadway Whatever the attitude of the debutante, we salute her.

She represents youth and beauty and an unending succession of the cream of America's new society. She is the social leader of tomorrow. In a year or two. perhaps even sooner, she will form the backbone of charity organizations, benefits and dance committees Her voice will be heard in the PTA, at political rallies, on city councils, in church board rooms. She may juggle a career with marriage or devote herself exclusively to one or the other.

She will lend charm and elegance to the best restaurants, influence fashion, fill the newspaper columns with her activities. Occasionally, she will make headlines sometimes good, sometimes bad. However, for the most part the debutante is ephemeral, designed to be "a disappearing act." She fades into the mosaic of social living and everyday life, achieving happiness on a quiet scale rather than notoriety. But for now she is the cynosurrgj all eyes in one of America's most attractive tribal customs. Bon Mot: "My youth may wear and waste, but it shall never rust in my possession Congreve hair, but not to human beings', choline, biotin and folic acid.

Another known as vitamin B-I2 will be discussed in another bers in Chicago sustained. The government reports a great volume of such pre-made window sashes and cabinets were shipped in from out of the state. Either the out-of-state suppliers paid these sums to members of Chicago Local 27 for not doing work or the union simply took the pre-glazed material, removed it from the cabinets and other parts and then just installed it all over again in the sam cabinets and parts for new buildings and homes. In other words, the out-of-state manufacturers had to pay twice for the same work. Or the Chicago builders would have to foot the bill.

This must have run into scores of millions of dollars over the decades because the Justice Department, headed by Attorney-General William Rogers, estimated that in 1954 alone, there was $4,000,000 worth of this flat glass installed 'glazed) in the Chicago area. After the government won its case, Assistant Attorney-General Victor R. Hansen, in charge of the Anti-Trust Division, said: "The effect of this union tactic was to deny to the public the benefits of costs savings in the use of pre-glazed (pre-installed products." But this hurt more than the general public. This Local 27 also hurt other union members. The Chicago outfit did not handle the out-of-state glass work even if it had been prepared by members of other AFL-CIO unions.

The Chicago unit could stall construction simply by refusing to supply manpower to projects which used even union made products from out of the state. The court judgment ruled that this must end, too The union agreed to end these practices. But only after the government had fought it for years. Ironically, this agreement came exactly seven months after the entire AFL-CIO Construction Trades Department had publicly -very publicly, on the front pages announced that such practices would be wiped out immediately. That was on February 7.

The AFL-CIO Building and Construction Trades Department had gathered in Miami Beach. Their blazoned 10-point program said, in Point Eight: "Slowdowns, forcing of overtime, spread-work tactics, stand by crews and feather-bedding practices have been and are condemned." Apparently this was intended to apply equally to all unions but some unions still believe they are more equal than others. Is this good public relations at a time like this? English. You should also apply to join the National Secretaries Association and try to pass their test, which certifies you as a top secretary. It's all a matter of orienting your thinking toward what you really want.

Here, as elsewhere in life, our big mistake comes from sloppy thinking. If you'd like information about the National Secretaries Association, send me a stamped, self-addressed envelope in care of this newspaper. 1. A eease-firt on Quemoy and Matsu could be arranged at Warsaw without any written agreement. Secretary Dulles declares that the Communists do not believe in the sanctity of the given word.

So why bother to get it? For enforcing the cease-fire after the shooting stopped, the Secretary would resort to reimposing full sanctions, or restrictions on trade with Red China. These sanctions did not stop or break Red China when they were in force before. So there is considerable doubt they would be more effective now, even if United States allies agreed to them which has not been determined. Also. Chinese Communist Premier Cbou En-lai has so far rejected all suggestions for a ceasefire.

2. In spite of this, Secretary Dulles goes on to propose that. "If there is a renunciation of force, it should be a renunciation on both sides." This is taken to mean that if the Chinese Communists agree not to use force against Quemoy and Matsu and Formosa later then the Chinese Nationalists will not be permitted to use force against the Chinese Communists except for self defense. This would mean that the unleashed Chiang Kai-shek would again be leashed. 3.

Another proposed major China policy change is that Chinese Nationalist forces on Ouemoy and Matsu should be withdrawn after a cease-fire is arranged. For the Chinese Nationalists to withdraw their forces "as a retreat under fire would not be wise," says the Secretary. However, "If there would be a ceasefire in the area which seeemed reasonably dependable, I think it would be foolish to keep a large force in these islands." This would mean pulling the rug out from under Chiang Kai-shek in a big way. It would end his go-it-alone determination to keep forces on the off-shore islands for an eventual return to the mainland by conquest. But even Chinese Nationalist policy seems to be changing on this point.

For her UN Ambassador Tingfu F. Tslang has now told the United Nations General Assembly that Nationalist forces would return to the mainland only if there a revolution overthrowing the Communists. Near the end of his press conference, the Secretary declared there was nothing really new in the American attitude. But then he was asked if there is "a possibility of some important changes, provided there is some give on the Chinese Communist side." He replied flatly, "Yes, I would say so." This should answer the riddle of wHo's been giving away secrets about changes in the China poli- cy. Dick Kleiner ordered case of Smirnoff vodka made in the U.S.A.

Especially a person whose great-great-grandmother was a full-blooded Cherokee Indian princess, and who also owns a cat named Corny who eats baked beans. Such a person is Zina Bethune. Miss Bethune, a pretty 13-year-old, will be playing Amy, the latest and smallest of the March sisters, in the big CBS-TV special, "Little Women," coming along on October 16. Perhaps you remember Miss Bethune from her shatteringly beautiful portrayal of Tennessee Williams' young heroine in "This Property Is Condemned," the last of three Williams one-acters which formed a Kraft Theatre production last May. If you do, you will find it almost impossible to reconcile that probing, young actress as the same person as the dance-happy young lady who is Zina Bethune in person.

She is 13, which is a nice age, but a somewhat stubborn age. And Zina is determined to be a ballerina. She's turned down offers to Broadway shows and offers to do movies and offers to model and offers to do TV programs because they might interfere with her ballet studies. And nothing, not even life itself, is going to stand in her way to be a ballerina. And not even the fact that she seems to be a natural-born actress and her mother, Ivy Bethune, is an actress, too.

No sir, ballet is her life. Zina Bethune is her real name. "Zina," says her mother, is a name that came out of thin air. It's from the Greek, Zenobia, but there's no Greek in our Zina.
