Christina Rossetti Mary Pickf ord and her 6pouse, Buddy Rogers, are to spend the summer in Majorca. That, of course, is the same island where Frederic Chopin and George Sand (Mme.

Duvenant) went to spend a romantic interlude. Mme. Duvenant brought along her two young children. She was 34 at the time. Chopan was 28.

This celebrated pair of lovers only spent 98 days in Majorca. It was in the winter. The weather was terrible. It rained almost every day. Was also cold.

And the house heating wa bad. The climate nearly killed Chopin. Even Mme. Duvenant's love couldn't keep PROJECT him warm. 6 Passing By Alfred Di Liagre.

Ever since a thug handed me a blindfold, everybody's been yelling shame and what can we do about all this. The weather beinj? what it is, everybody then ran for the air-conditioning units andf watched the late, late show. Well, nearly everybody.

One of thoe who didn't is New York City's FBE-trained commissioner of police, i Stephen Kennedy. He set up a special racket smashing squad, whicjh is a sort of municipal central intelligence group that other communities might well copy. Los Angeles is the' only other major city in the country with such an agency. Fisom now on, this unit will alert the FBI. or the police of other towis, whenever teams of thugs moyft out of this city for a "hit" In oiher areas.

All movements will be tifaced and alayzed and the proper liaw agencies notified anywhere in tie land. It will take only 24 men to do this. And they will be key sien, for the commissioner has been screening his force of 22,000 for this highly-qualified handful. If the citizenry of any city wants to lanow just how Commissiner Kennedy handled the, racket smashing innovation, here for the first 'time, is his specific order to his naen: "This order is concerned with observing, reporting and taking proper police action against acts of unlawful interference or of a racketeering nature which may affect the economic life of this city and fiie security and welfare of its citizens," the commissioner "Tlae rights of all individuals, labor organizations and business enterprises to work and live in a climate of law and order, free from any fjprt of criminal interference, canno)t be stressed too strongly. It is imperative that all members of the force be fully aware at all times of tlvsse rights and make every effort tb see that they are protected.

An expert corrective-shoe-fitter tells me many of the aching backs plaguing the populace begin in the corn-plaster territory. "If everyone wore perfectly fitting siioes through adolescence," he said, "I would be out) of business." His glance fell not unkindly on a row of white plaster molds resplendent with bunions, corns, misshapen toes and distorted metatarsals. The expert picked up another mold, placing it beside one of the scary ones. It was a beautiful foot, smooth as a baby's with fine straight toes and not a hump or a bump. "This is the same foot two years after I made a corrective shoe for the patient." The only trouble with this expert's stock in trade? His shoes may be the earthly means of flying but they are hideous to behold.

After all; what's a little old corn between friends, when correction brings such atrocious wounds to pride? "Well," he grinned, "that's just silly. No one looks at a foot when they can look at a bright happy face Instead. A happy face means happy feet. Show me a sour-puss and I'll show you a painful arch, ingrown nails or a back ache caused by the wrong shoes!" "We fitted an actress," he recalled. "A hot-tempered one.

YourHealth By Edwin Jordan, M.D. Each year in the United States about 40,000 die as the result of motor vehicle accidents, 100,000 are permanently injured and about 1,000,003 are temporarily disabled.

It is estimated that about one person in 10 living in the United States may expect to be killed or injured in highway accidents within the next 15 years. Clearly the problem must be attacked from many diferent angles including automobile design, law enforcement, highway engineering, and others. Recently, two important contributions to this subject from the Harvard School of Public Health have been brought to my attention. In discussing them it is possible to mention only a few of the important points brought out in these reports. It is, for example, clear that the physical condition of the driver of a motor vehicle influences his safety, that of his passengers, and, other drivers and pedestrians.

Certain visual difficulties and hardness of hearing are obvious physical facts which if severe enough should keep a driver off the road. Less clear are the possible hazards of certain physical defects or diseases. A person is liable to suffer loss of consciousness for any reason, would of course, constitute a menace for all concerned but others are stlil subject to study in regard to the degree of hazard which they may produce. Fatigue is clearly important in accidents when the driver falls asleep. It may also play a parj in other accidents w'hen fatigue interferes with cuts rapidity of reaction and affects similar important driver attributes.

In general, over-fatigue certainly constitutes a risk. Alcoholic beverages increase the likelihood of accidents almost in direct proportion to the amount taken. Alcohol never increases driver efficiency and one of its most important effects is that performance is impaired while confidence goes up. Less well known (and also less important) is the effect of tobacco smoking on driving. This may lead to the accumulation monoxide which in turn will affect the vision, particularly at night.

Another medical problem connected with driving is in relation to the effect of may interfere with driving efficiency in one way or another. Others are taken for the purpose of improving efficiency like coffee or benzedrine. Apparently coffee and tea taken ir ordinary amounts by persons in good health do have some value in this connection, but 6hou'ld not be used as a substitute for adequate sleep or rest. Drugs of the benzedrine cla.ss, however, are believed to have certain drawbacks which make their use inadvisable. A final word on accident repeaters or accident proneness.

The report concludes that the characteristics most clearly related to high accident rates are low intelligence, youthfulness and by self-centeredness, antisocial trends, and social irresponsibility.

It is for this reason that the answers to a National Education Association survey, sent into its Washington headquarters by 4,200 teachers from every state In the Union, shed new light on the dark J.

D. story. The survey covers only behavior in school. It's what the youngster do after school hours, when they are unsupervised, that gets them in most trouble. But classroom behavior gives a good to what they do later.

This is the way the teachers ranked the principal causes of school misbehavior: Irresponsible parents. Unsatisfactory home conditions. Lack of parental supervision due to mother working. Lack of training in moral and spiritual values. Lack of special classes for those of low intelligence.

Inc. Inured as Msond elaaa Mil matter rf- Our Independence The springtime visit of Indonesia's President Sukarno was a sharp reminder to Americans that the ideals of freedom their forefathers fought for are still a beacon to liberty-loving peoples the world over. Sukarno showed by his knowledgeable comment on America's revolutionary past that his own country's quest for liberty owed much to our example. That example we ourselves celebrate each year on Independence Day. We are eternally proud, and we should be, that we had the courage and spirit to rise up and cast off the shackles of oppressive foreign rule.

But as we come upon that time again this year, we might remember that it was not simply national independence but individual independence we struggled to gain. It is not just foreign dictation we 'are free of. We can countenance none within our borders either. Our federal Constitution guaran-tees that there shall be none. And generally those guarantees have been well enforced.

Any failures, however brief of small, are quickly noted by the many vigilant champions of our liberties at home. Freedom and independence are more than principles to be declared and safeguarded. They are conditions 0f life to be enjoyed to the fullest. It is not enough that we can speak freely and live pretty much as we choose. To make our independence meaningful, we must do these things.

We must have the boldness to live according to our own lights, to employ our own special qualities and capacities in the way that to us seems most likely to prove fruitful. We must not fear to be criticized for what we say or do. We must not fear to be different. The real richness of the free way of life lies in its variety. And this reward can only be had by a nation if its people insist on being different when that is their inclination.

There is no political tyranny here. But we want no economic or social tyranny either. We can tolerate no self-styled "all-seeing" groups which would tell us what we may safely think and feel and do if we would be accepted in American society. The meaning of America's independence is that, within the limits necessary for the protection of us all, it allows us to make our own choices. If we would honor the men who died to give us this liberty, we must make those choices in the same courageous spirit they showed on the battlefields and in the council halls.

Low Popularity Rating As nearly everybody predicted, spring finally got out on the road and barnstormed for a couple of days but now has given way to summer. It seems just yesterday that we watched the coal truck disappear down the street after a last "must" delivery, and it is already time to start worrying whether the grass is going to turn brown under the blazing heat. All "spring" long you sit at the window and gaze at the bleary, chill landscape, wondering when you can get into the yard and do something. By the time you can, it is too hot to do it. Most Americans live in that broad belt called the "temperate zone," which lies between the tropics and the Arctic North.

But if spring does not play a longer engagement next season, there will be a lot of votes for making it the "intemperate zone." No wonder the weather man misses so often nowadays. His spectacles are either frosted or fogged with perspiration. Other Editors Say The death list attending the drunken driving evil has become too grim.

Philadelphia Inquirer Speaking of living within our means, it would seem that the Labette County Commissioners are entitled to a pat on the back.

general opinion that the juvenile problem in their communities was not as bad as portrayed throughout the country by newspapers, radio and movies and the national magazines' crusades. Only one pupil out of a hundred was rated really bad. But the presence in any class of one or two pupils who need but are not getting psychiatric treatment has a strong effect in pulling down behavior of th? whole group. At the other extreme, children from high-income families are not always best say the teacher's. Best behavior was found in children from families where the standard of living was high but not'high enough to employ a full-time maid.

It was found that when parents have maids, they tend to be given too much responsibility for rearing the kids. All these somewhat optimistic generalities do not seem to be boine out by the teachers' answers to specific questions on the behavior of their charges. Over 10 per cent of the teachers said they had been the victims of physical violence from their pupils during their teaching careers, though only 1.6 per cent said they had been attacked in the past year. Physical violence was defined a.s being struck with fists, attacked with a knife, club or gun, or hit by objects thrown to do bodily harm. Small-towo youngsters were reported better behaved than big-town boys and girls.

Less than one per cent of the teacheis reported acts of violence against them in towns of under 5.000. But in cities of a million or more, 28 per cent of the teachers reported they had been attacked. School crowding was reported to b3 another factor with a direct relation to pupil behavior. When class 6izes move from 30 to 40 teachers reported their problems doubled. Teachers with 29 years experience reported stealing, sex offenses, gang fighting and cheating were worse than when they began teaching.

Teachers with both 10 and 20 years experience reported impertinence, failure to do assignments, drinking intoxicants and use of profane or obscene language were worse now than when they began teaching. Only two types of misbehavior were reported on the decrease over the last 10 and 20 years unorganized fighting and obscene scribbling oh lavatory walls. Only 45 per cent of the teachers said they had authority to whip pupils for misbehavior. But when asked if they should be permitted ti administer corporal punishmen 77 per cent of the grade teachers, 62 per cent of the junior high and 37 pr cent of the senior high teachers said, "Yes."

Barbs Dick Kleiner On Older Matinee Idols This may be something for you amateur psychologists, but what's happening to the Broadway leading man? Look at the biggest malefstars on Broadway today youH see names like Edward G. Robinson, Paul Muni, Rex Harrison, Robert Weede, Lawrence Tibbett, Billy Gilbert and Thomas Gomez. All fine actors, but there isn't a young, handsome heart-throbber in the crowd. Why? Broadwayites say there are two reasons, but there's no telling which one came first. There is a definite shortage of handsome juvenile actors and a shortage of good plays calling for a young and romantic leading man.

And so the big parts in the big plays are such things as a middle-aged manufacturer (Edward G. Robinson in "Middle of the a famous lawyer (Paul Muni in "Inherit the a fortyish expert on speech (Rex Harrison in "My Pair a middle-aged grape grower (Robert Weede in "The Most Happy. two French grandfathers (Lawrence Tibbett and Billy Gilbert in and the patriarchal Big Daddy of a southern family (Thomas Gomez in "Cat On a Hot Tin Even the other plays offer no romantic hero Ben Gazzara in "A Hatful of Rain" is a dope addict; Robert Preston and Claude Dauphin in "Janus" are pretty bumbling about romance; Andy Griffith in "No Time for Sergeants" is a rustic recruit; Joseph Schildkraut in "The Diary of Anne Frank" is a worried father; Orson Bean in "Will Success Spoil Rock Hunter?" is romantic only with the assistance of a modern Devil and Jayne Mansfield. Perhaps most typical of the present trend and, with so many examples, it must be a trend is Robert Weede. With his glorious voice and his beaming smile, he is a perfect Most Happy Fella.

He takes a philosophical view of his long-delayed stardom. "I put in many years of work learning to sing opera," he says. "I sang in theatres, like the Music Hall. I studied abroad. I even appeared in vaudeville with a Russian balalaika band.

"And the frustrations! So many times I auditioned for radio, in the old days, and they told me my voice was too good for radio. They wanted crooners. So I quit the business and taught voice in Baltimore. "And now here I am. And there are people in the cast of my show who haven't lived as long as I've studied." Weede left a successful operatic and concert career to take a fling at Broadway.

And for one chief reason so he could stay home. "Oh, I guess I'll make a little more money in the long run," he says. "But I didn't do bad. My concert fee used to be $1,200 and I'd get around $900 for an opera appearance. During a year, I'd do 12 or 18 concerts and every year I'd go to San Francisco for a two-month season of opera and do maybe 10 operas.

After 'Most Happy my fees will go up but who knows whether there'll be anybody who can pay any more? "So it wasn't money. But every night after the show I drive to my house. And, except on matinee days, I have all day to spend at home. That I like."
