Can child analysts believe that the sucking reflex of the infant needs gratification and fulfill ment This reflex Is not always adequate during breast feeding or bottle feeding and may need further supplement as a child gets older This idea is not uni versally accepted by all doc tors but is as good as some other answers which at best are speculative about this prob lem There is universal agreement however by all doctors and psy chologists that children should not be shamed into stopping this I am sure I am one of the millions of mothers whose chil dren suck their thumbs I was particularly distressed when the nursery teacher of my five year old child called me and seemed 7 Irrespective on the tangible or intang to insinuate that I was doing 7ible qualities of the airwaves were irreparable harm by not stop declared to be an inalienable possession Tof the And so no radio or tv sta tion may operate without a federal license regulating the airwaves But such regula tion of itself as Machan has so capablyshown carries with it the all important 7 question of how to make regulation conformto the requirements of freedom of'cxprcs In this question lies the great dif tfcrence between the mass communication Imodiums of the airwaves and a free press tt is a question that will likely never beresolved which is why a free press will remain first as a defender of liberty BQsa Basra 80030 I3I313IIB HQHQ BBBUSB BESS SI5BISI BQ Eisaacaaa sas ese aana anaas asase aaaa hlju bub aaangHB S3 aaaa saa QQuaaiaa SBUBB never married One version is that Lucy a Catholic was un willing to marry a divorced man The other version is that Eleanor was firm in reminding her husband that he could nev er reach the White House as a divorced man My own knowledge of the ro mance came from Elsie Cobb Wilson who later married Gen Louis Little of the Marine Corps Calm Mrs Roosevelt Elsie a close friend of the Roosevelts told how the ro mance came to a crisis when Eleanor came back from a sum mer of 1917 in Campobello and driving through the Virginia countryside passed her husband and Lucy in a parked car in fond embrace Mrs Roosevelt had an unemo tional showdown with her hus band while Elsie had a talk with Lucy Mercer advising her to step out of life altogether It is not quite clear either from my conversations with Mrs Little whether it was El confrontation or decision to bow out that finally broke up the romance However there are at least three subsequent chapters Elsie Little always blamed the Lucy Mercer incident for the fact that Roosevelt would not promote her husband to be commandant of the Marine Corps Gen Little a brilliant officer reached the No 2 rank in the Marine Corps but DR never made him commander According to Mrs Little he was irked over the part she had played in breaking up his ro mance Another chapter occurred dur ing the closing days of World War II when Steve Early Roose press secretary told me that late one night he received a phone call from an editor in northern New Jersey telling him that the spe cial train was on a siding near Allamuchy and he the editor wanted permission to publish the story In those war days the where abouts of the President was a military secret and could not be published without permission Steve withheld permission He said that he learned later that DR traveling north to New York had ordered his train stopped near the home of Lucy Mercer who had become Mrs Winthrop Rutherford Death The final chapter in secret romance is told poignant ly by Daniels in describing the death of the president in April 1945 Mrs Rutherford had gone to Warm Springs taking along portrait painter Elizabeth Shou matoff He suffered a stroke while posing Mrs Rutherford was spirit ed out of Warm Snrincs and Bill Hassett the sec Square says Russia is a place retary deliberately omitted her name from the list of those who were with DR when he was stricken But Mrs Roose velt knew Daniels tells the story: Early blurted to him (Hassett): hell to pay Bill Mrs Roosevelt knows that Lucy Rutherford was in the midst of the solemn obsequies there was on her heart a secret something she had to Daniels con tinues made direct inqui ries Had Lucy Mercer come to the White House in the times she had been away?

Mro N7 TTlvrirlo Dear Mrs I gather you are far more distressed by the teacher than you were by the fact that your child still sucks his thumb I am quite certain that a longer discussion with the teacher would have shown you that she has a greater psychological insight into the causes of thumb sucking than was apparent during your con versation Sucking the thumb is nature's Days Gone In the Journal tester Coleman Threats Medicine Bad Psychology for Thumb suckers Details of DR's Secret Romance Told Eleanor Learned of White House Visit William Buckley Criticism of Nixon by Jackie Robinson Called Cry of a 'Pompous Moralizer1 CROSSWORD 50 Swedish coin 51 Canvas shelters DOWN 1 Seasoning 2 Excuse 3 orearm bone 4 Decay 5 Cord 6 Tantalum: sym 7 Liquor 8 Exchange premium 9 Magna or summa 10 Barren 14 Extension of a table 18 Out of Broadway PRESS PASS Howard Hughes Mon has more executives than the US President One of them told us: who say they see him don't Those who see him Mail rates are on the up again Sinatra is at The Warwick for 3 wks His entourage in cludes two pilots for his private jet Airline fares will soar early in One of the May former City Hallers (a self appointed BInformer) has given testimony before the ed eral Grand Jury that will rock crowd Even without the 18 year olds voting the census bureau will con firm that there will be a record breaking number of potential voters this year about 75 million why some can didates are spending so much to woo new voters Speaking of Your Health figuration of the teeth will be permanently changed and even damaged This has not suffi cient validity to pressurize the child or restrain him The psy chological damage that can be done to a child can be far more destructive than the disadvan tage of a questionable change in dentition that may result In the older 'child of six or seven it may cause him embar rassment in the early grades at school If thumb sucking per sists at this time consultation with a doctor or a psychologist may reveal the deeper rooted reasons for thumb sucking and how it can be resolved without producing more difficult and less apparent psychological traits Wfc Jr?
