Law Needs to Be Enforced On Minors In Pool Halls A few days ago, a sobbing mother sat in the Courier News office. At that time, she thought her son was in some sort of trouble.

As it turned out, he was not and the story never made the front page. But this mother gave this newspaper some food for thought when she discovered her son had spent two weeks in a downtown pool hall when she thought him to be in school. First reply to that problem would be that it is an unwise parent who doesn't know the whereabouts of his own child. But in this case, circumstances made that knowledge difficult to obtain. The point remains that on the books is a law which quite plainly states juveniles shall not be allowed in pool halls.

We realize many a 17-year-old can pass for 21, but we believe more stringent law enforcement would make pool hall managers much more careful about whom they admitted. Conservatives' Grip on Ike Is Still to Be Measured To discuss the internal divisions of the Republican Party without stirring factional passions is extremely difficult these days. But now and then the effort must be made. When President Eisenhower won the GOP nomination at Chicago in 1952 many politicians and veteran political observers blandly assumed that the wing of the party which had led him to victory would thereafter take con- control of the party and reshape it. For the moment, it was forgotten how many of the tools of party power were in the hands of the GOP's more conservative elements.

A Republican Congress was sure to be in their grasp. But as a matter of fact, they made their Influence felt during the fall campaign, months before the new Congress convened. Given this situation, the party could have been reshaped in the image of the liberal wing only by a bludogeoning process that it was feared would certainly fhatter the It is not known whether Mr. Eisenhower ever had a wish to remake the party as many had expected. But he never tried, in any event.

He set out tl) to preserve Republican unity. All this is pretty well understood today. But what is not widely known or grasped is the heavy impact these developments have han on Mr. Eisenhower's originally most devoted on Capitol Hill. Publicly they art not speaking up.

Privately they are convinced to a man that Mr. Eisenhower it showing no political leadership whatsoever, that tht whole administration it characterized by political ineptitude, that, that at result of the effort at party unity the liberal wing has been completely frozen aut of any influence in high Republican and Administration councils. This does not take account, naturally, of liberal-minded Republicans within the Administration itself. We are talk ing here of Congress and elsewhere. If you are a Republican, how seriously you regard this situation depends of course, on which wing you favor.

Liberals are bound to be distressed, but so are some moderates who think both major parties are healthier when they show a fairly good balance between liberal and conservative elements. In 1940, 1944 and 1948 the GOP conservatives could not nominate one of of their own for President. In 1952 they failed again. But in the view of liberal GOP lawmakers, the conservatives have since captured Mr. Eisenhower and that may be almost as good for their purposes.

The record this Congress makes, and the conduct of the fall campaign, may show to what extent this is actually true, and if it is, to what degree it is good or bad for he Republican Party and the people of the United States. Dead-End Kid Views of Others Not Prepared Even with the intentions, it is not always easy for the U. United Nations delegation to keep from getting croeeed Sometimes domestic political reality to short-circuit which our U. N. staff knows are needful.

An example of thit tort of thing appeared in Louisville just this week. Dr. Joseph J. Sisco, staff assistant of the State Department's Bureau of United Nations Affairs, addressed Louisville's International Club Tuesday night. He told how the "slow, undramatlc solutions" of problems of under-developed countries through U.

N. technical assistance programs "strike at the root causes of war." Wondering that Soviet Russia after all this time has last given $1,000,000 for special U. N. projects. Dr, Sisco decided "the change is testimony to the effectiveness of the U.

N's social and economic programs; Russia is concerned about U. S. Leadership of these programs." His conclusions were well-founded. By Ironic coincidence, the same issue of The Courier-Journal which reported Dr. Sisco's speech a brief Associated Press dispatch from United Nations, N.

Y. It began: "The United States said today it is 'not now prepared' to contribute to a proposed $250,000,000 United Nations fund for building up undeveloped countries." The reason, continued the dispatch, was that defense spending is heavy in the Unietd States, and this country has already contributed heavily and directly to help undevelopmed countries. But are we to stop trying to "strike at the root causes of war" because of that? Are we to arrange it so that Soviet Russia need not be "concerned about U. S. leadership" in the U.

It develops, however, that at least two of the commission's three members do not. Dr. James P. Wesberry, chairman, commented at a meeting this week that he does not read books up for consideration. Hubert Dyar of Royston said he has somebody read them for him.

This is in spite of optimstc redcnotions by Secretary of Labor James P. Mitchell and other leaders. Both American Federation of Labor and Congress of Industrial Organizations have held unemployment conferences in Washington.

Their basic complaint ic the rise in unemployment from A survey estimate of 1.5 million last October to 3.5 million in April. It doesn't help the additional two million out of work much to brush this aside with statistics about the 60 million plus who are employed and prospects for a rosier future next fall. To those actually unemployed there must now be added another 10 million not fully employed workers whose noses are now being officially counted in sample surveys made for the nejvly combined Department of Labor Department of Commerce monthly report. This report includes over eight million who are employed less than 35 hours a week and two million classified as having jobs but absent from work for temporary layoff, illness or any other reason. Another half million or more new workers will come into the labor market at the end of the school year.

Agricultural employment has not risen as much as it usually does in this season. The coal industry is really sick. There is still much genuine concern on the employment outlook. In the background are several related factors. One is a build-up of hoopla as the United Steelworkers, CIO, go a guaranteed annual wage.

This is the trial balloon on similar demands for the big labor It bein vigorously resisted by major employers. The general public will be subjected to heavy propaganda from both in coming months. The second and more important background factor ia political. Results of this fall's elections may have more money in their pockets and are better off than they wer two years ago. If they are not, the temptation will be to vote Democratic.

Inability of the Republican administration to put through any Taft-Hartley labor law revisions in two years may be a campaign talking point, though not too significant. Senate action in recommitting the Republican amendments was largely the work of Democratic senators. The play now is to work for a Democratic Congress next year to put through broader changes. in the Senate. This is part of the larger effort to decentralise all federal government operations and return everything possible to the states.

Chairman Dan Reed N.Y.) of the House Ways and Means Committee has introduced the administration program for unemployment Insurance expansion, but there have been no hearings on it this year. It would take in an estimated 3.4 million more workers in small business establishments. It would bring all of the 2.5 million federal employes into the unemployment insurance systems of the states in which they work. It would also take in 500,000 workers by changing the definition of what an "employe" is, and another 180.000 food-processing workers now excluded. Finally, the Reed bill would reduce the payroll tax on new employers one year's experience, instead of after three yars as at prsent.

If lit The Republican Congress is also payment insurance reform bill, but open to attack on the labor front because of its failure to take action on more basic labor laws. For instance, the original Eisenhower plan to increase the minimum wage level has been dropped. Enlargement of the unemployment insurance program seems to have bogged down completely.

This plan was aimed at greater relief for industrial workers in recessions like the present. A bill to return to the states all federal employment tax collections in excess of administrative costs and a reserve of $200 million has passed the House but is stalled it is given no chance. Labor Secretary Mitchell wrote year, urging them to recommend new state unemployment insurance laws to provide a uniform 26 weeks of coverage and to increase benefits to 60 or 67 per cent of each state's average weekly wage. There has been little or no action on this proposal to give the states more responsibility. But many state legislatures meet next year in biennial session, and may give it consideration.

Any such action will, of course, be too late to affect this year's elections. the Doctor Says- By EDWIN P. JORDAN. D. Written for NEA Serrica Among the factors which influence long life and, at least to some extent, vigor and enjoyment of life is the diet.

In fact, as has been pointed out recently, one of the goals of most dietary research is- to prolong the period during which the character- I istics of youth are maintained. One of the first principles of a proper diet is not to eat too many of those foods which lead to a gain in weight. In both men and worn- en the death rates for those who are overweight are well above at every age. The excessive deaths from obesity are not generally listed as such; they are found under high bolod pressure, heart disease, hardening of the arteries, diabetes, kidney disease and other conditions which are consistently higher as causes of death in who are overweight. those A well known saying might be paraphrased this way: Those who love to eat also eat to die The problem of combatting this evil of overfeeding is not an easy one.

It seems that often fat people eat because they are emotionally dlsturbd or frustrated, rather than from lack of knowledge of the dangers of too much food. of the thinfs which the problem difficult is that as gets older the basal metabolism gradually falls one has to eat gardually leas and less in order to stay the same weight. Indeed the matter is even more complicated by the fact that generally speaking older people may becomf leas active and, therefore, use up fewer calories. Furthermore, aa pointed out by one investigator of this subject, there should be a gradusl weight! loss with advancing years because if the weight remains the same at th cage of 70 as it was at 40 some df the muscle tissue has been replaced by fat. There are other aspects of the diet which enter into life and health.

There is an increasing recognition of the desirability of adequate amounts of protein foods in the diets of older people. Vitamins and minerals should be kept up during the later years as well as during youth. Milk is not only for babies, children and pregnant women but-for other adults as well It takes three average glasses of milk every day to provide the amount of calcium recommended for grownups! It is now felt that water too is important in the diet of older persons. It should not be excessive, of course, but in reasonable quantities lessens rather than increases the burden on "the kidneys and it is also of great value in intestinal function.

spades. The hand was hopeless if West held the king of spades, for West would be glad to take the spade trick and cash his remaining hearts. The situation was hopeless for the same reason if West had the ace of diamonds. Since the hand could be made only if East had both the ace of diamonds and the king of spades, South should have continued with a third round of diamonds instead of leading the queen of spades. East could take his ace of diamonds, but he would then have to lead away from the king of spades, and dummy's jack of spades would then provide a sure entry.
