C. t under the laws oi Congress, Act of Ma~ch 3. 1879 Every afternoon, Monday through Friaav O/e Bull s America Few younger generation Americans are familiar with the name of tne great Norwegian violinist, Ole Bull. His love of American ideals of freedom which inspired a mass migration of his countrymen to the United States, won him a place in history that may be remembered longer than his musical genius. Ole Bull was born in Norway in 1810. He first came to America in 1843 and was so enraptured with the new land of freedon that he soon became an American citizen. He returned repeatedly to Norway, which was subject to the Swedish king, in an attempt to inspire his homeland with the spirit of freedom that pervaded his newly adopted country. Finally, discouraged with the possibility of reviv ing his own native land, he conceived the idea of moving Norwegians to America, and he purchased 11,400 acres in Potter County, Pennsylvania, for New Norway. His address of welcome to arriving Norwegian settlers 100 years ago is a stirring message from a freedom-loving individual that, may well be taken to heart today. He recalled for his listen ers early Norwegian expeditions to the shores of America nearly a thousands years before, and said: “But since then we learned one of the great na tions of the earth had been successful in planting colonies there. That these colonies had grown and flourished, and that, when the mother country had endeavored to impose tyrannical laws upon them, they had rebelled, and stand ing up boldly in the presence of'mankind had declared be fore Almighty God, that they were free and independent that they had been successful and had established a gov ernment with a written constitution, based upon the prin ciples of justice and the eternal rights of humanity, that they had spread over almost the entire continent, and had become one of the leading nations of the earth, and that there a home could be found for all who sought it, that the right to labor for themselves would not be denied us, we have sought this country to be partakers in this liberty, to enjoy this freedom, and here in this beautiful valley we have selected cur home.” Can we honestly say we are preserving Old Bull's A merica today?

It is These Dav< © By FERRER ON ROBESON Paul Robeson is an artist .of merit who has become so absorbed by Soviet Russia that he no longer can be regarded as American in any utile;- category but nominal citizenship. He is at this nfoment the most vehement protagonist of Soviet Russia in' this country and his services have been acknow ledged by Joe Stalin. Indignation against Robeson is usually expressed by patriotic Am ericans who have never been temp ted by so-called left-wingism. Yet, no one has ever denounced Pavl Robeson with such accurate pin pointing of his unforgivable sins against his native land as Jose Ferrer, actor, who has also been attacked for some of his associa tions. Ferrer’s language is important because he expresses the problem of the artist who insists on free dom of expression but rejects trea son. This is what Ferrer said about Rcbeson: "Any American who accepts an award from the Soviet Union to day does a tremendous disservice, not only to his country, but to the cause of peace throughout the world. It seems to me to be very clear that up to now the Soviet Union has discredited itself as to believability of intention and honesty of purpose. “I have always felt deeply about the minority groups and their problems. In the case of Paul Rob eson. his. action in accepting Stalin’s so-called “peace prize" seems to me to be particularly reprehensible because he is doing almost irrepar able harm to his own race, and grave injury to the cause of all Negroes. He pretends to be their spokesman, and he is not. I do not believe that Paul Robeson has any thing fundamentally in common with Ralph Bunche, Marian An derson, Joe Louis, Dorothy Maynor, Jackie Robinson, and other Negroes who are winning the uphill battle for Negro rights. “Nor does he have very much in common with the Negro soldiers in Korea, who are helping to fight the battle for freedom against Communist aggression and dicta torship. "Anyone who is .in the arts must have freedom of expression. As an artist I insist on this privilege for, myself and for all others. In it's attempts to control artistic and creative expression, Communism is indistinguishable from Fascism or any other form of dictatorship. This is all the more reason to deplore the course which Paul Robeson has chosen." The acknowledgment of the un deniable truth that "Communism is indistineuishablev from Fascism" is emotionally difficult for many of those who in the hey-day of Hitler ism were willing to accept Stalin as an alternative. Their error was that there really is no alternative to evil. It is impossible to say that Stalin is less a d’vil than Hitler, for both were bred by the same Hegelian sire and only differed in the method of achieving an iden tical end. Even in the matter of anti-Sem itism. Stalin reaches the same po sition as Hitler did and for the same ends, namely, that any in dependence of though or action is repugnant to him. To the very few Negroes who visit this country, Stalin can well present a facade of equality because he has no Nearo population in his country, but he does have Jews in sufficient number to require him to reach a conclusion about them and his con clusion is the same as Hitler's was. Jose Ferrer, therefore, has hit the nail on the head when he establishes the truth that when Robeson serves Stalin, he betrays not only the United States but the Neeroes as well. It is a too usual, even though unjust, human trait to generalize from the particular. A handful of Neg/oes are Com munists: therefore the illogical and logic is perhaps the most diff icult and unused of mental exer cises conclude that all, or most, or a great many Negroes are Com munists. Robeson, in particular, stands out like a see thumb because he so pomtnent and active and such a P'-eat atist When he sings “Ole Man River" or “Water Boy,” one almost forgets that he is a servant of Stalin’s power. It is a pity be cause Robeson might have been of great service to his race and to this country. Instead, he is ab horred by most Americans and should be. .Tose Ferret* has served his country well by making the issue clear-cut and understandable. It is not th* Negro in Robeson that brings him opporbrium in his native land; it is his treachery to its ideals and institutions. a "rod pla *”? so- .veaetab’e*.

When Gen eral Eisenhower first asked George Humphrey, head of the giant M. A. Hanna holding corporation, to become secretary of the treasury, Humphrey told him that he wouldn’t be able to take the job for more than two years. “Well, that’s all right," replied Eisenhower, “but you wouldn leave me in the middle of a crisis, would you?” “No," laughed Humphrey. ’I would leave before the crisis ar rived." , , “If you’re that smart, conclud ed Eisenhower, "I certainly want you on my team." HOff MAINE POTATO The Ike administrationites have had a hot potato dumped in their lap in the form of contrite, humble Owen Brewster, the defeated GOP senator from Main, one-time vig orous opponent of Eisenhower. Brewster, who has lived in the Nation’s capital for something like a quarter of a century, now doesn’t want to go back to Maine. He wants to stay here and be a part of the Ike administration. Specificially he wants to be assistant secretary of State. „ To this end, the retiring senator -from Maine has seen Secretary of , 1 State-to-be John Foster Dulles, has been on the phone getting the sup port of old friends, and has sent ; word to the man who defeated him. Senator-elect Fred Payne, that ; he, Brewster, would retire from the senate on Dec. 31, thus giving Payne a char.ee to step in and gat , seniority ahead of other new sen ators provided Payne, in turn, would endorse him to be assistant secretary of State. Faced with this supplication ; from the retiring senator from Maine, the Brownell boys who are handling Ike’s jobs dumped the hot potato into the senate’s ! lap. In brief they told Brewster to get the support of Senator Mar ! garet Chase Smith, whom he once tried to defeat, and Payne, who defeated him. DURKIN WAS DIFFERENT This procedure was exactly the opposite of what Brownell did in the appointment of Martin Durkin as secretary cf Labor. In that case, not only was Taft not consulted, but Everett Dirksen, Republican Senator from Illinois, from which state Durkin comes, was not con sulted. Reason No. 1 for dumping the hot potato is that Brewster has become known as the senate spokes man of dictator Franco: also the spokesman of Pan American Air ways; and a senate probe actually ; revealed that he had been mixed up in tapping the telephone wires of Howard Hughs of Trans World Airlines on behalf of competing Pan American Airways. v* MIL L rff | subway .

After all, you paid for tha dinner and show.” Reason No. 2 For being coy about Brewster is that he was vigorously for Taft, and is credited with at tempting to smear Eisenhower as “Stalin's stooge." ...... This smear was first printed by the partisan Republicans of Cali fornia. Later at a meeting at the home of Senator Brewster. Ralpn Masterson. chairman of Maine s Republican State committee, pro posed that the smear be maned throughout the state, with GO. state funds used for mailing i. As a result Senator Margaret Smith went on a state-wide rad’o network to denounce the "Stalins stooge" smear and vigorously de fended Eisenhower. Later also, Brewster made .. a statement that he knew nothing about the smear; claimed he was out of the room when Masterson, during the meeting in Brewster’s home, proposed that it be distribu ted. All of which leads Eisenhower advisers to figure that though the state of Maine raises a lot of po tatoes. this is the hottest one ever dumped in their laps. WASHINGTON PIPELINE V. R. Krishna Menon, Indian ambassador to the U. N.. has been interviewed by expert newsmen, has participated in vital ’U. N. de bates. But it took two college stu dents to make headlines with his real views on the U. S. and Korea. Helen Jean Rogers, a graduate of Catholic University and and El mer Paul Brock of La Salle College, were the two who quizzed Menon so thorough’ on Ruth Hagy's junior press conference TV pro gram that U.

The facts given below enabled Marcia to become pregnant within a month. Paste this Case Record in your scrapbook for future use, and add the vital bulletin named below to your private file. Case F-363: Marcia L.. aged 28, lias been married for three years. ’ Dr. Crane, we have wanted to have a baby,” she informed me an xiously, “but thus far I have never become pregnant. "Both my husband and I have been examined, and there doesn’t seem to be anything organically wrong with either of us. "I have prayed every night that I might have a baby. My periods for the last year have been 25. 27, 20. 28. 29. 26. 28, 28, 29, 28, and 27 days. : "Is there anything that you can suggest for us to try?” LATEST SEX FACTS There are thousands of cases like Marcia's where pregnancy can ensue by following the advice of fered today. Certain female animals, such as the rabbit, seem to ovulate at the moment of mating, regardless of the time of the month. Others, like the horse afid cow. apparently ovulate during a brief space of days in their physiological month. This is called the oestrus or "heat” period. But in monkeys, apes and man kind. the ovulation date is not im mediately associated with the oes trus. or menstrual period, nor is it produced by the act of mating. In the human female, for ex ample, the egg (ovum) is freed from tile woman’s ovary and sub ject to fertilization by the male, on approximately the 15th day ' before the onset of the next men strual period. Ovulation dates of monkeys and apes seem also to fall on the 14th or 15th days before the next oes trus. ACCIDENTAL STERILE! Y Over a period of a year, almost every normal woman will vary mmW f Youngest of Three Married Sis ters Wrestles With Mother-Care, Second Sister Won’t Help. DFAR MARI' HAWORTH: We are three sisters, married, with chil dren. When we married, we knew (as did our husbands) that we would have to support our mother in her old age. She is a widow, now 80, no longer mentally alert. My eldest s’ster Ada and I are employed to help defray the costs of living. Mother was living with Ada un til some months ago, when chcum- ( stances routed her to mv house hold. My second sister, Ruth, an Army wife, was going to Europe : and couldn't have her. My husband, Ned. is a veteran going to college on the GI bill, and we have two children. To economize, we were living in tiny cramped quarters on campus; but the university froVned on the over-crowding when mother joined us and told us to move as soon as we could. M.v sisters said they’d each pay one-third of the moving costs, and further agreed to give ten dollars monthly, each to mother’s main tenance. After we moved I sent each sister an itemized account of mother's routine exDenses and urg ed regularity in their payments. X reminded that our snecial outlay was more than double their com bined offering. Ada hasn’t missed a oavment but. Ruth responded hnffllv onlv after long delay and n-rdding. Then her husband took over. He wrote that he managed their finances and would send fifteen dollars weekly on a “purely bus iness bais.” This lasted two months; then lapsed. Ruth says they can’t afford to keep it ud now they’re expecting a fourth child. Yet Ralnh make over five hundred a month; and she snake of gift-shopping in her letter. They blame “this foolish notion of Ned’s education” for our economic straits; they say if he had a normal income we wouldn’t need help with mother. Now, re luctantly I ask what action to take to comnel them to share the bur den? We can’t, afford a lawyer. SITUATION i FOR EXPERT DEAR _V. R.: Your need first hand expert help with the'prnb'"m —help from a professional worker ; who is at once impartial and i r ’”Tipathetic to all parties concerned. : You may find such help by calling upon The Social Service League in i ycur county. Look for the telephone i number and address under the name of the county. Reputable social agencies such : as those typified by the well known 1 Family Service centers throughout l the nation are staffed -to ex ■ plore the full range of possibilities in a given- case with regard to slightly in her menstrual months. You will observe that Marcia fluctuated between 25 and 29 day. On her 26 days cycle, the ovulation date would be the 11th from the last onset (26 minus 15), while on. a 29-day cycle, it would be the 14thlJ 129-15). It is also customary to allow an extra three days on each side of the ovulation date, so Marcia's likely pregnancy period would this run from the Bth to the 17th, but the 12th, 13th and 14th would very likely suffice. Some investigators believe that the egg (ovum) is not capable of being fertilized for more than 24 hours at most, while the spermatozoa may, be ineffective after 12 hours. ' It is obvious, therefore, that pregnancy might not occur between two healthy people, unless this 12- hour preiod were struck. Such a wife’s sterility may thus be acci dental. PREGNANCY FACTS Until comparatively recently, however, these facts were not known to the human race. Mill ions of your readers have never encountered them before, unless* you have read this column regu-» larly. You can well appreciate, there fore, the great contribution of a free press to the scientific know ledge and welfare of the commu nity. If your progressive editor j didn’t give you these facts, most V of your might never meet them j again. ( Almost every day I receive letters from couples who have never pre- « viously bee nable to have a baby* but who now write that the wifeU is pregnant from following the simple advice mentioned ab*ve. An alkaline douche also seems to be helpful in insuring concep tion, so it is another aid to wives like Marcia. For further information on this subject, send for my emdicopsy chological bulletin, “FACTS A BOUT PREGNANCY," enclosing a stamped return envelope, a dime. . » If there is no organic obstacle to” pregnancy, then these additional facts may enable wivfes to conceive. caring for aged dependents. I’ve been sampling the subject with a spokesman for a local agency who indicates some of the ground that might be covered in mobilizing maximum help for you. As a widow, your mother may qualify for certain modest pecun iary benefits that she’s not receiving (• due to failure to apply for them. As, for instance, “survivors’ insur ance” from federal funds accrued (as social security) during her husband's working years. Or a sub sistence allowance at this time from the Board of Public Welfare in the jurisdiction where she most recently lived for a year or longer. POSSIBLE WAYS OF EASING LOAD Your letter, here cut to one-fourth ( its original length, reflected a pat- v tern of sharp anxiety and ag gressive distrust of Ruth’s inten tions, as you tried from the first to pin her down to cooperate —a hectoring attitude which tended to alienate rather than to capture her support, and this is a conflict that the good social worker would try to relieve, perhaps by getting , in touch with Ruth, in a friendly t spirit, through Family Service rep- f resentatives in Ruth’s city so aa to 8 hear her side of the story. > 4 It may be that such home care \ as you can give isn’t the best .pos- ( sible provision for your mother, , inasmuch as you are a working mother of two children, with a student husband strained by debts. Thus consideration should be given to “convalescent home” care spec - , ially geared to the comfort of elderly persons, my consultant sug gests. The cost of'this arrangement varies, but in the suburbs and 1 country communities it is moder- ' ately priced as a rule, and there’s a chance it’s within your means if all resources are pooled.

Between 1939 and 1952, sales of American-made wines soared from 63,000,000 gallons to 130,000,000 gallons, he said, and the potential for increase of wine consumption “is unlimited and no saturation point is in sight.” Sichel said almost half of all k families in the United States now (J use wine and since 1948 the num ber of such families has grown 25 per cent.
