Mrs. Marie L. Sheebe, Rockville, 111., national president of the American Legion Auxiliary, pins the first 1950 poppy on President Trumans lapel at a White Honse ceremony. The Legion poppy sale, proceeds of which go to disabled veterans, begins May 27. 4MS RACE: Suicide Road A solemn warning that an arms .1 U 'tee between the United States and T Russia beckons annihilation was Issued by Dr. Albert Einstein. Appearing on a television show, Einstein, hailed as the world's greatest mathematician and one of the great physicists of the world, declared the arms contest now underway is assuming "hysterical proportions on both sides. ONE of the chief contributors to the final development of the atomic bomb, Einstein declared that the means to mass destruction are perfected with feverish haste behind the respective walls of secrecy. The H bomb appears on the public horizon as a probably attainable goal and its accelerated development has been solemnly proclaimed by the President. Then he uttered the punch line: Armed security is an illusion If successful, radioactive poisoning of the atmosphere and hence annihilation of any life on earth has been brought within the rang of technical possibilities To implement that conclusion, he aid: "The ghostlike character of this development lies in its apparently compulsory trend. Every step appears as the unavoidable consequence of the preceding one. In the and, there beckons more and more and more general annihilation. FEW MEN could speak with more compelling authority on that subbrilliant-ayeject than the white-hairevenerable scientist who has contributed so much to the sum of man's knowledge. But each time civilization has been wont to attempt annihilation through war, there has been little disposition to listen to those voices who would cry out a warning. Crime A With CHECK-U- P 14 Strikes vs. Courts If the recent coal strike did nothing else, it may have set in motion forces that will bring about a determination for all time of the power of the courts of the land to deal with big walkouts. It is true that John L. Lewis, under pressure of the law, capitulated and ordered the miners back to work; but when he gave the order the miners were defiant and no one knew whether they would return to the pits in sufficient numbers to ease the production situation. in the THE BIG QUESTION minds of most Americans was: What can be done about it? If the miners didnt want to work, who could make them return to the pits? In this still-fre- e land, men can work or quit without penalty under the layv. But could their union be punished because its members quit as a group, since the law says a union is responsible for the acts of its agents. If that were the attempted remedy, the question surely would be raised: Were the miners acting as individuals in pursuit of their individual rights in working, or must they be regarded as agents of the union m their decision? It was a torturous question and one certain to provide a classic case for the courts. Of course if Lewis and the operators, under order of the court to resume bargaining, were to reach an agreement, the question would become a moot one. But under the recurrent stress of coal strikes and usually at a time when coal stockpiles are lowest the result may be the writing of some new law, or approach to break up the continual crises which hamstring production and mtrib-ut- e to widespread unemployment and consequent suffering. metropolitan newspapers taking a careful scrutiny of its operations, and the federal government opening a conference on what to do about it, U.S. crime appeared to have fallen on evil days. Not for decades had the boys who deal in shady enterprises has so much publicity focused upon them. Names were being called, police officials were getting the treatment, wire services were ripping telephones out of A-Test bookie joints and, all In all, it appeared to be a real blow into which revolt v the craft of crime was wallowing THE PRESS would be the real instrument of exposure, granted that officialdom in cities included really wanted to clean up the undesirable conditions. For example. New York citys fabulous Frank Costello, often called the king of the rackets, was the first target of the newspaper series. Costello was referred to as a fellow so unbelievable he might have been dreamed up by a Hollywood script The story attempted to writer. link him with gambling activities over most of the U S. One significant line m the first of the newspapers series was this: Gambling cant operate for any period unless the police let it operate. Nor can the other rackets. THAT was so obviously axiomatic that there could be no argument with it, and honest cops over the nation had to take the rap with the Maj. Gen. Robert M.

Not the same bulls, naturally, but each year the Yakena village tournament is run off something in the style of a World Series, or an Army-Nav- y grid game, with bulls being pitted against each other. In the most recent tourney, II pairs of bulls were selected. The east villagers had 11 and the west villagers had 11. The rivals' colors were painted on the bulls' horns. The bulls were led into a fenced ring, two at a time. They even had organized cheering sections which got into the ring beat too. They blew horns, drums and rang gongs. The bulls met horn to horn and butted each other around for 10 to 30 minutes By that time one of the bulls showed a decided lack of Interest Its only hope was to trot over the fence to safety, or flop down then and there. Whereupon, the rooters of the champion bull danced about the ring. The owners of the winning bulls got prizes cloth, farm tools, money and a fancy market price for their animals.

According to a statement released by CARE relief officals here, Lamberto Maggioranl, had been unemployed for more than 10 e screen months, despite his fame. His three children, it was said, usually go to bed with only glass of milk for supper, Maggioranl, whose fall from the peak of film stardom was as speedy as his ascent, worked for 18 years in the Breda munitions plant near Rome. In May, 1948, Italian director Vitlorfo de Sica chose him for the starring role in the much heralded Bicycle Thief. When the picture was completed, Maggioranl collected a total of $960 and returned to his machinist bench. He was laid off last spring when Breda dismissed nearly 65 er cent of its employees. I cannot say the film cost me my Job," CARE quoted Maggioranl as saying, but I do think that if I had not started with the movie, perhaps- ,- after 18 years, Breda would have kept me on." Since the lay-of- f he has had two temporary Jobs 15 days on a movie lot and a month and a half as a bricklayer at about $2 a day.

' WTS. Love triumphs over many obstacles, even the beatings that some Milwaukee housewives take from their husbands. District Judge Harvey L. Neelen often insists on punishing wife beaters, despite the fact that some wives don't want to press the charges. They were as much to blame as their husbands, they say, for the lickings they got. Take the little woman who appeared before the Judge not long ago as the complainant in an assault and battery action against were her husband. Her eye blackened and her lips puffed. Mike la a good man at heart, she pleaded. He just doesnt realize his strength." He certainly inflicted severe injuries on you, said the Judge. He really didn't hit me. she answered. I Just happened to get in his way and he brushed me. She asked that the charge be withdrawn. Judge Neelen postponed the case to the end of the year, saying that he would dismiss the charge if the husband amended his ways. he Its up to you to make good," If you mistreat told the man. your wife at any time up to the end of the year. Ill reopen the case and impose sentence." The case turned out all right and Judge Neelen dismissed it, along with some 250 others which he had postponed to the year's end. Beside assault and battery, charges in those cases were drunkenness, disvagrancy and orderly conduct, abandonment. In all those Cases, a court appearance had a chastening effect on the husband. No further complaints were made against any of the defendants the rest of the year.
