Dr. Massler was speaking before the District of Columbia Dent Society in Washington occasioned by servance of National Children’s Den Health Day. What Dr. Massler said will cause even oldsters to reflect on their youth and wonder if their present day idiosyncrasies are a result ;of childhood nail biting or thumb sucking. Said Dr. Massler: “Nail biting in no way harms the teeth. But the parents can be sure of one thing. The child won’t give Up the habit. He just transfers it into another, and eventually becomes a lollypop sucker, a gum chewer, a pencil biter, a lip blt-nr lips) er—all fort hood.’ “if he end, Dood Mass biting harmless fia W y’ Two Legged Dears Often Have Buck Teleth a lip ft pair ill these that th itfcl .^Irler, or oven a cigar amoji habits offer some of the cor umb sucking gave in child- push the teet you ha iknow, your hands.

RDTC Cited The report centers on the activities of Reserve Officers Training units, military science teaching, research contracts with Universities, and what it sees as a trend toward putting military men in high edu cational places, exemplified by Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower's appoint ment as Columbia’s president. Citing “the desperate need for World peace’’, the group says edu cation can provide the needed leadership in that direction only through “the spirit of free inquiry unhampered by narrow military consider ations.” 1 ' It adds that “whenever military secrecy becomes important to a college, the political opinion of students and professors, and their associations, become important and may be the basis for their invest!-' gation and dismissal.” Dependence on Military The report says that in some colleges military subsidy of research has led to such inquiries and has placed some schools in a position of dependence upon military funds for their existence. The group complains that “warmaking is taught in more than a hundred colleges, each of which has its department of military science ' and tactics, while only two or three colleges in the country have speci fic courses in, or departments of peace.” Half Million Men Idled As Coal Strike Drags Pittsburgh, Feb. 27—(iP)—More than a half million workers are idle today because of the soft coal strike. * : That includes the 372,000 United Mine Workers who show no sign of ending their defiance to the government and their union pres ident, John L.

Biophysicist, and Dry Harrison Brown, Chemist, both of til# University of Chicago. Th«y told of the suicide bomb in a University of Chicago round table broadcast, over NBC, origin ating here. Thcjse are the facts, they said: Th*! H-Bomb, as conceived in theory, would create huge amounts of atomic particles Called neutrons. These neutrons Can change harm less atoms, like cobalt qr carbon, or mofst anything, into TS 1 poisonous atoms. It would take only 500 tons of heavy hydrogen. In one H-bomb or several to make & dust that would kill everyone in the world, Dr. Szilarjd declared. It would release 50 tons of neu trons, he said. This would be enough to make a radioai that would settle over t! The dust wjould stay lethal live years. ; . 4',[/ Ary nation could threaten to use such a bomb, in aj sujcide- for-averyone ultimatum to get what it wanted, tpe Scientists agreed. Bombs might be rigged to pro duce dusts (j>f short or long kill ing power,j j ,/f On* of these might be used in hopes of only poisoning n certain count:-y orf area, the scientists said. J \ But the stumbling'blorjK here Is Adioactiye, that It might back fir#. Getting the dust Just to fall one area would! ivipilre lots exact knowledge; of wind weather, - ' Woatber acl#ncti lan^t that . It Is known th«t the prevail It winds blow westerly around, t 1 world. Such high-altitude wlr could spread the dust from a gop- oral suicide bomb everywhere. Exploded In the , Pacific, dusts would probably first affd the western coast bf th# Unit States. One hydrogen bomb, not rig-r J ged for dust-production, wouldr n’t create much danger. It would make nitrogen and oaiV, bon in the surrounding air radio-; betive. But a lot of the Hr bo mbs. used in a war, could create a 5,000-year carbon dust "that would make life impossible,". Dr. Bethc said. / ", Thpre still are two hopeful facts.: One is that it may not be pos sible ever to make a hydroge bomb. “It has not been made—it has not even been conceived definitely 7 how it will be made,” Dr. Betho said. ^ He estimated it would take at least thfree ° years before it is known whether, an H-bomb would be big and heavy. How to deliver It by plane or guided missile might be a tough problem. j , . : j Bell Addresses Packing Meet met Iona of Llviftatock (it idiblle mijrtwlt!
