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

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

Pittsburgh, Feb. 27—(iP)—More than a half million workers are

That includes the 372,000 United Mine Workers who show no

ident, John L. Lewis.
Another 180,000 will be out of work in coal-allied industries.
— The nation's coal stockpile is near the vanishingl point.

Th«y told of the suicide bomb

Thcjse are the facts, they said:
Th*! H-Bomb, as conceived in

It would take only 500 tons of

Thpre still are two hopeful facts.:
One is that it may not be pos

bomb.
“It has not been made—it has
not even been conceived definitely

said. ^
He estimated it would take at
least thfree ° years before it is

be big and heavy.
How to deliver It by plane or

problem. j , . : j
