Annoyed because her teenage
daughter had been calling her
boy friend too often, the mother
posted a sign on the telephone
reading:
"Is this call necessary?”
The next day, pencilled on the
card, there appeared a reply,
brief and to the point.
“How can I tell til I’ve made

"Sure, the Vietnam war has prevented us from doing
things for you people, but one GOOD thing—it hasn't
stopped us from getting to the- MOON!"
N :
If you are planning to move
and tend to cry easily, the next
few months may be a tough
time for you. Summer is the
peak period for moving from
on home to another and friends
and neighbors who undergo the
experience are bound to fill
your ears with tales of woe.
Anyone who moves seems to
come away from the experience
with a sad tale to tell. Some
of the stories are positively
heart - breaking.
The most heart breaking of
these are being repeated in
Washington these days and are
getting a sympathetic hearing
from congressional committees
and the Interstate Commerce
Commission. There is pretty
general agreement that the fre-
quently shoddy treatment offer-
ed to the citizen on the move
has deteriorated even further of
late.
There’s no guarantee that ei-
ther the ICC or Congress is go-
ing to be able to make much
of a dent in the practices of
those who transport household
goods. And even if they do, the
effects are not apt to be felt
for some time.
Meanwhile, if you have to
move your family from one
home to another, you’ll have to
do the best you can to defend
yourself under current condi-
tions. Here are a few tips you
should find helpful:
. .Pick a slow season. All other
things being equal, the worst
time to move is during the sum-
mer months, particularly in
thn-e weeks just before school
begins.
Trying to move in the sum-
mer is like trying to get tic-
kets for ovening night. Every-
one else is trying, too. This
makes it hard to reserve the
time you want, hard to deal
with people already overworked
and hard to get the move made
efficiently when the company is
shot - handed.
There’s no certainty that your
move will be made more easily
in January than in July, but
the odds run that way.
DISCOUNT estimates. There
is great confusion about cost es-
timates in interstate moves. In-
experienced customers tend to
regard thom ns hids, and often
choose the firm that submits
the lowest figure. Estimators,
of course, know better, but do
little to educate the customer
since it. may only lose them a
contract.
The only purpose of the esti-
mate is to provide you and the
shipper with some idea of the
size and cost of the shipment.
Since all interstate carriers le-
vv identical charges for shin
ning, based on the weight of
the ehinment, the figure is not
a hid.
BE adequately insured. While
it is true that damage to your
mnnds is onlv nne of the manv
hazards yo face when you
hire a mover, it is the onlv one
you can insure vourself awainst,
so it’s wise to do so. You can’t,
however, simolv rely on the Car-
rie’s coverage.
His liability is limited to RO
per cent per pound for itams
lost or damaged. This is fine
if he loses one of your garbage
cans, but for a six-pound radio
it is ridiculous. If the radio cost
$5 dl you’d get back would be
$3.60.
You can huv adecuate cover-
age bv naving an extra fee. It
can be bought either through
the shinner himself, or from an
indenendent insurance breker.
Keen your eves enen. W*an
thev are loading the van, Innk
and see what’s going in. Mov-
ers have been known to care-
fu”v nark firewood and then for
get the lawnmower. Take care-
fe nete, tno. Of the condition
of every item.
When the time comes to nff-
load, examine all items care-
fully and ask the driver to sign
your list of articles that show
signs of transit damage.
The
Almanac
By United Press International
Today is Monday, July 14, the
195th day of 1969 with 170 to
follow.
The moon is new.
The morning stars are
Mercury, Venus and Saturn.
The evening stars are Mars
and Jupiter.
On this day in history:
In 1798 Congress passed the
Sedition Act, making it a crime
to publish any “false, scanda-
lous and malicious” writings
against the government, Con-
gress or the President.
Thirty-Two and Still Growing
‛ The All - American Soap Box Derby, which has
become as essential an ingredient of summer as
sunshine itself, is bigger than ever in this, its 32nd
running since its inauguration in 1934.
A record high of 260 boys from throughout the
United States, Canada and overseas will compete in
this year’s event at famed Derby Downs in Akron,
Ohio. Thousands of others will pit their coster-car
building and racing skills in local run-offs in the
coming weeks.
The competition is again being endorsed by many
cities as a major recreation program for youths,
including 31 new cities for the first time. The Army,
Navy and Air Force are co-operating with Derby
officials in programs for dependent children on mili-
tary installations from the Canal one to the Philip-
pines. Along with Chevrolet dealers, sponsors include
130 Jaycee chapters, 103 newspapers, 41 radio sta-
tions, 31 television stations and 30 Optimist Clubs.
Climax of soap box summer will be the world
finals in Akron on August 23, when local champions
race for a share of $30,000 in college scholarships
and national fame.
It s a cute public relations gimmick (underground
papers underground, get it?) but it could be dan-
gerous. A lot of square folks, getting their first glimpse
at what the switched-on ger eration is up to, might
just decide not to come back out of the caves.
Undergruond Library
A library of underground newspapers has been es-
tablished at Meramec Caverns near Staton, Mo. Tour-
ists can peruse these way-out publications of the
hippie-student-protest subculture while waiting to go
on tours.

Lesson In English
Words often misused: Do not
say, “As for myself, I’m not
too much concerned.” It is bet-
ter to say, “As for me.”
Often mispronounced : Bon-
homie (good nature. Pronounce
bahn-oh-me, accent on f inal
syllable.
Often misspelled: Mosquitoes,
“oes.” Mementos; “cs.”
Synonyms: Appetite, craving,
desire, thirst, relish, liking,
longing, passion, proneness, ten-
dency.
Word study: “Use a word
three times aand it is yours.”
Let us increase our vocabulary
by mastering one word each
day. Today’s word: Magnilo-
quent; speaking pompously;
bombastic. “How much longer
must we listen to this magnilo-
quent fellow?”
Law Bares Awful Truth In Lending
* Gradually, some significant defenses are being put
in the hands of consumers to even up the odds in
the marketplace. Latest of these is the Truth-in-
Lending Act (actually, Title I of the Consumer Pro-
tection Act of 1968), which went into effect on July 1.
Anyone who buys on the installment plan, who
uses "revolving credit” at a department store or
who takes out a personal loan—and nearly all Ameri-
eans are included in at least one of these categor-
ies—will benefit from the new law.
Lenders must now provide their customers with
full and complete information about the cost of cre-
dit they buy (and credit is what you buy along
with any particular product or service you do not
For instance, the next department store bill you
get will have a new look and will specify, for the
first time, just what that "small service” charge of
1 per cent you have been paying every month
amounts to in true annual interest. It is a not-so-
small 18 per cent.
The hope is that, armed with the knowledge of
what credit will cost them, whether the item in
question is a car, a refrigerator or a tree-year
bank loan, consumers will be in a better position to
make purchase decisions and to shop for the best
deal.
Another section of the law affects contracts involv-
ing a real estate lien, second mortgage or security
Interest in a person’s house. This has been a par-
ticularly vicious racket among wheelers and dealers
preying on the naive or ignorant people of the ghet-
to. A customer with second thoughts may now cancel
such a contract within three days, without penalty
or loss of down payment.
But actual protection provided in the law in mini-
mal, cautions Consumers Union. Bankers, merchants
and door-to-door salesmen will keep on promoting
credit at least as aggressively as before. Debt can
continue to be merchandised with indifference to
the borrower’s ability to pay. State laws will con-
tinue to be weighted in favor of lenders. Undoubtedly,
unforeseen loopholes in the law will turn up.
And for many of those who are hooked on the
credit way of life, the next statement from the
friendly finance company may well elicit a reaction
like, “Ugh! I’d just as soon you hadn’t told me.”
Bradley.
D. Appointed Charles A. Balm
as a federal Judge in Chicago
on Dirksen’s recommendation
though Judge Jacob Braud sta-
tes Bairn is antisemitic.
E. Secured key jobs for such
friends as Robert Podesta as
assistant secretary of com-
merce; James Hittie as assis-
tant secretary of the Navy;
James Smith as Farm Home
Administrator; and John Chap-
man as deputy General Services
administrator.
SKEPTICAL PRESS
The power of Ev Dirksen in
a Republican Administration
has caused some Republican
newspapers to take a new look
at him. They have decided that
Ev isn’t the delightful, harm-
less, vaudeville performer who
once needled Democratic Pre-
sidents, but, rather, a roadblock
in the path of a new Repub-
lican Administration.
So far no Republican paper
has really let loose on Ev,
partly because he was sudden-
ly emerged as a friend of the
failing newspaper bill. Last
year he opposed this bill on
the ground that it was an ex-
emption from the antitrust act.
But this year, anxious to curry
favor with the press he’s now
selling his column to, he has
reversed himself.
Such is the delightful and wily
senator entrusted with leading
the fortunes of the Republican
Party in the Senate, who seems
able to have his way, no matter
what the issue, with Richard
Nixon. Sooner or later, however
Nixon will have to choose be-
tween Ev Dirkson and the
energetic Republican senators
who are trying - with some
success - to breathe new life
into the Grand Old Party in
the politically powerful cities
of the north.
FRANKING AND ABM
The question of just how far
a senator can go in using his
free mailing privileges has
been raised by an ABM pro-
paganda campaign by Sen. Bob
Dole, the handsome Kansas Re-
publican.
Bob is gung - ho for the anti-
ballistic missile system. He is
fellow Republican from Kansas
Jim Pearson, is equally against.
Pearson has been subjected to
intense pressure from th Ni-
zon Administration to change
his vote, including a warning
from a Wichita airplane manu-
facturer that Pentagon orders
would be cut off unless Pearson
votes right.
In contrast, Sen. Dole has
been sending out literature for
the ABM in which he solicits
funds on behalf of the “Ameri-
can Security Council.”
Furthermoree, Sen. Dole has
been mailing this literature out-
side the state of Kansas. Ths
use of the free franking privi-
lege to raise funds would appear
to be unethical, possibly ille-
gal, though the law is not clear,
ganda use of the franking privi
panda use of the franking privi-
lege outside a senator’s state
raises some questions.
Last year the Post Office
tried to collect postage from
Sens. Robert Griffin of Michi-
gan and Charles Percy of Ill-
innie both Republicans for
what it considered flagrant mis-
use of the franking privilege.
Griffin immediately claimed he
was being persecuted and put
up such a squawk that the Post
Office finally dropped the mat-
ter, saying that it was up to
the individual senator to in-
terpret the law for himself.
What Sen. Dole has heen do-
ing is mailing tearsheets of a
full • page ad published by the
American Security Council with
an appeal for contributions from
$10 up to $1,000 to put across
the ABM system.
In other words, Sen. Dole is
not only voting for the ABM but
is spending other people’s mon-
ey to collect more money to
fight for the ABM. And he’s
doing it outside the state of
Kansas.

WASHINGTON-Sooner or la-
ter President Nixon has got to
decide whether he’s going to
stick with the vigorous and
growing liberal wing of the
Republican Party or with the
hoary oldsters led by that dra-
matic apostle of reaction
Everett McKinley Dirksen of
Illinois. The President can’t do
a balancing act between the two
much longer.
Already Senate GOP liberals
are getting restless. The party
elected some promising young
senators last November, most
of them from states where the
Negro - Labor - Progressive
vote is heavy, and they know
they can’t get reelected if they
don’t revitalize the Grand Old
Party under an up -to - date
image.
Tha’s why Sen. Charles Good-
ell of New York, one of the
bright stars among the new
Republicans, called Dirksen an
"obstructionst," thereby caus-
ing the old basso profundo from
Illinois to sound off for 40 min-
utes against Godell at a pri-
vate luncheon.
Goodell stuck to his guns,
however.
"No one man should be per-
mitted to veto a presidential ap-
pointment,” be said after Dr.
John Knowles was blocked as
assistant secretary of HEW by
Dirksen and the AMA. "Yet
the American Medical Associa-
tion and the minority leader
(Dirksen) how have succeeded
in such a veto.”
That’s also who voting Sen.
Charles Mathias of Maryland
rmarked that the revolt has
"alreadv begun:” and why Sen.
Hugh Scott of Pennsylvania,
former chairman of the GOP
National Committee and assis-
tant to Dirksen as GOP whip,
warned: "How much more of
this before there is a liberal
GOP rebellion? Not very much.
Sen. Scott did not mention
Dirksen. He didn’t have to.
For in case after case the
Tuba - toned senator from HI-
nois has gone directly counter
to his President and each time
b!' Presiont has retreated. Here
is the roll call of Dirksen victor-
lea:
DIRKSEN VICTORIES
1. Dirksen axed a revision of
the Fonont Centrol Act barring
trade with Communist ccun-
tries just at a time when his
President was planning a trin
to Romania, a countrywhich
we have encouraged to be inde-
nendnet and which wants more
than anything else trade with
the USA.
Sens. Ed Muskle. Me., and
Walter Mondale, Minn., had
worked out a liberalized East-
West trade policy, but Dirksen
reacted as if the nation was in
dire peril. Quickly, Nixon re-
treated. Meanwhile Japan, West
Comanv and ether American
allies continue doing a thriving
business selling goods to Com-
muniet cnuntrios, which Ameri-
can merchants under the old
law cannot do.
2. Dirksen is the sole Senate
fc-rce pushing for a constitution-
al convention in order to re-
verse the Supreme Court's one-
man one - vote ruling for the
reapportionment of state legis-
latures. Many state legislatures
have alreadv reaprorticned and
find that the ruling gives a
much fairer break to the suburb
and big cities, most of them in
dire trouble from lack of legisla-
tin "o--oeentation.
Yet Dirksen persists in de-
manding that a constitutional
convention be called for the
first time, since 1787 to revamn-
Iha ronetitntion nf Ceorg. Wrash-
innton and Thomas Jefferson
to his own taete.
Most of Sen. Dirksen’s Senate
colleagues are so scared of this
move that Sen. S^m Ervin of
North Farolina. a former jude
■nd a conservative Democrat,
has introduced legislation aimed
at heading Dirksen off.
Despite this, the alleged Sen-
ate leader of the Nixon Ad-
ministration threatens to tack
his consitvtional convention bill
ono a bill confirming Ex-Sec-
retarv Robert McNamara to be
a director of the Smithsonian
Institution.
3. The Dirksen Roadblock of
Dr. Knowles is too recent to
require review here. But this
was only part of a list presi-
dential appointments which Dir-
ksen has either engineered or
blocked. They include:
A. Boosted Otto Otepka, only
government servant ever found
guilty of violating presiential
serrritv whn was promoted as
a reward for doing so.
B. Fired Cliff Alexander, Ne-
gro chairman of the Equal Em-
ployment Opportunities Commis-
sion
C. Fired William Driver, most
efficient veterans administrator
to serve since Gen. Omar
A Physician
By Wayne G. Brandstadt, M. D.
NEA
Q—My son. 13, had histo-
plasmosis last year. Is this a
new disease? How is it trans-
mitted? Once you recover, can
you gea it again? Does it leave
scars on the lungs?
A—This is not a new disease,
but it is still relatively uncom-
mon. It is caused by inhaling
the spores of a fungus. These
spores are found in dust from
soil that is contaminated by the
droppings of chickens, flying
birds and bats. An attack con-
fers some immunity for awhile,
but heavy exposure to the fun-
gus may cause a recurrence.
As is the case with tugerculo-
sis, some scars may remain in
the lungs but the recovered
victim is not handicapped by
them.
Q—When my daughter 9,
turns her head from side to
side there is a cracking sound.
What causes this? What is the
treatment?
A—A cracking or grating
sound in any joint is usually
due to a roughening of the op-
posing surfaces or to a tendon
snapping across a bony promi-
nence. The best treatment is
avoidance of sudden movements
of the involved joint.
Q—What is a hemangioma?
What would cause it in a
newborn baby? Is there any
cure for it?
A—This is a type of mole
made up of blood vessels. The
cause is unknown. Most of them
disappear spontaneously within
two or three years. But, if at
any time the mole seems to be
getting larger, it should be
treated ata once. It can be made
to disappear by using an elec-
tric needle, the application of
carbon dioxide snow or, accord-
ing to a recent report, by giv-
ing the child a course of pred-
nisone by mouth.
Q—My son, 5, sleeps with his
mother who is a very loud
snorer. Will all that noise dam-
age his hearing in time
A—There is little danger that
the snoring will damage your
son's hearing but I would strong-
ly advise giving him his own
room before he is ,6.
Q—Our son, 9, has psoriasis
on his hands and face. He goes
to the doctor’s office for special
light treatments. Could these be
given at home?
A—A sun lamp (ultraviolet
light) has a beneficial effect
on the lesions of psoriasis. If
you purchase such a lamp, you
should follow the accompanying
instructions very carefully.
