The Washington-Merry-Go-Round — Russians Have More Respect for Our Air Power Than Some at Home’—General Clay By DREW PEARSON Teeth for Children Sodium flourine, the magic chemical that helps prevent teeth decay in children, now is in general use throughout the country. President Truman was informed this week by offic-* ials of the American Dental association. Virtually all den. tists are using it to various ex tents, chiefly on school chil dren. “I’m mighty glad to hear that progress is being made,” the president told a delegation led by Dr. Clyde M. Minges, of Rocky Mount, N. C., presi dent of the American Dental association. “I’ve been very in terested in sodium flourine since the public health service first revealed its amazing qual ities.” Then the President added with a smile: “It would be a wonderful thing if we could shed our teeth when they start bothering us and grow a brand new' set. Truman premised io gire serious thought" to a propos al by Dr. Minges and his 9. colleagues that he proclaim a national children's dental health day next February to stimulate greater interest in the care of teeth by school children and their parents. NOTE: The Washington Mer ry-Go-Ruund on March 5 first reported the amazing progress of the public health service in using sodium flourine to pre serve children’s teeth, and gave credit to Congressman Frank Keefe, Wisconsin Republican, for helping the public health service. It was reported that sodium flourine would save about 50 percent of the chil REGIS r HOTEL All Rooms with Bath OMAHA Horn# of th* Popular White Horse Inn and Cafe Regis dren’s teeth from decay. At that time the American Dental association’s journal was critical both of this col umn and the public health ser vice for publishing this claim, but ADA officials now admit that painting children’s teeth with sodium flourine at prop er intervals when under tne age of 13 will preserve them in about 40 per cent of the cases. • • • No War'—Clay Powder-Keg-Sitting Gen. Lu cius Clay expects the Russians to intensify the cold war, but to stop short of a shooting war. Talking privately to visit ing congressmen from the house armed services com mittee, Clay predicted that the Russians would haunt Europe with t)ie specter of war. but would not light their cause on the open bat tlefield. Their game is to stir up chaos and fear, as a breeding ground for Com munism. The general admitted, how ever, that a misfire in this delicate battle of nerves could easily precipitate a war. Greatest factor holding Rus sia back is American air pow er, Clay said, despite the fact that he is a ground soldier. “The Russians have more re I spect for our air power than isome of us at home have," he declared. The constant droning of the Berlin airlift in Russian ears has only increased that re spect, he added, and, at the same time, impressed the rest of Europe. It is Clay’s belief that Russia wants to test whether the airlift can survive the winter before backing down from the Berlin block ade. Clay told the congressmen that the Communists are going from door to door in Berlin as systematically as magazine ! subscription salesmen, trying to scare individuals into the Communist camp At night their threats are backed up with kidnappings and acts of terror, hundreds of individuals have disappeared forever be I hind the iron curtain. * • • Bouncing Bob Butler For years controveisy has raged inside the state depart ment regarding the relative merits of the career md the fiolitical diplomat.

So, also, political np- . pointees resent the lack of im agination, the routine view point of many career diplo- > mats. One political ambassador who got cuffed around at first is bouncing Bob But ler, the former St. Paul. Minn., shipbuilder, who be came U. S. ambassador to Australia. Today, however, Butler is ambassador to Cuba and doing an A-l job. Not only does he have the warmth and human quality which some career dip lomats lack—and which Latin Americans love—but he has imagination. It was Butler who conceived the important idea of bringing President Prio of Cuba up to the United States on a good-will visit. Good will between the Unit ed States and our Latin neigh bors is something which needs a lot of working at. Since Statesman Sumner Welles got out of the state department it has been woefully neglected. But today, energetic, likable Bob Bufler is doing a great job of warming up our good neighbor policy—which is a lot more important than deciding who should sit where at din ner.

Preliminary bouts in all class es will be held the first night, January 26, with the semifi nals and the finals being run off January 27. The tournament this year will be a wide open affair as there will be no returning class champions. Bill Tanne hill, winner of last year’s fly weight devision, is the only returning class champion and he will move up into the ban tam weight division this year. Under a recent ruling by the AAU, contestants this year must enter the Golden Gloves tournament closest to their le gal place of residence, so the 1949 tournament will be strict ly for boys from Northeast Nebraska.

Try Frontier Want Advs! Yuletide Season Is Festive One By A. STROLLER PHOENIX, ARIZ., Dec. 21.— This is the last week before Christmas and this city is i aglaze with the beauty and animation of the season. The writer has always from early childhood been fascinat ed by the Christmas season. As a child, he lived in North ern Michigan, where snow, ( cold weather and evergreen trees, growing on the hills,' made a fitting background for the event and he has also ! spent many years in the rigor- j i OUS climate of the Midwest. | He has a vivid recollection of j the Yuletide in that kind of a dotting. Well, in a big city like Phoenix, situated as it is. in a mild winter climate, Christmas is th* same joy ous event as it is in a cold climata and tho season is just as lively and colorful except for the snow. Thera is no snow in Phoenix at at th# Yuletide although the weather is crisp and snappy. The writer has spent sever 1 Winters in Phoenix and the (icture of the city at this sea on is a brilliant one. The treets of the business dis rict are beautifully decorat d there is a Christmas tree, overed by bright lights and irnaments, in every store and hop window, there are great lisplays of holidays goods and rast crowds of shoppers and he home of the city also wear i festive air. . One feature of the Chnst nas season which the writer ikes especially in Phoenix is he music. One hears the old, amiliar strains of the Christ nas carols in many places iowntown and many of the I 'hurches present special mu ical programs during the sea ion, including the famous ■antatas and oratorios. Last Sunday evening, foe instance. Central Methodist church presented "The Mes siah," sung by a choir of many voices and a number of soloists. It was very fine, as are various other productions in the churches at this season. There is special thought for ;he poor and unfortunate at Christmas time in this city and ^ou can hear the tinkle of the Salvation Army bells as they keep their “pots boiling” on the corners. Yes, Christmas is a busy, lively and fascinating season in a city like Phoenix; but, after al, about the only dif ference between the event here an din smaller communities is that it is staged on a big ger scale. The spirit is the same. ROYAL THEATER O'NEILL ★ ★ ★ THURSDAY - JAN. 6 Robert Hutton. Joyce Rey nolds, and Janis Paige in Wallflower They called her a Wallflow er .. . but Oh how she bloomed!!!
