Strong I 7 fH Yy In the Lanza Case public officials placed microphone in a cell and listened into the conversation of a prisoner and his counsel, an act that is clearly unconstitutional and against which all bar associations ought to protest if they are not too timid to raise their voices in defense of the Constitution. When law-enforcement officers violate the law they are as guilty as the worst offender and ought not to be protected. It ought to be made clear who picked Frank Costello's pocket and why. It is not important to defend Lanza or Costello; it is important to preserve constitutional rights. Law enforcement grows increasingly more difficult, as crime becomes more businesslike and complicated, more thoroughly organized and more protected by the law.

For be it known that just as the law-enforcement agencies seek legislation to prevent and put down crime, so do the forces of organized crime find means to use the law advantageously and there are lawyers anil courts to protect them. In such a case as the one now pending against Frank Costello, (It; situation actually is this: Costello was in the lobby of i own apartment house, engaged in no criminal activity, but like the honest burglar, was returning to his domicile from a public restaurant, whereupon a punk walked up to him and sought to kill him but failed in the attempt. Costello was taken to a hospital where it was found that he was suffering from a slight scab wound which was soon mended. He was interrogated bv the police but chose silence. Some time during the interrogation, the police came into possession of a slip of paper which to them and other experts indicated that Costello was engaged in gambling.

Because be would not exolain to law officers or to a grand iurv, he was arrested on the charge of contpmot of court. All of this is normal except the piece of naper is his property and uoon it the law-enforcement agencies can onlv act bv due process. The punk who tried to kill Costello is either free or dead, but Costello is in jail for being shot at. It has been said that Frank Costello is to a degree, possibly to a startling degree, a creature of newspapermen, particularly those in New York who have attributed to him the wisdom of Solomon and the depravity of Bill Sikes. Well, everything can be attributed to newspapermen as it is to Frank Costello, but it may also be said that where there is smoke, there must be fire.

Crime exists in all biR cities throughout the world and what is crime in one place is not crime in another, as the determination as to what is a crime is an act of legislation. For instance, in Now York City it is a crime to gamble but not to speculate. Those who engage in bet taking are criminals, but those who publish odds and provide tips for the bettors and the bettors themselves 8re not criminals. Or, to take another instance, it is lawful to ruin a man's business by surrounding it with a shouting, shrieking picket line but it is illegal to ruin his business bv defaming his character or rid'cul-ing his product. If all the on the statute book were vigorously enforced, it is prohab'o that the people would rise up against the tyranny; on the other hand, crime flourishes best when public officials permit the criminals to move within ccrtkiin margins.

It is unquestionably true that no city is wide open without official consent and connivance. It may also be that public opinion is apathetic and regards the law as an instrument of power rather than of social benefit. Frank Costello has become the stereotype of criminal activity of the present period. The probability is that public opinion is 10 or even 20 vears behind the fact: that whatever Frank Costello has done, apart from income tax evasion and Rambling, was committed so long ago that the statute of limitations has long since run. At anv rale, the law bas rome up only with income tax evasion which, while it is wrong is not unnonular, and con-temnt of court which in his particular instance does not move public opinion against him.

WASHINGTON After the, "THANK YOU, Mr. Presi-dent!" had broken up the White House news conference and started a stampede for the door, I found myself elbowing alongside a very learned member of my profession. When we finally got unmobbed sufficiently for articulation he asked how I would feel if I had to address the president as "High Mightiness' "I haven't given the matter too much thought," I confessed. "Why do you ask?" "Well," he said, "This has no bearing on anything that happened today. It is utterly, completely, inapropos.

But, do you know, that we came very close to having to address the president as High Mightiness-" "It must have been the Democrats," I said. "The Republicans are too moderate for an immoderacy like that." "It was the Federalists. They thought the president should have a high-sounding title. The matter was taken up by a Senate committee and it reported in favor of address the president as High Mightiness!" "Docs Sherm Adams know about this? I asked cautiously. "I do not consider the question shermane.

This was some time ago, when there was an Adams even more prominent than Sher, if you can credit such a deplorable situation. It was in the first congress, and John Adams was vice president." "You mean good old John Adams, a plain New Engender, wanted to foist such a fancy title on the country?" "Well, he presided over the senate, which considered it. However, the House of Representatives decreed that the head man should be addressed simply as 'the presi. dent of the United States' and that mode of address fortunately passed into precedent. I said it was hard to think of I president of this democratic nation hankering for an aristocratic appellation.

Mv learned friend retorted that George Washington himself was in favor of being called "High Mightiness." "1 don't believe it of George!" I declared. "Where did you get that nonsense?" "It's in the history books," said the erudite one. "The first Speaker of the House, General Frederick A. C. Muh-lenberg.

of Pennsylvania, is quoted as stating that the stadtholder of Holland was then called 'High Mightiness," and Washington felt he should have the same title." My instructor went on: "Muhlenberg said he once jested about it to the president, and, for a time, lost Washington's friendship. Among those present was Rep, Henry Wynkoop, of Pennsyhania, who was large, commanding figure of a man. The president said to Muhlenberg: "Well, general, what do you think of he title "High Mightiness." "Muhlenberg according to the bocks replied laughingly: "Why, general, we were certain that the office would always le held by men as large is yourself and. or my friend Wyr.ktxip. it would be appropriate enough.

But, if by chance a president as smal. as mv opposite neighbor would be elected, it would become ridiculous." "Who was the 'opposite I aked. "I forget. But ar.vway, everybody laughed except the president. He looked very grave and d.sp'tased." Bv this time we were out on the street, safely hevord certain earshot, and I whispered: "Vou are urtfnubted: a well read fellow, and a credit to our craft.

But what are you pelting it?" "Nothing at all! Nothing at hastily protested the great scholar, looking over his shoulder. "1 was just rambling Front Page Stuff For the half million Americans who are custodians of active peptic ulcers, we have news that will be more important than any revelations they are likely to hear on guided missiles, the peccadillos of their favorite entertainers or even the leadership of labor unions. Word from Canada, where it has been achieving spectacular results for the past 28 months, (and from Denmark, Sweden, Norway and Italy, where it has been acclaimed even longer) is seeping through to IS physicians about a radically new remedy that is healing ulcers in ten to 30 days. This new preparation, called Exul, represents the first new approach to the ulcer mystery in the past 40 years. It proceeds on the entirely new theory that peptic ulcers are caused by dietary deficiency rather than by hyper-acidity.

The traditional treatment calls for decreasing the secretion cf acid digestive juices and neutralizing them so that the ulcer may have an opportunity of healing itself. In prescribing Exul, the doctor is giving his patient a nutritive sub-stance which speeds the healing process without interferring with th gastric secretion. Thus, the typical ulcer pains are not immediately relieved, but they grow less and are usually pons after a few days treatment. Healing is accomplished in the normal acid environment and usually, we are told, in from ten to 20 days! For more information, you'll have to ask your doctor, ince we don't want to get into a medical discussion over our head. In fact you'll have to ask him anyway since the only way you can get Exul is through his prescription.

With all due respect to the "wonder" drugs, this preparation seems more on the order of a miracle. To anyone who has ever sweated through the tedious uncertainty of the old-fashioned treatment, this storv is going to be hard to believe But it is presented, rather for the benefit of those who are still hurting.

She Do you men like girls who neck better than the ethers? He What others? Notice workman desiring to attend the funeral of a near relative must notify the foreman before ten a.m., on ihe day of the game." Some of the queens' horses and some of the queen's men are restoring some of Britain's influence in the Middle east after her humpty dumpty act of last fall. The return of the British to the councils of the Baghdad alliance, following a period of quite ostracism because of the Egyptian fiasco, is evidence that some of the side effects nf the crisis are shaking down. This coincides with broadened American participation in pact's affairs, and enhances a new link being formed between the West and some of the Arab states. Iraq, a member of the Alliance, is now involved in the process of tightening her connections with kindred Jordan and with Saudi Arabia as an anti-Communist bloc within the Arab league. Indeed, Saudi Arabia and Iraq have become, along with the i States, the chief guarantors of weak' Jordan's identity.

As Britain returned to the pact councils at a meeting of economic committee in Pakistan the United States arrived for her first formal participation. Although not a member of the Alliance, the United States joined the economic committee last year, and Tccently joined the military committee, which makes her just about as active in the pact as any of the formal The two great Western allies have made economic development of the area Pakistan, Iran, Iraq and Turkey the first order of their new business with the other pact members. They have agreed to back the plan with an initial $18,000,000, of which Britain will contribute about one third. Iraq, already under development with the money she gets from European oil i especially British, will thus be further strengthened for her role as a stabilizing influence in the Middle East. At least that's a part of the general idea.

Iraq, Jordan and Saudi Arabia are being very particular not to let their new position create a break with Communist-tolerating Syria and Egypt. Iraq still maintains her military alliance with these countries, and her determination to resist any Israeli expansion. That is the one point where there has been no deviation from policy by the five countries. The new links and new postures, therefore, do not mean an approach to the Middle East Alliance which Britain and the United States envisioned some years ago, pre-Nasser. Any increased collusiveness and stability even in a limited area is.

however, important to the anti-Communist containment program, did article on this subject: "Nothing out of the bottlo will offer more than passing relief. Cure must be broueht about by the patient himself, guided bv i a do tor." A migraine victim is usually advised to reduce the workday in length. He or she should be sure to obtain sufficient rest. The 50-year-old should not work as he did when .10 years younger. Another sugzestion is to avoid needless worry.

Worry is surely a waste of time. Most people realize this, but often they do not understand how much they can do for themselves out of such a habit. The standards of work and play may need changing. This applies particularly to resentinent or anxiety caused by situations over which the migraine victim has no control. Another recommendation is that one should develope fuller tolerance for other people.

This is all part of developing a philosophy toward life which will make one's own daily affairs as much in harmony with what goes on outside as is possible. All this points up the fact that there is no easy cure for migraine. But much can be done to lessen (he frequency and the discomfort of migraine attacks. By RIPLEY Several inquiries have been received recently for another discussion of migraine headaches and one in particular asks whether there is anything new. I do not know of anything dramatically "new" in the treatment of migraine headaches, but the understanding of them and the people who have them, has been improved in recent years.

Tne first step is to make sure that the headaches are truly of the "migraine'' type and not some other form of recurring headache. One clue is the fact that most of those with migraine headaches develop peculiar feelings or sensations several hours before the headache begins. These peculiar feelings may be of various kinds, such a visions of animals, excessive hunger or acute depression. The individual victim will usually have the same, or nearly the same, premonitory signs before each attack. The headache is likely to start gradually but gets worse, spreads over greater areas of the head and is usually one-sided.

Those who have severe attacks may be incapacitated for a day or more. Innumerable drugs and other treatments have been tried for migraine. Some of them are just before the headache begins. However, as stated in a splcn- Believe It Or Not NEW YORK I feel real ancient today after joining the Teen Age Set and sitting around with Tommy the Tonsil Sands who at 19 has the world on a string. Slugger'd ordered me to write up Tommy.

Not that he cares for him "It's those crazy girls! "All rootie," I said in the Tommy Sands lingo. Tommy, a Chicago-born, Louisiana and Texas-reared kid who's wealth in three months, wants one more thing a high school diploma like Betty Hutton wanted one in Detroit when she was already a star and got it. I saw "Hep Dee Hootie, Cutie Wootie, You're All Rootie With Me" Tommy at Globe Photos. Dangling a shaving kit on a strap he came in with his road manager, Bill Lee of Hollywood, who's all of 21. He sure seemed happy to have a shave.

"They say if you have a beard" the electric razor was humming "you're a man. I've sure got a beard!" He fingered it proudly. "One editor wants you in a bathing suit," a photog said. Tommy ran a hand through his fluffy hair. "I never take bathing suit nor guitar pictures.

I've been advised by mv agents not to." The photog made a call, then reported: "The editor will be happy to have a light summery outfit." That's the wav it's been with Tommy since "Teen-Ag Crush" and "Hen Dee Hootie" were recorded. Whatever he savs, goes. Now it's the Roxy, Ed Sullivan's show, a Hollywood movie, "The Singing Idol," based on the Kraft TV show and running from little girl fans who chased him from the Hotel Taft to a secret apartment. "Tommy's worked since he was 8," Bill Lee said. "Where did you work at I asked Tommy.

"The day I made my last payment on my guitar, diwn in Shrevepot, I w'as on the way to the bus station. I decided to stop in the radio station and a sk for a job." Soon he had a "Tommy Sands Show" he and his mother moved on to Houston there he quit Lamar High in '55 "in my last two months" to work. "Has he a draft problem?" I asked Bill Lee. "Sue." He nodded grimly. "Everybody has.

But first he wants to get that high school diploma out in Hollywood. Tommy doesn't care for college. The wav Tommy figures it, he'd be wasting the college's time." The Midnight Earl Wm.

"Sentiment's wonderful," he says, "but HOLLYWOOD (NEA) Well, at least "the tramp" was a lady for 12 b'roau'way performances. With a sign of progress in the movies now for Hollywood's ladv who is always the tramp, Jan Sterling She's graduated, by golly, to "ex-tramp" in a film.

A recent New York play, "Small War on Murry Hill," lasted only 12 nights for Jan. who laughs about always brirg "a stripper or a bubble dancer" in movies. But at least it's small proof, she's saving, that: "Something happens to me somewhere between New York and Hoilywond. In New York they cast me as lady. In Hollywood I always play tramps." Even as an ex-tramp now, in LTs "Slaughter on Tenth Avenue." Jan wincing a little: "I'm back on the waterfront i a firmer girl with the same old rark of dark-blue skirts and sw-eaters." Maybe, she wonders, "it's fate of all blondes in Hn)ly wood unless you're Grace Kelly." But at least Jan is ceri'nn of one thing: "I'm the only doll in Hollywood who has played both "Born Yesterday" and 'St.

Joan." The movies turned the lady into a tramp in her firt film, "Johnny Belinda," back in 1948, neht after he had played a lady on the Broadway stage. So she went back to Broadway to be a lady again. Ever since then it has been a trampish film rireer for Jan, whose off screen personality is 1H million mi.ei away from the girl she played on the screen. More than one person, after meeting her, has said: "Really now, you're not the way I thought you would be at all." But just nice-girl roles are'nt Jan's goal. "I'd like to plav," she savs, "a nice girl with fortitude!" Jan and hubby Paul Douglas have teamed up now and then but they will never be a regular Mr.

and Mrs. acting team. "We could never work together on a full-time basis," she told me. "There would be a divorce, I'm sure. We're both too busy." She's laughing right now about a midwestern woman who wrote her saying a man who came to fix her Venetian blinds was a dead ringer for Paul.

To prove it, the woman enclosed i photo of the guy. which Jan sent to Paul, currently in New York, with a note reading: "One of my fans thinks this big, burly bum looks like you." One of Jan Sterling's escapes from type casting was in Paramount's remake, a couple of years ago, of the Dorothy Lamour George Raft John Barrymore movie, "Spawn of the NortJi." It was the craziest remake you ever heard about because much of the film from the original picture was used again, Including all of the footage of a trained seal. "And the seal," Jan laughs, "stole the picture both times." Every time I hear the "Spawn of the North" title chuckle about a gag widely circulated in Hollywood the first time the picture was made. Someone asked the kite John Barrymore to explain the film's plot, and his answer was: "It's about a couple of salmon who swim down the Columbia River, meet in the Pacific Ocean and spend their honeymoon on ice at Fisherman's Wharf in San Francisco." The mere 12 performances on Broadway of "Small War on Murray Hill" wasn't too much of a surprise for Jan, who blames the play's flop on its Revolutionary War period humor and style of speech. "It was so authentic." she told me, "that only one or two persons in the audience would laugh at the jokes, I finally figured out just who those persons were.

They were either history professors or college students studying the Revolutionary War."

No. The sea's tiniest organic life cannot swim, but smply drifts. The tiny organisms are equipped with many different kinds of water wings to prevent their sinking. The name plankton is from the Greek word for wandering Q. Can bodily fatigue affect eyesight even if the eyes themselves are not overstrained? B.

T. A. Yes. General fatigue and nervous tension have decided effect on the eyes. There are six muscles which move the eyeball, and nervous strain can cause these muscles to tighten up, pull unevenly, and press the eyeball out of shape.

This results in blurred vision and further nervous and muscular strain in an attempt to see as well as usual. Q. When was SHAEF organized and when disbanded? D. W. A.

Dwight Eisenhower's book, "Crusade in Europe," details the organization of SHAEF (Supreme Headquarters, Allied Expeditionary Force) after his return to London in January 1143 The establishment was officially dissolved by General Eisenhower in July, 13-15 SHAEF directed the Allied western offensive against Germany, The military personnel of SHAEF consisted of representatives of Great Britain, France, and the United States, commanded by General Eisenhower. Q. What is rinderpest disease? T. I. A.

It is an acute, highly infectious disease of cattle (sometimes of sheep and goats) which occurs in parts of Asia and Africa but which has not yet appeared in the United Stales. Caused by a virus, it produces a diphtheric inflammation of the nucous membranes, especially of the intestines, and kills from 90 to 100 per cent of the cattie it infects. There are several relatively new mucosal cattle diseases in this country which seem to have a clinical re-omblance to rinderpest.
