IN ONE OUT OF TEN:
Goiter in Mother Stunts
Mental Growth of Child
Ten out of one hundred mental-
ly afflicted people need not have
been-if their mothers had eaten
food with more iodine in it.
Dr. Q. P. Kimball of Cleveland,
speaking before the School of Pub-
lic Health asembly here yester-
day, said that mothers suffering
from simple goiter resulting from
a lack of iodine may give birth to
children who are feeble-minded,
deaf mutes or stunted in develop-
ment.

Campus UWF
To Hold Round
Ta ble Today
The University chapter of Unit-
ed World Federalists will hold a
round table on "International Jus-
tice in a World Federation" at
7:30 p.m. today in Rm. 3-D of
the Union.
The topic will be divided into
four different sections for discus-
sion. Prof. Lawrence Preuss of
the political science department
will discuss the history of inter-
national tribunals up to the pres-
ent.
Iawin Robinson, president of the
campus UWF, will discuss the his-
tory of international law.
Don Nuechterlein, a political
science student, will argue that a
world court to deal with internal
disputes is impossible.
Speaking in opposition will be
Dr. Holbrooke Seltzer of Univer-
sity Hospital. His talk will em-
phasize that a world court with
jurisdiction over internal disputes
must and can be made possible.
Heidt Winner
Plays to Nation
University sophomore Alexander
F. Popp, who won first place for
his piano playing at the Horace
Heidt show here, appeared on the
national talent hunt broadcast in
Detroit Sunday night.
Popp, who lives at 2133 Brock-
man Blvd., Ann Arbor, played his
own arrangement of "Rhapsody in
Blue" on both programs.
Second-place winner Saturday
was nine-year-old Clifford Doehr-
ing of Ferndale, whose song-and-
dance act netted him a $10 prize.
Under the auspices of the Uni-
versity Men's Glee Club, "The Elk-
airs," local barbershop quartet,
copped third place.
soils and water supplying the vege-
tables she eats, is called endemic,
or environmental, goiter.
Ten per cent of mental cases
result from mothers' goiter, he
said.
"This is primarily a food defi-
ciency disease," Dr. Kimball said.
"The food deficiency is iodine."
Endemic goiter is much more
than just a lump in the neck, he
declared. Iodine deficiency does
not always lead to an enlarged
thyroid gland, but it does disturb
the activity of the gland, which
controls many of the functions of
the body.
IF A CHILD is born with a nor-
mal thyroid but develops an iodine
lack because of his food, his
growth may stop at puberty or be-
fore, Dr. Kimball said.
"The use of iodized salt will
avoid these complications," the
doctor stressed. "Iodized salt
is not a medicine, but a natural
salt. We are only putting back
the amount of iodine lost in re-
fining the salt.
Experimentsat Ohio State Uni-
versity and the Michigan State
Agricultural College have proved
that there is absolutely no harm-
ful effect in using iodized salt for
canning, he reported.
** *
DESPITE the fact that iodized
salt is available, cases of iodine
lack continue to develop. Since
1936 there has been a tendency on
the part of the public to go back
to using salt without iodine, the
doctor said.

The lamp post on the Diag is
bearing strange fruit today in the
form of bright yellow balloons
urging students to "Buy the '49
'Ensian."
The balloons are part of the cur-
rent sales campaign the 'Ensian
business staff is conducting. Agile
members of the stafl worked yes-
terday to anchor I ite Bailonsin I
position.
TODAY'S EFORi' narks the
second time that the undaunted
'Ensian staff has used helium-
filled balloons for publicity. An
aura of uncertainty still surrounds
their first attempt..
Four days ago the business
staff of the 'Ensian released a
helium-inflated balloon into the
wind. Attached to it, in a
weighted package, was a paper
entitling the bearer to a free
'Ensian.
According to the business staff's
figuring, when the balloon had
floated high enough, the helium
would expand and burst it, causing
the package to descend to earth.
BUT SO FAR no one has report-
ed finding the balloon's remains,
City Beat
The local turkey situation is
pretty good this Thanksgiving, it
seems, except for high costs.
With prices which range from 59
to 78 cents per pound, averaging
10 cents higher than last year.
Ann Arbor residents areassured
a plentiful supply of the tradi-
tional birds.
The argument over where the
county's new courthouse will
stand went on furiously as
George Hurrell of the County
Planning Commission proposed
locating the structure at the
County Fairgrounds out beyond
the Stadium on Jackson Ave.
Mayor William E. Brown, Jr.,
has already indicated his strong
opposition to building the new
courthouse outside the city.
* *x*v
The city took in $8,177.80 in Oc-
tober for use of its parking fa-
cilities and meters. This yielded a
"net profit" of more than $4,000
after payment of costs and capital
expenses.

Ask about it
and it may still be circling around
Ann Arbor.
So the 'Ensian is making an-
other try today-with a new im-
portation of helium from De-
troit.
In fact, the staffers lay proud
claim to having the only supply of
helium in the entire city of Ann
Arbor. They brought the feather-
weight gas to town for today's
stunt-at a cost of $30 a tank.
U.S. Political
Machines' End
Seen by Boss
BOSTON-(IP) -Mayor James
Michael Curley, one of the last of
the so-called oldtime political
bosses still in power, says political
machines in America are doomed.
At 74 the veteran mayor sees a
new era ahead-and he intends to
be- part of it.
"The people," he says, "are bet-
ter educated in the science of
government-politics, if you say-
than ever before. Winning elec-
tions with only money and ma-
chine organizations is a thing of
the past."

PRESIDENT Truman's re-elec-
tion, Curley says, is a good exam-
ple of what he means.
"Truman won," he says, "by tak-
ing his case direct to the people
and convincing them he was right.
He did this in spite of a division
in his own party and even though
some members of his own Cabinet
felt he couldn't succeed."
Hopping on the Truman band-
wagon early, Curley supported
the President at Philadelphia
and campaigned vigorously for
him.
For a half-century Curley has
been a stormy figure in Massachu-
setts politics-as mayor or Bos-
ton, congressman, governor and
Democratic national committee-
man.
ON CELEBRATING his 74th
birthday, Curley made clear he
has no intention of retiring.
"I'll be around in politics for
another 25 years, God willing,"
he smiles.
Winding up his fourth four-year
term as mayor, Curley indicates
he'll seek re-election next year.
And, so far, there's been little talk
of much opposition.
