If You Can't Hear See Your Dentist
Dr. Manion, a dentist, said he had been able to help the hearing of three out of four patients by making dental corrections. He said one 64-year-old woman came to the hospital with extreme facial pain and loss of hearing.
Dr. Manion emphasized that there are various causes of deafness besides poor teeth and correction of dental troubles is not a cure. But he said experiments have shown that hearing does improve if it is caused by bad teeth and the teeth are worked on.

Dr. Ise said American policy of bolstering reactionary governments abroad may be helping Russia. People may be choosing communism because this country is backing regimes such as King Peter in Greece, Chang Kai-shek in China, and making overtures to "butcher" Franco in Spain.

'Peace Leads To War' - Ise
"The common people of America can't do much to avert war. They can't affect foreign policy."
Turning to Germany as an example of poor judgment abroad, Dr. Ise asserted the United States apparently is helping to stifle German liberals.
"In seeking able administrators to stem the Communistic tide in Europe, the men who put Hitler into power are being called on to administrate."
Before his talk, Dr. Ise told the Daily Kansan reporter, "I am for American institutions. Be sure to get that in somewhere."

$10,000 A Year And On Relief
Des Moines—(UP)—A family that earned from $700 to $1,000 a month has been taken off the relief rolls after 24 years. Polk county Welfare Director Leland Ahern said today.
He said the parents had "covered up" the fact that seven of their 17 children were employed, although members of the family were riding in taxicabs and wearing "dressy" clothes while the welfare department gave it $50 to $60 a month in groceries and furnished clothes for the children.
Ahern estimated total relief payments, which began shortly after the couple was married, at more than $10,000 in cash in addition to food and clothing. He said the family "managed to remain on relief through political pressure."
