sky was of Jewish origin, the myth included the worst features of Dickens’ Fagin and Shakespeare's Shylock.

Trotsky was the effective or- ganizer and moving spirit of the Bolshevik revolution, second only”

+-to Lenin as its head. He was the

first Foreign Minister of the Soviet Union. In March, 1918 he became its first War_Minister and in that role created the Red Army from al- most nothing, mobilizing and direct-

_{jag the force which saved the revo-

lution against the attacks of its many armed enemies on Russian soil.

As Lenin neared death, it was generally taken for granted that Trotsky would be his successor. But he had two weaknesses that were fatal to his ambition. His very pre-eminence was one, for it in- duced all his rivals to eombine against him as soon as Lenin died. More serious was his major blun- der in underestimating Stalin,“whom he saw as a crude non-intellectual from the Georgian backwoods.

‘ Trotsky’s vast ability proved to be inadequate against Stalin's skill in intrigue. He was exiled in 1929, and went from place to place seek- ing refuge, aiming barbed sentencés at Stalin, defending himself against _ever more terrifying accusations, and hoping that the tide of history would turn his way.

The tide never turned while he lived. Instead, he suffered the agon- jes of seeing his children become the victims of Stalin’s vengeance,, of being accepted in his own land as the arch traitor. Finally, he was murdered in his own home by an agent Stalin had smuggled into his bodyguard.

But his ghost never was laid. Stalin himself, by ting his theories, became, so to ‘ ereatest Trotskyite of all. And his fanaticism and “holy war” mental- dty are still alive in_Red China’s brand of Communism, unaffected by the change which thermonuclear weapons has made in the whole oncept of war since Trotsky’s time.

Mr. Gordon's Statement

Apart from the method of financing the. plan—contributions would evidently be based on ability to pay—Mr. Gordon said the support and ¢o- operation of the medical profession would be needed to maintain high standards and to aid in the ad- ministration of the plan.

Framework

Maritime reactions to the of the MacPher- Trans-

have produced a variety of simple home exercises having | the same effect.

We wrote several years ago | about _ hidden exercises that could be done by everyone al- | most any place: A driver or clerk, for _example, can |

| strengthen his abdominal mus- |

cles by ‘“‘sucking in” his abdo- men many times during the day. Making a fist and con- tracting the biceps (as in show- | ing off the arm muscle) is an- other example. Squeezing a hard rubber ball sterngthens hand and forearm.

Sitting in a doorway, with the | arms raised and resting against the door jamb and pushing out with the backs of the hand for six seconds, does wonders - for’ the trunk. Lock the fingers be- hind the neck and force the head | back while the hands push for- | ward. This is for the neck and | arms. The hundreds of varia- | tions of these exercises are de- signed to increase strength.

| They can be done in a_ short | time. ‘ (Dr. Van Dellen will answer | questions on medical topics if stamped, self-addressed ‘enve- lope accompanies request.)

BRAIN WAVE TEST F. M. writes: If an electroen- cephglogram is negative, is this proof that epilepsy is not pres- ent?

REPLY No, A normal brain wave tracing occurs in 15 to 25 per cent of individuals with epi- lepsy.

CHUNKY GIRL

J. K. writes: What would cause a sudden weight gain in a nine-year-old girl? Her waist and legs are getting thick.

REPLY

This may be the onset of pub- erty or she may have a glandul- ar- condition.

REPLY. As dangerous as falling off a log into a bed of feathers.

STRETCHING BRINGS ’ TREMBLING G. T. writes: What causes trembling after stretching the

spine? REPLY Irritation of stiff or taut mus- cles. ¢

Farm Districts And Politics

New York Times

One reason President Ken-

| medy’s proposal for a Depart- |

ment of Urban Affairs lacks popularity in the House is that

House membership is heavily

overweighted in favor of farm—

districts. The 1960 census indi- cates that nearly 70 per cent of the country’s population now lives in urban areas. Yet a sur-

vey by Congressional Quarterly. |

shows that 250 Representatives come from districts that are predominantly rural, as against 126 from central cities and 60 from suburban districts.

If the districts in each state were reapportioned so that all

contained the same number of |

people, the rural districts (those

these would go to the suburbs, which have benefited most from | population shifts in the last de- | | eade, and seven to the cities. .In the East the cities and the

SECONDARY INDUSTRIES

This would save about half ot

the total of the present subven- tion, about $7 million our of $14 million. The vital thing to under- stand—and this does not appear to be receiving the attention it

| warrants — is that the region must assume that this saving would be applied as a con- tribution toward a new special subvention on the products of secondary industries, leaving the region.

The definition, for this pure | pose, of secondary industries is urgent, as is the scale of the special assistance necessary to sustain them. The MacPherson Report clearly Anvisages the- need for these two decisions by the Government of Canada. It clearly indicates them, pointing out that transportation, as an in- strument of national policy for

internal trans-

overcoming economic - regional '.

lag, is perfectly practicable, but outside the Commission's Terms of Reference. - The Commission has provid- ed the framework. It now be comes the urgent need to me bilize regional opinion to the end that an agreed policy may be reached to fit into it. A unif- | fed approach must be made | without delay to- Ottawa.

rural districts would each lose four seats while the suburbs picked up eight. The most sub- stantial shuffle would be in the South, where the cities would gain nine places, the suburbs would get two more and the rur- al areas would lose eleven.

In the Midwest an increase of two urban and six suburban seats would be offset by-a rural” loss of eight. In the West the city count would remain une changed while the suburbs pick-

ed. up four seats at the expense of the rural districts.
