Congressman Thomas L.
Blanton, of Texas, is firmly
decided to stamp out Com-
munism among the school
teachers of this country. But
rfhere is some doubt as to his
method.
• • •
Last year he sponsored the
“little red rider,” by which
school employes, from jani-
tors to teachers, have to sign
a monthly form, swearing
they have not “taught or ad-
vocated communism,” before
.they can get their salary
checks.
• ■ m
One wonders whether the
brave Congressman realizes
that those employes might be
Communists and still not tell
him that in the sworn ques-
tionaire!

that an alien cannot ac-

outward sign of celebration
he permitted.
Announcement was made
at the Mass that he had been
given the titles of bishop as-
sistant to the pontifical
throne of the pope in Rome
and count of the Lateran.
ner broke his traditional si

“I don’t mind the world’s

London, July 13. — Lord
Edmonton, Alta., July 14.—
Born with his beating heart
outside his body, an eight-
pound baby boy was reported
doing well by puzzled doc-
tors in City hospital today.
The child was born yester-
day to Mrs. Fred Sandonek,
37, wife of a farm laborer.
The doctor in attendance, a-
mazed at the phenomenon,
rushed the child to the hos-
pital, where an operation to
replace the heart in the chest
cavity is planned.
Physicians said part of the
baby’s chest wall is missing,
leaving the pulsating organ
entirely exposed except for
the thin pericardium sheat-
ing.
The beat is strong and r^
gular. The baby’s appetite
and general health was re-
ported good.
