Taylor Attacks
Judge Foita On
Floor of House
< ANCHORAGE, I* — Federal
Judge George Foita, severely de
nounced by a legislator on the
floor of the Territorial House of
i Representatives at Juneau Wed
nesday, said he would refuse to
engage in a “verbal brawl.”
Rep. Warren Taylor, Fairbanks
Democrat and widely known as a
defense attorney in Alaska crim
inal trials, made the speech be
fore a hushed House. He criticized
both Judge Foita and Federal
Judge J. L. McCarrey Jr., for
statements attributed to them
after the House passed a bill af
fecting trial procedure last week.
Judge Foita, in his comment,
referred to Taylor in derogatory
terms and said he had already
made his comment on the bill.
He also said:
“I refuse to descend to the level
of the gutter to engage in verbal
brawl with someone who is for
the time being enjoying legisla
tive immunity.”
The bill in question is one
which proposes to change Alaska
law so that in a criminal trial the
defense “may” make its opening
statement after the prosecution
opens its case, rather than that it
“must” make it.
Judge McCarey said later that
he was “taken by surprise by
Taylor’s statement ...”

Eat Your Salad
Last And Save
Your Teeth
CHICAGO, Ufc—A dentist who
has studied diets among primitive
Eskimos suggested today that
Americans reverse their eating
habits to prolong the life of their
teeth.
Eat your dessert first and save
the salad until last, Dr. Carl J.
Henkelmann of Lincoln, Neb., ad
vised the Chicago Dental Society’s
annual midwinter meeting.
To preserve one's teeth, Dr.
i Henkelmann said in an interview,
j a person should end a meal with
i a protective food—raw fruits or
j vegetables—which help clean off
I sugar deposits, the principal cause
of cavities.
The dentist said his advice was
based on a study of primitive Es
kimos who later turned to the
white man’s diet.
He said a 1950 study of 70
Eskimos at Anaktuvuk Pass, Al
aska, before white traders moved
into the territory, showed none
with even a single cavity. All
were living on native foods, main
ly meat.
In 1954, after white traders had
begun supplying the Eskimos
with sugar and flour, Dr. Henkel
mann said, a check of 22 persons
found in the Eskimo settlement
when he visited there showed 10
still free of cavities and 12 with
a total of 69 cavities. He said
x - ray examinations probably
would have shown other cavities
not discernible to the naked eye.
Dr. Henkelmann attributed the
Eskimos’ dental defects to “the
destructive effects of the white
man’s food.” %

Churchill Will
Seek Talks With
Marshal Bulganin
LONDON, — Prime Minister
Churchill said Thursday he will
eventually seek talks with the
new Soviet pi'emicr, Marshal
Nikolai Bulganin,
j He told the House of Commons,
however, a favorable time for
; him, President Eisenhower and
the French premier to sit down
with Bulganin is unlikely to occur
before the final ratification of
the London-Paris agreements for,
rearming West Germany in west
ern defense.
In answer to Laborite questions
the 80 - year - old British leader
showed the shakeup in Moscow
this week has not lessened his
desire for talks at the top level
aimed at easing East-West ten
sions.
“As I have said before, the
policy of the government is to
seek a four-power conference at
a time when'it seems likely to
yield genuine results, but that
occasion is not likely to occur
until after the ratification of the
London-Paris agreements,” Chur
chill said.
Laborite V. N. Warbey declared
Churchill had stalled on the ques
tion of big four talks for two
years and thereby lost an oppor
tunity to negotiate with Georgi
Malenkov, who was removed ag
Soviet premier Tuesday. The
House rang with laughter.
