American Strikes Russian.

The American military authorities at the Ciampino airport said that an American military policeman struck with his fist a Russian diplomatic courier carrying letters to Paris when the courier failed to identify himself aboard an aeroplane and refused to leave it. The policeman again struck the courier when he was outside the aeroplane.—Rome, May 29.. Chronic Alcoholics in U.S. The retiring president of the American Psychiatric Association (Dr. Karl Bowman) claimed that Americans spent 7,000,000,000 dollars annually on alcoholic beverages. Disease, crime, and poverty cost the nation 750,000,000 dollars a year. It was conservatively estimated that there were 750,000 chronic alcoholics in America. Dr. Bowman recommended that 10 per cent, of the revenue froin alcoholic beverages should l?e devoted to research into the problem of alcohol. He said that many- alcoholics died in gaol because society was not yet willing to provide hospital care for them. —New York, May 30.
