ROSEBURG NEWS-REVIEW, ROSEBURS. OREGON FRIDAY, MAY 21. 1948 FIVE 'Anesthetic On Sinus Ends Backaches By ALTON L. BLAKESLEE Associated Press Science Reporter NEW YORK, W) Some back aches can be cured just by "paint ing" behind the nose to put cer tain nerves to sleep, Dr. J. Lewis Amster says. The painting consists of apply ing a local anesthetic to a little cluster of nerve cells on the wall of one of the -sinuses. It's dene through the nose with a long swab. The anesthetic puts these nerves to sleep, and blocks their normal impulses. The treatment has been elect ive in relieving some cases of low back pains, of the kind that seem to have no physical reason, Dr. Air.ster told the New York state medical society. The New York city physician reported some success also against a few eases of migraine headaches, painful shoulder spasms, persistent hiccoughing, stiff necks and shingles a pain ful nerve disease.' But why the treatment works is a mystery. The spot anesthet ized consists of sympathetic nerve cells that have no appar ent connection with nerves in the low part of the back. The relief might be due to some kind of reflex . action or to psychic reasons, Dr. Amster said. The treatment has been known for some time. Dr. Amster be came interested three years ago when it was used on him. For 15 years he had had a recurrent low back pain with attacks one? a year. The nerve treatment abol ished the pain in 20 minutes, he said, and it hasn't returned. Since then he has tried it on 103 patients, he said, "with re lief of pain a:td spasms noted in about 90 per cent of these cases." Speculation .. By DEWITT MACKENZIE fAP Foreign AffairH Analytttl There is much virtue in the old saying that one shouldn't look a gift horse in the mouth but, like most generalities, there are ex cent ions to the rule. We are faced with an import ant exception, or so it seems to me, in the case of Premier Sta lin's announcement that Moscow is willing, if America is, to accept Henry A. Wallace's recent open letter to him as the basis for peaceful settlement of Russo American differences. There is more lhan a little doubt as to what sort of steed we are being offered. tThe big question we have vto answer, of course, is whether this is a real peace offer or whether it is a shrewd move to bolster Russia's position and the Red revolution for the spread of Com munism. It's a mighty uncom fortable thing to have to chal lenge what purports to be a peace gesture. However, we are forced to it by Bolshevist aggres sion which has been going on un ceasingly, with the resulting en slavement of numerous small na tions and a threat to the rest of the world. What's Stalin's Aim? Does Moscow suddenly halt this program of 30 years' standing and say: "We abandon our pro ject. We are ready for peace?" I think not. What then has Moscow in mind? Well, one thing that political circles in this country were quick . to note was that Premier Stalin, with his praise of Mr. Wallace, had intervened in the American presidential campaign. It re mained to 1)0 seen what the effect would be. Then diplomatic quarters arc asking whether Moscow might be raising the peace issue in order to weaken the Marshall Plan for European rehabilitation, and block supnort for American mili tary aid to the nations of west- - MM CUT THE NAIL IN MY fltO7 .II Poultry and . . ;j- i,t 4 . : V LI i -rVmW n - -rl 1 , v CzrS " V V1 .4 ' Picture by Master Photo Shop GIRLS VIE FOR TIMBER QUEEN One of these I 2 Sutherlin girls may reign as queen of the Suther lin Timber Days Centennial July 3, 4, and 5.

Suspicions further give rise to the thought that Rus sia would like a lull in the cold war to give her a chance to con solidate her gains and bolster her economic position, es p e c i a 1 1 y heavy industries which would be needed if war overtook her. Korean Scheme Bared One of the points Stalin cited as being mentioned by Mr. Wal lace for discussion was "evacua tion of troops from China and Korea." Well, now, such an agree ment almost certainly would have the effect of giving Russia posses sion of all Korea which strategic ally is one of the most important bases in the whole orient. The northern half of Korea is occupied by Soviet troops, and the southern half by American forces. Russia has Sovletied the north ern portion and has created a Korean army of some 200,000, while southern Korea is just set ting up its own free government under protection . of America. Many observers figure that with drawing of both Russian and U.S. troops would permit the northern Korean army to take over the southern half of the country and incorporate it in the Communist regime. No wonder Moscow wants withdrawal of American and Rus sian troops! - - Most certainly we should pray for peace and work for peace, but meantime beware the silly season. To Let qo Of By DEWITT MACKENZIE AP Foreign Affairs Analyst The sharp differences between the two major democracies Brit ain and America over the Arab Jewish issue are bringing many anxious queries to this column. Why should we find the United States recognizing the new Jew. ish state of Israel,, while England withholds recognition as Arab troops (some of which are Brit ish trained and supported) move into the Holy Land for the at tack. Why, in short, should the two powers appear to be taking opposite sides in the conflict. Well, we are treading on deli cate ground here. However, I think we are safe in saying that London and Washington aren't really working towards different ends. They just have got their wires crossed in a most discon POULTRY! POULTRY! POULTRY!

These in clude control of the strategic areas necessary for maintenance of her life-line through the Medi terranean and the Suez Canal to the Far East. Many of these stra tegic bases are Arabic. England also is vitally interested in the Middle East petroleum fields as is Uncle Sam, and in a big way. Britain Reverses Herself It may surprise many people to find Britain thus apparently put ting heavy emphasis on her Medi terranean defenses once more. It's only a little more than a year ago that she announced with drawal of her military adminis trative and supply bases from the Eastern Mediterranean to Kenya Colony on the east coast of Af rica. It was said that her reasons for this sensational change In cluded the instability of her po litical and military status in Egypt and Palestine. London said this program en visaged retention of Britain's for ward operational bases "as long as practicable" in such countries as the Sudan, Palestine, Egypt, Trans-Jordan and Iraq. However, the world got the impression that British military experts felt the position was such that they wouldn't bo able to defend the Mediterranean life-line in another great war. That was a year ago. Since then the situation has changed vastly due to Communist ag gression. Moscow not only has virtually annexed Eastern Europe i out is trying to mane true mis sia's age-old dream of breaking through into the Middle East and becoming a Mediterranean pow er. Thus this area has again be come one of the world's worst danger spots. So we see Britain maneuvering y DELICIOUS!

Six Miners Killed By "Bump" Coal Shot DANTE, Va., May 21 (Pi Rescue crews early today brought to the surface the bodies of six miners killed last night when a "bump" shot tons of coal over them in the Cllnchfleld Coal Company's No. 2 mine. The men were buried under coal, earth and debris which burst from a seam where they were working two miles under ground. A. R. Matthews, company president, described a "bump" as a combination of overhead pres sure, hardness or softness of the seam, degree of hardness of the coal and the weight on it.

That question is posed today by a stalwart six-foot-two-inch for mer adjutant of Heinrich Himm lor Col. Joachim Pelper, who might in time have taken Adolf Hitler's place. And it Is a hard question to answer regardless of whether PeiDer. who nnp nf hlq spro-pants said wanted to become "the fuehrer of the Fourth Reich." ultimately is hanged, goes to prison or is freed. I his handsome Nazi soldier still only 33 years old Is one of 43 German SS troops condemned" to death on charges of murdering 750 American soldiers and 150 Belgian civilians during the Bat tle of the Bulge. Among the victims were more than 70 unarmed members of a U. S. artillery observation bat talion, shot down in the infamous "Majmedy massacre." The death sentences for Pelper and his pals were passed by an international court sitting at Dachau, where the trial judge for hundreds of thousands of Ger man concentration camp prison ers had been the gas chamber. There was no appeal from the gas chamber. The sentences against the Nazi storm troopers were appealed to the U. S. Su preme Court which refused to review it on a 4-to-4 decision that it had no jurisdiction. This only points up again the legal difficulties in assessing war guilt. Admired By Some Yanks Meanwhile Secretar" of the Army Kenneth C. Royall has or dered a stay of execution against 17 of the condemned men pendin" Investigation of charge the Nazis had been beaten and forced to confess at "mock" trials in prison by American prosecutors. The case has an added Interest because Pelper was a bold and outstanding soldier for whom some American commanders nro fess a reluctant off-the-record ad miration. They don't condone the crimes committed by his men. They do recognize his leadership in battle. One American officer who had been his prisoner. Lt. Col. Hal D. McCown of Rusnton, La., even flew the Atlantic to tcstlfv in Col. Peiper's defense. He Bald the young Nazi officer, when his progress was halted, freed 150 American prisoners and "at no time did I see mistreat ment of American prisoners of war." " I remember Interviewing Lt. Col. McCown near Malmedv a few hours after he got back from capture himself. Pelper, after burning his stranded tanks and guns, had taken off on foot at the head of his column of men and safely led them at night through the American lines. Where does war end and mur der begin? Young Col. Pelper, arrogant, brave and self-confident the man who might have be come another Hitler is the sym bol of one unfinished answer.
