'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

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-

ern Europe. 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.

certing manner, which is causing
much heartburning In both capi
tals. Britain's main objective, as I
see it, is to safeguard her inter
ests in the Middle East. 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

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.

War-Murder
Query Rsise'd
azi Case
NEW YORK W) Where does
war end and murder begin?
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.
