The American College of Sur geons was told the new techni que still is on trial but so-far-is encouraging in the fight on a fre quent disorder of the heart.

American Language Of Pre-Civil War Period Spoken In Jungles Of Liberia By DeWITT MacKENZIE AP Foreign Attain Aiulytt One of the strange stories of our time has been unfolded by Dr. Lorenzo Dow Turner, Negro professor of English at Roosevelt Col lege, Chicago, who has uncovered survivals of African culture among the quarter million Negroes inhabiting the Rice islands off the coasts of South Carolina and Georgia. These Negroes are descendants of slaves who were brought to America at the time of the ear liest settlements. Some of those living on the Islands never have been on the mainland or seen a white man at close range. They speak a language which Includes many words brought by thel an cestors from the Jungles of Africa. Dr. Turner found that some of the words in the Rice islands language had their origin in Li beria. I was particularly inter ested In this because in 1942 when I spent some time at Fisherman's Lake, Liberia, I was astonished to run into an American Colloqui alism dating back to slavedavs. As you will recall, the state of Liberia grew out of the labors of the National Colonization So ciety of America, wheih was or-' ganized in 1816 to free American Negroes and colonize In Africa. Some 12,000 "American" Liber ians now live in the republic and they are defendants of American slaves. I was tramping about among native huts in the Jungle when I came across a native woman sitting in front of her home and spoke to her. I really didn't ex pect to get an answer, thinking that she wouldn't understnad me. and was surprised when she re plied In good American. I stop ped to chat with her and during tne conversation sne employed a very old U. S. Colloquialism. which led me to ask her where she learned it. "My great grandparents were slaves In America." she replied." and came here when the Amer ican settlement was made. I learned my English from them." This woman, who was perhaps forty; never had been away from the jungle, but the language and customs of pre-civll war days in the United States had been hand ed -down to her. She spoke well, and her little Jungle home was neatly kept. Many other natives in that area spoke English, or a brand of it, which probably Navajo-Hopi Aid Bill Killed By President's Veto WASHINGTON, Oct. 19-.T) President Truman has vetoed the $38,570,000 Navajo -Honl Indian aid bill. He was influenced, he said, by the desires of the Navajos them selves and by the belief the mea sure contained "serious threats to the basic rights of these In dians." But the president said the pro posed legislation had really ser ved its purpose. Its aims can be carried out under existing laws, he stated. The purpose In proposing the 10-year program for the benefit of the southwestern Indians, said Mr. Truman, was to give Con gress an opportunity "to review that program as a whole before appropriation estimates were submitted for the individual items." The Navajo-Hopi bill, passed unanimously by both houses o f Congress, authorized an over all program for development" of he resources of the Navajos and Hopis, with a view of making the hard-up tribes self sustaining. What President Truman object ed to was a section of the bill which would place the Indian tribes, with qualifications, under civil jurisdiction of the states in which they live Arizona, New Mexico and Utah. Along with another provision which would require the govern ment to assume the burden o I social security payments -to the Indians. The ancient Romans enforced conservation in the cutting of the cedars of Lebanon. Publisher Admits Authorship Of Book Attacking Efficiency Of B-36 Bomber NASHVILLE, Tenn.. Oct. 19 (. James G. Stahlman, publish er of the Nashville Banner and a former captain in the Naval Reserve. Monday jumped Into the thick of the AirKorce-Navy controversy over the B-36 bom ber. ' Stahlman said a I r secretary Symington apparently referred to a booklet circulated by him when Symington hinted at Monday's congressional hearing of a sec ond anonymous document e I r culated by the navy. The former Naval Reserve cap tain said he sent out a booklet, "The Stragetic Bombing Myth," to fellow publishers after it had been published in the Banner. The 54-page booklet, Stahlman said, exploded the myth of stra tegic bombing. Its contents, he added, were taken from official records, "most of It from the Air Force files Itself and none of which is in any wav restrict ed." Stahlman said In a letter which accompanied the booklets: "If there is one thing that the national military establishment needs It is the formation of a technically qualified board o r commission, to determine, after sufficient research, the best poss ible types of weapons of all sorts, with the additional authority to prescribe and produce those wea pons for subsequent use by all the branches of the armed forces under the direction of the Joint chiefs of staff.
