In Case Of Maj. Peress
" (Continued from Page One)
his retention was "clearly not con-
sistant with the interests ol na
tional security."
McCarthy., sharply questioned
Zwicker about Peress at hearings
early last year.
Peress is the New York dentist
whom McCarthy has called a
"Fifth Amendment Communist"
and who was dischrged after he
had refused to answer questions
about Communist affiliations in an
appearance before McCarthy's subcommittee.
Adams anil veible were among
62 persons lurried in the Army
chronology as having had . a part
at one time or another in the pro
motion and discharge of Peress.
Adams was tne only civilian, din
ers ranged from warrant officers
who signed papers to a four-star
general, Charles L. Bolte, vice
chief of staff, , who approved an
officers' board finding that Peress
should be discharged. ,
Adams declined to comment be
yond saying, "the chronology
speaks for itself."
Gen. Weible was not immediate
ly available.
The chronology was released
after copy was furnished to Sen.
Saltonstall (R-Mass), -who '.'had
asked Secretary of the Army Ste
vens for it. Stevens said the full
details were being made public be
cause confidential handling of an
earlier list of 30 names "has been
misinterpreted in some places."

Receives Acclaim
In Debut At Met
NEW YORK Iff Amid applause
and cheers and a few tears
American contralto Marian Ander
son became last eight the first of
her race to sing with the Metro
politan Opera. '
And the warm welcome given
the first Negro singer in the Mets
70-year history proved but the
prelude to an artistic success by
the famed concert performer. Crit
ics were unanimous in praise of
her rich and moving voice, heard
in the second scene of Act I of
Verdi's "Un alio In Maschera."
As the curtain rose on the sec
ond scene there was Miss Ander
son as Ulrica, stirring her witchs
cauldron.
The audience broke into a tre
mendous ovation. Many men and
women in the audience white
as well as Negro patrons dab
bed at their eyes in the emotion
of the moment. Orchestra Conduc
tor Dimitri Mitropoulis stopped
the playing until the demonstra
tion was over.
Then Miss Anderson, a grim,
taut figure as her role called for,
started to sing her . first aria,
"Ridella Bisso.
After a slight hint of nervous
ness the full voice heard by hun
dreds of thousands since the sing
ers Town Hall debut in 1926 soar
ed to its accustomed richness.

Guilty Plea Entered
To 5'2-Year-Old Death
MEDFORD Ifl-Marlon Flanklin
Piening, 50, Friday pleaded guilty
lo a manslaughter charge in the
death of Margaret Ann Cornell 5 Vt
years ago.
Police said the 50-year-old woman
died as the result of sexual abuse.
Piening, arrested last Nov. 30 in
another sex case, admitted the
assault on the Cornell woman after
questioning by police.
. He will be sentenced next week.
Prostatic trouble has been called
the bene of old age. One man out
of three past sixty Is a sufferer
and one man out of two is a victim
of it after eighty. The most com
mon ' trouble is hyper trophy or
enlargement. The prostate gland
is situated at the nock of the blad
der and when enlarged, causes
pressure and constriction of the
urethra or passage through which
the urine and semen are transmit
ted to the outside.
1 Was it Natures cmbryological
mistake to combine the genera
tive with the excretory organs?
Why docs the prostate enlarge
when the sexual functions are on
the decline and its period of ac
tivity is over? This enlargement
is a similar process to the growlh
of fibroid tumors in the female.
Urinary function does not stop
when reproduction diminishes and
ceases. .
This prostatic enlargement caus
es an obstruction to the urinary,
flow. The desire to urinate may
he frequent, painful and urgen,.
The patient is forced to excuse
himself to repair to the bathroom.
There is loss of sleep from getting
up at night, irritability, weakness,
confusion, and frequent urination
during the daytime. There may bo
discomfort when sitting, the indi
vidual experiencing a crowded feel
ing. Leg cramps may further dis
turb his sleep at night.
Inflammation of the prostate
gland is called prostatitis. This
may cause pains in the joints or
down the legs, following the sci
atic nerve. Burning sensation fol
lowing urination, feeling of full
ness, pains in the back, extending
over the hips and down the calves
of the legs.
This condition may become com
plicated if the bladder and kidneys j
ut-tvnic auci-ieu uum ine rcsiauai
urine. Residual urine stagnates in
the bladder, the symptoms of
which may be chills and fever. A
strain is put upon tho bladder to
expel the urine.' Getting. up from
seven lo ten times a night will
result In physical exhaustion. Many
cases of sciatica can be traced to
an inflamed prostate. There is a
close relation of the sciatic plexus
to that of the prostatic plexus and
associate ganglia and sucn cases
of sciatic trouble will not respond
to treatment until the prostatic
gland involvement has been cor
rected. .
The almost universal belief of
laymen that disease of the prostate
gland is the result of venereal dis
ease is wrong. Some of '.he clean
est living men are proslale suii'er
ei s. This organ is Intimately blend
ed with the nervous system. 1: pro
vokes, when diseased, the iroft
varied nervous troubles. Many
cases of baffling and obscure ner
vous cases can be traced to that
troublesome gland.
