The accident occurred about

Is over. ' -
This Is "sleep paralysis." a rare
malady connected apparently with
the mysterious mechanism ,of
sleep, One such 'patient, treated
successfully with insulin, is de
scribed in the A. M. A. Archives
of Neurology and Psychiatry by
Dr. Herbert A. Weitzner of Oak
land. Calif.
He tells of a Negro who had suf
fered sleep paralysis attacks
sometimes four a night for 10
years.. Rare was the night when
he didn't have at least one at
tack.
Struggles to Mot
He would waken gradually.
sometime after falling asleep, but
couldn't stir. He felt a generalized
sense of tingling. Fear of paraly
sis made him struggle to move.
Each time he-would wonder whe
ther this time he would recover.
Ability finally to move one mus
cle, or being touched by someone
else, broke the attack. Then he
could roll over, sit up, stretch,
and go back to sleep if it still
were night. -
The attacks, the man said,- nev
er lasted less than three minutes,
nor more than 10. The attacks
of sleep paralysis were quite dis
tinct from dreams.
Causes Unknown
The cause of sleep paralysis
is not known. Dr. Weitzner writes.
but appears to be physical and cor
rectable.
What part of the brain is af
fected to bring on sleep paralysis
is a mystery. One guess is that it
is the hypothalamus, a region be
lieved to be involved in the mech
anism of normal sleep.
Insulin treatments, which pro
duced a temporary lowering of
blood sugar, banished the man s
attacks, and he has been free for
14 months or more.
The insulin presumably had some
effect upon the hypothalamus, re
storing control over sleep to that
region of the brain. Dr. Weitzner
suggests. The man's memory abil
ity also was improved.
Solution of the puzzle of sleep
paralysis probably depends upon
discovery first of answers to the
mystery of normal human sleep
and awakening. 1
Ear Infection

to blame for some chronic ear in
fections that don't improve with
regular treatments. Dr. Eugene
L. Derlacki of Northwestern Uni
versity writers in the annals of
otolaryngology, rhinology and laryngology.
Discovery and avoidance of an
offending food or cosmetic or oth
er material, or building up im
munity to it, often brings good re
sults.
-BALTIMORE UF X-rays used
to remove hair, as in treatment
of ringworm of the scalp, can bring
premature graying of new hair in
children with a family history of
Premature Graying
So reports Dr. Israel Zeligman of
Baltimore in the A. M. A. Ar
chives of Dermatology and Syph

dren, each of whom had one par
ent who showed premature gray
ing of the hair.
Stimulate Glands
BLOOMINGTON, Ind. II) An
tibotics can stimulate endocrine
glands, making them produce more
hormones. Prof. W. R. Breneman,
Indiana University zoologist, finds.
In chickens,, the disease - killing
wonder drugs not only speed
growth of the glands, but step up
their output. . The work is part of
studies to learn how much hor
mones various glands normally se
crete,- and how glands mutually
affect one another.
IOWA Cmf, Iowa IB Young
diabetic patients offer clues to why
and how we grow old.
Those diabetics whose disease Is
not under good control age much
more rapidly than is normal, their
body : tissues degenerate more
quickly. Good control of diabetes,
through insulin and diet," delays
or prevents premature aging.
Here at the University of Iowa
College of -Medicine, a long-term
study is under way seeking rea
sons for this difference, what -the
changes are that bring premature
aging with poorly controlled dia
betes. The study is under overall
direction of Dr. Robert I Jack
son, a pediatrician.

Sparkman Asks
About Plans for
China Blockade
WASHINGTON UP) Sen. Spark
man (D Ala.) demanded Satur
day that the administration tell
Congress whether it plans a naval
blockade of Red China as Sen.
Knowland (R Calif.) renewed his
support of such a move.
Sparkman said in an interview
he isn't necessarily opposed to a
blockade but he wants to know
(1) if it would be an act of war,
(2) . if the United States should
undertake it alone, and (3) what
would be the consequences of such
action. f
Knowland, chairman of the Sen
ate Republican Policy Committee,
saKt ne believes in United Na
tions should institute a blockade
to halt shipments of war supplies
to the Communists in Korea. He
addded that the United States
should do it alone if other U. N.
nations balked.
Rep. Dewey Short (R Mo.),"
chairman of the House Armed
Services Committee, argued in a
separate interview that a blockade,
"instead of widening and ' length
ening the war, would shorten and
confine it and save lives."
Chairman H. Alexander Smith
(R NL) has promised to call Sec
retary of States Dulles before a
Senate Foreign Relations Subcom
mittee for questioning about ad
ministration plans as soon as the
secretary returns from Europe.
"I think we are less apt to
broaden the war if we don't per
mit Red China to keep bunding
up its supply dumps," Smith said.
Rep. Short said he believes Ei
senhower and the military leaders
have considered several "measures
short of all out shootina- war that
would bring pressure on the Com
munists to end the Korean stale
mate. Among possible moves he listed
increased rearmament of the Chi
nese Nationalists and more use of
other Asian troops, as well as a
naval blockade.
Short emphasized he has not dis
cussed strategy with the President
and could not speak officially for
him.

Tear Gas Halts
Maryland State
Hospital Riot -
CRONSVnXE, Md. UFi Police
used tear gas to choke off a riot
of criminal-insane prisoners at
Crownsville State Mental Hospital
for Negroes here Saturday night,
and captured one of an undeter
mined number that escaped.
The riot broke out in the maxi
mum security ward housing about
65 patients who had been convicted
of crimes ranging from larceny to
murder.
A knotted bed. sheet dangling
from a third floor window was ap
parently used as an escape ladder.
Police said shortly before 2 a. m.
(EST) Sunday that they had cap
tured one escapee in a wooded
area about a mile southeast of the
hospital.
They said they thought they had
another cornered. The recaptured
man was not immediately identi
fied, and it was not known how
many prisoners got away, but an
attendant said he thought "six or
seven."
One of three guards cornered by
the prisoners suffered cuts from
flying glass.
No other casualties were report
ed although the other two guards
locked up by the prisoners were
removed from the ward dazed and
shaken.
The riot started abou 10:15 p.m.
and a phalanx of state troopers,
county policemen and firemen
rushed into the milling detention
ward after firing a dozen rounds of
tear gas.
They used an acetylene torch to
cut their way through a heavy out
side barrier which the prisoners
had locked, and the single entry
to the corridor of the third floor,
the maximum security ward.
