The "Aruba" Mutiny
What drama aad excitement the word of
mutiny on the high seas conveys! like the
cries of "Land!", . "Abandon' Ship!", and
Thar she blows!", the call to'mutinjr rings
with challenge, and evokes scenes of grave
decisions, great deeds, and brave men.
Those who love the tales of the sea and
who does not?-- can hardly wait to hear the
details of what has been happening on the
Finnish tanker "Aruba," the ship loaded
with jet fuel consigned to the Chinese Com
munists. The "Aruba's" crew refused to obey
orders to sail on to the Hong Kong destina
tion. At last report, the ship, is going to un
load the fuel at the Romanian port of Com
stanza and let the Reds worry about getting
it to their airfields.
What made the crew decide to take mat
ters into its own hands, break their con-
tract, defy their bosses, and deny the Com
munists easy access to 13,000 tons of high
grade kerosene (which is enough for 5,000
jet missions)? Was the motive for mutiny
merely saving their own skins if the " Aruba"
should have been attacked by Nationalists?
As neutral Finns, they technically would
have no direct interest in the fight between
Red China and Chiang or the Soviets and the
U. S. But are they neutral, these proud and
independent Norsemen?. Were there some
among that crew who remembered the Rus
sian rape of their homeland and saw this
chance for revenge against the feared Com
munists? This is a story that ought to have every
top U. S. news service and magazine waiting
at the dock when the "Aruba" ties up at an
accessible port. And the world will be
watching to see what disciplinary measures
are taken, ahd what effect this precedent
.will have on other men engaged in the pre
carious business of trading with the Reds.
Perhaps this mutiny will go down in history
along witi those at Spithead, Nore, Sheer
ness, Kiel, Cattaro, Kronstadt, and aboard
the "Bounty" and the "Sepoy Rebellion."
This might be a story that will put the
"Caine" into drydoclc ' M. W. W.
Revival of Peress Inquiry by Senate Group
Termed Dramatic Flop, Echo of Last Year

--r- a year ago, to
the endless, rambling, often bor
ing but sometimes strangely fas
cinating - Army - McCarthy- hear
ings. The cast of characters
was very much the same.
There was Sen. McClellan, and
the handsome Stuart Symington,
looking bored; and Mundt, look
ing as much as ever like a melt
ing mushroom; and Irwin, of
South Carolina every inch the
judge. And of course there was
McCarthy himself, mangier and
fatter than last year, and some
how at the same time visibly de
flated. And there were the
familiar witnesses Gen. Zwicker,'
and Army counsel John Adams,
and Army , Secretary Stevens.
There were moments of rath
er nostaligic drama, especially
when McCarthy asked one of his
brilliantly loaded- questions,' in
his ponderous, threatening, oddly
halting voice. But somehow the
show, never really got off the
ground. There was even a sort
of sadness about it, as there is
about most dramatic failures ,
perhaps especially because this
was so surprisingly pale an imi
tation of what had gone before,
and everybody is a year older
M surprisingly quickly.
: And yet there were certain les
sons to be learned from these
hearings. Take the casex of
Army counsel John Adams. A
year ago, the Adams face at
least the upper half of it, as it(
appeared in the famous picture
of him leaning his nose on a
chair was ene of the most fam
ous in the country. Yet at the
Peress hearings Adams looked
even more ghostly than the rest
of the cast almost disembodied.
And with good reason. -
! The Peress hearing is the Ad
ams swan song. As of April 1, he
will no longer be counsel of the
Army. It is not certain whether
he resigned or was fired at any
rate, it was made clear to him
that he was "too controversial."
and that his departure would be
welcomed. . ,
Adams will merit a footnote la
history. The detailed record
which he kept of the pressures
brought to bear oa the Army by
McCarthy, Coha & Company,
started McCarthy down the long
road he has travelled since. But
(or . present and practical pur
poses, Adams is "a poor player,
who struts and frets his hour up
oa the stage, and then is heard
no more." The poor player is
worried. Be has been in mili
tary or government service since
1S42, and in the circumstances it
is not easy to find 'a Job. There
is no Job oa the horizon, Adams is
intelligent, and no doubt he will
land oa his feet Tet his fate
Distribution of Elderly in Cities .
A map showing the distribution of the
population of SanT Francisco aged 65 and
over reveals that uregreatest concentration
of older persons is irvthe downtown area.
The percentage there runs to 14.6 per cent.
Only one of the outlying districts, Richmond,
between the Presidio and Golden Gate Park
has a percentage of over 12. One on the
fringe has only 2.7 per cent.
This distribution is easily confirmed by
visiting the suburbs of most any city. There
one finds blocks of new houses with children
playing around them. The older people con
centrate, in the rooming houses and apart
ment houses in the city center. This is true
both of the well-to-do and the impoverish
ed. 'The former have suites in hotels or
apartments, the latter crowd into flats and
lodging houses. They all want to be at the ,
center of things rather than on the outskirts.
Older people are gregarious; they like to be
together, and to a considerable extent are
forced to be together, for middle-aged and
young seek companions among their ' own
age groups. This concentration of elderly
persons offers an opportunity for social ser
vice which up to now is pretty much
neglected. -r
The other day uranium claims were filed
in Jackson County. More recently some have
been filed in Clackamas County. Who will
be the first to find a "hot" spot in the Sil

Editorial Comment
FOR UN: 56 CENTS A YEAR
From complaints, printed or otherwise, one
might infer -that American participation" in the
United Nations is very expensive. In absolute
figures it is. For the current year the United
States' contribution to the UN budget is $13,407,
290, plus $10,894,300 for related agencies, and
$68,354,871 for technical assistance, Korean re
lief, Palestine relief, Children's Fund, and other
UN special programs. This totals $92,656,461.
Yet it comes out of a federal budget calculated
in billions. When the cost is spread over more
than 150 million persons, the American Associa
tion for the UN figures that an average citizen's
share of the direct cost of United States member
ship in the UN the contribution to the UN
budget is only about eight cents a year. And
that when all the UN agencies and programs are
added, the total cost to the average American
is about 56 cents a year.
By comparison, the AAUN News remarks, "the
United States military budget is nearly $400 per
year per person." - -
In other words, whatever your tax bill (if you
are an American), you can figure that out of
each $100 you pay approximately $54 goes to
preserve peace through national armament and
defense organization, while approximately 14
ce:ts goes to promote peace through interna
tional cooperation and humanitarianism. Does
the 14 cents seems out of proportion? If so, on
which side?
should senre as a warning to all
government servants under

NEW HOPE IS OFFERED
JO NEURITIS SUFFERERS
By HERMAN N. BUNDESEN,
M.D.
There is new hope for persons
suffering from certain types of
neuritis.-, -'
Tests conducted by Dr. Richard
T. Smith of Pennsylvania Hos
pital indicate that administra
tion of Protamide may speed
recovery by as much as four
weeks. Protamide is a solution of
processed and denatured proteo
lytic enzyme obtained from the
glandular layer of fresh hog
stomach. '
Just - why this solution should
relieve pain . of neuritis victims,
we do not know. But the tests of
Dr. Smith indicate that it does.
Dr. William Marsh of the Na
tional Naval Medical Center has
reported that Protamide is also
valuable in the treatment of
herpes zoster, or shingles.
There are many causes and
many types of neuritis. For in
stance, it may .develop as- an
aftermath of other virus infec
tions, such as a sevre upper
respiratory infection.
But in all types, pain is the
chief symptom.
Neuritis is an inflammation of
the nerves. When it is present in".
t the spinal root, we call it radicu-
litis.
Dr. Smith included 104 patients
in his study. They had various
types of neuritis, but all were
cases where there was inflam
jmatory involvement of the nerve
-root. Also. .all patients had pre
. vious virus infection within three
weeks before their neuritis
began.

it was determined that none had

ican army, in mountains of pa

rich profusion of typewriters and

It might have been a lot more
useful to ask, indeed, why it was
necessary for as many as sixty
high and medium officers and of
ficials to concern themselves with
the firing of a left-wing dentist.
The answer might reveal a lot
about why we must recruit more
than 60,000 men for every divi
sion in the field, while the Rus
sians need only 22,000.
Meanwhile, it is at least reas
suring that the Peress hearings
were so tedious, in their ghost
like way. For the very boring
ness of the hearings suggests that
the country has recovered a lot
of its sanity in the last year.

wounds which might have raused
the neuritis.
Intramuscular injections of 1.3
cc. of Protamide were adminis
tered once each day for five
days. In cases where all pain had
not been relieved within this per
iod. Dr. Smith reported, the
treatments were continued for
another five days.
Eighty-four of the 104. he said,
made complete recoveries within
five or ten days. The average
course of untreated neuritis is
from three to six weeks.
It is important. Dr. Smith saysf
to begin treatment as quickly as
possible. The 49 patients who
reported compete relief within
fivrf days had been ill not longer
tha&, four days before treatment
was begun. ;,
On the other hand, the 20
patients who did not respond
satisfactorily to treatment had
suffered symptoms for more than
a week before therapy was start
ed. , This -is what's new in medical
science's never-ending fight to
aid neuritis victims. But there
are older effective measures doc
tors can take, too. I'll tell you
about some of these tomorrow.
QUESTION AND ANSWER,
K.M.: I have developed a num
ber of warts at the base of my
neck, due to wearing metal neck
laces. Is there any medicine that
removes warts?
Answer: Warts may, in some
instances, be removed by cauter
izing them with acetic acid, or by
freezing them with carbon diox
ide snow. They may also be re
moved by the application of nitric
acid, or by means of an electric
needle.
You might consult with a phy
sician as to the best type of
treatment of your warts.

Ike Attitude on
Yalta Shock'
To McCarthy
WASHINGTON (UP) Sen.
Joseph R. McCarthy (R-Wis) said
he is "shocked beyond words" at
President Eisenhower's attitude to
ward the Yalta Conference re
cords. McCarthy's latest attack on the
President was provoked by Mr.
Eisenhower's news conference re
marks this week about publication
of the 1945 Yalta Conference
documents.
Mr. Eisenhower had said he
favors making public all pertinent
documents of all wartime secret
conferences. But he added that,
"There is nothing. . .to be gained
by going back 10 years and show
ing that, in the light of after-events,
someone may have been wrong
or someone may have been right.
People that are so sure that we
could do this, forget one thing:
You fan never recapture the afc
mosphere of war."
McCarthy lashed out at the
President in an angrily worded
statement which said in part:
"Yes, someone may have been
wrong someone was wrong," he
said. "Wrong enough to sell into
Communist slavery 600 million
people; wrong enough to have
drought about the Korean War
which cost so many American
lives; wrong enough to set the

Businessmen
PORTLAND W Easter trade
is disappointing this year, the
cny s leaaing aepartment stores
reported Saturday. They blamed
cold, wet weather arid the earlv
date of this Easter.
Only one store, however, reported
business under the volume of last
year at this time. The others said
business was about equal to 1954.
AH said they were disappointed,
because they had expected an
increase.
One store reported business
ahead of last year. That is a
men's wear store. A spokesman
there credited the later income tax
deadline for the improved trade?
Most stores reported sales
trending toward the higher priced
dresses and luxury items, although
one women's store said sales were
good in lower-priced items. A
trend for color was noted in both
boys' and girls clothes.
