Castor Oil 'Cousin' Effective
In Stubborn Skin Ailment
i' By ALTON L. BLAKESLEE
(Unitd Prew Science Writer)
New York, Nov. 22 (If) An old drug," a cousin of castor oil,
often helps overcome psoriasis, one of the oldest and most stub
born of skin diseases, skin specialists report.
The drug is undecylenic acid, a by-product of castor oil. It
has been known for about .90 years, but only lately was tried
against psoriasis. ;
Results vary, but up to 4U per
cent of patients get rid of the
skin ailment, at least temporar
ily, the studies show.
Psoriasis, one of the four most
common skin ailments, is an
outbreak of reddish patches of
skin with silver-colored scales.
They appear mainly on the
scalp, and around knees and el
bows. ,
The disease may spread over
large areas of the body. The out
breaks come and go, and may
continue throughout life.
Medical historians report the
disease was often mistaken for
leprosy, ever as late as the mid
dle ages. The cause has not been
learned, and for centuries noth
ing could be done for it.
Some drugs and salves help,
but don't bring permanent cure,
said Dr. Herman Goodman, as
sociate clinical professor of der
matology and sphilology, New
York Universioy Medical Col
lege. But undecyclenic acid, a
fat-like chemcial, looks promis
ing. Dr. Henry Harris Perlman of
Philadelphia tried it on 17 pa
tients with chronic psoriasis. All
showed improvement, with re
lief from itching, and complete
or partial clearing up of the
scales.
Continued use of the acid also
seemed to prevent recurrence of
the disease in some patients, Dr.
Perlman said. It is taken by
mouth, in gelatin capsules to
hide its bad taste and odor.
Vitamin A' brings benefits
sometimes also, Dr. Goodman
said.

KKK Headed by
Former Grocer
Augusta, Ga., Nov. 22 ()
The Augusta Chronicle reported
yesterday that Ku Klux Klans
men in North Carolina and
South Carolina have joined for
ces under the leadership of a
former grocer. .
The union was announced, the
paper said, in an exclusive hi
terview by Reporter Esther.
Young with the new grand dra
gon, Thomas L. Hamilton of
Leesville, S.C.
Members of the robed order
who sat in on the interview
heralded the merger as a move
toward a nationwide klan.
Hamilton, who said he had
been a klansman since 1926, de
clared his first action will be
"to weed out all those persons
who are using the klan for sel
fish and political reasons."
The grand dragon said the
Carolina association has "thou
sands of high type men and we
intend to keep it that way."
Hamilton asserted his organi
zation advocates white suprema
cy, separation of church and
state, free speech, free press, and
liberty and justice for all."
The former Augusta grocer
said the Carolina group will be
unmasked as ordered by law.

Vivien Keiiems
Sues Uncle Sam
Bridgeport, Conn., Nov. 22 (IP)
Vivien Kellems fired a law
suit at the government and more
criticism at Secretary of the
Treasury Snyder 'today in her
battle against the income tax
withholding law.
The suit, Miss Kellems an
nounced here, was filed in fed
eral district court in an effort
to recover $7,819.20 which, she
asserted, the government took
from her "in the tradition of the
boldest bank robber."
Of Snyder, she said:
"The only difference between
Mr. John Snyder and Mr. Jesse
James is Mr. James was an 'out
law' and used a gun."
Previously, Miss Kellems had
invited Snyder to have her in
dicted for her refusal to collect
withholding taxes from her em
ployes in her cable grip manu
facturing plant. She wanted to
be indicted, she explained, in
order to test the constitutional
ity of the withholding tax.
Her invitation has gone ig
nored. The treasury department,
instead, has seized $7,819.20 of
her money through liens on her
company's bank accounts.
It's that money, she said to
day in a prepared speech to the
Bridgeport Chamber of Com
merce announcing the suit, that
she now hopes to recover from
the government.

One of the chief entertainers is a violinist. It's been a long

This one is a bit special, too,
being a 19-year-old girl named
Maria Neglia, who arrived in

Italy exactly a year before she
began her Plaza engagement.
Miss Neglia is a dark, flashing-eyed

She intersperses light stuff
with the classics and completely
captivates the customers.
