TESTIFIES Lieut. Gen. Leslie R. Groves, bead of the wartime
A-bomb project called to testify before the joint Congressional Atomic
Energy Commission In Washington, tells reporters that the asserted
espionage of Dr. K. E. J. Puchs may have given Russia "well over
year's advantage" in developing an A-bomb. Gen. Groves went be
fore the committee to explain how Dr. Puchs managed to gain access
to the most vital V. 8. atomic secrets. Dr. Puchs, a top British scien
tist, was arrested in London by Scotland Yard agents on a tip from
the American FBI.

Not To Be Minister
Philadelphia, Feb. 10 (U.R)
Pretty Colleen Townsend, who
gave up a $750-a-week movie
career for "full-time" Christian

"Preaching is a man's job,"
the said last night.
The blue-eyes, 21-year-old
movie starlet was vague, how
ever, on her "Christian work"
plans. "Whatever God wants me
to do, that's what I will do," she
said.

the passage from which it came.
tne first stage of gall bladder dis
ease is established. Bile in the
gall bladder is normally a little
more concentrated than it Is in
the bile passages. This appears
to be due to the capacity of the
gall bladder wall to absorb some
of the water which is a con
stituent of the bile.
During digestion it seems that
a squirt or two of concentrated
bile is more effective than thin
ner bile. Bile issues from the
liver in two slender, muscular
tubes which join, forming one
tube which terminates in the
small bowel near the lower end
of the stomach. An off-shoot
from the single tube, below its
junction with the other, leads to
the gall bladder. Thus, bile flows
both ways In the tube leading to
the gall bladder. Theoretically,
bile flows into the gall bladder
between meals and flows out
during meals.
Bile is essential to the diges
tion of fats. When the bile pas
sages are obstructed, bile is ab
sorbed by the blood and the pa
tient shows evidence of it by be
coming jaundiced. This applies,
however, only to obstruction in
the main passage. The passage
HE CALL BLADDER
leading to the gall bladder may
be obstructed without causing
jaundice.
Gall stones may form in the
presence of delayed or stagnant
bile. This is invariably accom
panied by some abnormal change
in the gall bladder wall which in
terferes with the water-absorbing
function of the gall bladder.
Infection, incident or secondary
to changes in the gall bladder
wall, is thought to be a factor
in the formation of gall stones.
A gall bladder may be c o m e
acutely inflammed as the result
of infection, or may be chronical
ly inflammed for years in con
junction with the presence of
stones. The gall bladder may be
come distended with pus may
undergo gangrene may rupture
just like an appendix does. It
may become enormously en
larged or may constrict down
tightly around a single small
stone. All kinds Of things can
happen to a gall bladder.
A stone in a gall bladder may
produce no symptoms whatever.
But if the stone becomes wedged
in, or passes through the gall
bladder passage into the main
stem, the victim immediately
ceases believing in Santa Claus.
I mean it's downright uncomfort
able, to say the least.
Many persons afflicted with
diseased gall bladder with or
without stones (usually with) are
the victims of a wide range of
dyspeptic symptoms, ranging
from sourness and a sensation of
pressure to actual pain, loss of
appetite and nausea. These symp
toms often lead to self-diagnosed
"ulcers," "indigestion," "gas" or
"constipation." All of these, of
course, are figments of the imag
ination. When gall bladder diseases ts
firmly established, the best way
to handle it is to take the gall
bladder out and have done with
it. Life is too short to fool around
endlessly with a diseased gall
Woman's Body Found

Police identified the woman
as Mrs. Betty Jean Guillory,
wife of a seaman.
Capt. William Dowie of the
homicide squad said someone
had searched the room thorough

clothing and papers and drawers
were askew.
Police detained Fernando Fa

a "date" with the slain woman
at 3 a.m. Monday. "But she didn't

Due To Lack Of Coal
Chicago, Feb. 10 (U.R) The
coal shortHge resulting from the
United Mine Workers strike
changed the pattern of life for
many Americans today.
Lansing, Mich., with 180,000
residents, became the first city
to order an electrical "brown
out" to conserve coal. Street
lights were dimmed, household
ers closed off extra rooms, and
business firms turned off adver
tising display lights.
The city had 26 days' supply
of coal on hand.
Situation "Pathetic"
Secretary William A. Honeck
er of the Michigan Coal Dealer's
association claimed that the sit
uation was "pathetic."
"In another week, people will
be borrowing coal by the sack
from each other to keep warm,"
he said.
Salesmen, businessmen, and
tourists were checking with rail
roads to determine how the
schedule cutbacks ordered by the
interstate commerce commission
would affect their travels.
The ICC, which had already
reduced passenger service on
some railroads by a third last
January, issued a new directive
yesterday for a flat 50 per cent
cut in service for all coal-burning
passenger trains and a 25
per cent slash ill coal - using
freight service.
Knoxville, Tenn. (U.R) Mr.
and Mrs. H. C. Lulz sued the

board for $3,000. The reason for
the suit was that the board had
chopped down one of the Lutz'
shade trees.

We have, of course, a deep respect for
Abraham Lincoln and other great men who served
America. We join with all other patriotic American
citizens in honoring him. We doubt, however, the
wisdom of showing our regard by curtailing service
to the public when practically all other businesses are
open. Popularity of six-day, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. hour,
now in effect in many of our banking offices prove!
that Oregonians want banking hours extended, rather
than shortened.
Lincoln once said, " . , . I shall adopt new views aJ
fast as they shall appear to be true views. It It with
this same feeling that we disregard an old banking
practice which we consider among "the dogmas of
the quiet past," We consider it our obligation to pro

times that suit your convenience.
Most people and businesses will be "on the job
