t if EIGHT MEDFCRD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Monday, November 8, 1954 ' s & ,, & TV, 0 LOOMING LARGE in Senate's consideration of recommendation by special committee that Senator McCarthy (R), Wis., be cen sured are Brig, Gen. Ralph W. Zwicker (left) and Irving Peress (right), who received honorable discharge as Army major de spite McCarthy's ccarge he was "Fifth Amendment Communist.' McCarthy's criticism, of Zwicker, who permitted Peress' dis charge, was grounds on which committee acted. (International) Uemployed Mona rchs Plentiful in Europe; All Seeking Thrones Paris U.R) "Desirable couple with experience, seek position on comfortable throne, Salary no object. Will travel." - This want ad hasn't appeared in any newspaper but it might as well. Unemployed monarchs were never more plentiful in Eu rope and they are all anxious to get back on the job. Of course they wouldn't resort to the classi fied page. That wouldn't be dig nified. C And dignity, in many cases, is all they have left. . Some of Europe's deposed nobles are flat broke. Others live as royally as possible on what remains of their - family fortunes. All of them are keen ly interested in politics, with an eye toward the future. They hope it will be kinder than the past. Wars Took Thrones World War I sealed the fate of the houses of Hapsburg, Hohenzollern and Romanoff. Popular dissatisfaction after the war tossed Bourbon : King Al- phonse XIII out of Spain. World War II ended the. dynasties of Romania, Yugoslavia, Bulgaria and Albania. Italians voted away the throne of their Umberto. Leo pold of Belgium lost his crown to his son. , - There is always a chance, as the royal mind sees it, that his tory will take a hew turn. Take Greece, for instance. King Paul and Frederika were restored to power there. . ' But of the hundreds of Kings, Queens, Princes, Grand Dukes, archdukes, counts and barons foot-loose in Europe today only a handful stand much chance of regaining their lost dominions. Don Juan Hopeful One of the most optimistic of exiled royalists is Don Juan, the handsome 41-year-old pre tender to the throne of Spain. From neighboring Portugal h6 has been negotiating for - some time P with Generalissimo Fran cisco Franco for restoration of the monarchy. . - . :j The Spanish royal family is, as exiles go, well fixed financial ly. The late Alphonse, XIII was allowed to take out most of his family fortune when he left the country 30 years ago. ; Another' ex-monarch who is far from poor is Umberto of Italy, who owes his financial good fortune to the' fact his great grandfather King Humbert was assassinated in 1900. At that time a suni rumored to be sev eral million pounds was paid to the House of Savoy by insurance companies and deposited in Brit ish banks. . Many Earn Own Living ; y But a deposed nobleman 'is lucky if he doesn't have to earn his own living. The flood of noble-blooded ref ugees from Russia after the 1918 revolution turned dukes into but lers and counts into taxi drivers. "Poor as an Archduke" became a favorite expression. Ex-King Alexander of Yugo slavia now works as a business representative. ' Archduke Josef Franz Von Hapsburg is a pro fessional, writer. . Other Haps burgs have gone into banking. Danilova Ballet Group Provides 'Enjoyable Evenina for Reviewer By R. D. WERNER The 1954-55 season of Jack son County Civic Music associa tion was launched Saturday, Nov. 6, at the Senior High school audi torium with the presentation of Alexandra Danilova, prima bal lerina, with Roman Jasinsky, Moscelyne Larkin and Michael Maule. V ; Although the performance was scheduled to begin at 8 o'clock, and the members were so noti fied, habitual latecomers were able once again' to penalize those who were punctual. It seems rea sonable that the directors could have all performances and con certs begin on time in favor of the many who abide by the rules. As in the larger cities, late com ers could be seated after the first number on the program. Let us hope such will be the case in the future in fact at the next performance. Danilova Great Artist To say that Danilova (pro nounced Dan-IL-ova) is a great artist is unnecessary she has been acclaimed all over the world and the audience respond ed most generously in their de light of. her art. , The first number, called "Chopiana," in which the music of Chopin was used, was in . the classical grand manner of the Russian ballet. It is dancing at its most difficult, requiring from its adherents long hours of ted ious and strenuous practice to acquire the technique adequate enough to execute the many dif ferent steps and movements re quired. But to the writer it is cold perfect, but cold. The par ticipants never smile, also. Only the initiated fully apreciate it. In the "Cotillon," music by Ghabrier, Miss Larkin and Mr. Janinsky proceeded to "crack the ice." Choreography was by the great Balanchine. The '"Nutcracker Pas de Deux,'? music by Tschaikowsky, has been a favorite recently, hav ihg been performed . in, , its . en tirety in several parts of the country. Danilova and Mr. Maule SCIENCE AT WORK i New York (U.R) Perhaps we ! shouldn't look at this right now, but we can look safely if we're careful not to jump to any con clusions Multiple sclerosis is one of the most dreadful, most incurable, and most mysterious diseases known to man. It was one of the things wrong with a patient of Dr. John F. Kurtzke and Louis Berlin of the Veterans Hospital in the Bronx. They gave him isonicotinic acid hydrazide for one of the other things, and what do you know! : the multiple sclerosis seemed to get better. : Now, i.aJi., or isoniazid, as it is called for short, is an exceed ingly potent drug, particularly against the bacteria which cause tuberculosis. But no one had even guessed that it might be good for multiple sclerosis. The doctors tried it on a few more m.s. patients and were en couraged to go on to a large number 30. Ninety per cent of them improved with " isoniazid, seven per cent were just as sick as ever, and three per cent got worse. ' i - Plea To Doctors. ; In the nine previous years the hospital had had 175 m.s. pa tients. They hadn't been given isoniazid of course nor" had they been given much of any thing. There is notreatment for m.s., really. - - - Of this group, 33 per cent had improved during their hospital stay, 50 per : cent were not changed, and 17 per cent got worse. So the two doctors believe that isoniazid had- something to do with how well their patients iared, although they -were far from sure it had or,- if it had, Correction Deadline Date for Checking Your Numbers for . drawing at our Store Is 1 NOV. 10 Not Nov. 15 as Erroneously Stated in ' ; Sunday's Ad F. E. Samson Co. 4th & Front Ph. 2-5295 how it had helped. They describ ed tneir experiences in a tech nically detailed article in The American Review of Tuberculo sis. In effect, it was a plea to all doctors everywhere to look into it. - One of the pecularities about m.s. is that its victims often im prove spectacularly but tempor arily for no apparent cause. The disease attacks .. the arms - and legs, imprisons people in wheel chairs and .beds, affects their speech, and usually slowly gels worse, j ' It is classfied as a disease of the central nervous system. There have been various sugges tions of its ' cause none proven and the fact it, its cause is un known. - v Drs. Kurtzke and Berlin said they knew very well that, evalu ating any treatment for mj. was "extremely difficult." But they had to be impressed by what they had found out, as for in stance: . ,.'-. , Of their isoniazid patients, 53 per cent had been unable te walk unaided when admitted to the hospital. Of the other group, 33 per cent were unable to walk unaided. When the latter group left the hospital, this percent age group left the hospital, this percentage remained the same, but in the ' isoniazid group, the 53 per cent dropped to 33 per cent upon discharge. ' Four of their patients "show ed improvement on . isoniazid, worsening with cessation of ad ministration, and then improv ing concomitant with reinstitu tion of the drug." Since their discharge, all their patients have been kept under scrutiny. The periods vary from four to 17 months. . . -. "There has been no new at tack, no regression of status, no new abnormality," the doctors said. "Some of the more severely handicapped patients are still improving Nvhile continuing to receive isoniazid." - Their report is bound to start many doctors ' experimenting with isoniazid in m.s, patients. If there is anything to these hopeful signs, it'll be proven in time. Meanwhile, it's not safe to jump to any, conclusion. This disease has baffled many keen McKay Sees Oil Payments Helpful Salem U.R) Secretary of In terior Douglas McKay said here yesterday. that he expected the department to become; self-sup porting within a few years from federal revenues from oil drilled in the continental shelf. ' McKay, who addressed the National Reclamation associa tion convention at Portland to day, arrived at Portland Inter national airport Saturday night and came directly here. ' The secretary said ' the inte rior" department now receives about $225,000,000 annually from range rentals, repayment of reclamation projects and oil fees. The department's budget for the current fiscal year was $410, 000,000. , : ; i McKay said he does not expect the department's program to be materially altered by the recent elections, which he did not con sider a repudiation of President Eisenhower's power policies. . Medford Man Wins Grants Pass Suit ? Grants Pass Warren G. Lari mer, Medford, defendant in a $829.97 damage suit brought by the city of Grants Pass, won the suit in an 11 to 1 vote by the jury. The case was tried at Grants Pass Saturday morning. The suit was brought against him as the result of an automo bile accident in Grants Pass last Aug. 7, involving a car driven by Larimer and -' one driven by a Grants Pass City Police officer, Herman Morasch. The amount of the suit was to cover damages to the policeman's car. Both sides charged negligence on the part of the other driver. Phil Lowry and Erv Hogan, Medford attorneys, represented Larimer. ; did an adagio, two variations and a finale. It was from this ballet that Tschaikowsky arranged his famous "Nutcracker Suite." "Beautiful Blue Danube" and "Drummer," both with music by Johann Strauss, were good light fill-ins, allowing time for change of costuming. Outstanding Number "Carib Peddler,", with music by the modern French composer, Darius Milhaud, was the out standing number as far as the writer is concerned. Miss Lar kin, daughter of an American Indian father and a Russian mother, was a delight. Her flir tation and final repulse of Mr. Maule's Peddler was a definite, very high light. Their perform ance left nothing to the imagin ation. "Mile. Fifi," created last year by Zachary Solov of the Metro politan Opera, for Danilova, was the piece de resistance. It is a delightful French farce concern ing the gay lady who has a hus band and a lover with its ensu ing hilarious denouement when the three sides of the triangle come together. . . . Daniel Gordon and Richard Ellis very capably performed at two pianos for the dancers be sides some entracte music by Debussy and Brahms. Altogether an enjoyable evening. Sheppard Listens As Defense Lawye r Quizzes Coroner n Bfc (M y fife" vi2x) LINKED ROMANTICALLY by Hollywood gossips, . Film Star Grace Kelly and Dress Designer Oleg Cassini decline comment ':" on their plans, as they attend party given by Julius Flelschman for Tallulah Bankhead at New York hotel. (International) S i I ve r B eaver Ava rd s Presented at Banquet Cleveland (U.R)- Dr. Sam uel H. Sheppard sat in an atti tude of, prayer today while a medical examiner told in minute detail how he picked into Shep- pard's beaten wife's brain in a post-mortem examination. In a prolonged cross-examina tion of Dr. Lester Adelson, coun ty deputy coroner, the defense in the Sheppard murder trial seemed to be trying to estab lish that Mrs. Marilyn Sheppard died of suffocation from her own'blood. - f ' -' Murder Contended The state changes that Shep pard,' 30, an osteopath-surgeon, bludgoned his wife to death with repeated savage blows on the head after the two had quarreled over Sheppard's attentions to 'other women during the nine year marriage. . Chief defense counsel William J. Corrigan also made every ef fort to bring out his contention that Dr. Adelson was' negligent in the autopsy and in the report he wrote about it. The deputy coroner had said Mrs. Sheppard, 31, who was four months pregnant when mur dered, died of the heavy blows that fractured her skull in many places and ' hemorrhaged her brain. Advises Lawyer As the technical questioning continued through ' the opening session; Dr. Sheppard abandoned his prayer-like attitude s and moved up next to associate de fense counsel Fred W. Garmone and dictated what seemed to be a brain surgeon's advice to Cor rigan in asking questions. Corri gan had gone earlier to the -defendant and queried him about a technical medical point in the questioning. : .

(U.R) Califor nia bees can help raise better cabbage, ,, the National Kraut Packers Association learned at its meeting here. A manual prepared by the as sociation said bees are an in tegral part of a five-year plan of the NKPA to produce a strain of seed that should yield cab bages of higher vitamin C than the heads now used for kraut. The bees, a special breed from California, were selected be cause they have been found' to be more active in the colder months.
