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,

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.

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. : .

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
