'A Nichol's Worth of . rT
Comment On This and That
By HARMAN W. NICHOLS
United Press Fetur Wrir
"Washington (U.R) Louis
Zeni of Eveleth, Minn., doesn't
like to consider himself as handi
capped.'
Louis, now
46, was born
by an accident
of birth with
what is called
cerebral palsy.
A disease for
yr Si 3 wnicn mere is
lTrf I no known cure.
10 7 I But the affable
l L, 1 Louis has come
Harman Nichol further on the
way 10 re
covery than most victims of this
afflicition. He was here recently
as a delegate to the United Cere
bral Palsy Association meeting.
Louis was a ball of fire. He
spoke. He walked, with the help
of the cane, and he told about
what he has done for other vic
tims he knows in Minnesota.
Once Helpless
For a long time he was help
less. Then he got his back up.
Louis Zeni was not one to watch
the world go by without pushing
the world a little. So he went to
the medicos. They performed
five corrective operations, on the
nerves in the arms and legs.
His best friend during his "re
covery" period was Col. John
Hougen, who is retired from the
Pentagon staff and is former
president of the Crippled Chil
dren's Association of Minnesota.
Louis went through all sorts
of things. Gymnastics,, whilpool
sessions, therapy and surgery.
And then - this man; ! who
couldn't lift a bottle of milk to
feed'himself when he was five
years oldV decided to do some
thing for other kids afflicted
with palsy. V -
That was in 1941. .Harold E.
Stassen was governor 'of Minne
sota at the time. The head man
was on Lorrfs Zeni's "side.. He
gave him his blesing and urged
the Junior Chamber : of Com
merta to get behind this young
man. The chamber did.
The program went on from
there. It is going on still.
During our interview, Zeni
hesitated a few times in his
speech, but mostly he could be
understood without difficulty.
Through his efforts Louis has
collected uncounted thousands
sola and the idea is spreading.
"In Duluth," Louis told me,
"in six hours on a program we
collected $10,500. All of that
money goes to help other victims
of palsy. In Minneapolis, we
picked up $240,000 in 16 hours.
We are going places."
Louis has the will to get ahead.
He is one of the few palsy vic
tims to have a college degree.
"I got it," he said, "but with
out honors. Point is I got it.
Others can, if they will concen
trate, and cooperate in our train
ing." - .
Louis is married to a lovely
girl, Helen. They have a nice
little fellow, David, 6.
Conductors' Added
Responsibility Told
Chicago (U.R) A labor
economist for the Order of Rail
way Conductors and Brakemen
said train conductors have an
added responsibility because
locomotives are heavier than
they used' to be.
Eli Oliver, Washington, ap
peared "yesterday before a presi
dential fact finding board which
is hearing a dispute between the
nation's railroads and the union.
The union has . demanded a
graduated rate of pay depending
upon the weight of the locomo
tive with the present wage serv
ing as a minimum.
A railroad representative said
the demand was a "thinly dis
guised" demand for a wage boost
and that the carriers could not
afford to pay it.
KIESLING GETS PACT
Pittsburgh (U.R) With a
vote of confidence in the form
of a new two-year coaching con
tract stuffed in his ample pock
ets, big Walter Kie'sling primed
his Pittsburgh Steelers for their
final game against Cleveland
Sunday hoping to repeat an
earlier 55-27 defeat of the
Browns. Big Kies, termed a mir
acle man after he took over
from Coach Joe Bach, last Aug
ust, inked a new two-year con
tract with Steeler owner Art
Rooney Tuesday at a reported
$12,000 per year. Bach resigned
as head coach after the Steelers
absorbed their third straight
of dollars for his cause in.Minne- exhibition defeat.

This mother and child in Southern Vietnam, refugees from the
communist north, are typical of the hungry families you can feed
this Christmas by contributing $1 to CARE. -
Each dollar you give covers overseas distribution costs on two
CARE food packages containing a total of 29 lbs. of U.S. farm sur
pluses which have been wasting in storage. Two families who need
that food badly will thus each receive a 14-lb. CARE food package,
bearing your own name and address.
There are 1,227,500 of these CARE holiday packages for that many
needy families in 31 European- Latin American and Asian countries,
including Vietnam. The U. S. Government, released the food from
stocks not needed for U. S. welfare programs
All donations sent to "CARE Food Crusade. 660 First Ave.. New
York 16, N.Y.", or any local CARE office, will be acknowledged.
Donors of $5 or more will also receive receipts signed by the recipients
of each package they subscribe.
Hyperventilation Could
Be Fatal for Jet Pilots
San Antonio, Tex. (U.R) Suf
fering from dizzy spells due to
hyperventilation? Chances are it
won't be fatal unless you're a
jet pilot.
Hyperventilation is a com
paratively new medical term. It
affects many people. But fortu
nately, the medical profession
won't have to come up with a
new drug to combat it. All doc
tors have to do is get the pa
tient to breaths properly.
Hyperventilation -is the term
used by the medical profession
to indicate a person is breath
ing too deeply and losing carbon
dioxide too fast. That usually
isn't - anything to worry about,
unless the deep breathing is pro-
Ranga Value.

longed.
But in jet pilots, it's differ
ent. Fractions of a second oft
en means the difference between
life and death. And by breath
ing too deeply during anxious
moments, a pilot can induce a
slight dizziness.
That's what the School of Avi
ation Medicine has discovered,
Col. William H. Lawton, sur
geon of the Flying Training Air
Force, recently asked the school
to look into the connection be
tween hyperventilation and im
paired performance of jet pilots.
The school, under direction of
Dr. Robert T. Clark Jr., devised
a transparent box, about the
size of a portable radio, to mea
sure the amount of oxygen and
carbon dioxide with the per
formance , of a student pilot in
tense situations.
Tests also will be made with
pilots at Webb and Big Spring
Air Bases, both in Texas.
Resume Normal Breathing
The average person who suf
fers from hyperventilation
needn't worry much. About all
he has to do is to resume nor
mal breathing when he finds
that anxiety has caused him to
breathe unnaturally, inducing
dizziness.
A person suffering from hy
perventilation may have a tin
gling ; sensation in the fingers,
slightly fogged vision and poor
coordination. His breast will
probably heave like that of an
old-time movie vamp.
According to Air Force stud
ies, the best and quickest cure is
to stop worrying and resume
normal breathing. It's that simple.
Gail Russell Given
Delay in Drunk Case
Hollywood (U.R) Film
actress Gail Russell has been
granted a delay in her .trial on
drunk driving charges because
she is reported too ill to attend
a court hearing..
Municipal Judge Thurlow T.
Taft yesterday postponed the
trial in nearby Santa Monica
until Feb. 21. The actress is con
finded to Good Samaritan hos
pital with hepatitis, a form of
jaundice.
Dr. John Howard Payne testi
fied Miss Russell entered the
hospital during October in a
coma and near death. Judge Taft
granted the continuance reluct
antly, saying the actress "has
been stalling for a long time."
Miss Russell, former wife of
actor Guy Madison, was arrested
in Santa Monica Nov. 24, 1953,
fined $150 and given two years'
probation.
She was sentenced at that time
after pleading guilty to intoxica
tion, the companion charge of
drunk driving, both of which
were filed against her following
her early morning arrest.
Defense Test 'Moves'
150,000 Porflanders
Boise (U.R) About 150,000
evacuees from the Portland area
would be in Idaho today, had the
western civil defense exercise
yesterday been the real thing.
Findingshelter for the evacuees
and providing other" support for
the Pacific Northwest were just
a few of the problems that con
fronted Idaho civil defense of
ficials during the simulated
enemy air attack on the West
Coast.
Lt. Col. John Mamerow, state
civil deense director, said the
test appeared to have functioned
smoothly, with only the "usual
amount of confusion with communications."
