The vitamins and vitamin like chemical substances - are mainly those of the "B" complex group which have a hand in the body's chemical handling of oxy gen and fats. Fat Particle Deposits This form of artery - harden ing is atherosclerosis. It is caused by the depositing of fat particles, cholesterol, in the blood stream on the innermost lining of blood" vessels. Dr. Israel"! work was based on the theory first proposed by Dr. W. C. Hueper that all forms of artery hardening have a com mon basis in a diminished ability of body chemistry to utilize oxy gen. Thyroid hormone and vitamin components participate in that utilization. The problem was to work out balances of vitamins, vitamin-like substances, and hor mone which would correct the chemical flaw. When the work began it was supposed generally that prolong ed taking of thyroid hormone would produce "side effects" worse than the disease being treated. Israel feels he has now demonstrated conclusively that when hormone is correctly com bined with vitamins it can be taken indefinitely without harm. But the various vitamin B Hollywood Trio Air Crash Victims Hollywood (U.R) Screen actor Robert Francis, 25, and two companions died instantly Sunday night when their single engine plane crashed and burned near Lockheed Air Terminal. Francis, who achieved star dom in his role as Ensign Willie Keith in the film version of "The Caine Mutiny," was iden tified by Burbank police as the pilot of the four-seat Beechcraft Bonanza which crashed shortly after takeoff. The other two victimi were identified as actress Ann Rus sell, 24, and Hollywood agent Irving G. Meyers, 36. Miss Russell, whose real name was Mrs. Audrey Anne Dorsch, was believed to have been di vorced from Lt. Edward Dorsch, stationed at Lowry Air Force Base, Colo. She is the mother of three children. Airport officials said Francis, a fledgling pilot, borrowed the plane owned by actor Joe Kirk wood Jr., the "Joe Palooka," of the movies. Tower operators in nearby Burbank said it appeared from Francis' handling of the plane that he was "inexperienced." Witnesses said the plane's en gine began to sputter shortly after takeoff. The pilot circled and attempted to glide ' to a landing, they said. But the plane suddenly nosed over and crashed from a low altitude. The plane crashed into a Lockheed Aircraft parking lot near the south end of the field and burst into flames. Police said the occupants were killed instantly. OUCH! St. Albans, England (U.R) An anguished scream from a portly male nudist broke up the judging at a nudist camps beauty contest Sunday but fears that the scenery was. too much for his heart proved unfounded. "I just sat on a lighted ciga rette," he explained. Michigan is the nation's sev enth largest producer of chemi cals. More than 32,000 men and women are employed by chemi cal firms in the state. comDlex DreDarations available were useless the precisely cor rect balance was everything. He worked out three medicines. The first was a combination of hor mone with B complex elements involved in the metabolism of oxygen. This came out in the form of pills. The second was a combination of B-12 to step up the metabolism of cholesterol and a hormone which came out as a liquid for injection. The third was a combination of B complex elements involved in the metabolism of fats generally. This also came out as pills. Restored To Former Health In presenting his results in the journal of digestive diseases, Is rael gave a detailed run - down on patient : "E.H." because his atherosclerosis was in the coro nary artery of the heart and there it is most difficult to treat. The successful results in 20 oth er patients were presented in statistical form. E.H.'s course had been steadily downhill after a heart attack. He had a second attack and his future was most questionable. Now, after five years of treat ment, he has been restored fo his former health and is living his usual life. The cholesterol level of his blood has been drastically lowered and stabilized at the lower level. He has to take his pills and get his injections regu larly, but he has been relieved of his rigid high protein-low cholesterol diet. Israel indicad that the treat ment could prevent as well as control atherosclerosis. Italy Premier Tells 10-Year Plan To End Unemployment, Poverty (Editor's Note: Robert E. Jackson, neace with spruritv ent and .. .. .. . . t'nited Press rhief corresnonde manager for Italy, has obtained the first exclusive jnterview granted to any newsman by Antonio Segni. Italy's new premier. It is the first interview for publication given by an Italian premier in almost two years. The fol lowing dispatch relates Segni's reac tion to the recent Geneva conference and his plans for his NATO-member nation.) By ROBERT E. JACKSON United Press Correspondent Rome (U.R) Premier Antonio Segni said today he intends to push a 10-year plan to wipe out unemployment and poverty, two chronic ills which have helped breed Communism in this NATO-member nation.- The newly-named government head also credited the decisive action of President Eisenhower at the Big Four Geneva confer ence with opening the way to In the first interview he has granted, the 64-year-old land re form expert disclosed that his new government plans to do the following: - 1. Open the gates for produc tive private investment from the United States and other foreign nations. 2. Act quickly to speed the development of Italy's oil re sources. To Press Land Program r 3. Press the land reform pro gram he himself launched as agricultural minister five years ago. r- The slim Sardfnian-born pro fessor, who heads a pro-Western, four-party centrist coali tion,' said he believes the Gen eva conference has increased the chances for peace. "I think we can be satisfied with the Geneva conference," he said. "If, as may be hoped, those who direct Soviet policy are convinced that the West does not have aggressive aims, that NATO and the Western European Union are defensive organizations, it will be less dif ficult to reach agreements from now on than it was in the past. "The conference has marked ly increased the chance of or ganizing peace with security. President Eisenhower's far-seeing action has contributed de cisively to this precious result." Segni said he is concentrating on economic and social issues. He said the reform program, which has brought land to more than half a million tiersons. will pass a milestone this year. Here is what he reported oft his plans: Ten Year. Plan: "My govern ment has accepted the 10-year plan for increasing employment ahd the national income the Vanoni plan as the basis for its economic policy. The plan revolves around the coordina tion of private enterprise and state enterprise. Land Reform: "After four years of land reform, the 100, 000th family of landless peas ants will receive a farm this year. . " "The policy which led to these results in the most backward re gions will be pressed forward strongly. In addition, we in tend to press our efforts to achieve maximum stability for the small holder on his plot, and to increase production by means of economic and technical meas ures." Oil: "In the particular field of -hydrocarbons, from which e expect an important contribu tion to the improvement of "Our economy, my government has announced these directives: De velop production as far as it will go to safeguard the public interest without failing to en courage private enterprise, avoid monopolies and the cen tralization of exploiting conces sions in a few firms, reduce as far as possible the administra tion's powers of discretion." Segni rejected charges that Italy had failed to live up to its postwar agreement with Austria on the treatment of the German-speaking minority in the Italian south Tyrol. He said, "I think few minorities in the world have such liberal treat ment as the 214,000 3ermar speaking Italians." Montana has gained 54,000 since 1950 and ncrp has about 654,000 residents. Marines, Soldiers Receive Warning To Cool Tempers Honolulu (U.R) Marines and Army soldiers had a warning to day to "cool off" as a result of the bayonetting of two Marines by soldiers during mock war ma neuvers. The bayonetting resulted in the death of Pfc. Robert Thomas McGinnis, Pittsburgh, Tex., and the'wounding of another Marine in the leg. McGinnis' slayer was identified as Army Sgt. William Minton, 22, Montgomery, Ala. Authorities said the bayonettting was an accident. Fleet Marine Force headquar ters warned the leathernecks they will be restricted to quar ters if there are any clashes with soldiers in town. The Army spokesman for the 25th division said GIs were given a "routine precaution to cool off." Otherwise, the military dis closed few details of the bayonet ting, which took place during last week's joint maneuvers in which soldiers and leathernecks were not supposed to make bodily con tact. The Army said it would take "three or four days" at least be fore it can finish interviewing the 200 men in Minton's com pany at Schofield Barracks and correlate their stories. Fighting Told However, newsmen covering the war games reported some sol diers and Marines fought openly when news of McGinnis' death became known. r One soldier, Cpl. Donald Mann, 22, said he was "captured" and a leatherneck kicked him while another hurled a rock that struck him in the head. DEPUTIES SAVE MONEY Newark, 'N. J.
