Method to Halt Progressive Form
Of Hardening of Arteries Solved

AfU? 10 years of, study and

of 195 over the first half of
ses. 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.

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.

form of pills. The second was a
combination of B-12 to step up

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.
