Rename Haioyama Prime Minister In Japanese Vole Tokyo (U.R; Ichiro Hato yama was reelected prime min ister of Japan by parliament to day and promptly formed a new government with the Japanese conservative political forces united behind him. The 72-year-old Hatoyama won the post over Socialist Party leader Mosaburo Suzuki by a tvote of 233 to 150 in the House of Representatives, and by 149 to 64 in the upper House of Councillors. It was the third time Hatoyama has been named prime minister since his political comeback a year ago. Hatoyama promptly an nounced the formation of a cabi net made up of leaders of the Liberal-Democratic party, born only a week ago by the merger of the Liberal and Democratic parties. The cabinet included 10 former Democrats and seven former Liberals. Mamoru Shigemitsu, 68, the one-legged diplomat who signed Japan's surrender aboard the USS Missouri in 1945, was re tained as deputy premier and foreign minister. He was one of six holdovers from Hatoyama's former government. The prime minister said he would continue his foreign pol icy of "peace" and strive to im prove domestic conditions. He said he also hoped, among other things, to revise Japan's postwar constitution. "I believe firmly the time has come for our nation to become a truly independent nation," Hatoyama said.

(International) SCIENCE AT WORK By DELOS SMITH United Press Scienea Editor Court Asked To Void Deed To Malin Farm Portland (U.R) Federal Dis trict Court here has been asked to void a deed transfer for an Oregon chicken farm to a Czech oslovak Communist couple. The $15,000 farm near Malin, Ore., was deeded by Thomas Stach to Mr. and Mrs. Franch Stach in Czechoslovakia in 1949. The Oregon Stach believed it would aid the aliens in gaining admittance to the United States. The deed, sent to Czechoslo vakia for signature, was never returned and the Stach couple have never been in the United States. Frank Stach is a member of the Organization of Judicial Experts, a Communist organiza tion, and presumably could not be admitted to the United States. Olga McClellan, Seattle, niece of Thomas Stach and his sole heir, and Don D. Williams, ad ministrator of the Thomas Stach estate since the rancher died in 1952, filed the complaint in the Federal Court to void the deed. New York U.R! Although the why of it remains unknown, decompressing the atmosphere seems to do something to whoop ing cough. That is the conclu sion of a medical scientist who made the investigation of a spec tacular if little known and used treatment. It first was used back in 1927 when it became known as the "high flying cure" for whooping cough. The patients were taken up to 11,000 feet or so and kept there for a number of minutes. Within a few days, it was said, their symptoms started to dis appear. This experiment was repeated at various times and places in Europe but was hardly tried in this country. The reports were contradictory, but the tenor of them was good. So Dr. H. Stan ley Banks, a London physician, determined to make a full-fledg ed scientific study. He got a decompression cham ber from the Royal Air Force and set it up in a hospital, and passed the word around that he was ready to treat whooping cough by decompressing ground atmosphere to the equivalent of 12.000 feet of altitude. Mixed Results That was back in 1949. Since then he has treated 903 cases, and now he is reporting his results with 782 of them 'in The British Medical Journal. Of the number, 28.2 per cent showed "marked rapid improvement in seme four to seven days follow ing decompression," and 31.1 per cent showed "more grad ual but probably significant im provement. The remainder show ed no more than the expected change at that stage of the dis ease, or no improvement at all." Even more impressive to phy sicians was his statement that "of the children who were vom iting food more than once daily, 57.7 per cent stopped vomiting within a few days after the treatment, and in another 20 per cent vomiting was relieved." The importance of the whole experiment stems from the fact that whooping cough is common throughout the world and is a scourge of very young children. It can be prevented with a vac cine, but there is no cure except for the disease to run its weeks long course. Banks carefully selected and carefully studied each individual case. He found that the treat ment usually was not successful before two and one half weeks after onset, and that it was harmful to victims who were acutely ill. Can't Explain After the patients were in the chamber, he reduced the pres sure slowly until it was the equivalent of 12,000 feet. This pressure was maintained for 45 minutes, and then some 20 min utes were taken for the 'descent' to return the pressure to that of the ground. He said that despite all his cases, he couldn't explain why decompression worked or how. "The low pressure of the air breathed seems to be the essen tial factor," he said, "since re sults seem to be practically sim ilar whether high flying or the decompression chamber is used. The deeper breathing induced may help to clear mucus from the bronchi and perhaps to aer ate small collapsed areas in some yet undetermined way. "It is conceivable that mole cular release of blood gases may be favored, both because of the lowered pressure of the alveolar air and because of the trend to alkalosis produced by the increased pulmonary venti lation. Blood carbon dioxide might thus diffuse more freely through alveolar walls and help to expand collapsed alveoli and to loosen- exudate in the bron chioles; this in turn could render cough more productive." fi i i A- ! m Infill - fih ?J ' J972 tern 0 0 0 The choicest ivhisfey you can give or serve created by Russet Wright, world-famous designer This year the largest-selling, most popular whiskey you can give in a decanter is Calvert Reserve . . . the one and only whiskey that s so mellow and rich in fine whiskey flavor and so smooth going down.

C BLENDED WHISKEY-86.8 PR00F-65 GRAIN NEUTRAL SPIRITS Stevenson Defends Moderation Call In Campaign Plan Chicago :u.R) Adlai E. Ste venson has defended his call for "moderation" in his campaign to win the 1956 Democratic presi dential nomination. He denied at a news confer ence yesterday that he has run into conflict with former Presi dent Truman and New York Gov. Averell Harriman. Stevenson urged moderation in a speech before a party rally Saturday night. Only a few mo ments before, Mr. Truman had warned the Democrats will lose next year if they're not "liberal and progressive." And Harriman, also a possible presidential can didate, said Sunday that there is no such word as "moderation" in the Democratic dictionary." Stevenson commented "I hope mine is a liberal and progressive program. I have always thought it liberal and progressive, so I don't know that any reconcilia tion is necessary." Appointment Announced Asked about Harriman's com ment that he would have phrased things differently than Stev enson did, the former Illinois governor said "I have no; doubt anyone would. Otherwise it would be plagiarism." He also announced the ap pointment of Barry Bingham, Louisville, Ky., president of the Courier Journal and Louisville Times Co., and Mrs. Edison Dick, Lake Forest, 111., as co-chairmen of the volunteer Stevenson for Jobs Pulled Ouf of Hat To Fill Needs Alice, Tex. CU.P.) Jobs are pulled out of a hat here every morning. , County Commissioner W. R. Perkins says he used to have a problem because there were so many applicants for temporary laborers' jobs every week. He solved it by placing the names of all applicants in a hat and pulling out as many as were needed. "We have about 100 appli cants for jobs every Monday morning," said Perkins, "with only seven to 10 jobs available." He said the only qualifications for the laborers' jobs, which pay S22.50 a week, are that an appli cant "must be needy, have a family and live in the precinct." Perkins called the hat system "the most fair and just way of hiring men that we have found." Tuesday, November 22, 1955 MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE FIVX Eden Seeks Limit On Middle Easi Arms London (U.R) Prime Minis ter Anthony Eden disclosed to day that Britain has approached Soviet Russia on the possibility of limiting arms deliveries to the Middle East. The move was re buffed. Eden told the House of Com mons that agreement with Rus sia is unlikely. Therefore, he said, the West must continue to deliver arms of its own and not "go back" on the three-power agreement of 1950. Socialist Alfred Robens had asked Eden whether he would press for a conference of the United States, Britain, France and Russia to discuss a corrlete arms embargo to the Middle East. Man Earns Living By Smelling Fish Terminal Island, Calif. (U.R) Dioddo Taghap earns his living here by smelling some 52,000,000 fish annually, and he"s been do. ing it for 26 years. Tagliap's profession is formal ly known as "fish-smeller" and involves sniffing about 2,000,000 albecore and 50,000,000 yellow fin and skipjack as an inspector in tuna canneries. The fish-smeller works direct- President Committee. A seasoned politician, New Jersey National Committeeman and State Treasurer Archibald S. Alexander, was named as direc tor of the committee. Ann Woodward's Innocence Supported Mineola, N. Y. (U.R) Police officials indicated today that their detailed questioning of a haggard and weeping Mrs. Ann Woodward strengthened their belief that the shotgun slaying of her millionaire sportsman husband was accidental. The once-beautiful society ma tron yesterday left the Manhat tan hospital where she had been confined since Oct. 30 when she shot down W7illiam Woodward, allegedly mistaking him for a burglar. Mrs. Woodward, dressed in black and weak from grief, slow ly made her way through a star ing crowd of curious onlookers toward her waiting foreign se dan. She was taken immediately to Mineola police headquarter where she underwent extensive questioning. ly behind the butchers and, somewhat like a curious blood-! hound, inspects fish as they go 1 down the assembly belt to the 1 huge cookers. Taghap has the reputation of being able to scent a bad tuna at 100 yards. And he didn't become a "fish smeller" overnight. He spent sev eral years as a fisherman and working in canneries to acquire background for his unique job. Fishsmellers earn five cents an hour more than other cannery workers.
