    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.

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."

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."

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.

involves sniffing about 2,000,000

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.

reputation of being able to scent

And he didn't become a "fish
