A s 'Valeniine Queen' Planning Wedding To Polio Victim South Bend, Ind.' U.R) 'Valentine Queen" Phyllis Dil lon, who proved her love by sticking by her paralyzed sweet heart, reigned over South Bend today. Her hour of triumph was a prelude to an even happier day the wedding which was inter rupted by infantile paralysis seven years ago. The pretty 23-year-old secre tary was chosen as South Bend s Valentine Queen by the Associa tion of Commerce in recognition of her years of devotion to stricken Anthony Lies. On June 30, the couple's cour age and patience will be reward ed In the church ceremony which will finally make them man and wife. Phyllis and Lies, now 30, were to have been married on Sept. 4, 1948. On Sept. 1, he be came a polio victim. Two Year In Iron Lung At first, neither realized the jjeriousness of his condition. But then he was transferred to the Hines Veterans hospital in Illi nois where he spent two years in an iron lung. Another year In the hospital followed, while Lies' faithful fiancee visited him every time she could. Lies has been back at his par ents' home for four years, but Phyllis said "he just assumes now that he will be completely paralyzed the rest of his life." Phyllis said . Lies is "very happy" over her decision to go ahead with their long-deiayea wedding despite his paralysis. And, like any other prospec tive bride, she is thrilled about it." .

Back Stairs: FBI Executive By MERRIMAN SMITH United Press White House Writer Washington U,R) Backstairs at the White House: Louis B. Nichols, the big FBI executive, had an embarrassing moment in the White House the other day. Nichols lost his hat right in the middle of the President's lobby. The genial assistant to FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover, hunted for several minutes for his skimmer but to no avail. ' One of the messengers at the reception desk finally and ac curately pulled Nichol's hat from a pile on the lobby table, ex actly where Nichols had been hunting minutes before without turning up a single clue. No group is more anxious for President Eisenhower to say .what he plans to do about re election than the White House staff members who must handle telephone and telegraph com munications. Once he announces definitely, it will cut down on some of the screwy messages that pour in, often for no apparent reason. One such flurry was started re cently in the Canadian North west when a radio listener call ed a newspaper that he had just heard the announcement of Mr. Eisenhower's resignation. . This inquiry spread rapidly to Washington and the White House was hit by a flurry of calls con cerning the-report. It turned out after some checking that the best Time T" TUP WOULD SEND THE TO BE THE KIDS Vi CHILDREN TO DIFFERENT M WROTE HOME FOR DOUGH- J A PRIVATE SCHOOLS IT'S W NOW THE SCHOOL &Cr A m NOT THE INITIAL COST A WHEELS DO IT, TOO J .r-Vrrs THE KEEP-UP.' - - guess was a listener or listeners in the Northwest heard the broadcast of Mr. Eisenhower's acceptance of the resignation of Trevor Gardner as assistant sec retary of the Air Force. Determining the truth did not keep the story from spreading, however. The next morning, a cab driver taking a White House staff member to work inquired, "What about the story on Ike resigning?" Told that this was- most un likely, the driver was asked for the source of his information. "Fellow in the cab earlier this morning heard it on the early morning news." A casual check among radio newsmen produced no evidence of any resignation story except the Gardner case. Whether Sherman Adams, the assistant to the President, wants the job is doubtful.

Roll Call's editor, Sidney Yu- dain, in presenting Adams with his "press card," said: "You have been .chosen for this important assignment be cause of your New England back ground and your succinctness "of expression. Your first big. story may well be told in one word Yes, or no, as the' case may be." Sample quotes from two men who have talked directly with the President in the past 10 days on the subject of his reelection decision: First man: "He didn't say, but don't worry hell run." ... Second man: "He talked over both sides of the question and I frankly can't figure it out. On the basis of what I heard, I haven't the first idea . of .what he will do." of extensive investigations, the first controlled fluoridation pro ject was started in Grand Rapids, Mich. In 1955, at ceremonies marking the 10th anniversary of the program, the results were enthusiastically called "almost too marvelous to describe." No 111 Effects ' . '.- In Grand Rapids, in New burgh, N. Y., and in Brantford, Ontario, all of which have passed the 10-year mark in flu oridation, the reports have been the same: children who drink fluoridated water while their teeth are forming have only about one-third as much tooth decay as children who drink fluoride-deficient .water. And there are no ill effects. At Newburgh, extensive phy sical examinations of the chil dren were made : by pediatric ians. In addition . to the usual pediatric examinations, there were x-ray studies of the hands, forearms and knees, and blood and urine analyses. Eye and ear tests were also given to groups of the children. The results of drinking fluor idated mater were found to be wholly beneficial. Prevents Decay . An interesting sidelight on the Newburgh report was the find ing that fluoridation was espec ially effective in preventing den tal decay on the side surfaces of the teeth where it is particu larly difficult to detect and cor rect. ' Since 1945, more than 1,100 cities and towns have adopted fluoridation as a necessary pub lic health measure. From Anch orage, Alaska, to Miami, and from Philadelphia to San Fran cisco, it has become a routine water department operation. In every instance where re sults have been measured, it has been pronounced effective and in no case has any harmful ef fect been reported. In a review of the entire pro gram, Dr. A.' P. Black; of Gaines ville, Fla., head of the depart ment of chemistry at the Univer sity of Florida, commented: "Fluoridation has now reached full stature as a recognized health procedure, and another great landmark in man's long fight against disease has been passed." Remains of Lion Found In Portland West Hills Portland (U.R) Two amateur archers "bagged" a lion in Port land's west hills Sunday but it had been dead a long time; The skeleton was found by Frank Larson and James Potts in a rain-washed gully in Wash ington park. James Mullins, an Oswego biology teacher, said he was convinced the remains were of an African lion. . How did the skeleton get there? Zoo Director Jack Marks said it was possible it was one of the zoo's animals buried many years ago. About 92 per cent of the U.S. rated horsepower is contained in motor vehicles.
