I. - (By Sci ence Service) - A body hor mone, aldosterone, has been found to be 250 times as pow erful a heart stimulant as the most effective drugs known. Drs. Ralph D. Tanz and George Sayers of Western Re serve University in Cleveland, Ohio, reported at the Ameri can Chemical Society's med icinal Chemistry Symposium here today (June 21) that the chemical structure of this hormone could serve as a model for more efficient drugs to treat heart disease. In the treatment of heart disease, the most Important drugs available are the car- dlac glycosides. Unfortunate ly they are rather toxic when administered In large doses, The Cleveland doctors found that aldosterone caus ed muscle contraction In the same way that digitalis and other heart drugs do, but that the amount needed was only 1 250th as much as ouabain, one of the most pewerful heart stimulants. In experiments with isolat ed heart tissue, the doctors found that aldosterone has "apparently provided us with I cardiac glycoside (heart stimulating drug) of our own." Ordinarily, the adre nal glands produce small quantities of aldosterone but in victims of heart attacks, the level is markedly ele vated. The doctors said this indi cates a protective mechanism to improve the function of the failing heart. FUNERAL SCHEDULED Atlanta (WD - Funeral serv ices were scheduled today for Robert M.

He cited their self-sufficiency, mobility, ease of pene tration into the enemy's heart land and their ability to op erate in small numbers. Not Susceptible Large armies, large surface ships and intercontinental mis siles, Altieri said, are espe cially vulnerable to modern counter-weapons. But guer rilla bands, operating from nu clear submarines which can land them undetected at re mote beaches, are not suscept ible to atomic retaliation and, as the Communist Chinese most recently demonstrated in Korea, they can damage an enemy for out by proportion to their numbers. Altieri, a free-lance writer who recently published a history of Darby's Rangers, said these small groups of highly-trained, highly-m o 1 1 vated troops could be armed with atomic weapons. Operating at night, they could "wreak havoc on the enemy far out by proportion tial, destroy his communica tions and his supply lines and terrorize the population," he said. Supplying the rangers would be no problem, Altieri said, because they could live off the land, raiding the coun tryside. Use of modern rangers, Al- Morrison-Knudsen Elects President Boise (UPD - J.

Bonny, who has been with the construction firm for 30 years, has been vice president and general manager since 1947. Morrison said he will con tinue to be actively engaged in the management of the com pany as chairman of the board and that he is relieving him self of the responsibilities as president as part of a long range program of planning to sustain the company growth and diversification. RATHER WRESTLE LIONS High Point, N.C.-flJPD-Thom-as R. Armstrong, 23, who wrestles lions for a living, was arrested Thursday as a deserter from Beale Air Force base, Calif. Armstrong told arresting officers he would "rather wrestle Hons twice a day than go back to the Air Force." ASTRONOMY PROF. DIES Los Angeles (UPI - Dr. Fred erick C. Leonard, 64, profes sor of astronomy at UCLA and a noted authority on me teorites, died of a stroke Thursday at Kaiser Founda tion hospitaL can soldier self-sufficient and resourceful." Wanti More Divisions Altieri said he hoped the Army would muster the equivalent of four Ranger di visions and that the marine corps would be bolstered by at least five more marine raider divisions. He said the Army already has a ranger nucleus sprin kled throughout its ranks. This nucleus is made up of the highly-trained officers and enlisted men graduated from the special Ranger train ing school at Fort Benning, Ga. Volunteers for future rang er units would have to meet high standards of intelligence, patriotic motivation, agility and endurance, he pointed out. Altieri said the whole bat talion of ranger troops could be armed, equipped and main tained with less cost than it takes to build, service and maintain a supersonic bomb er. A whole division, he said, would cost less than it takes to build, staff and maintain an aircraft carrier. Earliest Tools, Weapons Found Washington - (By Science Service) - High In the Andes near Quito, Ecuador, U. S. scientists have found bits of stone and obsidian which were identified as projectile points, scrapers, blades and other tools or weapons left at a camp or workshop of some of South America's earliest men. The materials used for the points were obsidian (vol canic glass) and basalt. The people who chipped or ground these utensils were probably part of the first wave of migrants from North America. Some of the points followed what archaeologists know as the "stemmed point Fell's Cave type," found in Fell's Cave, southern Chile. In Chile, this pattern has been associated with the extinct sloth and horse and dated about 7,000 B.C. Other points were cut In the fluted pattern called the "Clovis type" and make it seem likely that the people who made them did so a thousand years or more before the Fell's Cave people. The study of the Andean site is reported in the current Science by Drs. William J. Mayer-Oakes and Robert E. Bell of the University of Ok lahoma, Norman, Okla. CLOGSTON'S Metal Weather Stripping and Screens litlnutM Qlas'rf Phone SP 1-1014 Evenings MEDFORD MAIL In the Days News By FRANK JENKINS From London as this U written: Reports seeping in here from a CLOSED COMMU NIST SUMMIT MEETING in Bucharest (capital of commu nist satellite Romania) indi cated today that Nikita Khrushchev had won a ma jor victory OVER RED CHINA for his policy of peaceful co-existence and had proclaimed another dramatic break with the past. w HAT happened? What did he do? What did he say? TlfOSCOW radio quotes him as saying at this closed meeting of communist big shots: "We live in a time when we have neither Marx nor Engels nor "Lenin with us. If we act like children who, studying the alphabet, compile words from letters, we shall not go far." As written, that sounds vague and foggy. But we must remember that Nikita K spoke in Russian. Perhaps the trans lation was bad. Anyway, he seems to be saying that com munism can no longer sur vive and grow by PARROT LIKE repetition of the teach ings of Marx and Engels and Lenin . . . who lived quite a while ago. HPHE K speech in Bucharest - was carried not only by Moscow radio but also by Tass, the communist news agency. The Tass version is less foggy. It quotes K as say ing: "NO WORLD WAR IS NEEDED for the triumph of socialist ideas throughout the world. THESE IDEAS WILL GET THE UPPER HAND IN PEACEFUL COMPETITION BETWEEN THE COUNTRIES OF SOCIALISM AND CAPI TALISM." Y is that important, if true? Here is why: KARL MARX, who lived and wrote and taught about a century ago, pro pounded unceasingly the doc trines of an INEVITABLE WAR that would be the final funeral pyre of capitalism. It would be a war between the capitalists and the proletariat. Because the proletarians would be infinitely more nu merous than the capitalists, he held, victory of the prole tariat would be Inevitable. Engels, who was a contem porary of Marx, supported this theory. Lenin, who came along nearly a half century later than Marx and Engels, also upheld It. AND- What is NOW important Red China STILL believes In the Marxist dlctrine of in evitable war as the funeral pyre of capitalism. China's communist leaders think China (because of her vast ness and her masses of popu lation) could SURVIVE a nuc lear war that would bring down the capitalist world in ruin and desolation. The Chinese view is that with the capitalists wiped out the communists would take over and build a new world after their own pattern. NOTE the K statement in Bucharest that no world war is needed for the triumph of socialist ideas throughout the world - that these ideas will get the upper hand in PEACEFUL competition be tween the countries of social ism and capitalism. That-if he actually said It could be very important. RELIGIOUS WORKER DIES Manchester, Vt. (UPD - The Rev. Dr. Dumont Clarke, 76 director of religious work at the Lord's Acre, Asheville, N.
