J Sophia Loren Faces Charge of Bigamy Rome -UIPIl- Italian magis trates have ordered Sophia Loren and her husband. Carlo Ponti, to stand trial on charges of bigamy. A date for the trial was not set immediately. Court sources said that in view of the heavy schedule of the Rome Tribunal, it was un likely the case would be tried before October. The starting date, these sources said, would more probably be November or December. The investigating depart ment of the Rome Tribunal, in a ruling filed with the Court Chancery, ordered the trial. The charges stem from the couple's Mexican proxy mar riage of Sept. 27, 1957, which they have been trying to an nul to escape the bigamy ac tion. Under Italian law, Ponti still is married to his first wife, Guiliana Fiastra, daugh ter of an Italian general. If Ponti and Miss Loren could get their Mexican mar riage annulled, this would mean they never were mar ried and thus could not be prosecuted in Italy for big- The Medical Roundup by j.

Main, Medford Phone 772-7153 Grants Pass GR 6-4343 suit, the poor fellow, after a distressing night, was worn out and dried out and in such bad shape that, often he died. When I kept asking my pro fessor why we did such a fool ish thing, I finally goi him to admit he did not know; he figured there must be some reason for the violent purga tion because it had always been the custom. Then, I got my professor to admit that when we had to operate in a hurry on a man with a bul let in his abdomen, or a rup ture caught in the ring in his groin, and we had no time for any purging, he usually got well, and got well with out any shock or "gas pain." Started by Savages Then, I went to the library and spent spare time for a couple of weeks tracing the idea back to see where it had come from. Eventually, I found that it had come down to us from savages who fell that whenever a man was to undergo a difficult experience such as initiation into the tribe, with a certain amount of torture, he should be "pre-pared"-with purgation, sitting up alone all night, with ab stention from food and sex. That was the reason I found. I then wrote an article which, at the time, put a stop to much of the purging that had caus ed the death of many thous ands of people. Later, I tried to stop the old custom of the routine pur gation of people coming down with an illness s eh as a cold. I found that, in our Army, doctors had taken perhaps 500 soldiers coming down with a cold, and had purged half of them and used the oth er half as "controls," As I re member, they found that the purged men were so much sicker than were the non purged that, on the average, they had to stay two more days in the hospital than did the unpurged. That study showed that the ancient idea of purging before a fever or an illness not only docs no good, it can do harm. Doctor Wouldn't Listen The other day, in Los An geles, I was much interested in an address by Dr. Edward Shapiro, who told of the great difficulty that Dr. Daniel Lei thauser of Detroit had in 1932 after he learned of the great value of getting surgical and obstetrical patients up quick ly after an operation or con finement. It took seven years of effort even to get doctors to let him come to a meeting and tell them what he had found. They would not let him speak before a society, and no medical editor would publish his paper. Everyone thought he was a crazy fad dist, and hence they did not want to listen to him. Interestingly, what had started Dr. Leithauser on his study was the fact that when his strong-willed young son had his appendix out, he im mediately insisted on going home. He fussed so much that on the third day, his father gave in. That afternoon, the boy was found jumping up and down on his bed. as if it were a trampoline. When he was none the worse for this, the doctor started trying "early ambulation" (letting them up) on his other patients. It was only after nine years that Dr. Lcithauscr could in duce the editor of a medical journal to publish his paper in which he said that nothing had gone wrong w'th the per sons who had been allowed to dangle their legs right away, and n . disaster had happened to those who were allowed to walk around the ttaiu un '.lie 11., 1 vi' fourth day. Not a New Idea Very helpful was the fact Your Money's Worth By SYLVIA PORTER Copyright, Hall SyndicaU, Inc. Dennis the Menace WHAT YOU COULD SAVE FHOM TAX CUT Here is one across-the-board tax reduction package being put together at the highest Administration policymaking lev els for submission to Congress before Labor Day and on the basis that, no matter when the bill is passed, the cuts will take effect no later than Jan. 1, 19d3. Cut the tax rate on corporations from the present 52 per cent rate to at leust the pre-Korean rate of 47 and possibly to 45 per cent; Cut the top tax rate on individual incomes from the pres ent punitive 91 per cent rate to 65 per cent; Cut the bottom tax rate on individual incomes from the 20 per cent rate to 15 per cent; Cut individual tax rates proportionately down the line within the new 15-65 per cent range so that all groups get savings; Offset part of these cuts by broadening the tax base, but since loophole closing is tough, do not insist the tax cuts wait until Congress tortures itself through tax "reform." What could this mean? To corporations, a lax cut from 52 to 47 per cent would mean a reduction of around $2.5 billion a year in their lax bills. With businessmen due to save another S2.5 bil lion from the greatly liberalized depreciation schedules (to be released in early July) and from tax incentive for capital investments in the bill now in the Senate, this could raise tax savings to businessmen to S5 billion a year. To individuals, a tax cut of the magnitude outlined in this package would mean savings of as much as $9 billion a year - with more than 80 per cent of the savings going to individuals with taxable incomes below $4,000. The basic 20 per cent rate provides the overwhelming amount of the Treasury's tax take, the 91 per cent provides exceedingly little, and actually, taxes obtained from the above 50 per cent rate account for only 2 per cent of the Treasury's take. I Business Week, in fact, quotes a top Internal Revenue Service official as saying, "When I was in private practice, 1 would never permit one of my clients to pay 91 per cent; I would put him immediately into oil." As an indication of how dramatic an impact these indi vidual tax cuts could have, consider the following table showing the savings to married taxpayers with the follow taxable incomes: IZYf ' " I'"'""" ' l ' " """"" ' H I, MOiV! iVANTA ROOT BcEf? 1' Umatilla Health Officer Found Dead I Pendleton - ITH.- Dr. Wal ter P.

A 13 Social Scheduled To Honor Physician The Congregational church, 2100 Oakwood dr., will pay tribute to Dr. John R. Wat son as he leaves for a month of medical service in Korea. Members and friends of the church will hold a social in Dr. Watson's honor on tha church lawn Thursday, Juna 28, from 6:30 to 8 p.m. Dr. Watson, who is a member of the church and chairman of its board of Deacons, will review the purpose and na ture of his medical mission to Korea. Each person or family at tending the ice cream social is asked to take a cake, which will be sold at an auction. Dr. M. Donald McGeary will ba auctioneer. The savings in the upper-upper brackets wouldn't be as high, as shown though, for the closing of "loopholes" on, say. capital gains or oil depletion allowances would hit the highest income groups the hardest. On balance, all groups would save, however. This type of tax reduction couldn't help but hike con sumer spending, spur business investment in plants and equipment, boost confidence, stimulate the economy - and, by so doing, provide additional taxes to eat into the large budget deficit unquestionably created by the initial cuts. Corporations would gel what business leaders insist they need, lower income families - which spend to the hilt - would get the most dollar benefits, which is what labor leaders insist they need. "No decisions have been reached," officials emphasize and re-emphasize and they haven't been yet - but the decisions are in the making, and the economy is saying the sooner the better for all of us. Truck line's Growth Story Topic of RoundtabEe Film The film story of a motor express firm that began with one truck in 1932, hauling fresh fish to the Los Angeles area, and expanded until now it is the oldest and largest trucking firm operating ex clusively on the west coast, was shown at the Monday noon meeting of the Medford Chamber of Commerce Roundtable. The film, entitled "The Lasme Story." was presented by Jack Fitzgerald, district representative for Los Angel es - Seattle Motor Express company. The Lasme operation is no that the danger of an old pa tient developing a pneumonia from lying long on hip bnck was much lessened. Also les sened was the danger of the person getting a clot in his leg vein. The obstetricians also found it did not harm to let a strong woman up in a few days after her child was born. Certainly, the squaws of the American Iniadns were accustomed to go back to their work some hours after a child was born to them. After all the "storm" about Dr Lcithauser's "heretical" idea, it was amusing to find that it was not new! Some 30 years before, several doctors had been getting their pa tients up quickly, and had written papers to f how the ad vantages of the idea. An able Chicago cynecoloki-t (special Is; in diseases nf women), Emil Riess, in 1899. publish ed a paper on the advisability of lettiim patients out of bed early, and after that, a num ber of other men had written to say that tliel results with early'ambulatio.. had been excellent!

I longer devoted exclusively to transporting fish to mar j ket, though some two-thirds of the Northwest catch is still transported by trucks. Now the firm's trucks cross the Oregon-California border every 15 minutes, carrying everything from "rugs to razorblades." Lasme's more than 1.000 pieces of rolling stock range from the Mexican border to Canada and log more than 15 million miles a year on their speedometers, trans -porting about one-quarter bil lion pounds of cargo to all points on the Pacific coast. Proficiency Noted More than 1,000 employees arc needed at points up and down the coast to insure the efficient operation of the firm. Lasme's shops operate on a three-shift, 24-hoour ba sis and have developed such a high degree of proficiency that crews can make an "en gine swap" in a rig in about 6'2 hours. Too, by company policy, each truck is thorough ly inspected and given a stem to stern washing before it de parts for a run. Lasme drivers are schooled in "courtesy on the road," stopping whenever possible to assist motorists in distress, and by way of helping to al leviate congestion of coast highways, all trucks are pull ed off the road on major holi days. Firtli Listed Long taking pride in main taining a progressive opera tion, Lasme, has a number of "firsts" to its credit, according to the film. The firm was the first, for example, to establish car rier service from Seattle to Los Angeles, first to offer re frigerated trucks to Its cus tomers, and the first to set up a leased wire teletype service, by means of which accurate information is availnnle at a moment's notice on the loca tion of any particular ship ment. Mike Alcsko, manager lit Weisfield's Jev.lrs, assisted i Fitzgerald in the presentation of the film. I Imaginative Spainards Named Passion Flower The early Spanish explor ers who first visited South America were probably more than a little nervous. They were in a strange land, far from home, in an environ ment that must have seemed hostile. They allowed their imagin ations to run riot and created superstitions, some of which have persisted to this day. One of these legends concerns the passion flower and the reason for its name. Widely Traveled This vigorous, climbing vine, native of Central and South America was later in troduced into many areas of the world, and always has created interest and believers in the superstition surround ing it. It has likewise receiv ed many common names, such as May-pop, merely because there Is a loud pop when the ' fruit is stepped on. But the early Spanish who called it the passion flower, gave it the name it Is best known for. In the blossom of the pas sion flower are 10 colored parts, which are said to rep resent the 10 apostles who were present at the Crucifix-; ion. Two of the apostles, Pe- J ter and Judas, were absent. Within the corolla is a showy crown of colored filaments, sometimes white, frequently purple, which look like fringe. These were taken to repre sent thorns, supposedly em blematic of the halo. In the flower there are five stamens which represent the five wounds inflicted In the body I of Christ at the Crucifixion. I Coiled Tendrils Being a vigorous climber, the vine on which these pe culiar flowers are borne holds itself in place by tightly coil ing tendrils. These little green coils wind themselves around any support so tightly and neatly they look like the care ful winding of a wire by an experienced electrician. In the fertile imaginations of those same early Spanish explorers, and to carry the passion theme still farther, the belief is that these green tendrils were replicas of the cords with which the Savior was tied. Represent Hands Even the leaves, which are three-lobed and deeply cut, arc said to represent the hands of the persecutors. Others, equally imaginative, maintain the leaves are ex actly like the spear heads of those Roman soldiers who were at the cross that day. Whatever you want to be lieve about this interesting flower and the vine on which it grows, you must admit it is a strange member of the plant kingdom. If the strange flower is visited by the right insect, at the right time, a pe culiar fruit forms. One that is often offered for sale. It is purple, or yellowish in color, and is called a "Granadilln" the fruit of the passiun flower.
