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-

I would ask my teachers why
we kept treating certain pa

to be an illog

They would
give me a rea

I showed them
that it did not
really answer
Alvarei my question,
they would finally have to
admit that they did not know
the reason.
My first experience along
these lines came in 1905 when,
as an intern, I had to give
every patient who was to be
operated on In any part of
his body, three violent and
sickening purgatives. As a re-

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

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:

To Honor Physician
The Congregational church,

of medical service in Korea.
Members and friends of the
church will hold a social in
Dr. Watson's honor on tha

Watson, who is a member of
the church and chairman of
its board of Deacons, will

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

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.
