This Confusion Piece Started
Oyer Selection of Name for Park
By DICK WEST
Washington - (HID - A sea
ion or two ago, Sen. Harri
son Williams was instrumen
tal in promoting a project to
beautify the
courtyard of
the old Sen
ate Office
Building. As a
r e developed
area, the
court yard
made such an
a 1 1 r a c tive
greens-
Wtrt . ward that nature-lovers
around the Capi
tol wanted to call it a park
and name it in the senator's
honor.
When Williams, a New Jer
sey Democrat, got wind of this
he modestly protested that he
was not entitled to all of the
credit, and suggested that he
share the honor with a clerk
of the Senate Rules Commit
tee. The clerk's name being
Gordon Harrison, the ideal
thing would be to combine
their names and call it the
"Harrison Williams Park," he
said.
Williams' proposal suited
Harrison fine, except for one
thing. He favored using their
first names so that It would
be called "the Cordon Harri
son Park."
Let ut now proceed to the
iha consideration of a mora
recent incident involving
the senator and one of his
constituents, actor-musician
Leon E. Janney.
A few days ago, Williams,
whose nickname is "Pete,
got a letter from Janney com
plaining that the literature he
received from the senator's of
fice was improperly ad
dressed. Some of it, Janney report
ed, was addressed to "S. E.
Jarrey" and some of it to
"Leon M. Jarmey."
"You can understand my
distress," he added, "because
as the stationery clearly
stales, my name is Grodnlck
Fasbinder."
In keeping with the spirit
of the occasion, Janney ad
dressed his letter to "Sen.
Pete Harrison."
Williams, of course, has
tened to apologize, saying he
could not understand "how
anyone could possibly inter
polate the name of Leon Jan
ney out of Grodnick Fas-
binder."
"I could understand some
thing like Groggy Flshbend
er or even Gaudy Flashpan,
but Leon Janney I just don't
understand," he wrote.

He assured Janney, or Fas

name is Harrison Williams"
the mistake would not be re

Foot with Poor Blood Supply
Many aging men complain
that occasionally, while walk'
ing briskly, they must keep
stopping every
few minutes
to rest a bit
because the
muscles in
one leg cramp
or become
knotted up
or give out.
This is the
first symptom
area oi a disease
called intermittent claudica
tion. Much then will depend
on how great are the demands
that a man in his Job must
make on his legs. Persons
who work at a desk may be
able to carry on for a while
with reasonable comfort.
others who work standing up,
may soon get into such serl
ou s trouble that they will
have to be operated on. A few
get so disabled that even
walking across a room can
become a problem.
Because of the poor blood
supply, any small bruises the
man gets on his bad leg may
take many weeks to heal. In
the worst cases, one or two
toes may become gangrenous,
and pain in the foot and leg
may become constant. In a
few cases, there will sud
denly appear in the leg numb
ness, coldness and pain. This
rapid onset of trouble may be
due to plugging-up of the
leg's main artery with a
blood clot.
In many of these cases, the
limb can be saved it the
Once Common Spud; Now
Very Important Potato'
From a slow start and a
lowly position, this character
has increased In popularity
and importance until he has
now reached the status of
eminence in the plant king
dom.
This one is the real Horatio
Alger stories of the vegetable
world. The growth and Im
portance of this plant has
been phenomenal. King he is
of the vegetables - the com
mon white potato.
Of all the vegetables, few
if any can surpass this one for
universal appeal, reasonable
ness of price and easy avail
ability. Mr. Potato is about
as important as a vegetable
can become and still retain its
status as a vegetable.
The potato Is really not
Irish at all, unless it is called
that because of the number
grown in Ireland, or the fact
it furnishes the bulk of the
food for the Irish people. Ac
tually, the white potato had
Its origin In Peru. There, Is
was early cultivated for food
and was called the "apple of
Peru."
16th Century Shipment
A Spaniard by the name of
Pedro de Leon shipped many
bushels of the fleshy tubers
to Spain sometimes in the
16th Century, from which
point It was carried and
planted In nearly all of Eu
rope and in Ireland. And all
this happened about a hun
dred years attrr a veluresnmc
sailor by the name of Colum
bus sailrd for what we now
call America.
Some early settlers to the
New World brought some
seed potatoes some time
around 1720. and the first po
tato patch was planted some
where In the state of New
Hampshire. The popularity of
the potato grew as rapidly in
the New World as it did from
the gardens of Europe. Every
pioneer garden had potatoes,
growing alongside Indian
maize. The potato, along with
the abundance of wild game,
fed the early Americans and
made possible the America
we know today.
This prolific vegetable
practically saved the German
people from starvation dur
ing two World Wars, and

quickly the needed operation
is performed, the better it is
for the patient.
When symptoms of artery
trouble appear in a leg, and
the man is a heavy smoker,
the best thing he can do to

Liquor May Help
A small amount of liquor
may help the man, because
alcohol tends to dilate arter

several vaso-dilators, or ar
tery-widening drugs, often
fall to give sufficient relief.
As soon as serious pain
starts, the blood vessels in the
legs should be x-rayed with
a special technic which will
show exactly where the ob
struction is, and how long a
section of the artery is con

be operated on will depend
on where the obstruction is.

the sympathetic nerves in the
back of the abdomen which
regulates the bore of the
artery will help.

Well-Known Relatives
The white potato belongs
to the family of plants known
as the nightshades, related to
the tomato, eggplant and to
bacco. In the outer skin of the
potato is a milk alkaloid
which closely resembles nico
tine Its liberation during
cooking is what gives the char
acteristic and sometimes pro
nounced odor usually noticed
when potatoes arc cooked
with their "Jackets'' on.
Potatoes are deficient in
fats, but very high in starch.
For this reason they are often
avoided by people who fear
overweight. But In spite of a
mild boycott by dictists and
portly folks, the lowly potato
is easily recognized as the
most popular vegetable in the
entire vegetable kingdom, and
that covers a whale of a lot
of territory.

Dr. Cresman plans to visit
the site for two or three weeks
during each summer expedi

ers found stone artifacts in

man occupation from about
2000 B.C. to the beginning of
the 20th century in an area
which was "archaeologically
unknown" up to that time.

about 500 miles north in the
vicinity of the Bering Straits,
but quite different from arti

Years of Hysteria
Coming To End for
Minnesota Man, 37
Minneapolis, Minn. (Urti-At
the age of 37, Jerome Meyer
was born again.
Behind him were 22 years
of hysteria and dread during
which he lay crouched with
his legs drawn up like an un
born child.
Today, doctors at the Eliza
beth Kenny Institute held out
hope that minor surgery
might unlock his fibrosis
frozen legs and give him free
dom of movement for the first
time since he was 15.
That was the year Jerome,
of Rice Lake, Wis., was taken
from his home and sent to
his uncle's house, which was
closer to school. Jerome, shy
and to . whom studies came
hard, could not make the ad
justment. He developed a severe
cough and was hospitalized.
When he recovered, he was
sent back to his uncle's home.
Soon he began to twist and
contort until he lay paralyzed
in a prenatal posture.
There he lay, day after day,
week and week, month after
month. A four-wheeled cart
became him home, around the
clock, for nearly a quarter of
a century.
Last November, his moth
er, 70, brought him to the in
stitute. Physicians concluded
there were "no physical rea
sons" for Meyer's unnatural
position. They said the em
bryonic posture apparently
was the result of the severe
emotional shock.
Dr. Mary Price said the
position indicated a subcon
scious desire to return to the
security of the womb.
Dr Price used informal
psychotherapy, exercise, mas
sage, treatments in a warm
water tank and hypnosis.
Gradually she succeeded in
loosening Meyer's stiffened
muscles and overcoming his
fears.
Within three months, Meyer
was sitting in a wheelchair
and exercising with weights
and pulleys.
Convincing Meyer that he
had nothing to fear when he
came out of his shell was the
biggest hurdle along the
route to recovery, Dr. Price
said.
Hypnotism Used
She said Dr. Donald R. Dag
gett found Meyer a willing
subject for hypnotism and
within a short time had
gained the man's confidence.
During the 45-minute ses
sions. Dr. Price said, Dag
gett talked reassuringly with
the patient and gradually
Meyer began working his
arms and fingers.
He soon chatted with his
nurses and had shed most of
his hostility and suspicion,
Dr. Price said.
Doctors said minor surgery
would free Meyer's locked
knees and return him to com
plete mobility. However,
there was some doubt that
the patient or his mother
would approve the operation.
Mrs. Meyer, according to
Dr. Price, said the family be
lieved in "faith healing."
"I'd be very disappointed if
we couldn't complete his re
habilitation," Dr. Price said.
"He'll be alone soon, and it
would be so much easier for
everyone if he could walk."
