16 A- Russian Transport Discharges People Washington -WPli- Rep. K. W. (Bill) Slinson (R-Wash.), said Monday a Russian trans port that landed in Cuba last week diseharged "several hundred" passengers and picked up less than 200. Stinson, one of eight House members returning from a week end inspection trip to the U.b. Naval Base at Guan tanamo Bay, said he was told this by "various Cuban lead ers he and other lawmakers were able to interview among the Cuban workers on the Navy base. The freshman House mem ber also reported that one Cuban said his contacts had seen a Russian tanker dock "with 21 Russians getting on and 125 getting off." "According to the Cubans contacted, at least 70 per cent of the population would fight against Castro right now if the Russians were removed from Cuba," Stinson said. TUESDAY.

The Medical Roundup Emeritus ConhulUnt In Medietas Mayo Clinic Emerllui Prnfeiur of ftledlelnt Mayo clinic (Reenter and Tribune lyndlcaU, 1963) Adams Stokts Disease People occasionally ask me about Adams Stokes disease (or Stokes Adams disease): what is it due to and what can be done to cure it? In this diseas- there isually is a pulse of perhaps 40 beats a min ute, instead of the normal 70 to 80, and oc casionally, for some seconds, there is no beat at all. Be cause of this and a lack blood going to the brain, the person falls unconscious. A heart specialist will tell us that there is a "block" in the "conducting system. " This system is a band of special ized tissue along which the beat, beginning in the upper part of the heart, shoots down to the apex. The block is due probably to the destruction I a M Your Money's Worth By SYLVIA PORTER Copyright. Hall Syndicate. Inc. Editor's notei Sylvia Porter Is on vacation. During hor absence a column by Ralph McGill is boing substituted, McGill is currently on a tour of African nations, about which he is writing. . '. v Cuincan Notes: In Conakry the best restaurant is kept by M. Boubacar Diop at the 5th Boulevard and the 9th Ave nue. It is called, not unreasonably, Chez Diop, a fact which mildly distresses M. Diop, who has a sign proclifiming it to be the Royal St. Germain. This is the name of a famous place in Paris where, for a time, M. Diop, as a young Senegalese venturer in France worked as a bus boy and, later, as an assistant chef. After six years service in the French navy he settled in Conakry. M. Diop is writing a cook book of West African dishes. 1 It; hopes there will be an American publisher, as M. Diop once spent 48 hours in New York, when his ship put in there, and he thinks the cooking and food could be belter. Over a dish of rice and becf-en-brochotlc, liberally inflamed with pili-pili pepper sauce, he explained that the virtues nf Guinoan cooking, unhappily, go unnoted. 11 is true, he says, that rice is the basic Hem, but there arc dozens of sauces. Mr. Diop is putting all of these down and In time will be seeking a publisher. Guinean cooking is good. The Western visitor may even find it exciting and testing. There are, true enough, many sauces. The best of them are the varieties of health-giving pili- pili. The hot red peppers are cooked In oil, cither pea nut or palm. The peppers arc then removed and tomatoes and onions arc minced into it and cooked. The result is excellent. The visitor will do well to use pili-pili sparingly until the taslebuds are attuned to the shock. A liberal supply of pili-pili applied to a plate of rice and fish will cause the scalp to burn, the tears to flow, and the throat to con strict. First-lime diners at Ches Diop have been known to leap to their feet, clutch their throat, and run around mak ing mewing noises. For these Mr. Diop always recommends holding a drink of gin In the mouth ior a few seconds. The guest may then either swallow gin or eject it. The choice is his. But, as aforesaid, one learns by trial and error. The fact is that pili-pili is nn exciting and de licious condiment. M. Diop insists, eloquently, that the pep pers cure Ills and assure health. Rice is served with fish, fresli or smoked. It also nuiy be had with very lusty brochetlcs of beef, fish, nUitton, or goat. The sauces arc many, but most of -them contain peppers, mild or hoi, and always tomatoes or tomato sauce. 11 is really ciuite a rich variety. Chicken also is popular. Rice, of course, comes witli it. For chicken there is a sauce of which peanuts arc a base. Flour and milk arc stirred into peanut or palm oil and conk ed. The result Is something which looks like creamed chicken gravy. There are small bits of crunchy peanuts in it and it adds greatly to the chicken Bnd rice. There are two or three root-like vegetables of the family from which tapioca is made. They are to be found in the market either in the root form or ground up and marketed in huge mounds. There are special sauces for these to give laste to what is a somewhat bland vegetable. A third vegetable produces something which looks like hom iny grits and has about the same taste. Sauces are added to it, as consumers of grits in the U.S. grits-and-gravy belt use ham or chicken gravies, or liberal dollops of butter to give it flavor. A small, round mlllct-likc grain is eaten as a vegetable nr cereal. 11 also is a base for additives of meat, fish, or vegetables. The market abounds, of course, in lettuce, cucumbers, to matoes, and egg plant. The latter two are small in sine but the taste is guod. The fresh vegetables here arc readily edible with a little washing, as the West Africans do not use human excrement as fertilizer, as do the Chinese, Middle Eastern and most Asian countries. Salads in Guinea arc quite good At any rate, the U.S. cooks may anticipate M. Diop's book. It will give all the recipes, including the 30 or more for pili-pili. of a bit of the "conducting bundle" and this followed the plugging up of a small artery by a blood clot. With an Adams Stokes "heart-block", every other beat which starts at the base of the heart fails to get through to the "ventricles" -the big powerful pumping chambers of the heart. As a result, the pulse-rate is mark edly slowed. This slowing might be put up with by the person, but every so often several beats will fail to get through; the brain will lack blood, and with this the per son will lose consciousness, perhaps for a few seconds or minutes. These fainting spells may occur a few times a day or once or twice a month. Some appear to be brought about by an irritation of cer tain nerves running to the heart. Often the fainting spell follows immediately after a little exertion, such as lifting a heavy suitcase. A rare form of Adams Stokes disease, with the faint ing spells, can be seen in persons who have a normal heart beat, and very little change in the electrocardio gram. What these persons probably have is a much nar rowed artery in the heart. which every so often fails for some seconds to carry enough blood to the heart so that it will beat. As in the more common form of the disease, when the heart fails to beat and the brain docs not ct enough blood, there will be a brief spell of unconscious ness. I remember a man who, while chatting with me, would lose consciousness; then after perhaps 20 seconds he would wake up and continue with what he had been saying. : Naturally, these people live I a precarious life, because if I some day the heart should I slop pumping for too long a time, two things can hap-1 pen: one is that the person can fail to wake up, and the 1 oilier is that serious damage can come to the brain because of the lack of oxygen. I Lately, some of these per-' sons have been greatly helped by a little electrical apparatus which Is placed under the ' skin of the chest wall. Two lit-; tic wires carry perhaps 80 im pulses a minute lo the 'icart - Impulses which keep the heart beating regularly. In cases of the rare type of Adams-Stokes disease in which the pulse rale Is usually normal, certain medicines may cause the heart to keep beating; also, surgeons arc now trying to enlarge with a patch the badly narrowed artery. One of the commonest dis cuses of man is the one In which, over the course of per haps several years, a middle- aged or elderly person is pull ed down and aged - step by step - by dozens or scores of little dizzv or woozv snells each one of which Is due to the plugging-un of a small tiny artery in the brain.
