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.

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

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. Dr
Alvarez talks abui.t this dis
ease in his booklet on "Little
Strokes." To obtain a copy,
