12 A WEDNESDAY. MARCH 6, 1961 Alderman's Slaying Puts Spotlight on (Editor'! not: Th ilny- Ing of in aldermen has put spotlight on the machin ery of political - and per haps underworld - powtr in a grtat city. A UPI sp cial raporting team includ ing veteran Chicago crime reporter Robert T. Lough ran, Fred Mohn and David Smothers, arrived at the 24th Ward headquarter! of Benjamin (Duke) Ltwii ahortly after the Negro poli tician'! bullet riddled body ' vii diicoverad. The itory of the ilaying, iti political overtonei and the pait vio lence of Chicago'! political wart are detailed in the following dispatch.) A UPI Team Report Chicago-fUPD-Pollce seeking the "Chinese execution" kill era of Alderman Benjamin F. Lewis followed a trail of poll tics, power and "policy." The politics were bigtime. Lewis, S3, whose slim, mana cled body was found stretch ed on the floor of his head quarters Thursday, had won reelection to the City Council by an overwhelming majority only two days earlier, His power was growing and there was talk that he aspired to Congress and to the throne of Rep. William Dawson leader of Chicago's Negro Democrats. There was talk too, that Lewis had made dangerous enemies in his bat tle to control the tough West Side 24th Ward, "Policy," the nickel and dime gambling racket which preys on Chicago's Negroes, was an unknown factor. But it could be the big one and It could mean that Lewis fell before the expert gun of an assassin from the ranks of the Chicago Crime Syndicate. It has happened In Chicago be fore. A Lewis lieutenant, ward Democratic Vice President Curtis Foster, said "The hood lum element was trying to come in with policy. He (Lew is) said 'Over my dead bod:'.' They killed him for revenge." Like Old Times The Lewis killing was like the old times-much too much like the old timcs-and it raised fears that Chicago has not shed the ghost of Al Ca pone and his gangster shock troops. The three automatic pistol bullets fired Into the base of Lewis' skull were echoes of a bloody tradition of political vendetta, a tradition harking back to the days of Capone and the lethal 20s when the same of politics could be deadly in the 24th Ward and the neighboring a I o o a y 20lh." Through the decades, Chi cago politicians have been shot, knifed, bombed and kid naped. Sometimes their slay lngs have touched off jhock waves of reforms. But none of these victims had the pow er and political potential of Ben (Duke) Lewis. A state representative call ed the slaying "political mur der" and there was no keep ing the murder out of poli tics. Chicago Mayor Richard J. Daley, one of the most powerful Individual Demo crats in the nation, is up for reelection April 2 and his op ponent, former State's Atty. Benjamin Adamowski is no man to pass up a vote-swinging issue. Within hours after the dis covery of Lewis' body, Adam owski issued a statement charging that the slaying was "another chapter In the sor did history of the Chicago Democratic machine . . . We are apparently at the begin ning of an era of violence and bloodshed." Orderi Go Out The mayor ordered his po lice superintendent Orlando W. Wilson to "apprehend and bring before the bar of jus tice the culprit who commit ted this dastardly crime." Or ders went out to: Make and hour - by hour check of every move Lewis made since Tuesday night, when he strode Into Daley s Morrison hotel headquar ters in the Loop and Jubilant ly announced he had won re- election by a whopping vote of 12.179 to 8R8 Find whether the Crime Syndicate, hard pressed by federal and city police raids on policy wheels elsewhere In the city, was trying to force the racket into the 24th Ward. Discover whether the man who placed a mysterious telephone call to police short ly after the body was dis covered was crank or kill- ei At an hour when Lewis' slaying was not generally known In the city, the caller said "I got Lewis - I'll get Biggs next." A police guard was placed at the home of Robert Biggs, a Democrat who mHde an unsuccessful bid (or alderman of the 2Dth Ward in the Tuesday election. Charles Chew, a Negro can didate for alderman involved In a run-off, said he got a threatening call and police established a guard around his house. Make sure Lewis didn't fear for his life. On his last night, he asked police Sgt James Gilbert of the nearby Filmore Street Station to tele- phone him. It was reported Lewis told Gilbert in the 7:30 call "I'm all right." Then he said suddenly "I m sorry, have to hang up now." Facts Clear, Baffling The facta In the case were clear and baffling and the scene was a white columned stone building which prev iously had been a bank and a mortuary. Lewis, still glowing over his Tuesday victory, left his wife Ella and their red brick home on Fillmore St. at 3:30 p.m. Wednesday. He checked into his office, paid a brief visit to the Morrison Hotel Democratic headquarters, and then returned to his head quarters at 5. The headquarters on drab West Roosevelt road were new and imposing, covering most of the two floors of a Grecian- style building which had housed the Community State Bank and, later, a funeral home. Invitations were going to city hall that very day for the gala opening Saturday Lewis went to his freshly paneled, modernistic office on the second floor and closed the door with his name on it behind him. Building Man agcr James H. Smith heard the alderman's telephone ring ing . constantly, right up to the time Smith went home at 10 p.m. At home, Mrs. Lewis won dered why her husband hadn't returned. He had never, she said, stayed out all night. She awakened at 4 a.m. and again at 8 a.m., but did not call police. At 8:47 a.m., janitor Joseph Brown wondered why all the lights were on in Lewis' of fice, investigated, and found the boss of the 24th Ward spread on the floor beside his desk. Lewis' hands, locked in handcuffs of a type used by Navy MP's during World War II, were cradled over his head. A filter cigarette, burn ed down to the fingers, was between his fingers. The radio on a table beside him still was Playing. Murder Method Clear The method of murder was clear. The killer had forced Lewis to don the handcuffs, then stepped up behind him as he sat and sent the bullets crashing Into his skull. A green leather cushion from Lewis chair had been used to muffle the shots. The modus operandi - bullets fired into the base of the skull - is Known r.M "Chinese execu tion." inere were other ornfpn. sionai louencs. The killer had apparently entered through a back door by "ponnlnff" the lock and tumblers. A corridor and spiral staircase led to Lewis' door. Robbery was out as a mn. tlve. There was no sign of struggle. Lewis $200 suit was undisturbed, the expensive watch was left on his wrist, me neavy ring on his finger, the $36.25 in his wallet. Coroner Andrew Toman estimated at first that Lewi. had died about 8 a.m. Police discounted the theory. They pointed out that the alder man's car was still parked where Lewis had left it at S o'clock the day bcfor. There was a half Inch of fresh snow on the hood. Other Political Slayings who killed Ben Lewis was question which mav en down in Chicago history with me old political cry "Who killed McSwiggin?" McSwiggln, known as the "hanging prosecutor" started the current era of Chicago political killings when he was machine gunned In front of a l.tccro saloon in 1928. There were more to follow Mate Rep.

COCOA AND BANANAS Accra, Ghana: Cocoa is one of the tropics. There are many such. A bunch of green, young bananas hanging against the darker green of the huge fronds of the tree; mangoes, green, purple and red against the heavy foliage of their heavily-leafed branches: clusters of papayas, turning golden high on a tall, few which please the eye. The cocoa tree is really a planted among other trees where It will have shade. The leaves are graceful and pretty. bronze color. The fruit, or pod, grows only on the older wood. It is rather large, being slowly from a deep green to pumpkin-yellow as it ripens. Cocoa is Ghana s almost sacred crop, both a blessing and a curse because so much depends upon it. Ghana exports annually about 35 per cent of the world's total crop. Since the Second World War exports of beans have averaged about 60 per cent of the total value of the nation's exports and about 95 per cent of its agricultural sales. Production is largely in the hands of small farmers in the north. Ahead, of course, is a tremendous economic leap for ward whan the Volta dam project is completed in 1966. Ghana has large reserves of Bauxite and will become an exporter of aluminum whan power becomes available. Meanwhile, cocoa is the big drama. A small drop in its price not only affects thousands of small farmers but alio plays havoc with th nation's budget. It is not surprising, therefore, that law protects the cocoa tree. Woe betide any one caught illegally plucking a pod! The beans, when picked, are packed in boxes to undergo a process of fermentation. These arc watched by expert eyes, somwhat akin to those of the master in a brewery who must determine when the moment of truth has come for his fer mentation. When ready they are spread on a moving belt which takes them through heated chambers in which all moisture is extracted. Once so treated they arc then exported over the world, chiefly to the chocolate factories of the United Stales and Europe. The Soviet Union also has become a customer. Legend hits it that the seeds of the first cocoa tree to be grown in Africa were smuggled out by Fernando Po, an island in the Gulf of Guinea, in the late 19th century. (Some of the best cocoa comes from Venezuela.) By the early part of the 20th century Ghana was the world's largest single producer. Either Ghana has a special affinity for the tree, or the farmers have done a better job. Neighboring countries also grow cocoa, but lug far behind. There Is a story that a British farm expert was on hand when cocoa was in its early stages and saw the new crop off to a good start. Whatever the facts, the Ghanaian small farmers have held the lead. Now they and their crop are plagued with diseases remind ful of those afflicting seedlings of tobacco farmers. They are subject to flights and rots. Bananas ar another axport. A curious fact it that whil plantain, ol th banana family, is a stapl item of food, th banana is not popular, possibly bcau it is so plentiful, A Ghanaian civil servant, a man in his fillies, said, as w discussed our boyhood and (ducational backgrounds, that h had grown up in a bush villag amid banana trees, but htd ntvtr eaten them. "W used to iU bunchts of them for a penny or so," h said, "and buy canned herring." Cocoa, in the country which produces so much of It, also is rarely served. It is not available in most stores. It must be imported back, for one thing, and is expensive. Whatever the reason, it cannot be called Ghanaian drink. Bananas, palm nuts, kola nuts and copra are exported. The local pineapple is a magnificent Item, and is a popular food. Pice, a basic food crop, is in short supply and must be imported. It Is homewhat starting to see U.S. rice on sale in stores here. In the rush to industrialize, Ghana cannot afford to neglect ns.iculturc, but most of the talk is of machines. f MEDFORD Time - GAZEKV AdiVify Guide fo Ihe Sfori.

Small Worlds Around Us By Lynn W. Watkins -lteglster St Tribune Syndicate, 1963 Greek Letter Psi Stands For Unknown Quantities Scientists have selected a Greek letter to designate a lot of unknown quantities in the minds and actions of animals. They call it Psi. If you are a thinking person and aspire toward better un derstanding of some of the lesser creatures of this earth, you will.be hearing a great deal about Psi in the near fu ture. So far, no one knows how a bird travels miles and arrives where it wants to be without a road map or com pass. The boy in the third grade knows the bird can ac complish this, but the most learned scientist in the world cannot tell how or why. No one knows how a dog or a cat can return to its former home over many miles of un familiar terrain, without in quiring the way. The wise guy who claims to explain how a honey bee informs its cell mates where a large supply of nectar is available, how far it is and how much there is of it is just spouting words. Can't Be Explained Neither can it be explained how a brainless insect can se lect just the proper plant on which to deposit her eggs so that the offspring will have the one particular kind of food they must have to devel op satisfactorily. There arc a great many other animal ac tions and inbuilt traits that might, if understood and ap plied to human actions, bene fit mankind in many ways. Psi will attempt to solve some of those mysteries. Funny, that in this age of guided missiles and electronic brains, anyone would be won dering how a grasshopper can generate enough power in its rear legs to propel its owner many times the length of its own body. We are reasonably sure a grasshopper's muscles are mucn tne same as our own. Just how much hop there is in a gras-shopper is a very intriguing and, so-far, s. unanswerable question. It would be equally inter esting, and perhaps helpful, to know how a female mud dauber wasp knows that a cer tain species of spider, placed in a inud cell with her egg, will supply the right kind of fresh meat for her baby wasp larva when it hatches. Many Facet Eyes Scientists know that many insects have eyes composed of hundreds of even thousands of individual facets, each facet registering its own image. There arc many such insects with similar eyes, the dragon fly and the common house fly arc two. With thousands of images to select from, how does the brain of the fly sort out the image or the scene it wants to react to and disre gard all the rest? A horse, an elephant and many of the birds have eyes on the side of the head: both eyes and looking out and of cour.se, registering two dis tinct and separate images. How does the animal decide which objecl-thc right or the loll is the one it should avoid? Which is the lesser danger, or offers the greater promise? The bird may cock its head sideways, thereby bringing one eye into focus, and mak ing a decision easier. But the elephant or the horse never seems to adopt this procedure. Seems silly, but perhaps we don't know all we thought we knew. Maybe in time Psi will be able to explain many things. We arc reluctant to admit it. but there ARE a great many simple things wc arc all pretty ignorant about. ( Political Machinery in The Medical lm..V Diet and Heart Diae Before I tell about several important papers given at tlte recent meeting of the Ameri can Heart as sociation, per haps I should prepare my readers for the fact that was thrown on the wide ly dissemina ted idea that all of us who Alvarez want to Keep our arteries from hardening must avoid the eating of much fat, and particularly of ani mal fats. The important thing to re member is that in science, as new facts are being found, our views are constantly being changed a bit. Hence, the true scientist is never abso lutely sure about anything; he is full of doubts - and is ready to change his views when new evidence makes this necessary. So it is that today I am not distressed when I read the report of Dr. Oglesby Paul and his co-workers at the University of Illinois which states that on studying some 2,000 middle-aged men, divided into two groups -those who ate .a great deal of fat and those who ate very little fat - the investigators were surprised to find that the number of heart attacks suffered was practically the same among the fat eaters and the non-fat eaters. Other dietary factors, in cluding the total calories-intake and the consumption of carbohydrates, proteins, ani mal fats, vegetable fats, cho lesterol and saturated or un saturated fatty acids could not be related to the occur rence of cases or coronary disease either. Neither could alcohol consumption be blam ed, or the type of work done. The factors that did ap pear to be related to heart attacks, according to Dr. Paul - a former president of the American Heart association - included excessive cigarette smoking, a tendency to in creased heart rate, a high blood pressure, a high blood cholesterol level and certain psychological traits. Interest ingly, the study failed to con firm the widespread belief of many doctors that stocky per sons with an athletic and mus cular build are more prone to heart disease than are thin men. In Dr. Paul's study, the men who died from coronary heart disease DID tend to have the highest blood levels of cholesterol. Also, it was found that a man who after a heart attack had kept liv ing on for years usually had acquired a low level of blood cholesterol. ON THE AVER AGE, the men with the low est level of cholesterol did not develop coronary heart disease. In another study. Dr. Har old N. Adel of New York confirmed the observation that a high blood pressure can favor the production of cholesterol in the person's body. Another study, by Dr. Jeremiah Stamlcr of Chicago and Dr. Henry Taylor of Min nesota, confirmed the well known fact that overweight increases the risk of getting coronary heart disease and a high blood pressure. Dr. Henry C. McGill Jr., of New Orleans reported that some white American BOYS already have disease in their coronary arteries, which means that perhaps some day pediatricians will be watch ing out to protect their lit tle patients from future heart disease. Dr. McGill's observa tions agree with those made in Korea during the war when many young soldiers who came to autopsy were LET SNOW'S ANSWER YOUR gAME QLD COUP n ADDS FLAVORIETY TO LENTEN MENUS BLUES 111 T Roundup 1 Emerltui Consultant In Medlcint .Mayo Clinic Emeritus Professor of Medlcint Mayo Clinic (Reciiter and Tribune Syndicate 1963) found to have a marked de gree of arteriosclerosis with narrowing of their coronay arteries. A hopeful note was struck by Dr. Jerome G. Green of the Cleveland Clinic who re ported that the average blood cholesterol level could be low ered by 15 per cent in the cases of persons who, for 10 months, had been fed a cer tain diet which, because of its carefully planned compo sition, was tasty as well as good for them. Dr. A. B. Ritterband of Schenectady found that for every woman he saw between the ages of 30 to 44 with coronary heart disease, -he saw 13 men similarly afflict ed. But in the range from 45 to 62 years, there was one woman for every two men with coronary disease. The doctor suspected that female hormones made this difference, but Dr. I. A. Jaffe, Dr. P. M. Densen, Jeanne F. Magagna and Elizabeth Reed reported that 267 women who had had a hysterectomy - presumably complete - had the same number of heart at tacks as did 385 women of a similar age who had not undergone an operation. This finding makes it less like ly that the giving of female hormones to men will pro tect them from getting heart disease. e Many people are puzzled when their doctor says their blood pressure is, for exam ple, 150 over 100, or 150100. In his booklet on "High Blood Pressure," Dr. Alvarez ex plains what a blood pressure reading means, talks about causes of high blood pressure and mentions types of treat ment. You may obtain a copy of this booklet by sending 25 cents and a stamped, self addressed envelope with your request to Dr. Walter C. Al varez, Dept. MMT, Box 957, Des Moines 4, Iowa.
