Benjamin (Duke) Ltwii

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

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

apparently entered through
a back door by "ponnlnff" the
lock and tumblers. A corridor
and spiral staircase led to
Lewis' door.

struggle. Lewis $200 suit was

watch was left on his wrist,

Editor's not! Sylvia Porter is on vacation. During her

McGill is currently on a tour of African nations, about
which ha is writing.
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.

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.

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

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

4-H Club News
Daffy Dills
The Daffy Dills 4-H club
of Central Point met Saturday
for an extra project, trees.
We went to Charlie Hoover's
house to learn of his project.
First we saw boys wrapping
trees. We were allowed to
choose our own trees. Hoover
showed us how to prepare our
cans and plant the trees.
Hoover gave us each four
trees, a blue spruce, a juni
per, a Russian olive and a
redwood, plus two bowls of
candy. When we got back to
Mrs. Anhorn's house, we had
refreshments which were
served by Lee and Rick Korn
ner. The trees are to be grown
and shown at the Flower show
in June and at Fair. The meet
