Prowse, shown here Tuesday, took the first step to becoming a citizen of the United States Wednesday, when she filled out her first papers at the Im migration and Naturalization Service in Hollywood.

(UPI) The Medical Roundup . v VP Emeritus Consultant In Medicine Mayo Clinic Emeritus Professor of Medicine Mayo Clinic (Register and Tribune Syndicate. 1963) j Histaminic Headaches I feel very sympathetic with those persons who write to say they have the terrible histaminic head pains which were aescriD ed years ago by Dr. Bayard Ho r t o n , of Roches ter, Minn. In this rare disease, i 1- I I .. U tHF is extremely amif I severe, ana for perhaps a .itvart'z lew in u ii i ii & it will wake the patient around 4 a.m. and will keep iiim walking the floor for an hour or two. Then it will go away. Usually it will return at the same time the next morning, and again it will last for an hour or two. The headaches may keep com ing in this way for two or three months, and then they may quit, and leave the per son alone for a while. Often there is a flow of tears and a blockage of the nostril on the affected side. Most of the patients are men who usually seem strong and well. Often the person has no idea why a long spell of head aches cauie or why the spell suddenly came to an end. No amount of examining by doc tors will throw any light on the problem - except for one or two facts: a hypodermic injection of histamine is like ly to throw the person into a headache. This does not prove that the headache is of hista minic origin because an in jection of the drug can stir up other types of headache. During a spell, no medicine that I know of can be count ed on to give relief, but some physicians have given relief with an inhalation of pure oxygen, or with an injection of the ergotamine that usual ly relieves a migrainous spell. Some physicians are now trying the new drug that sometimes stops migraines from coming. I have seen a number of the patients with Horton headaches who seem' ed to have a migrainous com ponent in the production of their pain. Experiments have shown that the headache has something to do with the fifth nerve that supplies the face with sensation; also with the internal' carotid artery which has much to do with supply' ing the brain with blood. Dr. Horton, who for years treated hundreds of patients with this rare disease, relied mainly on "desensitization to histamine. In order to ef fect this, he gave the person each day a tiny dose of hista mine - a dose which was grad ually increased until the per son was able to tolerate a con siderable amount of the drug. Then perhaps three in four of the patients were relieved of their headaches. Sometimes with this the person seemed to be cured; in other cases he remained well for a year or two, and then had to take another course of treatment. Br H. D. QUIGG UPI Correspondent "As - salaam - alaimum" (Peace be unto you) says the gifted speaker on the stand. And the faithful gathered be low respond: 'Wa-alaikum sa laam" (And unto you be peace). "The message of God to the honorable Elijah Muhammad was: 'Complete and immedi ate separation of the slave master and his slave,' " the speaker tells them. No mixing. And as a separate Negro state. The Elijah Is a Georgia- born Negro, now in his mid- 60s, who leads a membership of American Negroes that competent observers estimate at more than 100,000. They are law-abiding to the last let ter, clean, debt-paying, non smoking, non-drinking, non narcotics, .non-gambling, and bitterly non-white man. Elijah Muhammad, born Elijah Poole, has as one of his titles "Messenger of Allah" to the "Lost-Found Nation of Islam in North America." That last is the official name of the movement most often called Black Muslims. In their more than 80 temples the white man is known as "the devil" or, as Malcolm X, Eli jah's chief lieutenant says the Koran calls him: "the guilty blue-eyes." They and their leaders con sider themselves to be mem bers of the great international religion Islam, whose follow ers are called Muslims (or Moslems), whose prophet was Muhammad (or Mohammed) and whose holy book is the Quran (or Koran). The Black Muslims pray five times a day, facing Mecca, the holy city. The orthodox Muslims in America have rejected the Black Muslims. The Black Muslims are mo rally straight, keep down ju. venile delinquency in their families by exemplary con duct at home, and try to im prove the community around them, clean it up as they do their persons. They abjure Christianity and make light of it . Al though they scorn non-vio lence, they are told to be peaceful unless attacked. When the battle of Armaged don comes, in 1970 or 1972, it is rather vague (as as true of much about the Black Mus lims) just what they 11 do. Prtdict Black Dominance One version is that white rule in the United States will be overthrown. Another is that the white nations would destroy each other, leaving the black nations in charge ("Blacks" mean, to the move ment, all skin colors, brown, yellow, red, chocolate - ex cept white - of the African, Asian, Middle Eastern, and American areas.) Malcolm X can get up in public mass meetings on the street and say things like: "We rejoice when the white man dies." Yet he testified in federal court in Buffalo, N.Y., that the Negro Muslims are not a hate organization: "Eli jah Muhammed never taught us to hate anybody.' ' One source guesses Black Muslim membership in Chi cago at 20,000, in New York at 15,000 and names Detroit, Los Angeles and St. Louis as other main centers, although perhaps 100 cities are involv ed.

MEMBER BY INVITATION In his recent book "The Ne gro Revolt," Negro author Louis E. Lomax says of the Black Muslims: "Their withdrawal from America is almost complete. They speak of themselves as a 'nation,' indicating that they are not of the American body politic; they do not vote nor do they participate in po litical affairs. The Muslim wo men keep their heads covered at all times; they wear the long, flowing, white skirts one associates with Islam. They have their own stores, supermarkets, barbershops, department stores and fish markets . . . "In essence, Muhamad is saying this: God and Black are one, therefore all blacks are divine; the opposite of black is evil, therefore all white men are evil." Gasfon Woman Scheduled for Trial Hillsboro - UTS - Mrs. Eve lyn Flectt of Gaston will go on trial in Circuit Court here July 8 on a charge of man slaughter.

Summer Term Begins July 8 Fall Term Begins Sept. 30 : ROBERTSON SCHOOL OF BUSINESS S 40 No. Riverside - 773-4264 - Medford Chamber Gels Letters About Living Conditions More than 700 letters re questing information on liv ing conditions in Medford have come to the chamber of fice since January, according to Don McNeil, manager. "These top any other cate gory of letters requesting in formation on this community and the Rogue valley," Mc Neil said. Letters requesting tourist information totaled 175 for the six-month period. This is a good deal less than the number of letters we used to get from tourists in previous years," he said. This can be explained by the fact that our two county cooper ative advertising program has provided an easier method of getting visitor information on this area than going to the trouble of writing a letter Around 2,000 have responded as a direct result of this new program." Letters from school chil dren totaled 442 during the period. There were 50 requests from persons interested in go ing into some kind of busi ness in the area and 155 mis cellaneous requests of all kinds, making a grand total of 1,524 letters requesting specific information in addi tion to 2,000 response cards from tourist prospects seek ing vacation literature.

New York - IUPD - An aver- i age glass window permits about 150 times more heat from the sun to enter a house than docs the average insu Iatcd wall, say housing spec ialists of Allied Chemical's Barrett division. Shade trees, an awning of rigid vinyl building panels or an over hanging roof will help block summer heat, they add. Recreation Use Of Forests Rises Klamath Falls - With the coming of warmer weather. improving road conditions and lowering streams, use of recreation facilities on the Winema National forest is increasing. The Chemull district rang er reports that all roads on the district are open but dusty Maidu trail is open to the Sky line trail. Howlock Mountain trail is closed due to blown down trees. Fishing on the district is slower. The road to Miller lake is open, as is Mil ler lake campground. Hot dry days, cool nights and localized showers during lightning storms are reported. On the Klamath district most all roads are open and fairly dry, including the Cold Springs rd. Snows are leaving the trails in the high coun try, but some drifts of snow remain. All campgrounds in the Lake of the Woods area are open except for Aspen point, which is closed to the public at the present time be cause of construction activity.
