By BENNETT CERF-
IN A STEADY stream of traffic on the Saw Mill River
Parkway one Sunday recently, a small sedan stopped
dead short without warning. Screeching brakes behind tes
tified to the alertness of
a dozen drivers who nar- "
rowly averted a "chain
accident." The driver of
the car behind the of
fender jumped out and
demanded an explanation.
The offender was obvi
ously taken by surprise.
"We didn't mean to cause
anybody trouble," he ex
plained anxiously. "My
wife and I were just try
ing out our safety belts."
After a particularly gay
party at a particularly gay
convention, two members in good standing had retired to their
hotel room, where one member slipped on the bathroom floor
and sustained several cuts on his face. His friend patched him
up as best he could with bandages. The injured one then went
over to inspect himself in the bathroom mirror. A look of awe
came over his battered visage. "Jiminy, Tom," he murmured
respectfully,. "I didn't know you could afford a Picasso!"

Kennedy Urged To
SI. Louis, Mo. - (UPD - With
a vote of confidence behind
him, the head of 78.000 fire
men planned to ask Presi
dent Kennedy today to let
the unions and the railroads
"slug it out" in their "feather
bedding" dispute.
H. E. Gilbert urged in his
keynote address to the fire
men's convention here Mon
day that the federal govern
ment allow the operating
brotherhoods to strike over
the proposed work rules
changes.
"I hope the President finds
it prudent to allow both sides
to resort to self-help," he told
the 900 delegates. "Once the

railroads of this nation know
that their employees do, in
deed, have the power and
right to exercise self-help, we
can expect to find an attitude
of eagerness at the bargain
ing table."
Gilbert made it plain that
he meant the right to strike
when he referred to self-help.
He predicted the fight over
the new work rules, which
would eliminate many jobs
considered unnecessary by the
industry, would be settled in
less than 24 hours if the five
on-train unions were permit
ted to strike.
After his speech, delegates
suspended the rules and elect
ed Gilbert, 66, to a third term
as head of the Brotherhood
of Locomotive Firemen and

sidered a confidence vote in
the union's fight.

what people with Parkinson's
disease are puzzled about.
Some wanted to find out why
it is called Parkinson's dis
ease (or Parkinson's syn
drome, or Parkinsonism). In
the old days it was called the
shaking palsy, and later, for
years it was called "paralysis
agitans." Then, in 1817, a
British physician - Dr. James
Parkinson - described the dis
ease as we know it today. But
for the next 100 years, few
physicians paid much atten
tion to the problem. As a stu
dent, I was never told to
watch out for the poker face
of a person with Parkinson
ism. The disease came to be
widely known only after the
terrible influenza epidemic of
mm. men, a European, Dr.
von Economo, described the
many cases he was seeing of
a disease which appeared to
be the end result of an encep.
halitis (brain fever with sleep
iness), probably due to the
virus of the 1918 influenza.
As we know the disease to
day, the patient may first get
a dull, expressionless face,
and then his muscles all over
will feel stiff - as if some
glue had been injected into
them. Then the thumb and
first finger of one hand will
begin to show what the old
doctors called the pill-rolling
movement - a sort of tremor.

Doris D. - We're In our late
30s, married 12 years with no
children to hold us together.
Our beautiful home is the only
joy we share, for there is no

started with his promotion to
foreman five years agb. His
work is among women, his
hours became irregular, his

worse, the man may seem to
be hurrying to avoid falling
forward. Often his speech be
comes slow, and sometimes
there is an excess of saliva.
Brain Remains Clear
Fortunately, in cases of
Parkinsonism, the brain re
mains clear for many years,
the judgment remains good
and the man goes on with his
work. There are no paralyses,
and no losses of sensation in.
the skin. Eventually, after
many years, the patient may
become so stiff he has to use
a wheel chair and finally he
may have to stay in bed.
Of late, what pleases me
much is the discovery that if
the person will start early
with exercise, massage and
physiotherapy he can keep out
of a wheel chair for a long
time, and can keep himself in
such good shape that he can
get about.
He can get from the United
Parkinson Foundation a book
let describing the type of ex
ercises he . should do to keep
himself active.
There are now some 22
drugs available which tend to
cut down on the amount of
rigidity, the amount of tre
mor, or the amount of saliva
tion. Also, very encouraging
is the work of my friend. Dr.
Irving S. Cooper, of St. Barna
bas hospital in New York City.
For years now he has been
operating on certain patients,
and helping a high percentage
of them. He does not operate
on anyone who, perhaps after
a stroke, has degenerated
mentally or has become bed
ridden. What Dr. Cooper does
is to destroy by freezing a tiny
bit of tissue near the base of
the brain. With this, in a min
ute the tremor may stop, and
much of the stiffness may go.
The persons most favorable
for operation are those in
whom the tremor remains uni
lateral (in one hand).
Tendency To Heredity 1
People on the telephone
asked me, "Is Parkinsonism
hereditary?" Yes, there seems
to be some tendency to that.
"Is it contagious or catch
ing?" No; absolutely not.
"Does it kill people quick
ly?" No; I have some friends
who have had the disease in a
severe form for perhaps 25
years, and they are still at
work.
"Is research being done on
the problem?" Yes; this is be
ing done, and some day we
physicians may have, either
a new wonder working drug
or an operation even . better
than the one we now have.

more about Parkinson's dis

The Councili This marriage
need not land on the rocks un
less one mate has rocks in the
head and the other rocks in
the heart. Fortune-tellers, Dor
is, usually get more cues from
the customer than she real
izes. Cleverly they can offer
a few "safe" pronouncements
along the lines you dictate.
But believe us, your marriage
is directed by you, not the
stars. The problem is: How to
restore trust? We suggest
three steps: (1) Doris must
think back to the happy days
and see whether part of the
blame for Bill's unrest was
her s. Was she too engrossed
in the "beautiful home" to no
tice him? Did she understand
the temptations in his new
job? (2) Can Doris realize that
"a lie is a wish," and excuse
Bill? (3) Bill must proclaim his
new resolve to their pastor or
a marriage counselor who can
"keep track." Even with a
scar, a marrige, like a heart,
can last a lifetime.
