SV X)ICK WEST Songwriters May Clash in Politics By DICK WEST WASHINGTON (UPI) - A possibility has arisen that the 1964 presidential campaign will produce a cultural clash be tween two of America's most prolific songwriters. We may very well see Miss Gladys Shelley of New York, New Jersey and points east locked in a diatonic or chromat ic struggle with Miss Hank Fort of Washington, D.C., Nashville, Tenn., and points south. According to her press agent, the blonde and beautiful Miss Shelley "has penned more than 600 hit songs," including such sentimental favorites as "Oliver Twist," "I Dig Her Wig" and "Miss American Teen-Ager." I don't know exactly how many hit tunes the blonde and beautiful Miss Fort has penned, but I have heard it said she will write a song at the drop of a hat, and drop the hat her self. Politics to Music Among her more notable con tributions to our musical heri tage are "Put Your Shoes On, Lucy," and "I Didn't Know the Gun was Loaded." The prospect of their talents being pitted against each other, with no sharps and flats barred came about when Miss Shelley summoned the muses and limned out a sprightly aria called "Leave It to the Girls."

Mar garet Chase Smith as a cam paign song should the lady from Maine decide to seek the Re publican presidential or vice presidential nomination. Mrs. Smith, I'm told, has in dicated she would make the song her musical trademark if that does come to pass. Now it so happens that the aforementioned Miss Fort is a sort of unofficial bard of the Lyndon Johnson family. She has composed paeans to the Presi dent's wife ("Ladybird"), to press aide Elizabeth Carpenter ("Lovable Liz") and to LBJ himself (a birthday salute). Hard Choice Being non-partisan myself, I wouldn't venture to choose be tween them. But as a music lover, I can give you a sample of their lyric styles. Miss Fort: "We're proud of your Hereford herd And the tender love your give your La dybird." Miss Shelley: "Leave it to the chicks They've got a million magic tricks." Should Mrs. Smith get on the GOP slate and Johnson head the Democratic ticket, it stands to reason that Miss Shelley and Miss Fort would have the in side track for positions as cam paign musical advisers. If so, stand back men! It's bound to be a gusher!

As many know, this is a disease due to a fungus that lives in the soil of some stales. It pro duces a disease something like tuberculosis of the lungs, per haps with a cough.

CUSHING'S SYNDROME I remember a rather pretty girl who, in a short time, be came stout, coarse-looking, with a round face with a good deal o hair or. it. On her enlarging lniRht Fumls to extcnd thc abdominal wall there were dark ,ighting tllruugh lh(, ni(,hl wcre s nations which suggested I lha V conlajned jn a legislative appro he skin had been stretched and ; priiion bill torn. The girl s intelligence was Spn Mike Monronev, D.0kla. dulled, and she had gained vvho u,.gcd tne chanB'e. said he many pounds in weight. Obv...,ho n, hal .50mewhcrc the ously, she had what is called ,j ht nf ,rcetiom should burn a Cushing syndrome. A surgeun Cunslanlly " operated and found a tumor in ' one of her adrenal glands (which lie over the kidneys). He removed the tumor, and in a short time the girl brightened up, the excess weight went off of her, her face became pretty again, and she was like her old self. I marveled at thc speed with which this change took place. Recently. I read an article by G. W. Liddle. M.D.. D P. Island, B.S., R. L. Ney, M.D, W. E. Nicholson. B.S., and Naokala Shimizu, M.D., who studied 13 patients with Cushing's syn drome who had cancers and , other types of tumors in dif- j fcrent parts of the body, tumors (hat proved to be responsible1 for the symptoms. This study emphasized the fact that in cases of Cushing's syndrome, physicians must sometimes look for the offending tumor not only in the adrenal glands but in other parts of the body. Today a sort of Cushing syn drome can be produced by the giving of cortisone. If you suffer from allergies you'll want to read Dr. Alvarez' booklet, "Asthma, Allergy and 1 Hay Fever."

The data processing machine return card has been replaced by a four-page income tax form, similar in appearance to the federal income report form. Tax Commissioner Fred Hoef- ke said the card system was a direct casualty of the tax refer endum. He said it was not until after Oct. 15 that the commis sion knew what tax rates would be used for 1903. He said the card forms would have had to be prepared by mid year, so they could De stuuea insiae lax flUn6 instruction sheets.
