Varicose veins in the esophagus may cause no symptoms other than the bleeding. Treatment which sometimes is successful is Injection of the enlarged veins with a solution of sodium morrhuate.

163 Japanese Killed In Train Derailmenl More Thon 249 Hurt In Japanese Wreck Hach'oji. Japin. Feb. 25 tl'Pl —■ Au express train "tracked the whip" on a sharp curve near this village today, (browing tin- last six coaches off a 30-foot embaokmeat isd killing 163 Japanese More than 219 were injured. Officers from eighth army lieadquarters said no Americans were aboard the train. Most of the passengers were hungry residents from marby Tokyo, going into the country to plead with the farmers to aeil them food. Jjjianese officials said the death toll might rise because more than 70 victims were reporte<i in critical condition. They termed the disaster one of the worst railway wrecks in Japan’s history. Bodies were lined up in two rows in a Wheatfield below the tracks and many dazed passengers wandered aimlessly through the area. All hospitals in this region had far

more patients than they could handle immediately. 1 Eighth army investigators said that spread tracks on the curve ’ apparently caused the fourth car from the end to derail and start off the embankment. The three i eoaches following also tumbled down and two other cars ahead wen- pulled from the track.* and | flung over the cliff. Fast Cooking Food specialists tell us the shorter the cooking time—the more food values we save. Instead of long slow cooking it's better to keep vegetables at boiling and shorten the time. o RUSSIA VIEWS fContinoed from Page 1) tbe big (our foreign ministers conference at Moscow next month 2 The dispute between Mari shall and Soviet foreign minister V. M. Molotov over statements made by undersecretary of state I>e.in Acheson is “closed so far as I am concerned." 3. Romania has agreed to l’ S stipulations for distribution of U. S. relief supplies in that country. He said the Romanian government would supervise distribulion of grain and other supplies without "any political, social, racial or religious discrimination." 4. The United States hopes that the political leadership of In lia will accept the British plan , leading toward independence byJune. 1948. He said this government hopes the Indian leaders

will accept the British "clearcut challenge" and proceed to break, the impasse between the Indian congress and Moslem league. TAFT AND BRICKER (Continue*!
