A Republican congressman was elected Mayor of Los Angeles in one of the closest elections ever held in that fabulous city. He defeated the incumbent Democrat, who might turn around and run for the congressional vacancy. Los Angeles is spreading out so rapidly that even the Mayor might have trouble in keeping up with his city’s boundaries. 0 0 While admitting that it may be necessary to keep certain diplomatic discussions secret until agreement is reached by all parties, it is recalled that much criticism was voiced last year against ' the Yalta agreement, because of secret alleged negotiations. Now, in the effort to end the Korean war, the administration announces that the veil of secrecy hangs over the terms in discussions with the Communists. .While Washington puts on the clanyi, it appears that the terms will be divulged from Korea. 0 0 Rear Admiral Richard E. Byrd, dauntless explorer of the South Pole, believes there is a land area in Antarctica as large as the United States, never seen by the human eye. When the Korean war ends, Byrd intends to make another expidition to the South Pole and do some nosing around for the new continent. He will photograph the region from the air. So far the United States has not claimed this barren land, although it has been explored by Byrd and others. The country wishes the 64year retired admiral success in his latest venture. 0 Since the end of World War If Italy has progressed, at a far faster rate than it did under Fascism and Mussolini. The democratic government of Alcide De Gasperi has managed to drain more swamps, l irrigate more land and improve more roads and communication facilities than the Fascists ever dreamed possible. In Southern Italy particular attention has been given to land reform. Landless peasants have been given land of their own. Successful attempts have been made to improve the soil and introduce scdentific farming methods in this area.

Not All Thyroid Enlargement Is Due to A Goiter or Tumor

By HERMAN N. BUNDESEN, M.D. MANY goiters today are treated by surgery or the use of radioactive iodine. A careful diet containing the proper amount of iodine is also important in preventing and controlling goiters. — A goiter is an enlarged thyroid gland due to an abnormal increase in the number of cells in the gland resulting from a lack of iodine In the diet. Enlargement can also be due to tumor growths or even cancer of the thyroid. Thyroid Inflammation However, not all cases of thyroid enlargement are necessarily due to a goiter or tumor. Inflammation of the thyroid, known as thyroiditis, can also occur. Often, a person consulting a doctor because of a thyroid inflammation, complains of a pain- •> ful sore throat. The thyroid area }ver the lower portion of the front of the neck is very tender. The person may also show a loss of weight and rapid heart beat Many times this disease is mistaken for toxic goiter or simple goiter. However, an Inflamed thyroid is generally tender and painful when the doctor puts definite pressure on it. Goiter Change Is Slow Ylsually, when an enlargement ct the thyroid is due to a goiter, the change comes on slowly, without giving any pain or symptoms. However, when due to an inflam- - mation, the increase In size is accompanied by severe pain. An inflamed thyroid may also appear lumpy, or nodular, to the doctor as he feels it.

Italy today, despite the beating it took during the war, is sounder economically than it was in Mussolini’s heyday and freedom is be-* ing restored. “Coverage”, is perhaps too mild a word to describe the effort of journalists, reporters and graphers wso will report the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II in London nex| week. .“Saturation is nearer the mark”, a writer comments on the plans to give the world every detail of the religious and historic event in Westminster Abbey, followed by the six-mile parade of the Queen and . other royaltjf. About 200 American newsmen have places reserved for them in the Triforium and Transepts of fambus Westminster. The The United Press, which will report the coronation for readers of this newspaper, has several of its most able writers in London. The colorful show* will also be televised in the United States. 'l' i o o Return Os Ching:— < Cyrus Ching, one of the most experienced men in the country in labor relations, may soon return to goverumejit service. Ching is 77 years old and resigned his position as head of the federal mediation service because he felt he wanted to take life easier. President Eisenhower wants the veteran public servant to head a sixman panel on atoinic energy disputes which would helpyto prevent work stoppages in atomic production plants. When Ching left government service he did not retire completely. He is a private consultant on labor-relations and so he is still in touch with many of the problems Which arise between management and labor. He is a Republican but served well under the Democrat administration. Both labor and management respect his judgment.. It would be well for the administration to make use of the skill and the experience ot Cyrus Ching. The task of keeping production rolling in our atomic plants is important and he is well qualified to tackle it. So tar the administration hasn't been too successful ittlts labor relations.

An exact diagnosis Is made by taking a sample of the thyroid tissue with a special needle. An Inflated thyroid does not take upjodine as a toxic goiter wbuld. Usually the Inflammation (thyroiditis) can be helped by X-rays or ACTH and cortisone. Large doses of thyroid hormone are sometimes of help. I Effective Treatment It is remarkable the way some of these sir-called “goiters,” which are actually due to thyroid inflammation, will clear up with X-rays along with doses of thyroid extract. At one time, a great number of inflamed thyroid glands were removed by operation. Severe cases of thyroid deficiency often followed and were apt to be very hard to control. Therefore, according to many physicians, medical treatment with extra thyroid, X-rays, ACTrI, and cortisone is now thought to be best for inflammation of the thyroid. When the thyroid gland enlarges, prompt examination by a physician is needed, so that the cause may be found and proper treatment Instituted. QUESTION AND ANSWER - Mrs. C. J.: effect does vitamin K have on the body? Answer: Vitamin K is a vitamin in the body whicii enables the liver to form a substance necessary for the clotting of blood. This substance is known as prothrombin. Without adequate amounts of vitamin K, bleeding may occur.

CHAPTER TWENTY-THREE I WALKED past Ellerton’s building, stated into the large, smug lobby, and kept on toward the next intersection. Now I was onto something good; Ellerton was interested in the red-head’s story, and ne wasn’t the type to listen for the fun of it. I felt almost contented as I strolled along the Drive, smoking a fresh cigaret. It wasn’t happiness, or anything close to it, but it was a calmness that comes fromthe anticipation of action. I was close to the men who’d murdered Janey, and when I found them my job would be done. The bitterness and anger flowed out of me now, because in the last act there isn’t room for such things. Then, when you’re ready to do what has to be done, you need a quietness, a coldness, an attitude that could be described as the suspension of P‘ty. Half an hour passed before I began to worry. I worried about the red-head, and whether or not she could stick to her story. A lot depended on whether she’d taken her shot. If she hadn’t, her nerves wouldn’t stand up under much pressure. There was no reason for them to doubt her story, unless they figured it would cost them nothing to treat her as a liar. That was their method, of course. Sometimes it paid off, and sometimes innocent people got hurt, which didn’t] bother them very much. Another half hour went by and I knew I had to do something. I’d sent her into this, and I couldn’t stand around; any longer, speculating on sijich irrelevant details as the moral code of hoodlums. There was no time for plans. I slipped my gun into the waist band of my trousers and walked into the lobby of Ellerton’s building. The neatly dressed clerk glanced at me, and I told him Mr. Ellerton was expecting me. He nodded and smiled. The elevator whisked me up to Ellerton’s floor, and I walked along the corridor to his apartment, ideas skittering haphazardly through my head. | I rapped sharply on the door. It was jerked inward, and the big, hard-faced butler was staring at me, a black automatic in his hand. The gun looked like a toy in his big fist. “Don’t move,” he said. He reached out to me, slowly and carefully, and patted my shoulders, then slipped his hand down and found the gun under my belt. He jerked it away from there and put it in his pocket I stood there, flat-footed, too disgusted with myself to make a move. , He backed into the foyer, the gun pointing at the third button of my shirt. “Come on in,” he said; “Walk right Lu. friend."

Asks Farmers File On Wheat Acreage Winfred L. Kerke, chairman of the Adams county PMA committee, stated today that forms for reporting the 1951, 1952 and 1953 wheat acreage have been mailed to farmers who have not reported, this information to the county He urges farmers to complete the forms and put them in the mail at once. i The chairman said, that a large percentage of .farmers have already made their report and that it is very important that all wheat growers report ,thefl- acreage in order that a fair share of the county wheat allotment may be alloted to each farm where wheat has been grown in the last three years, if wheat allotments are proclaimed by the Secretary of Agriculture. Wheat allotments and marketing quotas, if proclaimed, will affect each wheat grower and the total county acreage for 1951, 1952 and 1953 will influence the acreage allotment for the county if the Secretary calls for an allotment program.

“Sure, that’s why I came up,” I said. ” I went into the foyer, and he got behind me and kicked the door shut The gun dug into my back. "Straight ahead, sucker.” Moore stood in the middle of the living room, the light glinting on his glossy black hair, and a cross between a smile and a sneer on his broad tanned face. He was alone, his back to the windows facing the lake. , "The desk clerk told us you were on your way, Canalll,” he said. “That’s normal, isn’t it?”' v "You said Ellerton was expecting you. He isn’t, you know.” I I shrugged. “Okay, I fibbed.” I “What do you want?” “I’d like to see Ellerton.” “He’s not here now.” “Well, some mother time then,” I said, with a nonchalant shrug. “You’re a cute one. Always good for a laugh." “Berle pays me hush money to stay off TV. Don’t spread that around, because it’s not generally known. Where’s the red-head, Moore ? And don’t look so stupid. I know she came up here." He frowned and worried his lower lip. “You know she’s here, eh ? She’s in the bedroom with Eddie. They got things to talk over.” I “We’ve got a date. Tell her I’m waiting.” “You are cute.” He smiled across my shoulder, and I knew what was coming. I tried to duck, but that never works. The target is too big, and the guy swinging can correct for its shift very easily. The gun barrel caught me across the If ft temple, and I went down with d roar in my head, and a white-hot line of pain shooting from the base of my neck down my spine. Something was wrong, I knew, as I started the painful, upward swim to consciousness. I tried to move my arms, and legs, but couldn’t; the streaky memory of the pain shooting down my spine came back to me, and I wondered if this were a temporary or permanent paralysis. That can happen when you expose you* head to a fast-moving gun barrel. The intricate little gears get fouled up, and you spend the rest of your life reading, or working out problems in frure physics. Anything that can be done flat on your back with no physical exertion ... Something stung my face. I lifted my head, opened my eyes and I stopped worrying about paralysis. Moore stood in front of me, smiling his sneering smile, and as I focused on him his hand swung again and slapped me* across the mouth. I tried to get up, tried to start a punch but I wasn’t moving. That was the paralysis; I was sitting down, knees and elbows roped to the chair. I could wag my head, grit my teeth

and wriggle my toes. If that scared Moore he kept it out of his race. “Wake up, funny man,” he said. We Were in a bedroom, a highceilinged room, with a lovely gray carpet, large glossy bureaus and a giant bed covered with a thick, nubby monk’s-cloth spread. Eddie was standing behind Moore, At the foot of the bed, rubbing his hands together, and making little sucking noises with his lips. The red-head was lying face down on the bed, roped up like a Christmas turkey. She was watching me, sickly pale with fear. From the physical standpoint that was all she could do; they had tied her wrists behind her and roped them to her ankles, so that her body was arched like a tight bow. They hadn’t needed to do it that way unless it appealed to their sense of humor; and judging from the grin on Eddie’s tace, he was the boy with the sense of humor. f There was an entreaty in her eyes that turned my stomach cold. She wanted help from me, the guy who’d 'got her into this, ifUkd I could only stare at her and put a confidence into my face that I was a million miles from feeling. "Now I want answers,” Moore said. "Margo, be smart and level with me. If you don’t you’ll be the sorriest dame in Chicago. And you, snoop," he snapped at me, •I’m almost hoping you’ll hold out. I'd like to slap it out of you.” "You’re a tiresome punk,” I said, and got a back-handed blow across the mouth in return. I licked ’my lips and grinned at him. The anger was building in me furiously. Unless they killed me, they were in for a king-sized pay-off. But they probably weren’t dumb enough to let me live. “What do you want to know?” I said. • \ “Aw, he ain’t gonna be any fun," Eddie said, in a mocking voice. ?, “Shut up,” Moore said, looking at Margo. “Let’s try it again. The dope made you sick, eh?” ' “I Cold you, I told you,” she said, half Bobbing the words. "So you went to a doctor. What doctor?” T—l don’t know, jlt was a building in the Loop. On Dakf Street.

Armed Forces Are Caught In Squeeze To Squeeze Out Some Higher Rank Officers WAStfIUNGTON UP — The armed forces will have to get rid of some officers already on active duty in order to absorb the large class ot college ROTC students due to be commissioned next month. This was disclosed today, by military personnel officials who said the services are caught in a “bind” which can result only in “squeezing out” some higher rank officers. The problem is this: On the one hand, the services have had their manpower levels slasned in defense secretary Charles E. Wilson’s economy drive. On the other, one of thd largest ROTC classes in history —geared to preAVilson manpower goals—is due tq ibe commissioned this spring. The bind is most severe on the air force, .which took relatively" the heaviest' manpower cut from the new Republican defense team. The air force and the defense department have been carrying on a running feud for the past week over the officer problem. The air force, which has a class of ROTCp students to be commissioned, originally proposed not calling some of the men to active duty. This was promptly blocked by Wilson, who took th € stand that it would be unfair not to order the
