The fanfare of the coronation J was good diversion from war and austerity. 0 0 Now that the date of their execution has again been set, the country wonders whether the Rosenbergs will be executed on June 18. The appeals of the two convicted spies have been rejected by all the courts, although the couple deny guilt. —o—o Congressman Joe Martin tantalizes tneiubers of congress with the sales talk that personal income taxes may not be reduced next January, if the corporation excess -profits tax is not renewed. If the tax is extended beyond June, corporations will fork over about 1800,000,000. 0 0 Most people like flowers, so the announcement that a flower show wifi be held in the Library auditorium Saturday afternoon is of general interest. The show is sponsored by the Deeatur Garden Club and the Rose Garden club, giving us a bit of culture and beauty along the ordinary path of life. 0- o President EisenhoweKs television show from the White House presages a new approach to the 1956 presidential campaign. By that time a majority of homes in the United States will have good ' /TV reception and the candidates will use the radio and tele--1 vision in reaching the voters. To become a popular candidate, one will have to be adept as an actor and let the microwaves and coaxial cables, take the place of coun-try-wide “whistle stop\' campaigning. The voter will better enjoy sitting in his living room watching and listening to the candidate, then- parading to an auditorium • and being crowded in at a mass political gathering. 4 o——o The agriculture department has requested congress for permission to cut 1954-crop wheat plantings to 66-million acres, a reduction of nearly 20 percent under present - quotas. This is contrary to Republican campaign promises made to the farmer that he would not be bothered with government red tape in running his farm. A congressman from tl|e wheat-growing state of Kansas is opposed to the w drastic cut and counters with a

Weather's Effect on Disease

By HERMAN N. BUNDESEN, M.D. IT has been shown over and over again that weather changes can influence the onset of many diseases, as well as their course and outcome. We all know that people tend to have more colds in the winter months, while certain epidemic diseases, such as poliomyelitis, ttnd to occur at definite seasons. Ulcers are more frequent during the spring and fall. In many cases it is not completely clear just why the weather should have these effects. Affects Blood Clotting One condition particularly subject to weather and climate changes is clotting of the blood within the veins. It has been shown by statistical studies that blood clots following operations are more prevalent during the spring and fall than in summer and winter. There is a definite type of weather change, it seems, which lead* to frequent blood clots. When the barometer drops rapidly and then rapidly rises again, with the temperature doing just the opposite, this clotting in the veins will become more prevalent. It is also well known that alterations in the weather produce emotional changes in many persons. These emotional factors may cause spasm of the blood vessels in which they constrict, and sometimes lead to clotting, known as thrombosis. Weather May Be Studied After stormy weather, it is not rare for a hospital to have many cases of clotting in the veins fol-

proposal for a 15 percent reduction in acreage. We may have a grain surplus, btft with Pakistan and other parts of the world suffering for the lack of bread, it would appear that we could dispose of some ;of our wheat by feeding the hungry. . 0— —0 No less an authority than Gen. Hoyt S. Vandenberg, |told the senate appropriations committee, that the United States has only a “second best air force”. The retiring Air Force General is making a gallant fight to restore part of the five-bijlidn dollar cut in the budget. From a planned 143-wing goal,i the air force will be reduced fo»120 wings and possibly to 114, the general said. We should not gamble with the air force, for if wahcomes, planes and trained pilots will be our first li\ie of defense. 0 0 0 Final fill-in of the gas line trenches on Monroe and Second streets is bejng made, which' should ease traffic congestion along this highly traveled area. Street excavations always denote growth and expansion in some line of utility service and this fact is true in Decatur's disruption of normal traffic lanes. Water and gasi lines have been rebuilt and new ones constructed, all in keeping with a growing city. Now that the improvements are completed, we hope theistate highway commission soon comes along .and resurfaces Second and Monroe streets, over; which state highway routes pass, -7 0 Secretary of State Dulles, home from a tour of the Near East and South Asia, calls -for a cautious policy in dealing with our allies and with the nations vU would like to count op-our side in any showdown against Communism. He said that a Middle East defense pact may come in the future but no such alliance seems likely soon. Dulles pointy many powers in the Middle East are as afraid of France ahd (Britain as they are of Russia.! Because the United States is allied' with both these countries we also come under suspicion. Some of tpis distrust is caused by the rahting and propaganda of Communists and our \own fanatical leaders. But whatever the cause of the distrust we shall have to take steps to eradicate it; si

lowing surgery. Many doctors believe that in the future the weather will be studied before certain operations are performed. It has been shown thaj clotting or thrombosis is more frequent in the cold, northern part of the United States thah in the warmer south. < l Clotting In the veins can be quite dangerous, since a clot may loosen and travel through the blood vessels to a vital organ. It may reach the lungs or brain and prove fatal. Coronary Heart Disease The weather also has an important influence on coronary heart disease. In'many parts of the United States, January is the highest month for coronary attacks while July and August are the lowest. \ I ' ■ It is believed that the cold weather reduces the amount of blood pumped by the heart and causes a partial fall in the blood pressure. This may be detrimental to a person with coronary heart disease and may increase his chances of heart attack. There is no doubt that winter weather does increase dangers to the heart and circulatory system,• and may play a deunite part in diseases of these organs. I QUESTION AND ANSWER B. F. A.*. What does the medical term tachycardia’ mean and is the condition dangerous? Answer: Tachycardia means ’ rapid heart beat The causes of rapid heart beat are many. It may be due to nervousness, heart ; disease, or a thyroid disturbance. ’ The amount of danger would de- ■ pend upon the cause.

CHAPTER TWENTY-NINE WE WERE polling through the switching yards outside the station now, picking upi speed steadily. Terry settled back, staring at me: anger had replaced her first confusion. “What’s the point of this Bmovie routine?" she said. “I'm no child, as you seem to think, but an adult with a moderately active intelligence. For the record, 1 don’t like being teased and made a fool of by any all-powerful, all-knowing male. Unless you give me the whole story, and fast, I’m going to pull the emergency cord and hitchhike back to Chicago." “Come on, relax,” I said. She stood and gripped the emergency cord. “Okay, let’s have the story. Otherwise the ride’s over as far as I’m concerned." I grinned at her. “You’re not serious.” . h j "You’ll see." “Okay, go ahead. Stop the train.” She stared at me indecisively, looking contused, angry and miserable. Then she sat down slowly, her shoulders sagging, and looked out tne window. “You enjoy making a fool of me, don’t you?” “Os course not.” "You’re smart, tough and secure. I’m the twisted-up jerk. You enjoy emphasizing that difference, I think.” “Terry,, you’re nuts. You didn’t pull that cord because you knew it would be?a fool thing to do. You know 1 wouldn’t take you on a wild-goose chase just to make you look silly. True?” “Maybe. Give me your handkerchief." When she’d dried her eyes I took her hands in mine, and said, “I’m going to Philly to pick up the courier who brings dope into Chicago. We’re hoping he’ll make a contact with Ellerton this trip—because of the rumors Gibbons is spreading. ■ You’re on the inside track on this story, with Morrison’s and Gibbons’ blessing, and you’re going to do a job that will make every citizen in Chicago think that lynching is too good for Ellerton and his mob. Does the trip make sense now?” 1 “Why couldn’t you have briefed me in Chicago?" “I didn’t want anyone to know you were coming with me," 1 said. “I wasn’t worried that you’d talk, but the people at your building, people at the paper, would know you were off on something, and I couldn’t afford to let that information get to Ellerton.” She smiled slightly. "Okay, you win. 1 feel like a fool now, for sure. Forget my tantrum, will you?” “1 like having you pop off. You do it with flair.” "Seriously, how do you expect to locate this courier?” “Work and luck. I know Philly well, the cops, reporters, politicians, and so forth. My guess is that one of that crowd will know what 1 want.” “It’s going to be the biggest story in years if we swing it, Bill.” “Don’t worry, we’ll swing it.” We had another drink before we got to Fort Wayne.

who obviously thought we were a pretty weird pair, got Terry a toothbrush at the station drugstore. The countryside had darkened by then, and when we pulled out there were lonely yellow lights blinking from farmhouses along the right-of-way. It was time for dinner. Something about a train aommunicatcs a sense of excitement to the passengers. It’s the feeling of blind, rushing speed, or the demanding blast of the whistle at crossings, or something less obvious, perhaps; anyway, it’s true, and everyone who rides trains is affected by it. The diner, which looked more like a hotel lounge than something, traveling ninety miles an hour, wasn’t crowded: Terry and I faced each other across a table for four which we had to ourselves. We had the steak dinner, followed by black coffee and brandy. It was a fine dinner, and in my present mdSd I could almost shake off the bitterness I’d picked up in Chicago. Almost, but .not quite. I would not be free from that until I’d settled with Ellerton. Then' I could say good-by to Chicago, to my tinseled memories, and crawl back to my own life. Around nine-thirty Terry said she was tired. I told her I’d another cigaret, and she left me and went back to our room. A man Stared at the backs of her; legs as she walked through the car. She was coming along fin?, I thought. There was something vital in her face and walk now, something that hadn’t been there a few days ago. When I’d met her she was all angles and splinters: about as approachable as a cocklebur. Now she had an easier look to her, as the old wariness and tension faded away. I stopped in the club car to finish my cigaret, and got listening to a man who sold industrial insurance. He was saving to buy a home in the country; his wife, whose picture he happened to have with him, didn’t like city life. She wanted to be out where the kids could play in the fresh air. I had no objections. '■< I went back to our room, tapped on the door. Tetry said, “Come in,” and I saw that she was sitting on the long sofa beside the madedown berth.. The room was dark, but glowing faintly with moonlight. She had kicked off her shoes, loosed the neck of her blouse. She was lovely in the moonlight. “I feel like a fish out of water,": she said lightly, but deep concern was written in her face. “I know it’s awkward traveling together like this, but 1 don’t dare let you out of my sight We’ve got a job to do and you know it But I detect that something quite aside from our professional assignment is worrying you, so 'fess up, what is it?” . ' “Maybe I’ve ljust started to think." she said solemnly. “1 have a feeling that you are sorry for me. Are you, Bill?”! _ “Sure. 1 can understand that you’ve had some rough going. 1 am sorry for you.” “Just sorry, or don't you like me a wee Utile bit?"

?’Sure 1 like you, like you best of all when you're talking, you know, analyzing things to pieces." t turned her face to me and put my mouth down on hers. She strained closer to me and when I let her go, her eyes were shining. I *’Now,” 1 said, “enough gab for tonight- Very likely we’ve got rotigh going ahead so you’d better be a good little soldier and curl up there on your couch. Try to relax Even a cat-nap will help.". And so saying 1 tumbled .down on my own berth. The countryside was black and huge now, as we fore on through the night and the farmhouses little story book pictures against the ’ pale sky, I couldn’t sleep, so rising on one elbow 1 lit a cigaret and dropped the match on the floor. Terry bn her couch opposite me was asleep her ~ hands cupped under her head, her slim legs crossed at the ankles. She wasn’t, a bad subject for esthetic contemplation. There was a clean functional line about her that I liked. ■j! I 1 Suddenly she stirred and sat up like a startled child. “1 was watching you,” I told her. “No wonder I woke up,” she laughed, “and just when 1 was drebmmg of my father. I wish you'd met him, Bill, you’re just big enough and mean enough to have handled him." “Mean enough?” She laughed quietly. “Sure you’re mean. But not like my father was.” “He sounds great Good guy tc take on a long fishing trip." “You’d have drowned him. Maybe Td have helped.” 1 glanced at her lean profile. She wasn’t kidding. “He was no good, eh ?” “1 didn't think so, and my opinion was the majority view. He was a big, powerful man, out of’work most of the time. But he had a spread streak in him. He knew 1 had he didn’t have, that none oi the family had, and while he didn’t understand it, he knew it could be made to pay off.” ; , “Well, how did it work out?” >< “From the time- I started writing be locked me up like a nun. He didn’t want anything to distract me from becoming famous. The few- boys 1 met got chased, but . fast. 1 grew up hating him, hating, everybody, I guess.” “Where is he now?” “He lives in Florida. I told you he was shrewd. I send him a check every month, and he lies tn the sup with a bottle beside him, and prob? ably' some dame." “You forgave and forgot, eh?” “No. 1 just didn’t much care. I —1 decided 1 didn’t have it in- mt to hate a man thoroughly. There Iwas, no love, no hate, nothing.” “My old man and 1 were pretty good • friends." I said. “He used to slip jne a swig of beer when my mother was out of the kitchen."' , “That sounds nice.” •*" p She was near tears. 1 put my hand on her shoulder. "Forget your old man,” 1 said. “We have a job to do.*" f (To Be Continued)
