The Mayor of 1 - the town fears for the safety of the people and said the fumes already ha>e blighted vegetation around the tanks, in some cases as much as a mile away. The chemical was stored in tanks on a railroad siding and officials say it could contaminate the water supply in the town.

—,- - — Sympiqms of Smoker's Asthma Caused by Chemical Irritation

By HERMAN N. BUNDESEN, M.D. THE typical wheeze of the allergic * asthma victim is also the typical wheeze of the sufferer of \smoker’s asthir a. But there the similarity ends. Smoking can cause ah asthma of a non-allergic type In certain Individuals. However, the attacks of wheezing not as severe in X smoker’s asthma as in the usual asthma. An individual, as a rule, can sleep lying down while the true allergic asthmatic patient , cannot. The smpker’s irritation Is r usually confined to the upper part of the tubes leading to the lungs, while ip other types of asthma, nearly all of the tubes leading to the air sacs of the i lungs are involved. Allergy Signs Absent The common signs of an lergy are absent in this disease. J Typical blood cells, known as eosinophils, which are found increased in the blood of allergic people, are, also absent. It has been found that people who react to smoking in- this way niay also be irritated by odors from . paint, burning wood, frying fat, r 1 and certain types of smoky dust. It is believed that chemical irri-, tation from the tobacco causes the asthma. i ' 1 4

On November 2, 1920, the results of Harding-Cox elections . were broadcast by station KDKA. It marked the first successful broadcast and the electiori was received by a handful of amateurs who had built home-receiving sets and by a tew officials of the broadcasting company who . had - specially built receiving sets. Today radio has become an important part of our lives. A twist of the dial brings us entertainment or news from some far off corner of the world. A whole generation has grown up to take radio for granted with no knowledge of what life was like before it existed. ’y; • 0 0 Is Ohio For Taft:— Robert A. Taft, Jr., son of the late senator, is reported planning to run next year for his father’s senatorial seat. He is. a lawyer s in his father's firm and has never held public office. He is not widely known in the state. Obviously he counts on admiration for the father to gain votes for the son. A senatorial vacancy a few years ago was won by a Cleveland lawyer named Kingsley A. Taft, unrelated to the senator. It was felt then that many electors saw the name of Taft on the ballot and marked an X in front of it *■ without inquiring what Taft this T might be. Young Taft might make a good senator, adding a modern touch to his father’s ideals of service. But do far his senatorial quality is unknown. The Taft son will not have smooth sledding in the Republican primary. Several otjier candidates are announced. II he wins over them, he will have to face the Democratic nominee, who might be the present Democratic governor, Frank J. Lausche, or the newly appointed senator. Thomas Burke, retirin? mpyor of Cleveland.

The irritation causes excess mucus to form In the air passages. This produces the wheezing. The person bps difficulty inhaling and, on exhaling, a wheeze or whistle-dike sound is very prominent. A sore throat is a usual accompaniment of the disease. Attacks of coughing are also frequent. Symptoms Relieved The symptoms are usually caused by smoking and are relieved by discontinuing at least ! the excessive use of tobacco. During a very severe attack, the usual drugs that relieve asthrria, such as epinphrine, are of help. This does not mean that all types of asthma are caused by smoking. In those that are, however, it Is well to discontinue thia habit. The doctor will decide on the best treatment. QUESTION AND ANSWER R. A.: I have heard that X-ray ; -can prove dangerous. Is this true? Answer: If used in too great an amount. X-ray can prove danger- . ous. It can cause a blood disease, , forms of skin burns, cancer, and . other such diseases if used in ex- , cess. However, if used under the i careful guidance of! a physician, there is little danger from its use. I ' . ' '' II"'. 1

Israeli Train Wrecked Near Jordan Border Trouble Shooter For U. N. Arrives To Submit Report JERUSALEM UP — An Israeli freight train was wrecked today by land mines near the border of Jordan and an Israeli spokesman said it was an act of Arab sabotage. ' The mining of the train was the latest incident of violence in a series of acts which have inflamed relations between Israel and h?r hostile Arab neighbors and precipitated a menacing crisis In the ■Middle (East. In another development, Israeli officials charged the United Sta f is was trying to win the friendship and sympathy of the Arab states at the expense of the Jewish state. They said the suspension of economic aid to Israel was the latest result of this alleged new state department policy. Thirteen cars of a 52-car train went off the rails and smashed into a rocky hillside near Kalkilya, between Haifa and Tel Aviv near the Jordan border. A spokesman said ’.here were no casualties. Within t>wo hours of the,incident. United Nations observers had joined Israeli police at the scene ot the wreck. To Report To U.N. NEW YORK UP — Maj. Gen Vagn Bennike, chief of the United Nations truce observation commission in Palestine, arrived today to report to the United Nations security council on the Israeli-Arab crisis. 4 The Danish general said the differences in the Middle. East are •'critical?"!but he said he did not believe that the situation would break out “into a major conflict.” Berinike said he did not think it would be possible for Israel ar.d jordan to settle their dispute be tween themselves. “The situation must be dealt with at a much higher. level,” he said. “It must be dealt with between the big powers and the two sides immediately involved in the thing.” f The I’.N. trouble -.l ooter arrived as tensions rose in the Middle East. An Israeli freight train was wrecked today by land mines near the border of Jordan and- an Israeli spokesman charged it was an act of Arab sabotage. Bennike said he would not propose that present ae-militarized areafs between Jordan and Israel be extended. He. added that he thought it would be better to “cancel" these zones,: but he did not elaborate. Ille said that he had read in newspapers that Iraq and Syria were sending troops to Jordan to aid the latter country in its dispute with Israel, and he asserted that this leads to “a dangerous situation.” - -

Fortress Town Is Nabbed By French HANOI. Indochina (UP) — A French armored column today smashed last-ditch Communist defenses and captured the fortress town of Phu Nho Quan, the biggest prize taken in the eight-day-old French drive against northern Red strongholds. The streets were deserted as French tanks rumbled in. Until the Communists fled the city had served for seven years as a major Red supply center. Claim Living Costs Are Flattening Off Figures Supporting Eisenhower Belief > WASHINGTON UB — Government figures today appeared to support President 'Eisenhowers belief. that living costs are levelling off despite new record peaks set thri last three months. Reports by the bureau of labor statistics — ( which registers the change in/living costs each month —show that prices paid by the average family rose only seventenths of I per cent in the 12 months prior to last August. ? Food costs, contrary to the cur-, rent slightly rising trend, fell off 2,1 per cent in the same period. Air. Eisenhower told his news conference Wednesday that stories stating that the cost-of-living has reached new peaks do not accurately reflect the situation. He said the increase has been considerably less Gian in recent years ami that living cpsts were flattening out. ’ In 1950 and 1951. the bureau’s consumer price index rose <ln average of moreth an 4 per cent each year.
