The New York Times reports that a chimpanzee at the New York too owns a mink coat. Monkey business must pay well these days. 0 p— Another baseball season ' has been launched and Americans will now follow their favorite sport. With fans and rooters in the grandstands, all the noise you hear will not be from Washington and congressional committees. Baseball provides a sort of pop-off valve for many Americans. _—o 0 Illinois citizens can settle flown today after a hectic primary election campaign, featured by nine Republican candidates for the party's nomination for U. S. senator. The winner will oppose the able Sen. Paul Douglas, who evidently is not worrying much about the outcome in November. ~ 0 0 Atomic energy will not be used entirely for blowing up the world. The nation's first full-scale atomic power plant Is to be built along the Ohio river near Pittsburgh. When completed it will produce enough electricity to service a community of 400,000. If what the scientists say about atomic power is true,-cost of producing electricity should be greatly lowered in the modern plant. Harnessing of atomic power for peacetime use would change the world, not destry it. x x 0 0 The senate vacancy caused by the death of Sen. Dwight Griswold of Nebraska, will be filled by a Republican. The governor of the state, also a Republican willfollow the traditional policy of naming a successor from his party. This is the second death of a Nebraska senator in less than a year and a half. Sen. Griswold was appointed following the death of Sen. Kenneth S. Wherry In January. 1983. The late senator served three terms as governor of his state and was recognized as an able and sincere executive. . ——o- 0 Another “scandal" has come,to the surface in Washington. Accusations are rife that executives in the Federal Housing Administration have permitted home-re-pair crews to fleece home owners. The head of the department has been fired and there appears to be rumblings of a political shakeup in the FHA. Much of the trouble stems from politics dnd evidently someone is trying to get even with the person who has the job of hiring and firing government employes.

Ssvere Sore Throats Should Be Given Prompt Treatment

By HERMAN N. BUNDESEN, M.D. ALARM clocks that fail to ring may seem like the main reason for people missing work. Actually, a simple sore throat ranks far higher on that list of reasons. It is estimated that a sore throat is the third most common cause of absenteeism among workers. The most common type of sore throat is due to a virus. This type is usually not amenable to treatment with the sulfa drugs or antibiotics and will clear up by itself in a few days if left alone and proper care is taken. Many Types Other types of sore throats may be due to bacteria such as streptococcus, and many of these are usually helped by penicillin and the other antibiotic drugs. A very common type of throat difficulty is known as Vincent’s aore throat. In this, there are usually spotty areas of soreness in the throat with many raggededged little ulcers. This type of sore throat is usually helped very dramatically by penicillin. A Serious Type One type of sore throat that frequently goes undiagnosed is due to a disease known as infectious mononucleosis. Persons suffering from this ail-

Breaking of the stbry about Dr. J. Robert Oppenheimer, one of the world’s most renowned atomic physicists, and his alleged connections with Communist movements, sounds ds weird as some of the stories of international intrigue turned out by his near namesake, E. Phillips Oppenheim. Charges of the Atomic Energy Commission against Oppenheimer hit like a bomb over the country. Until relieved of his position with the government the noted scientist was a member of President Eisenhower's Science Advisory Commission. The country wants more information on this mysterious case. 454 0 0 Washington is not only the scene of governmental edicts, congressional debates, investigations and political wrangling. It is also the site of a unique educational experiment. The Hannah Harrison school offers women between the ages of 20 and 55 opportunity to obtain education enabling them -to earn their—own living. Established through a 33,000,000 bequest of a department store owner, the school is open to widows, single women, or divorced or de-, serted women. It offers courses in business, commercial food management, institutional housekeeping and clothing construction. It Is not a college. It is simply a training school. The women students are given free room, board and tuition while trying to catch up on their education. •. o o Indiana has many famous sons listed in “Who's -Who", men Os great accomplishment and famed in most every field of endeavor.

ment are prone to suffer relapser , and a long-drawn-out course oi J Illness. During the phase of severe sore throat and temperature, I the patient should be confined tc ■ bed. A simple blood test known as i the heterophil antibody test will make the diagnosis. With infec- > tious mononucleosis, there may I be enlargement of the glands of the neck and the patient may have a blood count somewhat similar to that of leukemia. However, the heterophil antibody test will differentiate between the two ailments.

I have made many sketches of these Judeans but find none to fit my purpose. Instead I feel I must meet that Person of whom I twice wrote. Why, I do not know. Early this morning when Carus the centurion came to . the villa I made known to him what was in my mind. “Os course,” I said, “such a meeting is impossible. No one could be jound in this great mob which has invaded 1 the city for their Feast of the Passover” He looked amused. “He shall be fpund,” he said. “This Roman army, sir, has ears at every wall and eyes at every window!” , ~ Carus returned at noon with news that his spies had discovered the Person I sought would celebrate the Feast of the Passover, or the Pasch (as these Judeans call it), at a certain house with a small group of his closest followers. I was delighted. Carus shook his head. “My spies have also brought ill r - news. He, who, incidentally, is called Jesus, has invoked the enmity of certain powerful men of the priestly class and they plot to destroy him. Furthermore, they have bribed one of his followers to betray Jesus into their hands!” ■ “He must be warned!” I said. “Not by us, str! Carus looked alarmed. “We are Romans. We cannot interfere!’ He spoke truth, for as a Roman citizen I could not mix in a quarrel between these people. . However, there could be no wrong in our visiting the street wherein this Jesus celebrated the Passover in hopes of gaining the interview I now so greatly sought. So thither we went. ' Jis we entered the street a man hurried past us. His face was shocking. On it was written stark fear and his eyes held the horror of certain doom. As he vanished, Carus grasped my arm. “That sir,” he said, “is the one the spies say is the traitor. His name is Iscariot. Attached is my sketched impression of that miserable man. .

Says Nation Is Well Prepared Against Attack Chairman Os House Committee Asserts Defenses Improved WASHINGTON UP — Chairman Dewey Short of the house armed services committee said today “we’re in pretty good shape" to head off an atomic attack on American cities. He said continental defenses are getting better al! the time and already have ueveloped to th point where it is “silly" to talk about evacuating big target centers. “Anyway it would be disastrous th try to evacuate a big city like Washington,” the Missouri Republican told a reporter. “What we have got to do is to keep the enemy from getting through.” ; Short’s comments to a reporter followed a close-door briefing of bis committee by air force officials on current steps to tighten the detection and interception iireen around this country and Canada. - Congressional testimony made public today disclosed however, the navy fears “potential enemies” have the know-how to blockade U. S. coastal shipping lanes. The reason is development of new. highly-destructivfc mines_which the navy admits it doesn't know how to combat. -Short’s remarks ran counter to recent statements by civil defense officials that efforts may be made to get people out of threatened tar’ get cities—where enough warning is available. 1 ■—■■■■■ —■ —-»■ Many civil defense officials think destruction from atomic and Hydrogen bombs is now too terrible to risk staying put and seeking the 'lest shelter at hand, as formerly was recommended. "That is silly," said Short 'We’re in pretty good shape. Our .tefenses are getting better all the time. It will he increasingly difficult for an enemy air attack to get through."' Rep. Carl T. Dirham. (D-N.C.i. . committee member, said the air tree testimony was encouraging, ilthough not sensational. "V,e are making some imjnovenents," Durham said.

Noon-Day Service At Zion Lutheran Traditional Good Friday Services The three hours of darkness while Jesus Christ suffered the agonies of crucifixion will be observed at Zion Lutheran Church, West (Monroe Street, with the traditional noonday service, begin- ; nihg at 12:30 o’clock. This service of worship features the reading of the history of the Passion and death of Jesus Christ according to the four Gospels. The twelve lessons of the history are interpersed with appropriate hymns and prayers. The children of the Saturday Bible school -will sing the hymn, "In the Hour of Trial.” according to the melody by John B. Dykes. The service, which is a complete unit and lasts one hour and 15 minutes, will -be conducted by the pastor of Zion Lutheran, the Rev. (Edgar P. Schmidt. The solemness of the service is emphasized by the removal of all altar paraments. There are no special musical numbers, and no organ prelude or postlude. The Bible's own story of the suffering and death of the Son of Cod is in itself a most impressive and inspiring sermon. The altar cross is draped In black and the pastor is robed in black, rather than the usual white surplice and the colored clergy stole. The quiet sacredness of this reading service has helped it to grow In popularity. The public ik invited. it “ A .Maundy Thursday Service, with the celebration of the Sacrameat of Holy Communion will begin at 7:30 o’clock.
