opened two weeks ago resumes today following a week end recess during which Mis O'Hara emphatically denied testimony putting her in Grauman’s Chi* nese Theater at the time the magazine article claimed she was there yith a “Latin.” '■* She said she has a stamped passport and 10 witneses to prove she was in Spain making a movie in the fall of 1953 when the alleged incident took, place. She backed up her denial by increasing the ante in her libel suit against the magazine from one million to five million dollars. Defense Attorney Arthur J. Crowley * maintained he could prove Miss O'Hara was in the theater with the "Latin boyfriend." Michael Mourdant-Smith, Confidential's chief European correspondent, was to wind up his testimony for the defense today, followed by a “mystery man” whom Crowley indicated might be the man Crowleys claims was with Miss O'Hara in the ornate Hollywood theater. __ Crowley scoffed Miss O'-

Hara's claim thgt she was in Europe at the tiipe. He said James Craig, former assistant manager of Grauman’s, was giving only the approximate time when he testified Friday that he Saw Miss O'Hara at the theater in November, 1953. Therefore. Crowley said, the incident could have occurred earlier or later—“a month or two in either direction." Two Are Fined On Speeding Charges Regis C. Aiken, 52. of Pittsburgh, Pa., was arrested by state police Saturday, for speeding 60 miles an hour in a 30-mile an hour zone in Preble. He later appeared ip J. P. court, and was fined $5 and costs. Also arrested by state police for speeding was Orin Hutchcraft, 31. of Urbana, Hl. He was arrested Sunday, two miles west <?f Decatur, on U S. 224. When he appeared before justice of the peace Floyd Hunter, he was fined 11 and costs for the' law violation.

Cautions Victims Os Deadly Malady No Known Cure For Lou Gehrig Disease WASHINGTON (UP)—The government as an act of mercy cautioned victims of an incurable malady today against false hope. The malady is “Lou Gehrig's disease" or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). ' It is amost invariably fatal. Medical science knows of no effective treatment for it. In recent months dispatches have appeared in newspapers around the world reporting that a German -physician, Dr. Boss of Schwenningen, claimed some success in treating ALS sufferers. According to Edward M. Glick; information officer of the Public, Health Service's National Institute of Neurological Diseases, the German reports sowed a bitter seed which since has borne fruit in

needless heartache. The institute has received many hundreds of desperate inquiries from ALS victims or their relatives, in this country and abroad, who had read of the German doctor's claims. It has been Glick's unhappy duty to dash the hopes of the stricken. He has done it by letter, telegram, telephone and even cable. “To the best of our knowledge,” he says, “there is no known cure for ALS, nor is there a treatment which is fully effective.” ALS is, a degenerative disease of the nervous system. First there is weakness of the limbs, then a wasting of the muscles, finally involvement of the brain and death. Death usually occurs about three years after the first symptoms are diagnosed. The malady is called “Lou Gehrig's disease” after the famous Yankee first baseman who died of it in 1941. There are 15,000 to 16,000 cases of Lou Gehrig’s disease in this country alone — and an estimated 4,000 deaths a year from ALS. Second Polio Death Reported In State INDIANAPOLIS (UP) — Indiana’s second polio death of J 957 was recorded Sunday when William P. Langdon. 25, Brazil, died in Robert Long hospital here. Langdon’s death was attributed to bulbar polio. He was ill only a few days, and in the hospital only 28 flours.

Says Church Losing Position In Asia Warning Issued By Church Spokesman MINNEAPOLIS (UP> — The Christian church is losing its position both in importance and numbers among the newly freed nations of Asia, a Lutheran spokesman warned today. Dr. Fridtjov Birkeli of Norway, director of the department of world missions of the Lutheran World Federation, spoke at a plenary session of the third assembly of the LWF meeting here. He said that many new states in Asia have established state religions which apparently are pushing Christianity “out into the periphery in importance and number.” But he added: “Ths does not mean we have lost faith and want to give it up.” “Christian influences in Asia go far wider than the nuipber of Christians indicates,” he said. “Christ has not yet said his last word in Asia and he counts on us in the present battle.” Dr. Birkeli said it is not yet known whether Africa will become a so-called Christian continent, and said it will depend upon what the “Christian church will be doing in these crucial years to come.” He said the church must be in a position to become the “strongest and most decisive factor” in Africa regardless of developments on the political and social levels.

Dr. Birkeli recommended that a worldwide Lutheran missionary broadcasting program be underevery young church in Africa and every young church in Africa ane Asia with an extensive radio service.” He said the church must use the air waves to bring its message to the people.
