Your Health in Wartime Canker-Sores, Their Source; Recommended Treatment

By DR. THOMAS D. MASTERS

At some time or other, nearly everyone is annoyed by the dise comfort of canker-sores. Some people are so unfortunate as to have , them with a frequency and intensity that is very painful and even nerve-wracking. Speecii becomes burdensome, and the strain involved in enduring the soreness sends many sufferers into seclusion—a re= treat hardly justified by the condition’s seriousness, but a sore temptation nevertheless. Despite | - the pain, one can live through canker-sores, and enlist the help of his physician in solving the mystery of thejr origin, without being absent 3 2 from the job. D Canker - sore

Mayor Tyndall termed hound’s plan possibly to locate a landing field here on a reconstructed roof of the terminal station at Iilinois and Market sts, as "not too fantastic at all.” He added that the commercial development of the helicopter seemed “verv logical and practical” to him, and said the city would encourage the Greyhound plan as a post-war project. An aviation enthusiast himself, the mayor asserted that in so far as the air bus service hoped to supply rapid and inexpensive transportation to local Midwestern poin's. that it might become a modern successor to what previously was the largest interurban system in the world. “Indianapolis was once the headquarters for a great traction network,” said the mayor. “Doésn’t it seem likely that it should regain its place in the transportation field by assuming leadership in posi-wal aviation activities,” Council Is Interested

Council President John A. Schumacher predicted a ‘‘considerable interest” in helicopter travel after the war and said the council was ‘open to all suggestions as to how the city might better accomumodate what promises to be a new’ and revolutionary method of local

The need of including sites for possible helicopter landing areas among Indianapolis post-war blueprints was foreseen by City PostWar Chairman C. A. Huff. “At present,” he pointed out, ‘there aren't any open spaces in the down-

»lown area where such fields migir

be established. If this plan is a public service. we'll certainly have to consider steps for its development.” While granting that the helicopter “will play an important role in post-war aviation,” Col. Roscoe Turner, flying authority, was inclined to minimize the craft's bus service potentialities. Turner Is Doubltful

He pointed out copiers carry not persons, mcluding a pilot. Passenger loads may eventually be increased to accommodate eight or 10 persons, he asserted. but he doubted whether larger helicopters could ever be operated commercially. However, he emphasized the potential value of the helicopter as a “locdl and individual transportation facility.” utilized in the air in somewhat the same way as the automobile is used by small groups

He said that, he hoped eventually to be able to’ “land my plane on or near the Columbia club,” and thus save something like an hour now spent mm getting to and from Municipal airport to the Circle. Maj. Winslow Critical

Most critical of the service project was Maj. Winslow, Municipal airport visor, who thought swiftly changing downtown air currents would play havoc with planes trying to, sit down among the tall buildings. “All you have to do is watch the ladies’ skirts flv on Washington and Illinois sts. to realize the practical problems involved in bringing a plane down in the labyrinth,” he said. “If they move the terminal out to the airport where air currents arent too whimsical, I might be a little less dubious.” The helicopter service, although faster than busses, would be somewhat slower than regular air transport methods.

VIERECK FACES 12-YEAR TERM

Failing to Register as Nazi Agent.

WASHINGTON, July 17 (U. P). —George Sylvester Viereck, an agent of the German Reich who failed to register as such with the state department, today faces a maximum sentence of 12 years jail and a $6000 fine. He was found guilty of violating

the federal agents registration act | ‘at 11:20 last night by a jury of nine

men and three women who had deliberated more than eight hours. { The verdict was “guilty on all six counts of the federal indictment.” The jurors had been told by Justice Bolitha J. Laws earlier that the “sharp issue” in the case was “whether Viereck was or was not an agent of the German Reich.” They were asked then to decide whether the defendant failed to register with the state department the names of all the foreign principles for which he worked. and whether he had given full details of the activities he engaged in on their behalf when he registered as an agent.

‘Tricked’ Congressmen

The government had charged that Viereck had used his registration with the state Yepartment as an “author, journalist and publicist” as a “camouflage” for more extensive propaganda activities. The government also charged that Viereck had carried his propagandizing right into the halls of congress and had “tricked” several senators and congressmen into working with him. The trial ends more than a vear's effort by the government to convic: of a 1942

sentence in

| before the supreme court reversed

the decision. His second trial ended in mistrial June 22. The third trial which ended last night started June 25.
