Food Scarce In Nazi
Camp, American Says

GENEVA, Switzerland, Aug. u.
-R-"Short on food and water but
long on entertainment" is the des-
cription by an American OF a
German internment camp where
he was held for three months.
The former prisoner is Alfred
Raymond of Chicago, one of the
organizers of the American volun-
teer ambulance corps which serv-
ed with the French army.
Raymond and three comrades
Murray Shipley of Cincinnati;
Louis Wehrle of Ft. Wayne, Ind,
and Marcus Clark of Hollywood,
Calif.-were released from the
camp near Dresden last Friday
and reached Geneva yesterday.
They had been prisoners since they
we're captured at Montcomet,
northern France, last May II.
"Our camp, which was divided
into three parts, contained $4,000
French, Polish and Belgian Of
ficers and men," Raymond said.
He said the entire camp depend
ed for it's water supply on a town
of 5000 inhabitants and water
therefore was limited,
1--WE were seldom thirsty" he
continued, "but almost Away

The keel of the submarine Grenadier

The navy has 1913 useful planes.
Last year 933 were ordered, and
some of these are now being de-
livered. This year 5000 will be Or
dered for 1871 and 1912, and If a
second appropriation goes through
10000 more will be ordered for the
same period. This schedule contem'
plates $500 to 5000 planes in 1912.
A total of $4,000 has been au
thorized for the navy. The biggest
trouble here is to get trained pilots
for these planes. The navy and the
marines have 300 pilots now, next
year they should have $500 sailors
with wings.

ATTACK ON F. R.
COP Nominee Repeats His
Criticism OF Roosevelt's
Defense Program
nv F. KOOP

NEW YORK, Aug. 27.-R-
After expanding his criticism OF
the Roosevelt defense program
with a demand for. an end to bunk
and conversation" Wendell l.. Will
kie gave his approval today to an
AUGMENTED western campaign tour
which will carry him 1000 miles.
The itinerary as announced by
republican presidential headquar-
tiers calls for a half dozen major
speeches in the last II days OF
September, interspersed with go to
70 rear platform appearances and
brief talks in 10 states.
Willkie issued his latest denun-
citation of preparedness plans at a
press conference yesterday by ad-
vocation that President Roosevelt
..delegate substantial authority" 10
the national defense advisory COM
mission and designate n mem
Der as chairman.
ANYONE with the most elemen-
tary understanding of the function
ing of organizations knows that no
a head" said Willkie.
"You couldn't u a peanut stand
if you had five employees with 40
directing head who could devote
himself to the business.
ut is time for bunk and con-
~versation to end and time to get
the machinery going"
The defense advisory commits
sion is composed of seven mem
bers who report to the President.
Willkie commended hat no presi-
dent "can possibly give time of
consideration to all the problems
that such a board has to solve"
Without a directing head, he SAID,
''jealousies, discord, in~efficiency
and failure" are bound to arise.
The nominees schedule called
for his return by plane late today

set up temporary headquarters.
He will leave Chicago Sept. IA,

NAILS FINDING
SHERMAN RIGHT
Restrictions OF All Types
Put Check-Rein On Nor
NAL Civilian Life
Ry ANGUS M. THUERMER

neutrality-suspicious. Of the
Associated Press)-Nearly a year
of war has put the ~check-rein on
normal civilian life in Germany.
Restrictions necessary for the
successful continuation Of war ac'
tivities pop out at you from the
most unexpected corners.
First of all, there's that blackout.
Really most persons would feel sort
of ashamed and theatrical-after
spending - months in the evening
dark-to have to step out under a
brilliant street lamp.
Eyes have become so accustomed
to struggling around in the dark
that the business in phosphorescent
buttons has dropped off to nil.
Then there is the taxi situation.
Woe betide you if you get into a
taxi without an iron clad, double
barreled reason. Tired feet don't
count. Rushing over to see a sick
aunt might get you by-maybe,
maybe.
Now considering foods in res
taurants-there is cavier and vodka
to be had. At cavier and 'odka
prices, we mean. That's without
food tickets though, so its some
thing to consider.
On the other hand if you are
thinking of sitting down in a res
taurant, or out on the sidewalk
cafe and letting your phantasy
roam, ordering the waJ you did way
back in '3S, you've got another
thought coming. But the good bur-
gel is broken in to the meat, but
ter, bread and what-have-you cou-
pons.
The English n lot of jour-
mails too, they say, headed for the
Reich.
And one more thing about the
black outs-if you're a second story
man and get caught practicing y,ur
profession in the blackout-it's no
hemstitch-a-hanky for three months
they make you a head shorter.
But on the whole the almost
never failing Prussian ability to
make things click keeps everybody
smiling and every tummy full. The
fact the fellow on the other side"
may be having a few pinches here
and there too, makes everyone will
ing to hitch up the belt a couple
of notches.
It's war.

Medical Care
BY LOGAN CLENDENING. M, d

ny wi. II.
The late DR.. Richard c. Cabot,
one of the greatest American
clincians, after an elaborate
study of hospital records pointed
out that there are four great COM
mon causes of heart disease:
Cd Rheumatic fever; ca arte-
rial degeneration of middle age;
90 Syphilis, and () thyroid dis
ease. The last two are not very
frequent. Rheumatic fever in the
young and arterial change in the
middle-aged account 80 per cent
of heart disease.
Today and tomorrow my friend,
DR.. Don Carlos Petite, of Kansas
City, will discuss these two forms.
The association of rheumatic
fever or acute articlar rheuma-
tism with the development OF
heart disease has long been rec
ogniZed. 1t has likewise been
observed for many years that
chorea, commonly termed st.
Vitus Dance" is frequently a fore
runner of heart disease. Rheu-
matte fever should not be con.
fused with the lay term of ''rheu-
matism," which is an all-inclusive
term, including all types of pains
in the extremities.
General Foe
This disease is no respecter of
age, e or race. 1t is seen more
commonly for the first time be-.
tween the ages of five and twelve
years. The younger individuals are
likely to have mild rheumatic Joint
involvement and more S e e
heart complications, while adults
suffer greater joint involvement
and lesser cardiac damage.
The child may have only a mild
fever, occasional nose bleed, with
pains in the extremities which
may be passed off as growing
pains. He may be ill from the
onset with fever, tender, swollen
joints, sweats and rapid pulse.
The most serious permanent
effect of rheumatic fever is the
damage to the heart.
Often Mild
During the course of infection,
all of the structure of the heart
are involved, including the valves,
the heart muscle, and the cover
ing of pericardium. Many of these
cases are mild and with proper
rest and care may escape perma-
nent damage. This type of infec-
ton may remain active for months
and during that time certain struc-
lures may be permanently dam
aged. the most common being the
damage to the valves of the heart.
The individual who has rheu-
matte heart disease should seek
the advice of his physician con-
corning his diet, rest, and tn e
amount of physical strain he is to
be permitted. He should strive to
arrange his scheme of living SO
that he will reduce as much as
possible the physical and mental
strain upon the heart. Life al be
extended to or beyond the normal
expectancy in a large percentage
of these cases if an intelligent out
look with cooperation between pa
tent and physician is maintained.
Improve diet by adding milk,
eggs, fresh meat, green vegeta-
bles, and either tomato juice or
citrus fruits daily, supplementing
the diet with cod liver oil. Avoid
exposure to cold, damp weather by
dressing warmly. These children
should not be sent to open air
schools 3

RALElGH, Aug. are
some indications that ]. M. Brough-
ton, who will be the next governor

But they are unanimous o n ! y
that far. Each lieutenant has a
friend of his own for each job
which would be made open, and
thus there is no part of agreement
on the vital matter of who shall
replace whom.
So far MI. Broughton has done
one of the best jobs on record in
the matter of keeping quiet in all
known languages about his inten-
tons toward those present officials
and employees who did not sup
port him in the primary.
AS a result such wrong-guessers
as Guitar Moore of the ABC board,
Dudley Bagley of the State REA.
Bob Thompson of the State News

1t seems that Person county still
wants prohibiton-but doesn't want
it much. Two ABC elections, twice

Commissioner of Agriculture w.
Kerr Scott must not know that the
primary is over. At least he has
arranged a program for himself
this week which looks for all the
world like the itinerary of a candi-
date.
Last night he was at Woodland

National Grange spoke. Tomorrow
he will talk at Ayden. Thursday

Thursday night he will attend a

u. S. Defenses
BY MILTON BRONNER
Service Staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON - When Uncle
Sam got ready for the big rearma-
ment program asked by President
Roosevelt in May, the navy snapped
into action way ahead of the army.
It's the navy's way. It seems to be
characteristic of navies. The British
navy did the same thing when re-
armament was the order of, the day
in Britain.
Here's one big proof of how the
American Navy department jumped
to action. The Defense commission
until July 27 had cleared contracts
totaling $1,722, 900, 900 and of this
amount 81, 349, 1929, 342 was for the
navy.
