Achondroplastic Dwarfs

Perhaps the commonest type Of
dwarf one that everyone has
seen at some time or other-has
a normal trunk and head, but very
short legs and very short arms.
The head appears abnormally
large but this is simply in COM
parison with the short stature.
The chest and abdomen in these
dwarfs is practically the same size
as those of a normal individual.
They are known as "achondro-
plastic dwarfs" and the condition
has nothing to do with the endo-
crime glands and cannot be helped
by the exhibition of the endocrine
glands. Nor is it hereditary.
The fundamental abnormality
is a lack of growth Of the bones of
the arms and legs at the extremi-
ties. Normally these extremities
are cartilaginous and are replaced
by bones in the course of develop
ment.
These dwarfs are really similar
to Pekingese dogs. The Peke is
actually an achondroplastic dwarf.
The dwarf of good proportions
is called "ateleiotic'" ia pocket
edition of adults" ia man seen
through reversed opera glass"
Another form of dwarfism is
due to ricketts,, which is simply a
nutritional disease of infancy due
to lack of Vitamin D and sunshine,
and calcium and phosphorus in the
diet.
Among the true endocrine
dwarfs, there are several forms,
some due to lack of secretion of
one gland and some due TO lack of
secretion of another.
A great deal has been done in
recent years in the way of at
tempting to treat dwarfs. There
is no question, some Of them can
be made to grow several inches if
the condition is properly diagnosed
and recognized early enough in
life.

Robbery
Continued From First Page)

States Commissioner Needham c.
Turnage probably this afternoon.
The suspect has been in and out
of Washington" for several years
and was arrested here once some
time ago, Mr. Mckee said His rec
ord does not show the nature nor
the disposition of the Washington
arrest.
G Men and Police Cooperate.
Close cooperation between F. B.
I, agents, washington detectives
and Maryland police was responsible
for the arrest. Mr.. Mckee pointed
out. He said that one piece of in
formation developed by local police
fitted in with another clue uncov-
cred by the F. B. I. and led directly
to Sanders apprehension.
The suspect is held for violation
of the Federal bank robbery act.
and his alleged crime became the
concern of the F.. B. I. because the
bank participated in Federal Deposit
Insurance
Sanders has been arrested 10 times
since 1882 for violations. including
burglary, bootlegging. automobile
theft and Jail breaking. He has
received sentences on two occasions
in Federal courts and once served
l8 months in Atlanta Penitentiary
Last year, he served time on a
Georgia chain gang.
The loot was the largest amount
ever obtained in robbery in this
area, according to police records. 1t
included a $4,000 pay roll of the
Washington Suburban Sanitary
Commission.
The two messengers. Jack Dam
eron, II, and Van Stauber, 18, left
the bank in an automobile at about
8:45 am. September 25, en- route
to the commission Offices, only five
blacks away. Stauber was driving
When they had proceeded a short
distance, a small, black sedan drove
into their path and two men jumped
out. One carried shotgun and the
other held a pistol. A third man
remained in the car.
The satchel containing the pay roll
was snatched from the. lap Of DAM
eron and the keys to the messengers
car were taken. As the robbers
hurried to their waiting automobile,
their companion called out:
Look in the back seat
They did and found another
satchel which held about $4,000
;in cash and two non-negotlab1
checks totaling $4,000. ~s

ships. as proposed by the House
could not of itself be considered "as
taking us into the war said Sena-
tor Wheeler, but if we are going
to send the ships armed into danger
zones and to the ports OF England,
it is inevitable, it seems to me, to
lead to war"
Nevertheless. Senator Vandenberg
Republican of Michigan predicted
in the opening speech against the
bill yesterday afternoon that II mer-
chant ships are sent through the
combat zones to deliver lease-lend
goods they will soon be followed by
the first transport taking the sec
ond A. E. F. to Europe"
Senator Vandenberg relied on the
events of the first World War tc
sustain his point that arning mer-
chant ships increases their danger
of attack. Events to date in this
war do not prove the Neutrality Act
a failure. he said. and if Hitler car
ries on a deliberate and sustained
attack on unarmed American ship
ping the pending bill would not be
an adequate answer.
Recalling that 26 American ships
had been sunk, with the loss OF
many American lives, before this
country entered the first war, Sen
ator Vandenberg contended only
four ships carrying the American
flag have been attacked in this war
with no loss of life.
Il agree" he said that the rec
ord of 19l5-1917 called for war.
agree it would call for war again if
the Axis in 194l makes the horrible
mistake of even approXimating that
record again
Would Offer Alternative
In conclusion, the Michigan Sem
ator said that, instead of 'edging
into the war, he would prefer to
present to the Axis powers the
alternative of making peace. with
the understanding that if they did
not this country would go in.
He predicted that if the United
States does enter the war it will
win. even if it be a pyric victory
In stressing the danger of arming
merchant ships. Senator Vanden-
berg said the United States has 1,20C
merchant ships, of which 500 are in
overseas trade. Under the pending
bill, he argued. it will take fou1
months to arm 200 of them.
The cold, hard fact is" he con-
tinued, that after the first one is
armed all l,200 lose the immunity
of unarmed ships. because no SUBJ
marine can get close enough to de.
ter1nine the status of a ship. ano
1000 of the ships will be sent tc
sea without either the guns or the
protection of immunity"

VICHY. Unoccupied France. Oct.
28.-French and German authorities
worked closely together today to
hunt down six assassins Of two Ger
man officers at Nantes and Bor-
deaux for which 100 hostages al
ready have died.
The hunt was spurred by the in
definite reprieve granted last night
for another 100 hostages. the first
so of whom were scheduled to die
at dawn today for the unsolved kill
ings of 1t. Col. Paul Friedrich Hotz,
NaZi commandant at Nantes, and
DR.. Hans Gottfriend Reimers. Ger
man military lawyer at Bordeaux.
Although the Germans said exc
cution OF the second 100 was merely
put off, observers believed the shoot
ings never would take place.
Denounced Reprisals.
The reprieve was granted after
President Roosevelt and Prime Min
lister Churchill had joined in eXcori-
ating the reprisal measures. and
Gen. Charles de Gaulle, Free French
leader, had called on all Frenchmen
TO observe a flve-minute general
strike next Friday in protest.
The German promise to free war
prisoners whose close relatives give
information of assistance in track
ing down the attackers also pointed
up the hunt.
The period since the shooting of
the Nantes commandant week ago
yesterday was marked by feverish
parleys between the German author
tiles and the Vichy cabinet. and
French orders for stern measures
against persons failing to denounce
terrorists.
1t also was marked by a report
neither confirmed nor denied, that
Marshal Petain was ready to offer
himself as a hostage. but was dis
suaded from doing so at an all
night cabinet council.
Volunteer to Take Place.
II was learned yesterday that
Marshal Petain had received dozen
kilograms from Frenchmen volun-
teering TO take his place as hostage.

of the reprieve said:
