Is il a serious ailment? Is it

is certainly a serious ailment.
1t can come from tubercu-

infection OF the bronchial tubes
or the lungs.

As EXAMPLES Of nodules
- which are evidences of
systemic disease. probably h @
best examples are the So-called
rheumatic nodules which occur
in a very large proportion Of
cases Of acute inhammatory
rheumatism and, in fact, may
be the only evidences of the
disease.
In other words. the nodules
may appear without JOINT or
heart changes.
They occur over the front Of
the forearm. along the lie of the
tendons or Just urter the skin
and are usually red and painful.
They also may appear over
the shin where, again, they are
Just under the skin and are red

They are called Heberden's
nodes, although all that Doctor
Heberden said about them $50
years ago was:
What are these little nodes
that appear at the ends OF the
fingers"
Nobody since then has been

They often are said TO be as
ISOLATED with chronic arthritiS.
but in many cases they occur
without any other Joint changes
except a slight stiffness at the
ends Of the fingers.
They are painless and need no
treatment.

The new manufacturing process,
although in use in Europe since 1916,
never before had been used in the
Americas. 1t involves production of
alcohol from waste sulphite liquor,
a by-product of the manufacture OF
sulphite pulp. The waste li1l.or
from the North American sulphite
industry previously has been dis
charged as waste.
Col. Mccormick said improvements
in the European processes which
have been developed at the Thorold
plant, would be made available to
all woodpulp manufacturers in the
United States and Canada.
Officials of the Ontario Paper Co.
said that this new source Of alcohol
might be tapped as supplemental

Goes on Tria
For Second Time
As Foreign Agent
Government Charges
Failure to Comply
With Registration Act

George Sylvester Viereck. Nazi
propaganda, went on trial in Dis
trict Court today for the second
time on charges of violating the
Foreign Agents Registration Act.
The defendant, whose first con-
viction was reversed by the Su-
preme Court in March, pleaded not
guilty to all counts alleging he
failed to register as an agent of the
German Reich and that he failed
to supply the State Department with
a full statement of his activities.
A jury of five women and seven
men, who will hear the case with
Justice Bolitha j. Laws, was en-
paneled shortly after noon.
Viereck, who lives in New York
City, has been free on bond since
March S, four days after the Su-
preme Court reversed the first Dis
trict Court conviction in February,
1912, of failing to furnish certain
information on registering under
the act.
The Government contends that
Viereck failed to disclose he was a
Nazi agent on filing supplemental
registrations in April and October Of
1910, and again in April of 1941,
and that on the same dates he
failed to give comprehensive
statement of his activities.
Representing the defendant. on
order Of the court, are Leo A. Rover,
former United States attorney for
the District, and John j. Wilson,
former assistant United States at
torney.
Prosecuting the case are George
A. McNulty and Albert Aren't, spe-
cial assistants to the Attorney Cen
eral, and Bernard Margolius, assist
ant United States attorney.

Chinese EncircIe jap
Base al 0wchihkow
With U. 5. Air Support
Spokesman Says Enemy
Lost Third of 100000
Men in Yon9tze Fight
BY the Associated Press,

By the Associated Press.
CHUNGKING, June 1s.-Chinese
troops, credited with killing or
wounding 10000 Japanese in push
ing the invaders back from the
Human area, were reported today
to have completed the encirclement
of Owchihkow. 80 miles southeast OF
the japanese base at Ichang.
Owchihkow is one of the last i'm
portant Japanese-held strongholds
west Of Yochow and south Of the
Yangtze.
American planes, which bombed
the city Tuesday in support Of
ground forces, further paved the
way for the success of the ground
action, dispatches from the front
said.
Chinese headquarters reported
that a japanese three-columned
drive, started last Monday against
Chinese positions near the coastal
port of Swatow in Kwangtung prov
ince, had been intercepted" An
enemy column which began moving
in Yunnan province on June was
reported to have been halted.
A Chinese Army spokesman an
nounced that the Japanese threw
an army of 100000 into the 4O-day
battle of the Yangtze Valley above
and below Ichang and added LESS
than two-thirds of the entire jap
anese force managed to escape from
the Chinese trap"
The army spokesman said Chinese
troops also were checking an Of
fensive begun by japanese troops
west of the Salween River, in
Yunan Province, adjoining the
Burma border.
Both Chinese and American air.
men were credited with effective
support in turning the japanese
back in the Yangtze basin.
Gen. Joseph w. Stilwell's head
quarters announced yesterday that
American planes raided warehouses
at Owchihkow Tuesday and that
an outnumbered American force de-
stroyed six japanese planes and
probably destroyed three others in a
battle Monday southwest Of Nam
chang.
One Chinese force now is fighting
on the outskirts of OWchihkow and
other Chinese units have struck east
of that city to hamper Japanese
communications on the Canton
Hankow railway, Chinese headquar-
ters said.
Chinese sources reported that two
japanese marine surveyors were
captured by Chinese authorities
June 10 as they sought sites on the
coast of Fukien Province for the
construction Of drydocks to repair
seagoing craft.
1t was presumed they were oper-
ating in disguise. spotting sites
where the Japanese could land
troops and occupy the country and
then begin building docks.
The report testified indirectly to
the activities of Allied submarines
off the China coast which. accord
ing to arrivals from Occupied China,
are causing japanese authorities
serious concern.
