Benito Virtually German Prisoner

London, Jan. 31--(UP)-Reliable Italian sources said today that the Germans are keeping Benito Mus solini virtually a prisoner because he has gone Communist" and his army has been a complete failure.
 The former Italian leader was re- ported kept in seclusion on his Lake Garda estate near Milan while Ger man occupation forces run both the military and political duties of his puppet government in North Italy.

but they last only short
period of time, and the third
stage, in which the redness de-
velops, does not occur. During
this third stage there Is often
pain and burning, and these
symptoms are prevented by the
operation on the sympathetic
nerves.
There are other diseases. such
as acrocyanosis, which produce
symptoms similar to those ap-
pearing in Raynaud's disease.
In patients who have had in
fantile paralysis. blood vessel
spasms may develop. Such pa
tients apparently are benefited
by sympathectomy.
Old people, with hardening OF
the arteries, may suffer from
burning OF the hands and feet.
In such cases, syrnpathectomy
may give temporarily relief but
will not produce a cure.
II Is important that Ray
naud's disease should be
diagnosed as early as possible,
since the sooner treatment is
carried out the better will be
the results.
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
p. R.-My brother seems 10
have some sort Of attacks that
start from his stomach and
travel up to his heart. During
each attack he gets pale and
has a chill. What could cause
this?
Answer-It is not clear just
what is causing the attacks
your brother is having. They
may be due to some condition
affecting the stomach, such As
ulcers. They may be due 10
gallbladder disease or some
type OF heart disturbance. He
is in need of a careful and COM
plete examination by a physi-
clan so that the cause of the
trouble may he found and
proper treatment carried out.

ter was not thoroughly familiar
with the workings of army
emergency relief-an organiza-
tion designed to extend emer-
gency financial assistance to
servicemen and their dependents
to help pay parts of doctors
bills, hospital bills and similar
emergencies Of a homecoming
nature. Army emergency relief
may depending upon the cir
cumstances make loan or
grant to assist dependent men,
bers of a serviceman's family In
situation similar TO yours.
Since the Red Cross usually in
vestigates the worthiness of an
application for army emergency
relief, they should be able to
assist you in applying for this
financial assistance. However,
you may apply directly TO A. f.
r., care of the nearest army
post, camp or installation.
