titled "a Drunken Preacher" that

GIVE HEART DISEASE TO APES

The riddle of what causes one kind of heart disease, may be on the way to solution as the result of discovery made at the AAF Regional and Convalescent Hos pital at Miami Beach by It. Col. F. C. Helwig and Capt. E. C. H. Schmidt of the Army Medical Corps.
 They have isolated a substance capable of causing in apes, mice, rabbits and guinea pigs disease with heart damage "strikingly similar" to that of the acute myo- carditis of unknown origin which sometimes attacks human beings.
 The substance, possibly a virus, was obtained from the chest fluid and spleen of a chimpanzee that died suddenly at the Anthropoid Ape Foundation. A gibbon at the

When the Army decides to move 8 division, or two or three, from
The Waterbury Democrat., 1945-03-12

Arizona, let's say, to an East Coast port, 1t doesn't tell the world in advance. It doesn't even tell the Pullman company until the last moment. So the use of sleepers for either troop or civilian trans portation no longer can be sched- uled well in advance. Cars must be allocated swiftly to the areas where they will be needed, and spares spotted around to care for sudden emergencis.
 At the height of the last Christ mas rush, when civilian efforts to get berths were at peak, the Army suddenly called for 1879 cars-almost a fourth of the total pool-to move some troops. These had to be provided on short notice, whatever else might not be done.
 Another reason why you may get turned down for berth, and then learn about numerous emp ties on the same train, is illus trated by an incident last year when 8 Chicago business man and his attorney changed their minds about making trip east. They had reservations on a crack train, but did not turn them in before the train left. Then they asked for refund and were refused They appealed to the Interstate Commerce Commission, which up- held the wartime tariff prohibi- tion against refunds on tickets not cancelled a reasonable time before the train leaves.
 57 EMPTIES
 Investigation shower that on that one train, that one night, with three extra Sleepers attached and a long list of disappointed applicants, there were 57 empty berths and rooms because 57 thoughtless persons had changed their minds about travelling and had not turned in their tickets in time to permit resale.
 Parlor car seats have been tight for somewhat different reasons They are not used much for or- ganized troop movements. But demand has increased greatly with the very heavy travel of gov- ernment officials and business men
