The approximately 300 residents
of this Fairfield county village were
pleased but apparently unsurpris-
ed tonight at the prospect of a ST.
500, 900 bequest for their UNCOVER
ed community center - the Wag-
nails memorial.
The smiles were evident but the
excitement was lacking and Mrs.
Mabel Stevenson, secretary ano
librarian of the center, said she
thought she knew why:
Mrs Mabel Wag1alls Jones has
always provided for the center"
she said, and it is her way of per
petuating the memorial she left
to her parents. Everyone felt she
would take care of it."
The stable bequest - four and
a half times the cost OF completing
the structure in 1925 - was grant

PRECAUTIONS
WITH GERMAN GAS
Cargo, Originally Bound
For Charleston, Goes
Into Maryland

WASHINGTON, Aug. 8. - up -
The War department assured the
public today that full precautions
have been taken to insure no one
getting hurt in the unloading Of
900 tons of leaking mustard gas
from the liberty ship Francis Lee
near the Edgewood, Md, arsenal.
Specially trained officers and
men from the chemical warfare
service at Edgewood were assign
ed to take over the vessel soon
after it entered Chesapeake bay.
Now crewless and in tow of a
War Shipping administration tug,
the vessel began its voyage at
Mobile, Ala, where IS persons,
mostly stevedores, suffered burns
during unloading and reloadlag
operations at the Theodore Naval
ammunition depot.
The gas, intended for Army
stocks, was confiscated in Germany
and shipped to this country for re-
distribution to chemical warfare
depots.
Protests by Senator Maybank
D.-S.C.) altered the War depart
ment's plan to transfer the ship
from Mobile to Charleston, S. c.,
for unloading, so the trip to Edge
wood was ordered.
The Army's latest plan for dis.
posing of the gas is to unload the
leaking drums of gas heavier
than air = in the Bush river neal
Edgewood and then dispose of i
by burning.

KENTUCKY VOTING
SAID VERY LIGHT
Rep. May Unopposed For
Democratic Nominations;
COP Active

LOUISVILLE, KY, Aug. 8 Up
- Statewide reports indicated the
smallest number of Kentuckians
in many years took part in this
Border Line" states primaries
today to choose Democratic and
Republican lineups for the Nov.
5 congressional races.
From nine Of Kentucky's 120
counties came a report of ballot
ing greater than half Of normal
and in some places observers
termed the vote the lightest in
two decades.
The polls closed at 4 p. m,
local time. Most of Kentucky is
in the central standard time belt
with the northeastern fringe in
the eastern standard time zone.
State law provides for the count
Of ballots in county seats to be-
gin at 5 p. m. or later and to be
halted at midnight. Votes not
counted up to that time will be
tabulated Monday. The state con-
tains 4, 054 precincts.
Today's comparatively small
vote was attributed in part to the
fact that four of Kentucky's eight
incumbent Democratic congress
men won denomination without
opposition.
Among them was Rep. Andrew
Jackson May, II, of Prestonsburg,
in the coal-producing seventh dis
trict. The veteran chairman Of the
House Military Affairs Committee
has been mentioned frequently in
the Mead Committees War Profits
investigation. Five Republicans
competed for their party's nod to
face May in November.

1T SOMETIMES happens that
q man accustomed to work with
high speed vibrating tools will
unconsciously drop whatever he
may have in his hand, his pipe or
tool or newspaper. He has no SEN
sation of having released his hold

Of the disorder known as dead
hand" true occupational afflic-
ton, and one which occurs in
people who work with vibrating
tools such as those used to cut and
polish metals.
Form of Raynaud's Disease
This condition would appear to
be form of Raynaud's disease in
which there is spasm of the blood
vessels, thus reducing the circula-
ton to the tissues.
According to DR.. Evelyn D.
Telford and her co-workers of
England, the continued exposure
of the tissues of the hand to the
high speed vibration causes dam
age to the blood vessels, with the
formation of scar tissue in the
blood vessels of the fingers.
The use of n blunt tool seems to
make the condition worse. If the
metals being cut or polished are
soft or heated, there is less chance
of the disturbance developing.
In dead hand" there are at
lacks which last from one to sever
al hours. Cold seems to bring on
the attacks, so that frequently
they develop as the worker leaves
the plant, or as he gets out of bed
in the morning. One or more of

| FORMER FDR VALET a
DIES AFTER ATTACK
AT HIS GEORGIA HOME

ATLANTA, Jan. 3O.-UH-Irving
McDuffie, Ga, personal valet for IL
years to the late President Roose-
welt, died here today following an
attack of acute indigestion.
His wife said he complained he
felt i'll on returning from church
last night and that he died before
the doctor arrived. Funeral serv-
ices will be held Friday.
McDuffie became Mr.. Roose-
velt's valet in 1927, before the late
president had decided to accept
the late Al Smiths plea to run for
governor of New York.
At that time Mr.. Roosevelt was
a patient at the Warm Springs, Ga,
infantile paralysis foundation. Nc
Duffie, who was a barber, suf-
fered a severe burn on his leg
which necessitated a change OF
jobs. He followed the suggestion of
contractor at work on the Warm
Springs foundation and asked Mr..
Roosevelt for a job as valet.
In 1889 McDuffie suffered a ner-
vous breakdown in Washington.
The late president then obtained
another job for him in the Treasury
department.
