Charleston Will
Spray DOT Over
City Next Week

CHARLESTON, S. c., June %
R-A fog of DOT will be sprayed
over a stable portion Of Charleston
early some morning in the first
week of July.
DR.. Leon Banov, county health
officer, said this type of spraying,
still in the experimental stage, has
been tried in other large cities
with varying results. 1t has work
ed we'll on flies in all cases, he ex-
planned, but has not been wholly
effective against mosquitoes and
other insects.
Plans are to have a spraying
machine carried through the city
on a truck moving eight to ten
miles an hour. The insecticides will
cover all exposed surfaces, includ-
ing the sides of buildings as high
as three or four stories. Ornamen-
tai shrubbery will not be harmed
by the solution.

the bush in a camp fire, and those
suffering from colds inhale the
smoke.
The drug panel is considering
Monck's reports of aboriginal
cures for the following:
TOOTHACHE: Cured by chew
ing the leaves Of the 'fire" bush.
RHEUMATISM: The "fire"
bush is converted to ash, bound
with bark to the rheumatic joint.
After "a hours, it is claimed, all
traces of rheumatism disappear.

The Medicine Man Gets A Hearing:
Science Sits Aborigine For Cane.
By BASIL
AP Newsfeatures

PERTH, Australia - West Aus.
trallan a%borigines claim they have
cured cancer and the common
cold, toothache and rheumatism
with breWs made from native
plants and busnes-and the white
man is making a thorough investi-
CATION.
Police Constable A. T. Monck,
sent on a special assignment to
report on. aboriginal treatment,
travelled thousands of miles
through the sparsely populated
state, and learned some of the
aboriginal secrets.
He was helped by an aboriginal
message stick'' given him by one
tribe as a pass" to the elders
o. all tribes, emitting him to
courtesy and cooperation.
Monck has submitted to the
West Australian Historical Society
a lengthy report, and has brought
back to Perth samples of 3S native
herbs, all with reputed curative
properties, for analysis by a gov
eminent drug panel.
The panel, which h a s warned
against public optimism, likely
will report on the results of the
analysis to the British Medical AS
ISOLATION in London.
Monck spent much of his time
Investigating a story of a seem
ingly miraculous ANGER cure of
an aged aborigine named Neeb-
rong.
In 1886, Neebrong escaped from
a hospital at Dalwallinu, 1870 miles
north of Perth, and fled 80 miles
to the small settlement of Payne's
Find. He could not talk, his tongue
was a red, raw dlscharging mass.
About one month later Neebrong
was able to make himself under
stood, and told a number of resi-
dents the doctor at Dalwal1inu had
diagnosed his complaint as can
Ger, and had said he intended to
Iemove his tongue. That was why
he fled, Neebrong said.
After treating himself FOR an
other year, Neeorcng appeared to
be in normal health. His speech
was clear, his tongue was normal
except for faint scars. In 1889
Neebrong died, presumably from
pneumonia.
That is the story Monck OBJ
tanned. Physicians have pointed
out the story of tie "cancer cure"
rests on the accuracy of the dag
nosis. One member of the drug
panel told a reporter ''even i the
diagnosis was correct, Neebrong
might have been the one person
in 5000 from wnom cancer just
disappears without treatment"
.Monck said in his report to the
historical society he had located
the maroon plant with which Nee
brong is believed to have cured
his tongue.
Ozark is scraped from the
bush," Monck explained, "then
broken into lengths of three or
four inches, put in a can of rain
water. and boiled for one hour.
The liquid is then poured off,
bottled, and drunk"
The maroon bush also is regard
ed by aborigines as the best rene
oy for a common cold. Monck re-

Ask independence

BOMBAY, Jan. 27-R-The long
ing of Asiatic peoples for freedom
from foreign rule has spread to
sleepy little Goa, the Portuguese
colony that is little more than a
freckle on the map of India.
A two-Way movement for dl-
vorcement from Portugal and union
with a free, independent India has
drawn growing support from with
in and without the tiny territory
surrounded by British India ex
cept where it touches the Arabian
sea.
This movement recently brought
from the Portuguese government
the announcement that Goa would
be granted a new political status
Little is known here as to what
kind of regime the Portuguese
government contemplates for Goa
or when it would be effective, but
government statements have SAID
the people would have a voice in
shaping it.
Goa Nationalist, however, greet
ed the announcement suspiciously
protesting to e in it a propaganda
device through which Portugal
hopes to gain admittance to the
United Nations by a demonstration
of a new deal for the colony.
A tight censorship cloaks what
goes on in Goa. Press dispatches
are subject to censorship, and Goa
newspapers, it is reported. are
not allowed to publish until the
censor has seen the complete text
of the editions.
1t is known, however, that the
Goa National Congress formed a
fighting committee to stage and
direct sitdown demonstrations
against foreign rule and in behalf
of civil liberties. The Goa govern
ment has confirmed that at leas.
four persons have been deported
and others arrested in connection
with political demonstrations.
Indian Nationalist who demand
the union of Goa and Free India
have been assisting the Goa Ma.
tionalists with finances and propa.
ganda in attempts to impose a
voluntary economic boycott by In
dian business against the Portu-
guese colony.
Descriptions Of this boycott as a
blockade, however, are far from
accurate, and much trade con
tinues across the land frontier The
ancient smuggling trade flourishes
and there is no interference in
Goa's shipping.
The Goa government recently an
nounced a SIS, DOC, 900 to $40. 900. 900
program to modernize the country
and stimulate prosperity as a
measure to keep the people con-
tented.
With a population of 900, 900 and
an area of 1887 square miles. Goa
has been Portuguese since it's con
quest by Albuquerque in 1910.
But still only about one-third OF
its area is cultivated, and its ST.
mile railway connecting with the
Indian railroads passes through
miles OF jungle where monkeys
swing across the right of wav ana
tigers and elephants may be seen
from the train windows. Salt
works and manganese mines are
the chief industries.
Mormugoa, the colony's principal
seaport, is an important shipping
center for peanuts, cashew nuts.
teakwood and other products from
South Central India. The capital.
NoVagoa, situated on an island
three miles out in Goa ha>bo~, is
a sleepy old-world city.

that something is most unusual.
If you happen to drive a new
glistening white golfball down the
fairway, don't be surprised If a
crow suddenly swoops down from
nowhere, pounces upon the ball,
and attempts to make a take-off
with it in his clutches. They say
that if you holler loud enough and
swing the club at him. he usually
drops his prize and flies away as
detected as a crow could be. But
if you don't advance quick enough,
he completes his take-off, your
