clerk, the city clerk, the board
of election commissioners, and
the secretary of state to accept
the nomination papers of Cook
County Progressive candidates,
certify them, and print their
names on the Nov. 2 ballot.
The ruling, which spelled at
least temporary defeat for the
Democrats, who are waging
bitter fight to keep the PPI off
the ballot, applied only to the
county.
AS A RESULT of the decision,
PPI candidates for U. S. Repre-
sentatives, Municipal Court,
states attorney, sanitary district
trustees, county recorder of
deeds, coroner, and other Cook
County offices would appear on
the ballot.

Ohio COP bars Wallace from ballot

COLUMBUS, Ohio - Two
myths were exploded here
this week. One is that the
Mundt Bill won't hit at the
third party. The other is that
the Republicans want the third

votes from the Democrats.
Both illusions were shat

Ballot fight in
lost week here

Thousands of Wallace sup
porters throughout the state
this week were engaged in
the biggest battle of their politi-
cal careers-the fight to put the
Progressive Party on the ballot.
The battle was being waged on
many fronts. These were some
of the developments:
Q A preliminary survey indi-
Gated that $4,000 TO $4,000 sigma
lures already have been collected
in Chicago. which with the rest
of Cook County has a quota of
$4,000. The petition deadline
was just week off-June 10.
Q A court victory was won
when election officials were or
dered TO recognize the Progress
sive Party and put it on the bal
lot in Cook County. The full
significance of the ruling was
not yet clear. however.
Q Democrats led a bipartisan
campaign of intimidation. red
baiting propaganda. and decep-
lion in an effort TO stop the fast
moving petition drive.
WHILE definite figures would
not be available until the Fri
day night meeting of the county
central committee, reports from
35 of the so PPI ward commit
teemen in Chicago revealed an
enthusiastic response to the petit
ton campaign.
One ward said that it had col
lected more than half its quota.
PPI leaders emphasized the
political Importance of complet-
ing the drive by the June 10
deadline, in order to leave the
city's active workers free to as
sist in the petition drive down
state.
1T WAS NOT yet clear
whether assistance would be
needed. William Miller, state
PPI director, spent the week
touring downstate areas, begin
ming in the southern Illinois min
ing district, in order to get a
clear picture of Progressive
achievements and prospects.
Fifty downstate counties sent
word that they were actively par
ticipating in the campaign. Ac-
tivitY was expected within a
week in Is TO 20 additional
counties.
ProgresSiveS in concentrated
downstate areas, such as Peoria,
Springfield, the Quad Cities,
Rockford, and Vermilion county,
were tanning out into nearby
counties as they completed their
quotas.

THE VOTERS showed clearly
that the fantastic hammer-and-
sickle posters, which accused the
PPI of being can un-American
Red-Russian movement" were
failing dismally.
More posters were put up in
Lake County than anywhere else
in the state. But Lake County
was the first TO complete its
quota in the petition campaignI
But the posters were only part
of the general program of prop
uganda, deception, and intimida-
ton which the two old parties,
led by the Democrats, were fol-
lowing.
A veteran of the first World
War, for example, was threatened
with loss of his pension if he
dared to sign a Progressive petit
ton.

Oxygen Level May Be Clue to
Better Health, Longer Life

ST. LOUIS. - Better health and
longer life for middle-aged people
may be achieved by maintaining
the proper level of oxygen consump-
ton in the body.
Physicians, working at st. Louis
City infirmary in cooperation with
Washington university, believe old
people may be able to ward off the
so-called "old age" diseases if the
proper level is achieved.
On the basis of their study of 1000
persons, the investigators think the
ideal oxygen consuming rate occurs
in the first 10 years of life. The rate
then falls until the age of "a and re-
mains stable until age as.
Then, according to their findings,
is when the trouble begins. They
speculate that a dropping rate
of oxygen consumption indicates
threat of a degenerative disease.
When the rate begins to climb
again after age As, the doctors be-
lieve, it may be due to the body's
fight against a degenerative ailment
such as cancer or heart disease.
The psychologists - physicians
who study aging processes of the
body therefore try to maintain
oxygen consumption at the 24-year
age level. With special diets and
medical care they already have re-
''some progress"

Nazi Loot Ordered
Returned to Victims
$4,000 Properties Are Awaiting
Swindled Owners.

BERLIN.-The American military
government put into effect a law
designated to return an estimated
"a billion dollars in properties to
swindled Nazi victims.
The AMG promulgated the law
after the German legislature in the
American zone failed to enact it.
The law, known as AMG Law No.
80, calls for restitution of properties
lost through transactions under
duress, arising from discrimination
because of race, religion, national
ity, theology and political opposition
to national socialism"
Theodore H. Ball, AMG finance
chief, said his property control Of
fee was holding $4,000 properties
valued at about ga billion dollars
for return to rightful owners He
estimated between 80 and 90 per
cent of the claimants were Jews.
The official announcement said
the law applies only to the Ameri-
Fan zone and American-controlled
Bremen. 1t does not include proper
ties in Berlin, for which further
legislation is planned.
The French were reported ready
to announce a similar law and the
British were working on one. Soviet
plans were not known.
A. j. Rockwell, chief of the mill
tary government legal branch, said
the law does not cover losses sus-
tanned through bombings or bank
accounts taxed by central govern
ment laws. It does mean restoration
of real estate, businesses, works of
art and valuables which victims of
Nazi oppression lost in Germany
from January 30, 1888, to May 8,
1915. =
Rockwell said the law ~undoubted-
ly will prove unpopular to Germans
because rightful owners will be re-
turned properties no matter how
many times they have changed
hands. Thus, the person who last
bought a property-in many cases
an innocent offender-will suffer the
greatest loss.
Claimants now living outside Ger
many were requested by the mill
tary government to empower some
one within the country to handle
affairs. Final filing date for
claims will be December 81, 1948.
