Horror of GriIIinqs

Suddenly, in the dead of night,
men and women guards descend
upon a cell, with strong lights
which blind prisoners accustomed
to perpetual semi-darkness. The
prisoners-there are three to a
cell-are required to strip naked
and stand with faces to the wall
while guards go through the cell.
But this is not the worst. The
most dreaded occurrence is the
sudden questioning.
De Mohr went through three in
terrogations. Each lasted for
nights on end, sometimes for
weeks, without letup. Here is how
it went:
At 10 pm, all prisoners were
required to lie on their bunkS for
the night. Suddenly at II pm,
guards would swoop down. The
unlucky prisoner was taken off to
the prison office for Interrogation.
How Questioning Goes
The first interrogation establish
es the biography. Where were you
born? What were the names OF
your father, your mother, your
relatives? What were your
fathers political views at tho
time? What did your parents talk
about in those days? What did
your family read? What did THEN
friends read and say? What were
the names and addresses of al
your friends and relatives from
the time of your childhood?
Many Of the questions were
ludicrous and impossible to an
swer, but the reply Il don't re-
member" is not accepted. Thi:
questioning can go on for many
days. But it is not yet the rea
thing.
For De Mohr the real thinl
came when the questioning got in
to the period of his service as
diplomat in Sofia, where he wa
press attache. The Russians &c
manded a full list of his inform
ants, a full list of every person
he knew in Bulgaria, full de
scription of all his spying &C
tivities. Everybody questioned il
considered a spy.
Each day at dawn he was takel
back to his cell. During the da.
he is forbidden to sleep. He was

Charge Tree airy
Violation

MOSCOW CAP) - The Soviet
Union has charged formally that
Trans acceptance Of American
military aid violates the 1921
Soviete-Iranian treaty admitting
Russian troops to Iran if that
country's soil is used by foreign
military forces hostile to the
SOViets.
The Kremlin made its protest in
a note delivered by Foreign Min
lister Andrei Y. Vishinsky to the
Iranian ambassador here. 1t ac-
cused Iran, Russian neighbor on
the south, of cooperating with the
u. S. government in the imple-
mentation of the latter's aggres-
sive plans against the Soviet
Union"
Observers here consider it like
ly that, because of the Russian
protest, Iran will reconsider her
acceptance Of the u. S. aid and,
if she dos not. The Soviets will
follow up with another strong pro-
test.
The American aid to Iran was
cut off last January when Iran
refused to sign an agreement
pledging to help increase "the de-
fcnsive strength of the free world." F"
The pledge is required of those
getting such aid under the u. S.
Mutual Security Act.
American military aid to Iran
was ordered resumed month ago
after an exchange of notes be-
tween the u. S. and Iranian gov
ernments which the State Depart
ment said met the requirements
set by congress.

Admiral Pueh Tells
Pharmacists Of Fight
I0n Manchurian Fever

/ A strange disease which has
rippled through the ranks oil
American soldiers in Korea, was|
described to members of the
American Pharmaceutical Asso-l
citation last night.
The association celebrated its
Tooth anniversary in the Hotel
Statler and heard Rear Admiral
Lamont Pugh, surgeon general Of
the Navy, speak of a disease which,
has baff1ed medical men in Korea.
/ Admiral Pugh said "ManchurianI
fever" is both a diagnostic and
therapeutic challenge of the FIRST
magnitude"
Since the start of the Korean
conflict 1879 cases Of the malady
have been reported. Ninety men
have died. Admiral Pugh said
that the disease does not respond
to drugs, but those who survive
recover completely.
The admiral said the Japanese
were the first to study the sick
ness as far back as 1885. At that
time 1t was thought to have been
transmitted by mite. This
theory has not been found to be
valid.
Tendency to Bleed.
Those suffering from Manchu-
rian fever have waves of high
temperature and at some points
high blood pressure. The sur
geon general said there is a
marked tendency for the patient
to bleed when a tourniquet is ap-
piled or an injection made.
Also typed "hemorrhagic fever"
the malady is spent after two to
six weeks. Admiral Pugh said the
patient returns to battle in most
cases after that time.
1 He said an Army hospital had
been set up in Korea devoted solely
to the treatment and research of
Manchurian fever.
Admiral Pugh's talk pointed UP
the work pharmacists are doing
in the war effort. He said many
pharmacists are serving in assign
ments on the medical front and
said research was in progress on
drugs which will aid in the de-
tense against atomic. biological
and chemical warfare.
Socialized Medicine Hit.
Socialized medicine got a thor
ough going over by president of
a drug manufacturing firm who
also spoke to the pharmacists.
DIR. Theodore c. Klumpp, pres
ident of Winthrop-Stern, Inc.
said socialized medicine is not a
"one-day wonder drug, but Just
another fake cancer cure"
Let us not yield to the entice-
ments Of foreign quack remedies
that have failed in every country
in which they have been tried"
DR.. Klumpp said.
why does any one want to
change the basic systems under
which he have operated SO we'll in
the past? The answer is, believe,
that the indictments are men on
horseback. They think that with
further governmental control
we can wipe out the remaining
diseases more swiftly than we
can under the present system"
Others Speak.
The anniversary celebration was
carried to IS cities and branch
organizations Of the association
Through q closed telephone circuit.
Other speakers were r. Q.

lean Pharmaceutical Association,

offset losses sustained by the

years when the Individual
Town-operated plants were
serving the Towns, the Virgin
Islands Corporation will add a
surcharge Of 1919 to the net
monthly bills Of consumers in
both Towns only, which will
be collected and paid into the
Municipal Treasury. Just as
soon as the total loss is repaid,
this surcharge will be discon-
tinued. It is only fitting and
proper to state that even with
this 1919 surcharge on the
Town consumers bills, the
new rates will reflect a con-
siderable reduction over the
present Town rates.

SPOTLIGHT ON CHICAGO


H REPUBLICAN NATIONAL Convention opened in.
Chicago yesterday all eyes and ears are on that spot and the
goings on there. Nor should the Virgin Islands be any excep-
ton for what happens in Chicago might mean many changes
not only to us but upon world conditions which will eventu-
ally affect us more seriously than We can imagine.
IT'S NOW common knowledge thatthe Taft and Eisen-
hover camps are wide apart on both foreign policies and
domestic issues. Senator Taft, Mr. Republican himself is the
epitome of the Old Guard philosophy, the least Of which is
not isolationism. In all his utterances Senator Taft has made
it perfectlyclear that he will have little or nothing to do with
a global policy; that a strong air force is about all that is ne
cessary to contain communism; that civil rights belong
entirely with the States, and furthermore he has already said
that if elected he will appoint s~outherners to his cabinet The
New York Times has come out clearly to the effect that if
nominated Taft cannot win.
GENERAL EISENHOWER on the other hand would
give greater thought to a global policy, to containing com
munism in Europe itself, for example by giving the fullest
support to NATO. However, ~typicaly Republican, the Cen
eraI has already said that such matters as civil rights must be
handled entirely by the States, which brought a quick request
from Walter White of the for Qualification, and apps
sible change Of attitude. AS yet nothing further has come.
AT THIS DISTANCE the Virgin Islands can only wait
and see. OF course conditions have changed since Republican
President Hoover decided that these Islands were Uncle
Sans @~poorhouse, and Republican administration today
might take a more liberal attitude, yet there is the question
which always accompanies uncertainty
CHICAGO DURING this week can hold the key to much
that he future holds. America cannot afford to Withdraw
within the misconceived so-called relative security, and watch
the rest Of the world go BY. There is no such thing any more.
Not only IS the party victory important but the candidate
presentedy By that party, and that s why all eyes are glued
to Chicago.
