A theory that certain sub
stances. especially tobacco, might
be an "allergic" cause Of some
cases of heart or circulation abb
normalities, including coronary
artery disease, was suggested to-
day by a New York doctor.
DR.. Joseph Harkavy said there
is suggestive evidence that some
people may be born with or ac-
quire 'theart allergy" to certain
things in the same way that in
certain other people the lungs or
the skin might react allergically
to certain substances or con-
ditions.
He said there is suggestive
evidence that some people may
have an inherited sensitivity of
the heart to such things as to-
bacco, certain drugs. foods,
chemicals or pollen-or acquire
it through long exposure. And
the evidence further suggests, he
said. that such allergic condi-
tons can cause irregular heart
beats, extra heart beats or even
disease of the coronary arteries.
He told the second World
Congress of Cardiology that the
evidence comes from Cd animal
studies; ca studies of the his
tories of heart ailment patients
with respect to their exposure to
such substances: and CD skin
tests.
The doctor also said that "the
clinical course in patients who
refuse to stop smoking or In

separated from service.
The men now in the division,
along with equipment will be
transferred to the I'd Division
and the change in designation
will not involve any change or
move of troops at Fort Lewis.
The Army said it was return
ing the numerical designation
and colors of the 44th Division
to State control in conformity
with the law which requires
that National Guard designa-
tions and colors be returned to
the States not more than five
years after liberalization.
Eight National Guard infantry
divisions were called into active
service during the Korea War.
Six have been returned to State
control. The 47th Infantry
Division of Minnesota and North
Dakota remains on active duty.
But the Army said the return
of numerical designation and
colors of the 47th to the control

plated early next year.

its assignment to the Far East

Professional Yeggs
Busy Here, Judge
Tells Grand Jury
Star staf Photo by Paul schmick.

Federal Judge James r. Kirk
land yesterday told a grand jury
that the presence Of professional
yeggmen awho have come into
the District within the last few
months" is very disturbing to
him.
The remarks were made as he
swore in a new grand jury in the
U. S. District Court for the Dis
trict of Columbia.
Addressing the grand Jury,
Judge Kirkland said:
"Now there are several mat
ters which have come into our
District which are apparently
products of recent years. One of
them that is very disturbing to
the court is the presence of pro-
fessional yeggmen who have
come into the District within
the last few months and have
perpetrated professional safe
blowing jobs"
Sentences Effective.
Judge Kirkland recalled that,
years ago, the late Justice Wen
dali P. Stafford, always gave "a
professional yegg the full limit
of the law" in sentencing either
on a jury conviction or a guilty
plea.
Judge Kirkland added that,
as a result of the heavy SEN
tences, he did not recall a PRO
fessional yegg job being pulled
in the District" while he was
serving years ago as a prosecu-
tor in the United States At
torney'S Office.
The late Justice Stafford, who
died in 1858, served for many
years as a justice Of the old Dis
trict Supreme Court, the prede-
cessor of the present United
States District Court.
Judge Kirkland further told
the grand jury that sit is dis
tressing to read in the public
press that one of our downtown
stores was burglariZed and
professionals using tools of the
trade, acetylene torches and
other devices were able to take
some $4,000"
I'VE have had a number of
those cases." continued Judge
Kirkland.
Professionals at Work.
"The chief of police has re-
marked in the public press just
the other night that the tech
nique employed was definitely
that of professional safe
blowers. F."
Judge Kirkland then told the
new grand jury that operations
of professional yeggs are serious
matters. He said 1t Is up to the
jurors to investigate such mat
ters and return indictments
where evidence is sufficient.

Police Witness Cites
Shonick' S Red Links
Al License Appeal
By John W. Stepp

A Metropolitan Police investi-
gator today testified the depart
ment has no interest in punish
ing" William Shonick, the Sec
ond-hand piano dealer. merely
on the strength of the fact that
he claimed the Fifth Amendment
in refusing to discuss alleged
Communist affiliations.
The statement was made by
Detective Sergt. Joe Y. Chen
nault, member Of the Special
Investigations Squad, which rec
commended denial Of Mr.. Sho-
hicks license renewal applica-,
ton.
The piano dealers appeal Is
being heard by Charles w. Hart,

of Appeals and Review of the

Department.
Called as Key Witness.
Sergt. Chenault was called
to the stand as the key
witness in the hearing. He con-
Quoted the investigation and
made the report on which his
superiors and officials of the
License Office rejected Mr..
Shonick's request to renew his
license for the third straight
year.
Mr.. Hart asked the detective
whether he gave weight to Mr..
Shonick's testimony before the
House Un-American Activities
subcommittee last July in which
the piano dealer raised the fifth
amendment when asked repeat
edly about his alleged Commu-
mist activities.
"We do not take the position
of trying to punish the appellant
because of that, Sergeant Chen
nault testified. "But that testi-
mony is part OF, the picture. It
must be given weight in deciding
on his good moral character to
hold a license"
Sergt. Chennault revealed for
the first time today several other
points which he said he took into
consideration in recommending
denial of Mr.. Shonick's license.
Heretofore, officials B have re-
vealed only the piano dealers

accusations of Mrs. Mary Stall

| The detective cited three
activities of Mr. Shonick which
aroused his suspicious:
/. The piano dealer attended
a public rally in Turner's Arena,
July 10, 1949, where Paul Robe

peared under sponsorship of the

doing so.

and the two statements were
issued late yesterday.
Judge Cockrill's release said
that, in non-support cases in
which persons are on probation
and under order to support. the
court probation officers may
discuss individual cases If it
is in the best interests Of all
concerned.
