Health for ALI

We don't think much about
breathing. Our lungs usually
work for us without conscious
orders from the brain. 1t is
only when breathing becomes diff
ficult that we stop to think of the
complicated and delicate struc-
ture on which we depend for life
itself.
So delicate is the fabric that
the pressure of a small amount
of air can cause a lung to col
lapse. The lung cavity is pro-
tected by the strong bony cage
of the ribs, but sometimes a dis
ease such as tuberculosis, a it's
sue defect, or a wound will allow
air, blood, or pus to get into the
space around the lung and force
it to collapse.
Even when one lung is partly
or totally collapsed, a person can
get on reasonably well with the
other, In treating tuberculosis, a
lung is sometimes purposely col
lapsed to allow it to rest, and
so give the diseased parts
chance to heal.
For many years lung collapse,
either temporary by forcing air
into the lung cavity, or perma-
nent by removing part of the
ribs, was the only safe surgical
treatment of TB. Today, with
the use of anti-tuberculosis drugs,
the surgeon can often cut out dis
eased parts of the lung.
However, there are cases where
this cannot be done and collapse
can be more successful. In a
new type of operation, collapse
is maintained by putting into the
chest cavity some material such
as plastic balls.
Usually a collapsed lung will
re-expand slowly as the air about
it is absorbed, and normal func-
ton will be restored. But pres
sure over a long period may re-
suit in thickened, Scared men,
brane around the lung, perma-
nently constructing it. During
World War II an operation was
developed to free the lung of
this scar tissue. Now a lung that
has been totally collapsed for 20
or more years can sometimes be
re-eXpanded.

Atlanta, Georgia, in a Sunday edi-
torial condemned the staying as a
"lynch-murder."
Commenting on the incident, the
editorial in the Atlanta Constitution
said: ''The body of 14-year-old
Negro boy has been taken from a
river near Greenwood, Miss. He
had been shot. The weighted body
had then been thrown into the
river.

across the nation, Roy Wilkin, Ex-
exutive Secretary Of the National

statement blasting the entire state

The Wilkins statements said, "It
would appear from this lynching
that che state of Mississippi has
decided to maintain white supre-

killers of the boy felt free to lynch
him because there is in the entire

since the drive for Indignation de-
scribed by some Of the oldest and

bad for Negroes as it was during
the Reconstruction era, faced with
the threat of total disfranchise-

with threat of economic sanctions
and intimidation from the report
ed spread of the Ku Klux Khan,
and the White Citizens Councils,

prevent Negroes voting at any
cost, were said to have taken heart
from the message of Gov. White to
the NAACP following the bitter
blast from Roy Wilkins.
In telegram to the New York
office of the NAACP, Governor
White said: parties charged with
the murder are in Jail. l have every
reason to believe the court will do
it's duty in prosecution. MISSISSIPPI
pi does not condone such conduct"
Following the telegram to the
NACP the Governor ordered full
scale investigation of the Staying
which had already led to the ar
rest of two white men, Roy Bryant,
the husband of the woman at
whom the boy made the "wolf-
whistle" and ]. w. Milan, his half
brother.
Authorities in two counties were
preparing to make charges against
the two men. In Leflore County
where the boy was taken from his
uncle's home they faced a charge
of kidnapping. The body having
been found inside Tallahatchie
County there was some thought
that the boy had been beaten and
shot on the Tallahatchie River
bridge before being weighted and
thrown into the river, thus giving
the county jurisdiction in the MUIR

Satellite Issue Out in Big Four Talks, Says Pravda

LONDON, R-Pravda said Sat urday that President Eisenhower's statement making free determina- tion in the Soviet satellites a con- ditiOn of world peace was in error. But it said his optimism about the forthcoming Big Four conference was welcomed by the Soviet peo- pie.
 An editorial in the Soviet Com munist Party newspaper, broad cast by Moscow radio, said the Presidents remarks at his news conference last Wednesday on the need to ease international tension and end the cold war were re- ceived with satisfaction in Russia.
 But it added that whether Els enhower wanted it or not, his statement about the peoples democracies" looks like encour- agement of the course Of lnterfer- ence from the outside in the inter nal affairs of these states" This statement, it said, runs counter to his just and valuable proposal to renounce cold war and Ito have recourse to peaceful, not provoca- tive methods"
 The President told the confer ence he was more optimistic than two months ago that the summit meeting this month in Geneva would ease tensions. But he eau toned against expecting too much and said there would be no real peace in the world until the Soviet satellite countries can determine their own governments of their own free will.
