Askins, who is colored, is ac-
cused of numbering Ruth Nc
Donald, 81, colored, by giving her
a drink of whisky containing
poison on December 28, 1888.
The trial began last Monday be-

Yesterday, Mr.. FIlannery
argued to the jury of 10 men

DR.. A. C. Ivy, head of the de-

the University of Illinois, and a
founder of the National Society
for Medical Research, testified
at the Nuremberg trials against
the research methods used by
the Nazi physicians. He declared
that nothing of value came from
the experiments which he de-
scribed as cruel, needless and un-
justified.
Some m e dical researchers,
while condemning the Nazl
methods, do not share DR.. Clos

use of any data derived from
them, if it should Mapped to be
useful.

Doctors Debate Use Of Data

sharp reply from DR.. Harold o.
Closson, Of Glen Burnie, Md.
who is a practicing physician
and medical researcher
"I question seriously whether
it is right for us to use any
information obtained under
such circumstances" says Dr..
Closson. Using such data and
referring to such acts as ex-
periments could be an impli-
cation of approval, whereas only
strong condemnation is justi-
fed. Then, too. one wonders If
data obtained by physicians
capable of carrying out such in
vestigations, so directly opposed
to the fundamental precepts OF
m e dica practice, could be
trusted"
Death Primarily Cardiac.
But DR.. Nestor contends that
fairly complete physiological
studies were performed, and
data derived from these expert
ments indicated that death re-
sulting from cooling is primar-
ily a cardiac death"
That battling post-rescue col
lapse and death which frequently
claims victims of air and sea
disasters in icy water was found
by the Germans to be "the re-
suit of the so-called afterdrop
in temperature with resulting
cardiac arrest that occurred
when the victims were removed
from the cold water" he added.
The Germans contended the
most effective method of resusci-
tation was determined to be i'm
mersion in hot water at about
ITO degrees Fahrenheit, which
prevented the lethal afterdrop
and warmed the patient quickly,

Should American doctors use
any data which Nazi physicians
gathered in the cruel experiment
tation on human beings which
has been universally condemned?
This question is posing a major
problem in ethics for United
States medical men, with opinion
sharply divided on the issue.
DR.. John o. Nestor, a medical
researcher here, started the de-
bate among physicians and SCI
entists by asking what became
of "the thousands Of tons OF
documents that arrived in the
United States" from Germany
after World War II. DR.. Nestor
is studying the effects and
treatment of shock due to ex-
posure to cold.
He maintains that "these doc
uments contained extremely val
liable data IN certain ileluS VI

were more advanced than we,

He referred specifically to the
Nazi experiments in August. 1912
on the effects of cooling on hui
man beings in an effort to de-
yelop more effective means OF
protecting sailors and ayiators
who were immersed in cold water
for long periods of time. More
than 400 experiments were per-
formed on 300 prisoners in the
notorious Dachau concentration
camp. according to DR.. Nestor

This Congress has estab-

we should provide increased

Lane declared. Some people
are still excluded from cover

those eligible resemble juven-
lie allowances" he said.
Among other things. Lane
wants to reGuce to eligibility

High cost of living prices

Pointing out that Congress
had justihably increased the

and government employees. he
believes it would be consistent
to provide increased benefits
for those entitled to social
security payments.
In his address to Congress
Lane said;
How anyone can oppose the
development of the Old Age
Survivors Insurance program
is beyond understanding.
1T is based on taxes paid
for this purpose by employers
and employees.
1t is self-supporting.
Like an automatic savings
plan, building up a trust fund
to support people during old
age.
Sound, conservative, and
eminently respectable in
contrast with some of the
sorry financial adventures of

Social Security is now 10
years old.

majority.
But We have not permitted
it to grow up.
Some people are still ex-
cluded from coyerage,
And the benefits resemble
a juvenile allowance rather
than ~et:rement pay for the
aged who have completed
lifetime of work.
There is no doubt in my
mind that the legislation
which gave birth to Social
Security will be recognized as
one of the outstanding ac-
compliShments of the Congress
during the whole of the goth
century.
While our hearts respond

EISENHOWER'S CHALLENGE
TO RUSSIA

During this dismal incident
of roaring guns in Korea. a
COP administration came into
the picture with President
Dwight D. Eisenhower at the
wheel. His acute military wis
dom turned the tide. n armis-
tice was signed with both sides
above and below the 38th
parallel, which at present is
the line of demarcation, now
in vogue at Korea.
This police action was ear
marked as being Waged by
the United Nations Organi-
cation. Soviet Russia, one of
its members never admitted
unfolding Red China as an
aggreSsor in the Korea police
action. Russia has constantly
clamored that Red China be
admitted as a member of the
United Nations and that Ma
tionalst China be deposed as
member Of the organization
with the Island of Fomosa
coded to Red China as con-
tiguous territory to China as
a whole.
