that transpires between Eliza,

She is a girl to pursue wher-
ever she goes, piquantly to Prof.
Higgins bachelor quarters to
learn ladylikeness. shockingly to
Ascot where she lapses into her
own excited jargon, enchantedly
to an embassy party where she
is a dazzling triumph. Unlike
Shaw, who could feel effortlessly
aloof about it. his successors
have faced the possibility Of sex
in Eliza'S story.
The story is better for it and
so is the opportunity offered to
the Messrs. Lerner and Loewe to
say sex with music. In asserting
it. but never forcing the subject,
they sound quite like Shaw had

NEW YORK.--A long week
end which started with watching
TV on Thursday night and not
doing much else through Sum-
day again caused one to view
with alarm the entertainment
progress of the infant industry.
Things started with the big
"Eloise" spectacular which had
everybody in it from Ethel Barry
more to a pretty frightening g.
year-old. The Broadway musical
hit, High Button Shoes" was
revived with another cameraful
of stars and Maurice Evans did
Shaw's Man and Superman,
which he had done on Broadway
for couple of years. There were
other great efforts in between.
To me, the trouble with TV
is the same trouble that talking
movies had in their early days.
They think they've got to talk
too much. There's still no action
possibly not room enough for
1t. Everything except outdoor
athletics always looks cramped.
The old movies which go on later
at night are usually from the
talk-talk-talk era - case in
point was the John Barrymore
Billie Burke-Katharine Hepburn
"A Bill of enforcement" - but
after these films are through
we do get a late hour expert
ment which is fun.
These are the "old. old" films
which NBC offers. The Keystone
Hops and Larry SemOn, Mack
Sennett and Ben Turpin. There's
no talk in these. just captions.
Yet they hold up, the comedy is
sound. and the action at all times
Is fast and furious.
Maybe what TV needs is older
movies instead Of new ones.

Recent Research Advances
Bring New Hope for Hearts

for long periods-sometimes for
many years, and very often into
and beyond their normal life ex-
pectancy.
Nor do they putter these years
away as useless invalids, losing
their aims by the wayside. They
live useful, constructive and satis-
flying lives. This is because we
have come also to appreciate the
needs people have for simple
things like exercise and occupa-
ton. AS result, rehabilitation of
these patients, as well as those
who have had apopletic strokes,
has become as important as the
ordinary routine of medical man.
agement. Results of these pro-
grams, in both groups, have been
most rewarding.
In arteriosclerosis, or harden
ing of the arteries"-the disorder
which sets the stage for 'heart
attack"-there are several hopeful
facets. First, physicians and sci
entiSts are now determined to find
the cause and treat it, rather than
concerning themselves merely
with the effects of arteriosclerosis.
Secondly, active research is being
carried forward in this field, much
of it made possible by the Ameri-
can Heart Association. Many
promising clues have been de-
veloped and are now being pur-
sued.
What of apprehension or "high
blood pressure?" We can set no
D-day for the announcement of
the cure of this disorder, which
occurs in a wide variety of dis
eases, with varying modes of
treatment. Several good drugs are
now available for the manage
ment of patients with hyperten-
sion, and are now bringing relief
to many thousands of sufferers.
The most dramatic and dangerous
variety, malignant hyperion
sion," if treated early enough, can
in many cases be halted.
Perhaps from the public's point
of view the most important thing
to realize is that many patients
with high blood pressure may
never need drastic treatment.
Especially is this true of older pa
tients. So it is important not just
to have your blood pressure meas
ured, but to determine whether
the type of blood pressure you
have is of a dangerous nature re-
quiring active treatment.
Against this background, we
have every reason to be proud
of our accomplishments, and
hopeful that medical science will
achieve substantial victories in
prevention and care of the heart
diseases within the lifetime of
many of us. We must not falter
now. A great responsibility rests
on all of us to keep the scientist
at his work of saving your heart
and mine.

Nuturopoth's Plea
Against MARYLAND

BALTIMORE, April 20 (P.-
Naturopaths must qualify as
medical doctors under Maryland
law before they can charge fees
for their services, a Federal
Court opinion ruled yesterday.
The court handed down the
ruling in dismissing a complaint
brought by DR.. Kenneth C.
Hitchcock. a naturopath, who
commended the Maryland law vio-
lated his constitutional rights.
The opinion. written by Judge
Roszel c. Thomson. rejected DR..
Hitchcock'S argument that he
was deprived of his livelihood
because he could not qualify for
examination under boards estab-
lished by the Maryland Medical
Practice Act.
Naturopathy was defined as a
healing system which involves
the use of properties and prin-
clples inherent in air, sunshine,
exercise, work, sWeats. baths"
and substances naturally re-
CURED by the body.
The court said Maryland law
does not prohibit the practice of
naturopathy. but does require
persons practicing it to meet the
same requirements set for any,
