Preliminary Step

Only Senate approval is required to
clear the way for an important prelim-
mary step toward Washington's goal Of
a national stadium for sports or other
events. BY passing a bill already APP
proved by the House and recommended
by the Senate District Committee, the
Senate will make 1t possible for an ex-
pert study to be made Of the feasibility
of financing a 50,00O-seat arena through
a Sc million bond issue. Until this study
. is completed. Congress will not be in a
position to commit itself on a specific
stadium proposal.
Since the bill now pending is in
tended to be merely a general au-
thorization for stadium. the Senate
committee wisely eliminated two amend
ments which the House tackled onto the
bill several weeks ago. These amend
ments relate to such details as fixing Of
interest rates on the bonds and possible
reimbursement for use of Federal land.
Such details can better be threshed out
later The immediate need is for enact
ment Of legislation which will permit

That Bio Wind

AS far as available public records
show, nobody ever accused Senator Kerr
of Oklahoma Of being without (fiscal)
brains" After all, according to his As
ISOLATED Press biography, Mr.. Kerr was
born in log cabin and he is now the
wealthiest of the multimillionaire
members Of the Senate. En- route to
earning this status of an authority on
fiscal brainS," Mr. Kerr has been a
lawyer, wholesale produce entrepre-
neur Che was once nicknamed the
sorghum saleSman"), an oil tycoon"
and a successful politician. His biog-
raphy emphasizes his dizziness at telling
"a droll story or rural joke" Inter-
estingly enough, he was once called
that big wind from Oklahoma" after
he had INDUCED in some light repartee
with the late Senator Wherry of Ne
braska. Anyway, 1t seems that Mr.. Kerr
always has been fast man with a
nifty phrase or two. So, in his close ac-
quaintance with lot of dollars, it is
not surprising that the Senator NAV

ing about others.
currently, Mr. Kerr is taking on the
whole Republican administration for
what he thinks they do not know about
money. Secretary of Treasury Hum
phrey was favored target before recent
hearings by the Senate Finance Com
mittee but the Oklahoman really "zeroed
in" on President Eisenhower when he
referred on the Senate floor to the latter
as being without fiscal brains" On and
on then for two days he dueled with
Republican Senator Capehart of Indi-
ana over whether the adjective fiscal"
should appear in the record. For diff
ferent reasons, they finally agreed it
should not and Mr.. Kerr managed to
make 1t clear that he considers his dis
tinguished colleague from Indiana like
wise short Of brains
There are some, obviously including
Senator Capehart. who think that big

Others may feel he is simply charmed
by the sound Of his own words and-to
paraphrase one Of his own stories-that
the next big windstorm to be born might
appropriately be named Hurricane

I once lived in a city where

The Clinton Case jury

A layman may become quickly
swamped in searching for the line that
divides judges right to act in contempt
cases without jury and the citizens
right to trial by jury when charged with
contempt. Amendments to the civil
rights bill seek to draw such a line,
instead OF wiping out jury trials in an
unprecedented extension of government
by injunction into a field involving
violations of criminal law.
The Clinton, Tennessee, trial, now
IN progress, offers fairly good example
OF the dangers Of abandoning trial by
jury in certain civil rights cases. Time
and again yesterday, when Judge Taylor
was ruling against defense motions for a
directed acquittal of the remaining de-
PENDANTS, he made the point that he was
not saying the testimony was sufficient
to convict, or so insufficient as to acquit.
"ThiS is for the jury to decide" he
repeated. AS judge, he ruled that there
was evidence. But whether or not the
evidence, supported by facts produced
in testimony is substantial evidence,
remains question for the jury That, of
course, is concept deeply Embedded IN
law and in the traditions of our people,
Under the civil rights bill the Clinton
trial would be taking place without a
jury. The facts constituting the evil
dence, the substance of that evidence,
would be determined by Judge Taylor,
the same judge who cited the defendants
for violating his own injunction. A great
many facts are in dispute. Only jury
should, under our theories of the admin
istration of justice, pass on them.
1t is incredible that one of the points
under such serious debate in the United
States Senate now is whether to abandon
that tradition on the contention that
some 40 million citizens of this country,
who happen to live in "the South" can
not be trusted to exercise the high
responsibility of citizenship which con-

Let us be reminded again
of the needs of our animal
and bird friends for water
during summers hot, dry
spells. They cannot stop by
refreshment stands. We can
provide the life-sustaining
water they need. Fill large
bowls or cans somewhere in
the shade for wandering dogs
or cats. especially for the
neglected. homeless ones:
also for the squirrels. Set up
bird baths in the shade and
keep them filled for feathered
friends. These should be re-
membered not only around
homes, but around business
places, city parks. and GER
tainly church grounds. AS
Psalm lxxxiv,3 mentions
swallows and sparrows nest
ing on Gods affairs. why not
bird baths outside our
churches for His birds?
To those unable to so pro-
vide. please try to keep small
children and teen-agers from
dirtying filled bird baths
or overturning little cans Of
milk or water set out by a
few plying souls for fright
ened alley cats and kits.
What is meaner than depriv-
ing a creature Of needed
food? There is no better
investment in youth than
teaching love for God and
His creatures.

party to such a program. All

pray that we or no other

In Aqoin-Out Aqoin

Nelson County Delegate Robert
Whitehead'S in-again-out-again candi-
dacy for State Attorney General of Vir-
ginia is indicative of the respect with
which Republican strength in that State
is regarded by the Democratic OPPOSE
ton. Mr.. Whitehead, leader of the anti
Byrd Democrats, threw his hat in the
ring after Howard c. Gilmer, jr, of Pu-
laski withdrew from the Byrd ticket.
Mr.. Gilmers withdrawal left the Byrd
forces without a formal nominee, al
though they proceeded to indorse State
Senator Albertis Harrison of Lawrence
vile for the post. Delegate Whitehead
assumed that the Republicans would not
nominate anyone for the attorney gen.
+ eral job, but he was wrong.
AS soon as the Republicans put up
J. Livingston Dillow of Giles County for
attorney general, the "old guard" Dem
/ ocratic forces began to bring pressure
on Mr.. Whitehead to withdraw from the
race. They pointed out that his can
didacy would split the Democratic vote
and thus enhance the chances of elect
ing a Republican attorney general. In
fact, the split could have weakened the
whole Democratic ticket. For the Dem
ocrats have reason to be watchful of the
Republican ticket, which is headed by a
proved vote-getter, State Senator Ted
Dalton of Radford. Mr.. Dalton rolled up
As per cent Of the popular vote for Gov
ernor four years ago. So the political
pot is beginning to boil merrily in Vir-
ginia. as the opposing groups build their

Arlington Politics

The Stars coverage Of Ar

lately both in amount of

Cooper found himself at a
meeting with ABC members
Ralph Raul and David L.
Krupsaw as the majority.
Raul and Krupsaw outvoted
Cooper to reject the sale Of
the courthouse and sewer
bonds at an interest rate
which they considered too
high. and benefits are still
accruing to this act Of
thoughtful. responsible gov
eminent.
The sale of the courthouse
bonds was then privately ne
gotiated, and their sale at a
lower interest rate saved the
county $4,000. Then the
sewer bonds were sold at the
same lower interest rate.
thereby saving the county
another $4,000.
AIM complained that Raul

Four New Virus Diseases Discovered

includes those responsible for
yellow fever, dengue and va
rious African jungle diseases.
Foundation doctors. working
on the yellow fever problem
have isolated two new viruses
of this group-one from
mosquitoes and another from
the blood of a mosquito
catcher who came down with
a mysterious fever. Both APP
parently are confined to
Africa at present.
1T is clear" says the re-
port. that infection with
HIT Cthe virus isolated from
the mans bloodl is very
prevalent. 1t frequently at
tacks domestic animals such
as cattle, goats. dogs and
donkeys. In all probability
it is identical with an agent
recently isolated from sheep
in the Orange Free State.
1t is apparent that the in
lection is very widespread in
South Africa and that it is of
economic Importance"
1t is believed by the Foun-
dalton doctors that a sub
group of very closely related
viruses can be separated in
the family which includes
St. Louis encephalitis. jap
anese B and West Nile en-
cephalitis and the so-called
Ilheus disease. Probably in
fectionS with these occur over
large part of the world.
Agents of Wild Animals
Hitherto it has been
thought that St. Louis en-
cephalitis was confined pri-
marily to North America,
Now it has been found by
Foundation doctors in Trim
idad.
"All these studies" says
the report. lead to the con-
cluSion that these viruses are
all primarily agents of infec-
ton in wild animals. More
and more evidence is ac-
cumulating that birds play
an important part in main
tanning infection in nature.
But the possible role of other
, animals is being continu-
ously investigated.
In California bats of vari-
Gus species are being studied.
Three strains of virus have
been isolated from the Mex
lean freetail bat. Conclusive
evidence was obtained that
at least one of these was a
new member of Group B (the
st. Louis encephalitis group.
This strain apparently is an
agent with some affinity to
st. Louis encephalitis and is
the second Group B virus to
be discovered IN North Amer
lea. 1t is not known whether
it can cause human infec-
tons"

Finding OF four new virus
diseases. all related to the
encephalitis group responsible
for various forms of brain
Inflammation, has just been
announced by the Rockefeller
Foundation.
During an epidemic Of yell
low fever in Trinidad, two
viruses were isolated from
the blood of febrile patients
which definitely were not re-
lated to yellow fever. Tests
showed that both belonged
quite clearly in one of the
two encephalitis families
which is responsible for three
kinds of diseases of horses
and for the two human NAL
aides of the East African
jungles.
The new agent was given
the name Of Mayaro virus.
after the region in Trinidad
where it was discovered. 1t
is very closely related to the
agent Of one Of the African
maladieS, the Semliki forest
virus. The same virus was
isolated from the blood of
patients during a mysterious
fever epidemic in Brazil. The
illness was of short duration
and there were no deaths.
Blamed on Rain Forest
THE infections" says the
foundation report, lin all
probability were acquired by
close contact with the ANA
zonian rain forest. Previous
studies in the Amazon valley
had shown that protective
antibodieS to the Semliki
virus were prevalent in the
blood of humans. The close
relationship between this
virus and the newly dis
covered Mayaro agent Sug-
gests that the results OBJ
tanned with the Semliki virus
were not due to infection
with this agent but to the
closely related Mayaro
virus"
A survey of the Amazon
Valley area, the report says,
shows that this virus is very
widespread throughout most
Of tropical America.
Another new virus of the
same group, now called
Chikungunya virus. has been
discovered by Foundation
workers in Southern Tan
ganyika and apparently is re-
Sponsible for a much more
serious, hitherto unidentified
disease. which occurs in cpl

have been responsible for a

Dear Sir:
do you think summer is
a good time to start reduc-
ing?
Il am getting too fat, and
read all about how fat people
run much more danger than
thin people.
so would like to get
thin, but am afraid of start
ing it now. Wouldn't it be
better to put it off until fall
or winter?
Il have started to reduce
several times. always lose a
few pounds. and always gain
them back again.
rs there any way to sta

lower figure?

Summer is a very good time
to start reducing.
In the first place, ones
appetite is often less in hot
weather.
Second, one really does not
need any food for heat-mak-
ing purposes. 1t is hot enough
already!
In. other words. starchy
foods, which are mostly car
bohydrate and therefore
heating, can be Soft-pedaled.
But one must select a good
dieting system. with enough
proteins. This is the "catch"
in many diet reducing sys-
TENS. One which got great
publicity a year ago did not
have enough protein in it
for the body's needs. There
fore. the body had to take
its protein from the heart.
liver, etc. This is bad.
\
A danger in reducing in
summer is the tendency to
drink too many soft drinks.
Since many of these are
still loaded with sugar, they
will give one too many cal
cries.
The tendency to load foods
down with salt is something
else that must be watched.
Too much salt is not too
good in a reducing diet.
Some. yes, but not too much
