Space Funds
BY the Associated Press

The Senate yesterday passed,
1910, a bill authorizing S97O
million for civilian space activ-
tiles in the year starting next
July Ia total $50 million
higher than President Eisen-
hover asked.
The measure now goes back
to the House which voted 1914
million. A separate appropria-
ton bill later will provide the
actual funds, this could be less
than the authorization.
Before passage, Senator john
son of Texas, chairman of the
Senate Space Committee, said
the extra money will provide
our space program with needed
elbow room"
Even in the space age, there
is still no substitute for money" /"
he said.
Paying tribute to recent sue
cessful experiments by the
National Aeronautics and Space
Administration, Senator John
son said there is still much to
be done"
We must assure that there
will be no financial roadblocks
on our paths to the stars" he
added.

Ashes Rejected
ByForest Lawn

WI @S WIZ
SAN RAFAEL. Calf, May 4
CAP).-Caryl Cheeseman's ashes
remained at a mortuary here
today. the object of a contro-
versy over their disposition.
The convict-author, who was
executed Monday, had direct
ed that his ashes be placed at
Glendale's Forest Lawn Me-
mortal Park in Southern Cali
fornia. His mother is buried
there.
But a Forest Lawn spokes-
man, noting that Chessman
was ''unrepentant and an
avowed agnostic," Ssaid last
night the ashes would be re-
fused. He said they would de
tract from the spiritual values
OF Forest Lawn.
One of Cheeseman's attorneys,
A. L. Wirin, said in Los Angeles
he would recommend to RoSalie
Asher, executrix of the con-
vict'S estate and also his law
yer, that a court order be re-
quested requiring Forest Lawn
to accept the remains.
No Religious Service
Miss Asher went into seclu-
sion after failure of her last
frantic efforts to obtain a stay
of execution. She was not pres
ent at the cremation at Tamal-
pals Cemetery yesterday. There
was no religious service.
A San Rafael newswoman,
Bernice Freeman, placed two
roSebuds from her garden on
the otherwise unadorned coffin
and they remained there for the
trip to the cemetery crema-
torium.
Mrs. Freeman. who knew
Chessman we'll: said he offered
one of his eyes when one of
her daughters. Pat Aldridge,
was going blind. When another
daughter, Mrs. Bette johnson,
also began losing her eyesight
Chessman made a like offer,
Mrs. Freeman said.
Mortician Harry Williams
said disposition of the ashes
would await instructions from
Miss Asher. He added he had
received a telegram from For
est Lawn saying: DO not ship
remains Of Caryl ChesSman to
us"
George T. Davis, another of
the convict'S attorneys, said
the execution Of the death row
author. who was convicted as
the Los Angeles red light
bandit IL years ago, was "a
regrettable mistake"
He declared he would con-
tinue to investigate the case
and to work for abolition Of
capital punishment.
Before he died in the gas
chamber Chessman wrote sew
eral letters. One of them,
dated on his execution day,
was delivered by mail ito Mr..
Davis yesterday.
Letter to Attorney
In this two-paragraph note
Chessman wrote:
Now my long struggle is
over. Yours isn't. This bar
barous, senseless practice, cap
ital punishment, will continue.
In our society other men will
go taking that last walk to
death until when?' Until
the citizens of this State and
this land are made aware of
its futility. Until they realize
that retributive justice is not
justice at all.
Il die with the burning hope
that my case and my death
will contribute to this aware
ness, this realization. I know
that you personally will do all
in your power as citizen and
lawyer to convince your fell
lows that justice is not served
but confounded by vengeance
and executioners."

WITCH DOCTORS
NOT ALL HUMBUG
SCIENTISTS S A Y

WASHINGTON. - Scien I'll t S
have turned to witch doctors and
medicine men for aid in fighting
disease.
Drug firms in the United States
and Europe are testing exotic
plants used by jungle practitioners
to treat sickness and injury. Labo-
ratory studies have confirmed the
efficacy of a number of anesthetics,
Stimulants, and balms.
American Indians alone have
contributed about so plants to
modern pharmacy, the National
Geographic Society says.
Surrounded by natures mys-
cries, primitive man regards mis-
fortune as originating in sinister,
invisible agencies. And though
he has developed useful remedies for
specific ailments, he usually as
societies medicine with magic and
the supernatural.
Shamans Use Psychology
Aspiring shamans, or medicine
men. undergo years of training and
discipline. Like modern physicians,
thew make a diagnosis and pre-
scribe some sort of therapy. They
frequently use psychology to heal
minor ailments.
Many New World indians be-
lieve serious illness is caused by
foreign body entering the SICK
person. Witches are often held re-
sensible for the intrusive object,
said to be frog, a pebble or a
thorn. The shaman removes" the
injecting agent by ceremonially
sucking it out or blowing tobacco
smoke on the affected part.
Moslem tribes of the East Afri-
can coast blame disease on mis-
chievous demon who hampers with
the internal organs of the human
body. A diviner usually prescribes
a eek-long dance and a goat
sacrifice to exercise the unwelcome
guest. The more elaborate the cere-
1nony. the better the chance of a
cure, and the higher the OWNERS
fee.
Some ritual prescriptions are ac-
tually beneficial. In the Mentawa
Islands southwest of Sunatra
dysentery sufferers are told to he
face down in the sun on the edge
of a certain cliff and periodically
lick the earth. The soil contain:
kaolin, an effective antidote to the
ailment, and the warm cliff sur
face acts as heating pad.
Dried Toad Skins
Many other diagnoses and pre-
scriptions are rational. Ancient
Chinese warriors staunched battle
wounds with dried toad skins. They
contained epinephrine, a COMPOUND
still used to stimulate the hear
and stop bleeding.
For 1000 years, hill tribes O
India have depended upon a plan
named Rauwolfia serpentina u
cure everything from insomnia II
insanity. Brought to the West, i
has become the basic ingredient IL
tranouilizers and is effective in thu
treatment of high blood pressure
The Ainu of Japan salve wounds
with a fungus from certain deae
trees. Antibiotics were employed
in this way long before the dis
covery of peniciliin.
As an experiment, modern sur
geons recently performed a sue
cessful brain operation using the
same obsidian tools utilized by
Peruvian Indians for that purpose
in prehistoric times.
Primitive man sets broken bones
in clay casts. African tribesme1
use fierce safari ant to stitch deer
cuts. The jaws of the ant CLAMP

ants body is severed, leaving the

ConnoIeAetion
Told in Letter
BY CECIL HOLLAND
Star stan Writer

President Eisenhower says
he replaced william r. Con-
mole on the Federal Power
Commission because he was
identified with one particular
view"
The Presidents explanation
was given in q letter to SEN
ator Dodd, Democrat of Con-
necticut. that the Senator re-
leased yesterday.
The Senator said nothing
in the letter altered his view
that the dismissal of Mr.. Con-
mole, a Connecticut indepen-
dent, was a completely un-
justified breach of the public
interest"
He had written the Presi-
dent protesting the replace
ment of Mr.. Connole, calling
him the principal protector"
Of the consumer on the COM
mission.
In his reply, the President
said it was his purpose to ap-
point to Federal ONCE "the
best qualified people available. +"
and added:
with regard to the Federal
Power Commission and the
other regulatory agencies, I
concluded some time ago that
the purpose Of these agencies
would best be served If the
nominees to these bodies did
not become identified as repre-
senting any view narrower than
the broad public interest.
"It seems to be much better
for consumers and others
affected by the agency's ac-
tions, for industries under an
agency's jurisdiction, and for
the country as q whole-if the
members Of an agency are uni
versally regarded as represent
ing only this broad public In
terest."
The President has nomi-
mated Thomas Jackson Done
gan, a member Of the Sub
versives Activities Control
Board. as Mr.. Connole's re.
placement. At the same time
he proposed Paul A. Sweeney,

Urges Bold
Platform

BEAR MOUNTAIN, N. Y,
May IA (AP) Senator Sym

said today the Democrats must
adopt a bold, courageous and
progressive platform at their
Los Angeles national conven-
ton.
I'm going to the Democratic
convention in the hope Of be-
ing nominated for president. "
said the Missouri Senator, but
that's not the only reason.
During the course of the
convention, weT are going to
hammer out a platform to
guide our great party during
the next four years, and I in
tend to do all I can to see
that this platform reflects and
implements the progressive,
humanitarian ideals of the
Democratic party"
Senator Symington, in a
speech prepared for delivery at
a Rockland County Democratic
dinner, added:
I'VE must not approach our
platform in a tinfid or cover
ing way. We must fashion a
bold and courageous declara-
ton. and you can count on me
to do all in my power to bring
this about"
Symington said the platform
should dedicate the party to
the pursuit of peace and dis
armament. He continued:
There must be a whole new
initiative for our foreign policy.
We must have fresh inspiration
70 get on the dead center on
which we are presently stalled.
Both Roosevelt and Truman
proved that this can be done,
and If I should be nominated,
1t win be done again"

John B. Hussey Of louisiana. y
II believe firmly In these
principles" said Mr.. Eisen-
hover in referring to the
reasons for not reappointing
Mr.. Connole, "and I believe
with equal firmness that my
recent nominees :, Mr.. DON
egan and Mr.. Sweeney, are
such men.
furthermore, it Is important
to note that while Mr.. Donegari
is replacing a man who has
become, as you point out in
your letter, identified with one
particular point of view so is
Mr.. Sweeney replacing a man
who had become identified with
the opposing point of view"
Mr.. Hussey was widely re-.
garded as representing on the
commission the point of view
of the gas and oil industry.
The President said his actions
in no sense should be
construed as a reflection on
Mr.. Connole." In his opinion,
the President added, "he has
served faithfully and diligently
as q member Of the commits
sion."
Senator Dodd said he was dis
appointed at the Presidents ex-
PLANTATION but pleased with his
comments about Mr.. Connole's
services.
"The Federal Power commis-
sion," the Senator added, "is
supposed to protect the public
interest and the welfare Of tens
of millions OF. Consumers. To re-
gard the consuming public
merely as q narro winterest or
a particular point of view
seems to me a misreading Of the
historical purpose of the COM
mission"

Safe Food
Board Urged
BY the Associated Press

Creation Of a special boarC
to help protect the Nations
food supply from cancer-pro'
ducing substances was recon.
mended to President Eisen-
hover yesterday.
The proposal was made by
a presidential committee Of
scientists after a study at Pres
ident Eisenhower's request oi
the use of chemicals and drugs
as food additives.
Improved administrative pro-
cedures and further research
are needed, the committee said
to guard against use or un-
necessary banning of chemi-
Gals and drugs used in foods.
The committee recommended
that the special board be ap-
pointed by the Welfare De-
partment to help in evaluating
scientific evidence on the basis
of which the Food and Drug
Administration decides whether
use of additives may be per-
mitted.
1t said the committee should
be made up of experts from
FDA, the National Cancer In
stitute, the Department OF
Agriculture and scientists nomi-
mated by the National Academy
of Science.
The board would consider
evidence and make recon-
mendations to the Secretary oi

tiveS and on proposals fol
