Continued Federal Aid
Pending New Farm
Program Is Ufged
Taxes and Interest
Charge Adjustments
Demanded by Grange
By the Associated Press.
PEORIA. 111.. Nov. 24.—Continued
Federal aid to farmers pending the
establishment of a permanent agri
cultural prograpi was demanded to
day by the National Grange at the
final session of its 71st annual con
vention.
Delegates representing 800,000
Grange members adopted a commit
tee report which held that Federal
benefit payments w£re justifiable
until agriculture is accorded a bigger
share of the national income.
The report demanded adjustments
in taxation, interest charges, wage
levels and transportation rates to
“equalize existing inequalities” for
agriculture and proposed both an
emergency and a long-time farm
program.
Compensatory Payments.
The temporary program advo
cated compensatory payments on
domestically consumed portions of
export crops to provide parity
prices; similar payments for pro
duction quotas to be determined on
the basis of land use, acreage, crops
and farm.equipment; safeguards for
tenant interests and continued use
of tariff revenue to reduce surpluses
at home and abroad.
The Grange, opposing any form
of processing taxes, recommended
that funds for the temporary pro
gram should be obtained from
tariff revenue, supplemented by ex
cise taxes on manufactured prod
nrt.fi
For a permanent program the
Grange recommended:
1. Safeguarding and expansion of
the American market for the Ameri
can farmer, but restricting expansion
of production areas.
2. A land use policy intended for
soil conservation rather than for the
purpose of limiting production.
3. Retention of such emergency
legislation which may prove useful
in future emergencies.
4. Development of co-operative
marketing.
Change in Operating Costs.
The report asserted that the farm
problem is “one of unfair relations
with other industry and with labor"
and that during the last several
years there have been “many
changes in agricultural operating
costs as a result of attempts to
raise American living standards
higher and higher above the wovSi
level ”
A minority report indorsing pro
posals to guarantee cost of produc
tion caused considerable discussion
but was finally referred to a special
committee for study until next year’s
convention. *
Delegates adopted a resolution de
manding that agriculture be given
representation on boards, bureaus
and commissions established under
the industrial mobilization plan.
The measure contended agriculture
had no voice in the creation of the
plan.
The germ explanation of disease
was advanced by a Viennese sci
entist, Fracastoria, as early as 1546.
Improved Electrocardiograph
Demonstrated to Physicians
%
'Lag Screen' Attachment Permits Action
Of Heart to Be Recorded Accurately
By STEPHEN J. McDONOUGH,
Associated Press Science Writer.
MEMPHIS, Tenn., Nov. 24.—Few
persons except highly trained sur
geons and nurses have ever watched
a human heart at work. But today
I watched the action of my own
heart more accurately than if it had
been laid out on an operating table.
Dr. Graham Asher of the Univer
sity of Kansas Medical School, Kan
sas City, Kans., was demonstrating
to members of the Southern Med
ical Association his “lag screen elec
trocardiograph,” a machine for di
agnosing heart trouble,, which
brought him first award in the as
sociation’s scientific exhibit. I be
came one of his subjects for demon
stration.
Impulses Poured Out.
The hookup looked as though I
had been prepared for the electric
chair, but instead of electricity be
ing poured into me, my heart was
pumping out electrical impulses to
a dancing needle-point of light
which was recorded on a moving
strip of fluorescent film.
A small metal ele*ctrode was
strapped to each wrist and to the
left ankle. The current flowing from
the heart is so small as to be almost
undetectable, but the electrocardio
graph multiplies it from 800 to 1,000
times through a series of vacuum
tubes to actuate the beam of light.
The machine is not new, but the
“lag screen" device which keeps the
record of the light visible for 15
seconds or more is the newest im
provement in making diagnosis of
early heart disease a simple pro
cedure.
With the electrodes on and the
machine in action, the light began
to do a regular, even dance, leaving
a tracing which looked like a chart
of the rises and slumps of the stock
market.
<9
Dip Indicates Overweight.
“You have a slight dip in the ‘P’
curve just before the expansion
beat of the heart, indicating that
you are a little overweight,” Dr.
Asher printed out as the moving
strip of film passed along. "Now
j smoke a cigarette.” The record
speeded up slightly.
“Now do a jig for about half a
minute.” The heart rate increased,
and the beam did a continuously
wilder dance until I sat down. The
record returned quickly to normal.
The machine is not a ’ “lie de
tector,” which measures only su<*
den changes in breathing. How
ever, it is many times more sensi
tive. Any slight movement of the
body, such as leaning forward, or
quick change of attention, was re
corded instantaneously.
The machine is small enough to
be transported to a bedside for
diagnosis of heart ailments and has
an automatic camera which, <tith
the press of a button, will make *->
permanent record of the tracing.
Dr. Asher declared that he is now
developing a giant “lag screen” for
hospital use during operations which
will enable a surgeon to read on the
wall In front of him the actual con
dition of a patient’s heart.
dirl Dies After Scalding '
ST. LOUIS, Nov. 24 (JP).—Burned
Wednesday night when she stumbled*
into a£>ucket of hot water. 2-year
old Earlene Comstock died today.
Her father had used the water to
scald a goose he was picking for
Thanksgiving dinner.
Man Is Held as Slayer
Of Chicago Grocer
Bj the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, Nov. 24—Trapped In
an attic hideout, a wounded colored
man was held by the police today
as the confessed slayer of Vito Ad
dante, a grocer shot to death in the
presence of his family during a hold
up a week ago.
Assistant State’s Attorney Alex
ander Napoli said the man, Oscar
Bragg, 35, confessed soon after his
arrest yesterday afternoon. He was
taken to the police hospital on a
stretcher, having suffered four
•
wounds at the hands of Mr. Addante
and his 13-year-old son, Pasquale.
Pasquale identified the suspect as
the robber he fired at after picking
up his father’s fallen pistol. The
man, Prosecutor Napoli said, told
him he was crazed with narcotics
when the fatal shooting occurred.
3,064 Railway Workers
Given Medals by Soviet
By the Associated Press.
MOSCOW, Nov. 24.—The presidi
um of the Supreme Soviet today
awarded honors and medals to 3,064
railwaymen for exemplary service.
Among the recipients were leading
workers of the commissariat of rail
ways, inventors, engineers and tech
nicians and 71 workers in the Mos
cow subway.
Paulina Zhemchuzhina, wife of
Premier-Foreign Commissar Vyache
slaff MolotofT and herself Russia’s
only woman commissar as head of
the fishing industry, has been re
leased from her post "to be trans
ferred to another one,” it was an
nounced last night.
Many foreign observers expressed
belief the action was a demotion for
Zhemchuzhina, who became interna
tionally known several years ago as
head of the Soviet “perfume trust.”
Maverick Plants
Onions in Front Yard
Bj the Aieoclated Prfu.
SAN ANTONIO, Tex.—Maury
Maverick, peppery Mayor of San
Antonio and former Texas Repre
sentative in Congress, thinks vege
tables are as easy on the eye as most
flowers and a great deal more profit
able.
He raised a crop of onions, rad
ishes, carrots, collards and string
beans in his front yard this summer
and then put in a second planting of
winter onions.
So far he hasn’t convinced Mrs.
Maverick that roses aren’t prettier.
