NEW YORK (AP)-Gold buying
is a gambler’s game. The feverish
rise in gold prices involves only a
tiny amount of the world’s store
of gold being traded on open
markets.
The price rise effect on the vast
number of Americans is nil—so
far. It could affect them only if
and Kansas last May ” apparently
caused pressure chance* which
traveled through the air to Wash-
subject to coronary attacks than
women, and one reason could be
that women do more work and get
more exercise than their hus-
bands, said Dr. George E. Waker-
ling of New York, the associa-
tion’s medical director.
MORE ENERGY
He reported studies showing
the average housewife spends
three to four times more energy
doing her housework than her
husband does at his job.
Among male jobs studied, only
steelworkers spent more energy
than housewives, he said.
Many heart specialists believe
regular activity and exercise are
helpful in preventing coronaries.
Momen. up until the age of
menopause or change of life, ap-
pear naturally more resistant to
heart disease than men, probably
because of some effect of female
sex hormone, but the housewife's
activity could play a slight role,
too. Dr. Wakerlin said.

sound.
First reports on the research
were given to the Acoustical So-
ciety of America by Dr. Richard
K. Cook and Dr. J. M. Young,
physicists of the National Bureau
of Standards. They also talked to
reporters.
If you enunciated a single
sound, such as the letter O. into
a tape recorder and then slowed
down the tape so the playback
would be drawn out to about 20
seconds you would be producing
an infrasound something like that
produced by a big earthquake
1,500 miles away.
In doing this you would be
changing the air pressure around
the speaker by about one part in
a million and you would be taking
a long time to do it.
Instruments that measure these
minute and very slow changes in
atmosnheric pressure are the
means by which the researchers
made their discoveries The in-
struments are called microbaro-
granhs.
With these instruments the re-
searchers learned that the air is
full of infrasound.
The big earthquake in the Yel-
lowstone region of Montana on
Aug. 18, 1959 was registered on
Bureau of Standards seismome-
ters in Washington, D.C. It was a
enough of its gold hoard on the
worl market to deflate the present
boom.
Only such a devaluation of the
dollar could affect prices, wages
— and the value of and income
from investments already made.
So the gambler's game today is
primarily a spectacle of get rich
quick operators preying on some
Europeans’ distrust of the U.S.
dollar and economy. It does hold
the threat of undermining the dol-
lar—but only a distant and most
unlikely threat.
All the gold traded by private
operators on the open market dur-
ing the rise this week of about $5
in the price of gold is estimated
to have been no more than $10
million or $15 million. This com-
pares with the $18.5 billion the
U.S. Treasury holds and the $33,
million which foreign central
banks acquired during the last
week from the Treasury in normal
dealings.
All concerned insist that central
banks aren’t involved in the open
market trading — which some
bankers here characterize as just
peanuts.
The chance of any but the most
sophisticated American investor
taking part in the gamble also is
slim. U.S. gold miners must sell
all their output to the U.S. Treas-
ury. U.S. citizens can't buy gold
in this country except for use in
the arts and industries or as old
gold coins for collections.

ST. LoUI, Mo. (AP) - Special
twisted hormones are safely re-
ducing cholesterol in the blood of
heart patients, two physicians re-
ported today.
Cholesterol is a fatty material
which is thought to play a part
in choking and blocking arteries
to the heart and in the brain. This
clogging produces heart attacks
and strokes.
The twisted hormones are syn-
thetic or man-made variations of
the thyroid hormone, thyroxin.
They are twisted in the sense that
their chemical molecules are
backward or mirror-image ver-
sions of the natural hormone.
NATURAL THYROXIN
Natural thyroxin drastically re-
duces cholesterol. But it also
speeds up bodily reactions, and
can cause nervousness, irritabili-
ty, and loss of weight.
‘The new synthetic horomones do
the job without causing undesira-
ble effects, Drs. Maurice M. Best
and Charles T. Duncan of Louis-
ville, Ky., told opening sessions
of the American Heart Associa-
tion's annual scientific meeting.

PEORIA, 111. (AP) — How can
you make your point time after
time in a courtroom and still be
in trouble?
Mack Allen and his three com-
panions did it—with dice.
After watching Allen roll an
endless string of sevens—the win-
ning number, or point—in a dem-
onstration crap game, a Peoria
County Circuit Court jury Thurs-
day found the four men innocent
of robbery.
But State's Atty. Eugene Pratt,
who watched the demonstration,
obtained warrants charging each
man with gambling, and swindling
by sleight of hand.
Allen and his companions were
charged with robbing Ralph Mc-
Kinzie, an Indianapolis truck
driver of $70 and his watch. Allen
said they won the money and
watch in a crap game.
To prove this, Allen demon-
strated his skills Wednesday. Roll-
ing point after point, Allen said
he could throw sevens all day
long.
And to disturb the laws of prob-
ability further, Allen concluded
by unerringly calling combina-
tions of numbers and then throw-
ing them. He would not explain
how he did it. The dice, supplied
by his attorney, were not in-

HAVANA (AP)—Cuba’s econom-
ic czar said Thursday night the
U.S. embargo on most exports to
Cuba will not seriously harm the
island nation partly because black
marketeers in the United States
will defy it.
But National Bank President
Ernesto Guevara conceded that
Cuba faces difficulties. He said
the nation "must have confidence
in the solidarity of the na-
tions that have offered to stand
by us, extending economic aid and
even volunteers and, figuratively
speaking, rockets"—an obvious
reference to Soviet Russia and
the Communist bloc.
TRADE TRIP
Guevara spoke on a two-hout
TV program before leaving today
with eight other officials on a
trade-building trip to the Soviet
Union, Red China, Czechoslova-
kia, North Korea and East Ger-
many.
Black marketeers in the United
States have worked against Wash-
ington's trade bans in the past,
and they will evade this one, Gue-
vara declared. .
Guevara said that "there is a
serious threat” of what he called
U.S.-financed invasion in the near
future from Guatemala.
NO WAY OUT
"I believe they’ll come.” he
said, "but I also believe they will
never get out.”
The Castro regime tightened its
state control of the economy today
by decreeing that all future im-
ports will be handled only by the
government's Bank for Foreign
Trade.

5S° FRESH Agh
Dentonites who wish to at-
tend the "Luncheon With Frank
Ikard” observance on Tuesday
must make their reservations by
Monday morning, they were
warned today.
The Tuesday luncheon is being
coordinated by the Denton Cham-
Nixon’s press secretary, Her-
bert G. Klein, said a formal com-
plaint "undoubtedly” will be
lodged against the TV film. He
said the complaint might be filed
with the Fair Campaign Practices
Committee, a nonpartisan organi-
zation set up to review campaign
complaints.
Asked by a reporter whether
complaint might also be filed
with the Federal Communications
Commission, Klein said there are
no plans for that now.
Klein said the film was "anoth-
er indication of the smear cam-
paign. We're worried about the
trend toward this type of politics
and we just wonder what they're
going to do next.”
He said Nixon aides have
viewed original films of the de-
bate and that the Nixon shots on
the Kennedy campaign film were
definitely out of context.
After the first debate, some Re-
publicans suggested Nixon was
too agreeable with Kennedy’s
statements, and urged him to be
more aggressive in their later
meetings.
Finch said the Kennedy film
“can only be called vicious politi-
cal trickery of the most contempt-
ible sort." He also asserted:
"This, together with the Reuther
smear sheet put out suggesting
anyone who votes for Vice Presi-
dent Nixon is a bigot indicates
that Kennedy will go to any length
and use any device in his desper-
ate effort to win this election.”
Finch referred to an insert cir-
culated in a newspaper published
by the auto workers union, head-
ed by Walter Reuther. President
Eisenhower also had denounced
the published item.
After it appeared, Reuther ex-
pressed public regrets for it, and
said a subsequent issue would in-
clude an editorial to eliminate
any "possible misinterpretation."

SIKESTON, Mo. (AP) —
Sen. John F. Kennedy told a
Democratic rally in Sikeston
Thursday night that the
"Democratic party is best for
agriculture.”
The presidential candidate
spoke from New York City via a
special telephone circuit.
Earlier, the crowd of about
2,000 heard former President
Harry S. Truman claim that Vice
President Richard M. Nixon was
making reckless charges in an at-
tempt to set urban consumers
against fanners. He referred to
Nixon's contention that the Demo-
cratic farm program would in-
crease food prices.
"I am very much aware of the
problem which the Bootheel sec-
tion of Missouri faces, particularly
those who are engaged in the busi-
ness of growing cotton,” Kennedy
said. “I can assure you if I am
elected president I will consult
with Sen. (Stuart) Symington and
with the Missouri cotton growers
in order to provide maximum ben-
efits to this major cotton-growing
section.”
Kennedy said the present ad-
ministration “has been indifferent
to cotton growers and to the prob-
lems that face the rest of our
agricultural economy."
"I think Mr. Nixon’s proposals
are merely a continuation of those
that have been discredited by Ben-
son" (Secretary of Agriculture
Ezra Taft Benson), Kennedy said.
THE EAGLES finally have
all their cripples well enough
to play at semi-full speed.
