The Seaforth News, 1959-09-03, Page 7Might Have Got It
From His Mother?
As the U,S,-Japanese swim-
ming meets continued in japan
coaches all over the world star-
ed in admiration at the record of
a broad -shouldered, sturdy -leg-
ged Japanese college student
named Tsuyoshi Yamanaka, Not
only did Yamanaka break one
world's record and help break
a second, but he performed bril-
liantly in every freestyle event
from the thrashing 100 meters to
the grueling 1,500 meters. Mar-
veled Yale's Bob Kiphuth "Fan-
tastic!"
The 20 -year-old Yamanaka
comes by his swimming talent
naturally: his mother was a pro-
fessional diver for shellfish. Ya-
manaka, raised in Amamachi,
on the Sea of Japan, was a swhn-
mer at four. But as a boy, Ya-
m a n a k a shuddered at the
thought of racing: "It seemed
too tiring at the time," Then one
day he tagged along to watch
his high school team in a nation-
al meet, satfuming as the con-
testants splashed haplessly up
and down the pool, Finally, Ya-
manaka stalked down out of the
*stands, entered the 100 meters
— and won. "After watching the -
slow swimming,". says he, "I
felt -'I just had to get in there."
Once in the swim Yamanaka
set out to compete in earnest.
By ; the 1956 Olympic Games, he
was•.a 17 -year-old novice who
rolled like a canoe in white
water, because his left arm curv-
ed too far under his body. But
he still had enough raw power
to place second in the 400 meters
find second in the 1,500 meters.
Not since the 1930s, when
Tapan was the world's top swim-
ming power, h a d Japanese
coaches seen such a likely pros-
pect. They corrected his body
roll and built him into an iron -
hard (rft. 61/2 in„ 150 lbs.) com-
petitor.
At his two big meets
against the U.S., Yamanaka
warmed up by coming within
.1 sec. of matching Aussie John
Konrads' world record for the
200 meters. A bare two hours
later, he tackled the marathon
distance of 1,500 meters, set a
Japanese record. ("I struggled
along trying to overcome weari-
ness by thinking of the food I
love"). Next, thrashing home •on
the last lap with furious half -
strokes ("They give me speed
"A VERY PALPABLE HIT".— Despite a desperate effort to escape, Soviet fencer Kostava is nailed
from behind by Italy's Tassinari 'at the World Fencing Championships in Budapest, Hungary.
Wire leading from suit .is attached to mechanism which electricallyrecords a touch of the op-
ponent's blade,•
but they really wind me"), Ya-
manaka lopped 2,4 sec, off Kon -
rads= mark for the 400 meters.
Still.full of swimming, he swam
on the-. relay team that broke
the 800 meters record by 2.9
see„ : and finally, last week, Ya-
manaka• capped his performance
by tying the Japanese record
of 56.4 sec, for the 100 meters.
A junior at Tokyo's Waseda
University, Yamanaka still has
worlds to conquer before settling
down to a career- as a teacher.
Australia's great Murray Rose,
20, swam as a guest in the Jap-
anese meets, beat Yamanaka.
three times and lost to him
twice. And, at 17, Konrads still
holds the bulk of the freestyle
records, talks confidently of re-
gaining the one that Yamanaka
won away:. •"Next year I think
. I'll crack two minutes for. the
200 meters, and I'll be aiming:. at
4:12.' for the 400 meters." But
the sudden• emergence of Ya-
manaka gives ,swimming a• tri-
umvirate that can smash rec-
ords in every freestyle event
from the 200 meters up.
An old-timer is a fellow who
remembers when-. most families
made their own root beer.
When The Reds
Visited Britain
by Tom Cullen
NEA Correspondent
LONDON _ (NEA) — Sewers
and baby carriages will get
close attention during Nikita
Khrushchev's visit to U.S. cities
if the same security cautions
are taken as were during his
visit to Britain.
Scotland Yard took no chances.
London sewers,along the
route Khrushchev as to travel
were searched for time bombs,
prior to his actual arrival. In
Portsmouth, where the Soviet
cruiser bearing Khrushchev
docked, babies were lifted from
their prams by police looking
for explosives that might be
burled at the Soviet dictator.
More than 4,000 police were
detailed for special guard duty
during the visit, including 50
officers from the Special Branch
of Scotland Yard, who took
turns guarding Khrushchev
night and day.
"Never have so many wanted
to get at so few" a London po-
lice inspector on duty outside
Claridge's, where Khrushchev
stayed, explained to me. He was
referring to the thousands of
anti- Communists who have
taken refuge in -the British Isles
— from White Russian emigres,
of World War I days to East
Europeans of the 1950's.
Some of the more fanatical of
these anti-Communists — those
who would not stop at assassina-
tion—were interviewed by the
police and their movements
closely checked during Khru-
shchev's visit.
As for the others, it was Scot-
land Yard's job to restrain their
anti-Soviet "enthusiasm", which
might prove embarrassing to Her
Majesty's government.
So efficiently did Scotland
Yard work that there was no
public incident, through. shouts
of "Khrushchev go home!" form •
-
ed a sort of background music''
to the Red • chief's tour through
city streets.
When. Khrushchev traveled it
was in a bullet-proof car with'
an escort of 16 motorcycle police,
all wearing bullet-proof vests,
and three radio patrol cars.
Khrushchev brought his own
personal bodyguard of two doz-
en Russian plug-uglies in plain-
clothes, -and this gave rise , to
some comic incidents. More than
once the plug-uglies were mis-
taken for anti-Communist dem-
onstrators and pushed around by
London Bobbies.
The visit was not without other
comic relief, such as the recep-
tion Khrushchev gave for .1,500
guests at Claridge's just before
leaving.
The reception offered the spec-
tacle of the Red Dean of Canter-
bury talking to a Tory Member,
of Parliament, and Harold Stas -
sen being jostled :by a British
Communist leader.
At the height of the festivities,
Khrushchev drew, film comedian
Charlie Chaplin into a side room
for a private talk, Sample dia-
logue:
Chaplin: "Your noble words
will live in history."
Khrushchev: "You are a gen-
ius. The Americans repudiate
you, but we recognize you."
Britons will not soon forget
the visit of the vain, stolid, es-
sentially humorless Soviet lead-
er. They wish the Americans
better luck, but would warn
them to count the silverware
when Khrushchev leaves. '
LONDON BOBBIES and Soviet security police (seconl from left)
were cleso at hand during every moment of Khrushchev's Brit-
ish travels with former colleague Nikolai Bulganin.
More About That •
Third. Major League
Where would the Continental
League get major-league play-
ers? -
Where would the new teams
play?
Would , the American and Na-
tional Leagues, actually help the
newcomer?
How could there be a World
Series?
Questions like these put a
damper on 'thefestivities when
baseball's th i r•d - major league
publicly announced its • own'
birth. Yet the millionaire
sportsmen behind tile Contin- : -
ental League (in the founding
cities of New York, Toronto,
Denver, Houston, and Mihnea-
polis -St. Paul) were sure -that
they have the answers. When
they meet with organized base-
ball late; in August, they will
offer a plan along these lines.
Players: Cut the major-league.,
roster limits Pram 25 to 22. This
-would • immediately make 48
current big leaguers available,
at a predetermined price, to the
new teams. Give the members.
of the Continental League first
crack at all minor-league draft
choices. Allow the new teams
to bid freely against the old,
teams' for college and high-
school stars.
Sites: Houston and New York
have promised multimnillion-
dollar -civic stadiums to the new
teams. Minneapolisand Denver
could easily expand their pre -
.sent parks to big -league size.
Toronto alone, of the founding
cities,would have to build a
private . 'stadium. T h e other
league .cities ,have not yet been
chosen.
Co - operation: T h e greatest
negative force' for co-operation
is' the fear of the major leagues
that Congress, may take action
against them, particularly
'against thereserve clause which
indentures a playerto one team
until, the team no longer wants
him. Positively, the Continental.
League would compensate the
existing major leagues and '
teams, as well as ,minor leagues
and teams affected by tiie new
league.
World Series: Although the
Continental League hopes to be-
gin play in April 1961, it does.
not intend to compete. in . a -
World Series until.. 1963. Then
the World Series could be a
round-robin, with "four losses
eliminating an. entry.
As support for its arguments,
the Continental League pointed
to four major assets last week:
Backers whose -total capital ex-
ceeds $400 million, strong Con-
gressional support, public pres-
sure from the states which have
never had major-league base-
ball, and - the anticipated ap-
pointment of Branch Rickey Sr.,
baseball's most respected elder
statesman, as president of the
new league. • •
To some baseball men any
hope that the Continental
League will take the field in the
near future seems a slim one.
What they do feel might hap-
pen, however, is that with the
third league as a wedge, the
National and American leagues
would be forced to expand to
ten or twelve teams,
Claims Bananas
Draw Mosquitos
A Philippine medical: re-
searcher, Dr. Eusebio Y. Garcia
(af Manila Central University)
has suggested that mosquitoes
are not really interested in your
blood — what they're after are
two chemicals, serotonin and
norepinephrine, contained in the
blood.
The same two chemicals are
found In bananas. Indeed, Dr.
Garcia thinks he has shown
that mosquitos are less interest-
ed in people who don't eat ban-
anas, and that mosquito anten-
nae can detect a banana -eater
at fifty paces when the wind is
right, It seems likely, also, that
the two chemicals in question
serve, the mosquitoes .in the way
that hormones serve humans. -
It's the• female mosquito (who
•lives for about nine days) that
'is the blood sucker. The male
(who lives only a few, happy
hours as an adult) is supposed to
get his lifetime supply of sero-
tonin and norepinephrine at
birth.
Skipping lightly over the ob-
vious question, why do you sel-
dom see a female mosquito nib-
bling on a 'banana? we offer
this month's Tip To Campers:
if you're • in mosquito country,
stick "to- apples.
Led By The Blind
One-seventh of all the world's
people ,suffer from trachoma.
' Be killer, but the cause of mad-
dening itching and' burning in
the eyes, it impairs' vision, often
leads to blindness. Now, after
•50 years of frustrating efforts to
.find incontrovertible proof that
the disease is caused by a virus,
Britain's . 'Medica 1...Research •
Council reports that:researchers'
have closed the circle of 'evi-
dence.: It was. a blind man. who
helped them to see the proof

From the eye sockets of trach-
- oma vicitims, investigatorshad
no "trouble ,getting secretions in
which .they foundwhat seemed
to be a large virus. The trick
was to grow it .uncontaminated
in the laboratory, then 'use it to
transmit the disease. It refused
to grow, or grew for a few days
and vanished. A major obstacle:
the disease is hard to diagnose
except in man. Still, some hu-
man subjects got the disease in
experiments that disheartening-
ly failed to convict the virus as
the 'cause.
Surprisingly, it wasin the
Chinese Medical Journal (which
prints a lot of unscientific Com-
munist quackery) that major
progress was reported. T'ang
Fei--Fan and colleagues in Pek-
ing described scrupulously con-
ducted experiments in which
they grew generations of the
virus in fertilized eggs, gave .it.
to monkeys, which got some-
thing like trachoma.
Also surprisingly, it was the
conservative British who then
took the radical step of giving
the disease to a human volun-
teer. Dr. Leslie H. Collier and
colleagues began with trachoma
virus from the West African
colony of Gambia. It proved al-
most identical with the Chinese
strain and could also be grown
In eggs. At London's Institute
of Ophthalmology the research-
ers found their man: an old -age
pensioner, 71, who had had both
eyes removed because of injury
and infection (not trachoma).
Into his empty eye sockets the
researchers inoculated their egg -
grown trachoma virus. He had
considerable discomfort for the
first week, and slight discomfort
for two weeks more. Though his
conjunctiva continued to secrete
infective virus, he has needed no
treatment.
Thus encouraged, the research-:
ers found another volunteer, 54
and blind since birth. His dis-
comfort was more severe than
the first subject's, but his case
also yielded more knowledge:
sulfadiazine, taken by mouth,
cured his infection.
Drugs are useless against *Host
true viruses. But the cause of
trachoma is a large virus, like
that of psittacosis—ten times
bigger than the virus .of polio.
The large viruses can be knock-
ed out by some sulfa drugs and
antibiotics—already widely used.
in pilot campaigns against tra-
choma. And the British re-
searchers hope to make a pre-
ventine vaccine. -From TIME.

Francisco for counterfeiting, the

ly wanted to make enough
