MARIETTA, Ga.—Firemen atop a burning, smoking rail tank car attempt to shut off a valve that
escaping butane gas forced evacuation of a nearby elementary school. No injuries were reported
during the two hours that the car was on fire. The gas was under transfer when a hose broke
during the unloading. (UPI)

blood pressure. I’m very ac
tive taking care of a large
yard and do all the mowing,
planting, etc. I eat meat,
chicken or fish once a day
and lots of fruit and vege
tables. My bodily functions
couldn’t work more perfect
ly. These constant headaches
are laying me low.
Dear Reader—There is no
information to suggest that
taking too much iron would
cause headaches without
causing a lot of other prob
lems you don’t seem to have.
Headaches are a symptom
that can be caused by aller
gies, nervous tension, nu
merous illnesses and a list of
things so long it would fill
this column. You would need
a complete examination to
really find out what the
problem is.
On the subject of iron, a
person eating a balanced
diet should be getting suffi
cient iron without replace
ment unless he is losing
blood. There are dangers
from taking too much iron.
Dr. William Crosby of Tufts-
New England Medical Cen
ter in Boston has come out
against a proposal being con
sidered by the Food and
Drug Administration (FDA)
to add iron to foods. He
thinks this would endanger
the nation’s health.
Dr. Crosby points out that
there are about 20,000 Amer
icans who have a disease
that causes excess storage
of iron in the body and at
least 50,000 other people with
liver disease, plus blacks
and individuals of Mediter
ranean ethnic background
with certain types of anemia
who cannot tolerate in
creased amounts of iron in
their diet. The truth is we
have very little information
on the effects of excessive
ingestion of iron over long
periods of time in even nor
mal people.
1 agree with Dr. Crosby
and feel that there is some
real danger in adding too
many things to natural
foods. The business of add
ing things to natural prod
ucts or making artificial
products has gotten so com
plex that it is almost impos
sible to guess what you are
eating.
People who absorb too
much iron or patients who
get lots of blood transfusions
can gradually develop iron
deposits in the liver. The
liver may be damaged caus
i n g abnormal metabolism
w i t h a high blood sugar,
such as diabetes. The skin
can become bronze in color,
hence the term “bronze dia
betes.” One treatment for
this problem is repeated
blood-letting of the patient,
if the patient’s illness will
permit this.
There is an optional
amount of almost everything
and this includes iron.

Chinatown
leaders
rap U.N.
SAN FRNCISCO (UPI) -
Chinatown’s powerful leader
dip Thursday denounced the
United Nations as “decadent
and cynical,” and President
Nixon as a “political opportu
nist,” in a rare news confer
ence at their pagoda-style
headquarters building.
The Chinese Six Companies,
which have represented China
town’s establishment since the
tong wars, bitterly expressed
opposition to the admission of
Communist China to the United
Nations and the expulsion of
Nationalist China.
The expulsion of Taiwan was
“the beginning of the end of the
U.N. as a moral force in world
affairs,” said Rev. Tsuu Tin
Taam, a former interpreter for
President Nixon.
Taam said the world body
was “a decadent and cynical
organization” which “will fol
low in the footsteps of th
League of Nations because it
has violated its own prin
ciples.”
One spokesman strongly criti
cized Nixon for his forthcoming
visit to Peking.
“President Nixon is a politi
cal opportunist, we Chinese now
have no respect for his
integrity,” said Dr. Kalfred Dip
Lum. “None of the Chinese-
Americans in the U.S. will vote
for him in the next election.”
The Six Companies repre
sents the large family associa
tions of Chinatown whose
leaders for generations have
influenced greatly the commu
nity’s business and cultural life.
Their leadership recently has
been challenged by rebellious
young people and rival groups,
some of which flew the Red
Chinese flag after the U.N.
vote.
McCloskey
says Nixon
is flop
WASHINGTON (UPI) -Rep.
Paul N. McCloskey, R-Calif.,
has raised a new issued in his
campaign to deny President
Nixon a second term. He has
accused Nixon of failing miser
ably as commander-in-chief of
the Armed Forces.
McClocksye, a decorated hero
of the Korean War, charged
Thursday that Nixon’s policy of
gradually withdrawing Ameri
can troops was taking a terrible
toll on the U.S. military.
“The President’s policies
have nearly destroyed our
Armed Services —their pride,
their discipline, their morale,
and now their combat perfor
mance,” he said.
McCloskey cited recently
publicized instances of disobe
dience on the battlefield,
Mayings of officers by enlisted
men and widespread reports of
drug addiction among Gls.
“I regret to suggest that this
breakdown can be traced
directly to the commander-in
chief’s apparent failure to
recognize that morale and a
will to fight are as necessary
ingredients of military power
as missiles, guns and tanks,”
he said in a statement inserted
into the Congressional Record
Thursday.
McCloskey has waged a
political campaign against Nix
on centered largely on tradi
tional dovish criticism of the
war.

Toughest EMC fight ahead
By JOSEPH W. GRIGG
LONDON (UPI) -Prime
Minister Edward Heath won an
overwhelming victory in the
first round of his parliamentary
fight to take Britain into the
European Common Market, but
the toughest battle lay ahead.
Parliament Thursday night
endorsed Heath’s bid for British
participation in the booming six
nation Common Market by Jan.
1, 1973. The approval came
despite public opinion polls
lowing half the nation opposed
entry —opposition that a high
powered government
propaganda campaign has not
been able to dissolve.
The economic community’s
six members are France, West
Germany, Italy, Belgium, the
Netherlands and Luxembourg.
The market was formed March
25, 1957.
The House of Commons vote
was 356 to 244 —an unexpected
ly large majority. Pre-vote
predictions had indicated a 50
Teacher’s
body found
QUITMAN, Ga. (UPl)—The
decomposed body of a man iden
tified as Cecil Clewis, 65, a
Sandersville school teacher, was
found Thursday in an abandoned
farm house near here.
The area is about 10 miles
northwest of Quitman and two
miles north of the spot where
Clewis’ abandoned and broken
down automobile was found last
Thanksgiving Day.
Brooks County Sheriff Ram
sey Renfroe theorized that
Clewis sought shelter in the
abandoned house and died of
natural causes.
Toccoa man
appointed
ATLANTA (UPI) — William
C. Clary Jr., president of the
Bank of Toccoa, has been
named chairman of the Geor
gia Real Estate Investment
Board, succeeding Jack Minter
who was fired by Gov. Jimmy
Carter.
Minter was dismissed from
the advisory panel after he
filed a federal court suit claim
ing he was instrumental in
having the state employ the
services of a computer com
pany during former Gov.
Lester Maddox’s administra
tion.
Clary, past president of the
Georgia Bankers Association
and a former Toccoa mayor,
has been a member of the
board since it was founded in
the administration of former
Gov. Ernest Vandiver.
The board named Travis A.
Sanders of Smyrna to succeed
Clary as vice chairman.
Fiend for economy
TIVERTON, England (UPI )-
Five days a week, Mrs. Mary
Day takes her two children 16
miles to their school in Exeter.
Then she parks her car in a
nearby street and for seven
hours sits surrounded by flasks
of coffee, magazines and
knitting to wait for classes to
end.
The reason, she told puzzled
residents of the area Thursday,
is to save on gasoline bills.
“I know it must appear
rather odd to see me sitting in
my car all day, but it saves me
more than 160 miles a week,”
she said.
Gasoline in Britain is an
average of 87 cents a gallon.
to 60 vote majority. In the
House of Lords, the result was
451 to 58.
The Commons voting all but
ignored party lines.
Although oppositionentry, 69
pro-market labor lawmakers
defied him. Another 20 ab
stained.
But 39 anti-market Conserva
tives voted against the govern
ment and three abstained.
This meant that Heath, a
Conservative, would have been
defeated without the support of
Labor party pro-marketeers.
The Commons voting result
was greeted with whoops and
cheers.
Heath grinned broadly. Wil
liam Whitelaw, leader of the
House, fished out a one pound
bill — worth about $2.50 —and
handed it to a fellow Conserva
tive behind him in payment of
a bet.
Young Winston Churchill,
grandson of Britain’s World
War n leader Sir Winston
Churchill, gave a V for victory
sign.
In Brussels, Franco-Maria
Malfatti, president of the
Common Market’s Executive
Commission, said “the historic
decision marks the success of
the building of Europe and
above all provides it with the
necessary dimensions and sta
tus.”
On the white cliffs of Dover,
cheering pro-marketeers lighted
a giant bonfire. Among them
was former Prime Minister
Harold MacMillan, whose Con
servative party government
made Britain’s first entry bid
in 1961.
Judicial
seminar
opens
ATLANTA (UPI) - About 60
members of the military judici
al system, more in the spotlight
the past year than perhaps at
any time in history, gathered
here today for the first Army
sponsored judicial seminar.
It was the massacre of Viet
namese civilians at My Lai and
the subsequent courts - martial
which brought worldwide atten
tion to the military judges.
Among those scheduled to at
tend the meeting were Maj.
Gen. Kenneth J. Hodson, chief
judge of the U. S. Court of Mil
itary Review which is currently
going over the conviction of Lt.
William Calley for the murder
of 22 persons at My Lai.
Cd. Reid W. Kennedy of Ft.
Benning, trial judge in the Cal
ley case, is scheduled to serve
as moderater at a discussion of
“pretrial publicity.”
Also attending will be Col. Pe
ter S. Wondolowski, trial judge
in the court-martial of Col. Oran
K. Henderson, who was charged
with covering up the My Lai
massacre.

Heath’s problem now as how
to get Parliament to pass the
enabling legislation needed to
get Britain into the Market.
The government planned to
introduce this early next year.
It will consist of a short bill
ratifying the treaty making
Britain a Common Market
member and a longer bill
designed to align British
legislation with that of the
European Economic Communi
ty-
Wilson served notice Thurs
day night that in the future
Heath could not expect help
from labor’s pro-marketeers.
“From now on Mr. Heath has
got to stand on his own two feet
to get the legislation through —
and this will be a very different
matter,” Wilson said in a
televised interview.

The obvious implication was
that, while he had tolerated a
revolt by 70 Labor pro
marketeers Thursday, he would
not do so in future. Whether
Wilson could deliver a straight
party vote next time as he
promised was the question.
Among pro-market Laborites
who supported the government
Thursday were deputy party
leader Roy Jenkins and four
other members of Wilson’s
“shadow” cabinet.
Political commentators said
if Wilson succeeds in whipping
his Labor Party pro-marketeers
into line, as he has indicated he
will do, and if hard line
Conservative anti-marketeers
continue to vote against the
government, Heath could be in
serious trouble trying to get the
legislation through Parliament.
