Detective William Fox is also |
pr. William Fox, the only Doctgr ‘
of Philosophy among New York’s
18,000 police. He earned the|
Ph.D. degree In Surfacg Chemis
tpy from Columbia University in
(
”?\JJ(,\';. at the request of the Bu
reau of Mines, Detective (or Dr.)
Fox has been granted a year's|
leave of -absence to conduct re
gearch which, it is hoped, will re
ault in production of from 25 to
Ei; per cent more of the crude oil |
now in the earth. ’
A science teacher in a Newl
Haven, Conn., high. school first'
stirred Fox’s interest in chemistry.
After his family moved to New
York, he entered City College. To
help pay expenses through City
College he worked nights in a|
bakery. ¢ : i
geience continued to be hlsl
chief interest. At 21, he was
oraduated from City College with‘
2 Bachelor of Science degree, in
1935. Then he went to work as
2 chemist ;and began graduate
work in chemistry at Columbia.
There he came to the attention
of Prof. Arthur W. Thomas, head
of the chemistry depariment
Thomas saw in him a potential
«cientist of importance. At his
suggestion, Fox set his sights on|
2 master’s degree in chemistry. l
But expenses had to e paid. In
1939, Bill Fox earned a place in
the spectacular swimming cast of
Rilly, Rose’s Aquacade at the New |
York World’s Fair. !
After the fair closed, he taught
applied science in two New York
City high schools. Then, in 1940,
Fox joined the police force as a
patrolman.
He covered a beat from mid
night to 8 a. m. During the day
he went to Columbia for his grad
nate courses inchemistry. In 1942,
he received his A.M. degree and, in
1944, his Ph.D. ’
He was promoted to detective in
1945 and assigned to the police
chemical research laboratory. Lat
er, because he wanted a more
rounded experience in police work,
he was transferred to the 34th

Precinct in New York’s busy
Washington Heights,
He continued his close associa
tion with Prof. Thomas at Colum
bia, and with his studies in sur
face chemistry which have made
him one of the authorities in that
field. His doctoral dissertation
was entitled: “Equilibrium Rela
tionships Between Fluid Inter
faces; the System of Methylene
lodide-Water-Air.” He has taken
'‘an occasional day off to deliver
reports before scientific societies
in various eastern cities.
He came here at the request of
the Petroleum Experiment Sta
tion. They are trying to learn
more about the forces operative in
petroleum reservoirs that prevent
from 25 to 50 per cent of the crude
oil in the earth from being pro
duced, even by the most modern
engineering methods. Along with
other chemists, Fox hopes to come
up with the solution.
But he’s still one of New York’s
Finest, and he expects to be back.
“Because,” he | explains, “the
work of being a policeman today
is a great job, too. Today’s po
liceman recognizes the social im
plications of his work and the fact
that he has a social responsibility
to the community. He is there to
help and to protect, not just to
punish.
“He studies people and he
learns a great deal about them. It
'is true, perhaps, that I'm some
‘thing of a curiosity on the force,
with my Ph.D. in chemistry . But
}I believe that every policemap of
five years’ experience has learned
enough about people, their habits,
their thinking, the working of
their minds, to qualify for a Ph.D.
in psychology.”

The girl who dreads to look in
{ the mirror every morning for fear
that she’ll be greeted by a skin
blemish can solve that plague
problem.
She can provide herself with a
medicated make-up to use for just
such an emergency. Such a make
up, which is available in the form
of medicated foundation lotions,
helps to heal skin eruptions while
it mask these little beauty blights
from view. What acis as a blessed
mask is a complexion tint with
which - these opaque hygenic lo
tions veil the skin.
for long lasting make-up
powder in a shade which matches
the medicated foundation may be
applied.

Puerto Nuevo, on the outskirts of San Juan, Puerto Rico. Started little more than a year ago, 3500
dwellings have already been completed by L. D. Long, Charleston, S. C., builder, Each concrete
house has five rooms and bath and sells, on the average, at S4OOO. This is the first of several
low-cost projects designed to relieve the housing shortage in overcrowded Puerto Rico.
SAILORS BECOME DIPLOMATS
EROM NAVY'S NEW STRATERY
WITH THE U, S. SIXTH TASK
FLEET in the Mediterranean ——l
(NEA)—Uncle Sam’s rowdy sail-}
ors of decades ago are going so
scoff at the radical changes now
taking place in our Navy, but the
mothers of youthful America can
rejoice. For the Navy is becom
ing what it is supposed to be: a
fighting service, but a pleasant
‘and recreational service, 100.
~ Gold-braided admirals, too of
ten austere and engrossed in their
own top secrets, have begun to
do a bit of sincere thinking about
the welfare of the Navy’s enlisted
blue jackets. The result is sur-
I prising.
| While the Navy’s Sixth Task
Fleet lay in Gibraltar, just before
steaming east on maneuvers, ex
perienced YMCA executives from
America were hard at work on a
peaceful landing plan for several
Mediterranean ports.
Admiral Richard L. Conolly,
' YHE BANNER-HEERALD, ATHENS, GEORGIA, ~
Commander of U. S. Naval Taski
Forces in the Eastern Atlantic andl
Mediterranean, explained they
were setting up recreational and{
educational programs for the ap
proximately 12,000 sailors in the’
tact fleet.
When the fleet arrived in Ath
ens, for example, group after
group of our sailors, each led by a
well-informed American or Eng
lish-speaking Greek guide, climb
ed the hills and inspected the his
toric ruins of the Acropolis.
In some instances,- the naval
rubber-neck parties were enliv
ened by the presence of good-look
ing Greek girls, who had been
previously selected by the YMCA
officials from good Greek families
to add zest to the activities.
~ Chaplain John B. McPherson of
Provo, Utah, aboard the amphibi
ous attack transport Winston, was
pleased by the whole show. “Thank
heaven,” he said, “none of the
boys was heard to say, ‘This is
just a big heap of rocks.””
Chaplain McPherson’s remark
indicates that all is not peaches
and cream on these conducted
tours. The American sailor is an.
individualist given to planning his
own shore leave activities.
Faced with this possibility bel=
ligerent attitude, the YMCA men
and Navy brass have done won
ders in getting many of the sailors
to take the tours. What is even
more surprising is that a big per
centage is enjoying them.
- The YMCA men are sensible
enough not to confine the recrea
‘tional shore activities to conducted
tours. Whenever it is possible, they
hire local dance halls and invite
a select group of native girls to
the dances. There the blue jacket,
given good music and refined fem
inine manners for an evening, is
almost without exception a model
of good behavior.
Among other activities are thea
ter parties to legitimate stage pro
‘ duction in London. Paris and
Rome, and even opera parties in
Milan.
It has already been shown that
a drop in the VD rate parallels
this increase in recreational pro
gramming. |
Diplomats
Says Admiral Forrest P. Sher
man, Commander of the Mediter
ranean Fleet: “The recreational
programming also helps to make
our American youths top-rank
}diplomats. As representatives of
Uncle Sam abroad, they are leav
ing more friends and good will
toward the States than ever could
be credited to their fathers and
grandfathers.”
Even the admirals themselves
are’ beginning to read their own
enlistment posters. Instead of as
'signing an enlisted man to a cargo
ship sailing back and forth be
tween Norfolk and the Panama
Canal for three years, the admir
als are taking seriously the slo
gan: “Join the Navy and see the
| World.” Concerted efforts are be
ing made to let the sailors see du
ty in many parts of the world dur
ing their terms of enlistment.
~ The admirals are not entirely
unselfish in pursuing this policy,
for some high-ranking officers are
‘benefitting by it, too. Two admir
‘als, here with the Sixth Task
Fleet, had never been in the Medi
terranean before this January. One
had never before crosséd the At
lantic, while the other had flown
the Atlantic once during World
War II on a secret naval mission.
Both had spent their long years
of sea duty in the far reaches of
the Pacific.
This new outlook in the Navy
gets the personal attention of the
top officers every day. When the
Sixth Task Fleet steamed into the
harbor near Athens, it was joined
by the carrier Tarawa, arriving

HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE EXPERTS
GET HEART CLOSE-UP PICTURES
CLEVELAND —(NEA)— What
causes high blood pressure, hard- |
/ing of the arteries and their al- |
lied heart diseases? |
That’s the multi-million-dollar |
question which faces the Amer- |
ican Foundation for High Blood
Pressure. At a recent conference |
of the Foundation's medical ad
visory board, 29 specialists in hy
wertension (high blood pressure) |
and cardio-vascular diseases met,
swapped notes, shook their heads
and departed. They were general
1y agreed that the problem would
require another million dollars
this year, with still no promise of
any cures. .
But the medical brain-trust did
furnish a few leads into the dis
eases which kill more than 600-
000 Americans each year.
Most striking of the new devel
opments was a new technique of
photographing the living heart,
and its surrounding arteries, with
eut disturbing its normal function.
IThis had never been done before.
The process described by Dr.
Meyer Friedman of San Francis
co, has been used successfully on
animals in the past year. Through
the use of convict colunteers. Dr.
Friedman, Dr. Felix Perle and
their associates hope to perfect
the technique in another year for
use on humans as a conclusive
test for coronary disease.
“Its value lies chiefly in diag
nosis,” said Dr. Friedman. ‘“To
day, 50 per cent of coronary dis
ease can be diagosed only by the
case history of the patient.”
Far from announcing a cure for
hypertension, several of the doc
tors tended to minimize the ad
vantage of one highly-publicized
treatment—the low-salt and rice
diet.
l Dr. William Goldring of New
| York and his associates reported
| that patients on this diet for as‘
long as 90 days showed no signifi
cant change in blood pressure lev- ‘
el, and some suffered adverse ef
fects on the function of the Kkid
neys.
Dr. Henry A. Schroeder of the
1 \
Washington University School of
Medicine concentrated on the
“psychosomatic” factor in hyper
tension —the relation of mental
stress to high blood pressure. He
said that two types of personalj
ties are particularly prone to
hypertension; the subnormal-as
sertive personality, of which the
“timid soul” might be termed
representative, and the obsessive
compulsive type —the man with
an “inner drive.”
He outlined a theory in which
mental disturbahce is a keéy to
hypertension. Briefly, mental or
emotional stresses result in bodily
tensions, which in turn produce
a reduced blood flow through the
kidneys — a coydition known as
“ischemia.”
The kidneys then develop a
chemical substance which increas
es the blood pressure strains the
heart, speeds up hardening of the

Why “BC” Relieves Headache
‘and Neuralgia So Quickly
® Many people wonder what there
is about the “BC” formula that en
ables it to relieve simple headaches,
neuralgic pains and minor muscular
aches so quickly. The answer is sim

Tablets you get the full reliel-giving
effectiveness of not just one, but ser
eral of the world's most popular pain

arteries, and contributes to kid
ney disease, Although the pres
ence of this substance has been
recognzied, it is in such minute
quantities that eftorts to isolate
and study it have failed. '
Dr. Schroeder pointed out in
defense of the psychosomatic
theory that hypertension is a “eiv
ilized” ailment — African Zulus
and Australian Bushmen don’t
get it. Yet among American busi
nessmen and executives, it is al
most an occupational disease.
Despite the obvious psychologi
cal implications, Dr. Schroeder
doesn’t think that any widespread
use of psychoerapy in th e treat
ment of sypertension is in the
offing, at least in advanced cases.
He believes the defects in person
ality are too fundamental to be
remedied on the psychoanalyist’s
couch. g 4
The doctors have returned to
their laboratories for more testing,
probing and compiling. -But high
blood pressure and accompanying
diseases continue to take their
toll, which predictions say will
reach a million a year in the U,
S. by 1960.
Remember this important fact the
next time you have a headache. Also
remember that when taken as direct
ed, “BC” can be safely used. “BC”
has stood the test of time. It is a
preparation you can use with com
plete confidence. You'll find that
nothing is more comforting or re
lieves faster, And now you may have
“BC" in either tablet or powder form.
In both you get the same famous
“BC" formula—the same fast relief.
