REPORTS prom the united states senate
OP i
THE LITTLE ISLAND of Okinawa, about four-fifths the size
of Rhode Island, came under United States control in June, 1945
following one of the bloodiest battles in the Pacific during the
final months of World War 11.
Approximately 12,500 Americans died and 37,000 were wounded
in fighting to take Okinawa, which was considered a major stepping
stone toward victory over Japan.
Since that time, with the stripping of Japan of its ocean empire,
Okinawa has remained by treaty under the primary jurisdiction of
the United States. Although Okinawa went down in history as one
of the greatest and most costly battles in World War 11. it is far
more than just a battleground shrine today.
* » »
OKINAWA IS VITAL TO OUR defenses in the Pacific, the
Far East, and Southeast Asia. It is important not only to the United
States, but to Japan and many other nations in this part of the
world as well.
It is a major staging area for Vietnam, as it was for Korea. Its
air bases handle B-52 aircraft, and Polaris submarines can be
serviced at its naval stations. It is a storehouse for nuclear weapons
and delivery systems.
Okinawa provides a Counter-force against Soviet occupation of
the Kurile Islands to the north of Japan, which give the Commu
nists excellent bases for far-reaching submarine operations in the
Pacific.
In short, Okinawa is extremely valuable to military security in
Asia and the Pacific. Under present world conditions, the position
we hold there ought not to be jeopardized.
* » *
THE PRESIDENT HAS NEGOTIATED an agreement with
Japan that for all practical purposes would remove Okinawa from
United States control. In my judgment, it would be extremely fool
hardy to make such a move. Reversion of Okinawa is not in the
best interests of the United States or of Japan.
Japan has no military defenses. In fact, it has none because for
24 years it has basked under a security umbrella provided by the
United States. And, because Japan has not had to spend for defense
or to turn its industry toward military production, it has become
the third-ranking industrial-commercial nation in the world.
The Japanese government has been under tremendous pressure
from Communists and leftists to get Okinawa back. But we should
not have to succumb to that pressure, and I hope that the Senate
will reverse the President on his plans to return Okinawa to Japan.

THE DISCOVERY OF ETHER
A diorama depicts the first use of ether as an anesthetic by Dr.
Crawford Long in 1842. It shows the crude office of the 19th
century country doctor, and in the distance can be seen the
Jefferson town square, not too much changed a century later.

TOUR
GEORGIA
ATLANTA (PRN)- The
Crawford Long Memorial
Museum, located in Jefferson,
is dedicated to the memory of
the Georgia country doctor
who first discovered ether’s
pain deadening qualities, and
to the history of man’s
struggle to conquer pain.
Jefferson is a quaint,
country town now, remote
from the hurry-scurry of the
frenetic 20th century,
although on a major U.S.
highway --129.
Today, the use of ether in
modem surgery is common,
but in 1841, it was unknown.
Operations were painful, and
surgery a court of last resort.
This was changed in 1841,
when the 19th century,
Georgia country doctor
discovered and used ether for
painless surgery.
It’s an interesting facet of
history. Small town social life
was dull in 1841 when Dr.
Long returned to Jefferson.
But someone had devised a
means of livening up parties.
And how! It had become
fashionable to inhale nitrous
oxide (laughing gas) at social
gatherings. The individual
reactions were always unusual
and often uninhibited.
Soon Dr. Long was
approached by a group of
young men planning a “gas
party.” Lacking the
ingredients for making nitrous
oxide, Dr. Long suggested the
same effects could be obtained
by inhaling sulphuric ether
fumes. The party givers agreed
to the substitute.
Interested in the possible
effects, Dr. Long attended the
“gas party,” and noticed
surprising results. Those
inhaling a small amount of
ether acted silly, as if they’d
inhaled laughing gas. However,
those inhaling larger amounts
staggered and fell, but no
matter how hard the fall, no
one reported feeling any pain.
Reputedly one guest
attempted to climb the walls.
He failed to defy the laws of
gravity, but injured himself so
seriously Dr. Long give him
first aid. To the Doctor’s
amazement, the would-be wall
climber could remember no
sensation of pain.
After watening a number of
other “ether gas parties,” Dr.
Long concluded ether had
anesthetic qualities, and might
offer a means of painless
surgery. On March 30, 1842,
he tested his theory by
removing a cyst from the neck
of James Venable. Ether was
an anesthetic! Venable
confirmed this after the
operation when he declared he
felt no pain during surgery.
The great moment in the
history of surgery is depicted
by a diorama showing Dr.
Long performing the
operation in his crude, 19th
century office.
The Georgia, country
doctor used ether for
numerous other minor
operations and amputations
without publishing his
findings. Trained to collect
adequate evidence before
making a final decision, Dr.
Long declined to push his
discovery in medical circles.
Four years later, he
unwittingly became involved
in a controversy over the
discover of ether’s anesthetic
qualities when William
Morton, a Boston dentist, used
ether as a pain killer for tooth
extractions.
The Museum is open daily
from 10 a.m. until 5 p.m.,
except on Monday. Open
Sunday 2 p.m. until 5 p.m.
Jefferson is located on U.S.
129, 17 miles northwest of
Athens, the home of the
University of Georgia.
Card of Thanks
My sincere appreciation to
those who expressed their
sympathy and understanding,
due to the recent loss of my
daughter.
May God bless each of you.

Two-Faced F loorcovering
“Doubling in brass”, an
old show business term,
means taking more than one
part. Now there’s a carpet
that does just that-“ Weathe
r by Bigelow-Sanford.
Equally at home indoors or
out, this beautiful carpet of
tough Celanese olefin yarn
withstands the elements with
the same aplomb that it does
undercover.
Unlike other indoor-outdoor
carpets, “Weather-Tuff” ac
tually looks like carpet. It
has a lustrous, dense high
low pile and comes in five
high fashion colorations. Il
is an ideal carpet for heavy
traffic areas where safety is
a factor suf h as family, chil
dren’s and play rooms, pa
tios, terraces, pool areas
and kitchens.
Before the turn of the cen
tury hooked rugs or pieces of
Brussels carpet were often
used in front of stoves, sinks
and kitchen work tables to
reduce fatigue. Today, com
pletely carpeted kitchens are
growing in popularity.
Covering a kitchen with
carpeting made of Celanese
now polypropylene olefin
yarn is as practical as it is
luxurious looking resisting
moisture and spills and when
necessary cleans easily.
This truly two-faced floor
covering minimizes serious
injuries to the scratched and
cut knee brigade, and will
cushion baby's first steps.
The older set will enjoy the
luxury and safety of com
plete indoor-outdoor carpet
ing, too. (NP Features)

The winners of
the encyclopedia
sets for this week
are: George R.
Hagan, who
< wants to know:
■ ■ “Can the arma
dillo be traced to prehistoric
times?”
The armadillo is, indeed, an an
cient form of life. Fossil remains
of gigantic, extinct armadillos have
been found in the Pleistocene geo
logic strata in South America.
That was what is known as the Ice
Age, extending from about one
million to 12.000 years ago.
Mrs. R. Robens whose question
is:
“When and where were the first
Olympic Games held?”
Athens, Greece, was the site of
the first modern Olympic Games in
1896. But the Olympic Games were
actually a revival of the Olympian
Games which originated in remote
antiquity. The first official list of
victors began in 776 B.C.
Lucille .McCandlish, who asks:
“What is a fulgurite and how
is it formed?”
A fulgurite is a vertical tube
with fused walls. It is formed in
sand or rock by the passage of
lightning. The Latin word for light
ning is fulgur.
