One night Dr. Bove was summoned to see the son of 3 Jamey forty miles from Paris, e found the eight-year-old lad choking to death with a block- age of the windpipe. When he left Paris the surgeon had not anticipated surgery and hadn't an instrument with him. He borrowed a razor and two hairpins. He sterilized his hands in bran- dy and fashioned the hairpins into clamps to keep open the -- hole he cut in the throat of the boy. Later the boy was rushed to 'hospital -- and survived, The man who tirst kinked the prongs of his wife's hairpins be- cause when straight they kept dropping out of her hair was enterprising Mr, 8. Goldberg. He found that after being bent the ping remained in place no mat- er how much she shook her ead. Goldberg became known as America's Hairpin King. He #in- ished up with a fortune of many millions.

Agents of Chiang Kal-shek's Formosa government tell you happily that the gap is widen- ing between Red China's army and the people. To : preserve his power, Mao is giving the military luxuries at the expense of the people. "Before everything else in China," one Chinese reporter said, "comes the family. It is traditional for overseas Chinese to send money home to their families, even if they haven't Hen each other for 50 years. This all makes for bad feeling. "All the more so as the army Js growing older and officers and men are being retired to their homes and starvation." Agriculture experts, reading, Hstening and discussing Mao's land reform program in the ideal Jom in which it reaches Hong ong, are frankly amazed. "He's got them planting sweet {oration instead of rice. It's per- tly logical. Rice requires far more hands to oultivate. With sweet potatoes you free men and women for try.

Alternate-day shelling of these islands has continued since then. His gunnery crews are in ex- cellent form, But with the Southeast Asia Treaty Organization on his south flank, the Fifth and Thirteanth Air Forces at the ready from Manila to Tokyo, and the Seventh Fleet patrolling his shoreline, Mao's army is. used only to haggle over the Indian border.

"Without the turmo of military campaigns, you can probably hear the' grinding in- ternal problems quite clearly," In addition, China's ill-wishers tind new signs of disagreement between Mao and Xhrushchev each day. Taken all together, it should add up to the beginnings of re- volution inside Peiping, it not all of China -- all the more likely with China's ancient tra- ditdlon of rival provinces and warlords. BR would be comforting to think so. But seasoned army and intelligence men here laugh at the idea. "You Americans," one British intelligence officer said, "must get awfully tired running be- tween the poles of admitting Red China to the U.N. and walit- ing for an overthrow of her government." The closest anybody will come in reliable Hong Kong observa- tion posts to predicting internal irouble for Mao is, in the words of one U.S. political expert: "Three successive years of fa- mine -- and then, maybe. But only maybe. And three years like that come very seldom. "As for the refugees: 300 per week isn't much compared with 650 million Chinese still inside.

To examine the Soviet experi- ments on 60 million people with Sabin live-virus vaccine, the Na- tional Foundation recently sent two representatives to Moscow; One was Dr. John P, Fox of the Publjc Health Research Institute of the City of New York; the other, Dr. Theodore E. Boyd, head of virology and epidemiol- ogy for the National Foundation. Last month, the scientists re- turned to New York with their report. The gist of it: The Sabin vaccine is promising, but its real worth has not been, fully demon- strated. 1-4 "So far as we are concerned, guaranty of the effectiveness of the vaccine is till a problem," said Dr. Fox. "For example, find- ing that polio antibodies appear in' the blood stream after vac- cination is presumptive evidence that the person has been immun- ized. But this requires a strict laboratory test, not now practi- cal in Russia on a mass scale. And the trouble is, 'live : polio virus does not always 'take'." Currently, the Sabin vaccine is being tested in Ohio and New York; and another live vaccine, made by Cox-Lederle, is under- going large-scale trial in Florida, Minnesota, and New York. "There is strong evidence that the live-polio vaccines may turn out to be more effective than killed-virus vaccines in controll- ing polio," said Dr. Thomas M. Rivers, former Rockefeller Insti- tute virologist, now vice presi- dent of the National Foundation, "But responsible sclentific evi- dence favors caution and further testing." . Albert Sabin, who- also has just returned from Russia, said: "In live-polio vaccine, medical sci- ence has a tool which may rid large parts of the world of both poliomyelitis and its causative viruses. But whether the U.S. public-health authorities will now use this tool is a question only the future can answer." --From NEWSWEEK famous painter Hilaire Degas en this new stamp. What's Gnu? It's impossible ta keep gnus out of the news. These strange © greatures -- their other name is wildebeest -- are among the ugliest in the world. They have short, broad heads, long hairy tails and manes, and broad, heavy. horns rather like those of a buflalo. Their eyes are small and their general appear- ance is uncouth and ungainly. Gnus hit the news headlines again when it- was recently an- nounced that a baby gnu was the first new arrival of 1960 at Whip- snade Zoo. A bull brindled gnu which ar- rived at Whipsnade some years ago had to be kept away from the public by a double fence be- dause he was so menacing. The authorities considered him the worst-tempered gnu seen there since the days of Satan, another temperamental brindled gnu who had lived there some years previously, One of Satan's favorite ways scaring visitors se keepel's ke was t0 hide in his shed un. 1 he heard someone. Then he'd ge out, snorting, and glare ercely, When the Duke of Windsor, as Prince of Wales, shot a particu- larly large specimen of the blue gnu in South Africa, Mr..C. Les- tock Reid, an expert on gnus, described them as "the most curious-looking beasts in crea- tion. He said a gnu has the head of a buffalo, the tall of a horse, the hoofs of an' antelope, the nose of a Roman, the beard of a goat and the solemnity of an owl, coupled with an elephantine skittishness which gives a remarkably foolish effect. Yet gnus are not such fools as they look. Big game hunters testify that when hunted their faculty for sensing and avolding the cleverest ambush is phenom- enal, Nor are they as clumsy as they look. Gnus owe their reputation partly to their voices wheh are like the croaking of a gigantic frog, but chiefly to their inqui- sitiveness which often causes a whole herd to gallop up and in- spect the very man who is in- tending to shoot them.

Two Australians camped on & barren island off Cape York Peninsula, Queensland, One died, the other endured weeks of terror for the sake of a few hun. dred pounds of wolfram -- tin ore, The :fwo men--Formasini and his mate--depended for stores on the supply ketch Spray, which visited them eyery three months; weather permitting. At first aborigines had brought their drinking water from the mainland, accepting payment in twist tobacco: But later they be- came hostile, so the two diggers had to row across and fetch their water themselves. One would; stand by" their whaleboat, rifle at the ready, while the other stumped. across the beach to a swamp to fill the kerosene tins, The man with the rifle had to cover his mate as he hurried through the tall grass, and at the same time watch' the islet in case the natives raced their canoes across to cut them off. When they did the diggers only just got their first by. blaz- ing away at them with rifles. Then the natives tried to steal the boat, and the two men had to guard it 'day and night. Then, worst of all, Formasini's mate sickened with. fever. Formasini nursed him, begged him not to die, The sick man, in_ turn, im- plored the other not to leave him. One night, hearing the rattle' of kerohene tins as Formasini set forth 'for water, 'his' mate kept screaming out: "Don't leave me!" He had to be hushed lest his cries betray them both to the watch- ful natives. ; They: were dreadful . nights, Ion L. Idriess says, telling For- masini's story in "The. Tin 'Scratchers": hushing 'the sick man, sneaking to the mangroves with the tins wrapped in bags to deaden 'noise, launching the heavy. boat, pulling. it: to' the mainland - with . muffled . oars, crawling to the swamp and dipp-- ing the tins in the darkest spot 'he: could find, never knowing it a murderous blade would strike 'between his shoulders.

When the supply lug- ger picked him up a week later he was raving, But he survived to tell his story to Idriess when they met. Don't Try To Beat This Eating Record The ' tiny, mouse-like shrew, smallest of all mammals, is 'also the world's most prodigious trencherman. Driven by a. ter- rific metabolism rate, the shrew consumes its own weight in fo every three hours, Mankin cannot match that -- but Ameri- cans are doing their 'best, The average U.S. citizen, the Federal Trade Commission reported last month, eats a total of 1,500 pounds of food each year -- about ten times his weight. Food intake, the FIC survey shows, has not changed very much since the high-on-the-hog boom of '1925-1929 : (actually, it has slipped). But: the 'American diet -has changed drastically in the 1939-1959 period. Today, they are eating 25 percent more meat, "fish, and poultry than: 30 years ~ago; 50 per'cent more citrus fruit 'and tomatoes, 12 per: cent more .dairy. products and eggs, and 31 per cent more coffee, tea, and . cocoa. In the same period, the typical American's consumption of flour and cereal products has de- 'creased 37 per cent, and of po- :tatoes, 33 per cent, the survey shows. "Potatoes are almost cer- tainly down for 'diet 'reasons, Tom Lanahan, a: Department of - Agriculture . .marketing . expert, commented. "Too many calories -- although one of the. phenome- nons of the frozen-food business 'has been the big spurt in' frozen French fries. They lead .the list of frozen foods." Surprisingly, fats and. oils, in- cluding butter, remain at about the same average -- 66 pounds «per; person a year, . Apparently : ignoring the possible relation be- tween fatty foods and harden- ing - of the arteries and. coro- nary attacks, thé American still orders his sirloin' steak with charcoal-blackened succulent fas and asparagus dripping with rich hollandajse sauce.
