Record Heavy Fog
Cont inues Blanket
Over West Europe
LONDON, f/P) — The heaviest
fog in a generation blanketed
western Europe for the fifth con
secutive day today.
Traffic hazards and accidents in
a dozen mist-swatched countries
increased hourly. Planes were
grounded and bus, train and street
car schedules disrupted.
Southampton was an exception,
however. The fog lifted and sun
light gleamed through the clouds.
The British liners Queen Eliza
bet, Queen Mary and Aquitania, j
seized the opportunity to quit the '
docks for voyages to America.
The two Queens are going to
New York, with stops at Cher
bourg, France, where each will i
pick up additional passengers, j
There were 2,890 passengers on j
board the sister ships when they ;
left England. The Queen Mary was ■
a week behind schedule.
Elsewhere in Britain, the fog
hung ov’er cities and countryside.
Conditions in the London area
were described as chaotic. Mem
bers of Parliament bedded down
in the House of Commons. Rail
road stations were jammed with
thousands of stranded travelers I
and commuters.
A crew of London firemen ran
in relays for a mile to guide their
engine to a blaze in a bomb-dam
aged building.
Three British railroad accidents
were set down to the fog. A total
of four persons were killed and 45 1
injured in the accidents.

Natives “Free from
Heart Disease’*'
CAMBRIDGE, Mass., (/P) —In
habitants of the Aleutian Islands
enjoy “almost complete freedom”
from heart diseasees, a Harvard
expedition to the North Pacific is
lands disclosed today.
The expedition, under the direc
tion of Harvard’s Peabody Muse
um, spent last summer in the sub
Arctic area studying the habits,
history and health of the Aleuts,
Mongoloid inhabitants of the bar
ren islands stretching between
North America and Asia.
The expedition’s findings were
announced in a report by the Pea
body Museum.
Taking part in the unusual sci- !
entific study were anthropologists,
orthodontists, cardiologists, ethnol
ogists, archfeologists and linguists.
Dr. Fred Alexander, cardiolo
» •
gist, at Massachusetts Genera^
hospital, examined 132 of the less
than 1,000 natives. He said they
were found to be “almost com
pletely free from heart disease
but that infectious diseases, tuber
culosis and venereal disease, were
taking agreat toll of life.”
Dr. Alexander said “There is a
possibility that diet may be largely
responsible for the absence of
heart disease in the older Aleuts.”
Those findings, reported the ex
pedition leaders, have led scien
tists “t owonder if fish and meat,
the main foods, may be partially
responsible for the small amount
of heart trouble found.”
The dentist on the trip, Dr.
Coenraad Moorrees of Forsyth
Students Practice
“Black Outs”
1 AVA, 111., (/P)—A high school
principal has warned students
they will be expelled from school
if they continue the fad of self
inducted blackouts which ho had
ordered halted.
The blackouts—termed ‘red outs’
by the students were described by
an Ava physician as comparable
to blackouts suffered by fliers in
pulling out of long,steep dives.
In Chicago, Dr. Morris Fishbein,
editor of the Journal of the Amer
ican Medical Association, termed
the practice as evidence of “mass
psychological disturbances which
occur among adolescents from
time to time.”
Ava school officials said in the
method reported used by some stu
dents. the subject kneels, breathes
deeply about 10 times, clasps his
lips tightly around his thumb,
puffs out his cheeks and holds his
breath until he goes into an ap
parent coma.
Hammack said the practice
came to a head when a girl fresh
man blacked herself out 15 times.
dental infirmary, said he found
| the Aleuts “a very rich field for
dental research.”
Dr. Moorrees said examinations
of the teeth of early Aleuts “reveal
that tooth decay did not become
| evident until the 18th century
when Russian fur-traders brought
j in flour, sugar, and other starch
foods.”
Joining with Peabody Museum
i in the study were the Viking Fund
and the Office of Naval Research.
