GROVER WHALEN, NEW
YORK GREETER, PASSES
NEW YORK W — Grover A.
Whalen, 75, who symbolized New
York for many years as the city’s
official greeter, died today.
A debonair figure who made the
boutonniere his own. personal
trademark, Whalen was best known
as Mayor James Walker’s front
man in the welcoming of celebri
ties to New York during the roar
ing 20’s.
Actually, Whalen was far more
than a figurehead. He was a suc
cessful department store executive
whom Walker drafted in 1928 to
serve as police commissioner. He
waged a war on speak-easies and
gambling dens and led a number
of ax raids on such properties.
Then, a decade later, Whalen
served as president of the New
York World’s Fair of 1939-40 and
was so successful that the late
President Franklin D. Roosevelt
was moved to declare:
“Grover is the best salesman in
the world.”

Rickey said investigating officers

lets. There was no further explan

IN SEQUAL TO THE CASE
OF THE GOLD-PLATED BED
ACCRA, Ghana W — President
Kwame Nkrumah has fired high
living Krobo Edusei as Minister of
Industries and may have him jailed,
informed sources said yesterday.
It’s a sequal to the case of the
gold-plated bed.
Edusei returned to Accra Wed
nesday after spending several days
in London in a fruitless attempt
to persuade his wife, Mary, to re
turn to a London department store
the glittering $8,400 bed that critics
called an affront to Ghana’s aus
terity program. She had bought it
and insisted on keeping it.
Mrs. Edusei stayed in London,
where she has a $60-a-day suite
at a west end hotel.
Edusei’s dismissal from his $13,
500-a-year cabinet post climaxed a
wave of criticism in this struggling
West African state against his ex
travagant habits.
The flamboyant ex-minister, 47,
now faces the possibility of im
prisonment under an act he piloted
through the National Assembly
four years ago when he was Minis
ter of tho Interior. Thp art stinn

lated that Ghanaians could be held
without trial for an initial period
of five years.
Reports here maintain that Edu
sei, known as “Crowbar” because
of the toughness with which he
handled opponents of Nkrumah’s
regime, has acquired properties
estimated worth $1,400,000.
His new luxury home in Accra,
estimated to have cost more than
$165,000, has been confiscated by
the government. The informants
said another of his properties in
this city will also be taken over.

The ordinary pineapple plant, so prominent in the romantic his
tory of the Pacific islands, has provided medical science with a new
drug that is proving dramatically useful in the treatment of black
eyes, bruises,* sprains, boils and other inflammatory conditions.
The pineapple as a medicine is grounded in ancient folklore. The
jaxtxj a Auuiaug ux x jtut
example, made a concoction from
the stem of the plant for use in
dysentery. In this country, at
the turn of the century pineapple
juice was a common home rem
edy for “clearing the throat”—
ridding it of mucous concentra
tions. The juice has supposedly
been used successfully for
worms, lice, scurvy, tonsilitis,
diphtheria, bed sores, corns and
boils.
But it was left to modern medi
cal science to determine the real
value of pineapple as a therapeu
tic agent, and to produce a clin
ically valuable product. We now
know that there may have been
something to the ancient beliefs,
for the pineapple plant contains
one of nature’s true wonders,
and great mysteries, an enzyme.
Specifically, it is bromelain.
Enzymes are the chemical ma
chinery that make the body
work; they are essential to life,
and are found in all living things.
There are many hundreds of en
zymes and each performs a speci
fic duty. Bromelain, it was found,
destroys fibrin, the body’s “ma
terial that walls off an injured
or infected area. While this wall
has certain value, it also prevents
antibodies and nutrient fluids
from getting into the inflammed
area to combat infection.
The body has a chemical that
eventually breaks down the fi
brin wall, but this may take days
or even weeks. For example, a
black eye will usually dear in
about 10 days, with swelling sub
siding slowly. The pineapple en
; syme product, called Ananase,
} substitutes for the body’s natural
chemical and will clear up a
black eye in about three days,
with the swelling going down in
one.
A carbuncle is an infection
that has been walled off by the
body’s natural defenses. It be
comes swollen and painful and
will not be relieved until drained.
The enzyme, taken in tablet
form, works from within to pen*
etrate the wall. The area ia
drained internally, swelling sub
sides and pain is relieved. The
body can then begin to heal the
damaged area. In this sense, the
new drug can be called a “chem
ical surgeon.”
Ananase, sold only on prescrip
tion, is also used as part of the
treatment for athletic injuries,
including fractures. Boxer*
