The case of the Mining Ear
By BOB WABD
We see by the papers wihere; orders
I have gone out to a l i branches of the
Canadian Army decreeing -that 'Der
fence Iifinister Ralph' Campney'spic-ture
Tvhich shows two ears has to be
taken down from 'ali offlces, messes;
Icanteens, or elsewihere.'
In Its place, according to the De-
I partment of National Defence;direc-tive,
there is to be 'liung a new «port-
I rait' -vvhich 'shows one ieax only.' This
advice has gone : out - to - some 25
branches of the
Imands, • a l i .ari
heads of branches, jicp^^heads ^of
hranchesi deputy hejid$' of|b: fA s h^
Täe directive states i n part (2)t
I The approved portrait is three
quarter face, that is, i t shows one^ear
|<mly,".
As one taxpayei; we ithought. whe»
I ve read the new5 item that .we ^äiould
straightaway write V to: the-i^Def ence
Dept. and -register .OUT; iindignation;
at 'one ear only'f of the Defence OMin-r
to being displayedivin .'«lluofficesj
I messes, canteens,.c or elsewhere.'
How, we pondered,; would- anyone
I hiow just whose ear i t was that was
[being displayed?
And if they did know whose e a r
I It was, what reaction would a por^'
trait ,of the (Defence !M3nister's ear
produce i n the 'offices, messes, can
1 teens,' and particularly, fel3ewhi6re.'
WouIdn't this .create-the Impresr
laon that someone was listening s^ll
the time? And wouldn't this i n t um
cause a lot of folk to Just stop t a i k'
mg? And particularly so. when no
one could realliy teli Just whose ear-
[tt was that was:listening.in,
Coz after a l i , ears are ears. When
I ears are attached to a face thevway
I they sliould be we' can usually r e -
ccgnize the face i f we know it.* P a r t i ­cularly
if it's a timestudy man, the
bos3, someone we owe: money to,: or;
il we're: lucky enough, someone who
|owes money to tis;
But an ear ali by itself makes i t
I mighty hard to recognize Just whom
It belongs to. iLike' the fellow 'said,
r n i e face is familiar; but I-can't
|remember the handles."
A later issue o f the papers helped
I «3 a bit with this ear dilemma.
: Por these showed two pictures of the
I Defsnce l-linister. One picture is a
»rt pf a dead-on shOt which shows
the Ministcr has two ears sticking out
on either side of h i s heäd" to hpld his
I Jlasses on. ^ '
The second portrait is the one
I»hich 'shows one ear- oiily,'. .iBut
actually the Dept. of National Defcn-
I ce letter was somewhat wrong: coz
Öiepicture really ähows the f a c e of
|thea3efence Minister, -But. his face
tumed sideways-SO that we only
I ' o n e ear.' And this makes i t *look
Uke-his giasses hang on Just 'one
jear,' '
Of course, this 'ear Is a n cptlcal
Ulusfon, because toe really does 'Jjave
I '^o ears as shown ta the first p l c -
'»e, and not just 'pne eär only* as In
I 'he letter and the second Dicture. '
Now it's pretty hard for us o r d l -
citizens to flgure out Just wh^
*e Ehould be put to aU the' cxtra
I JJense of hanging the Defence M i n -
,8ter~hls portrait, that Is ~ i a - aU
elflccs, messes, cantcens, and clsc-
[»hcre,'
^ t should be a pprty.costl^^Itcm
"> we taxpayer. A n d f o r the- l ^ e ; of
I "S we can't figure out vrtiy the De-i^
nce.Minister^s 'one'ear"oniy' jkar-
I m toprovem^t PYCT l * e one
showing •two ears.' But as i n most
cases involving the taxpapers': money
~ it's'only oxir money anyway.:'- •
<Now grant you it might be that
the/ Defence Minister reckons that
his one 'ear; is more photogenic than
fother one; or. for that ma^tier than
both of 'jem together.
Ihat,. of cojurse, is his earogative.
, And i f be was spending hds own
money no one'would give a, drum
if he fäncled a picture :.8höwing one

that niäyJiap "the • Öefence'''Minister
feels that'the *o'ne-'car;oidy'^ picture

from the history t h a t we remember
that 'Horatio iNeison always looked
through his spy glass wlth: h i s blind
eye
T h e n Napoleon always Kept his left
hand tucked inside his shirt. This,
we read somewhere/ was because he
had an Itcäiy spot on h i s right side.
Otherj hlstorical figures seem to
like to 1)0 snapped on a horse, or with
ä dog. And'we a;!;ways f ancied these
pictures because anhnals are so dam
photogenic.
.One' angle worth noting about the
Defence Minister's ycn i n , portraits
is that the ear he favors is his lef t
ear.
!Wlhether this has any poStical
overtones or not is something. v h i ch

i n «he high cpuncils of a l i the oppo­sition
parties.
• ?össibly the Defence-Minister has
startcd a n ear-a, which some day wUl
be referred to as 'leftearism.'
But regardless of the outcome of
th^ whole matter politically; n o r no
matter where the Minlster's 'one ear

we can be sure, for sure -

A CÖRRiESP<>M)gOT WRITES^F^ TIBET
Crossing th€'Roof of the World'
I' ' B y ALAN'WINNINGTON
I am the first British, correspond-ä
i t to come here along the new motor
roads across the» roof of the World,
to drive itito Iihasa5-'i^ro«^\:iheI eästj
to visit a l i Tibefs maln'^itfes:'"" ' •
. Until these roads-rhighest i n the
.World —-'werecompleted last year,
there vere no wheeled vehlcles. A
traveller walked or rode on horse-
•t>ack. The trip I am making would
haAre. t a k e n ; a year or. more. :.
.'Now it is possible to get most of the
way to; I^hasa by public transport-^
'plane, rail and bus that covers 800
miles and crosses eight. major moun-tain
ranges to Chamdo.
But for convenience I am using a
Sovlet jeep that can manage even
these mountains mostly i n top gear. .
A "small"/ and dangerous moimtain
pass — oniy twice as high as B en
Nevis — has to be crossed, before the
real climb on to. the Tibetan plateau
begins.
: Halfwayi itp is Kanting. very much
a frontier town, where Hans and T i -
betans live side by side and speak
both languages. Long-haired 'Tit>etan
clan lairds andhunters stroU around
with8words across their waists and
rifles on their backs.
From the moment that you leaye
IKanting and its earthquakes, and
cross the iDzala Pass at about 14,000
feet. the Tibetian Plateau begins;
The real Tibetan grasslands start
after passing the first state farm.es-tablished
i n Tibet by the'Pteople's
Army; and another: mountain .range
where only the hairy, lumbering T ir
betan. yakr-cousinv tdi the buffalo-rr;
can really survive, work and give
wool and milk.
From tliat polnt the 'routc only
dips once below 10,000 feet for a' fQ,W
m i l e s . T h e . : jeep piurs along.. the
smooth road at 30 miles an bourfrom
one plain 6urro'unded by mountains,
through little passes : to the next
plain, hour after liour.
Tibet is (high, but southerly: i ts
border is o n l y . 300 miles north of
8weltering CalcUtta. It has a di-!
versity of scene and cllmate thatpror
bably cannot be matched.
A l i the beauty. spotS' ofr the >worId,
Britain's Lake District, 8witzerland,
Arizona and the 43erman forests, the
Bocky Mountains—have their coun-terj^
rts far more liberally displayed
in Tibet.

Lorries pass. and .wave-rÄll;carrying
the siga "'Safety First."
On top of Chula Mountain we
pass the Cliengtu-Ohambo bus, and
later a group of Tibetans waitiiig for
it at a road maintenance station.
Tiny, but important: Ohamdo, the
first real Tibetan town -on the road,
is reacheid fay crossing 50 miles of
plateauat 15,000 feet and there great
jnountains.
After the last mountato pass there
is aU)almost sheer drc^ of 4.300 feet
to, the city. I t is a hairpin road to
end ali hairpins. F r om the top you
can see the road winding like a drop-ped
rope to wliat appears to be the
valley.
: Driving down an hour i n low gear
you think you have reached the böt-t
o m . T h e n . you t um a comer and
find that the road: goes on spinning
down another; sheer drop far below
to the Mekong River and Chamdo.
; O n ; t h e way.down' there is plehty
of: time to examine the: little town,
spread.out foelow like « n air-photo.
Dominating i t is the monastery rwith
its golden roofs. The rest of the town

Brundage Objed
Of Ridicule
Avery Brundage of Chicago, presl-dent
of the International i Olympic
Committeo, was ridiculed as "tatcr-nationaliports
bore n:o 1" because of
•his 'i^ea that;less national stress be
placed on the Olympic Qames.
Peter Wilson, sport columnist f o r
T h e liondon Daily Mirroncbargcd
Brundage's .views atemmed, from a
fear thje United States wm not win
the 1956 Olympics at Melbourne.
Brundage wrote a letter r^c^ling
that the' Olympic rules descfibe the
games as a competitlon: among indi-^
viduals.- and "must not become a
competitlon among nations." Brund­age
was e&pecially opposed to the
unofficialteam point standhigs that
are computed during the games.
"Mr. Brundage is that man who
lets HIS consclence be the athletes
of the world's guide," V^ilson wrote.
"If he is not kicking up a row in
Melbourne about the preparation for
the games, he i s likely .to be mtxed
up i n some witch-hunt about the
expenses of a hop,, step.and jumper,
In Oshkosh, Wis."
As to Brundage's plea the Olympics
'must not become a competitlon
among nations." ..Wilson scoffed:
"Poppycock,; tarradiddle and gobbr
ledcgook!"
' L i t t l e Luxembourg was proud and
rightly proud of winnlng the 5,000
meters, one of: the prcstlge eventSj at
Helsinki i n 1952," Wiison wrote.
"If this were not Chrlstmas week
and I were not trying desperately—
but I fear unsuccessfully—to be kind
to Mr. Brundage and other fine
feathered friends; I should point out

A year ago Sugar h i t the comeback
trail, and found the gohig plenty

clucked the experts.
.With two wins and a loss under
h& belt, Robinson was g l v e n a ahot
at the tltle^heldby one C a r l CBobo^;
Olson^ who had rccently iried: to step
up into the lighthcavywcight'ranks
and had his brains bclted out by
ancient A r d i i e Moore."
What effect d i d this kayo by Moore
have on ^Bobo? And did he train
f o r the Robinson bout, or'was he
more coiicemed about his: mixed-up
home life? These questions are Im­portant
because Olson looked pretty
bad the other night when Sugar Ray
droppcd him for the full count i n

The middlcweight division is a
fairly new one i n boxing, for i t was
not recognized until 1884, when the
first title bout i n the 16Q-pound class
was held i n Toronto.;ContestantS:for
theworld title were the. orlgtnal Jack
Dempsey. 'The Nonparcil,^' and
George Pulljames.' They used heavy
driving: glovesinstead of bare fisls,
whlch were then i n vogue, and Demp­sey
stopped Ful'James i n the 22nd
stanza.
I n 1891 Dempsey-lost the title to
Bob Fltzsimmonus 1h a eavage 13-
rounder at New Orleans. F i t z , who
became heavyweight champsix years

New Methods of Treating Heart Ailments
Prcgress i n medical science comes
i n varled forms and under widely
differing circumstances,: Sometimes,
as i n tlie ;case of the. polio vaccine,
progress appears i n the form of; a
dramatic, ' apparcntly sudden,. dis-covery.
In such cases ;wegenerally,
^though far from accuralely credit
the finding to one man, a Scientific
hero like Jonas Salk.
More often; however, progress comes
by sIow; painstakhig steps, steps..taken
by majjy men In many: laboratories.
£Uch *s the case with the contiyuing
progress against disease» pf the heaxt
and blood vcssels, a group of ailments
whidh account for over onc-half of
a l i deaths i n the United States today.
IThe recent meeting i n New Orleans
of the American Heart Association
af forded ah opportunity .for many
different scientists to report on their
progress during the i m t year. It is
not a sensatlonal or dramatic report
but i t is an encouraging one. SUb-stantial
galns have been made In
treatment: techniqucs, i n cardiovas-cular
Buigcry: and i n the disoovery
of new dnigs to treat 'liardening of
the ""arterics bWod clots; heart a t -
taeis, high b!s>od prcscure and other
d r o i l a t o t y 'ailments.
For example a team of resec^rchers
at Baylor -.University, Houston, re-!
ported their: expcriences: wlth; a new
drug to lower btood prcssure., T h e
drug, known as mecamylaminci ap­pears
to be more :depfendable'tlian
previously iknown agents reducing
blood pressure'. Like earlier drugs,
it works by tAocking of f nerve Im-pulses
that tend to constrict blood
vcssels ' and elevate blood pressurc.
«owever, because It is oompletely
absoi«ed by the system,unlike other
blood prcssure drugs which are only
partlally abeorbed> mecamylamine has
a more conslstent^ effect: and Its do*
sagcs can be regulated more exactly.
Risks of over or undcrdosage äre
therefore greatly reduced.
Another gain i n the fight against
circulat<>ry ailments was reported by
a Bosf<?n Scientist. Dr. Mario Ste­fanini
told the A H A : meeting that
an enzyme derived trom streptocoocl.
the same germs that are responsible
for SO many iOncsses, has proved to
be an effectlve weapon against some
fomis of blood clots. The Boston
physlcians iised the enzyme — fstrepr.
tokinass - streptodomase" — against
blood clots i n the legs, abdomen and
eye and In ^nostcase the elot» were
dissolved, and the danger of a serioua
heart attack or "strctoj" iMsened or
eliminated.
Use of adrendl hormones. like cor-t'.
soi^e, has been found to be a means
of combating cases of- shock follow-
Ing a heart attaok. This dlscovedy
by a V/aahlngton, D,0. speclali«t may
save a number of Itves i n cases where
patlents after «urvlvlng a heart at­taok
suffer f rom acute shock, a somc-tUncs
fatalcompllcation.
(New surgical technlques are also
being developed. For example, one
nejxHTt wa« made on foehalf of a
gnoup of Minneapolis siirgeonswho
in the past year and one-4mlf ha/vc
operated o n children with heart de-fects,
n s l n g a «ystem knowon as
"crofis-ciroulatton". This tcchniipie
Involves 1 connccMng: the clrculaiory
systcm of a child with that of an
adult, usually one of the parents, so
that the chlld's blood Is shunted away
from its heart and lungs.
. As a rcsult, the suigeon Is able
to mend the heart dcfect wlthoui

his hands. .Of the 43 children opera»
