By JUSTIN RIORDEN A RECENT dissertation in

Dick noted! t h e observa-j tion of George [ Cooley, retired I Chamber of Commerce ex­ecutive secretary, foreman are not well enough in­formed on what to do if a work­er suffers a coronary attack.

One correspondent, who shall remain nameless, claims the lack of knowledge resulted in the death of her father after he suffered a heart attack in a local plant, »

*. • *__, MEANWHILE, Robert J.

Long, executive director of the county chapter of the American Heart Assn., has declared his group will cooperate in Mr. Cooley's suggestion that the sub­ject be placed on the agenda of the next Western New York Safety Conference.

Mr. Long outlines some ad­vice on preliminary treatment for heart attack victims and notes that a pamphlet on the subject is available.

* * * THE MOST important thing

you can do he says, is to call a doctor at once. You should not attempt to carry or lift the pa­tient unless the doctor is present, nor should you give him any­thing to drink. You may, how­ever, help the patient take the position in which he finds it easiest to breathe, loosen any tight clothing such as belts or shirt collars, and see that he doesn't become chilled.

The heart association's advice is given in a leaflet entitled "Heart Attack." Copies may be obtained on request to the Ni­agara County Heart Chapter, 15 Webster St., North Tonawanda.

The usual symptoms of a heart attack are a severe painful feeling of pressure under the breastbone Kwhich in _mild cases may be mistaken for acute indigestion), sudden intense shortness of breath, sweating, and, occasionally loss of con­sciousness.

As the leaflet explains, a heart attack usually means a coronary thrombosis, the acute condition that develops when one of the coronary arteries sup­plying the heart muscle with blood is suddenly blocked by a clot.

* * • ALTHOUGH the attack it­

self is sudden, it is the result of a slowly developing disease con­dition known as atherosclerosis. In atherosclorosis, the normally smooth artery walls become roughened by fatty deposits, and there is narrowing of the chan­nels through which the blood flows.

OFFICERS of the Niagara County Boat Club have an­nounced start of a safety cam­paign for boatmen.

The first NCBC safety project is a campaign to curb the reck-lcs boatman. All boatmen will be asked to display a "Thumbs-Down" salute to the reckless drivers, cowboys, and clowns. It is believed that a general display of disapproval will help to curb these water maniacs.

P o s t e r s explaining the Thumbs-Down" campaign will be displayed at Marinas, public docks and launching rites and marine tales establishments.

. . . NCBC Race director Steve

Traven says that the public should not associate the reck­less drivers with race drivers. *The racing drivers are m*. among the "goof balis" who are causing trouble/* he said. "These f clowns wouldn't last ten min­utes in organized racing before being disqualified for life."

Real racers can be recognized by s number twelvs inches high with the letter "N." They can also be recognized by wearing collar-type life preservers and crash helmets which they must wear during practice under threat of disqualification.

The proiram of NCBC is to encourage particrpation in boat­ing and water sports. A major obstacle to participation is the fear of an accident The water-borne "clowns" aft, to a degree, mining the sport, causing strict legislation and policing and liv­ing the aport a poor name.

The wont offenders are not children bat grown men, often under th6 influence of alcohol. NCBC has suggested to legisla­tors that severe penalties should be imposed on persons operat­ing or tiding in boats while intoxicated.

Power Bill Is Stalled In Senate

By JOHN KELSO Gannett News Service

WASHINGTON — One reason Niagara legislation is temporarily stalled in the Senate is the failure of the House PubKc Works Com­mittee to act on the omnibus rivers and harbors authorization bill.

The House Public Works Com­mittee has been deliberating the merits and demerits of the author­ization bill for weeks, much to the annoyance of certain Senators who helped push it through the upper house a fairly long time ago.

Among these annoyed senators is Robert S. Kerr (D-Okla), who happens to be the author of a re­fined Niagara bill reported out recently by the Senate Public Works Subcommittee of which he is chairman. The full committee has skipped any opportunity to act on the Kerr bill for a couple of-weeks, and the word is that it won't see its way clear to take it up for at least another fortnight —or until Kerr is finished with "the hard money" hearings now being conducted by the Senate Finance Committee, Sen. Harry F. Byrd (D-Va), chairman. Kerr is also a member of this committee, and "very much interested" in the examination of the fiscal policies of this country. Thus, it is ex­plained, he cannot possibly find the time to go into the Niagara matter.

The omnibus rivers and harbors authorization buM — commonly known as the pork barrel bill—was vetoed last year by President Eisenhower after legislators tacked onto it items not approved by Army engineers.

The scuttlebutt is that Kerr would not be adverse to the idea of certain House members inter­ested in Niagara, legislation, in­cluding Rep.,William E. Miller (R-NY) of Lockport, attempting to smooth the way, either on Capitol Hill or "downtown" at the White House, for the pork barrel measure.

The House Public Works Com­mittee is under the chairmanship of Rep. Charles A. B u c k l e y (D-NY), who has a reputation of playing his cards close to his vest.

Buckley was in and out of Washington this week, and could not be reached for comment, but one of his assistants said that "I understand the committee d i s-cussed Niagara legislation and de­cided to wait for the Senate to act."

Asked when the House Public Works Committee would meet on the omnibus rivers and harbors authorization bill, the Buckley as­sistant said, "I understand there might be a committee vote on it Thursday."

Meanwhile, all hands continue optimistic that the Senate finally will get around to passing Kerr's Niagara bill this, session, and that the House will act favorably on it shortly afterwards.

Buckley has told Miller that once he gets the Senate's Niagara bill, his committee will report it out within two days, after which the House itself will act on it within eight days—the latter upon the word of majority leader John W. McCormack (D-Mass).

Stanley J. Horab will represent this city in Chile and Jerome F. Lenhart in Belgium.

The Chilean ambassador to the United States, Mariano Puga, said, "If we official ambassadors were assisted by every town sending such able, attractive, willing-to-learn young men to our countries, we would be more efficient and would be able to do better what we try to do in your country."

Ambassador Puga told the large gathering at the dinner that he and Mrs. Puga took the trip from Washington, D.C, so that he would be able to express person­ally his thanks to Mayor Calvin L. Keller, Dr. Marion B. Geiger, chairman of the 1957 Community Ambassador Committee, and all who patronized the project

"It is a thoughtful, far sighted, friendly gesture you are making," Ambassador Puga said.

"I am personally proud that Mr. Horab is becoming one of my col­leagues. I am sure my country is going to receive him with open arms. He will have many things to tell you when he comes back."

Dr. Jan-Albert Goris, commis­sion of information for Belgium in the United States, who repre­sented the Belgian Embassy, assur­ed the group that Mr. Lenhart will be well received by his country.

Dr. Goris taid that he had found that Mr. Lenhart was traveling to Belgium on the same ship as he was returning home on and prom­ised to "take good care" of him.

He expressed appreciation over the project and pleasure that a representative of Niagara Falls was being sent to Belgium this year.

Dr. Geiger presided and wel­comed the representatives of the two countries, relatives of the am­bassadors and members of the committee and cooperating groups.

The Rev. H. Edward Whitaker, New Hope Baptist Church, the president of the Religious Fellow­

ship of Niagara Falls, gave the invocation.

Sharon Latham played the national anthems of Chile, Bel­gium and this country.

The Niagara Falls High School String Trio, Miss Frances Rew, violin;.Miss Rita Jo Stiegman, cel­lo, and Miss Christina Ventry, piano, played works by Beethoven and Schubert. Vanorma Phillips Tozzie sang.

Two Injured fe-Tra#fie—

Dr. Sidney Ahlstrom delivered his strongly-worded attack during the second day of the annual con­vention of the United Lutheran Synod of New York and New England at 2ion Evangelical Luth­eran Church here.

In activity today, church and lay delegates delayed action on a proposal that the Synod make token contributions to the New York State Council of Churches.

The Rev. John H. Sprok, D.D., Utica, told delegates that the church had been the recipient of the council's services but had not contributed for them.

He said that further discussions between the council and the Luth­eran committee on interdenomi­national n»lilinnth;p t ar> H c s i r ^

Kiwanis Club Speaker Malcolm Bowman will speak on

an unannounced topic at tomor­row's noon meeting of the Kiwanis Club to be held at Hotel Niagara. Victor Jamal will introduce the speaker.

A local and two area men, all newly appointed Masonic officers of the Niagara-Orleans District, will be commissioned Saturday in Utica.

They are Frederick W. Gray, this city, and Jerome Williams, Tonawanda, both newly appointed committee members for the dis­trict, and John Toft, Tonawanda, newly appointed district deputy grand master of the Niagara-Orleans District.

The men will be formally in­vested during the annual pilgrim­age to Utica by Judge Nathan Turk, of Osfego, grand master.

Action on his recommendation that "payment for services re­ceived", be made was delayed «n-til consideration of the bucrget later today.

The church dares not be lulled into a false security by the signs of promise in present day religion, Dr. Ahlstrom said in giving the talk on the Lutheran Church and its world outreach in commemo­ration of the 300th anniversary of the arrival of Johannes Ernestus Gutwasser in the United States. Pastor Gutwasser was the first minister called to an American congregation.

'These are days when the pieties of usefulness are sweeping the country," Dr. Ahlstrom said. "Everywhere we hear fake proph­ets proclaiming- their religion of religiosity, asking only for faith in faith, belief in belief.

"And the tawdy heresies of Norman Vincent Peale do not constitute the only evil. From many Christian pulpits there is resounding nothing more substan­tial than the weak sentimentality of Sallman's Jesus."

Dr. Ahlstrom listed four unique­ly American contributions to church life: First, the tradition of democratic church organization with strong participation by lay members; second, the deep and strong tradition nf religions free dom that forces the church to advance its work on its own

Where revivalism has given away to conventional, com­placent, bourgeous-culture Protes-taism, even revivalistic fervor has languished."

Calling for increased worship in the church, Dr. Ahlstrom de­clared that two main causes for America's "class stratified church" was the tradition of-the sermon dominated worship and the prin­cipal of congregational organi­zation "that looks to multifarious organizations to establish fellow­ship and forgets the bond of

merits and not by compulsion and non-religious measures.

Third, a strong sense of evan­gelism born in part of religious freedom. Fourth, the inter-rdated fact of a church independence of the support of the state and de­pendence on a voluntary member­ship.

Lutherans were warned against letting the church's conception of exegetical, expository preaching languish.

Dr. Ahlstrom called also for better teaching. "One hundred fifty years of American revivalism

At other late sessions yesterday the Synod voted for the first timo to take on direct financial support of a social welfare agency.

It will assume membership in the reorganized Lutheran Welfare Council, the cooperative council for 28 Lutheran social service agencies in New York City.

In the past, all such Lutheran agencies were supported by groups of local congregations. .

The neW Lutheran Welfare Council will attack the social problems of New York City on a broSd scale, the convention was' told. It includes agencies which serve children, teenagers, married persons and the aged. Hospitals, centers for counciling, chaplain­cies in hospitals and penal insti­tutions and other agencies with varied concerns will benefit by the Synod's active participation in their work.

A man who couldn't prove he was a minister was received as a pastor. The Rev. Denis Buthy fled Hungary seven months ago and had no proof of ordination. . The Rev. Dr. Frederick R. Knu-

bel, president of the Synod, ex­plained to the Convention that the Rev. Mr. Buthy had been ordain­ed by the Lutheran Church in

l^fHungary and had served very cap­ably while in that country. Be­cause Pastor Buthy had left the country during the Revolution last fall, he had to leave behind all his papers and proof of ordination.

Mr. Buthy escaped Hungary dur­ing the November uprising, taking his wife and three children and walking from Enying-Siofok to the Austrian border. The only clothe* they carried were those on their backs. Ordination papers, cher­ished books and family possessions • were all left behind.

Upon reaching the United States, the family settled in the Buffalo area.
