Link Between ‘Phenix City, Gambler Seen TALLAHASSEE (#—U. S. Atty. Harrold Carswell: indicated today the government might attempt to | establish a link between Phenix City, Ala., gambling operations and alleged gambler Winston Rey- nolds. Carswell disclosed that Phenix City gambling kingpin Hoyt Shep- herd and Shepherd’s bookkeeper had been subpoenaed as govern- ment witnesses at Reynolds’ gam- bling tax evasion trial. Shepherd and his bookkeeper, W. J. Horne of Columbus, Ga., were waiting in the U. S. marshal’s office across the hall from the court room this morning. Newsmen weren't permitted to talk to them. The government rested its, case against Reynolds yesterday and if Shepherd and Horne are called they would be put on as rebuttal | witnesses. Post Bond aces | Shepherd is at liberty under $1,- | 000 bond posted at Phenix City on | an indictment charging him with | leasing or renting establishments in which gambling was permitted. The 43-year-old Reynolds, _re- puted head of a numbers itv%et | operating in Plorida, Georgia and | Alabama, is being trieé for. the | second time on the gambling tax evasion charge. His previous trial | in March ended in a mistrial when the jury was unable-to agree. | A Leon Circuit Court jury ac- | quitted Reynolds and three others in the spring on charges they op- | erated or took part in a Cuba | lottery operation in violation of | state law. 5 Phone Record | State Atty. Bill Hopkins had said | then that records had been found of numerous phone calls between Phenix City and Tallahassee over a three year period but that he doubted whethet they would be admissible as court evidence be- cause they might be ruled wire- tap evidence. These records listed “reynolds” as the caller and '‘Shepherd” or “Sheppard” as the one called. Meantime, the defense today went forward w ith its efforts to prove that Reynolds was a legiti- mate businessman by calling to the stand persons who said they | had done business with him in his electric appliance or neon sign | companies.

YOUTH CHRIST Tomorrow, 7:30 P.M. HEA For Home or. Liver Trouble © Is Studied As Diabetes Cause By ALTON L. BLAKESLEE AP Science Reporter NEW YORK ®#—Diabetes may be due to some strange liver trou- ble, says a new medical report described to the American Chemi- ¢al Society convention. This means that the cure or con- trol of diabetes could well in- or regular injections of insulin. some degree of diabetes and most take insulin shots to control it. gland in the body. You need in-| sulin to control the use of body | sugar. Too much sugar in the blood | is a main symptom of diabetes. | Diabetes is generally thought to! stem from failure to make enough insulin. Shots of insulin and at- tention to diet permit most dia- betics to lead normal lives. « New evidence that the cause or control can involve the liver was | described by Arthur I. Mirsky, | M.D., professor and chairman of | clinical science, University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine. He mixed insulin with extracts or | slices of liver and with hambur- gerized liver. He found that the insulinase in liver destroyed the) insulin, Insulinase is an enzyme, | a chemical which promotes cer- tain bodily reactions. ‘The experiments used insulin | “tagged” with radioactive iodine, which could be followed or traced to learn what happened to the in- Latin-American Baptist Church, 1328 White St. sulin. Anything which causes the liver to produce too much insulinase could result in a deficiency of insplin, and hence diabetes, said Mirsky and Gladys. Perisutti, co- author of the report. ; Fla.

Bill Jones, laboratory technician in the Navy’s photo center, Wash- ington, grabbed the microphone and told AVR 33 what had hap- pened. He asked for Dr. Stark and that a helicopter be sent. Then Jones rushed below for blankets. Meanwhile, Ledr. Hooper secur- ed the stub of Roemhild’s left leg. The severed foot sat upright in its shoe on the deck. An effort was made to bring AVR 33 alongside the AVR 87 so Dr. Stark could get aboard. The heavy. seas prevented this. Friends Stand By Tom Parkinson, 24, the third man in Ledr. Hooper’s underwater team, was holding Roemhild’s head and talking to him. Roemhild and Parkinson had be- come friendly during the weeks they had worked on the project. The injured man had been lifted to the top of the cabin. He was wrapped in blankets and canvas. Once he attempted to sit up and look at his foot. Ledr. Hooper gently pushed him back down and said: “Everything is going to be all right.” In the meantime, when the two AVR’s could not be brought along- side each other, Dr. Stark put on flippers, grabbed a face mask, and leaped overboard from the deck of AVR 33. Swims 50 Yards He swam through the heavy seas 50 yards to the AVR 87. “Three other swimmers followed me,” Dr,. Stark «said, “but only one.-of them male it. The other two-turned back.” Dr. Stark said he lost about $90 in medical equipment, including the apparatus to take blood pres- sure and his sethescope. However, Dr. Stark had with him a box of morphine. As soon as he got aboard the AVR 87, he gave Roemhild a shot .| of morphine. “Roemhild was wonderful,” Dr. ; Stark said. “He never uttered a .| word of complaint. He was ter- rifie.” Meanwhile, Ledr. Hooper and the deck to bring the AVR 33 alongside. Secured On Stretcher Roemhild was secured in a stretcher that was ringed with several life jackets. Then he and the doctor were transferred to AVR 33. “During this time,” Ledr. Hoop- er said, ‘Ed Ciesinski was the busiest man I ever saw. He was all over the boat. If we needed a bumper forward, he was there with a bumper. If we needed a bumper aft, Ed was there.” AVR 22 then pulled into the dock. at Garden Key. This was just before dawn. At 7:45 a.m. a helicopter from the Naval Air Station arrived. Boemhild was given a unit of Dextran, Dr. Stark said, and then placed aboard the helicopter. Dr. Stark returned to the Naval Hospital here with the injured man.
