The American Opinion Speakers of Chicago is sponsoring her talk. Alfred A. Lutz, chairman of the group, said that Mrs. Brown's appearance is open to the public, and is one of a series in her current tour during which she is relating her experiences within the Communist party, and exposing Communist influence in the riots which I have beset the nation in recent I years.

LUZ ALSO said that in her talk, Mrs. Brown tells how she was deceived into joining the Communists, having been led to believe that she was joining a civil rights group. Within nine months, she had discovered the full import of her act and quit the party. Later the FBI suggested she rejoin for the purpose of reporting Communist activities. "Mrs.

Brown's testimony," a Congressional report read, "was productive of much new and useful materal. Lutz said that Mrs. Brown has set out to inform her fellow citizens of the grave danger from Communist infiltration of the civil rights movement and of other areas in our national life. "In view of the findings of some special 'commissions' set up to study the causes of the recent riots, which findsings allege that there is no 'evidence of conspiracy', Mrs. Brown's speech si very timely indeed," (E of the 125 DuPage employes who possess three or more risk factors are under 40.

These are men who could be laid up or die at the peak of their careers." Schoenberger added the risk of coronary disease increases i age. Twenty-five per cen' of the male employes and 20 per cent of the female employes over age 40 possessed two risk factors. Bliss and Laughlin Industries, Chicago Bridge and Iron Sunbeam Corp. and Northern Illinois Gas Co. were represented in the first phase of the pilot study.

The 15-minute screening test is comprised of six short steps. The examinee first drinks an orange-flavored beverage. The I drink contains glucose sugar which reveals the blood's sugar content when a blood sample is taken. The employe completes a brief health questionnaire, is weighed and has his height measured. WHILE THE employe rests i on an examining table, a nurse takes a small blood sample.

This is sent to a. laboratory to determine the blood's cholesterol and sugar content. Finally, the examinee's blood pressure is measured and his heart beats recorded by an electrocardiograph. The screening test is voluntary and results are strictly confidential. Only the employe and his physician receive the individual test report.

Approximately 90 per cent of all employes in the four DuPage industries volunteered to be screened. The heart disease screening program was made possible by a $29,000 donation by the David Siegel Foundation. Mr. Siegel, founder and president of Ohmite Manufacturing Skokie, died in 1957 from a heart attack. DANCING FRIDAY SATURDAY NIGHTS 9 P.M.
