...older Democratic Senators, is Senator Byrnes. The other, not so popular with the Senators but preferred by the President is Senator Barkley. Senator Barkley not yet majority leader nevertheless openly led the Administration's fight, rallying several more or less radically inclined freshmen Senators such as Schwartz of Wyoming and Pepper of Florida. He was credited with having been given the go-ahead signal by the White House...
...horse track will be the second field extension of a laboratory to study locomotion which Dr. Schwartz has conducted in the University of Rochester Medical School since 1926. His studies of foot problems as old as Xenophon's forced inarch across Asia Minor are original enough to have earned him a gold medal from the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons and a bronze medal from the American Medical Association. And practical enough for a Rochester shoe manufacturer, Armstrong & Co.. to spend $150,000 on: 1) support of Dr. Schwartz's gait laboratory; 2) maintenance of an extension...
...principle of "balance-in-motion" is relatively simple. By means of electrobasographs Dr. Schwartz determined that in natural walking the big toe propels the body forward, the heel and outer margin of the middle feet merely bear weight. The heel strikes the ground first, stays there 0.4 sec. Then, 0.15 sec. after the beginning of the heel's impact, the middle foot begins a 0.4-sec. roll upon the ground. Just as the heel lifts clear, the big toe comes down for a 0.2-sec. contact. The instant the toe of one foot is ready to leave the ground...

Side swing of the heel throws all the muscles and tendons of the foot out of balance. "Since the tendons act as slings for the 26 bones of the foot," reasons Dr. Schwartz, "those bones then have a tendency to slip out of their anatomical arrangement...
...whole weakened structure he designed a shoe with a high, stiff, snug counter. This keeps the heel directly under the tibia, puts the heel in a straight line with the base and tip of the big toe, warps the instep into a springy arch. Shoes, according to Dr. Schwartz, must have heels to help throw the body forward while walking. Men's heels should be supported eight eighths of an inch-from the ground, women's fourteen eighths, says...
