ALUMINIUM CO. EASE
 STILL IS DEBATED
Democratic Leaders to Ask
 Direct Action

Washington, Feb. 22 R}-Demo- cratic leaders indicated today that they would ask for direct action by the senated to refer the case of the Aluminium Company of America to special counsel instead of pressing for a senate resolution for an invcs- tigation to determine whether the company has violated federal court doCrecs.
 Senator Robinson of Arkansas, the party floor leader, said ho thought a case was made on the record of the federal trade commission and that 1t seemed useless to pile investigation upon Investigation.
 Senator Walsh. democrat, Mon tana. who has prosecuted the senate inquiry into the action of tho de- partment of justice in investigating the Mellon controlled company, said the plan outlined by Senator Robin son would meet with his approval.
 The course to be sought, Senator Walsh said, would be similar 10 that followed in the Teapot Dome case where the president was directed to employ special counsel to take such action, civil or criminal" as the facts might warrant.
 The Montana senator said three courses would be open to special counsel: Contempt proceedings for violation of tho decree; proceedings to broaden the decree entered in 1912, and criminal action under the Sherman act on charges that the company has sought to strengthen it's alleged monopoly.
 Administration senators will op. pose appointment of special counse equally as strcnuously as they have opposed a special senate inVCstiga ton,
 Chairman Cummins Of the judi ciary committee and others take th position that by such q course th senate would ho nsurping the func tions of the executive branch Of tn government and that if it holds th justice department has been dcrelict or. it has it's remedy in impeachmen proceedings.
 The Aluminium case was set dow for further argument today in th senate, but several of those oppo$ ing senate action wore unprcparc to go on and the matter went ovc until tomorrow, but still with priv ileged status.

They rail against and decry Ameri-

trying to belittle more than a century
OF such material and intellectual
achievements as the world never be-

pronounced by one of the greatest
statesmen of modern times, and not an
American, to be the most wonderful
work ever struck off at one time by the

THAT old instrument has stood the

times of adversely; through wars and
then more wars. And did 1t ever occur

all of which, in their places, are of
great value and allow the perform
ance of many very difficult opera
lions with greater safety even than
with ether and with even less dis
comfort to the patient.
Among these are, gas oxygen,
which is now considered perhaps the
safest anesthetic, spinal anesthesia,
by which cocaine preparation is in
jected into the spinal cord rendering
the parts below the waist insensible
to pain but the patient remains con-
scious, and the so called local anes-
thesia, which is the use of a cocaine
preparation called novocaine injected
only at the site of the operation and
which, renders the tissues numb
without affecting the patients con-
seriousness.
Not all of these various forms of
anesthesia can be used in every case
but experience has taught that GER
tain cases do better under gas oxy-
gen than under ether. certain others
especially strangulated herniae-do
better under spinal anesthesia and
many very delicate operations, not
ably those on the surface of the body
can be quickly and painlessly done
under local anesthesia, SO that the
patient need not remain as long in
the hospital as when a general an
esthetic is used, or in the simplest
cases a hospital may not be necess-
airy at all.
One of the principal aims Of the
careful surgeon today is the safe
guarding of his patient in every way
possible, before, during and after
operation. Therefore one Of the
greatest advantages Of these newer
| forms of anesthesia, Is that, by care
full selection of cases, the surgeon
can further safeguard his operation
rand his patient by planning an OPP
GRAFTON under some one of the simp-
Ter anesthetics ratheer than to use
ether, which might not be an entirely
safe anesthetic in some conditions
such as Bright's disease. diabetes
and some forms of heart disease.
BY this one means alone many Of
ten difficult operations can be per-
formed with great safety and the pa
TENTS convalesence materially short
ened.
Also the surgeon Of today gives
much more attention than formerly
to the preparation of his patient for
the taking of an anesthetic and the
giving of all anesthetics are now so
refineed that the old sensations of
unpleasantness are largely done
away with, so that patients no long
er need dread an anesthetic as in the
past.
DR.. Merrill has made the subject of
anesthesia, especially that of giving
of gas-oXygen, a special STUDY and
his talk is sure to be one TO enlight-
eminent and great interest.
