It is to be hoped that the heated spirit of controversy will subside and that objective con- sideration will take it's place. There are many gaps in our knowledge at the present moment, and medicine and physiology have much to learn.

But it is distinctly within the range of possibility to promote understanding of facts to point where common knowledge supports a steadily improving national ideal.

Must Support Plan to Give Roosevelt Reorgani-

WASHINGTON, Feb. 13.-Demo- cratic House leaders last Satur- day night laid tentative plans to punish members who oppose the program to give Roosevelt drastic power in Government re-organiza- ton.

 The plan now is to retailiate against those Democrats and op- pose the power to Roosevelt, with loss of patronage.
 Loss of patronage will include both House and Senate Chairman ships and memberships on com mittees.
 There are some leading Demo- crats who believe that there will be no necessity for carrying out the retaliation plans.
