present O'Connor, Rep. Connery,
chairman of the Labor Committee;
Senator Wagner, A. F. Of L. Pres
ident Bill Green, and Secretary
Perkins, the President told O'Con-
nor he wanted the bill enacted.
But O'COnnor displayed marked
hostility to the measure, made it
all too evident that he was dead
set against it.
He first proposed that the
amendment offered by Senator
Tydings of Maryland, prohibiting
workers from "coercing" other
workers to join unions, be written
into the bill When it was pointed
out that the Senate had rejected
this provision by vote of so to

tack.
He declared that a ma jority Of
the Rules Committee was opposed
to the legislation. Pressed for

But when these men we're cam

it was found that seven of them
we're for the bill and wanted it to

Your Health
by DIR. MORRIS FIsHBEIN

TOR many years, doctors have considered the
l. tongue important in determining ailments In
fact back in 1895, doctors invariably began their
physical examinations by looking at it.
We know now, however, that they put good deal
more stress on the condition of the tongue than was
really necessary; even though there is still great
deal to be learned from this extraordinary organ.
In scarlet fever, for example, the tongue looks like
a strawberry. In ulcers Of the stomach it is usually
bright red and moist.
thin white coating Turing on the tongue is
not alarming sign, however, since it is fairly
common in persons who smoke great deal, or who
breathe mostly through the mouth.
THE tongues appearance is said to be most inn
l. portant in relationship to diseases of stomach
and ntestines. In this connection, however, it is
not absolutely certain sign that something is
wrong, but only an indication
There are, however, certain diseases Of the tongue
which give il an unusual appearance. Some people,
for instance, have hairy tongues; in Others the
tongues have motted appearance which make
them resemble map. APPLY this condition is called
geographic tongue.
If the tongue trembIes slightly when it is ex-
fenced, disturbances CT the nervous system may be
indicated This condition is likely to be noted in
cases of chronic alcoholism and in general paralysis
THERE are some diseases in which one-half Of
l. the tongue becomes very large, the other half
remaining small. glandular disturbance, usually
reflected in the body as a whole is frequently re-
sponsible.
In certain blood disorders the tongue is soft and
easily damaged When this is the case, bite Of the
tongue brings on a large blue-back blister, which
may last for several days.
Children whose tongues are coated because Of
common infectious diseases can keep their mouths
clean by using mouth washes. In some cases, even
chewing gum helps to clean of the debris.

to meet all the appeals and that
