FIRE MENACE

In its numerous protests
against sabotage, the Commerce
Department might ask itself why
it permits the Colombian Line,
and other fruit vessels including
the United Fruit Lines, to use
highly inflammable wood in GER
tain holds.
Those vessels, designed to carry
passengers and freight, transport
the vast majority Of bananas
eaten in this country.
In the holds are what is known
as banana battens, to protect
the periShable cargo.
These battens, however, are
made Of highly vanished wood
which would burn terrifically II

sink her at the dock. She was
nearly completed but her holds
were lined with the highly var"

other fruit boats.
Despite that warning, vessels
were permitted to continue in the
transportation of passengers and
freight with the inflammable wood
Innings in their holds.
If fire breaks out in them, 1t
would be an impossibility to con.

Yet the Commerce Department
permits their continued operation.

Just Kidding

It seems that somebody is being 'kidded about the
Districts estimates and appropriations.
The estimates of the District Commissioners were
radically altered by the Bureau of the Budget.
The Commissioners let it be known that they were in
no way responsible for the ateratons-that they had
done their utmost to intact the estimates they
originally submitted to the Bureau Of the Budget.
Senate subcommittee decided to get to the bottom
of the matter and examined officials of the bureau
the method of dealing with the Districts estimates
It now is revealed that, according to Senators who
attended the hearing the District Commissioners instead
of fighting strongly to retain in the budget the estimates
they submitted merely made formal presentation Of
the needs
No attempt according to the Bureau Of the Budget
officials was made to demonstrate that the estimates
submitted were vital and attempt made after the
budget had been submitted to convince the bureau that
revised figures should be submitted to Congress.
IF THE STATEMENT REPORTED MADE BY
BUREAU OF THE BUDGET OFFICIALS TO THE
SENATE SUBCOMMITTEE Is TRUE, THEN THE
RESIDENTS AND TAXPAYERS OF WASHINGTON
HAVE BEEN "LET DOWN. BY THE DISTRICT
COMMISSIONERS. ..-. ....
If the statement of the Bureau of the Budget off,
Gals is not true-and it should be possible for the
Senate subcommittee to ascertain the fGcts-then
Congress and the President haze been deceived as to
local needs.
It is absurd to expect local residents to fight vigorously
before Congressional committees they being aban
doned in earlier presentations before the Bureau of the
Budget
IT IS AsININE TO ASK CONGRESSIONAL COM
MITTEEs TO RECTIFY ERRORS MADE BY THE
BUREAU OF THE BUDGET IF LOCAL OFF
GALS HAVE NOT VIGOROUSLY AND SINCERELY
FOUGHT OUT DIFFERENCES OF OPINION WITH
THAT BUREAU.

SHOCK AFFECTS
VITAL ORGANS,
DOCTOR CLAIMS
Cause and Mechanism of
Condition Reported by
PathoIogist.
BY DAVID DIETZ
Scripps- Howard Science Editor

PHILADELPHIA, April 23.-Dis-
covery Of the cause and mechanism
OF shock, one of the most battling
and dangerous conditions known to
medical science, was announced
here today at the opening session
OF the American Philosophical So
ciety by DR.. Virgil H. Moon, pro-
fe>Sor o. pathology at jefferson
Medical College Of Philadelphia.
The condition is a frequent cause
OF death in accidents and is reported
more often as a result Of the in
crease in automobile accidents and
the large number of industrial ac-
cidents. 1t was met with constant
~ during the World War and like
wise a frequent cause Of death after
severe burns, extensive surgical oper-
ations, virulent infections and Sc
we're intoxications.
DR.. Moon also revealed today that
experiments had proved that the
equally dangerous conditions known
as edema of the lung and secondary
or terminal pneumonia were in re-
atty forms Of shock. This had not
been suspected previously. So baf-
fling has shock proved to the med
ical profession and so conflicting
have been the explanations offered
of it, that it has been called "a
disease of theories"
May Precede Treatment
IT is probably that DR.. Moons
work may prove to be the biggest
medical discovery of the year, since
it is expected that 1t will pave the
way for successful treatment of
shock and other diseases which he
finds to be manifestations of the
same condition.
Shock is a state of collapse af-
fecting all the vital functions" DR..
Moon explains. I'm such cases, the
victim becomes cold, weak, or
breathless. The heart action be-
comes weak. There is low blood
pressure and failing circulation.
Frequently death follows quickly"
Dr. Moon pointed out that the
fact that so many different types
of substances could injure the small
blood vessels explained why shock
followed so many different condi-
tons and diseases. He said that he
and his colleagues had not attacked
the problem yet of seeking a treat
ment for shock.
