Alaska" by Lester d. Henderson
The Waterbury Democrat., 1937-04-21

New York, N. r., April 21 = Chronic nephritis or Bright's dis ease remains one of the most fre- quent causes of death of middle aged and old people, despite the progress made in reducing the nlor- tality from the disease, according to the statisticians of the Merropol- itan Life Insurance Company. In 1885, they say, the disease ranked fourth among the causes of death and accounted for the loss of nearly 100000 lives, or 2 per cent of all deaths occurring in the country The death rate, at present, is only about one half what 1t was twenty five years ago. This improvement extends to every period of life, but has been greatest among children.
 Improvement
 Pointing out, however, that only part of the improvement in Bright's disease mortality has been genuine, the statisticians explain some of the causes contributing to the decline. Success has attended certain pre- ventive measures against infections from which Bright's disease often develops. Prenatal care of women suffering from the disease has re- duced deaths during childbirth. The very decline in the birth rate by

reducing the frequency of exposure to childbirth, which its risk of kid- rley complications, has helped to cut down mortality from this cause in women of collaborating age. Added to these factros, important in helping to reduce the death rate from Bright,s, is the fact that bet- ter care of persons suffering from the disease has operated to lengthen their lives.
 Blood Pressure
 The major part of the fall in the death rate from Bright's dis ease after age 45 is due largely to changed medical ideas regarding the relationship Of nephritis to high blood pressure and hardening Of the arteries. Years ago high blood pressure was usually considered a symptom of 11ephritis and assumed to be caused by 1t. This Is often but not always true. Today 1t is known that often the high blood pressure Is present before nephritis develops, and that the effects of high blood pressure on the heart and arteries appear before there is any damage to the kidneys. Consequently, deaths of persons with high blood pressure are today more often reported as due to heart or coronary artery dis ease than formerly. This is the most important reason for the de- creased death rate from Bright's disease and the corresponding in crease in heart disease in recent years.

POPE PLUS MUST
 CURTA|L TASKS
Slight Recurrence of Old Pains-NO Reason for
 Undue Concern

Vatican City, April 2l.-(UP)- Authoritative Vatican sources said today that Pope Plus was suffering from slight" recurrence of varicose swelling in his legs, with intermit- tent pains. It was said that in fre- quency and intensity the pains had not yet approached those of recent months. The pope has insisted on working despite the pain, it was said. He took his customary rest Monday and received only Cardinal Pacelli, with whom he discussed af- fairs of state. But yesterday he spent the whole morning presiding at meeting of the Holy Congrega- ton of Rites for final discussion of the virtues of Father Donienico Barberi, missionary to England. CurtaiI Activities
 Because of the change in the pope's condition, it was said, Prof Aminta Milani, the Vatican physi- clan, increased his vigilance and ad- vised him to curtail all activities in order to rest his legs.
 But always unwilling to give in tc Illness, the pope persisted in giving audiences today. He saw Cardinal Tisserant and Monsignor Natucci promoter of the faith, and ther blessed several hundred newly we'd ded couples and children in a new audience.
 The pope's intimates were espe- cially anxious because they saw that the pope now tired easily during these audiences. The raw, chil weather of recent days also has served to make the varicose condi- ton worse, it was said. There was said to be no reason for undue con- cern, however, SO long as the pope's heart continued to function normal, iy. It was his heart that was. the chief reason for anxiety during his long recent illness.

GOVERNOR HAS HEARST SUPPORT
Backs Proposals Spon= sored By Him for Re-
 vamping State Govt.
BY GEORGE R. MORRIS, JR. Uniter Press Staff Correspondent

Uniter Press Staff Correspondent
 Hartford, Conn.,, April 21.-(UP) House republicans furnished the impetus today to a series of pro- posals sponsored by the Govenor to revamp the state government and eliminate many out-moded and overlapping features which have been in force for more than cen tury.
 Fifteen reorganization measures approved in the lower branch with out an amendment, were on their way to the senate to join the house approved civil service system bill. Most of them relieved the governor of minor functions. Most important of the lot was a proposal to raise the governors salary $7,000 a year and provide him with cabinet of Il department heads.
 Gov. May Ask Delay
 Unless the senate takes prompt and favorable action, it was con- sidered likely the governor would ap- peal to the legislature to extend the time during which he must make his nominations for major jobs. The deadline by statute is May l. He has withheld nominations because some of the reorganization bills eliminate many of the positions concerned.
 The democratic-controlled senate has given no indication of its att

Freight Business On N. H. Lines Gaining
Big Increase Expected When Comparative Reports
 Are Compiled; Changes in Commodities List

lvisory Board is one of 13 such re- gional boards which meet quarterly, and estimtee freight car loadingS by means of reports made by represen- tatives of various industries, con- cerning their anticipated volume of business in the three months just ahead. Reports of all of the boards have been compiled for the current quarter and they indicate freight gains varying from 2.2 per cent. in the Central Western region to 39.4 per cent. in the northwest area. A decrease in freight volume is fore seen onl yin the midwest sector. Reason for the exceptionally large gain in the northwest region is mostly 8 heavier movement of ore and concentrates.
 Railroad freight business is in- creasing not only because of busi- ness recovery, but also because of the many improvements in the speed of freight handling and de- livery made during the depression years.
 Of the 20 commodities included in the boards estimates, increases are expected in 19, decreases in eight and two are expected to be about the same as last year. The 19 for which an increase is predict ed are flour, meal and other mill products; fresh vegetables other than potatoes: ore and concentrates; gravel, sand and stone; salt; lum- Der and forest products; petroleum and petroleum products; sugar, syrup and molasses; Iron and steel; machinery and boilers; cement brick and clay products; lime and plas- ter: agricultural implements and vehicles other than automobiles; automobiles, trucks and parts; fer tilizers of all kinds; paper, paper board and prepared roofing; chem icalS and explosives; and canned goods including all canned food products. Decreases are foreSeen in grain; hay, straw and alfalfa; cot- ton seed and products except oil; citrus fruits; other fresh fruits; po- tatoes; livestock; and coal and coke. Little change is expected in ship ments of cotton, and poultry and dairy products.

AMBASSADOR OF
 SPAIN ACCUSES
Nations Wear Blinkers Over Actions of Ger=
 many, Italy in Spain

New Haven, Conn.,, April 21.- (UP)-Fernando De Los Rios, Span- ish ambassador to the United States charged today the democratic coun- tries of Europe were wearing blink CTS to shield them from seeing what is around them" regarding the ill- tervention of Italy and Germany into Spain's civil war. For Musso- lini and Hitler, the ambassador said in an address at Yale university Political Union House, there is no word to respect and no word to keep. Meanwhile" he continued "the democratic countries consider themselves bound by their word, and refuse to give the legal Spanish gov- ernment means of defending itself against a rebellion at home and a coalition abroad. These facts open a new chapter in international law and represent the organization of help for a rebel aggressor, with no aid for a legal and democratic gov- ernment.
 Painful to Admit
 "It is painful to admit and dramatic to endure, but 1t is obvious that this hour of international ethi- cal collapse comes from the fact that the strong have left law, jus tice, and the idea of international solidarity and collective security, un- protected; that is, the outlines of a beginning of international organi- zation syrnbolized in the noble efforts of the League of Nations.
 "This is the hour of the bold. This is so, unfortunately, because those whose task it should be to guard the institutions they have created allow the strengthening of those who deny the substantive value of the indivi- dual man, the substantive value ot the human personality in itself"
