Science Works ON Causes
OF High Blood Pressure

many during the war a diet def
Gent in protein led to certain dis
eases, although in this instance not
only was the protein insufficient,
but also the general food supply.
Takes Different Viewpoint
A recent review Of the subject Of
high blood pressure by one OF the
deans Of American medicine, takes
an entirely different viewpoint. In
regard to the cause, he says that
in certain cases we can determine
the cause, but usually high blood
pressure is a condition that stands
alone. He refuses to discuss the
theories advanced in explanation
of high blood pressure because l
should have to say after each one
not proven
The fact that high blood pres
sure is uncommon among the
Chinese has always seemed to call
for some explanation. Gunewardene
examined 200 Buddhist priests,
ranging in age from 30 to 80 years,
and found only one instance Of
high blood pressure. It has often
been suggested that this is due to
the Chinese and the Buddhist out
look on life. To the Buddhist,
the restlessness, the consuming
ambition of the western business
man are unknown and incompre-
hensible; he is never in a hurry,
never runs, not even, as Gune-
wardene says, if his robes catch
or fira.
It has also been suggested that
among the Chinese the widespread
use of watermelon seeds, which
contain substance that depresses
blood pressure, may be a factor IN
the universal low blood pressure
pmong Chinese people.
Another, and it seems to me, far
more likely explanation, is simply
that it is hereditary. We certainly
know that high and low blood pres
sure are both hereditary, and to-
find them in one race would seem
to indicate more a hereditary fac
tor than any other kind.

RAP STAND OF
DIXIE GRAVES
ON LYNCH BILL

NEW YORK, Dec.-(CNA)-Lead
ing women of America, outstanding ir
church societies and universities, have
sent sharp letter of censure to Dixie
Bib Graves, woman Senator from
Alabama, for her opposition to the
Waglser-Van Mugs Anti Lynching
Bill.
The letter, signed by 100 women,
informed the filibustering Southern
Senator:
"Your recent talk against the mea-
sure was great disappointment to
us. We cannot agree with you that
law enforcement has become SO eff
fective that another five years will see
the end of lynching.'
The letter charged that in 1872 per
cent of lynching cases the lyhchers
had gone unpublished. Lynching, they
pointed out, was crime found in all
but five States.
They cited the Scottsboro case as
zone of the greatest injustices KNOWN
in modern legal history and said one
of the most lawless lynchings had been
that of two white men recently.

ALABAMA MASSES CHALLENGE
VOTE BAN

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, Dec. (CNA)
"A mass "right-to-vote" challenge to
the disfranchisemen laws of the South
appeared here this week, as thousands
of Negroes and poor white workers
marched on the Jefferson County
Court House, where registration is
soaring to historic heights.
Hundreds of Negro workers swarm
ed into the registration offices singing
a specially written song, Gonna Reg
ister".
More than a dozen Southern states
have unconstitutional laws which dis
franchise Negroes.
Foremost in the minds of the work
ers and progressives of this jim-crow
state is the determination to defeat
Cotton Tom" Hefflin, rabid hater OF
Negroes and labor, who is running tor
the Senate on reactionary anti-NeW
Deal platform.
Lister Hill, New Deal candidate, is
opposing Helm. The contested Sen
atorial seat, made vacant by Justice
Hugo Blacks elevation to the Supreme
Court, is now occupied by Dixie
Graves, who made her debut speech III
the Senate with an anti-lynching bill.
Gonna Register
AS Negroes march into the Jetter-
son County Court House-vhere two
of the Scottsboro boys, Haywood Pat
terson and Clarence Norris are now
imprisoned they hum Gonna Reg
ister", which reels off to the tune OF
the Organ Grinders Swing.
Expressing the promise of better
DAYS which the exercise of the vote
carries with it, the song goes:
Negroes voting with the whites
Will put across the Bill of Rights,
Jim Crow voting now is dead,
Gonna have Democracy instead,
Gonna Register"
Taking the lead in the fight to de-
feat Heflin are the c. |. 0. unions,
arge blocs Of A. F. of L. members,
liberals and progressives, Negro and
white.
The right to vote campaign whic
began here Nov. 49, is taking plac
on the Southern background of reao
ton which more than dozen state
south of the Mason-Dixon line den
Negroes the right to vote in open vic
alton of the 18th Amendment to tt
Constitution. Among these state
are: Georgia, Alabama, South Caro-
lima, Tennessee, Mississippi, Florida
Texas, Louisiana.
In all of these states there are edu-
cational, property and poll tax re-
uuirements- of which serve to bar
poor white sharecroppers as well as
Negroes.
