This Is the first of two arti-
cles on the discovery of a new
treatment to combat malignant
endocarditis, a form of heart
disease.)
BY DIR. MORRIS FISHBEIN
Discovery by Chicago physi-
clans Of a new treatment for
malignant endocarditis, which is
an inflammation of the men,
branous lining of the heart, may
result in checking a disease
which up to this time has
claimed the lives of IS out of
every 100 victims.
In the past, all attempts of
physicians to control this disease
were futile. Doctors differentiate
between two forms Of the dis
ease as acute bacterial endocar-
ditis and subacute bacterial en-
docarditis.
S om e 1 mes this condition
comes on like a low-grade in
lection, usually insidiously, with
a feeling Of fatigue, fleeting
pains about the muscles and
joints. headache and similar
symptoms.
In about 40 per cent of the
cases, however, the condition
comes on more suddenly with
fever, chills and sweats, severe
illness-with symptoms related
to the joints, and with a rapid
heart beat.
Usually when the doctor ex-
amines the heart he finds there
is some disturbance which re-
fleets itself in murmurs. or in
disordered action of the heart,
or with a disturbance OF the
rhythm
Such symptoms generally In
dicate the heart has responded
to the infection and the weak
ness by enlargement. The in
ability OF the heart to do its
work may result in shortness Of
breath.
Because Of the damage to the
heat the blood may fail to cir
cnlate properly 50 that the face
appears blue. Sometimes small
blood spots appear over the body
IN the skin. and In more serious
infections there may be large
hemorrhages into the skin.
When the blood OF patient
with malignant endoeArditis is
examined. certain germs, par
tieaiariy streptococcns which
forms greenish pigment. are
usually found in the stream

is expected to aid in delicate

Democracy Was Safe

To Bring II Back
ONE HUNDRED and sixty
three years ago. the continent
tai congress laid the foundations
for democracy in America by the
adoption of the Declaration Of
Independence. A few years later
the constitutional convention set
up the superstructure and it
was strengthened by the amend
ments constituting the Bill Of
Rights. To the fathers of the
republic II looked like perfect
set-up to insure a democratic
government with all the privi-
leges and opportunities that the
term implies.
We started off all right but
somewhere along the line there
seems to have been a slip. When
the Bill of Rights and other con-
stitutional guarantees in ter

ago.
Thoughtful persons who have
been paying attention to what
seems to be forgetfulness of the
rights and privileges conferred
and the responsibilities obi
gated by the constitution have
suggested schools of democ-
racy," which would give a
course in what democracy means.
The idea seems to have
clicked, and the first "Chair
of Democracy" has just been
established in Florida South

Methodist institution.
Dedication of the chair took
place in November. Part of the
ceremony was a discussion in

democratic ideal, said he, will
also deny the religious ideal,

COMMUNISTS WRITE
"OWN WAY OUT"

O"N WAA WI
Editor, The Times: The vic
tory dance" to celebrate the in
vasion of Finland by the Stain
ist military machine, attempted
by the communists in Aberdeen,
is symptomatic OF the almost
incredible slavish attitude of the
followers of Stain in this coun-
try.
Yesterday communist or
"fellow traveller gloried in that
victory to me. When asked
whether Stain would be justified
in bombing our own cities to
overthrow our capitalist govern
ment, he replied, why not, IL
we haven't courage enough to do
1t ourselves?
Let the average man make the
average, common sense answer
To that. The writer, as a social
ist and student of socialism for
80 years, has the task Of stating
categorically that the communist
claim that this is socialism in
action Is as false as their claim
of only a few months ago, that
the road to socialism was class
collaboration in a so-called peo-
pies front, to fit the then foreign
policy of Russia.
No socialist organization or
socialist authority has ever held
that socialism can be carried ~
force across national boundaries.
1t is only bloody tyranny that
can be expanded that way. Only
bloody. imperialist tyranny
could or would attempt it. To
state that socialism exists in
Russia today is base perversion
and basphemy Of the word. It
Is state capitalism, industrial
feudalism. that they have in
Russia.
Since Stain came to power,
the deadliest enemy of socialism
has been the communist party.
1t is because Of its boring from
Within" its knitting In the back
within the various fronts" that
the working class. socialist
movement lies PROSTATE over the
world.
The communist han in Aber-
deem was wrecked. but that is
not the answer. The only an
swer is the appeal to intelli-
gence. The only way to fight the
communist party Is to explain
the communist party.
