Fever Forerunner
 Of Heart Disease
Need for Diagnosing Acute Rheumatic Symptoms
 Shown By Heavy Toll of ChiIdrens Deaths

The relationship of acute rheu- matte heart disease was emphasized in an article by Amy Breyer, M. D.. Crippled Children Physician. in the current issue of tine Monthly Bull 1etin of the State Department of Health. She pointed out that this disease is leading cause of death among children in the to 19 year ages.
 The need for diagonsing rheu- matic fever is very urgent since there is a direct relationship be- tween acute rheumatic fever and rheumatic heart disease. Rheumatic heart disease is a term applied to the cardiac condition resulting from acute rheumatic fever; it is a re- suit rather than a complication. Prevention of the first attack of acute rheumatic fever would ob- viously eliminate the problem of rheumatic heart disease; however, since this cannot be done today, the next best solution is prevention Of occurrences of acute rheumatic fever. What makes the problem 80 difncult is that the symptoms of rheumtaic fever are more or less elusive.
 Doctor Breyer commented fur Lther: Finding out whether child lhaS rheumatic heart disease is of ,signincance chiefly because he is

FIGHTING 4TH'
 RETURNS TO U. s. FROM ALASKA

Headquarters, Alaskan Detach- ment-(UP)-The Fighting Fourth Infantry" which pioneered military development of Alaska, has re- turned to the United States after one of the wars longest tours of overseas duty with many tales of valor to add to its colorful history, dating back to the time of George Washington.
 The Fourth Infantry regiments first battalion, which arrived in Seward, Alaska, in June, 1940, played a decisive role in the bloody battle of Attu, and the graves of many of its officers and men are marked by wooden crosses in the bleak islands Little Falls cemetery.
 The regiments second battalion took part in what was perhaps the largest movement of troops and equipment by air up to that time. That was last year when the Jap anese moved into the Aleutians and it appeared they might attack Nome. More than 2,000 fully equipped troops were moved by Army and civilian plane in an 18- day period to reinforce the Nome garrison. Later the battalion helped establish the chain of bases in the A1eutians.
 The third battalion, including two companies stationed at Chilkoot barracks for many years before the war, helped establish the two big bases at Ladd field and Fort Rich ardson.
 Veterans of the first battalion were called in at critical point in the Attu campaign, a week after the first American troops had landed on that fog-shrouded island. Car rying extra rations and ammunition the troops were marched directly to the enemy less than "A hours after landing.
 Casualties have been heavy be- cause of exposure and immersion foot" among the other American

''Lunchtime Follies"
 Popular In Factories
Complete Half=f1Our Programs for Employees Now
 Offered By American Theater Wing

So successful have been the half hour performances of the American Theater Wings "Lunchtime Follies, '' at war production plants in the New York, Philadelphia and Baltimore metropolitan areas that the Wing is now offering plants in all sections of the country, no matter how re- mote, mail-order entertainment units schemed to it their peculiar needs.
 Since 1t IS not feasible to send Wing-recruited companies of the 'Lunchtime Follies" to plant more than one hundred miles from New York, the Wing, after 8 survey of the personnel and the type of en- tertainment desirable, can offer, thanks to the reservoir of material prepared and assembled during the

Bellancas and two old Ford tri- motored obs. Bg midnight the same day the ack-ack units had been moved and the big shuttle move ment was under way. The midnight sun, providing almost a full 24 hours of daylight. made it possible for some of the planes to make two trips in a single day.
 Ammunition, rations, tents, and even 37-millimeter guns and field kitchens-everything to make the force self-sufficient-were moved by air without a single accident. Heavy weapons were brought up later by boat.

past year, complete half-hour pro- grams which can be staged and played by plant employees.
 The Wing has found that per- sonnel heads in plants throughout the country are rapidly recognizing the value of entertainment for mor- ale and recreative purposes. Most plants have been handicapped in attempts to provide entertainment by lack of material. The Wing feels that its mail-order entertainment units will vastly stimulate amuse- ment activities in these plants. Thus far the "Lunchtime Follies" mail order service has circularized some 1,200 plants to determine their varied entertainment wishes and re- quirements. And the office atop the historic Lyseum theater, 149 West 46th street, is beginning to receive requests from the midwest.

troops, but the Alaska veterans were inured to the elements and weather-caused casualties were vir- tuaily non-existent in their ranks.
 After suffering many casualties while fighting the Japs on high ridges, the first battalion took a portion of a high peak on the north east end of ridge, giving the Tanks a commanding position overlooking the main ridge running east toward the Chicagof valley. The fighting continued throughout the night and by 5:30 p. m. the enemy resistance had ended on the slopes.
 The next day, after the final big counter-attack by more than 1000 Japanese, two companies of the Fourth were sent to help clear the enemy out of Sarana valley and the high ground surrounding the area. Later, the battalion was assigned the task of conbing the area and hunting out the scattered Japanese stragglers.
 Five officers and SO enlisted men of the battalion were killed, but the Fourth added another battle streamer to its colors-no other unit of the Army boasts as many.
 Dutch Harbor was still smolder- ing from two Japanese bombing raids, enemy surface craft had been reported in strength and an uni- identified plane circled over Nome when the decision was made to fortify the Far North outposts by air. The second battalion, rein- forced with engineer, field artillery and anti-aircraft units into 8 force of more than 1000 troops, hastily prepared to depart from the Fort Richardson area.
 Only small number of Army transport planes were available and orders required that the vanguard of the force-20 anti-aircraft guns and their crews-be in Nome within 24 hours. All civilian air traffic in Alaska was stopped that day and every suitable plane in the territory was requisitioned for the movement.

apt to nave another attack of acute rheumatic fever against which pre- ventive measures should be taken. The diagnosis of heart disease can- not always be made by physical examination alone since heart mur- murs are frequently found in per- fectly normal children and since the murmur of rheumatic heart disease is not absolutely characteristic. Chil- dren who have any manifestation of rheumatic fever should be classi- fled as potential cardiac cases. To make a definite diagnosis, further study should be carried out; name ly, a complete medical history, a complete physical examination, lab oratory tests, x-rays, fuorosocopic and electrocardiographic examina- tionS."

.LECCE AVERTS
 STORE PANIC

Fearful of creating a panic in Rowland Hughes yesterday after noon when a blaze was discovered in the rubbish chute as he was passing by, Capt. Eugene A. Legge of the fire marshal's office, did not turn in an alarm but ordered an inch and half hose line dropped down an elevator shaft from the third floro. Taking the hose, he entered the unlighted compartment a tthe basement of the rubbish chute and extinguished the blaze.
 Store employees had previously emptied IA fire extinguishers on the blaze without checking 1t, and smoke permeated several floors of the building.
 Damage was negligible. The fire was believed to have started from a carelessly discarded cigarette.

STILL JOCKEYING

After all these years. and with
war a year and half old. the
three big labor union leaders in
Washington are agreed-no matter
how much they quarrel among
themselves-that the War Labor
Board is not a proper set-up to
"Hold-the-Line" order. Lewis is
leading the opposition but Green
and Murray entertain about the
same theories as Lewis. and that
big continue to jockey for ad-
vantages for their own future trays
and fracases. The Board has ap-
pealed to Stabilizer Byrnes to lib
eralize their authority. Congress
jockeys. too. with temporary stop
gap legislation. In short. the man
power situation is in bad shape to
deal with and prevent strikes. The
coal mine troubel is only chap
ter in the 10-year old record of
union labor struggles.

TIME TO CLEAN HOUSE

Government seizure of the coal
mines is the elimination Of class
Legislation administered by class
conscious political agencies. If
present labor laws are not amend
ed and henceforth administered
with an eye to justice rather than,
social prejudice, government seiz-
ure of private activity will be neil
ther temporary nor confined to the
coal industry.
0ne-sided legislation such as the
Wagner Act developed racketeers
who, aided by politicians seeking
the voting power of organized la
Dor, threaten destruction of indi-
vldual liberty and specialization of
productive enterprise. No longer
can the publ cafford to sit idly by
while powerful agencies of govern
ment favor one group over another,
merely because ii is good political
strategy to do so. We have seen
the result of that kind of favor
itism.
Hiding within the framework of
our government are officials who
will attempt to use the emergency
to make coal a permanently So
cialized industry. Just such
emergencies" have led to the de-
struction of free societies through
out the world.
The coal mine operators have be-
come mere puppet managers of
their own properties, and the min
ers have lost their freedom of ac-
ton. No wonder the people are
against class legislation
such as the Wagner Act and the
Guffey Coal Act which grant spe-
cial privileges to powerful groups.

RELIGION IN BOOKS
By KOY L. TAwEs

THE INTENTION OF JESUS, by
John Wick Bowman. Westminster
Press, Philadelphia. $3.50. A Re-
ligious Book Club selection. One
theological professor OF note says
Of this book 'the most credible
speaking likeness of the real Jesus
that have ever encountered. /"
This scholarly work presents Jesus
as "Crucified Savior, Lord of the
Church" The call is for member
ship in the new Israel, universal
in principle. unified by allegiance
to one Lord and cemented by the
sacrifice of His body and blood"
Our Lords claim to the hearts of
men receives careful study. Jesus
made plain to His own that He de-
sired them to live the Kingdom life
in closest fellowship, and He was
to be their Mediator. Jesus gath
cred up the best of the prophetic
tradition, and lived that best in a
single life. The portrait of this
book is clear. and many ministers
will benefit by these chapters con-
cerning the original spirit, the
unique personality of our Saviour
and Lord.
ONE LORD. ONE FAITH. by
Floyd v. Filson. Westminster

early church understand Jesus?
Latest scholarship in New Testa-
ment theology and literature is
brought to bear upon the question.
Here is profitable study in the
Early Church during the years be-
tween the resurrection of Jesus
and the conversion of Paul. The
author contends that the Christian
Church is based on a known his

able documents. Critical study is

In all fundamental matters there
existed real continuity between
Jesus and the Primitive Church. I
