QUESTIONS, ANSWERS

p 7. N-PlesSe comment on
a statement Jaw recently In
the paper. that II is unhealth-
ful 10 have plants IN the sick
room.
Answer I know OF no spe-
Cial reason that plants are un-
healthfuI in the sick room eX-
cept IN the case Of certain
plants. such As primrose, TO
which many people are sensitive
so much so that they pro-
duce allergic reactions.
Plants are certainly good for
the psychology Of a convalesCent
patient and they take one side
Of the respiratory cycle of ma
ture which states that animals
breathe out carbon dioXIde and
use oxygen and that plants
breathe out oxygen and utilize
carbon dioNide. Therefore,
plants and animals 60 together.
OF course. If the patient is
pretty sick and the plants have
a heavy odor, they had best he
removed. bur this is merely
common sense.
II. Glow is a person af-
feCted who has a dllated ESQ
phagus? Is there any cure for
a person suffering from this
condition >
Answer Dllated esophagus is
usually the result Of an obstruc-
ton which is in the entrance
10 the stomach.
The symptoms are fullness
after eating, with regurgitatlon
Of food into the mouth and &C.
caSional vomiting.
Cure is accomplished by dilat-
Ing the obstruction

McNair Extons Infantry
As The Queen Of Battles

Infantry is still the queen OF bat
ties, 1t. Gen. Lesley J. McNair, In
command of the Army Ground
Forces, declared yesterday in an ad-
dress on the Army Hour broadcast
by NBC as he warned that air and
sea power alone will not win the war
Military men know that the
greatness of the German Army
throughout the years has stemmed
from its infantry" Gen. McNair
said. THE Jap infantry is that
army's most formidable branch. It
is high time that our people appre-
ciate and glorify our own infantry"
The general pointed out that we
now have growing naval and air
superiority, yet there has been no
decision; the enemy still is strong
and defiant"
The ever-present front lines of
the maps are simply where the in
fantryman is. 1t is true that he is
supported magnif1cently by artillery
and air. but this support is behind
and above him. There is nothing
in front Of him but the enemy. The
only force that can break the hos
tile infantry is our own infantry"

Smith Group Hits 0PA's
Recent Meat Price Order
BY the Assoeia.ed Press

BY the Assoeiated Press.
The Once of Price Administration
drew a stern rebuke from the Smith
Committee OF the House today-its
second this month-for its handling
of meat prices.
The committee, headed by Rere-
sentative Smith, Democrat, of Vir-
ginia, found that OPA has exceeded
its powers and violated express pro-
visions of the Price Control Act by
setting maximum prices that were
not generally fair and equitable on
meats on all levels between
slaughterer and retailer. and in
recommending to the director of
economic stabilization that indirect
ceilings be fixed on live cattle"
The same committee, created by
the House early this year to check
on activities of executive depart
ments, assailed OPA in a report
earlier this month for assuming
powers not expressly given it by
Congress.
The effect OF OPAs meat price
order, the committee said today, was
Ito favor, foster and encourage
monopolistic tendencies to concen-
trate the meat-slaughtering business
in the hands Of the comparatively
few large processing slaughterers
and to destroy the much greater
number Of small independent
slaughterers who operate without
processing facilities"
