RHEUMATIC FEVER AND HEART
 VALVES

There is a popular niisapprehen- sion that some kind of damage to the heart Is likely to occur in any case Of so-called rheumatism, what- ever that may be.
 Tn the serious Illness Of children and adolescents 0ess commonly in adults) properly called acute infec- tious arthritis but known to the old timers and to shrewd practitioners today as rheumatic fever, the chief danger is that the Streptococcus or Pneumococcus that causes the in- flammation of joint or joints and the fever may lodge in the lining of the heart and produce inflam- nation of joint or joints and the fever may lodge in the lining of the heart and produce inflammation of the lining membrane (endocarditis) and, if the inflammation happens to involve the area of a heart valve. perhaps distort the valve so it will not close perfectly, and that means valvular disease. valvular leakage, which is usually permanent. al- though with intelligent care the heart will in the course Of months or years enlarge (hypertrophyD suf- ficiently to pump more than the normal quantity of blood at each beat and thus compensate for the leakage and maintain efficient cir~ culation.
 Yes, sir. I confess I am horribly conscious of the preposterous length of the foregoing sentence. but. ding 1t, l haven't the space to chop 1t up into short sentences.
 Heart valves are folds or flaps of tIe serous membrane that lines the heart-a membrane similar to the membrane that lines the joints. The valve most frequently damaged by such Streptococcus or Pneumococ- GUS lodgment is the mitral valve. This valve of two cusps or leaves opens to permit blood to flow from the left auricle. to which the blood has come from the lungs freshly areated or oxygenized or purified, into the left yentricle: and then closes to prevent backflow or leak- age of the blood when the heart beats or contracts to pump the blood out into the great artery tarO- ta).
 The competent physician attend ing a patient with acute infectious arthritis or rheumatic fever or ''inflammatory rheumatism" listens to the heart at every visit for any sign of development of this compii- cation. It is in the hope of prevent ing such lodgment of the germs which circulate in the blood stream that the physician orders complete rest for the patient with acute iT- fectious arthtritis-and incidentally 1t is for the same reason that phy- sicians advise complete rest in bed in various minor illness in which such involvement of the heart lin- ing or valves may occur-for in- stance in acute tonsillitis. qlinsy. scarlet fever, septic sore throat and the early stage Of chorea lst.

Price Control And Rent Freezing
Wins Supreme Court Approval

Washington (FPD. - Two national
wartime measures that mean much ~
every American worker and his FAM
lily won the approval of the |. :.
Supreme Court March - when it up
held the conStitutiOnality of rent freez-
ing and price control by the federal
government.
The rent control case originated in
Macon, Ga. where Mrs. Kate {. Will
ingham challenged the right of the
OpA'S administrator to fix rents and
the case came to the Supreme Court
on direct appeal by the government.
In an 81 decision read by Justice
VIM. Q. Douglas. the high court said
that Il contention that individual hear
ings be granted every landlord in
every rent freezing case might have
defeated the program of price control.
National security might not he able
to afford the luXuries of litigation and
the long delays which preliminary
hearings traditionally have entailed.'
The decision said there was mo
grant of unbridled administration dis.

but that congress has directed that
maximum rents be fixed in those
areas where defense activities have
resulted or threatened to result in in
creased rentals inconsistent with the
purpose of the act"

Salem, OhiO.-LOcal AZ had a little
better turnout at their last meeting,
due to the fact that proposals were
presented to increase the monthly dues
of female members: also to add a fine
of five cents each month for those who
pay their dues on the shop, rather than
come to local.
These proposals will be read again
and voted on at our next meeting. So
members. especially female members,
please attend to vote and discuss this
altering of our Bylaws which reads
in part: "The monthly dues of this
local shall be 40 cents for female
members"

they are hearing only one side of the
case and that they are therefore mis-
informed. In our opinion, such misin-
formation Injuries morale.
Representatives of the AFL and
CIO suggested to Undersecretary of
War Robert =. Patterson at a recent
conference that if American troops are
actually misinformed the War Depart
ment owes responsibility to give
them the full truth.
1--WE recommended several ways in
which this responsibility could be eff
fectively carried out. One way would
be for the Army to state the facts on
war production officially to the serv-
icemen, in manner similar to the re-
cent Truman report Another way
would be to permit labor organizations
to make their own publications more
widely accessible to the soldiers, Il
privilege now severely curtailed by
Army regulations.
mo suggestion of any kind was
made that the War Department slant

get through Army publications. On the
