and Dan f0bIn on the other.
The CIO and the AFL are
degenerating into political
agencies of the New Deal and
the opposition 10 the New Deal.
In the Go the issue is very
clear. The combination Of Sid
ney Hillman and the communist
unions is becoming so strongly
cntrenched in that organization
that the American labor unions
are recognizing the necessity OF
reviewing their own affiliations
with that body.
IN THE ALL a similar split Is
Il appearing. The majority Of
the executive council continues
10 follow the dictates Of Mr..
Roosevelt, bat IL rs narrow
majority and growing narrower
every day. One vote would have
changed the picture in the last
meeting at Miami.
The issue is not the readmis-
sion of John l.. Lewis and the
United Mine Workers; that isi
only a symptom of the dispute.
The real issue is whether the
AFL is 10 be an appendage Of
the White House or an indepen-

"DYsPEPsIA is the solace

old friend, DR.. Adrian Gibbs,
says.
1T is pure tragedy to see the
deterioration of a nice young
fellow who has been fascinated
in medical school by the actions
of the digestive tract and has
therefore decided to specialize
in digestive diseases.
He expects all his patients
will have some real disease of
the stomach or intestine or gull
let, or some chemical derange-
ment of secretion that he can
adjust after careful study. And
then il gradually dawns on him
after he has been in practice
