POLITICAL PARADE
BY George Rothwell Brown.

IN JUDGING the two months
Il Of the administration Of
Harry Truman 1t should be
borne In mind that the presi-
dency 10 not all that he has in
hsrits6.
Mr.. Roosevelt's successor also
has fallen heir to q great many
Of the dornsstic policies Of his
predecessor, aad most Of them
carrying the pressure groups
which are actively behind these
policies.
The first two months of the
new White House regime have
been among the NEST fruitful In
our history. A genuine area Of
good feeling has existed, not
matched since the days Of
James Monroe.
Two Of the policies which the
new president he's inherited. and
which he has felt obliged to en-
dorse, have sounded q very sour
note at the CsP'o..
DREsIDENT TRUMAN Is en-
i countering his first opposi-
ton on the fair employment
practices proposition and the
elaborate scheme to tide over
the recouvsrsion period by the
payment Of Unemployment ben
efits as high as S25 q week
for 26 weeks.
Both have encountered op-
position In that part Of the
country where real hostility
might easily prove fatal to the
political future Of the President
the South.
The Presidents reconversion
plan has encoyatersd q stony
reception, especially within his
own party In the House Of Rep
resentatives, while the fair
practices proposition, now in
ominous deadlock in the lower
body of Congress, is veritable
dynamite.
A BILL on q national scale
"A very much like the law
which New York has enacted,
with the ardent support OF Gov.
Dewey, has been caught In a
cleverly maneuvered Jam" In
the House rules committee.
II the efforts Of the left-of.
center group, led by Rep. Mar
cantonio OF New York, to force
this proposition to a vote in the
House, should prove successful,
ii would precipitate a southern
revolt against the man
leadership which might have
the most serious consequences.
There are reasons for believ-
ing that certain Democratic
members OF the rules commit
tee. who are blocking the fair
practices bill there, thus pre-
venting it from coming to q
showdown in the House itself,
are Of the opinion that they are
In reality serving the best in
terests Of the President HIM
self.
That Is the mood they are in.
and there II much to support
this view.

MR.. HARVEY JACOBS,
AVA prominent Washington law
yer, has q Is acre farm in
Maryland. Since food supplies
got tough. various members of
the National Press Club have
been pestering him to bring
them chickens and things.
Among the most importunste
were Mr.. Charles Niche and
Mr.. Frank McAfee. The latter,
VINO owns q deep freeze, ara.
ciously informed Mr.. Jacobs he
would accept all the chickens
the latter could supply.
This got Mr.. Jacobs a trifle
irked, 50 q couple Of days later
he brought q package into the
bar and told Mr.. McAfee, in
front OF . large gathering, that
he had brought him his poultry.
McAfee unwrapped the pack
age-and out tumbled q huge
horned owl!
TT DOESN'T take much to
i make us laugh around the
club these days, 80 naturally
we.all howled. Mr.. Jacobs the
loudest.
Mr.. McAfee finally departed
with his owl. but a couple Of
days later came in grinning
like al get-out. This II what
happened:
He took the owl TO the Ma
tional Museum to consult q
taxiderInist. An official looked
at the defunct bird and promptly
went into ecstasies.

. great horned owl. It's praetic-
ally extinct In America! And
this h eae Of the finest speci-
mems I have ever seen. It's far
superior to the one We have
hore!"
The upshot was that the
museum offered Mr.. McAfee
$50 for the owl, which has a
50 inch winsspread. But Mr..
MeAfee said he Is thinking Of
being public spirited and do
natingit.

IN MANY ways, the treat
L msnt Of kidney disease has
not changed to any great extent
in recent years except for one
disorder known as pyelonephritis.
This Ii a condition In which
there Is Inflammation not only
Of the kidney substance itself,
but also Of the pelvis of the kid
ney where the excretions collect
before they pass into the blad-
der. Either one or both OF the
kidneys may be affected.
FORTUNATELY. In the early
L stage Of pyelonephritis, a
diagnosis, as q rule. Is easy.
The condition starts suddenly
with fever, pain on emptying the
bladder. and pain and tender
ness In the back over one or
both kidneys. An examination
Of the urine will show not only
the presence Of large numbers
Of white blood cells but also, in
most instances, Of the germs
which are causing the trouble.
Once the disease d becomes
chronic. a diagnosis may be
more difficult to make.
In these instances, there may
be white cells, called pus cells
when they are found outside OF
the blood stream, present In the
urine at times. while at other
times the urine may appear
fairly normal. X-rays OF the
kidneys may be helpful in dag
osing the disorder in such cases.
IN TREATING the early or
i acute stage OF pyelonephritis,
according TO DR.. Hugh Gains
borough OF London, the type Of
treatment employed will depend
somewhat on the severity of the
condition.
When the disorder starts sud-
denly with high fever and much
toxemia or poisoning. il Is often
wise merely to put the patient
10 bed, give him large amounts
Of fluids, limit the amount OF
food, and administer some aka
line substance, such as sodium
citrate, every three to four
hours.
Within three to four days, as
q rule, the fever and toxemia
Win begin to disappear. Then q
