Spleen Enlargement
May be Result of
Varied Ailments

By HERMAN M. BUNDEsEN. NJ. I
THE spleen. which is located IN
the left, upper part Of the abdo-
men, often may become enlarged.
The exact function Of the spleen Is
not known. As q general rule, In
normal persons, the spleen cannot
be felt through the wall of the alb
domen. However. when 1t becomes
enlarged, 1t is possible TO feel 1t
and, in such instances, the spleen
is said TO be pAlpAble.
Enlargement Of the spleen may
be brought on by . number of dis
orders. For example, it may oc-
cur in leukemia, cirrhosis Of the
liver, a disease of the blood called
Banti's disease and also when
there are infections Of the liver
such as epidemic hepatitis. Ma
lAria and typhoid fever also cause
splenie enlargement
Patients Examined
In q large number Of patients
with enlargement Of the spleen
Who were examined by Doctor
William F. Lipp and his co-work-
ers Of New York, q definite cause
for the splenic enlargement could
not be found. Some Of the patients
had gall bladder disease and gall
stones. 1t is generally believed
that some damage to the liver oc-
ours in gallbladder infections, and
it may be that the liver infection is
responsible in cases Of gall blad-
der disease for the fact that the
spleen enlarges in size.
A number Of patients had Wis
eeroptosis, which means that the
organs Of the abdomen had
dropped out of their normal posi-
ton. In such instances, the spleen
itself is normal butscAn be felt
only because it is not in its usual
place within the abdominal cav
ity. Some Of the patients had had
conditions in the past which may
have accounted for the splenie en-
largement For example, some had
typhoid fever; others had suf-
fered from jaundice, and still
others were accustomed to the ex-
cessive use Of alcoholic beverages.
Feeling Spleen
In making a complete physical
examination, the doctor always
attempts TO ascertain il the spleen
can be felt. II he finds that this is
possible, the next step is to deter
mine whether the spleen is en-
1arged or normal in size and just
out Of its usual position. II he
rinds that it is enlarged, he viii at
tempt to determine the cause for
it In doing this a careful study
Of the blood is important.
Often the cause for the enlarge
ment will be found in some disor-
order which the patient has had in
earlier life. However, every case
of enlarged spleen deserves care
full study. Then the proper treat
ment may be carried out depending
on what has caused the spleen to
increase in size.

u. S. Warned Against
Racial Disturbances

group accused becomes frightened
and shows IT, This lends color to
the tales.
Then come the incidents"
Incidents usually begin to occur In
crowded places. They might be
passed of and forgotten u q back.
ground Of hate. fear and suspicion
had not been built up. As one OBJ
server said to me: "Rlots always
start when folks get out and bump
into each other"
The third point to look for when II
is clear that rumors have been
thick and incidents have begun to
happen Is some subversive group
which may be promoting the trouble
for Its own ends. Some OF these
groups viii have very high and
mighty ideals and very frequently
they viii be wrapped up In the Dag.
(Ku Klux, Black Legion, etc.)
The fourth point to watch Is crime
reports because It Is really the
hooligan element which finally steps
In to do the actual rioting.
The fifth Is the police attitude. II
there L. evidence Of increased
friendliness with the hooligan ele-
ment and Of a distrust Of the police
by the minority group II usually
means that the tension has reached
a high point - the forces OF order
and the forces Of disorder are maxi
ing common cause against the al
legged threat of the minority.
The two other danger points are
congestion, Of which l spoke before
dumping into each other) which
may grow out Of crowded housing.
and labor conditions where the
minority protests or appears to
threaten to protest discrimination In
hiring and airing.
With these points as q guide any
citizen can learn to recognize the
symptoms of danger. There are
plenty OF people In any community
who know what Is happening - the
people whose work takes them into
the danger zones, like social workers
and police reporters. A school teach
er can learn a lot from what the
children say and do.
But long before the situation
reaches even the rurnor stage there
must be emergency planning In the
community. A program must be set
up In which certain groups have GER
tain definite things TO do the moment
the observers" see the danger sig
mails. Here they are:
Be sure the mayor knows exact
ly what steps to take to get the help
Of the state militia. Have the clergy
men lined up to use their influence
and II necessary appear In person
-mobs respect the church. Work
out school programs. radio pro-
grams, newspaper campaigns-the
veterans organizations and the boy
scouts will help, the civic and pub
lie utilities, labor and business will
cooperate.
