Await Court Action
The showdown on super-sen-
iority will probably wait for Su-
preme Court action, with the
Justice Dept. still quietly refus-
ing to hand down an interpreta-
ton of the law, which President
Truman requested.
Myer Bernstein, representa-
tive of the CIO Veterans Com
mittee, suggested that veterans
should receive 500 monthly sub
sistence allowance for schooling
under the bill with $25 for each
dependent up to a maximum of
three. He demanded changes in
the CT Bill "to require the states
of apprenticeship standards tx
to adopt the Federal Committee
eliminate exploitation of victims
and guarantee that he receive
training which will be of actual
value to him."
Seek Vet Protection
The CIO representative also
called for administration of home
loans to veterans by u. S. houS-
ing authorities to protect service
men from real estate specula-
tors, elimination of the present
price limits on artificial limbs so
that the Veterans Administration
can supply the best possible ap-
pliances, and provision for ap-
peal from discharge ordered
by general court martial.
Changes which Bernstein ask
ed in the housing provisions of
the CT Bill of Rights included:
Cd Amortization period for payz-
ments of loans b. extended frong
20 to 80 years; e2) Extension of
time of application to ten years
after discharge of all draftees,
now limited to two years after
discharge.

Fogarty asked. You know as

Pancrealtis
Brings Pain,
no Fever

III 4 ~ u
BY HERMAN NJ. BUNDESEN VI. +
WHEN a fat person is suddenly
seized with an attack Of severe
pain in the upper part Of the abb
domen, has no fever, but vomits
and develops shock or collapse, It
Is possible that the condition
known as acute pancreatitis is
present. This is a disorder in which
there is inflammation Of the PAN
creas, the gland that supplies the
body with insulin needed so that
the body can use sugars.
In addition TO these symptoms
there may be severe pain in the
left upper part Of the abdomen
when it is touched and there is also
swelling Of the abdomen.
Swelling Of Tissues
In acute pancreatitis there may
be edema or swelling Of the tissues
of the pancreas, due to a collection
of fluid in them, together with in
flammation. This type of disturb
ance may gradually subside.
In other instances, the trouble
may be due to what is called
hemorrhagic necrosis, that is death
of the tissues in the pancreas, to-
gether with hemorrhage into them
and, in such instances, prompt
operation is necessary. Hence,
when acute pancreatitis occurs 1t is
necessary to know which Of the
two types is present so that proper
treatment may be carried out
Substance in Blood
According to Doctor John Nor
ton of Rochester. New York, this
distinguishing one condition from
the other may be accomplished by
the study of a certain substance
found in the blood and called amyl-
ase. Amylase is an engine or sub
stance which breaks up starches
and it is possible to measure the
amount of amylase present by GER
tain chemical tests.
In patients with edema Of the
pancreas the amylase in the blood
rises rapidly to a high level and
then falls. In case of necrosis, the
amylase level may not be as high
but is likely to remain elevated for
a long time. The blood amylase
normally is between 60 and 200.
Too much amylase indicates acute
pancreatitis.
A moderate amount may mean
that an ulcer of the stomach or in
testine has broken into the pam
creas. II there is too little amylase
it is probable that the symptoms
are due to some cause other than
pancreatitis. Conditions which
may be confused with pancreatitis
are heart disorders, peritonitis or
Inflammation Of the lining menu
brane Of the abdomen, severe gall
bladder disease and blocking of the
intestines.
The treatment of acute pam
creatitis will, of course. depend on
the type Of disorder present. Com
plete rest and the use Of drugs to
stimulate the patient and over
come the shock may be all that is
necessary in the cases due To
edema, but once, it is decided that
there is necrosis or death Of the
tissues, immediate operation may
be advised.
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
