They got out and tied Nebuchad-

Your Health
War Strain May

War Strain May
Cause Increase
in Ulcer Cases
By 4. y. BUNDERSEN, N. d.
II has been estimated that be
tween 10 and 60 per cent Of those
persons who have ulcers Of the
stomach and first part Of the bowel
have bleeding from these ulcers. 1t
is said that the number Of bleeding
ulcers is increasing. due to the alb
normal physical and mental strain
associated with the war. Bleeding
generally occurs because a small
artery at the base Of the ulcer Is
eroded or broken open.
When Ulcer Bleeds
Should an ulcer begin 10 bleed,
the patient should be put 20 bed
rest at once. Visitors should be
kept away. These two things will
help to bring on relaxation, which
in turn helps to lessen the amount
Of acid in the stomach and de-
crease the movements of the stom-
ach. giving the ulcer q chance TO
heal.
1t is also important TO quiet the
patient, TO lessen his fears, since
anxiety and fear also increase the
secretions and activity Of the stom-
ach. The patient should realize
that bleeding is a frequent compi-
cation in ulcers and that it re-
spends well to the proper treat
ment.
II the patient is restless, the
physician may give him such a
drug as morphine in certain in
stances. Other physicians use such
drugs as phenobarbital.
Another step in the treatment is
to give plenty Of fluids. The fluids
may be given by mouth, or by in
lection under the skin when there
is vomiting.
II these two methods do not give
the patient sufficient fluids, the
fluids may be injected directly into
a vein.
II the patients pulse rate gets
too fast or his blood pressure be-
gins to fall because of the bleeding,
the injection of blood into a vein
may be life-saving.
Laxative drugs should not be
employed. About the fifth day Of
treatment, injection into the lower
bowel, that is an enema, may be
employed to produce bowel move
ment, If it is necessary.
Further Steps
Further steps in the treatment
consist in giving alkalies such as
baking soda and magnesium sub
carbonate. demonstrating drugs
may also be employed.
Not so many years ago, when
a patient had a bleeding ulcer he
was starved for a period of time.
At present he is at once given a diet
made up Of milk, cream, butter,
eggs, strained cereals and other
soft foods. Feelings are given at
two-hour intervals between 500
a. m. and 500 Pm.
In a very few instances Of bleed
ing ulcer, operation may be re-
quired, depending on the extent Of
the bleeding. With modern treat
ment, prompt relief usually is OBJ
tanned.

Is Predicted For japan

SAN FRANCISCO, June 10.-(P)
The Tokyo radio said today that
America had massed from 700 to
800 Superfortresse in the Mari
anas and had brought Liberators
to OkinaWa for intensified air raids
against Japan.
American air spokesman have
promised Nippon that as the pitch
of the air war rises, 1,000-plane
raids by Superfortresses will hit
the home islands.
The Japanese agency, Donei, in
a broadcast heard by the Federal
Communications Commission, de-
clared that the Americans had put
10 air fields into operation on
Okinawa, 1925 miles south of Japan,
and on Okinawa's neighborng is
land of lie.
broadcast continued, Liberators,
two-engined Mitchell bombers and
B-26 Marauders had struck Japan.

out confirmation from Allied
sources that 80 Allied fighters and
bombers had raided the rich oil
center of Balikpapan in southeast

by Domei that the special session
Of the diet, assembled to grant the
powers of a dictator or Premier
Kantaro Suzuki, was being held
over an additional day to give
more time for debate.
The broadcasts added that pas
sage of the measure empowering
Suzuki to rule by decree without
consent of the diet would not mean
martial law and would be adopted
ito be used only in an emery
ency."
While the diet debated, the cabi-
net announced the reorganization

WAR PLANTS STRUCK
Six Enemy Planes Hit Off
Okinawa; One Cargo
Vessel Sunk

GUAM, Monday, June 11.-WR-
American Thunderbolt fighters at
lacking Japanese installations on
Kyushu shot down II enemy planes
yesterday while Superfortresses
blasted aircraft plants and other
war industries on Honshu, it was
disclosed today.
The japanese managed to get
planes owe. the OkinaWa area Sat-
urday but six were shot down by
combat air patrols and antiair-
craft gunners.
Search bombers of Fleet Air
Wing l sank a small cargo ship
and damaged larger vessel of
Korea, while privateers scored hits
on three small merchantmen in
the Sitsumshima strait, according
to Fleet Adm. Chester w. Nimitz
communique.
GA Japanese broadcast recorded
by the FEC asserted that between
700 and 300 ''first line aircraft"
now are included in American
Superfortresses based on the Ma
-ianas and that American air
strength on Two Jima and in and
around Okinawa is increasing.
This dispatch said 10 American
airfields were working on Okinawa
and adjacent lie island, and that
B-24 Liberator, heavy bombers and
Mitchell and Waraude- medium
bombers were based there.)
First reports here said that from
$50 to 200 Superfortresses, escort
ed by about 100 fighter planes,
carried out today's attack On five
Honshu targets, four of them new.
Tokyo broadcasts said that 300 big
bombers were in the raiding fo--
nations, centering on the Tokyo
area.
The Japanese diet has been re-
ported in session at Tokyo, al
though enemy broadcasts gave no
hint that the attacks had endanger-
ed it. B-29 targets were in the out
er fringes of Tokyo district and
not in the city itself.
Bombing both usually and by
instrument, the B-29's went in at
medium altitude against weak re-
sistance from Japanese fighter
planes and scanty to moderate an
ti-aircraft fire.
Observers here noted that the
Saturday and Sunday B-29 opera
tons marked new phase in the
air war against Japan-the sing
ling out of specific single targets
for hammer blows from the air,
rather than the smashing of an
entire area.
Three targets hit were in the
Tokyo area, the Hitachi Aircraft
Co. Chiba plant 20 miles southeast
of Tokyo; the Japan Aircraft Co.,
Tomika plant, builder of aircraft
frames and engines, on the west
ern shore of Tokyo bay, and Army
air depot at Tochikawa, "a miles
west of the capital. The Chiba and
Tomika plants were new targets.
