Disease
Hits Arteries

By HERMAN N. BUNDESEN NJ. D
BURGERS disease is a con-
dition that affects the arteries, par
tieularly those Of young men who
smoke. At the onset Of this disease,
the symptoms are so mild that the
disorder may be confused with
other conditions. Often the patient,
mistakingly thinking that his dis
comfort is due to trouble with the
arches in his feet, will have pads
put in his shoes to support his
arches and have his legs massaged.
Finally. the condition progress
es far enough so that a diagnosis
Of Burgers disease is made. Yet,
according 10 Doctor Geza de TAX
ats of Chicago, if a diagnosis is
made early, and the patient stops
smoking, is given plenty Of fluids
and salt, and injections Of typhoid
vaccine, the progress Of the entire
condition may be checked, In ad-
dition, all sources Of infection, in
Guiding ringworm infection, should
be eliminated.
Muscular Pain
In the later stages Of Burgers
disease there is pain in the muscles
after exercise, such as walking.
This condition is known as inter
mittent claudication. According 70
Doctor de Takats, when the di.
sease has reached this stage, the
patient must be carefully studied
by measuring the skin tempera.
&ure OF the legs, arms, heels ana
toes. Injections are given by the
doctor to block the sympathetic
nerves which control the size Of
the blood vessels.
II it is found that certain Of
the toes do not regain normal tenn
perature after this blocking Of
the sympathetic nerves, it cannot
be expected that an operation for
cutting these nerves will bring
about improvement.
Cutting Nerves
In the later stages Of Burgers
disease, the cutting Of the sympa-
thetic or involuntary nerves does
help in some cases. II the patient
is doing manual labor or is ex-
posed to cold, every effort should
be made 70 find for him a type
Of work which does not permit
exposure to cold, thus preventing
further damage TO the arteries.
The condition may continue 70
the point where the circulation to
the toes is so deficient that gang
rene or death Of the tissue de-
velops. In such instances, an am
outation may be required.
Further studies Of Burgers
disease are needed to determine
just what produces it. Then per-
haps it may be possible TO de-
velop means of treatment which
will permanently check the pro-
gress Of the condition.

On page one, paragraphs three, four and five the Investigating com mittee says, "We have not, in any sense of the word conducted an in- vestigation of ORGANIZED LA BOR as such. A reading of this report will show that the legiti- mate activities of organized labor are not subject of discussion herein. Our investigations have been concerned solely with, the COMMUNIST PENETRATION of the CIO.
 The Special Committee on Un- American Activities does not chal- lenge for one moment the right of organized labor to engage in politi- cal campaigns within the limits of the statutes which govern such ac- tivity. The irresponsible and un- truthful charge that we would deny to organized labor any of it's lawful rights does not deter US from ex- posing the SUBVERSIVE ACTIVI- TIES of the Communists who have, in line with their current strategy. decided to WORK THROUGH THE CIO.
 We assert at the outset, and have tried to make clear elsewhere in this report, that we do not impeach the Americanism of the overwhelm- ing majority of the rank and file members of the unions which are affiliated with the Congress of In- dustrial Organizations. Whether they belong to these unions by choice or coercion, there are mill lions of these rank and file CIO members who are WHOLLY GUILTLESS of any sympathy with communism. The same CANNOT BE SAID of thousands of the LEADERS, high and low. of the CIO who are most energetically carrying on the activities of the CIO.
