lines on Mindanao Island appeared
to be weakening.
An American oath Division column
which speared up the coast, throw
ing flank threat at stoutly-de-
Tended Sasa airfleld, did not meet
resistance until the end of full
days advance. At nightfall, it over

ssniper fire to reach within IL miles

For a year or SO. the so-called
liberals have been Agitating over
sovereignty-unlimited or limited
sovereignity. What that discus
sion amounted TO was how much
interference in the purely domes-
tic affairs of this country would
the American people tolerate from
outside. So far as the Big Three
are concerned, 1t is obvious that
they will tolerate no such inter
ference. Soviet Russia has shown
no disposition to open her doors
wide even for a look-see. Mr..
Churchill does not preside over
the British Empire for its dissolu.
ton. And the United States is
taking instructions from no one.
The other countries are not so
satisfactorily situated. Under the
San Francisco Charter. the Securi-
ty Council can at any time step IN
to make an investigation. Article
"a makes II clear:
1.-THE Security Council may inves-
tigate any dispute. or any situation
which might lead to international
friction or give rise to dispute.
in order to determine whether It's
continuance is likely to encanger
the maintenance OF international
peace and security"
What might lead TO international
friction? This country has had
frictions with Cuba over sugar
with Mexico over oil; Great Britain
ras had disputes with China over
trade; Soviet Russia Is now having
some difficulties with Turkey over
the passage OF ships through the
Dardanelles. Again, IL might be
asked, is the tariff purely domes-
tic ouestion-there are thousand
causes of friction in that. Or who
is the real boss of the Chinese prov
ince OF Sinkiang-Chiang Ksi-shek
or a Moslem group friendly TO So
Wet Russia? And how far into
internal causes may such an inves-
tigating committee go? There are
some Americans who desire this
country to choose the government
for the Argentine and others who
would have the United Nations
choose the government OF Spain.
Where does this end?
The United States once nearly
went to war with France because
OF the interferences in its internal
affairs by Citizen Genet. And for
many years. the relations between
the United States and Soviet Rus
STA were strained because Com
munists, many OF them American
citizens but recognized the Third
International as higher authority,
sought TO disrupt and even over
throw the government OF this coun-
try. The United States and Great
Britain we're unwilling TO have De
Gaulle head up France but the
French would have no other.
This question OF internal inter
ference is not solved By the San
Francisco Charter. What Is need
ed is a definition and a limitation.
What is needed most of all is a
series OF amendments to the Char
ter stipulating the Rights OF States
and the Rights OF Man. That essen
tial may come in time. For while

went over his head in ordering an
X-ray for gayle, and now feared

CHAPTER SEVEN
The Hickory Limb was q large
log cabin jutting out on q private
dock: They settled back in their ia
yorite booth and Burke ordered for
them: clans and steak and French
frieds, salad and dessert.
Gail looked out on the river. The
sun had disappeared, but its after
glow lent q lovely, mother-of-pearl
haze to the horizon. Burke put q
coin in the juke box. The music was
gay-Elmer's Tune, and q charm

nothing could ruin.

Disease of
Suprarenal
Glands Rare

Suprarenal
Glands Rare
BY HERMAN NJ. BUNDESEN. NJ. D
DISEASE Of the suprarenal
glands is rare in comparison with
the frequent occurrence Of dis
orders affecting other glands such
as, for example, the thyroid gland,
the sex glands or the pituitary
gland at the base of the brain. All
Of these glands form secretions
which empty directly into the
blood and affect all of the activi-
ties Of the body. The suprarenal
glands, as their name indicates,
are located just above the kidneys.
While actual disease Of the
suprarenal glands is not so ire
quent, there are many disturbing
symptoms which may be due 10
lack of secretion of one part Of the
glands known as the cortex pro-
ducing q condition known as
Addison's disease. Although the
exact use of the secretion from
this gland is still not known, new
ertheless, when the secretion is
lacking, salt and water are eX-
GREETED in excess through the kid
neys. The chemical substance
known as potassium is retained in
the body, and there is also a dis
turbance in the way sugar is used.
This results in a lessening of the
amount of sugar in the blood.
Frequently in Men
Addison's disease occurs more
frequently in men than in women.
1t is rare in children and in elder
ly people. II was formerly be-
lieved that four out Of every five
patients with Addison's disease
suffered from tuberculosis of the
suprarenal glands. However, this
has been found not to be true.
Addison's disease usually starts
gradually. The most outstanding
symptom is a discoloration OF the
skin. The color of the skin becomes
much like that seen in Indians.
The soles Of the feet and palms Of
the hands, however, are not dis
eolored. Deep purplish patches Of
discoloration may be present in
the roof Of the mouth, on the lips,
and inside the cheeks.
