HESE bAVS BY George E.

TT is now possible TO discuss
L the matter Of the presidents
health effectively.
No personalities are involved.
National security" cannot be
used as a slogan TO obscure
thought and suppress discussion.
We must start with the ethics
in the case. The presidents
physician is often an army or
navy officer.
Mr.. Roosevelt's was a naval
officer, Vice Admiral Ross T.
Mcintyre.
As a physician. he IS bound TO
keep the state OF his patients
health and fitness secret if the
patient so desires; as naval
officer, drawing a salary from
the American people, he is under
obligation TO protect the coun-
try and its people.
Here is a conflict in the realm
Of ethics in which, a determin-
ing law being wanting, one
mans judgment and opinion is
as good as another's.
The presidents physician may
feel that he Is ethically bound TO
pursue his patients wishes. but
the people have the right to
know that their president is suf-
fering from cardiac ailment,
that arterio-sclerosis is endan-
gering his life and slowing up
his effectiveness. that he has had
a thrombosis which has affected
his hearing and his speech. am
not referring 10 any particular
president; this is hypothetical
diagnosis.
A S REGARDS Mr. Roosevelt,
"A his physician. Vice Admiral
Ross r Mcintyre. reported on
April 4, 1914; May %, 1914;
June s, 1914 Oct. -. 1914. that
the presidents health was sat-
iSfactory
The October report was made
prior TO the presidential election,
I'm the midst of the campaign
and contains the phrase, The
presidents health is perfectly
O. X"
But the presidents photo
graphs indicated that his health
was not o. X; and in spite OF
his prolonged automobile trip
through stormy weather in New
York, his speech over the radio
from the Waldorf Astoria that
night caused CONSERVATION, par
ticularly his curious spell Of
laughing al wrong moments.
1t would appear that Mr..
Roosevelt's health had been fail
ing for two years.
Vice Admiral Mcintyre made
two other reports, one on Jan.
90 1945 and the other on Feb.
2S, in which he said the presi-
dents health was fine.
THERE ought 10 he an act OF

tory for the truth OF ths presi-

CCIATICA is not a definite dis
~ ease. II merely refers 10
condition in which there is pain
along the seiatie nerve. ,Tfie
sclatic nerve runs down the back
part OF the leg. Thus. there are
many conditions which may pro-
duce sciatica. For example. there
are disorders affecting the nerve
itself. such as neuritls. which
may be produced in such dis
eases as syphilis, diabetes and
various forms Of poisoning II
develops especially in middle
aged persons In some instances
II is associated with aruhritis or
Inflammation of the joints.
Sciatica comes on suddenly,
and the main symptom is Shoot
ing pain in the lex and buttock.
In treating the disorder, II ls
suggested that injections Of
local anesthetic or pain-deaden-
ing substance such as novocaln,
be given along the course OF the
nerve.
IRRITATION Of the nerve az
i its root, where IL comes from
the spine. may cause SClatiCa,
and the most common cause for
this irritation is a disturbance OF
one OF the discs or round fat
pieces of cartilege which are
located between the bones Of the
spine. These are known as inter-
vertebral discs. Injuries 10 these
ziScS may be caused by strain
|ich may occur during bending
m the trunk, as in lifting some
object while bending over The
first symptom Is pain in the
|. lower part OF the back which
persons often call lumbago USu-
ally q few weeks later. pain
along the sciatic nerve develops.
which IL made worse by an eXer-
tion or coughing In most in
stances, some form of operative
treatment is required to relieve
the disorder. although the wear
ing Of a supporting brace or cast,
together with sufficient rest,
may give relief temporarily.
Another condition which may
produce sciatica is known as
fibrositis. This means inflam-
nation Of the fibrous tissue.
which Is like the scar tissue.
This .ibrous tissue holds muscles
together. and Is found also in

A CTORS, musicians or writers
IA who are raped by critics
usually indulge in a critic-bait-
ing spree, instead of trying to
improve their talents. This
Paderewsk story should serve
- a lesson TO them. After the
'eat pianist's first recital in
this country, a few critics
panned his performance. An
editor graciously offered Pad
erewski the columns of his
naper so that he might reply
to them. But the eminent
musician turned down the offer
saying: 1T is best that they
write against me-and / play

The acclaim he received from
the American public proved
that he was right. In fewer

Unions Must Admit Negroes
California Court Rules

San Francisco (ILNS).-By unani-
nous decision, the State Supreme
Court has held that labor union must
admit Negroes to full membership OF
not try to enforce union shop agree
ment.
"The union may not maintain both
closed shop and an arbitrarily clos
ed or partially closed union," Chief
Justice Philip S. Gibson said in the rul-
ing.
The case arose from the refusal of
Local of the Boilermakers Union,
AFL, to admit Negroes, insisting in
stead that they join Negro auxiliary.
A group of Negro employees at the
Marinship Corporations yards at Sau-
salito refused to join what they call
ed "Jim Crow union" and obtained
preliminary injunction last Febru-
ary restraining Marinship from dis
charging them under a closed shop
agreement. The Supreme Court deci-
sion affirmed the action of County
Judge Edward l. Butler.
Justice Gibson ruled that "the dis
criminatory practices involved in this
case are contrary to the public policy
of the United States and this state, .
and added:
Negroes must be admitted to mem
bership under the same terms and con-
ditions applicable to non-Negroes un-
less the union and the employer re-
frain from enforcing the closed shop
agreement against them"
