WHEN an operation is neces-
sary, the condition Of the patient
at the time he goes on the table
is as important to the final out
come as is the skill of the surgeon.
Therefore, doctors arc always
searching for new ways of build
ing up the patients strength, and
SO rendering the ordeal of surgery
more tolerable.
Toxic goitre or hyperthyroidism
is a condition in which, along with
enlargement of the thyroid gland,
there is an enormous speeding up
Of all activities of the body. 1t is
as if all the drafts in a furnace
were opened and kept that way.
The result is roaring contla-
grafton in which fuel flood and
even body tissues) is burned at q
terrific rate, the heart races fever
ishly. and the nervous system re-
acts with hair-trigger irritability
until at last, if the process is not
stopped, the whole mechanism col
lapses in exhaustion.
The way to stop it is to remove
the greater part of the overactive
thyroid gland, the source of all
this trouble. 1t is easy to see. how
ever, that a patient in this over
stimulated condition may not
stand operation well and that to
add the strain of surgery to that
already produced by the disease
may prove fatal.
Formerly, doctors used bed rest
and doses of iodine to bring racing
body processes to more normal
tempo so that operation could be
undertaken. About two years ago,
however, a new drug called THO
uracil, was introduced for this pur-
pose. 1t has resulted in the saving
of many lives, having proved even
more effective than earlier meth
DDS in preparing for operation.

Lakeside Joins
PAC 100 Per Cent

Lakeside Unit, UAW-CIO
Local IL, has the distinction Of
being the first Toledo plant tc
go 100 per cent in its PAC mem
bership drive for 1946, it was
announced this week by Glen
Holewinski, PAC executive as
sistant manager.
Maxine c m o t, Lakeside
Unit chairman, pointed out that
despite the General Motors
strike to which the members are
contributing their bit of financial
support, the members still came
through to give PAC their back
ing.
Other Units have gone 100 per
cent in the past several years,
but Lakeside is the largest plant
to go over the top this early in
the year.
PAC officials see in the action
of Lakeside Unit an increased
awareness on the part of the
workers to the political implica-
tons in the present unsettled
and almost chaotic economic
conditions. They believe that
Lakeside's example will be fol-
lowed by many other plants in
which an awakened and en-
lightened labor group sees the
urgent need for labor playing a
major role in determining the
political complexion of the
country.

Ask JobIess Aid
For Striking Vets

NEW YORK, January % -
(LPA) - Members of the CIO
Veterans Committee, some in
uniform, picketed state unem-
ployment insurance offices in
Buffalo last week demanding re-
vision of the unemployment
compensation act, while at the
same time the CIO State Indus
trial Union Council asked Gov.
Dewey for legislation that would
give unemployment benefits to
striking veterans on the same
basis as other workers.
The CT Bill of Rights deprives
striking ex-servicemen of Fed
eral unemployment compensa-
ton and N. Y. State laws require
a waiting period of seven weeks
before a worker, who is jobless
because of a strike, can receive
compensation.
THE clear aim of the ban on
unemployment insurance pay
ments to striking veterans is to
force them to become strike
breakers" declared Counci
President Louis Hollander. 1T
was put into the Federal law to
create a division between work

Defenders
Fight
Reaction

. WASHINGTON, Jan. 21
(LPA)-Crack down on labor
That was the battle cry of all
the union-haters in the House
and Senate as Congr
started the second week of ses-
sions following the holiday re-
cess.
Anti-labor bills poured into
the hoppers of both chambers
like a spring flood, as reaction
aries sought to take advantage
of the current strike wave to put
over permanent shackles on the
nations workers.
Also, both chambers resound-
ed with violent speeches from
Tories denonuncing organized
labor, though the same solons
had not a word of criticism for
hard boiled corporations which
have precipitated the strikes.
'rOgreSSiveS support Labor
However, the labor-baiters
didn't go unchallenged. Many
progressives in Congress count
cred with speeches strongly sup
porting labor's present struggles
for preservation of "take-home"
wages and aSsailing repressive
legislation.
Reactionaries in the Labor
Committee tried to railroad
out a bill embodying Pres
ident Truman's 'fact-finding"
scheme, but lost by tie vote.
However, the committee later
succumbed partially to the pres
sure by promising to report out
a measure some time this week.

their strike for wage increases
and the "big four" of the indus
