FEPC Filibuster

Puny Affair

when the southern hlibuster
against a Fair Employment Prae-
tice Commission ended in the Sen
ate, an old doorman was heard TO
remark:
This here flibuster wasn't like
they used to be-"
Ungrammatically, but oointedly,
he expressed the opinion preya'
lent on Capitol Hill that filibusters
today "ain't what they used to be-"
Old timers shake their heads and
express fears that the old art is
lost. Nothing 10 IT," they say OF
the flibuster against the FEPC.
That was just tea and crumpets,
they snort. Now take the filibuster
that the late Senator Robert NJ.
La Toilette OF Wisconsin engaged
in years ago against the Aldrich
financial bill. That, they say, was
the daddy OF them all.
La Toilette set an all-time rec.

began talking at 1870 p. m. May

As a result OF this, the chair ruled
that henceforth no speaker could
force a quorum call unless Senate
business interviewed. That placed
would-be record-breakers at a dis
tinct disadvantage.
Despite this handicap. the late
Senator Huey Long managed TO
stay on his feet for 15h hours
when he staged a single-handed
battle on June 1918, 1885, TO defeat
the MIRA. The Louisiana senator
spoke until almost 4 a. m. and holds
the runper-up record.
Recent hlibusters have been no
thing like that. The fiibuster
against the FEPC continued for
slightly more than three weeks.
from Jan. II to Feb. ?, but speakers
operated In relays and about the
longest speech made was that Of
Senator Richard B. Russell (D) OF
Georgia, who spoke only AZ hours.
In addition. the flibuster against
the FEPC was conducted In a very
genteel manner with nothing Of the
rough-and-tumble tactics OF the old
gladiators. The flibusters were per-
mitted to resume their seats be-
tween 4:30 to 6 p. m, eat a good
meal, get a good nights rest, and
resume the next day, revitaiized
and refreshed.
In the old days the Senate re-
NAMED In session all night and
simply wore out a flibustering
member. Senator Wayne ]. Morse
(R) OF Oregon proposed similar
treatment for the FEPC fllibuster.
but the thought OF all-night SEES
sions evoked little enthusiasm
among his colleagues.
Years ago. the Senate refused TO
compromise on filibusters. When
the late Senator William Allen Of
Nebraska took the foor in 1893 10
talk against repeal OF the silver
purchase clause In the Sherman
Act, he spoke almost continuously
for IL hours, Ar minutes. Allen en-
ployed black coffee to keep awake.
Today, filibusters, such as that
against the FEPC. end in a compro-
mise. Southern opponents Of
FEPC agreed to permit the Senate
to vote on cloture with the under
standing that the FEPC bill would
be withdrawn II the motion TO limit
debate lost.
Similarly, the 1914 filibuster
against anti|poll tax legislation
ended-vith equal success for the
filibusterers-when move for
cloture failed.

New Drugs Fail
to Cure Infection
in Prostate Glands
By HERMAN BUNDBsEN. NJ. I
1T has been said that four out
Of ten men beyond the age Of fifty
have some disturbance Of the pros
tate gland. Infections of this
gland are common in older per-
sons. Another disorder known as
benign hypertrophy, which merely
means enlargement Of the gland,
Is also frequent
Infection and Inflammation Of
tbs gland may be brought about by
various germs. Infection may be
brought 20 the gland from other
parts Of the body such as the teeth,
tonsils, and sinuses. II may also
develop as a result Of infections
in the kidney or gsllbladder Some
times. the condition develops after
an attack Of influenza.
Use Of Drugs
II would appear that the sui
fonamide drugs and penieillin, ae-
eording to present medical evi-
dence, do not seem TO have much
value in overcoming these chronic
prostate infections. The treat
ment usually employed consists in
massage of the gland, which is
carried out through the rectum,
together with removal Of the
source Of the infection when pos
sible.
Another condition affecting the
gland Is prostate fibrosis. In this
condition, there is a formation Of
scar tissue, causing shrinking Of
the gland, which in turn blocks the
opening from the bladder. In such
cases, the symptoms consist Of
frequent emptying Of the bladder
and some loss Of control. The
symptoms are constant nrd annoy
ing.
According TO DR.. L.. II. Ba-
retz of Brooklyn, the lrp. Iment OF
prostate fibrosis consists in oper-
ating through q tSstoscope and
removing the tissues in the gland
which are blocking the neck Of the
bladder.
A eystoscope is an instrument
made up of a tube with light on
the end Of it which can be passed
into the bladder making it possible
for the doctor to look directly into
the bladder. This operation, as q
rule, will completely relieve the
symptoms and, Of course, should
be carried out by an expert.
The cause Of benign hypertro-
ply is not known. Certain things
have been suggested, such as in
feetions and disturbances Of the
sex glands.
Type Of Operation
The treatment OF this disoroer
consists also Of some type Of oper-
alton. The operation may be done
through the cystoscope, or the
gland may be completely removed.
With the use Of the sulfonamide
drugs and penicillin to control in
fections following operation, the
dangers Of these operative pro-
cedures have been greatly reduced.
Cancer Of the prostate may also
develop. Early removal Of the
gland may be successful in many
cases Of prostate cancer II the
diagnosis is made early enough.
Thu giving Of certain glandular
secretions, that IL the estrogenie
substances, by mouth and castra-
ton have been found to be Of great
value in cancer Of the prostate.
It would appear that castration
helps relieve the pain. The gland
itself shrinks in size while the
patient gains weight and his APP
petite improves.
