dent of the oil Workers union, for the presidency now held by Robinson. Though the campaign against Robinson will on the slir- face be based on his loan negotia. tions with an employer, the issue will actually be Roblnson's alleged Communist sympathles.
 The anti.Robinson forces, which have support in high quarters, are endeavorine to build up enough strength in back of Knight to force Robinson to withdraw. However, it is still likely that the .MM.S.W. presidents name will go to the floor for reelection to the vice-presi- denes when elections are held later this week.
 The contest may furnish one of most important, if not the most im- portant, Left.Isight battles at the convention. Right Wing delegates are already heartened by the unanimous vote yesterday in which the con- cention adopted a statement Of policy "resenting and rejecting" In. terference in CfO. affairs by Com munists or members of other parties.
 IL is understood that the question of Robinsons leadership of the M.MS.w. and of alleged iTregulari. ties in the recent election was brought before CI.o. President Philip Murray at meetings of the executive board last week. This raises speculation as to his possible interest in the drive to unseat Rob- inson as a cio. vice-president, and perhaps possible intervention when the MMS.w. canvassing committee meets in Chicago Dec. to make an official tally of the vote. Rob- inson's supporters have claimed his reelection by about coco votes.
 Waterbury is represented at the Atlantic City convention by John ]. Drlscoll, State CI0. secretary, and Renato Ricciuti, president of the Greater Waterbury Industrial Union Council. Both are strongly anti Robinson. and in the MMS.W. elec- tions gave their support to James J. Leary, international secretary treasurer. who opposed Robinson for the presidency. Leary is a member of the CIO. executive board.
 At the M.MS.W. convention in Cleveland in September, Robinson admitted a mistake of judgment" in the $500 loan transaction. An effort to place the matter before the rank and file via a referendum was voted down by the pro-Robinson mapority of delegates.

HEALTH FOR ALL
Appendicitis

There are stomachaches and stom-
achaches. Some are the green apple
type-indigestion due to unwise eat
ing, which may pass away without
serious consequences. Others may
warn of grave stomach disturbances.
such as ulcers. Still others may not
really be stomachaches at all but pain
caused by Inflammation of the appen-
dix.
The appendix is a small structure
located on the right side of the lower
abdomen, which is of no use to man.
If it becomes infected, a condition
known as appendicitis results. APP
pendicitis causes severe pain which
is usually firt snoticed, not where the
appendix is located, but in the upper
abdomen. The pain is usually accom-
panied by nausea and fever and the
tender
While appendicitis may be either
chronic or acute, TIE latter is more
common and almost always necessi-
tates an operation. The operation is
necessary to remove the diseased ap-
pendix lest it break and cause perit-
onitis, which greatly endangers life.
If appendicitis is suspected, the
doctor should be called Immediately.
Meanwhile, the patient should be
kept quiet. He should not be given
anything to eat or drink, not even
water, and above all things he should
not be given a laxative. A laxative,
which may be helpful in case of a
plain stomackache, can prove fatal in
case of appendicitis.
With appendicitis, never apply a
hot water bottle to soothe the pain.
If the pain is so acute that the pa
tient must have relief, an ice pack
may be applied until the doctor ar
rives, makes a diagnosis and recon-
mends treatment.
No home remedies, certainly not
rubbing the stomach, should be tried
in case of appendicitis. There are
only two things to do--get the pa
tient to lie quietly and call the doe
tor. The doctor will make certain
tests to determine if TIE pain is due
to appendicitis and, if'so, whether an
operation is necessary. There is no
reason to be alarmed about an appen-
dectomy 1t is one of the most COM
mon of all operations and, if per-
formed in time, is usually successful.

Maryland Tuberculosis Association in
the interest of better health.

Sober Thought

Authority and alcohol influence the
deeds of mortal man in ways that
are strikingly similar. Apparently
they both call for more from the
very first taste. Too much of either
goes to peoples heads in a manner
that is highly unbecoming. Both have
a tendency to retard productive ac-
tivity and both are enemies of
straight thinking. No wonder des-
pots so often are called power-drunk.
Not long ago heard story about
a drunk man with a new car. It
probably was not true but it was
thought provoking. In an effort to
back out of his home garage, so the
story goes, he pushed over neigh
boris fence and sank nails in three
tires. Using an axe to disengage the
debris he Dashed in fender until
it pressed against his only remaining
tire that held air.
Wanted More Power
Unable to make the manned car
run, the inebriate got under it with
a wrench and f1attened the gasoline
line so the engine could get almost
no fuel; also emptied the brake fluid
on the ground. Finally he lost his
temper and assaulted the body with
a pick until it was no longer a closed
car. After that he Grated loudly and
eloquently on the mistakes of the en-
gineer who designed it.
How like this story is the history of
our country for the last decade. In
stead of doing things to improve
productive activity, men of authority
viewed everything successful with
suspicion and GRATED on its faults.
Well established principles of good
business were disregarded. Radical
ideas were used, like holding land
out of production to raise farm
prices.
Work With An Axe
Shortening crops raised prices, to
be sure, but it made men idle, as
well as land. The landowners got
compensation from the national
treasury for crops they did not raise
and idle workers stood in line for
dole. To meet the resulting heavy
expenses, corporation taxes grew so
heavy that they discouraged invest
ments, further retarding productive
activity.
With jobs scarce and poorly paid,
people on government relief rolls
Ifared better than many who persist
ed in trying to earn an honest living
by honorable work. This automat-
ically discouraged thrift and efficien-
cy. 1t retarded the accumulation
of personal wealth and hindered the
starting of new, individual owned en-
terprises. People with odds against
them discourage easily.
Drunk On Power
The case was more readily dag
nosed than remedied. Economic
tinkerers in places of authority got
a taste of power and drank of it too
deeply Then they quit thinking
straight. Each new raid on the ma
tons economic strength called for a
bigger one to hide it. Gradually
thrifty people were being beggared
by aims and American business
bankrupt by taxes.
The only honorable way out of any
kind of itltoxication is to sober up.
Destructive strategy will buy food
and clothing for nobody. Letting land
lie idle is not farming. Scared money
builds no factories and makes no
jobs. The most helpful thing our gov
ernment can do this year is work to
this end: Devise the right taTes for
the most jobs. This will automat-
ically cure the "gimmies." i.

EAT SALVAGE URGENT

Half of the potential fat salvage
as been untouched, and one-third OF
he American housewives are not
aving used cooking fats, figures in
iicate.
Recent surveys showing that while
a percent of the women of the coun-
ry know that used cooking fat is still
leeded, only 81 percent are current
,alyagers," bear out the Department
If Agriculture's statement that more
han half tke annual 500,O00,OOO lb.
at salvage potential still goes down
the drain.
Ever, woman can cooperate with
The Presidents Famine Emergency
Committee by using less wheat ana
fats and oils products, but probably
the most tangible contribution most
housewives can make to this world
food shortage is the used cooking fat
she saves and turns over to the meat
dealer for four cents a pound.
While obviously Americas fat sal
wage doesn't feed starving people, it
does lessen both consumer and in
dustrial demands upon fats and oils,
and allows more food fats to be ship
ped overseas. For when housewife
uses and reuses her cooking fats, she
makes less demand upon retail sup
pulies of salad oils, lards, and short
enings. When she turns her house
hold grease over to the meat dealer
for the use of industry, it means that
some of the pressure on edible fats is
relieved.
If every woman currently salvag-
ing fat would set herself up as a COM
mittee of one to urge some friend,
not currently saving fat, TO do so reg
ularly, IL would not only double the
amount of fat salvaged and ease the
strain on edible fats and oils, but it
would answer the very personal need
for more soap here at home.
American housewives salvaged
enough fats during 1945 to produce
approximately half of the toilet soap,
all of the laundry bar soap, about 25
percent of the heavy duty packaged
idunuIN HOap0 VI AWheS 40 hNN eN9
was needed to produce all of the fine
fabric packaged soaps.
All of this soap was produced by
less than two-thirds of the women of
the country. The remaining one-third
apparently know that salvaged fats
are still needed. but do nothing about
Il. They presumably are getting their
share Of the short soap supplies with
out contributing salvaged fats, the
very necessary ingredient.
"The Famine Emergency Commit
tee can't work alone" SAYS the Con-
sumers' Guide of the Department of
Agriculture. Civic organizations,
women's groups, churches, schools,
and all other groups can help they
go on to say.

odlkC
Early in March, national press
wires carried a story from Wash
ington to the farthest corners Of the
country, about 16 members of Con-
gress who said they thought the
national budget should and could be
balanced. They were half-and-half
senators and representatives. Seven
were Democrats and nine were Re-
publcans and they made it plain by
signing a written statement. They
are:
SENATE HOUSE
Byrd Cox
Bridges Doughton
Taft Halleck
Tydings Knutson
Vandenberg Martin
Walsh Taber
Wherry Wilmington
White Woodruff
My hat is off to these realistic
statesmen. hope their ranks soon
embrace the entire Congress.
Our Debts are Huge
Americas next chance to have a
balanced budget will be in the fiscal
year Of 1947. It starts July /, 1916
and ends June 80, l947. The United
States is already in debt for every
thing it has. This does not mean all
the country Is worth, but ii does mean
an amount equivalent to the value
of everything the people of this ma
ton have saved since their ancestors
started saving.
The national debt is $50 billion
dollars. That figure approximates
the value of all the farms and farm
improvements in the country, all
the city real estate and city inn
provements, all the manufacturing
plants in the nation, all the bank
accounts, and all the insurance poll
cies, all added up.
Starting Over Again
The United States stands now
where some pioneer settler of colo
nial days might have stood If his log
cabin had burned with everything of
food and clothing inside. Closer to
home: The energetic young family
man with two children, who has just
finished paying for an $4,000 resi-
dence, can depend on starting now
TO buy it all over again in taxes,
paying no more than his rightful
share of the national debt which Is
$4,000 per man, woman and child.
Tax on this enormous debt will be
a new, yearly expense for our gov
ernment. It will be a big one too.
Interest on debt alone viii cost
Uncle Sam more than he ever raised
by taxes in any single pre-war year.
If there ever was a time when
Americas common people deserved
q balanced budget so they could
look frankly and boldly at the truth
Of debts and taxes, 1t is now.
Fighting Has Ceased
There are ways to start balancing
the national budget and the sooner
It starts the better. The war is over
and war bureaus can be reduced In
size and cost. The number Of fed
eral employees can be cut more
than most Of us imagine. Deficit
spending depending what we do not
have) can be stopped also If we
really set our heads TO do IL. BY
doing this we can save what we do
have left.
With all savings gone, we have
something left. The settler whose
cabin burned had his energy and
his good name left. The home owner
who must start buying all over
again in taxes, still has his credit
and q job we hope. Just so the
United States, with prestige axnong
nations and a sound economy, has
something left; something ok v7lus
4hat must be preserved.
