MODERN TREATMENT OF
 OF HERNIA

Two hundred sixty-eight of my last 20O0 hernia patients had had from one to four operations. reports a physician who has great skill and success in the modern (ambulanD treatment of hernia (rupture, breach), that is, the injection method, which is series of intec- tions given in the physicians office, generally with little or no pain or discomfort, at intervals of several days or a week, for ten times more or less according to the conditions in the individual case, and without detaining the patient from his or her ordinary occupation or everyday activities.
 If 26S out of 2OOO patients under ambulant treatment has already undergone the radical operation) (some of them more than once) It is fair to assume, is 1t not, that hernia surgery is not all it is crack ed up to be.
 Tn the British Medical Journal Dr. Bennett-Jones of London re- ported that in 42 infants and young children three months to five years old only one injection was required to cure small naval (um- bilicaD hernia in 26 cases, two in- jections were required in eleven cases. and three or more injections were necessary in five cases.
 One physician who has given ambulant treatment with uniform success for many years finds that white collar workers are the best pNtients, because they cooperate and follow the physicians instruc- tions better than industrial workers. don't quite understand, but this physician seems to think some in- dustrial employees are keen on a hernia operation because they will recevie it at company expense ana besides draw eight weeks of disa- bility pay! Whereas the ambulant treatment involves no disability or loss of time from work. still can't believe any one would deliberately submit to hernia operation If there is a reasonable chance that inJec- tion treatment would cure the hernia. [.
 In some States the industrial commissions permit the employee to choose injection treatment if he prefers it-among them New York, illinois, California, Wisconsin, Mfn- nesota, Pennsylvania. The Minne- sota Industrial Commission re- ported eight years ago that the modern method was used in SO% of all industrial hernias in Minne- sota.
 So you see, folks and old fogy ane-track operators, the injection treatment of hernia is at least as successmul as radical operation is' and besides it Is good deal safer.

Bormann Reported
Seen in u. ). Zone
BY the Assoeioted Press

+ FRANKFURT, Nov. New re-
ports that Martin Bormann, Hitler's
missing deputy, had been seen alive
in the American zone of Germany
were said tonight to be under in
vestigation by United States Army
agents.
German Police of Wuerttemberg-
Baden said they had turned over to
the Army an SIS officer who claimed
to have been personally promoted
by Bormann, who was condemned to
death in absentia by the Interna-
tional Military Tribunal at Nuern-
berg.
The police said the man had been
arrested near Stuttgart last night
The officer, seized dressed in full
Nazi uniform with an imitation gun
also was said to have been ques-
toned in connection with recent
bombings in the Stuttgart area.
The German, who gave his name
as Hans Joachim Won Burgsdorf, but
who had no Identification, asserted
he had been personally promoted
from major to lieutenant colonel by
Bormann.
He said he had seen Bormann in
an unspecified German city in late
May, 1945, three weeks after Bor-
man was supposedly killed while
attempting to escape from Berlin
in a tank.
The Army's agents refused to con-
firm or deny that Won Burgsdorf
was in their Stuggart Jail and there
was no way of telling whether the
Army placed any credence in Won
Burgsdorfis story.

FRANKFURT, Nov. 2.-Oberam-
mergau villagers have abandoned
plans to revive their famed Passion
Play next year because, among other
difficulties, the man slated to play
the role of Christ is being held as
war prisoner in Soviet-occupied
Germany, the United States Army's
9th Division News reported today.
Alois Lang, who portrayed the role
of Christ in 1894, when the play
was last presented, also has been
banned by denazification authorities
for his Nazi leanings, the newspaper
said. He is more than 80 years old.
In addition to casting difficulties,
lack of food and accommodations
for housing visitors caused canceila-
ton of the plans. The colorful re-
ligious drama had been held every
10 years for 300 years, with but few
Interruptions. In 1884, the tercen-
tenary, the play drew more than
400, 900 persons. The war prevented
its presentation in 1914.

COP and Democrats
Debate Foreign Policy
In Campaign Windup
Brown Attacks BorkIey
Statement as Weakening
Position Of Byrnes
By ]. A. OIeory

Representative Brown, Repub-
lican of Ohio, charged last night
that Senate Majority Leader
Barley weakened the position
of Secretary of State Byrnes by
saying a Republican election
victory would end bipartisan
foreign policy.
Mr.. Brown, Republican congress
sional campaign director, said the
Barkley statement is not justified
by facts and did "a grave disservice
to the country"
While the Republicans were an
swering Senator Barkley, however,
another Democrat, Senator Lucas of
Illinois, was renewing the attack on
the foreign policy of Republican
leaders.
This verbal clash over foreign
policy, which had been over
shadowed by domestic affairs dur
ing most of the campaign, enliv-
ened the closing battle of wordl
from opposing leaders here.
Both Predict Victory.
Democratic National Chairman
Hannegan and Republican National
Chairman Reece each came for
ward with the expected last-minute
claim that his party would win con-
troll of both Houses of Congress.
Many unofficial forecasters, how
ever, have made the Republicans
the favorites to capture the House,
leaving the Senate as the chief
battle-ground in Tuesdays balloting.
Senator Barkley started the furry
of exchanges over foreign policy
Friday night, when he told radio
audience that if the Republicans
gained control of Congress the. Ma
ton could say good-by to any bi-
partisan foreign policy He con-
csded some Republicans in Con-
gress are sincere in their desire for
world cooperation, but argued that
many of the leaders would turn
back to isolationism.
Representative Brown replied
that present foreign policy is a COM
posite of Republican and Democratic
viewpoints, with a major part of
the credit for its development going
to Republican Senator Vandenberg
of Michigan.
Democratic Split Charged.
The Republican campaign director
further asserted that Democratic
ranks are not united behind present
olicy, declaring that Former Secre-
tary of Commerce Wallace has been
whirling about the Nation urging
a foreign policy in harmony with
the Moscow party line"
"The people well know" continued
Mr.. Brown, that if through some
political miracle the Democrats
should retain control of Congress
on Tuesday, there is real danger
to the continuity of our foreign

Court Holds Earnings
Abroad Are taxable
By the Associofed Press

The United States tax court yes
terday upheld Internal Revenue Bu-
reau efforts to collect income taxes
from United States citizens who did
extended wartime work in foreign
countries for American concerns.
The court held that the mere
fact that they spent an entire tax
able year working in foreign coun-
tries is not sufficient to guarantee
them exemption from United States
income taxes for citizens who are
bona fide" residents of such coun-
tries for taxable year.
It's views were largely restricted
to the circumstances of two cases
under direct consideration, but it
appeared that they might affect
the tax liability of many Americans
who worked abroad for private
firms during the war.
Thousands performed such duties
for aircraft, oil and construction
firms, and hundreds of war CORE
spondents also might be affected.
only earnings subsequent to 1912
would be in question, as exemption
was clear on prior earnings.

Gov. Bailey was staunch op-

Defeated Bilbo Proposals.
A member of the State House Of
Representatives from 1915 until he
became governor in 1914, he was
generally credited with a leading
part in the defeat of many of Sem

Gov. Bailey had been expected to

Democratic Senate nomination in
the primary last August. However

quished satellites of Nazi Germany.
The conference opens at the Wal
dorf Astoria at 4 pm. Monday.
British sources here said Mr..

lation that the British chief had
decided to back Mr.. Byrnes' pro-
posal that all decisions adopted by
a two-thirds majority vote in the

accepted by the four-power For
eign Ministers despite the fact that
Russia voted in opposition on most
of these issues.

added.
Not Pessimistic on Difficulties.
Asked If he felt any pessimism as
a result of difficulties the foreign
ministers faced in Paris, Mr.. Bevin
replied:
Il am never optimistic, but never

has to keep on an even keel. One
cannot expect to sail into smooth
