Health For All
APPENDICITIS


There is no home remedy for ap-
pendicitis If everyone would learn
that sentence by heart there would
be few, if any, deaths from this dis
ease. The danger of the use of
home treatment or patent medicines
in any case of acute stomachache
cannot be overemphasized.
The appendix is a sausage-shaped
organ about four inches long located
IN the right side of the lower abb
comen and attached 10 the beginning
of the large intestine 1t is probably
Icf no use to civilized man, but can
cause him great pain if it becomes
infected. Infection may result when
the appendix is blocked by collec-
ton of matter from the intestine, or
it may come from any infection in
the body, such as one of the nose or
throat.
The pain of appendicitis is not
always first noticed in the area where
the appendix is located and conse-
quently the patient is apt to mistake
it for an ordinary stomachache. In
any case where sudden pain in the
abdomen is accompanied by moderate
fever, nausea aud tenderness in the
appendix region. appendicitis should
be suspected. The doctor should be
called at once.
Until the doctor cones, the patient
should be put to bed anG made TO
| lie quietly. Never ruo the stomach
j or apply hot water bottles. The or-
| lent S ould be given nothing to eat
! Or dri~s. not even wster, and no
medicine of any kind. Above all he
should not be given a laxative. Any
medication adds greatly to the dan
ger of death.
If the doctor finds from his ex-
animation that the case is one OF
, acute appendicitis, he will usually
advise an operation to remove the
appendix and cause peritonits which
NAV be fatal. With early diagnosis
and immediate operation, the outlook
is excellent. There is no reason to
be alarmed about an appendectomy'
as it is one of the most commonly
performed operations and, if done IN
time, it usually successful.

President Signs Bill
To Extend DC. Control
Of Rents 10 March 81

President Truman today signed
the bill to extend District rent con-
troll to next March 81. three months
beyond the termination date OF the
present Washington rent control
act at theveyfd Sof this year. q
Protection thus will be afforded
tenants in Washington for one
month longer than the rest Of the
country. A recently enacted meas
ure will terminate national rent
control on February 20.
The District Rent Control Act has
operated here with less disturbance
than controls elsewhere, according
to testimony presented to the House
District Committee, when the ex-
tension bill was under considera-
ton.
Measures Are Considered.
Instead of the IS per cent "volun-
tary" increases in rents permitted
under the new National Rent Act
the old District regulations here will
continue to be enforced by Rent
Administrator Robert F. Cogswell,
as they have been In the past. Ger
tain increases in rent under this
law already are under consideration
for action In the District.
President Truman also signed 4
bill amending the District Rent Act
to permit educational institutions to
recover possession Of housing ac-
cornmodations needed for school
purposes.
This measure was requested by
Maj. Gen. U. s. Grant III. in his
capacity as vice president of George
Washington University. He said the
institution needed for its own use
several houses it had rented to ten
ants, and legislation would be neces-
sary to get them back for school
purposes.
Consideration Promised.
Eviction of present tenants. he
promised during the hearing. would
be accomplished with consideration
for the tenants and in such a way
to prevent hardship as much as pos
sible.
Two other District bills were ap-
proved by the President. One
would empower the Commissioners
to license undertakers and embalrn- =
ers. A special examining board
would be set UP to handle applica-
tions for licenses.
The other approved bill, to regu-
late life insurance in the District,
provides that payments due on pol
icies would be made to the estate
Of the insured in case the beneficiary
dies before the insured.

injunction granted yesterday in Dis
trict Court, C1O ONCE worker union
officials today attacked the tnjunc-
tion IS illegal and said they would
contest 1t in the appellate courts.
They also formed o six-membel
picket line on r street near Four.

raded up and down.
Chief Justice Bolitha J. Laws yes
terday granted the preliminary In
junction requested by Mrs. Ethel
M. Gomez, who operates the Murray
dance studio in the HOO block OF
Connecticut avenue NV.
I'VE believe that this injunction
is illegal and unconstitutional" the

Workers of America, CIO, stated
today. 1T violates our rights OF

- :" We plan to contest the validity
OF this injunction In the appellate
courts by all proper methods. ="
Not In Reasonable Radius
In enlarging a temporary re-
straining order, which had been Is
sued last week, Justice Laws held
that the court had authority to is
sue the preliminary injunction on
the ground the picketing here did
not come under the heading Of q
labor dispute within the meaning
OF the Norris-La Guardia Act.
I'm this case" said Justice Laws
in q memorandum opinion, "the
labor dispute is in New York City.
The District OF Columbia is not
within q reasonable radius Of this
area" -
Mrs. Gomez suit, filed last week,
charged the pickets had been re-
sponsible for exhibition of a placard
indicating labor dispute with the
Arthur Murray Studio in New York
Mrs. Gomez suit contended, how
ever, she is independent of Arthur
Murray except rs "a party to q IL
cense agreement.
Outlines Terms.
In his memorandum opinion. Jus
tice Laws said that Mrs. Gomez has
no financial interest In or control
over dance studios operated by
Arthur Murray in New York or
licensed by him elsewhere.
Elsewhere In his opinion, Justice
Laws declared:
The case at bar grows out of acts
Of picketing plaintiffs place of busi-
ness. Concededly there is no labor
dispute between plaintiff and de-
PENDANTS. The labor dispute is be-
tween defendants and another per-
son not party to the suit. Plaintiff
does not seek to enjoin or to limit
the picketing of that other persons
places of business. There is no relief
plaintiff is able to give defendants. :"
Not 4 Party to Grievance.
Justice Laws further declared that
the handbills distributed by the
pickets held out to the public that
Mrs. Gomez place of business was
a branch of and controlled by Arthur
in New York.
"The plain inference was that
plaintiff would be in a position to
grant relief to the strikers and that
plaintiff was a party to the griev-
ances. In point of fact, she was not"
Justice Laws said.
Mrs. Gomez suit named as de-
PENDANTS. Local Is. of the United

Chest Trustees 10 GET
Recommendations. for
Change in Operation

A set Of recommendations for the
reorganization and. future operation
of the Community Chest will be
presented to the Board of Trustees
on August IL, Chest President Lee
D. Butler said today.
He said the frank and full dis
cussion" Of the Chest in the various
reports Of the Citizens Survey Com
mittee is proving "of great assist
ance" in drafting the recommends
tions. The trustees will receive the
recommendations in advance Of the
August II meeting.
The Chest Executive Committee
met yesterday but the only cflicial
action taken on the Citizens Com
mittee reports was resolution OF
sincere appreciation Of the great
amount of time and sincere effort
which the 25-member committee
spent on the Chest study.
Studies Being Continued.
After its .four-month study. the
Citizens Committee split three ways
and no majority report was forth
coming. The committee headed by
William Z. Leahy represented eight
city-wide citizens, business, labor
and Government groups,
Mr.. Butler said the Chest Execu-
tive Committee Is giving continued
study to the reports OF the survey
group and to statements made by
various groups and individuals con-
corning these reports.
Another statement was. added to
the Chests growing collection OF
protests against the Survey Commit
tees reports when the Potomac CO.
operative Federation wrote the Ex-
ecutive Committee urging it not to
Split the community and cripple the
Chest" by trying to put some of
the Survey Committees varying rec
concentrations into effect. ~.
Paid Trustees Opposed.
Two of the minority reports of
the Survey Committee recommended
elimination of paid workers from
the Chest Board of Trustees. This
was opposed by the federation of
co-operatives which said 1t wasn't
safe to take the formulation of Chest
policies away from experienced
people and turn policy making over
to 'those whose point of view and
interests are colored primarily by
business considerations"
The cooperative group also op-
posed dropping from the Chest those
agencies dealing with the prevention
Of social problems.
IF the proposed policies are put
into effect" the cooperative fed
Grafton stated, "it will only make 1t
necessary for those who are inter-
ested in prevention to support that
aspect of the work separately and
divide the appeal which is now uni
fed. 1t will not be the preventive
nor character building agencies that
will suffer most II you split the
Chest. and it will not save the COM
q cent"
The cooperative federation rep
resenJs 10 groups. such as thu. Group
Health Association and several
Greenbelt co-operatives.
