Girls Sight Restored
By Kidney Operation

An 8-year-old girl in Washington
had her sight restored and severe
illness alleviated by an operation
for removal Of a diseased kidney,
the medical society heard last night
The patient was not identified.
The case was described by DR..
Hilbert S. Sabin, surgeon, an in
structor at the Georgetown Univer-
sity Medical School, during discus
sion of about 100 other cases, in
which operations had been per-
formed to alleviate high blood
pressure.
The case of the young girl whose
kidney he removed was said by DR..
Sabin to have developed first with
severe headache and nausea. These
symptoms became more severe, he
said, and finally after two convul-
sions, she lost her sight. After re-
moval of the kidney, which was
found to be atrophied, her blood
pressure fell to about normal, the
headaches and nausea disappeared
and her sight returned.
The surgeon said that such an
operation can be performed only in
certain cases. He reported on 10C
other cases from medical literature
in 81 Of which the blood pressure
returned to normal In % the blood
pressure was reduced and in Is nc
improvement was shown.
DR.. Sabin spoke to the medical
society at a program held at its

'DisapprovaI by u. 5
Of Polish Elections
Now Appears Certain
BY the Associated Press

United States disapproval OF
the Polish national elections
next Sunday became an evident
certainty today.
Thus one of Gen. George C. Mar
shall's first problems as Secretary
of State may be to decide what to
do about it.
The Polish situation-which finds
Russia lined up with the Com
munist-controlled government at
Warsaw against Britain and the
United States-is one of three in
Eastern Europe that threaten to
prove troublesome for Gen. Mar
shall.
Two Other Problems.
The other two:
/. An apparent effort by the Com
munist minority in Hungary to
smash the power of the moderate
Small Holders Party.
2. Moves by the Communist gov
ernment of Marshal Tito in Yugo-
slavia to establish some kind OF
economic bloc in the Balkans.
What makes the political situa-
ton in Eastern Europe particularly
delicate at the moment is the fact
that the Balkan peace treaties are
soon to be. signed and, it is expected
quickly ratified.
These treaties provide for the
withdrawal of Russian occupation
troops from Romania. Bulgaria and
Hungary. In addition they impose
a number of other provisions de-
signed to restore the independence
of the countries and to guarantee
equality of trade opportunities
throughout the Balkans.
The Russians thus appear to be
faced with a need to consolidate
their position in Eastern Europe be-
fore the effectiveness of the peace
treaties greatly curtails their free
dom of operation there.
The issue as seen by officials here
is only slightly different in Poland.
The State Department announced
yesterday that Secretary Of State
Byrnes will sign the European satel-
lite peace treaties here next Mon
day.
The treaties. which Mr. Byrnes
spent 18 months helping negotiate,
will then be signed by other big

Polish Factions Continue
Accusations of Terrorism

WARSAW, Jan. 16 tP).-The Com.
munist- dominated government anc
its highly vocal opposition continued
trading accusations of terrorism to.
day in the campaign leading ur
to Poland's parliamentary election
next Sunday.
Premier Edward B.. Osubka-
Moraswki said at a news confer
ence last night that members OF
the opposition Polish Peasant Party
in league with antigovernment un-
foreground bands were to blame for
much terrorism in Poland.
He branded as fantastic sugges-
tions that the Polish Peasant Party
would score an upset victory and
forecast a government triumph in
the election. He claimed evidence
that many peasants were quitting
the opposition party because of an
underground stigma Mr.. Osubka
Morawski said travels through the
country had convinced him that
voting would be free and unfet-
tered"
On the other side Vice Premier
Stanislaw Mikolajczy Polish Peas
ant Party leader, in the second pre-
election broadcast allowed him said
"The future of Poland cannot rest
in the power exercised by the pres,
ent regime, in the militia, in The

Mr.. Mikola jczyk spoke in favor OF

He said Poland's borders with Ger

Secretary of State Byrnes has

Outlook Grows Dim
For Straight 70 Pet.
Cut in Income Taxes
BY the Associated Press

Prospects are fading in Congress
for the Republican bill to cut most
income taxes a straight 20 per cent.
But tax cutting in different way
giving low-income groups the big
gest saving-seems more likely to
pass.
This was indicated today by an
informal poll Of the House Ways
and Means Committee, which writes
all tax bills.
Meanwhile, Representative Grant,
Republican, of Indiana prepared for
introduction shortly after noon a
Republican-sponsored measure to
continue wartime excise tax rates
indefinitely on such things as liquor,
furs, jewelry, luggage and lpstick.
First Meeting Tomorrow.
Chairman Knutson said the Ways
and Means Committee may approve
this measure-holding tight to some
81 SOC, ,000, 900 in tax revenue annual
ly-at its first meeting tomorrow.
In the survey of Ways and Means
members at least three Republicans
said privately they now prefer
graduated income tax reduction.
Their idea is that those In the low
brackets should get greater relief
proportionately than persons with
large incomes.
With indications that the 10 COM
mittee Democrats will stand solidly
against a straight slash, the 3 Re-
publican votes thus would give the
anti-20 per cent group ma jority on
the 25-member committee. That
would defeat the bill, offered by Mr..
Knutson.
| Democrats Prefer to Wait.
Most Democrats said they prefer
to wait on any tax cutting until the
budget actually is balanced, but they
contend that Congress will pass some
kind of tax bill, with emphasis on
relief for low incomes.
Mr.. Knutson said the Ways and
Means group will not take up the 20
per cent tax bill until the Joint
House-Senate Budget Committee has
set q ceiling on Federal expendi-
lures.
| Mr.. Knutson has called the 102-
member budget committee to its
first meeting Monday.
However, the obvious difficulty In
drawing up an independent budget
by February Is deadline brought
veiled talk in both houses today of
amending or even junking that pro-
vision of the congressional reor-
ganization law.
No Joint Staff for Task.
| The law instructs the four tax
writing and appropriating commit
tees of the House and Senate to
draw up their own budget by mid
February of each year. 1t would be
independent of the Presidents bud
get, although giving "due consid-
Grafton" to his recommendations.
| But the four committees have no
joint staff actually in being which
could undertake such a tremendous
labor. Accordingly all hands con-
cede the $37 0O,0OO0O0 Truman
budget will have to be the basis for
their estimate-some call it guess
of necessary expenditures and
probable receipts.
