Man VS.. Disease
hronic Diseases

Some 25,O00,000 Americans are af-
Icted with chronic illness. Of these,
bout 100000 are partially or Who'll
i incapacitated. Each year nearly
100000 die from chronic diseases.
Four national welfare and medical Or
limitations this week recommended a
togram for states and cities to broad
b and coordinate with federal aid:
PreventiOn-Intensifed health de-
Artment measures to control chronic
tnmunicable diseases, with special
nphasis on health education.
Medical care-Emphasis should be
n diagnosis and treatment in early
ages Of chronic illness, requiring
aequate hospital and laboratory IA
lities for all communities.
Rehabilitation-Occupation refrain
lg and job placement are essential
ierapeutic and preventive measures.
Research-Emphasis should be on
Iseases which cause the greatest dis
bility and death.
The sponsors are the American
hblic Welfare Association, the
american Medical Association, the
merican Hospital Association and
lie American Public Health Associa-
on.
The four associations report that in
lght states and four cities action to
ieet the chronic illness problem is
lready underway or in the planning
Iage. The states are California, Con-
ecticut, Illinois, Indiana, Maryland,
Massachusetts,, New Jersey and New
iork. The cities are Chicago, Cleve-
ind, Milwaukee and New York.

Blood SIudging

Meanwhile, 17-year study by sci
entists of the University of Chicago
and the University of Tennessee has
resulted in finding that some 40
common diseases cause sludging, or
thickening, of the blood.
They found that blood, through
dumping of red cells, thickens in pa
tients with undulant fever, scarlet
fever, infantile paralysis, rheumatic
fever, pulmonary tuberculosis, arthri-
tis and even the common cold. The
result hampers circulation, decreases
nourishment of body tissues and
causes deterioration.
The substance which "glues" the
red cells together has been identified
generally as a protf n but no detailed
understanding of the chemical and
immunological properties of the sub
stance was reported yet available.
The scientists suggested that sludg-
ing be considered possible cause of
senility and mental illness in persons
who have had one or more of the dis
eases in which sludging takes place.
Proper Care in Time
Asphyxia (lack of oxygen) kills at
least $4,000 Americans each year. Of
these 10000 are newborn babies. The
rest, children and adults, succumb to
choking, subrnersions, gases, electric
shock, diseases and accidents.
Many of these lives, says the So
clety for the Prevention of Asphyxial
Deaths, could be saved through
knowledge and alert action.

JAW: Automen Swinq Riqht

Philip Murray, CIO president, ad-
dressing the UAW convention in At
lantic City this week, said that he
was mot playing politics" but at a
news conference Immediately after
his speech he announced his fiat en-
dorsement of Reuther for reelection.
Thomas, who had been actively
campaigning for the presidency, de-
cided not to oppose Reuther's re-elec-
ton. On roll-call votes, however,
a Reuther candidate knocked out
Adde's as retary-treasurer.
For the first time in 10 months,
Reuther said, he was president in
more than name only"

Building
Continuing High Prices

Builders, aided by favorable Octo-
Der weather, were nearly as busy last
month as in the postwar record month
of September, the Bureau of Labor
Statistics reported
The total of ST, Ass, 100000 spent for
all types of construction in October
was only S5,000,000 less than the Sep
tember peak.
New privately financed residential
building reached high of $500,000,-
600 in October.
Construction expenditures for the
first 10 months of 1947 totaled SILL
900,000,000, compared with $780,
100000 in the same period of 1896
Building contractors employed 1885,
600 workers in October-17, 900 fewer
than in September, but 10000 more
than in October, 1916.
Meanwhile, the Producers Council,
representing building products man.
ufacturers, estimated this week there
will be 13 percent increase in the
physical volume of new building in
l948
Based on current costs, the council
predicted next years building volume
would be about $14,000,000,0 600
against an estimated $12,4O0,OO0,0 ,0OC
for this year.
United Industrial Associates, Inc, a
research organization, said housing
prices in October reached a new high
of 131 percent above the 1935-39 av-
erage.
There are strong indications, the
organization reported, that housing
prices will continue high and rents
will advance steadily until the great
need for medium and low cost hous-
ing is met"

Education
Military Troinees

When Congress opens It's regular
session next January one of the most
important bills to be considered will
be universal military training.
The Army, looking toward its pos
sible adoption, this week began to
circularize school systems Throughout
the nation for information on their
ability to help in the educational
phase of such program.
Letters from the Adjutant Gen
erals office to State Departments OF
Education point out that one of the
options under the proposed plan would
allow selected trainees to attend trade
and vocational schools instead OF
spending the second six months OF the
one-year training period in military
drill. Trainees generally would be
sent to schools near where they re-
side.

Victory for Reuther

Nineteen months ago Walter P.
Reuther unseated R. j. Thomas as
president of the 100000 United Auto
Workers, one of the big CIO unions.
Thomas stepped down to the vice
presidency, post formerly held by
Reuther
Since then skirmishing between the
two has pointed up the battle be-
tween the unions so-called right and
left wings. Actually the union is split
along lines of personal political ma
chimes more than on theological lines.
Reuther, head of the right wing, is
former Socialist and the opposite of
a conservative in economic views.
The other group, headed by Thomas
and George Adde's, secretary treas
urer, had the support of the Commu-
mist minority in the union.

Company Claims Loss.
Justice Let's held that the "his-
toric use" basis for sugar rationing
was expressly prohibited by the War
Mobilization and Reconversion Act.
He said Congress had seen fit to
encourage small enterprises and new
plants and had set up statutory
safeguards to protect small plants
and new concerns from discrimina-
tory use of historical-use basis for
any purpose in ration orders"
The Moberly Co. told the court
that It's sugar quota was cut from
$500 pounds for October, 1916, to
$500 pounds in November and 1000
pounds for December.
The reduction, the company said,
forced it to dump 100000 pounds of
