Nays order, inasmuch as the va
rious AFL Government employees
unions contain o total membership
of more than 100000. One Of the
officials leading the fight against
the order Is James B. Burns, presi-
dent Of the AFL American Fedora
ton of Government Employees.
"It only stands to reason that the
best kind Of union leadership comes
from employees who have some kind
of supervisory and administrative
ability" Mr.. Burns declares. ITO
bar such employees from active
membership would seriously cripple
unions"
Another thing that makes Mr..
Burns and his colleagues angry is
their contention that they and the
Navy previously had reached an
agreement to let President Truman
decide the issue. The Navy had Is
sued q similar order several years
ago, but did not put 1t in operation
after agreeing to await Mr.. Tru-
mans decision. Now, Mr.. Burns
charges. the Navy has broken this
agreement.
The Navy's contention Is that SUI
pervisory employees cannot perform
their duties satisfactorily If they
represent the very workers they
boss. It doesn't make for efficien-
cy and is poor management policy,
the Navy declares.
The order allows supervisory and
administrative employees to belong
to unions and attend meetings, but
it denies them the right to hold any
union office or to serve Is member
ION any union board or committee.
CLASSIFICATION The Senate
Civil Service Committee has started
q thorough investigation Of the
Federal Classification Act.
The project will be a long one,
however. and no congressional ac-
ton may be expected before next
year, at least. But the very fact
that, at last, something Is being
done to modernize the 25-year- -old
law which sets up Government
salaries and job classifications Is
very encouraging. -
The committees stan is going into
all phases Of the act 10 determine
where Job classffications should be
made. Lifting of the $4,000 ceiling
almost certainly will be recommend
ed as salaries for administrative
positions are revised upward

INDIGESTION, which has been
called "the great American stom-
ach," is one of the most common
disorders of mankind. And if its
sufferers are legion, so are its symp-
toms and causes. For this reason,
it is among the most difficult of
the physicians problems.
Indigestion may be due to some
actual disease of the digestive or
CANS or it may result merely from
poor functioning of the stomach and
bowel. Thus, the first question the
doctor treating a patient with in
digestion must decide is whether a
diseased condition is responsible for
the trouble.
Due to Nerves
Previous studies have shown that
it is never safe to assume that the
symptoms of poor digestion are due
to NERVES" In one study of more
than $500 patients, it was found
that half of those with stomach and
bowel disturbances had some actual
organic disease.
Recently this figure has been
strikingly confirmed by DR.. Henry
M. Winans in a study of 1000 pa
tients, 200 of whom complained
chiefly of indigestion. OF this num-
Der, more than half had organic
diseases of the stomach and bowel
Examination revealed them to be
suffering from such things as ulcer
cancer Of the stomach, liver dis
ease, gallstones. anemia, bowel in
flammation and the little out-pouch-
ings of the intestinal wall known
as diverticula.
In view of this great variety OF
things which may produce digestive
troubles, it is clear that no case Of
indigestion can or should be treated

Common Causes Of Indigestion

until thorough study has revealed
its cause.
Combining the examination to
X-rays of the stomach, bowel, and
gallbladder is not advisable because
of the many other conditions pro-
ducing indigestion which cannot be
revealed by such a limited examlna-
ton. For example, heart failure
often causes digestive upsets.
