Cure for Epilepsy?
Operation Invented to Relieve Patients Suffering From
Convulsive Seizures Described ...
By Ted Mcdowell

New hope for the Nations 100000 epileptics
is offered by brain operation recently done
at Doctors Hospital in this city.
Traditional treatment for the convulsive
seizures is drug which depresses nervous
activity. Doctors point out that this is no
permanent cure and must be taken con-
stantly.
The violent convulsions of the more serious
cases last about three minutes. During this
time the epileptic loses control of his body
and may bite his tongue. After the shaking
has ceased, half-hour period OF semicon-
sciousness frequently follows.
There are more than $4,000 epileptics in the
Washington area and the disease has directly
caused 38 deaths from 1943 through 1916, ac-
cording to Public Health Service records.
Nationally, the death rate averages about two
in every 100000 OF the population.
Realizing the seriousness of epilepsy, DR..
Arthur A. Morris, a member of the District
Medical Society," studied the brain operation
for four years under DR.. Wilder Penfield at
McGill University in Montreal, Canada. He
has performed Is of the operations in the
past year and a half, and in most" cases
there has been no recurrence of the seizures
DR.. Morris uses an electric brain wave
machine Observation-Disclosures to locate the
brain area causing the seizures. He then maps
the brain with lettered markers. Using the
markers as guide, he removes the affected
brain area, usually about cubic inch. Dr.
Morris Is conservative about claims for his
operation, but the results speak for them
selves.
at will take another 10 years to determine
if the new treatment is completely successful
Right now the results look fairly good,' he
said.
One of DR.. Morris patients was woman
who had been having as many as 10 to II
attacks a day for 18 years. The other was a
man who had suffered brain injury in an
automobile accident. The injury resulted in
epilepsy. Since the operations, both patients
have been free of attacks.
Epilepsy seems to doctors to be caused by a
faulty discharge of nerve impulses from a
small area of the brain. This condition is

for his remarkable statement. The factual
accuracy of the statement is too well known
to ALL but unless the statement Is made by
the proper persons under proper auspices and
with proper party intentions it is received by
surprisingly large sections OF the press and
public as just another sample OF horrendous
red-baiting."
AS clincher to the truthfulness and ac-
curacy of Mr.. Matthews analysis OF MARKHAM
ethics, made 10 years ago, the following ex-
tremely pertinent quotation from the same
volume is presented: "A distinguished pro-
fessor in Union Theological Seminary Rein
hold Niebuhr, has given this Marxist ethical
code at least partial theological respectability
among q large group Of younger Protestant
clergymen in this country over whom his
influence is significant. In his book, 'Renec-
tions on the End OF an Era Prof. Niebuhr
holds that the capitalist world is possessed
by the demon Of hypocrisy and that the
communist or radical world Is possessed by the
demon Of vengeance because 1t is, in his
opinion. capable Of 'puer moral insights.'
Under this theory of deliberately taking ones
stand with the demon of vengeance, a signii-
cant clerical group under Prof Niebuhrs in
huence is able to rationaize and to some
extent at least justify the perpetration of
almost any crime because it serves, as Lenin
said, the interests OF the class struggle of the
proletariat.' I"
Yes. indeed, there are demons in the world.
and many people who claim to be expert on
this subject can find them by looking in
mirrors. H. NJ. r.

Sovereign Ideals

On her eighteenth birthday anniversary
and just week before her coronation,
Wilhelmina Helene Pauline Maria, Prin-
cess OF Orange-Nassau, heir to the throne
OF The Netherlands, issued proclamation
to her people which is as interesting to-
day as 1t was half a century ago. The
text, as published in The Star of August
81, 1898, read in part as follows: II am
ready to accept the splendid though
weighty task whereto have been called,
and I feel myself supported by your
fidelity. = My dearly beloved mother. to
whom I am immensely indebted, set me
an example by her noble and exalted
conception of the duties which henceforth
devolve upon me. True to the con-
stitution, I desire to strengthen the re-
Spect for the name and flag of The
Netherlands. AS sovereign of possessions
and colonies east and west, desire to OBJ
serve justice and to contribute so far as
in me lies to the increasing intellectual
and material welfare of my whole people" "
The sentiments thus expressed were not
a casual gesture. Rather, the world now
knows in terms of history that they were
solemn pledge, courageously fulfilled
during fifty years of peace and war.
Queen Wilhelmina, as she declared last
week, has kept the faith.
Her daughter, Juliana, yesterday re-
placed her as leader of the Dutch nation
and empire. She, too, made use of mean
ingful words in dedication of herself
to the service of the people. Many
good Intentions arc eYnressed r,opv y,lo - 6
laid" she said. Shall we carry them out
in striving for social iustness cultural
development and economic prosperity?
Yes, we can and shall carry out, we
can and shall realize what is In our power
to do" With respect to how, by what
procedures, these objectives should be
achieved, she told the congregation as
sembled in the cathedral at Amsterdam
that she knew of no better way to COM
bat the evils of the world than "by bring.
ing up our children to be free people with
a spiritual foundation, strong sense of
responsibility for their fellows, with re-
spect for all that lives and grows and for
the innermost convictions of others
Such testimony to the high ideals of
free civilization Is timely. 1t contributes
to the confidence of believers in demo-
cratic principles and tested constitutional
routines. The monarchy of The Neither
lands, surviving an age of drastic change,
deserves its popularity when it is persona
fled by sovereigns capable of not merely
expressing such thoughts but likewise of
striving successfully to translate them into
action.

9. O. P. Looks Southwark

1t Is reasonable to suppose that the
Republicans have at least two motives in
their announced intention to put up a
serious fight in the South this year.
One motive grows out of the fact that
they have q real chance to pick up some
electoral votes there, notably in Virginia
and Tennessee. The other may be ascribed
to wholehearted desire to deprive the
President of as many Southern electoral
votes as possible.
In Virginia. for instance, Mr.. Truman
is in serious trouble. Eight years ago
President Roosevelt beat Wendell Willkie
in the Old Dominion by margin of 1885,
900 votes. Four years later his lead over
Governor Dewey was only $1,000, the vote
being 242,000 for Mr.. Roosevelt and 145-
600 for Governor Dewey.
There is every indication that the trend
away from the Democratic national ticket
will be more pronounced this year. Presi-
dent Truman does not begin to have the
personal following in Virginia that his
predecessor enjoyed. He has at best luke
warm support. But in addition to that "a
goodly number of Virginia Democrats who
voted the Roosevelt ticket are not going
to vote for Mr.. Truman. Some, but prob
ably not great many, will switch to the
Republican column. Probably substan-
TALLY larger number will vote for the
States Rights ticket headed by Governor
Thurmond. Henry Wallace can expect to
get few thousand votes, mostly in the
Norfolk and Hopewell area. Beyond this,
an appreciable number of old-line Demo-
Gratis in the State, outraged at the Presi-
dents and the national party's advocacy
of the civil rights" legislation. are simply
not going to vote for any presidential
candidate.
What result the combination of these
factors will produce on election day is
anybody's guess. But there can be no
doubt that the 1914 Democratic margin Of
$1,000 votes is going to be drastically
reduced, and it is entirely possible, If not
probable, that the Republican presidential
candidate will carry the State.
Farther South, the Republicans cannot
hope to win any electoral votes Hence,
from their point of view, the next best
thing is to keep Mr.. Truman from get
ting them, and their chances in this
respect are good.
| In South Carolina, Mississippi, Alabama
and possibly few other States the Thur
mond- Wright ticket will be on the ballot,
and in those States the Truman pros
poets are anything but bright. SO the
obvious strategy for the Republicans there
is to do what they can to throw the
election to the Dixiecrats. II In that area

Era Of Fear

President Truman would do we'll to con-
Eider the admonition of his predecessor
In the White House, who told the country
fifteen years ago that all 1t had to fear
was fear itself
Mr.. Truman sees 1t differently. In his
Detroit speech, speech which will never
win him laurels as statesman, he said
that election Of a Republican administra-
tion would usher in an EZRA Of fear" So
the President, one gathers, is afraid. But
1t Is not quite clear what 1t is that he
fears.
It had been expected that Mr. Truman,
speaking on Labor Day in predominantly
labor city, would go after the Taft-Hartley
Act Presumably, he would point to the
record and cite chapter and verse to show
wherein the operation of this law would
Justify some of the absurd forecasts he
made in his veto message But Mr.. Tru-
man did nothing OF the sort.
The evils of the Taft-Hartley Act pre-
sumably still lie in the future. This
statute has been in effect for more than q
year. A substantial record has been made.
But all that the President offered in sup
port of his criticisms were things like
these: Union men tell me that labor is
Just beginning to feel the effects OF the
law, The Republicans are preparing
stronger measures. i. Do you want (by
electing a Republican administrator to
carry the Taft-Hartley law Ito Its full
Implication and totally enslave the work.
Ing man, white collar and union alike?"
There is no great mystery about why the
President, after more than year OF the
laws operation, still prefers silly gener-
alities to facts. The answer Is that the
facts are against him.
The best source of information on the
real effect of the statute is the interim re-
port of the congressional committee ap-
pointed to observe the functioning OF the
law. The latest report covers only the first
six months of the laws operation, but 1t Is
a revealing document. Strikes, both IN
number and in man-days OF idleness, have
steadily declined since the law became
effective. Wages have Increased. Many
unions have made substantial gains IN
membership. Secondary boycotts and 1ur-
additional strikes have markedly declined
In number The law, instead of impalring
the rights of individual workers, has ma
terially strengthened them. The congress
sional committee publicly urged that any
case Of inequity under the law be brought
10 It's attention After six months, not
single complaint had been received.
so It is not surprising that Mr.. Truman
prefers to try to whip up fear OF the future
It is perfectly obvious why he does not now
try to justify any of his cries OF alarm
OF a year ago. He does not do this because
he cannot. The facts are against him.

u N. Control for Anturctico?

Since the problem involved is very minor

Nevertheless, seven acknowledgements

delegated bits of Antarctica to themselves,
and in some cases the claims and counter
claims have stirred up measure OF bad
feeling. At the moment, because the region
seems to be little more than vast waste
land and because its strategic Importance
in the air age is much less than that OF
the Arctic it is hard to read much sense
into the ri clry But within its 6,OOO,O0O
square miles the continent is believed to

In addition to the seven claimants, other
countries-notably Belgium and Russia
have indicated their interest in the area.
AS for the United States, though active
in exploring the continent, it has long held
to the position that it has no official terri
torial claims in Antarctica, that the claims
of other powers lack validity, and that the
whole region is a no-man's land whose
status has yet to be determined. The State
DEPARTMENTS proposal thus is in keeping
with established American policy
What it favors is some sort Of international
commission to govern the territory under
the overall authority of the United
Nations. The department recognizes how
ever. that formal conference on the SUBJ
iect would be futile at this time, and sc
1t is confining its efforts to informa

from the President, their national pros
poets, already good, will be materially
enhanced.
In any event, the latest pronouncement
by Herbert Brownell, jr., the Dewey-War-
rem campaign manager, indicates that the
Republicans plan serious effort in the
South this year. And they have good
reason to believe that their effort will

brought on either by injury to the brain itself
or by other causes such as fatigue, worry and
changes in metabolism Epilepsy itself Is not
inherited. But as in the case Of mental dis
order, a particular type OF nervous system
might be inherited which could lead to the
seizures under certain conditions.
In many cases, convulsions start with q To-
Called twitching-in an arm, for instance.
This local seizure, If present, is the first clue
to the location Of the affected brain area II
it is the right arm, the left side Of the brain
is sending out the faulty discharges since the
left brain lobes control the right side Of the
body and vice versa.
The examination by the doctor includes
placing electrodes on the scalp and watching
the electrical discharges from the four brain
lobes being recorded on q roll Of graph paper
of the brain wave machine. In the case Of
an epileptic, one OF the lines will show .
periodic nickering. the rolling waves becom-
ing like sharp spikes. During the spike per-
iod, the height of the waves sometimes jumps
to six times the normal BY placing the elec-
trodes at numerous points on the scalp the To-
cation of the abnormal area is determined.
The meticulous operation, sometimes lasting
for hours, comes next With the patient under
a local anaesthetic, the top OF the skull is re-
moved. As . double check against the graph
plotting, the neurosurgeon begins to map the
exposed portion of brain with his markers. He
takes an electric needle and stimulates q par
ticular area If the hand twitches. he knows
that the spot controls hand movement and so
on.
In mapping the brain in this way incident
ally, inconsistencies have been uncovered in the
brain-area diagrams now used by psychologists
and doctors.
During surgery, the operator not only checks
the impulses on the brain wave machine but
periodically uses his stimulating needle to
make sure removal of the section will not inn
pair an important center-say one controlling
speech or sight.
Following removal of the brain tissue. the top
of the skull is replaced. 1t takes about six
months for the brain to heal. The edges seal
up and the cavity fills with fluid. The skull
mends and there are no visible signs Of an
operation.
