Over $50 leaders in business,
labor, farm, education, religion
and women's organizations have
Joined the National Council of the
Committee for the Marshall Plan
ITO Aid European Recovery, of
which Henry L. Stimson is Ma
tional Chairman with Robert P.
Patterson, former Secretary of
War, serving as head of the Exec
utive Committee. The purpose of
this Committee, in the great de-
bate on the Marshall Plan, is to
work for immediate and effective
American aid to war-devastated
Europe.
1t is the belief of this Commit
tee that the recovery of Europe
is necessary for our own security
and prosperity, and the Commit
tee has evolved a four-point pro-
gram which it feels is essential to
a successful European Recovery
Program. The four points of the
program read as follows: Gone
effective aid is prompt aid. The
European Recovery Program must
go into effect on April l, 1948.
TiDo-effective aid is aid which
will do the whole job. We must
provide the $6.8 billion requested
for the first Is months, for if we
do less we will merely be keeping
Europe on a dole Three
effective aid is based on mutual
respect and honor. We must not
impose conditions which will in
I, volve our interference in the do
|, mestic affairs of these European
countries. Four-effective aid is
aid that will bring recovery and
self-support and not a hopeless
load of debt. We should not ex-
pect payment for most of what
we furnish, but should under
stand that our return will be in
creasing prosperity and security
for u.s."
To the many Americans con-
cerned and confused about the
issues involved in the Marshall
Plan, the formation of this Com
mittee was a direct answer to
their deep desire for action. In his
article, 1.-THE Challenge to Ameri-
cans" in Foreign Affairs of Octo-
Der, 1947, Mr.. Stimson stated, ''The

Health For All
Surgical Treatment of
tuberculosis

Bed rest is fundamental in the
cure of tuberculosis. There is abso-
lutely no substitute for it. How
ever, in some cases it is necessary
to supplement bed rest with surgi-
cal treatment. All surgical treat
ment of tuberculosis is aimed at
helping bed rest do it's job.
Collapse therapy, or collapsing
the lung by major or minor sur
gerry, is one accepted method. When
the diseased area of the lung is
collapsed, the work of the lung is
diminished and the cavity and dis
eased area have chance to heal.
The most common method of
collapse used is known as thera-
peutic pneumothorax. Ais is intro
duced into the chest cavity outside
and around the lung, temporarily
collapsing the lung. The air keeps
the lung relaxed and decreases its
movement in breathing, thus al
lowing the diseased part of the
lung to heal. Some of the air intro
duced into the chest cavity is alb
sorbed by the tissues so more air
must be introduced at regular in
tervals. After the diseased lung is
healed, it is allowed to re-expand
gradually bv extending the time
between "refills" Of air. and by IN
iections of increasingly smaller
amounts of air.
Sometimes pneumothorax is in
effective because Of adhesions hold
ing the lung to the chest wall. In
that case an operation called pneu-
monolysis is performed. The adhe-
sions are cut to make collapse pos
sible, and the cavity closes as the
lung collapses.
One of the simplest collapse
therapy operations to provide adj
ditional rest for the lung is one
which paralyzes the diaphragm by
crushing or cutting the phrenic
nerve. This nerve begins in the
neck and runs the length of the
chest on each side to the dia-
phragm, the powerful muscle
which controls breathing. When
the diaphragm is paralyzed either
temporarily for few months, or
permanently, the work of the lung
on that side of the chest is limited
or stopped and it is therefore Civ
en- a chance to heal.
Sometimes, a patients lung may
be so badly damaged by tubercu-
lous disease that its temporary col
lapse is not enough. Thoracoplasty
is major form of surgery used to
collapse the lung permanently. By
it, ribs over the diseased area of
the lung are removed, allowing the
soft tissues of the chest to press
against the lung and collapse it.
This will close the majority of
lung cavities and permanently col
lapse the lung in that area.
These are some of the most COM
monty used surgical methods in
the treatment of tuberculosis. AL
though bed rest is the prime fac
tor in tuberculosis care, surgical
treatment, however, is sometimes
necessary also for the welfare of
the patient.

Montgomery SideIights :
BY ELSIE WHITE HAINES

The balmy 70 degree tempera-
ture last week on the day we should
have normally written this column
produced touch of spring fever
and the article intended for this
week is still unfinished.
We thought you would be inter
ested in a clipping sent by friend
with whom we had discussed the
ever increasing numberof. divorces.
We had agreed that the many du-
ties of the rural woman and the
"chores" assigned rural children
many times kept the former from
divorce and the latter from the
juvenile courts. (Among Montgom-
cry County farmers the divorce
rate is very low.)
Dated January 20, this is a
MANA dispatch. 1t runs, AFTER
having been married for 30 years,
John Caster, Minnesota farmer,
told his wife, Mary, that he want
ed to divorce her in order to marry
20-year-old girl. Mrs. Caster re-
Piled calmly that she would have
no objection provided he paid her
the money he owed her.
1.-THE husband was only toe
pleased to get off so easily and
asked his wife to give him a de-
tailed account. When she had fin
ished her account, the wife wrote
her husband:
Dear John:
when we were married, &c
years ago. you asked me to keep Il
careful account Of all assets and
liabilities, and this / did. Accord
ing to this account you owe me:
| 30 years salary as housekeep'
er, $4,000.
80 years salary as a farm mana
geress, $4,000.
80 years salary as children's
nurse, cook and maid, $4,000.
Total, $4,000.
Less allowance for food, lodging
and clothes, $4,000.
Balance, 100000.
Mrs. Caster then gave a detailed
account of the number of meal.
she had prepared, of the hours
spent washing up, of how man!
times she had cleaned the shoes
of the holes in stockings she ha6
mended
Then she continued: 81 am mo-

other farmers wives may have
done. | have left out of this ac
count other duties which cannot b,

you had paid for them.
"But you still want to leave mi
and share the assets accumulate,
by me with younger woman. You
will of course agree with me thai
it would not be fair to dissolve oui
partnership without paying m,
off,"
