Acth Reported Hating
Attack Of Acute Gout
BY ihe Assoeiated Press

CHICAGO. Jan. 27.-Evidence
that one or two injections of ex-
tremely scarce Acth can stop an
attack of acute govt was reported
today in the Journal of the Amer
lean Medical Association.
Acth is the new hormone that
has proved dramatically effective
against long list of diseases
that defled other treatment. But
it is so scarce it has been used
only experimentally. And expert
ments have indicated it is a con-
troll and not a cure-requiring
long continued administration.
Drs. H. M. Margolis and Paul
S. Captain of Pittsburgh said two
govt sufferers were relieved with
In an hour and IS minutes with
a single injection. In a third case
two injections were required.

Peace Talks
SOUGHT Next Week
By the Associated Press

DETROIT, Jan. 1.-THE Chrys-
Ter pension strike. with more than
100000 auto workers off the job,
moved quietly into its third day
today.
For the time being Government
mediators took the chief roles.
There was no prospect of peace
negotiations before next week,
however.
Peace prevailed on the limited
picket lines of the striking CO.
United Auto Workers, $4,000 of
whom quit in Chrysler plants
Wednesday.
Another $4,000 were laid off in
the car body plants of the Briggs
Manufacturing Co., supplier for
Chrysler.
State and Federal mediators
said they hoped to bring the COM
pany and union together for talks
next week.
AS watchful waiting period
progressed, the unions 23-man
international Executive Board
studied the situation. The board
was in session here.
The dispute hinges on the form
of Chrysler's $10O-a-month pen
sion offer, including social security.
The union demands a trust fund
for the plans financing and a
voice in administration as we'll as
a package equaling 10 cents an
hour per worker.
Chrysler, which has not esti-
mated the cost of its offer, objects
to the fund proposal and joint
administration. The company
says its own Integrity is sufficient
to back it's promise to pay.
The unions radio station
WDET, invited Chrysler today to
discuss the merits of the dispute
on the air for the benefit of "our
listeners and the community"

STEP BY STEP

John T. Flynn, in his thought-provok-
ing book "The Road Ahead" discusses var
ious socialist aims in the United States. In
the course of it he says: Another project
now under heavy pressure by the Socialist
Planners is socialized medicine. 1t is, of
course, not called soeialized medicine, but
health Insurance. y. This Isl plan similar
to, the one now operating in Britain under
its Socialist government Under it all en-
ployers and their employees would be tax
ed at the payroll window. +. for medical
care. The proponents of this scheme had
the effrontery to call it free medical care.
OF course it is not. 1t will be paid for by
taxes which will come out of everyone's
pockets :. The system is now on trial in
England. 1T is by every standard of judg-
ment CHASTITY failure.
What the American must under
stand, however, is that while each of these
proposals-Federal invasion of banking,
Federal invasion of power and socialized
medicines promoted as if it were a
single reform unrelated to all the others,
the simple fact is that each is intended to
liquidate some sector of the private enter
prise system and expand the area of social
ism. When the whole program is we'll adj
vanced, we will be a socialized people up
ON the British model"
This is socialism on piecemeal basas.
It's proponents know that the American
people would never swallow the bitter
program under its right name, so they are
trying to slip it over little by little under
different titles. Socialized medicine,
whetheg wes call it government health in
surancesor anything else, is one of the big
steps.

Secretary Of Commerce Sawyer ne 49,
ffient for repeal is based on TWO Iaevss
First. Athese taxes were strictly wal

SIGNED TO. discourage production OF CERTAIN
kinds 81 goods.at time when the whole
nation was straining to live up 10 the heeus
of the war effort. The revenue the taxes
raised was secondary mater. The war
has been over for years yet the taxes re-
main on the books.
Second, retailers, manufacturers ana
others who know what is gong on say
that these taxes definitely harm the sale
of affected items. For instance, an addi-
tional 90 per cent tackled on top of the
price of fur coat is enough to stop many
people from making the purchase. En-
ployment is thus adversely affected. And
the volume of retail trade. which has so
much to do with our prosperity, is less
than it would,be otherwise.

any, from the Presidents message to Con-
gress.

been much better if it never had been de-

An interesting side-light on the sltua-

reflect the sentiment of the party because
they insist that they will attempt to bring
about balanced budget for the coming
