quiring attention on the floors
Of both Houses, running the
District has been turned over to
committees. In the last Con-
gress the House committee was
run by Southern Democrats. Mr..
Donohue is a Fair Deal" Demo-
crat. The two don't mesh on
many subjects. Now the COM
mittees on both sides of the
Capitol will be G. o. P.-con-
trolled. A Fair Dealer would
hardly be the most persuasive
advocate the city could have
before them.
Since he has been q CommiS-
sioner, Mr.. Donohue has been
in the forefront In Democratic
activities. He worked diligently
for the White House-approved
candidacy Of w. Averell Harri-
man in the Democratic primary
here last summer. This was when
President Truman wanted to
block any further delegates for
Senator Kefauver at the ap-
preaching party convention.
Senator Kefauver will be back
passing on District matters.
At the Chicago convention, as
head of the District delegation,
Donohue plugged for Hartman
until 1t became clear who was
going to get the nomination.
Then he let q slip Of the tongue
indicate his preference for Ste
venson in announcing the Dis
trict stand during q roll call.
He had then to request the floor
and say he meant to cast the
votes for Harriman's candidacy.
After the nomination of Mr..
Stevenson, Mr.. Donohue was
named among the possibilities
for chairman Of the Democratic
National Committee before the
appointment of Stephen Mitchell.
Bitter Disappointment
He then headed the Stevenson
Sparkman drive in the District.
Along with many other local
Democrats, he was bitterly dis
appointed when Gov. Stevenson
came to and departed from the
Capital without visiting the
homegrown celebration he had
lined up for the occasion.
There was some angry tele-
phoning to the Capitol by Mr..
Donohue after this snub. Vice

man tried to smooth ruined
feathers. The Commissioner
worked hard for the ticket all
the way down to the end.
But even If these activities
would not reduce his effective
ness as a special pleader for
the District on the Hill, one
other bit of politicking he did
before he became Commissioner
Is bound to make him persona
non grata with the incoming
crowd.

The late Franklin D. Roose-

Prevention of cerebral palsy
In babies is a goal that now ap-
pears more hopeful. Many
cases come from accidents or
injury during formation Of the
baby in the mothers womb.
German measles, suffered by
the mother early during preg-
nancy, can cause various kinds
Of deformities. and nerve dam
age or cerebral palsy as well
In her baby.
Drugs May Hurt
Animal experiments by DR..
Samuel p. Hicks of Boston in
dicate that X-rays and certain
chemicals or drugs can harm
the embryo at certain times
during pregnancy.
Nerve cells are especially
vulnerable to damage at the
time when they are Just form
ing IN the embryo, when they
are growing at the fastest rate.
Anything that causes lack Of
oxygen. or upSets metabolism
or chemical balance Of the un-
born child. even for q few hours,
may result In malformation or
arrangement Of nerves and
nerve switchboards Of the brain.
Besides seeking these invisible
factors, researchers are helping
to institute more careful OBJ
stetrical methods to prevent
injuries at birth.
Research promises to uncover
many of the yet-unknown
causes. When they are known,
precautions could be taken for
mothe to-be to avoid drugs,
diseas, radiation or other
things that could injure their
children.

before birth, or sometimes at
birth. There are grounds now for
hope of finding methods to. pre-
vent this toll. says DR.. Charles
r. McKhann Of Philadelphia,
medical director Of the founda-
ton.
BY conservative estimate, $780,
600 Americans have cerebral
palsy. About $4,000 are adults,
many stricken during adult life.
Auto-accident injuries to the
head are q main cause. So are
war battle wounds, strokes"
and brain fever or encephalitis.
The effects are varied, so
varied that no two cases Of
cerebral palsy are exactly alike.
In one patient. part Of the
brain may be deadened or NAL
formed. so muscles are para
lyzed. In another, nerves may
fire continuous messages. twist
ing a muscle, making it rigid,
pulling leg or arm to one side.
This is the so-called spastic.
Imprisoned Minds
Bright, intelligent minds may
be locked helplessly In prison
when cerebral palsy affects
hearing and speech and eyes.
Cerebral palsy could make
you or any one else such
prisoner. You would know what
you wanted to say and do. But
the words would come out
jumbled. Your body, arms or
legs would be out of control.
For the baby born with cere-
bral palsy, the hurdles to normal
living can be greater than for
a child stricken by polio after
several years of normal living
and learning. An especially
tragic fact is that most cerebral
Evening star., 1952-11-09

A triple attack is opening
against cerebral palsy, the
Gripping disease which comes
from damage to nerve switch
boards of your brain.
Cerebral palsy can hit any
one, any time. You could be a
victim tomorrow from brain in
Jury in an auto accident.
It simply means the loss,
jumbling, jangling or short
circuiting Of nerve control over
muscles. It is like a haywire
telephone switchboard knock
Ing out some telephones. or
routing calls to the wrong re-
ceivers. It can affect any part
Of the body, depending on the
location and extent of brain
injury.
The main attack now is treat
ment and rehabilitation. Often
this succeeds in making other
nerve circuits and muscles take
over the job Of the out-of-order
nerves and muscles.
A secondary way of beating
cerebral palsy is-doctors hope
through neurosurgery. Some
times Scared parts of the brain
can be removed to eliminate
nerve static"
And the third goal is to pin
down the causes Of cerebral
palsy in newborn babies. If sue
cessful, doctors will be able to
protect mothers-to-be to pre-
vent crippling of their unborn
children.

fornia to campaign for her.
Her victorious opponent was
Richard Nixon. Vice President
elect since Tuesday night.
The Commissioner has said
he considers his appointment
by President Truman "per-
sonal" and hence he would
submit his resignation regard
less Of whether Gov. Stevenson
or Gen. Eisenhower won out.
Certainly he has been o good
lieutenant, following his cap
tain's line without regard to
consequences. Good examples
are his championship Of home
rule against the group Of South
erners in Congress opposing 1t
here, and his attempt to force
racial integration in the Fire
Department which has stirred
outright rebellion.
Voried Feelings
Because Of his willingness to
step into controversy. there viii
be many who win rejoice In
his leaving and many others
who win mourn the loss OF O
champion.
Mr.. Donohue is shrewd, suave
and energetic. In many ways
he has been q good Commits
sioner. For example. he, and
his colleagues under his leader
ship. have done more to bring
District problems to the citi-
zens than any other group Of
city heads within the memory
of this columnist.
Immediately following his ap-
pointment he took to the local
hustings-the civic organiza-
tionS-to meet civic leaders and
discuss local matters with them.
When he appeared at one asso-
ciation, q member was heard to
remark that this was the first
time he had ever seen q Com
missioner. His back-breaking
schedule Of after-work addresses
has been the subject Of more
than one marveling newspaper
article.
Later he began a regular radio
program on which he handled
unrehearsed questions on many
subjects from some of the towns
newsmen. Still later he and
his colleagues began a weekly
television show. Both Of these
shows are currently going on.
ComoIier Speoks
The other Democratic mem
ber. Mr.. Camalier. has issued q
post-election statement that he
will not resign. A lawyer, he
formerly was a special repre-
sentative for Senator McCarran.
Democrat. Of Nevada when the
latter headed the Senate Dis
trict Committee. In this Ca
pacity, Mr.. Camalier did q lot
of the detail work and acquired
some knowledge of the way the
District government runs.
When Mr.. Donohue leaves, Mr..
Camalier becomes senior civilian
Commissioner In line for the
presidency of the board.
There Is room for speculation
on the leadership this win pro-
vide the District. Ever since he
was appointed, he has followed
Mr.. Donohue's lead closely and
enthusiastically.
A clue to his future attitude
might be found in his post
election statement issued ct the
District Building. The message
said in part:
Gen. Eisenhower is q great
American. I am a great Ameri-
can. Therefore I will support
my President in every way" He
added that the election results
would "spur me on to greater
efforts"
It is q "consummation de-
voutly to be wished" that Presi-
dent Eisenhower will want to
return the District administers
tion to q non-political concept
whenever vacancies give him the
chance.

ary to find out.
