NEW YORK, June 4.-The
American Medical Association
has called on Congress to end
free medical care for veterans
with most non-service- connected
ailments.
Such care, the ANA House Of
Delegates said in a resolution
yesterday, puts the Government
"in a gigantic medical program
in competition with private
medical institutions"
It also puts an ever-increasing
burden on taxpayers, the resolu-

Cigarettes Are Cause
.0f Most Bronchitis,
kAConyention Told
By Thomos R. Henry
Science Editor Of The Sfor

NEW YORK, June 4.-Cig-
arctic smoking is from four to
seven times more common as the
cause of bronchitis than every
thing else combined, the Ameri-
can Medical Association annual
convention was told here today.
The bronchial Inflammation
with its persistent cough occurs
in about rs per cent of all who
inhale 20 or more cigarettes a
day. DR.. Barnett A. Greene of
Brooklyn's Adelphi Hospital told
the doctors.
The brand. despite claims of
advertisers, makes little differ
ence.
Existence of bronchitis greatly
complicates use of anesthetics
in surgery. Therefore surgeon
should know something of the
smoking habits of his patients.
DR.. Greene described results
of a "test cough" study of more
than 1000 patients before opera
tion.
Even stopping smoking for "a
hours before an operation. DIR.
Greene said, greatly reduces the
bronchitis and the operative dan
ger. The condition usually COM
pletely disappears after swearing
of for four weeks. If the case
is mild two weeks is sufficient.
Tobacco bronchitis. he said,
els associated almost entirely
with deliberately inhaled smoke.
The one package smoker usually

most always develops the condi-
ton. One investigator has found
20 cigarettes a day the minimum
quantity responsible for laryn-
geal Inflammation.
Abstinence always permits dis
appearance Of tobacco bronchitis.
regardless of its duration. The
condition is rare in cigar and
pipe smokers. Smoking is twice
as common among males as
among females but the practice
of smoking 20 or more cigarettes
a day is practised by about the
same proportion of both sexes.

Southern Railway
And ice Investigate
Wreck at Manassas

A two-way investigation of a
Manassas (Va.) train wreck fatal
to two crewmen has been
launched, but it may be week
or 10 days before the cause is
learned.
The accident occurred early
yesterday when the Southern
Railways Peach Queen, carry
ing Westinghouse passen-
gers. rammed into the rear of a
standing Chesapeake & Ohio
freight train q mile west of
Manassas.
The Southern Railway and the
Interstate Commerce Commits
sion have begun Investigations.
An 1Cc spokesman said pinning
down the cause of the wreck may
be difficult because of the death
OF the passenger trains engineer
and fireman, unless some me-
chanical defect shows up during
examination Of the wreckage.
A Southern Railway spokes-
man said listing a reason for the
crash atvthis early stage would
be simply hazarding a guess. It
would be foolhardy to say"
1CC officials and the railroads
investigators will meet within
a few days to pool what they
have learned and attempt to
N, . cause for the accident.
Freight Cars Switched.
The Investigators had these
preliminary facts with which to
work:
A Southern Railway freight
train was halted temporarily on
the northbound track, switching
cars to siding.
Engineer w. E. Estes and Fire
man W.. d. Morris. pulling Is
cars on a northbound C8cO
freight, halted their train to
wait for the switching opera
ton to end.
c. w. Richardson, fiagman on
the C6ZO freight, got off and
walked to the rear of the train.
This, railroad spokesmen ex-
planned. is a routine procedure
when a train is halted in an
operation apart from the normal
schedule.
The Peach Queen, also north
bound, and with Engineer
George A. Schelhorn and Fire.
man II. w. Sublett riding the
diesel cab, approached. An auto
matte red grade signal was
flashed.
Speed Is Normal.
Railroad rules permitted the
passenger train to advance
through the signal at a reduced
speed. At Manassas this nor
mally is about 10 miles an hour.
and railroad men said this speed
apparently was being observed.
Conductor j. G. Mehanes
Of Gordonsville. Va, riding the
caboose of the G. & o. freight.
said it suddenly became appar-
ent to him that the Peach
Queen was not going to stop.
He stepped of the caboose
and walked away to. safety.
Mr.. Schelhorn and Mr.. Sub
lett, both Of Alexandria. va.
were killed instantly and their
bodies pinned in the wreckage
OF the diesel locomotive.
Thirteen passengers of the es-
timated $50 on the train were
hurt, none seriously.

Studies Shed New Light
On Cause of Ulcers

A hitherto unknown mind
body mechanism responsible for
many cases of stomach ulcers
was described before the associ-
alton today.
Such emotional stresses as
rage, fear. worry and frustra-
ton first cause the cerebral cor
tex, the top Of the brain which
is the seat of all consciousness,
to send nerve impulses to the
hypothalamus, one Of the cen
tiers in the mid brain, according
to the report of DR.. Seymour j.
Gray and his associates of
Harvard Medical School.
This hypothalamus is stimu-
lated to secrete an as yet uniden-
titled "hormone" which in turn
stimulates the pituitary gland in
the brain to Secrete another hor-
none which stimulates the cor
tex of the adrenal gland. This in
turn is stimulated to pour forth
extra amounts of cortisone and
similar compounds. These slim
ulate the stomach walls to secrete
extra amounts of acids which are
the direct cause of the ulcers.
This DR.. Gray explained, is
part of the well-known alarm
reaction" by which the body is
thrown automatically into fight-
ing shape when danger threat
ems. It takes place not only as
a response to emotion, but to Sc
we're pain. fatigue, infections and
wounds. Nature devised it as a
life-saving reaction. The stom-
ach ulcers are Just an untoward
side effect.
The new-found mechanism
almost eliminates the nervous
system and provides a purely
chemical pathway from brain to
stomach, DR.. Gray reported.
