CLEVELAND. Mar. 25.-A
physician from Albany, N. Y,
reported today that despite nu-
merous new drugs. general
methods used in the past are
still the most important in
treating arthritiS.
DR.. Thomas F. Frawley. asso-
ciate professor at the Albany
Medical College. told the Amer

tice:
Appropriate treatment may
include the use Of drugs, but
rarely are they Of singular i'm

The physician reported that

adjunct to customary therapeu-

There is an increasing need
for home management of arth-

Egyptians Speculate
On New Outbreak al
End Of Army Rule.
BY the Assoeiossd Press

CAIRO. Egypt. Mar. 25.--A
tense meeting Of Egypt's ruling
revolutionary council ended to-
day with a public announce
ment that the military regime
would hand over all government
tai powers to a freely elected
constituent assembly on July "a.
The surprise announcement of
the impending end to the mill
tary regime provoked specula-
ton as to whether the army's
secret "free officers" movement
would carry out it's threats to
start a new revolution if the
way were opened to the resto-
ration of politicians of the old
Farouk regime.
The council met amid grow
ing reports of differences be-
tween President Mohamed Ma
guib and other members.
Growing Resentment Reported.
There were unconfirmed re-
ports of increased resentment
against Gen. Naguib from young
members of the council. Cairo
streets were completely normal,
however.
Vice Premier Canal Abdel
Nasser's aide. Mai. Amin Shaker,
denied reports published abroad
that a state of emergency had
been newly proclaimed in Egypt.
The state of emergency clamped
down on the country following
the Cairo fire riots of January
26. 1852, never has been lifted.
One of the points of differ
ence within the revolutionary
council repeatedly is that Gen.
Naguib has urged an immediate
end to the martial law in effect
since then. Col. NaSser and
other members of the military
opposed any immediate lifting of
martial law. It's raising had
been promised before the elec-
tions scheduled for July.
Delay of Violence Seen.
All sorts of rumors spread
throughout Cairo and there was
Evening star., 1954-03-25

talk that there might be dis.
turbances. It was believed, how
ever. that If any violent differ-
ences between Gen. Naguib ana
other members Of the coun9il
explode. nothing will happen IN
til after King Saud Of Saudi
Arabia leaves Sunday after q
state visit. m
When Gen. Naguib was L.
stored to Office last month aftSr
being deposed for several days,
the council announced that elec-
tions for a constituent assembly
would be held in July and the
session of the body would be
convened on July %, second an
niversary of the revolution
against ex-King Farouk. II
. Informed sources close to the
council say the group of about
300 officers who plotted the coup
against Farouk oppose the elec-
tions on the ground it might
bring back old regime politicians.

symptoms, he added.
DR.. TIE Linde said removal is
indicated under certain condi-
tions, but circumstances may
show that "a curettage (scrap-
ing) should be done instead of
rushing into hysterectomy."
He added that the possibility
of a fibroid uterus becoming
cancerouS if not removed is
very slight"
Certain it is that the risk of
malignant change is no greater
than the risk of surgery" he

 At a special meeting of the City Council held on Tuesday of this week application was made by our company for electric power to op- crate both plants and the City Council now has under considera- tion this request. To satisfy our power requirements would necessi- tate adding additional capacity to the present plant.
 It is our request to you, the cit izens of Wrangell, to express your selves to your eouncilmen on these matters under consideration so that their final decision shall be the wish of the majority of the com munity. In other words, do you want our company to build a ply wood plant and sawmill in Wran- gell or do you oppose it's construc- tion as applied for?

COMMUNICATION

TO THE CITIZENS OF THE
 CITY OF WRANGELL:

We have today received a letter from the Corps of Engineers, U. S. Army, Office of the District En- gineer, Alaska District, Anchorage, Alaska, in reference to our appli- cation for a permit 10 construct a plywood mill and log booming pond in Wrangell Harbor at Wran- gell, Alaska. The letter lists peo- pie who have filed objections to the construction Of the plant and their reasons for these objections. Several of the business people lo- Cated on Front Street had register ed a qualified objection which they were willing to withdraw provided present channel facilities were re- tained to give water access to their premises. This assurance has been given and their objection is expected thereby to be withdrawn. However, the major objection to construction of the plywood plant surprisingly comes from the City Council. To quote the letter from the Army Engineers:
 "The City of Wrangell objects to the proposed installation on the grounds that under the Citys build ing code the area involved has been set aside as a business zone rather than an industrial zone. In addition the City plans to place a seaplane ramp and possibly a small boat har- Dor in that same area. While this office is primarily concerned with the effect the proposed work have on navigation it is not the policy for the Corps of Engineers to issue a permit when local authorities de- cline to give their consent to the work.
 Tt is suggested that you confer with those parties mentioned with a view toward obtaining a with 6rawal of the objections in writing to forward to this office as final action on application for permit

cannot be taken until conflicting interests have been given an op- portunity to adjust their differ enees. If no agreement can be reached. your reply to this letter should comment on the validity of the objections, and your appliea- tion together with all pertinent in formation will then be forwarded 10 higher authority for a decision as to the issuance of a permit
 Unfortunately. the site we have applied for to establish plywood industry" is situated hetween a plant operating in the fishing business" and a plant which may be engaged in the sawmill "busi- ness" Since it is obviously impos- sible to qualify the sawmill busi- ness and the salmon business as in dustrial operations, the only appar- ent solution is to have the City Council define the plywood indus try as a business.
 The minutes of the City Council meeting in which the action was taken disclose that those present included Lew Williams, Mayor; and Councilmen Haaseth, Beals, Eng strom and Bangeman; and that the motion to enter the objection was made by Councilman Engstrom. seconded by Councilman Beals and unanimously carried
 The plans of our organization call for the establishment of both stud mill (sawmilD and plywood plant, working together to give full utilization to logs of all grades. Either plant without the other would operate at a handicap in ob-
