Although it is possible that almost as
many gall bladders as appendices are
being removed today, few people know
much about this troublesome organ.
Most of its diseases are associated with
gaIIStones, which occur in % per cent Of
women over 20, and in half that many
men. Since they also are more frequent in
fat people, the saying IS that gallstones
are disease Of the flair, fat and forty"
The normal gall bladder is a hollow,
pear-shaped organ attached to the under
surface Of the liver. 1t averages three to
four inches in length and about one inch
in diameter. The stem end Of the pear
connects with the duct system which
drains the bile from the liver.
Bile is one Of the vital digestive juices,
especially important in digestion of fatty
foods. The output Of bile by the liver IS
fairly constant, but it is needed in the
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1956-06-03

intestinal tract only during the digestive
period = usually three times day. The
gall bladder concentrates bile by remov-
ing water and salt and stores it. When
digestion is going on the gall bladder
contracts, delivering bile into the inteS-
tine to do its job.
Chemical Cause
The normal, healthy gall bladder does
its work almost automatically and its
owner is not conscious of its presence.
But when it is diseased it can cause a
great deal Of trouble.
Certain unfortunate combinations of
the several chemicals in bile are prob
ably the chief cause of gallStoneS. Infec-
tons, and the partial blockage Of bile in
a poorly functioning gall bladder, play
part.

Mr.. Snure said that several

vicinity of Sugar Loaf Noun
tain under bill introduced in
the House yesterday by Repre-
sentative Hyde, Republican OF

Civic Group
Opposes Shift in
Plan

Supporters of the Silver
Spring hospital in the Allied
Civic Group last night defeated
by a 81 vote a move to back
a hospital commission measure
as a substitute for the bill which
would provide that hospitals be
financed on a countrywide basis
The civic group voted AZ to
81 against supporting an amend
ment to the bill sought by Mont
gomery County Councilman j
Grahame Walker.
The proposed amendment calls
for a hospital commission, a hos
Ipital need survey and county
wide financing of hospitals.
Last month the civic grour
supported the Silver Spring hos
pital bill in it's present form
which calls for a special hos
pital tax in the 18th election
district but excerpts incorporated
areas.
Approve Officer Slate

1 Ralph Bold, president of the
Silver Spring Hospital Associa-
ton and former president Of
ACC, told the group "the only
reason for promoting this
(Walker) amendment is to de-
feat this (Silver Srping hospital)
bill"
The proposed amendment
would only postpone further any
hospital for Silver Spring, Mr.
Boyd said.
Darwin Stolzenbach, one Of
the group supporting the Walker
amendment. deplored the tax or
18th district residents.
This is not a d democratic way
to support a public facility" he
said.
Samuel B. Groner, anothe,
member of the group supporting
the Walker amendment. said
support for the hospital should
come from countrywide taxes
rather than taxes on just one
area.
Warns of Court Battle
Mr.. Hacken told the group a
countrywide hospital tax would
practically insure a court battle
brought on by residents of the
Western part of Montgomery
County,
Mr.. Boyd declared that work
in Silver Spring after five
countrywide hospital surveys
was what stirred up council
action. Another survey would
only delay progress, he said.

Delaying Tactics Laid
To Hospital Opponents

Montgomery County Council
President Robert T. Snure last
night accused opponents of the
Silver Spring hospital bill of de-
laying tactics aimed at blocking
construction Of the facility.
Mr.. Snure, in a prepared
statement. attacked an amend
ment to the hospital bill that
would create a new hospital
commission and require another
survey of hospital needs in the
county.
The debate over the bill ended
with the measure being set as
the first order of business at to-
days legislative session.
The hospital bill would au-
thorize a SO million bond issue
to be paid off through a tax not
to exceed 7 cents per 500 of as
Sessed valuation on property in
the 18th election district includ-
ing the incorporated areas.
Would Allow Needed Facilities
The amendment, pressed by
Councilman j. Grahame Walker,
would create the commission and
provide for the county to con-
Struct needed hospital facilities
and finance them by a county
wide tax.
II believe and I am thoroughly
convinced that the vast majority
of the people of the 18th election
district agree. that every one in
the county should not be bur-
dened with paying for facilities
which primarily are to a particu-
lar area Mr.. Snure said.
He added he questioned
whether Mr.. Walkers own cleo
tion district-the Bethesda
Chevy Chase would will
ingly participate, taxwise, in
construction of hospitals" in
other areas. The Bethesda Chevy
Chase area supports by contribu-
ton Suburban Hospital.
