eral Federation of Women's
Clubs to Washington.
Later, the GFWC's position
was clarified by the public
affairs chairman, Mrs. Will
liam S. Murray of Hollins,
Va, in her afternoon report.
Mrs. Murray explained that
the federation stands for
national representation for
the District but that it does
not support home rule.
The federation favored the
constitutional amendment to
let Washingtonians cast bal
lots for President and Vice
President which was passed
by the House yesterday after
noon.
The home rule bill, provid-
ing local self government, has
been bottled up in the House

it to the floor of the House
through a discharge petition.
Mr.. Mclaughlin told the
clubwomen that only a few

to force a vote on the issue.
Apparently unaware of the
federation's position, he sug-
geSted that the clubwomen
put in a word for home rule

Baylor Surgeon
Patches Arteries
In apprehension

HOUSTON. Tex. April 10
(AP).-A new technique which
appears to be halting some
cases Of dangerously severe
apprehension. or blood pres
sure, has been developed by a
Houston surgeon. the Houston
Post reported yesterday.
The technique was developed
by DR.. George z. Morris. j., Of
the Baylor University College
of Medicine.
He operates on arteries to
the kidneys which nave been
narrowed by arteriosclerosis, or
hardening of the arteries.
The Post said the operation
has been performed on AZ pa
tientS ranging in age from 80
to 70. OF these, 35 now have
normal blood pressure and
seven have varied degrees of
Improvement.
A researcher in 1894 induced
high blood pressure in animals
by putting clamps on the kid
ney arteries.
In the new operation the
surgeon either corrects the
constructing artery by enlarg-
ing it with a dacron patch or
bypasslng the narrowed Sec
ton with a dacron tubing
graft.
When arteries to the kidneys
are narrowed blood flowing
through he kidneys is slowed
down, the Post said. This
triggers the mechanism for the
release of certain harmones
from the kidneys which, in
turn, produce high blood
pressure"
