- tn at trying to put on
weight is often as great q
problem as having to take it
off.
Your doctor probably will
put you on foods he tells his,
overweight patients to stay
away from, like butter,
cream, milk. fatty meats. graf
vies, matted milks, bread,
cakes, pies, candies and nuts
Here's another suggestionl
You say your job keeps YOU
running all day. That's eni
ergy-c consuming, you know.
Then why not give up your,
weight-lifting for a whilea
Time enough for that when
you are overweight and be-
gin to wonder how you cam
take off those extra pounds3

Mr.. TWEEDY

Dear DR.. Steincrohn: Will
you please discuss systemic
lupus erythematosus? Thank
you. - Mrs. z.
THIS DISEASE is a large
question mark to doctors
themselves. We are not sure
Of its cause nor have we
found a specific treatment
that will cure it.
Lupus is a coIlagen dis
ease. Some say it's due to a
reaction of the system to
Streptococci; others say a vi
rus is the cause. We make
the diagnosis by finding what
we call L. E. cells - in addi-
ton to the usual symptoms,
Of course. There are two dis
tinct types. One, the chronic
or diScoid type. The other,
the severe systemic type
called the accute.
In the chronic type there
are diScoid LESSONS and SWELL
ing of the skin which are
sometimes helped by freezing
with carbon dioxide or by
giving antimalarial drugs like
atabrine. In the acute types
we give steroids which effect
relief, but do not act as a
specific cure.
Lupus is a great simulator.
In early stages, diagnosis
may be missed. 1t may begin
as arthritiS or infection of
the pleura (the covering of
the lungs). In some cases
where it has involved the
CASTRO intestinal tract it has
simulated acute appendicitis
or gall bladder attack.
A common accompaniment
Of the typical lupus is the
so-called butterfly lesion
across the nose and cheeks.
There are many varieties of
skin involvement. The pa
tient with lupus must not
expose hts skin to sunlight,
for this often aggravates skin
LESSONS.

julie Zabawa's fine choir from
the Church of the Reformation
returned to the National Gal
lery last night, continuing a
collaboration with Ric h a r d
Bales and the Gallery Orches-
ira which has, on the whole,
been popular and artistically
satisfying.
Last nights undertaking was
Beethoven's C Major Mass-one
Of those works which. like the
Choral Fantasy and "Welling-
toms Victory" are performed
infrequently, but still a good
deal more often than they der
serve. Only a few isolated
flashes of inspiration and, of
course, the composers name
have kept it from being inferred
for good more than a century
ago. That those flashes are
there cannot be denied.
The fugal Cum Sancto Spir-
itu" section reaches an exalted
state to be stunningly climaxed
by a series of chord progress
sions only Beethoven could
have written. The unaccom-
panied quartet's Benedictus is
a thing of placid beauty in the
best manner of the happy pc
riod in which it was written.
But these gems are over bal
anced by a whole which is usu-
ally commonplace and, not in
frequently. as in the melodra-
matte Crucifixus, and the cheap
symbolism of the "Pleni sunt
coeli ct terra" pretty silly.
If the piece falls short of the
late D Major Solemn Mass in
both quality and quantity, it
is still typically unsympathetic
Beethoven vocalism, and it is
no pushover. In the quartet of
Soloists, all of whom are ad-
mired and experienced local
singers, the outer parts suf-
fered the most. Mr.. Zabawa is
as much Wagner tenor as Bee
thoven low bass (if I'm not

chorus tenors a good deal of

tremities were simply not

the other end of the spectrum
(and rare are the sopranos who
do not in this piece) which
kept her on the slightly dreary
side of the pitch in the higher
reaches. Beethoven abused the
inner voice parts a little less
and they came off a little bet :

Choir was, by its own stand !

was unaccountably muffled;
pitch occasionally dubious.
and tonal blend =. we'll, there
was none. The sections seemed
to be uncertain and relying
more than they should on the
respective soloiSts. The aural
impression was that of hearing
all the chorus singers led by
the hand and-somewhat hilar-
iouSly at "Deum de Deo'-
punched in the ribs.
I must re-state, however,
that the ales-Zabawa COLA
boration is a good one. I hope
to see it continued, with a little
more work and a composer who
will offer something better and
more gratifying for the singers,
Mozart and Haydn, to be sure J
to say nothing of Schubert. |
Haydn opened last nights,
with a big and blus-s
terry reading of the 'Drumrollrs

ceilings imposed by Congress.
Additional super-grade jobs
would have to be approved spe-
officially by Congress, along with
an easing Of the present super
grade ceiling.
Prior to this. however, the
CSC will scrutiniZe all agency
requests for super-grade jobs
and submit to the Budget Bu-
reau for transmission to Con-
gress the requests 1t finds are
justified.
The outlook for more super
grade jobs is more promising
now than it has been in some
time.
For one thing, during most of
the Eisenhower administration
the Democratic Congress was
reluctant to grant more super
grade jobs.
However, the new admins
stration is reported to be very
eager for Congress to approve
more super-grade jobs. The
Kennedy team feels that an
establishment the size and
scope of the Government needs
considerably more highly paid
jobs to reward adequately the
many top people in important
jobs Throughout the Govern
ment.
And with a Democratic ad-
ministration now in power. the
Democratic controlled Con-
gress is apt to look more fav-
orably on additional super
grade job requests. This doesn't
mean Congress will approve all
requests, but in all likelihood
it will be more liberal in this
regard than it has been in the
past.
SHORT TERM EMPLOY
ES--Representative Holifield
Democrat of California, h q s
sponsored a bill which many
feel has a definite chance of
passage during this session OF
Congress.
The bill, HR-4902, is intend
ed primarily to benefit the
families Of Federal employees
who die before completing five
years of Government service.
At the present time, such
families are denied survivor
ship benefits.
Mr.. Holifield's bill would
make them eligible for family
survivorship benefits under So
cisl Security If the employees
have been in Government fol
at least 1S months.
In the event an employe dies
with less than five years oi
service, the Social Security
tax would be deducted from the
lump sum payment to the fam.
lily Of his Civil Service retire
ment contributions. But thu
main point is that the famil!
would then be eligible for So
cial Security survivorship bene'
fits for the spouse and minol
children.
The bill would amend tht
Civil Service retirement sys'
TEN to provide these benefits
In no way does the bill provide
for merging or co-ordinatins
the Civil Service system with
Social Security. The only linl
with Social Security is that
when a short-term employt
dies, his family would ther
contact Social Security for tht
benefits.
