STOP KILLING YOURSELF
Blood Pressure
Not Her Worry
= BY DR.. PETER J. STEINcRoHN

have been having hot flashes
and sweats for the past few
years. One doctor says 1t Is
my nerves, and another
blames it on the menopause.
Is it possible to still have
menapausal symptoms at the
age Of 58?-Mrs. T.
IT Is POSSIBLE. Some
women have these discom-
forts as many as 10 or more
years after the beginning Of
menopauSe. Both doctors
may be correct, as nervous
ness is often as much a part
Of the menopause as the hot
flashes and sweats. Estrogens
(female hormones) often
help.
Dear DR.. Steincrohn: My
husband has been told he has
the opposite Of diabetes.
When he eats food with sugar
or high in carbohydrates, his
insulin runs wild and destroys
the sugar. He Is a very
nervous person who has spells
Of weakness and actual trem-
bling. Does this have any
thing to do with his trouble?
He has been feeling this way
for a year.-Mrs. B.
HE SHOULD have his blood
studied to rule out the pres
ence Of hyperinSulinism Most
often the cause cannot be
found. In these patients a
high protein diet and one low
in carbohydrates is important
in preventing frequent, sharp
falls in the blood sugar. Oc-

Dear DR.. Steincrohn:
Would a blood pressure read
Of 10 over 70 make q 27-
year-old woman have ex-
treme weak spells?-Mrs. C.
YOUR DOCTOR will have
to look elsewhere for the cause
Of your weak spells. Your
blood pressure reading is not
really low blood pressure.
You should be tickled that
1t is normal.
Many persons continue to
be perturbed, instead Of
thankful, for a blood pres
sure such as yours. I have
known many patients who
we're outstanding athletes,
without any weakness or
other symptoms whatever,
whose syStolic pressure rarely
rose over 80 or 100. I never
prescribed medicines to raise
it. as there isn't any such
incidence that will keep a
prussure higher indefinitely.
And I wouldn't II I could.
I know that many people
go in for injections, tonics
and other treatments to
raise a nice pressure like
yours, but they are wasting
their time and money. Low
blood pressure should not, as
a rule, be a problem for
patients unless it is quite low
as a result of underlying dis
ease. Like Addison's disease,
for instance, in which the
pressure is abnormally low.

Mr.. Patton went before the
full Judiciary Committee with
a statement in which he argued
that the disclosure of the data
would be Invaluable to foreign
competitors of United States
companies.
He also contended there
would be injury in relation to
competition with domestic
makers of aluminium, plastic,
glass and other materials which
can be substituted for steel IN
some uses.
All this, he argued, would be
harmful to the country as well
as the steel industry.
I'VE believe that Govern
ment and business should be
working shoulder to shoulder
to provide this country with
the healthy, growing and pros
porous steel industry that is so
essential to our national Sc
curity and a sound national
economy" Mr.. Patton said.
"A big stride in this direc-
ton and in restoring the con-
ffidence of the business COM
munity, can be taken by this
committee by relieving us of
the serious competitive threat
to which these subpoenas have
exposed U.S."
Senator Kefauver, seeking to
rebut Mr.. Patton's arguments,
contended that:
First, U. S. Steel Corp, when
faced with antitrust proposals
that it divest some of its pro-
ducing units. readily produced
its cost figures to show that
the breakup of the giant firm
would result in less efficiency
and higher production costs.
Second, that the questions
submitted to steel companies
by the subcommittee were only
a simplified and much less de-
tailed version of the cost re-
ports used by the Office of
Price Administration in war
time, which were prepared with

asking for the cost data.
And, in an exchange with

man, Mr.. Patton said that stee
earnings are going to be worsC
in the current third quarter
than earlier in the year.
Senator Kefauver had re-
marked that he believed Re-
public Steel was the only in
dustry company that had beer
forced to reduce its dividends
because Of declining earnings
mo, SIR" Mr.. Patton replied
promptly. He said Wheeling
Steel, Lukens Steel, and Pitts

all had cut their dividends
and went on:
"A number of other COM
panies didn't earn enough to
cover the dividends they did
pay, and 1 am sorry to say the
earnings reports for the third
quarter of this year will be
worse"
Republic he's cut its dividend
rate from So to 50 a year.
The question before the Ju-
dietary Committee was whether
it should support a contempt
of Congress move launched by
Senator Kefauver's subcommit-
tee against the four companies
and their executives for fail
ing to supply the cost data.
Senator Kefauver's group,
the Senate Antitrust and Mo-
nopoly Subcommittee, issued
the Subpoenas last April when
the Kennedy administration
was bringing pressure against
a $6-a-ton steel price increase
that some major companies had
made. The price increase was
rescinded.
On August 81, the Kefauver
subcommittee voted, 5 TO 2 on
party lines. to recommend con-
tempt citations against the
companies that failed to supply
the cost data.

Third, that the steel COM
panies submitted their cost data

@. Can a convert to Catholicism,
who was previously married to a de
vOrced woman as a Protestant, and
subsequently divorced, become mar
ried to a Catholic in the Church
(Catholic)?
A. AS always in questions of valid
ity of marriages and such there must
be individual discussion of the facts.
1t is best to go to the pastor of the
Catholic party Cor as a preliminary
step to some priest you a consult)
and present the situation to him.
The marriage of Protestants is ac-
cepted by the Catholic Church as is
any other marriage which has no def
mite land provable) in~validating
factor. If a Protestant marries some
one who is divorced, but is still truly
married lie. the first spouse is not
dead, etc., such a Protestant has enc
tered into an invalid marriage.
A man cannot marry another mans
wife, that is Gods law, not a Church
regulation -. If such a fact is proved
true the Church could so state and
allow such a person to marry 'tagain"

by Fir. Edward F. HeaIey

@. If one Internationally forgets to
confess a mortal sin, Is that sin for
given along with the others or is it a
bad confession?
A. The confession of sins is neces-
sary for the Sacrament of Penance
but the essential thing is sorrow-
and the power Of Christ operating
through the priest.
If you are sorry for all mortal sins
and intend to avoid them, they are all
forgiven, even If you forget one. 1t is
necessary, however, to confess it in
the next confession when land if you
remember it. You can make a bad con-
fession only by deliberately keeping
back a mortal sin.
All the Church expects is that you
be honest with yourself and with God.
If some Catholics, as a recent article
suggests, keep back sins Of birth con-
troll (c~ontraception) with some idea
that they are self-absolved of any
guilt, they are making bad confess
SionS.
Not getting the exact number or
forgetfulness Especially when it has
been a long time between confessions)
is not an obstacle to Gods forgiving
grace.

disappointed both.
He refused to join Luther in his
break with the Church and would not
take part in the furious polemics Cath
olics waged against Luther. This con-
troversy launched by the Reforma-
ton pursued Erasmus even after his
death. In a brilliant historical survey,
Father Dolan discusses the views of
the scholars who in his opinion have
presented an unbalanced interpreta-
ton of the life and work of Erasmus,
because they had been colored by
religious prejudices.
ONLY WITHIN present years has
a more objective portrait of the man
emerged, and the translator's own
appraisal may well play an important
part in that picture.
Erasmus had a clear view of the
definition of apostasy, and remained
far removed from it. His crusade was
waged against worldliness among the
the clergy and laity; an exaggerated
ritualism in worship; hair-splitting
and rationalism in theology; senti-
mentalism and superstition in pop
ular piety-all perennial enemies of
true religion.
The ammunition of. his crusade

and the Fathers, devotion to Christ
as the center of Christian piety, a
