Symposium On
Ulcers Announced

A full day medical symposium
on peptic ulcer disease will be
held at Wilmington's Academy of
Medicine Building on Saturday,
March 9 by the Medical Society
Of Delaware. Lederle Laborator-
les, division of the American
Cyanamid Company, will serve as
co-sponsor. Speakers from five
states will highlight the program.
DR.. Stephen L. Wagensteen, a
research Fellow of the United
States Public Health Service at
Presbyterian Hospital, New
York, will open the meeting with a
discussion of Hypothermia In
Gastric Bleeding. This technique,
which involves cooling and some
times freezing the area sur
rounding an ulcer is still rela-
lively new, but has proved ef-
fective in controlling some types
Of ulcer.
The medical management OF
peptic ulcer will be discussed
by DR.. Edward C. Raffensperger
Assistant Professor of Medicine
at the University of Pennsylvania
School Of Medicine. He will re-
view the physical mechanisms
that cause ulcers, and discuss a
medical program designed to
control these factors.
The Zollinger Ellison Syn
drome will be discussed by one
Of its original researchers, DR..
Edwin H. Ellison, Professor and
Chairman of the Division of Sur
gerry at Marquette University
School of Medicine, Milwaukee.
This syndrome, which involves
tumors of the pancreas In COM
bination with ulcers, will be dis
cussed In terms of its symp-
toms, diagnosis and treatment.
Following luncheon, DR.. Wal
ter R. Thayer, Jr., of Yale Uni
verstty School of Medicine will
discuss peptic ulcers In chill
dren. Because ulcers In chill
dren frequently do not present
the same symptoms that they do
in adults, physicians are begin
ming to believe that ulcers in
children have been more frequent
than had been thought. DR.. Thayer
will talk about the special prob
lens of diagnosis and treatment
that arise when the patient is a
child.
The general relationship be-
tween stress and ulcers will be
discussed by DR.. Richard E.
Gordon, Jr., Director of Men
tai Health In the Research Unit
of the Englewood Hospital, New
Jersey. He will explain the psy-
Geological mechanisms that con-
tribute to ulcers, and discuss
their implications in the medical
management of the problem.
The meeting will be opened
by DR.. Willard F. Preston, Prest-
dent of the Medical Society Of
Delaware. DR.. l. Lewis Chip
man, Jr. of Wilmington Will in
troduce the morning speakers,
and Dr.. Lemuel c. MCGEE will
chair the afternoon session. DR.,
Lonard P. Lang, Chairman ofthe
Medical Society of Delaware's
Committee on Education, which
the meeting, will pre-
side at a luncheon.

Iinsecticide.
DR.. Wayland J. Hayes, Jr., Of
the U. S. Public Health Service
(PHS), quoted in the article, said
lit is important to realize that
the alarm of some persons that
insecticides cause human and
animal diseases is not shared by
scientists who have studied in
IsecticideS, nor by the vast
majority of physicians.
"During the years of investiga-
Ition, It has been impossible to
confirm the allegation that
insecticides, when properly used,
are the cause Of any disease
either of man or animals" he
said.
The article cited a study by
the PHS Communicable Disease
Center, Savannah, Ga, in which
volunteer group Of men in a
federal prison consumed daily
during an 18-month period an
amount ofDDT three times great
er than the average person would
consume in three full meals.
There were no Ill effects from
the DDT consumed, the article
said.
IN the words Of DR.. David E.
Price, assistant surgeon general
Of the PHS, also quoted in the
magazine:
"PesticideS are a great boon
to mankind. We use them In and
around our homes; they are used
on farms, industry, and they are
used in many public health pro-
grams to prevent the spread Of
disease. You yourself can use
pesticides with complete safety,
if you follow the directions that
come with them."

INTRIGUING as this con-

Ter in relation to the real

1t is quite safe to say, in

question of what changes in

that the kind of examina-
ton now being given by

The Renewal
Controversy
BY ROBERT J. LEWIS

ITO UNDER STAND the
controversy over changes
proposed in the administra-
ton Of Washington's urban
renewal, 1t is necessary to
know that three agencies of
Government are involved,
and that two are somewhat
restive under the powers as
signed by Congress to the
others.
The District government
itself is UNDERSTANDABLE in
clined to feel that, since 1t
Is ultimately held most re-
sponsible for the character
Of the program, 1t should
have a clear line Of author
ity to plan what is to be
tune and the power to carry
1t out.
Therefore, it appears the
District government wants
direct control over the re-
newal agency itself, includ-
ing authority to make plans
and control the work that is
done.
This objective would COL
,hde with two agencies: RIA,
whose board Of directors
would be abolished, and the
National Capital Planning
Commission, which would
lose the power it now has to
choose areas for redevelop-
ment and to approve or dis
approve plans for renewing
such areas.
Evening star., 1963-05-05

IN THE CASE OF RIA, it
has, at present, an under
standable feeling that-since
1t must administer redevel-
.opment areas after plans
have been approved - the
ultimate power over redevel-
opment plans should be re-
moved from the National
Capital Planning Commits
sion in the interests Of more
direct administration.
Therefore, while RIA OBJ
iectS to the proposal that its
board be abolished, 1t does
not object to stripping pow
ers from the planning COM
mission.
OF the three agencies con-
Cerned, the planning COM
mission appears to be most
satisfied with the status quo
as a means of performing
duties assigned it by Con-
gress to plan "the appro-
pirate and orderly develop
ment of the National Capt.
tai. :"
In the past, and at pres
ent, it has taken no position
in regard to administrative
changes except to make plain
it is opposed to any curtail-
lnent Of its powers to exert
the national interest on the
physical development and
redevelopment of Washing
ton.

Overhaul
OfFood Plan
BY BETTY JAMES
Star staff Writer

Plans for the overhaul of the
Districts surplus food program,
which has been under investi-
cation after charges Of abuses,
are virtually complete.
The overhaul is expected to
include a change in the way
eligibility to receive food is
certified. and to provide fol
delivery by private drivers
operating under some controls
from the Welfare Department
The surplus food program it.
self would be replaced even
tually by the food stamp plan
if the city gets an okay from
the United States Agriculture
Department to take part in
that program for providing
food for the needy.
Meanwhile, new rules would
try to guarantee against future
abuses in surplus food distribu-
ton.
Both relief recipients and
self-supporting persons whose
income is at relief levels may
receive surplus food provided
by the Agriculture Department
and distributed by the Welfare
Department.
Present System
At present. eligibility oi
those not on relief is certified
by the surplus food division
while those approved by the
public assistance division fol
relief automatically get the
food If they have cooking
facilities.
The new plan would give the
public assistance division re-
sponsibility for certifying every
one.
Responsibility for the ware.
house, and for packaging anc
distribution, would be placed
under welfare's controller, Al
vim r. Rosin.
Details Of the plan will bC

in the office Of Commissioner
John B. Duncan, who is ir
charge Of welfare matters ir
