Rep. James M. Mead (D. N. Y.) ofered a. conflicting measure which would increase the powers of the ostoffice Department over air mail atters. Congressional leaders have asked the President to make a choice between the measures. The Chief Executive still is urging action at this session on the Government reorganization program. Congressional authorities believe a part of the plan that is least controversial may be brought forward soon, but they doubt that the entire project will be approved before adjournment.

in this session of Congress as to need no argument. Congress is in truth a rubber stamp. | The entire judiciary, if reorganized as proposed, will have surrendered much of its indeperidence of the executive in controversies in which checks on the power of the latter are involved.
Deprive States of Power
The proposed wages-and-hours-legislation, if enacted in its present form, and the Social Security laws, deprice the states of independent power to regulate social matters within their -own borders, just as the proposed farm legislation will deprive them of independent power to regulate agricultural matters. All of these measures, ceupled with th proposal to put: the independent commissions directly under the executive, and to the extent that they deprive the states of power, pass that. power to the President. The new proposals to divide the United States into .seven regional provinces for the purposes of “planning” when considered with all the measures discussed above, tend further toward the twilight of the states because the states do have some decentralized indepndent regional political power, but these seven economic provinces will have none. They are under Federal control.
“Suggest Unspoken Design”
If and when all these various proposals come to a head, the combined result will be a transfer of a very large part of the former Governmental power of the states. the Congress, the judiciary, and all independent quasi-judicial commissions—not to a Federal Government but to a Federal governor. These proposed changes came one by one, each from circumstances seemingly particular to its own origin, but when you look at all of them spread out upon the drawingboard, they fit each other so perfectly as to suggest a deliberate underlying, but unspoken design. Much of this was necessary by reason of stultification of liberal legislation by too many ‘checks and balances.” This writer would not be much afraid of such a system with Roosevelt President. But I do not believe this was his design and— with him gone—I shudder to think of such a system in the hands of the Machiavellis whose design it was— or their choice of his successor.

By WILLIAM CRABB
A little boy brought his pet puppy | ic
to the Engine House. “He’s sick. I have some medicine for him but he won’t take it,” the lad explained.
So three obliging firemen be-ame-
amateur veterinarians and began to “doctor” the dog. Suddenly the pup became a snarling, snapping animal and the three benefactors were bitten. The dog died soon afterwards. -At this point, the City's well- developed system of preventing rabies, the disease capable of causing what physicians describe as “the most horrible death of all,” began to function.
The injured firemen were given
preliminary treatment at City Hospital. A police officer took the dead animal's body to Dr. C.F. Stout, City veterinarian, who removed its head. Hunt Others Bitten | Meanwhile, an investigation was made to determine who had handled the 'dog or might have been bitten by it at any time. These persons were ordered to be on hand until further notice. Dr. Stout ‘turned the head over to the: State Health Board, which maintains a special laboratory for determining if dogs are rabid. More than a dozen persons anx=iously awaited the Board's report. The tests showed negative indicating the dog was not rabid.
Goat Had Rabies
But less fortunate was the family living on the outskirts of Indianapolis whose pet goat recently attacked one of the children. The goat had been bitten by a stray dog. Deputy sheriffs were called and the goat was killed. The State's tests this time showed positive, and members of the family, who had relied on the goat for its milk supply, were forced to take Pasteur treatments daily for two weeks. More than 600 persons were bitten by dogs in Indianapolis last year. The City Hospital rabies clin-
EDITOR'S CONTEMPT CITATION IS VOIDED
Akron Paper’s Executive Defeats News Ban.
Times |Special AKRON, June 7—A contempt-of-court citation and a $50 fine imposed by Common Pleas Judge Walter B. Wanamaker on Walter Morrow, editor of the Akron Times-Press, have been dismissed by the Ninth District Court of Appeals. The three appellate judges were unanimous. Mr. Morrow defied an order of Judge Wanamaker banning publication of names of Grand Jury members, names of witnesses summoned and the cases under consideration. The editor told reporters to use the Grand Jury information, ignoring the order. The Court of Appeals referred to the order as “censorship” and said it “prohibited the exercise of rights freely exercised by individuals and newspapers, without question for
| generations, rights supposed to be
protected by the Constitution and law of the land.” Judge Wanamaker announced he would ask the County Prosecutor to carry the case to the Ohio Supreme Court. The Appellate Court decision pointed out that the facts published by Mr. Morrow were matters of record on file in a public office where anybody has access to them. “In said publicatiorf there was no abuse or ridicule of the court,” it said, “or of the grand jurors or witnesses, or of anyone connected with the court, or of anyone whatsoever; there was nothing in said publications, except the information as to facts already public, which in the slightest degree could possibly hinder, obstruct, delay or influence the court or the grand jurors in the exercise of their proper functions, or which in any maner cast a reflection upon anyone.”
administered 5450 treatments to 425 of them. A number of others re treated by private physicians.
_ Clinic Opens at 9
The City Hospital clinic is open daily at 9 a. m. Ten to 12 patients are on the treatment list at all times, according to attendants. Only a small per cent of the dogs proved to be rabid, but the seriousness of the disease compelled authorities to recommend that treatments begin at once rather than wait until the 10-day period, during which the anifhals are placed under observation, has expired. The average number of treatments varies with the location of the dog bite, City Hospital rabiologists explained. Rabies, contrary to popular belief, travels over the nervous system rather than through the blood. A bite on the eye-lid or on the cheek, therefore, is more dangerous than one on the leg or arm. Quicker attention is required and more treatments are necessary. Physicians point out that rabies can be prevented but is incurable. The period between the time the person is bitten and the moment the disease reaches the brain is known as “incubation. ” Rabies must be halted d fing this period. The average cost of a series of 14 to 21 Pasteur treatments is $15. The City Hospital rabies clinic gave approximately $5000 worth of medical attention to indigent persons last year. The have funds to provide free treatments to persons able to pay for
‘them, attaches said.
Puppy Feared Most
A puppy isaconsidered the most dangerous typé of rabid dog, according to Dr. Stout. He is playful one day. He runs around chasing his tail and nipping the fingers of children and grownups. They put their hands into his mouth and wrestle his jaws. He is a “cute little trick.”
The next day he may come in
contact with a stray dog. Rabies begins to act. He behaves the same as on the previous day. He runs about aimlessly and his bites, hampered by undeveloped teeth, do not seem vicious. As a result, the whole family may have. been exposed: The dog may run away and die, leaving his owners unaware of his condition.
Stray Dog Dangerous
The next most dangerous offender is the stray.dog, Dr. Stout said. He approaches. a person, bites quickly and then runs on seeking another victim. = Meanwhile, the injured person, not knowing whether or not
the dog was rabid, must be sub-
jected to treatments or risk death.
Rabies is unlike many other dis--
eases in that there are no “carriers.” An afflicted animal will die sooner or later. Dr. Stout said a man was leading his dog one evening when a stray dog bit it. He penned the pet up for a while but it did not appear to be diseased. Ten months later, however, the animal became rabid and died.
Rabid Dogs Increase
Under ordinary circumstances, a rabid dog will die within 10 days or two weeks, according to Dr. Stout. Rabies infection may be spread through contact of saliva from a diseased animal on a slight scratch or skin abrasion as well as through an actual bite. Authorities say the number of rabid dogs has increased this year. Two hundred seventy persons have been bitten since Jan. 1. Impounding of stray animals and greater care in handling of pets is said by physicians and veterinarians to be the only remedy for this increasingly serious situation.

Jaundice Is Temporary
Barrier to Progress of Chronic Arthritis, Claim
No New Method of Treatment Ready Now, But Doctor Foresees Time When Ravages of Deforming Disease Will Be Controllable.
(Continued from Page One)
to three years. Then their symtoms came back, sometimes as bad as before, but often in a much milder form.
New Type of Control
Hearing the story of these fortyfour patients, and examining their joints and muscles during and after the jaundice, Dr. Hench became certain that nature was demonstrating a special brand of rheumatism-con-trol, not her usual rather lazy way of stopping the disease after weeks or months of discomfort. The remissions which jaundice precipitated came on quite rapidly, usually within the first three days after the jaundice became definitely visible. As one person expressed it, “When the jaundice came in the front door, the rheumatism went out the back door.” Among those who have experienced ‘this phenomenon all of the patients with muscular rheumatism and two-thirds of those with chronic deforming—or as physicians call it, chronic infections, atrophic —arthritis were completely, if temporarily relieved of their symptoms. One-third of the arthritic patients were notably but not completely re-| lieved. Apparently no one type of
jaundice is responsible tor this ef-|
fect, according to Dr. Hench. The phenomenon has resulted from jaundice due to a variety of causes but a “touch of jaundice” will not produce the beneficial efiect, and a fairly intense jaundice is required. The remissions in symptoms, or “vavations from rheumatism” sometimes lasted like ordinary vacations —just a few days to three weeks, and then the rheumatism went back td work again on its victim. Often, however, the rheumatism lasted two or three, even four months and a few very lucky patients were free of their symptoms for two to three years. It is no wonder then that many of these patients were “glad of the trade” as one expressed it, preferring a spell of jaundice. fo their rheumatism. Although there was no set rule and many variations apparent, roughly the remissions in rheumatic symptoms lasted : about twice as long as the jaundice.
Some Types Unrelated
Jaundice, does. not, however, relieve all types of pain nor does it relieve the pain of all types of joint and muscle diseases. Several patients with neuritis, with gouty rheumatism, or with rheumatism of other types were observed to have just. as much pain when they developed a coincidental jaundice as they had prior to the jaundice. The phenomenon seems therefore to be somewhat specific, for chronic .deforming arthritis and for muscular rheumatism.
‘Because the rheumatic symptoms
usually recurred, Dr. Hench warned.
that jaundice must be looked upon as providing not a “cure” hut a temporary control of the disease. But the fact that nature actually does possess a method for a rapid satisfactory control affords most encouraging and important news. Nature’s formula is so far her secret. Probably some chemical reaction that takes place during jaundice provides nature's accidental antidote for rheumatism. Several physicians are now trying to discover what the effective agent is and how it acts. : Investigations are being carried out by Dr. Hench and his associates to isolate the agent, so it may some day be available in the treatment of these maladies. At the meeting
Dr. Hench reported his own investigations on the use of various constituents of bile, the use of transfusions of highly jaundiced blood, and the production of artificial jaundice.
Active Agent Unknown It is possible that the bilirubin,
or coloring pigments of bile, or that |’
the bile salts are responsible for the phenomenon. However, certain data suggested that not these, but other
substances were responsible, at least in part. Although he has not yet been able to reproduce the phenomenon at will, Dr. Hench suggested that sometime in the near future the victims of chronic rheumatism may be more anxious to develop a “pilious look” than a fashionable coat of tan. He concluded: “The development of a safe method of producing a_ harmless jaundice is needed for the further solution of the problem, but when it is obtained it should be regarded not as an end in itself but as a means to an end. Even when ‘artificial jaundice’ is successfully accomplished it should at best be considered a crude and temporary form of ‘treatment, but it will take us one more step— an | important step—on the way to the more refined treatment of the future.” Discussing the same problem Dr. ‘Harry E. Thompson of Tucson, Ariz, reported that he had: noted the phenomenon described by Dr. Hench. Investigating various methods to reproduce it he found that by injecting certain constituents of bile he was able to produce jaundice in a dozen rheumatic patients, each of whom noted relief from symptoms, in some cases for only a few days, in other cases for several weeks. If this method can be repeated successfully it will permit physicians to study the phenomenon much more closely and perhaps help them'to isolate the responsible agent and utilize it for the future Yreatmeni of chronic arthritis.

Five Democratic Factions May Complicate City, County Fight.
(Continued from Page One)
Joseph Markey and Joseph Wile liams. : Besides the nine judgeships and the mayoralty, other major po= litical goals include sheriff, prose= cutor, treasurer, clerk, auditor and recorder offices.
Five Active Factions
The five active Democratic face tions include followers of E. Kirk McKinney, defeated for the guber natorial nomination; a group head= ed by Judges Baker and Cox; the City Hall faction; a group recognize ing Sheriff Ray as its leader; and an independent faction in the Court, House friendly to State House leaders. Three or four of these factions, however, may. “bury the hatchet” for a common cause in last-minute campaign deals, observers predict. Forces already have begun to lineup for the Democratic county chairmanship fight with Walter C. Boetcher expected to retire from that post to run for county trease urer. Henry Goett, deputy prosecutor in charge of the grand jury has been mentioned as a possible com promise candidate for the chaire manship. Mr. Goett also was mene tioned several months ago as a possible candidate for Criminal Court "judge.
Free-for-All Matches
The sheriff and prosecutor races at’ this time seem destined as freee for-all matches with Mr. Ray ange ling for the mayoralty and Prosee cutor- Herbert | M. Spencer mene tioned as a possible candidate for one of the judgeships. Among Democrats mentioned as possible candidates for sheriff are Hugh (Wally) Middlesworth, City Recreational Director, as the City Hall candidate, and Henry Mueller, Chief Deputy Sheriff. Possible Democratic candidates in the prosecutor lineup include Oscar Hagemeier, Chief Deputy Prosecutor; James A. Watson, ane other deputy; and David M. Lewis, Election Commissioner. Charles Ettinger, Chief Deputy County Clerk, already has started his campaign to succeed County, Clerk Glenn Ralston. Opposing Mr, Ettinger in the race for the Democratic nomination is expected to be Martin Walpole, of the Home Owne ers Loan Corp.
May Be State Candidate
Mr. Ralston has been mentioned by some Democrats as a possible candidate for secretary of state but he declined to discuss the report. Hannah Noone, Center Township trustee, is reported a potential cane .didate for county recorder to SUCe ceed Ira Haymaker. ; Al Losche, City Purchasing | Agent, and F. W. Beimer, Chief Deputy Auditor, have been named in the possible Democratic lineup for auditor to succeed Charles Grossart, .who will complete his second term next year. No Republicans have been mentioned for county offices as yet. Only one office in the entire County and City governments is not up for -election next year—that of John Newhouse, County Commise sioner, whos2 term extends to 1940, Dow Vorhies and Clarence Wheate ley. other Commissioners, are exe
