DOCTORS HERE USE NEW PLAN 10 EASE BURNS
Maintenance of Body’s Fluid |
Balance Is Key to Treatment.
Three Indianapolis doctors have announced what they claim is a new and more successful treatment Of severe burns, based on an entirely new coneeption of what happens to tissue and blood of burned persons. The physicians are Dr. H, M.
Trusler, Dr. H. L. Eghert and Dr. H. S. Williams, of the Indiana University Medical Center staff, They reported that the successful treatment of burn shock depends! on other local treatment.
Oppose Tanic Acid Theory
“There is.no Treason to believe, they reporied, “that the local application of tanic acid or any othw agent to the burned area is effective in preventing burn shock or in protecting the fluid balance of the body.” This belief, they termed a fallacy. Instead, the doctors said that re-| peated blood and blood plasma transfusions, and the maintenance of the | fluid balance of the body was the proper treatment. { The widely held theory "that burned persons should be given simple fluid orally, even if they had to be forced, was also termed & fallacy by the reporting doctors. The tanic acid theory has assumed | that the burned flesh breaks down into poisonous split proteins and | that these were absorbed into the circulation. The tanic acid was ap- | plied to “fix” these poisons. |
Rely Upon Transfusions
The doctors explained their theory this way: “If the burn involved sufficient number of capillaries, the patient | cies of shock due tc loss of blood fluid so rapid that nothing can be done to replace it. “Our studies indicate that repeat- | ed transfusions of blood offer the only safe means of maintaining the | blood chemical balance in the shock | state. “There is also an indication that | blood plasma alone should be given | as the red blood cells become ex- | cessive in number. When the blood | fluid balance is safeguarded in this manner, other fluids may be given] in moderate amounts.”
Girl Treated Here
The new theory dis that the burned | capillaries dilate and cause the cir- | culation of the blood to stagnate, | and the blood plasma to escape In tissue spaces. | The report says that & 15-year- | old Indianapolis girl, severely | burned when a match ignited her! evening dress, was treated by this] new method and survived, although | & large area of her skin was burned. |
ADVISE AGAINST CUT IN RELIEF TO WORTHY
|
A resolution asking Center Townchip Trustee Henry Mueller not to reduce relief costs through denial of aid to the worthy unemployed was made public today by the direct relief grievarice committee of the Workers Alliance, Local G-440, | The Tresolution stated that although elimination of unnecessary costs and prevention of relief fund thefts are to be commended, the move should not go so far as to reduce costs “at the expense of denying worthy relief clients whose families are in need because of un-, employment.’ The group alse asked the new trustee his attitude on the issuance of bonds “to prevent hunger and suffering” and, ‘perhaps, to prevent | & crisis in relief such as that Which exists today in Cleveland.” The committee includes Arthur Scott, Ronald Hillman and Jake Loganofski.
GIRL PUPIL LIKES MACHINE SHOP DIRT
CLEVELAND, 'O., Dec. 15 (U. P.). «Celia Varady, 17, takes greasy hands and broken fingernails with & | grin—for she is enrolled in the machine shop class in suburban Cleve- | land high school. | “It's a lot of fun, just being down | here and seeing what goes on,” she said, turning down a casting on & large metal lathe. “1 like running a lathe, but filing is not so wonderful—not that I don't like that too, but TI don't have the strength for it.” Celia said she likes to get her hands dirty. “And 1 certainly do down here,” ghe said. “I break so many nails now that I have given up using nail polish.”
SHIPPING RECORDS SET ON GREAT LAKES
CLEVELAND, O., Dec. 15 (U.P). | «Warm weather ana good business] combined this fall to set new ship- | ping records on the Great Lakes. Iron ore shipments from the upper Jakes amounted to 5,440,062 tons in November, third highest ore movement for the month in lake history. More tonnage was afloat Dec. 1 than at any time in the past.

VERY move Stalin has made since last August, when the world was shocked by news of the Russian-German non-aggression pact, has been directed against Germany
itself. Stalin is using Germany's against her in the future. In September, 1938, wh Czechoslovakia, Russia was th pean nations in demanding that she be stopped. Ever since the appearance of Hitler as dictator it has been known his wuitimate dream was the conquest of access to the Russian Ukraine. This was not a matter of speculation, because he had avowed his intentions many times. Also he wanted the oil of Ru-
mania. The seizure of Czechoslovakia was viewed merely as a preJude to this. The conquest of Danzig and the Polish Corridor were sentimental more than anything else. The real
| objective was | the
Ukraine and Rumania. Russia Trecoghized Germany as its only real enemy in Europe. Therefore Hitler's announcement of his pact with Russia was a stunning surprise. What followed had all the look of an alliance between Stalin and the man who had sworn to be the one bulwark against the flood | of communism in Europe. When Stalin nlarched into Poland after | Hitler's invasion the whole thing | had the appearance of a great | league between the two dictators. Certainly this was the obvious, surface meaning of these events.

The 38th National Guard Division | §
staff made final preparations today | to launch a land and air “attack” | on the “Black forces” which have | {taken up defense positions north of Fall Creek at Ft. Harrison. “Secret” orders for the offensive are expected to be received early] Sunday and the “attack” will end | the seven days of field training for | Hoosier Guardsmen. For several weeks, staff has been preparing for Sunday's “push.” When the War Department two months ago ordered the emergency maneuvers for the purpose of making the citizen-sol- | diers fit for possible active duty, the division ‘staff sat down and on paper began a home-made “war.”

Assume ‘State of War’
| After assuming a “state of war” |between the Blues and the Blacks, [the division staff outlined and carried out mobilization, and then] | placed the division's infantry and | artillery units in positions at Ft. | | Harrison. The division’s 6000 members from | Indiana, of course, did not actually take ap positions at the Army post, | but for convenience, were spread | ot - encampments throughout the tate. | But the staff cared little about | this, they worked their problem from maps, and the troops were in place at Ft. Harrison on those maps. | Shortly after the Division was set for attack, the staff problem suddenly changed to assume the Division had been on the front for some time, Consequently an order removing {them South towards Indianapolis for a “rest” was carried out and] the “37th Division” replaced the worn out fighters on the “front.” As suddenly, last week, the 38th! guardsmen relieved the th | Division. The tactical plan for attack was worked out. The forward eschelon, the staff headquarters, was set up near the Post Road and Road 67. The rear eschelon was established at the Manufacturer's | Building State Fair Grounds. Theoretically the city of Indian- | apolis was in the theater of the! battle operations and had been | subjected to terrific bombing attacks. | Even part of the Union Station has been blown away, leaving, however, | sufficient train communications to serve the fighting Blue forces. Land parties and observation
planes from the Division air squad- |
ron carried out reconnaissance work on the front line last week, Fall Creek, the dividing line between the opposing forces, was surveved, be-| cause the Blues will attempt to cross it to carry out the attack.
On paper, the Blues and the | Blacks are of approximate equal | strength so it ‘should be a tough “battle.” When the attack order is promulgated, the staff will go into action, issue orders for movements, inquire about gas attacks and go through every operation they would be forced to perform in time of actual warfare, On hand for Sunday's “offensive” at Ft. Harrison will be the entire 150th Field Artillery with its cannon and the division special troops | which serves the busy stafl. By Sunday night, the “war” must come tO an end, no matter who the reports say may be stranded in the | (middle of Fall Creek or what mis-| sions have been left undone. Who won makes little difference. The {purpose of the field maneuvers will [have been accomplished, to make | Indiana's contingent of Uncle Sam's | Army, better prepared to face a real {enemy should that unfortunate | necessity ever present itself,
