Hundreds of people write to ask if there is a cure for Bright's disease of the kid neys and I have to say that today we physicians do not use that name it is used, I think, almost entire ly by laymen who includj under that term all of forms of kidney C . 1 AlvarM the many disease. rmes-lncysuthe qfo There are, I fear, many doc tors who, when the labora tory girl reports some albu min in a person s urine, mane a diagnosis of kidney disease. Oftentimes, if the doctor were to examine the urine the next morning, before the patient gets up out of bed, he would find no albumin. La ter, if he made another ex amination after the man had walked to work, he would find it. Then he could know that the man had a "postural" al buminuria, not worth worry ing about. In other cases he might find with the "blood creatinine" and "blood urea" and "non-protein nitrogen' tests that the man's kidneys were doing an adequate job. lie might note that the man. who had come In perhaps for an insurance examination, was never ill, and yet he had a little albumin in his urine. A thousand times In these cases it would never occur to me to worry the man about his little "albuminuria." I would have much preferred not to say anything about it, but always I have had to face the possibility mat in a tew urine weeks or months he would have his urine checked again, and this time an alarmist might scare him badly. I like to protect such a man from being frightened later by a pessimist. Left by Early Illneu Often in these cases I get a history of scarlet fever or an acute kidney disease in childhood, and evidently what I saw in my patient of 45 was the leakage of a little albumin through the old scar left in the kidney by that early illness. In many ta.-es, the person who has a ten dency to high blood pressure will leak a little albumin from the blood into the urine. The point I want to insist on is that the wise physician, when told that his apparent ly healthy patient has albu min in his urine, does not got excited, and docs not immedi ately diagnose "Bright's dis ease." He will do some think ing and some more observing. 1 imagine that a hundred times during my Mayo Clinic days I have saved an essen tially healthy man from being branded as having serious kidney disease by finding that his "albuminuria" was transient and due to fatigue. 1 did what not enough young physicians think to do - I ordered two repeat tests of the man's urine, and they were perfectly normal. The one sample of urine that had contained albumin had been passed early in the morning after the man's arrival al the clinic. When I naked. "Were you very tired that morning'.'" the man said, "Doctor, I seldom have been so all in. In order to be here early that morning, as you told me to be, the day before I drove some 500 miles. Then, that night, I was so tense I could not sleep." There, evidently, was the rea son for the man's having al bumin In his first sample of study of the inside of the kid neys made after the injection of a certain dye. Occasional ly, in the case of an aging man, an artery expert will x ray the arteries to the kid neys to see if one of them is so badly narrowed that the kidney is suffering from lack of blood, and is producing a high blood pressure. ." v 1' f JULY 22nd ISSUE Family weekly "1 low Much Is a House wife Worth" bv Krlwarrl B.

Quotas on Imports of Canadian Lumber Getting Cool Response From White House, Reports Say By A. ROBERT SMITH Mail Tribunt Washington Correspondent Washington -(Spccial)-The Kennedy Administration re portedly has rejected the idea of slapping a quota on lum ber i m p orts from Canada which have created d i s tress in the North west lumber indus t r y. "The White H o use smiu isn t even con sidcring a quota." an inform ed source reported. The administration's policy of expanding foreign trade with reduced tariff barriers, plus concern for the precari ous state of the Canadian fi nancial situation, are appar ent reasons for the anti-quota attitude. Thus far the administration has been silent on what to do about this cause of economic distress to a major domestic industry, except for the prom ises of Agriculture Secretary Orville Freeman to see that the Forest Service improves its effectiveness in marketing timber. He noted a few days ago that more national forest timber was sold between April 1 and June 30 than in any quarter in history. "The increase in sales dur ing the last three months is largely the result of great ef fort on the part of the Forest Service to help national for est timber purchasers and counteract the depressed con ditions' of the industry," Free man said. Allowable Cuts Reviewed Bui he acknowledged (hat the Northwest mills "need more timber than is available for sale." He said allowable cuts are being reviewed and "the maximum justifiable tim ber volume will be offered for sale on these national for ests where timber supply-demand relationships are criti cal." Beyond congressional de mands for changes in Forest Service timber management, most Northwest members of Congress have joined in sup porting the idea of an import quota that would limit Cana dian producers to a small por tion of the American market. The National Lumber Manu facturers association, which first advanced this idea be fore the House Ways and McHns committee, suggested 10 per cent. Canada last year obtained about 14 per cent of the market. The administration last month created a so-called task force to study the problem. Last week it presented mem bers of Congress with a tenta tive report which Northwest lawmakers felt was so inade quate that they rejected it. Last week Northwest Demo cratic senators met in the offices of Sen. Warren G. Magnuson (D-Wash.) to dis cuss future strategy in deal ing with the whole matter. One thing discussed was the possibility of meeting with President Kennedy in the near future to enlist his sup port for more direct action. But the administration's chil ly attitude toward an import quota has given some senators apprehension about the politi cal risk of marching down to the White House and coming back empty handed. Testimony Scheduled Mean while, Magnuson's committee, which held field hearings in Olympia, Portland and Lewiston, as well as three days of hearings here last month, has scheduled fur ther testimony on maritime shipping bills affecting lum ber. In the earlier hearings this issue was all but brushed aside by Magnuson, who has wanted to avoid arousing mar itime interests over the pro posals to repeal or change the Jones act the 1920 statute which still requires domestic green lumber to be shipped in American ships, thereby placing U. S. mills at a dis- McNamara Reveals Dollar Drain Cut advantage with Canadian mills which use cheaper for eign ships. Sen. Maurine Neuberger ID Ore.), sponsor of the bill to open the inlcr-coastal trade to foreign ships, is suddenly more optimistic about getting some action. The Washington Post, the capital's largest newspaper, last week edito rially advocated repealing the Jones act to help the softwood lumber industry. Also before the Magnuson committee is his own bill to offer a subsidy to U. S. mer chant ship operators who car ry lumber at reduced prices competitive with those avail able to Canadian mills which use foreign ships. View Not Known The resistance of the ad ministration to import quotas apparently has forced Magnu son to attempt to gain approv al of this subsidy bill. The administration's view of this measure is not known. But if it reaches the Senate floor, Mrs. Neuberger wjll likely try to attach her own bill as an amendment. In any event, after s i x months of congressional hear ings, conferences with gov ernment officials and closed door strategy talks, no one in Washington seems to have dis covered a painless way to help the Northwest lumber indus try. But the fast approaching congressional elections will stimulate the lawmakers to greater efforts, and possibly even painful ways, to help their region's No. 1 industrial payroll. Washington (Ull pefense Secretary Robert S. McNa mara has announced a long range pian to cut almost in half the drain on U.S. dollars caused by servicemen and their dependents ove- eas. McNamara said a) a news conference Monday that the $900 million cut would be achieved by trimming mili tary purchases abroau, large ly in Europe, and by stimulat ing foreign purchases here. Study projects have been launched, he said, aimed at reducing U.S. support troops in Europe, eliminating some military headquarters over seas, cutting the U.S. share of payments for NATO joint fa cilities and expanding Ameri can credit sales abroad. Other possibilities being studied, McNamara said, in clude rotating small Army units abroad for short tours without their families, ex. panning purchase of U.S. goods in post exchanges over seas, reducing the number of foreign nations on ihe payroll and cutting construction out lavs 66 per cent by such means as shipping prefabri cated housing units overseas. on CONTINENTAL TRAILWAYS you are a PAMPERED Tu PASSENGER ijljj enjoying exclusive FIVESTAR LUXURY SERVICE HOSTESS ABOARD REFRESHMENTS REST ROOM OBSERVATION LOUNGE LOUNGE CHAIR SEATS SEATTLE SACRAMENTO SAN FRANCISCO FRESNO BAKERSFIELD IOS ANGELES SHIP PACKAGE EXPRESS Carefree CHARTER BUS Free VACATION PLANNING 5lh and Front Phone 773-1853 BEAUTIFY YOUR HOME WITH THE ALL NEW HORIZONTAL, VENTILATED ALUMINUM AWNINGS Designed for lasting beauty, comfort and protection, the attractively styled Imperial awning allows free circulation of air and maximum light reception.
