GOPHoldsNoHopeof Winning Control of Senate in Election Medford Tribune Editor'! note: This is the second in a ftriei of dis patches by UPI political writ ers previewing the Nov. 6 elections. It deals with the Senate elections, which fea ture many rugged contests. By RAYMOND LAHR Washington -HOT- The Sen ate offers the Democrats more comfort this year than any other area of political war fare. The voters will elect 39 members of the Senate Nov. 6, and Republicans have no hope of winning control of the chamber. Democrats now hold a 64 36 margin in the 100-member Senate. Republican leaders concede that they have no chance to gain the 15 needed to give them a majority. Even so, many rugged bat tles are being fought for in dividual seats. The 39 new or reelected senators will be chosen from 36 states 34 for regular six year terms, four for four-year unexpired terms and one for a two-year vacancy. Here is the Senattc election picture: R. D. To. Seats at Stake 18 21 39 Holdovers 18 43 61 Present Members 36 64 100 With 43 holdover members, the Democrats need to elect only seven this year to orga nize the Senate under tneir control. They have the tie breaking vote of Vice Presi dent Lyndon B. Johnson if they need it. Seven of the Senate seats to be filled are in normally safe southern Democratic States. Most of the Democra tic senators seeking reelection this year were strong enough to win six-year terms in the face of the Eisenhower land slide in the 1956 presidential election. The Democrats have nomi nated candidates for all 39 seats at stake. Attempting to enlarge their southern beach head, the GOP has candidates for all seats, except in Geor gia where Sen. Herman Tal madge is seeking reelection with no Republican opponent. Outside the South, GOP leaders are hopeful of gaining a few Senate seats, which would put them into a better position to bid for control of the Senate in 1964 or 1966. Among Democratic senators seeking reelection, the chief GOP targets are Sens. John A. Carrol (Colo), J. J. Hickey (Wyo.), Frank Church (Idaho), Joseph S.

Un fortunately, it is a disease which we phy ! sicians do not under stand well. We don't nw fnr enrp what the cause is. As yet, no germ or vi rus has been Alvarez found that produces this often severe form of diarrhea. I have seen cases in which It seemed obvious that the dis ease started with a nervous cause, like an unhappy mar riage or a business disaster. Some physicians, like Dr. Al bert Rowe of Oakland, Calif., are sure that in some cases the disease is started and kept going by an allergic sensitive ness to some food or foods. However it starts, it often ends up with a bad ulceration of the inner lining of the large bowel. The person gets a fe ver, he has a diarrhea with blood and pus in the move ments, and eventually his co lon shrinks up and becomes deformed and shortened. When til is happens, the pa tient had better be kept in bed a while, on a liberal diet, and one tasty enough so that he will eat it, and not leave it on his plate. He must have enough food and vitamins so that he can keep up his nour ishment. He will probably need bar biturates so that he can sleep at night, and he should have enough Copavin, or codeine, to quiet his bowel and give him rest. He may need extra fluids, and he may need some iron for his anemia. One au thority on this disease. Dr. .1. A. Bargen. of the Scott White Clinic, of Temple. Tex., gives an antibiotic, Azulfidine, which helps in some cases. Dr. Kirsner of the University of Chicago, Dr. Ingelfinger, of Boston, and other authorities get good results in some cases by giving cortisone-like drugs for a while. In a few cases, if no medical treatment helps, as a last re sort the colon can be removed surgically. Dr. Alvarez has a booklet which discusses Colitis more completely. If you would like a copy, send 25 cents and a stamped, self-addressed enve lope with your request to Dr. Walter C. Alvarez, Dept. MMT. The Register and Trib une Syndicate. Box 957, Des Moines 4. Iowa. As the doctors say, there is a danger in taking the drug, because while crazed by it, the person might commit sui cide, or he might get a psy chotic reaction more severe and proionged than he want ed, or he might develop some anti-social behavior. Also, the visual and mental distortions caused by the drug can pro duce a devastating experience. So far, addiction to the drug has not been observed, but it is a possibility with these peo ple who are always trying out new stimulants, narcotics, sed atives, and drugs which pro duce hallucinations. Prise-Fighting Dangerous I recently read that among sports, the most dangerous is football; boxing Is seventh on the list. But every time a young fighter dies shortly aft er a fight, we physicians are disturbed, and wonder if some thing cannot be done to save these lads. One good thing would be to have a physician present at all bouts with au thority to stop the fight if he sees that one of the boxers is taking a terrible and need less beating about his head. What Causes Gas? Letters come from women who say they have a child who passes large quantities of foul gas, and they wonder why. The local doctors have not been able to find the cause, and they haven't been able to find any medicine that will help. In many of these cases the mother can easily find the cause. She might get my book let on food allergy and there she will see that for a few days she ought to give the child absolutely nothing but lamb (broiled, roasted, or fried in butter, without pepper), rice cooked in water, canned pears, and oatmeal with but ter and sugar on it for break fast. No drinks or medicine of any kind should be taken. Often, on this diet, which is non-allergic to most people, the gas disappears. Then the mother can start adding a food each day. keep ing a record to see which are causing the trouble. I have seen many a person cured by this techic. Making 200 skin tests commonly doesn't work well. Skin tests are of so little value for finding disturbing foods that, long ago at the Mayo Clinic, the allergists quit using them for this purpose. Skin tests are of much more value when it comes to trying to find the pollens or dusts or molds which are causing hay fever or asthma. Ernest Gruening (Alaska) and Edward V. Long (Mo.). Would Please Most Republicans would be most pleased by victories in Massa chusetts and Oregon, where their candidates are under dogs. In Massachusetts, Edward M. (Ted) Kennedy, younger brother of President Ken nedy, is the Democratic nomi nee for a two-year vacancy in the seat once held by the President. His GOP opponent is George Cabot Lodge, son of the 1960 Republican presi-1 dential nominee, Henry Cabot Lodge. In Oregon, Sen. Wayne L, Morse, a former Republican, is the Democratic nominee for reelection against Sig Unandcr. Democrats believe they have their best chances of dis placing Republicans in Con necticut and Maryland, where Sens. Prescott Bush and John Marshall Butler, respectively, are retiring. Abraham A. Ri bicoff resigned from the Ken nedy Cabinet to run in Con necticut against Rep. Horace Seely-Brown Jr. Rep. Daniel B. Brewster is the Democratic nominee in Maryland against former Rep. Edward T. Miller. Other major Democratic targets include Republican Sens. Thruston B. Morton (Ky.), Joseph H. Bottum Jr. (S.D.), Len Jordan (Idaho), Wallace F. Bennett (Utah), Thomas H. Kuchcl (Calif.) and Alexander Wiley (Wis). All are seeking reelection. Runs Against Dirksen In Illinois, (he Democrats have Rep. Sidney R.

Because of vacancies creat ed by death, Idaho, Kansas and New Hampshire elect two senators each this year.

His medicare bill I was defeated in the Senate I by a 50-48 vote. nounccd mv recent treatise on the origin of hush puppies: one reader went so far as to question whether hush pup pies were a food at all. He claimed they were a type of shoe. I thought the same thing the first time I ate one. But if you ever step on a hush puppy with bare feet you will quickly conclude that they are better eaten than worn. Mrs. J. W. Willis of Man chester. Ga writes that my version of how the hush puppy was discovered, and the amended version sub mitted by Mrs. Edna B, Russell of Smyrna, Del., both conflict with her "fam ily dogma." She insists that hush pup pies were discovered by her husband, who as an infant ac cidentally consumed some raw cornmoal balls that his parents were using for dog fish bait. I am willing to admit that Mrs. Willis' siory sounds plausible. On several occa- form a company to mnrket an instant hush puppy mix. The plan calls for Mumford to furnish the money and recipe and for Duncan to serve as chairman of the hoard. My duties were not defined, but I assume I will be allowed to hire the secre taries. There already are several hush puppy mixes on the mar ket, but I know a way to make our product vastly su perior. Just add a cup o( greasy kid stuff and you've got a dish that will keep your stomach In place all day. IL1D .RlE W sions when I have been served hush puppies, the cook didn't even bother to remove the hook. Mrs. Willis also has an in teresting theory on the origin of collard greens. She claims that they grew in the Garden of Eden and that Adam and Eve wore them instead of fig leaves when they wanted to dress for dinner. I have been unable ta verify this elsewhere, but I do have here a letter from J. K. Mumford of Los An geles in which he describes hush puppies as "the nectar of the gods." Mumford, personnel direc tor of Motorola and a self styled Yankee expert on hush puppies, expressed this senti ment to David Duncan, pub lisher of the Culver City, Calif., Star News, who passed it along to me. Duncan also passed along a proposal that he and Mum ford and I get together and SB OSS 7ft Beautiful and Loaded with lidue Police buy the lark for speed, power, safety. f ore$t Rangers buy the lark for rugged stamina and dependability.
