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. Clark (Pa.),

Chronic Ulcerative Colitis
Many anxious people write
asking what can be done for
chronic ulcerative colitis. 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.

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.

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.

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.

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
