A Switch More often than not, we have been critical of decisions and actions of Governor Edmund Brown during his tenure at the helm of the state. When we didn't see eye-to-eye with some of his views we didn't hesitate to say so although it probably made little imprint on whether or not it changed anything. Thus, in all fairness, we feel it worthy to offer approval when he does something in which we concur and a decision of the governor only the other day draws our nod for an act of good effort. It involves the governor's move in line with a program to get more judges with criminal experience. Governor Brown said he is concerned about recent decisions particu-larly in the State Supreme Court. He said some of them "are not realistic." In appointing Justice Lester Roth to presiding justice of the State Appelate Court for Southern California, the governor said it was in line with the program. Governor Brown was particularly critical of the so-called "Dorado" decision which would permit a suspect to remain silent in police investigation of a criminal case. He said recent decisions make the job of the trial judges and the prosecutors more difficult. Certainly somebody needs some kind of help fighting the crime so rampant these days. Yes, It's Coming The bloody Congo carousel still whirls. Some people are cluck-clucking over Moise Tshombe's readiness to use mercenaries in order to keep what passes for peace in that harried African "nation." But when Tshombe was ruler of successful and western-allied Katanga, the United States took $171 million in tax dollars to send UN troops to oust him and force his country into a communist - guided Congo union. When this brilliant stroke of new-nation and chaos, somebody got the bril-liant idea of bringing Tshombe back and putting him in charge of the whole shooting match. To disparage Tshombe's use of mercenaries seems a little inconsistent even for our far out internationalists. If UN troops aren't mercenaries, what are they? Yet it's all right for us to use them when we want Tshombe out, but wrong for him to use them when we want him in. Mumbo Jumbo, to paraphrase the poet Vachel Lindsay, still reigns as the god of the Congo. JOSEPH G. MOLNER, M.D. The Many Causes Of JOSEPH G. MOLNER, M.D. The Many Causes Of Thromboplebitis Dear Dr. Molner: What about thrombophlebitis, as to cause (other than surgery or maternity), treatment, duration, and if both legs can be affected at the same time? Would an acute attack of arthritis with a temperature of 102 have any bearing on the condition? —K. R. Thrombophlebitis is inflammation of the lining of a vein, an inflammation which can be disabling and serious. The principal causes are sluggish circulation, injury to the vein, and (much less often) complications from some serious disease. I doubt that the arthritis would have had much to do with this attack except that it perhaps restricted activity of the legs. Varicose veins result in congestion, which is one of the common causes of thrombophlebitis — and one reason why I encourage their removal. And, of course, veins with congested circulation will be much more vulnerable to an injury. Nine out of 10 cases of thrombophlebitis can be prevented if proper steps are taken. A good many of them now ARE being prevented. With both surgery and maternity cases, early ambulation has done a great deal of good. Get the patient up and moving as soon as possible, instead of keeping him or her lying in bed while the circulation becomes more and more stagnant. If a patient is confined to bed, leg motion is still to be encouraged. Feet may be elevated, and sometimes the legs are wrapped with elastic bandages, especially if varicose veins are present. For people on their feet, round garters or other constriction above the knee must be avoided. Duration of thrombophlebitis cannot be predicted exactly. Many cases largely clear up in a month or thereabouts, but invariably some degree of swelling will remain in the legs, especially if the person is on the feet for any length of time. In severe cases, the time may be much longer. Treatment involves rest, yet still enough movement to encourage circulation; anticoagulants ("blood thinners" to minimize clotting); and anti-inflammatory drugs. Phenylbutazone also are effective. (All of these are highly specialized medications and must be closely supervised by your doctor.) Thrombophlebitis of course can occur in both legs at once, but this would be rather a matter of coincidence. Dear Dr. Molner: Please explain Cholecystitis and cholelithiasis. —E. M. K. The first means infection in the gall bladder; the second that a gallstone (or stones) is present. The two quite usually go together, although either condition may be present separately. Dear Dr. Molner: Is a person born with catalepsy, or does it develop later in life? What type would be most likely to have it: What if anything can be done? —L. S. Catalepsy is a condition in which a sufferer assumes some awkward and unusual position and maintains it, such as keeping an arm held out straight. In some cases, the individual may hold his whole body rigid for a long time. It is acquired, and probably is seen most often in cases of some mental disturbance, particularly hysteria. It may also be an aftermath of some types of encephalitis (brain inflammation) or even in Parkinson's disease, although this is rare. Treatment depends on the underlying cause, naturally. If it is mental, then psychiatric aid is required. ALFRED SHEINWOLD Contract Bridge HANG ON TO OPPONENT WHO STICKS TO BOOK Stead of cold mathematics. Most opponents, even on the expert level, like little ones. ALFRED SHEINWOLD Contract Bridge HANG ON TO OPPONENT WHO STICKS TO BOOK Life at the bridge table is simple when you have a reliable opponent. If he has the tricks, he may beat you; but he won't beat you by his cunning. Grapple him to your soul with hoops of steel. West opens the deuce of spades, you try dummy's jack, but East covers with the queen. You win with the king at once, fearing a shift to hearts. Now you must make an important decision: Will you develop clubs or diamonds? If the four missing diamonds break 2-2, you can make the contract by casting the top diamonds and running the rest of the suit. If the eight missing spades break 4-4, you can afford to give up two clubs and let the opponents take their two spade tricks. Each plan has its danger. If you try the diamonds and discover that they break 3-1, the opponents will take a diamond trick as well as their two clubs and two spades. But if you try the clubs and discover that the spades break 5-3, the opponents will take a diamond trick as well as their two clubs and two spades. But if you try the clubs and discover that the spades break 5-3, the opponents will take three spades and two clubs. Which is more likely — a 2-2 break in diamonds or a 4-4 break in spades? This is where you think of your opponents in- stead of cold mathematics. Most opponents, even on the expert level, act like little gentlemen when leading from a broken suit: they lead the fourth-highest card. The lead of the deuce of spades indicates that West has three higher spades, and he cannot have any lower spades. Hence the spades could break 4-4. A few experiis, following the example of the Italian world champions, favor leading the lowest card of a suit to show a serious interest in it — whether the suit consists of four, five, or six cards. Furtunately for most of us, few of our opponents are crafty enough to make leads of this kind. It pays to trust your opponents — at least so far as their opening leads are concerned.

Those who think our President is a wild-eyed revolutionary bent on destroying the status quo can take comfort. He is merely recognizing a simple fact of life: politics mixed with poverty means votes. LBJ is also acknowledging another fact: certain groups in our country that have known for decades only the unconcealed heel of exploitation are now waking up. The downtrodden are now demanding their rights as they have never done before. But without doubt the Administration's "war" on poverty is mere tokenism at its best and is doomed to failure.

Write the "Voice of the People." power is of the essence of the American spirit, and draw from its historic birth; it may slumber long, but it slumbers light; and today the land is full of its mutteries. Out of this American spirit comes the Lee Plan—a program to abolish forever economic royalism—in the same spirit that the Founding Fathers abolished forever political royalty in 1776. The French writer, Emile Zola stated: "When truth is buried underground it grows, it chokes, it gathers such an explosive force that on the day it bursts out, it blows up everything with it." When the truth of the maldistribution of wealth is exploded before them, the American people will see the need and enact the Lee Plan. Sincerely, JOHN D. COPPING Now You Know A form of eyeglasses was in use as early as the 14th century, according to the Encyclopaedia Britannica. John N. Power On Deadline Not On The Ballot — But Still The Target The other day, the editor of the Deer Creek Pilot of Rolling Fork, Miss., lashed out against the apparent trend of some politicians to single out newsmen as targets for verbal blasts. The editor was not writing about columnists but about the average reporters and television newsmen who are trying to do an objective job of news reporting. Now these television reporters, commentators and newspaper reporters won't be on the November election ballot anywhere but it is obvious from the state and national conventions and the campaigning of Governor Wallace and others — that some of the sharpest barbs of the current election campaign are being aimed at the news media. It is anything but heartening to the reporter who is literally getting kicked trying to cover unpleasant and unpopular stories all over the country to be continually verbally kicked in the teeth for his trouble, to the delight of viewers and readers he is getting the information for. Disagreement and even anger with commentators and columnists expressing personal opinion is expected and is proper, but the anger and resentment East, and West, as well as South are showing a natural objection to skeletons in their particular closets being pulled out for the whole nation to see. Local reporting, North or South, rarely digs deeply into these kind of stories unless compelled to by unusual circumstances or the prodding of outside newsmen who don't have to be concerned about local reaction and local public opinion. If such reporting is often objectionable to local residents, it is often because they are seeing and hearing things they didn't know about, find hard to believe, and don't want to believe. And since it is usually an outsider doing the reporting, it's easy to blame him for being biased, while praising the local reporter who often knows the story but doesn't report it. This is a journalistic fact of life, North East, South, or West. Mississippi reporters at the Republican Convention in San Francisco reported items San Francisco reporters knew but overlooked. No reporter claims infallibility ... we all admit to mistakes of fact and judgment ... but the great bulk of what you hear, see, and read is honest, objective reporting. The Lyons Den Russians Play Fair With Sean O'Casey Sean O'Casey, who became one of the great men of letters, said he rarely earned over $2,000 a year. When he was 77 he had a windfall — out of the blue, a check for $1,000 from the Soviet government, for unitemized royalties. When Mrs. O'Casey saw the check, she thought it was a contest-coupon. "Sean thought it a mistake, and wanted to hide it." The first real money O'Casey ever collected was when "Shadow of a Gunman" was performed here. His royalties were $1,800 a week. His wife decided to go on a shopping spree with this new wealth — but there was nothing to buy for him: "It's no good buying him shirts or tires; he just wears a sweater. And he prefers his old typewriter." Wealth, for Sean O'Casey, meant only indulging himself with buying new books and recordings. O'Casey, however, took no aloof attitude towards the accumulation of money. When his Broadway royalty checks started coming, he said: "I'd be a fool to tell you I'm not thrilled. Two dollars always is better than one dollar. Money's not everything, but it is a comfort." The Bishop of Ottawa organized Hemingway's stories, is just back from Paris, Bertin, the bartender of the Ritz' Little Bar, told him how he and Hemingway concocted the first Bloody Mary. Hemingway's doctor cautioned him not to drink before noon, because of his liver condition. He tried fruit juices, but didn't like them. The bartender then prepared tomato juice. "Too thick," said Hemingway. "Needs some vodka to thin it out." The drink was known as "Ernie's vodka."
