It's Just As True James your faults one to another, and pray one for another, Heart Grow Fonder The city of Pittsburgh has just found out what it is like to be with- out its daily newspapers for a pro- longed period of time. Editions of Sunday, Nov. 19, were the first since a walkout of mailroom em- ployes closed the three Pittsburgh dailies on Oct. 1.

A surrey taken by a national ad- vertising and public relations firm shows what happened to business and to individual readers. Automobile dealers were unable to advertise new 1951 models and took losses ranging from 5 to 70 per cent. Beauty parlors estimated a Tailing off in trade of 20 to 50 per cent. Clothing retailers saw the decline as 25 per cent. Drugs, en- tertainment, florists, schools, sport- ing events all showed sharp de- clines.

A total of 92.4 per cent of people interviewed thought newspapers had become more important since they had been unable to pet them. A totai of 84.S per cent jid they found it difficult to find out facts or get them straight when newspa- pers weren't available. Men missed chiefly. In order of Importance: local news, sports, na- tional news, foreign news, radio and television information, comics, columnists and editorials. Women missed local news, local siore ad- vertising, radio and television in- formation, vital statistics, national news, food and cooking, comics and foreign news.

The survey organization, foot- notes these last two findings on men and women readers to the effect that people questioned may have had a tendency lo minimize their real interest in comics and play up their interest in "more important things." Be that as it may. the range of interest covered the whole paper. One reader summed up his feelings at being without his paper: "It'g like losing an old By PETER stoSON NEA Washington Correspondent ASHINGTON, Dec. 2 power of the Southern Democrats will be greater in the coming S2nd Congress than ever before. They -will not only hold the balance of power between conservative Republicans and the combination of New Dealers and progressive Republicans which sometimes vote together, they have also gained in the number of chairmanshtips on Important congres- sional committees.

Senators and congressmen don't always vote consistently, nor do they vote in solid blocs. Forecasting- the outcome on important bills would be a lot easier if they did. But there is always a lot of maverick straying off the political range by individual con- gressmen, for reasons perhaps best known to some of their con- stituents. A careful analysis of voting records of the old-timers and poli- tical speeches of the newcomers does, however, indicate trends. And the trend for the 82nd Congress lines up.

about like this: Take the Senate. Of the 47 Republicans in the next Senate, 36 may be classified as GOP conservatives. Eleven are what you might call middle-of-the-roaders. They are sometimes referred to as liberal Republicans and they do vote with the Democrats on some more progressive measures, or on foreign policy. The list checks off easily: Saltonstall, Lodge, Vandenberg, Thye, Tobey, Ives, Morse, Duff, Flanders, Aiken, Langer.

Of the 49 Democrats in the next Senate, only 21 may be classi- fied as voting more or less consistently for the New Deal or Fair Deal program. Eleven Democrats--including five from the South-- sometimes vote with the liberal with the conservatives. They are liberals on foreign policy, conservative civil rights and the more extreme Fair Deal proposals. BALANCE OF POWER LIES WITH A OPPONENTS But the real power in the next Senate lies with the 17 remaining Democrats who may be counted on to vote more'or less consistenly against the Truman administration proposals. When these 17 Dem- ocrats with the 35 Republican conservatives in the next Congress, they will have a majority of 52 to 44.

These 17 conservative Democrats more than offset the 11 liberal Republicans who sometimes vote with the Democrats. These 17 Democrats also more than offset the combination of the 11 liberal Republicans plus the five Southern senators who sometimes vote liberal. Checking off the list of the 17 is also fairly easy: It includes McClellan, George. Russell, Hpey, Long, Ellender, McKellar. Byrd, Robertson, Eastland, StennSs, Chapman, McCarran, O'Connor, Frear and the two new Southerners, Smathers of Florida and Smith of South Carolina.

Frear is from Delaware and McCarran from Nev- ada, but they have voted with this Southern bloc consistently. In this group you also have six important committee chairmen: Ellender (succeeding Thomas of Oklahoma), Agriculture: Russell (succeeding Tydlngs of Maryland), Armed Services; McKellar, Ap- propriations; McClellan, Expenditures; George, Finance; McCarran, Judiciary. Add to this list: Maybank, chairman of Banking and Currency; Connolly, Foreign Relations; Johnson of South Carolina. Civil Ser- vice; Johnson of Texas. Defense Investigation; er, Crime In- vestigation.

Chavez, Public Works. It shows you how much power the South really has. It leaves Northern Democrats only six com- mittee chairmanships. GREATER SIZE OF HOUSE A ANALYSIS I I The situation in the House is not easy to analyze because of the larger membership, the greater independence of notion, and 65 new members. But roughly the situation breaks down about likf: this: Republicans.

199; 230, if you Include Franklin D. Roosevelt, the Democratic-Liberal party conKresHmun. Of tho 2.16 Democrats, 113--or two more than half--nre from South- ern states. This is barely enough to Rive them control in caucus. If they should ever vote In linos.

On an average of 15 key votes in the last Congress, there wt-re approximately i and 10 who voted for the Truuian program. There was an equal number, f0 Democrats and 70 Republicans, who voted regularly against Truman proposals. About 100 Democrats and 90 Republicans split their votes. In the lnnt election, the Republicans' gain of 2S soats. may le presumed to bo at the expense of Truman Democrats.

So the ratio in the new House would become approximately 90 to 15ft Htiti-Trumanitef, assuming thf former ratio of vote splitters remained. On committee chairmanuhipp. Southern Democrats will hold nine, out of the 19 top positions, plus, presumably, the Spnakership of the House, with Sum Rayhurn of Texas. CARNIVAL core. IMO swvice.

EYE HEADACHES Ordinary headache frequently is blamed on the eyes or the sinuses. But examination of these struc- tures often fails to reveal an ab- normality. The reason is that there are so many other causes of head pain. A clew to the origin can be obtained by analyzing the nature of the headache. Where is it located? What brings it on? At what time of the day or night is it most severe? When sinus infection IB the "And if you give the dime, guv'nor, I promise not to ust it in any inflationary spending!"

The National Pike was finished as far at Boonsboro in 1810. Four years previous it was feared that the highway would not be brought through Boonsboro, and there was considerable indigna- tion among the people. A public barbecue was held, at which Gen. Samuel Ringgold, Brien Ringgold and Gen. Tilghman pac- ified the public.

Boonsfaoro was strong for mili- tary companies, the first being re- ported organized there as early as 1802. Another infantry com- pany was formed in 1810 and a rifle company about the same year. There was also a light horse cavalry company a few years later and in 1836 the Ring- gold Riflemen were organized. The people around Boonsboro always possessed a martial spirit and a genuine admiration for the military heroes of the day. George Washington was special- ly venerated, which accounts for the monument erected to him on the mountain above the town in 1827, the completion of the monu- ment being on July 4.

At the con- clusion of the work around 4 p. the Declaration of Indepen- dence was read from one of the steps of the monument, with sev- eral salutes of Infantry being fired.

This is the time of the year when news stories frequently ap- pear concerning "bums" who ask judges to send them to jail for 60 or 90 days to tide them over i the cold weather. On past occasions there have been men went to Washing- ton County a i and asked to be "put up" and who were usually accomodated the next morning on a vagrancy. A week or so ago a man who asked Sheriff Joseph Baker for a room at the jail was accomodated by being sentenced to the House of Correction the next day. However, the Sheriff said such requests have been on the de- cline here in the past year or so. The Sheriff said he believes the possibility of a prisoner being placed on the "weed gang" is a deterrent to "bums" seeking warmer quarters in the winter months.

Being on tbe weed gang keeps a prisoner out in the open as much as If he were a free man.

borrow-: lhan lhc of 8U t8 '(j dl source, pain usually is located in and about the face. Occasionally it is felt in the back of the neck or behind the eyes. This type of distress may be associated with a head cold and there is tenderness of the forehead and cheeks. Eyestrain headaches are almost without exception pubduced by near vision work. The person whose occupation does not require the use of the eyes within arm's ength seldom is bothered.

The nearsighted (myopic) generally es- capes because he sees best when coking at nearby objects. It is the farsighted who are more likely candidates. They see well when ooking in the distance but find it difficult to read or sew without lasses because the ensuing eye- fcrain leads to headache. The same happens occasionally to an individual who reads far into the night; he may awaken at 4 a. m.

or later with a dull pain in the eyes. Headache in children is a rather common symptom but it is rarely caused by eyestrain. In most instances, the origin is emo- tional. Ciliary hypertonicity is a pe- uliar eye condition which is par- tial to the 18-40 age group. These persons develop dull aching pain in the temples and forehead which tends to become worse as the day progresses.

It is accompanied by smarting and burning of the eyes and sometimes blinking vated by reading. The eyes obvi- ously are blamed and the majority of victims expect glasses to cure but "specs" purchased by the dozen will remain in the drawer because the visual part of the eyes is not at fault. There is irritation or strain of the muscles that open and close the pupils. Relief comes from us- ing drops thfrt dilate the pupil each night on retiring, with a mild eye- wash in the day. Allergies affect- ing the conjunctiva produce simi- lar symptoms.

Various eye diseases cause pain. Glaucoma is one of the most seri- ous. Headache appear? suddenly and. once established, is constant and nagging. Rising tension with- in the eyeball is responsible which, unless relieved, may result In irre- parable damage of the delicate re- tina.

Iritis, or inflammation of the shutter mechanism, also gives rise to discomfort. The infected struc- ture is inflamed and sensitive to light; pain is mild or marked, de- pending upon the severity of the inflammation. It may be most noticeable in the eye iiself, around the orbit, the forehead. Iritis comes and goes and is not partial to any age group. The cause is unknown but many authorities be- lieve it is the eye manifestation of a more generalized disease such as rheumatoid arthritis.

Drugs that dilate the pupil offer quick and dra- matic relief.
