Such a possibility was set forth in the journal of the American Medical Assr. by Drs. Stanley Cobb and Walter Bauer and Isabel Whiting of Boston The authors said that environmental stress, especially poverty, grief and family worry, appears to bear more than a chance relationship to the onset and flare-up of symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis (an inflamation of a joint, resembling rheumatism). They based their statement on a study of 50 patients with typical rheumatoid arthritis a condition which is the most prevalent of the chronic joint diseases. Of the patients interviewed, 31 10 men ar 21 women gave histories of financial stress.

These accounts, the authors said, corresponded in point of time with the onset or flare-up of arthritis. In 12 ther patients the same underlying factors appear, but in the cases of these individuals there is not so much evidence of time relationship between the events of the social history and the increase in severity of the arthritis as in the 31 cases, the authors said. The other seven cases, which included some of the youngest patients, gave no indication of relationship between the social insecurity and arthritic history. To bear out the indications of their study, the authors examined 25 patients with another ailment and found that in only three cases was there any coincidence of onset of the ailment and social stress. "Rheumatoid arthritis," they said, "is a chronic disease of unknown origin.

It respects neither age, sex, race nor social position, although it does affect women more frequently than men, white persons more often than Negroes and poor more commonly than the rich." Postal Clerks Auxiliary To Picnic at Cedar Beach Arrangements for a picnic were made by the Ladies auxiliary of the Allentown Branch, National Federation of Postal Clerks at a meeting on Wednesday night at the home of Mrs. James J.

Just $6.30. Unchallenged value at s6 .50 By FREDERICK C. OTHMAN United Press Hollywood Correspondent HOLLYWOOD, (UP) Have you been reading vague reports lately about how the movie actors who are the highest-paid workmen in the world are figuring on striking? And have you wondered why? If your answer is "yes," read on, but we warn you, the going will be, tough. No international arms conference ever was so complicated as the fuss which is causing the movie stars to lose sleep. The actors donlrwant more money.

Neither do they seek shorter hours. They aren't even mad at their bosses. They've got their guns out for the American Federation of Labor. And if the picture studios are closed by a strike, the reason will be about as peculiar as such things ever get. The main actor union ls.tne Asso ciated Actors and Artistes of America, or the AAAA.

The movie makers, the radio performers and the stage actors all are units of it. The night club performers used to be. Their organization was known as the American Federation of Actors. Sophie Tucker was president and Ralph Whitehead was executive secretary. The AAA heard vague reports of skullduggery a few weeks ago among the nignt club union leaders.

A special investigating committee found certain irregularities in the handling of funds. Upshot was that the AAAA kicked Sophie Tucker's union out of its jurisdiction and set up a new night club union, called the American Guild of Variety Artists, with Eddie Cantor as president. Canton immediately tried to get Sophie's members to switch over to his outfit. Miss Tucker, however, kept her union as intact as she could and joined the International Alliance of Theatrical and Stage Employes. The stage hands' union took over the night club union, it said, simply to keep the cabaret dancers and singers in the AFL fold.

It said, otherwise the CIO rival of the AFL might snatch them. This explanation did not suit the movie actors, who are members of the Screen Actors Guild, which is in turn a part of the AAAA. The picture stars said stage hands had no right to dictate policies to performers, even night club performers. They said if the IATSE got away with this gulp of authority, it might attempt to boss the movie actors, too. Furthermore, the movie stars claimed, the IATSE was being run by "racketeers." Particularly did they denounce William Bion, west coast head of the stage hands, whose deal ings with certain picture producers even now are being investigated by a grand jury.

Rather than let the stage hands rule the night club actors, the movie performers said they'd strike. It's not the money; it's the principal of the thing. We've been trying to figure out the meaning of the fracas for weeks we've even been attending the meet' ings of the embattled actors, who make speeches and bawl out each other, exactly like any other union members. Only difference between the movie makers and carpenters or steamfitters is that they drive to their meetings in limousines. Their chauffeurs wait outside while they argue.

Cantor is taking a leading part in the fight against the stage hands. He claims he still loves Miss Tucker. "In fact," he said at the last meet' ing, "I think good old Sophie will be back with us some of these days." Leader of the movie stars is Ralph Morgan, the character actor. His most vigorous supporters are James Cag-ney, Pat O'Brien, John Garfield, Wayne Morris, Adolph Menjou, Fran ALLENTOWN BETHLEHEM EASTON READING READ THIS STATEMENT ABOUT OUR August Sale OF SMART FUR GIAT HAIMOWICZ'S reliability is well known, you don't gamble when you buy your furs here we personally supervised every pelt, every stitch that goes into our fur coats.
