VENICE, Fla. By cuttinr a
little muscle which controls the
flow of bile into the intestines, a
Canadian physician reported to
day he had found a way to re

Before the International College
of Surgeons here Dr. Otto Demuth
of Vancouver, B. C, explained his
instrument and technique for sev

rings the inside of a duct leading
from the pancreas, liver and call
bladder to the small intestines.
In certain cases of chronin in
digestion and diseases of the gall

tightens and cuts off the supply of
juices needed to complete diges

Dr. Demuth said he had used
the technique successfully since
1933. The instrment is mnll

Senate Increase
Appropriations
By $35,596,261
The Senate passed a $1,139,783,
528 appropriation bill carrying
funds for more than a score of
Government agencies and bureaus.
The total approved was $39,596,
261 more than the sum voted by
the House.
The measure was returned to
the House for action on amend
mentsprincipally one alloting
$39,000,000 to the Maritime Com
mission's construction fund. This
and other increases were offset in
part by minor reductions.
The Chamber rejected, 57 to 18,
an amendment by Senator Robert
A. 1 aft (R) of Ohio to cut the
TVA appropriation from $40,000,-
000 to $35,000,000. Senator Taft
said the "whole question of wheth
er this is to be an economy Con
gress was involved in the vote,
because TVA was given more funds
than it had this year, while activ
ities of other agencies were cut. '
Included in the Senate-approved
measure were funds for the Na
tional Resources Board and for con
tinuation under the Civil Service
Commission of activities of the
Council of Personnel Administra
tion. The House had not provided
this money, which amounted to
$735,040 in the Senate measure.
One Senate increase made at the
request of Senator Carter Glass
(D) of Virginia, boosted from
$100,000 to $190,000 the appropri
ation for the New York Customs
House.

the initial stejft to take, at the same
time providing old cars with polar
ized light shiei'ds to give them the
benefit of th glare-eliminating

He told the au, itomotive engineers
that it would perhaps be necessary
to include standard beam-depress

crossing would not pvevent a driver

"Whether or not it twill be neces
