Social Hygiene Head
Dep|ores Publicity on
'1-Day' Syphilis
Premature, Everett Says,
Feorine Reaction on
Lonq-Course Victims

Recent publicity regarding "one-
day cure for syphilis is entirely
premature and overly optimistic, v
according to Ray H. Everett, execu-
tive secretary of the Social Hygiene
Society, who deplores the possibly
damaging effect of the announce
ment on minds of patients now un-
dergoing the customary year-and-a-
half Long treatment.
THE physicians in Dayton, Ohio,
who experiment with this new treat
ment," Mr.. Everett said, deny en-
phatically that they have devised
a new and revolutionary 'one-day'
cure of syphilis. They have treated
only very small number of patients
and for such short time that no
adequate clinical evaluation has
been possible"
Experiments have been made for
over eight years with 'five-day
cure and that treatment is still in
the experimental stage and is not
at all ready for general use" Mr.
Everett continued, emphasizing the
thorough testing necessary before
novel therapeutic processes can be
accepted by the medical profession
Several outstanding authorities on
venereal diseases tried to dissuade
the Dayton physicians from publiciz-
ing their current experiments, Mr.
Everett said.
Like most new promising medical
procedures" he pointed out, ''it will
require widespread testing, the
training of needed personnel, anc
provision of the essential facilitie.
and devices before it becomes use
full and acceptable public health
weapon"
Two of Washington's leading
syphilologists and medical educators
Mr.. Everett added, termed publicity
given the Dayton experiments 1.-THE
most dangerous statement regarding
the syphilis problem that has ap-
peared in the last decade"

Marines Gain
|2ki|es, Cross
Key River
Flying Fortresses
Aid Leuthernecks
By SiIencine Guns

Japanese forces are retreating
slowly west of the American air
base on Guadalcanal, the Navy
announced today, after an attack
in which a small force of ma
rines, supported by Flying Fort
resses, crossed the Matanikau
River and advanced 2 miles with
comparatively few casualties.
The communique said that on
November / (Solomons time) United
States fighters and dive bombers at
tackled enemy positions throughout
the day and that enemy artillery
fire was silenced before the marines
advanced.
Gruman Wildcats attacked enemy
installations on the same day at
Rekata Bay, strafing buildings and
starting a fire.
Five enemy planes were destroyed
in that attack, with some damage"
to our planes from heavy anti
aircraft fire.
All our planes returned to their
base from this attack.
On October 80, our aircraft made
three attacks on enemy positions on
Guadalcanal. A formation of six
Zero fighters was intercepted by
five Grumman Wildcats, and four
of the enemy planes were shot down
without damage to our ships. Dur
ing that night, Douglas Dauntless
dive -bombers attacked enemy posi-
tions on the island.
The communique today added up
to loss of nine enemy planes, with
out a single loss of United States
plane.
This engagement, with an absolute
score, brought to total of 529 Jap
planes destroyed in that area since
hostilitieS began.
Although Navy officials would not
discuss the whole situation, today's
communique was obviously presented
with more optimism than any since
the Japs returned recently in their
attempt to recapture Guadalcanal
and the strategically located Hen
derson Airport there.
