stitute Of Health at its Memorial
Laboratory just opened at Bethesda

of the common cold, it was learned
today.

had a widespread affect on the
population and kept many people
from work.

A survey by the United States
Public Health Service, he said, re-
Gently showed an average Of 250,000
people were absent from their work

cold.
The possibility of its running into
more serious illnesses, it was pointed
out, also make the affiiction worthy
of more concentrated research.
The common cold has been prev
alent in Washington already this
fall, according to reports from physi-
clans. In many cases it has been
more debilitating than usual, COM
plicated with fever, weakness, and
long drawn out after effects. similar
to the "flu.'
The cold investigation will be one
of several to be carried out at the
National Institute of Health this
coming year, DR.. Dyer explained.
General Attack on Disease.
At the Memorial Laboratory,
studies will be carried forward on
virtually all of the so-called virus
diseases.
Generally, too, DR.. Dyer said, the
National Institute of Health is plan
ming comprehensive attack on the
principal diseases which aff1ict the
human race.
Part of this program will be car
ried out through grants-in-aid to
universities, laboratories and pri-
vate research organizations. Some
funds already are on hand and fur
ther money will be sought from
Congress when it meets in January.
Among the diseases TO be studied
will be infantile paralysis, heart
trouble, tropical infections such as
malaria, undulant fever, and dis
eases of old age, Of the kidneys and

 Few Doctors Sabotage VA

St. Cloud, Minn., Aug. 14-(UP)- Dr. Paul R. HaWley, Veterans Ad- ministration m e d ic al director, charged today that certain dis gruntled doctors" within his organi- zation were using flies" in an effort to sabotage the VA medical pro- gram. certain "misinformed organi- zations" also have attacked the pro- gram, Hawley told Minnesota Amer 1can Legion members meeting here.
 He did not name any particular group but apparently referred to the Disabled American Veterans organ ization in Minnesota. At it's con- vention last month the DAV adopt cd resolution charging that VA was using patients as guinea pigs" to train it's specialists.
 These critics say that we are using veterans as guinea pigs-that we are experimenting on them in veterans hospitals" Hawley said. Nothing could be farther from the truth"
 He said the VAS specialist pro- gram was similar to that in the most famous hospitals and clinics in the United States.
 "The worst aspect of this criticism is that these misinformed critics are being furnished their informa- ton by certain disgruntled doctors of the old regime of the Veterans Administration" he declared.
 These doctors know that they lie And the fact that they know they lie, and use those lies In an effort to destroy program which offers more to a sick veteran than has ever been offered to him before, is measure of the character of these men,

Trons-jordon, Fire Opposed ForUN Seats

New York, Aug. IA - (UP) - Russia's opposition to the admis- sion of Trans-Jordan and Ireland to the United Nations left the So- viet in position today to do a little political log rolling on ap- plications to the world organization.
 Alexei N. Krasilnikov, Soviet rep resentative to the Security Councils membership committee, based his country's opposition on the fact that Russia had no diplomatic re- lations with either Ireland or Trans-Jordan. But observers be- lieved that Russia was jockeying herself into position to bargain with the United States and Great Britain over the admission of AL bania and Outer Mongolia.
 Applications of both Outer Mon golia and Albania were pushed aside temporarily last week, at the in- sistence of the western powers, while more information was sought on their eligibility for membership. The request for additional inform ation about the two countries was maQe over RuSSlaS opposition.
 The committee drafted a list of five questions to be submitted to the government of Outer Mongolia. Similar questions were submitted last week to Col. Tux Jakova, AL banian minister without portfolio who is handling that country's dealings with the United Nations. Further discussions on Albania S application were postponed until Jakova's submits the information the committee requested.
 One application for admission was approved when nine of the II delegates voted for the admission of Afghanistan. Australia and Mexico were the two countries who did not express their opinion on the appli- cation.
