The time Of year is again at
hand when if you happen to say,
How have you been?", to the
acquaintance who stops you on
the street or to the friend who
calls you on the telephone, you
are almost sure to hear about
cold.
Your friend is right in the
middle of a bad one, or she
she is coming down with
a lulu, or she is just up after a
bout with the bug.
If the friend is hale and hearty,
then her husband has been home
with a cold, or the kids have been
passing one around.
And either way, you'll get all
the details. Because colds r a
favorite wintertime conversational

topic-always fascinating to the
person who is giving the statistics
and always boring to the person
who must listen politely, with now
and then a sympathetic h%eadshake
and the assurance that there does
seem to be an epidemic raging.
And it all starts with that in
nocent little question, How have
you been?", which everybody a.
ways naively expects to have an
swered with a satisfactory, Fine,
thank you" But not this time of
year.
1t would make for %pleasanter
conversation if we adopted Lets
not discuss our colds" as a ma
tional slogan.
But maybe it would be simpler
if-during the winter months-we
just stopped asking that lead ques-
ton, How have you been?"

Congress Near
Showdown on
Aid andPrices
Relief Cut Pushed,
Substitute Initiation
PIon Being Drafted
By J. A. O'Ieory

A showdown is due in Congress
early next week on both of the
issues which caused President
Truman to call a special session
foreign aid and imitation
control.
During weekend recess oppo-
nents of the administrations plea for
S597 100000 to carry France, Italy
and Austria through the winter are
preparing to make their strongest
effort to cut the program further
on the House floor Monday.
In the House Foreign Affairs
Committee, they succeeded in lop-
ping $67 100000 off the Senate total
for Western Europe, after which
they added $6O,00000O for China.
Administration witnesses had indi-
Gated they wanted to submit China's
needs later.
Work on Substitute Price Plan.
Meanwhile, on the Senate side
Republican leaders buckled down
to weekend efforts to draft sub
stitute for the Presidents anti
imitation program, emphasizing vol
untary ALLEGATION of scarce materi-
ais.
While the House argued yester-
day over how much stopgap help
Western Europe should be given this
winter, a spokesman for organized
labor warned that failure to adopt
a long-range foreign aid program
means war.
George Meany, Secretary-treaSurer
of the American Federation of La
Dor, called on Congress in radio
broadcast to give speedy approval to
the long-term Marshall plan. He
said the ultimate price of refusal
to put the Marshall plan in effect
is War-a war in which America
would be practically alone" He
advised the lawmakers to shelve par
tisanship and act quickly.
The Marshall plan is not due to
be taken up until the regular Janu-
airy session. In fact, it has not yet
been formally presented by the ad-
ministration.
Loyett Urges Full Sum.
Undersecretary of State Lovett
told the Senate Appropriations Com
mittee yesterday that current strikes
in France and Italy are inspired by
Communists and demonstrate IAN
extension of Soviet foreign policy"
: He urged the full sum asked by
the administration for stopgap re-
; lief abroad, saying this country
!. should mot get frightened out" OF
tits plan by the Communist maneu-
vering.
When the House reconvenes at
noon Monday it will begin voting on
wide variety of strings various
members want to tie to the interim
aid bill.
The major test will come on ef-
forts to cut the authorization still
more. Republican leaders have in
dicated privately they would like to
see the amount reduced, but not as
low as the $780, 100000 ceiling pro-
posed yesterday by Representative
Jonkman, Republican, of Michigan.
Moves also will be made in the
House to minimize any further in
flation that may result in this
country from the buying of supplies

creates vacuum IN the lungs which
tend automatically to suck in air
from the outside.
But, DR.. Draper pointed out, ordi-
nary air is four -fifths nitrogen This
will not combine with the red cells
and simply piles up in the lungs
when there is no expiration. Thus,
no vacuum is created and an animal
dies of oxygen suffocation in a
couple of minutes. B
But when absolutely pure oxygen
is used, the blood hemoglobin picks
it up as soon as it is available, leav-
ing a continuous vacuum.
Presumably this would go on in
defnately were it not for the neces-
sity eventually of getting rid of the
waste product of respiration-carbon
dioxide. This eventually would
prove a deadly poison. DR.. Draper
found, however, that the heart will
remain beating for an hour or more
despite the carbon dioxide accumu-
lation.
There Is very little question, he
said, that the findings will hold good
