Doctor Proposes
33-Hour Topering

down whisky-was described today

DIR. 2. N. Mason of Kansas City

in such cases by many American
doctors in recent years, proponents
of immediate withdrawal have dis
regarded one important factor"
This is that for the alcoholic the
sudden withdrawal of alcohol fire.
quently constitutes a severe shock, ;.
DR.. Mason said in the quarterly
journal of studies on alcohol.
His method also calls for use of
tablespoonful of salt in water, given
twice during the 33-hour period, and
also use of black coffee with sugar.
Salt and sugar are required because
of lowered levels of those substances
in the drunk's body, resulting from
failure to eat properly during his

|vandenbere Proposal
For Foreign Aid Study
Supported by Clayton
By ihe Associoted Pres.

Senator Vandenberg's proposal for
a bipartisan survey OF how much
more aid the United States can
safely give foreign countries
seems assured of State Department
blessing .
It is uncertain, however. whether
the department win accept In full
the foreign assistance planning pro-
gram laid down Saturday by the
chairman OF the Senate Foreign Re-
Iations Committee or whether it will
suggest some notifications OF that
plan.
Undersecretary of State Clayton
told news conference yesterday
that so far as the Vandenberg pro-
posal has, to do with the study of
American resources and the ability
OF this country to send further help
abroad he considers it a very wise
suggestion.
But in so far as determining how
much foreign countries need. Mr..
Clayton said, that is matter which
those countries can determine best
subject to checks by |
State Department. Treasury and
other American economic officials
abroad.
Diplomatic authorities indicated
that Secretary of State Marshall
still has the Vandenberg plan under
study and that when Gen. Marshall
and his advisers have worked out
exactly how they think a bipartisan
approach should be developed, the
cabinet officer then will discuss the
whole question with the Michigan
Senator.
Senator vandenberg's proposal
covered three points: Cd The limits
within which the United Staes may |
safely and wisely plan foreign as
sistance; f2) the basis on which
such system of help should be |
including reciprocal /
considerations, and 80 the overall
requirements in both Europe and
Asia which are calculated to be
involved"
Mr.. Clayton's unqualified indorse-
ment apparently extended only to
the first of the three points. But
this was interpreted for the time !,
being as not closing the door on
the other two, but simply leaving
open the question of how the pro-
posed bipartisan advisory council |
might be organized and what tasks
night be assigned to it.
Mr.. Clayton, who is scheduled to
leave here next week for the Inter
national Trade Conference at
Geneva, will visit London and even-
tually some other European capitals
TO review trade problems with for
eign government officials.
