MYRTLE Beach Air
Base To Be Put
On Inactive Status

WASHINGTON, Oct. 8. - The
Myrtle Beach army air base is
headed for inactive status by
January l, on at least a temper
ary basis, it was learned in Wash
n gtnl late today. This intorna-
tion is said to be fully accurate,
but no official source cares to
sponsor it now. This is the eX-
PLANTATION given:
The bombing ranges at George
town and Conway are about TO
revert to their former civilian
owners, as the result of recent
pressure eXerted upon the army
department. Without these, only
the over-the-Water target range
at Myrtle Beach remains. This
overWater range is not sufficient
reason for maintenance of a full
fledged air base from the view
point of sound economic opera
ton and training.
When the Myrtle Beach base
goes on inactive status. a force
of about 100 enlisted men and
two officers will be left for pro-
lection and maintenance.

Ingenuity Can Make
Rice DIET PaIatabIe,
Medical Society Told

A doctor with enough ingenuity
can make even the much h-debatec
rice diet for relief of high blooe
pressure sufficiently pleasant to the
taste to prevent the diet violations
that would nullify effects of the
treatment, the District Medical So
ciety was told last night.
Patients who are held to the rigic
menu of rice, fruit and vitamins
soon find their meals so montonous
that they wonder if the cure isni
worse than the disease, pointed Out
DR.. Maurice H. Friedman, George
town Medical School instructor.
Yet the treatment, introduced by
doctors at Duke University a few
years ago, seems to have merit in
reducing blood pressure below. the
danger level, DR.. Friedman con-
tended.
Practical Diet Proposed.
What doctors must do, he said,
is to make 1t practical, by relaxing
the food restrictions to q point
where the patient can be trusted
to follow the prescribed diet.
Although no one is quite sure why
the rice diet has been so successful
in many cases of high blood pres
sure, the doctor asserted, the sig
nif1cant factor seems to be the elm
ination Of sodium from the patients
meals.
He said salt without sodium can
be used to season the rice.
One method Of making milk &C
ceptable for addition the diet, al
ready being tried by doctors at
Mount Alto Hospital here and Johns
Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore, il
simple enough for any patient to try
himself, DR.. Friedman declared.
Processing Of Milk Outlined.
He said pharmacies could provide
patients with sausage skins into
which they could pour their milk,
leave 1t overnight in running water
and drink it the following day after
the salt has been filtered of through
the skin.
DR.. Friedman addressed a scien-
tific session at the District Medical
Society auditorium, sponsored joint
i ly by the society and the District
Pharmaceutical Association.
The corner druggist found q
champion in DR.. Edward C.. Elliott,
another speaker who addressed the
mixed audience Of doctors and phar-
macists.
DR.. Elliott, director Of the Phar-
maceutical Survey and former pres
ident Of Purdue University, said the
two professions must work as equal
partners to help the patient. He
said the public gets $4,000, 600 pre-
scriptions filled each year.

macology at George Washington
Medical School, described the for
mula and effect of different drugs
