IFIuoride Is Advocated
lFor Child Tooth Decay
BY the Assoeioted Press

CHICAGO, Mar. 1.-THE Journal
of the American Dental Association
advocated today that all dentists
apply diluted solutions OF sodium
huoride to the teeth of their child
patients as a means of diminishing
tooth decay.
The Journal said the results OBJ
tanned from experimental studies
| were such that "the use of topically
directly applied fuorides by the
dentist can now be recommended
as a general decay preventive
measure"
In previous articles in the Jour-
nal, investigators reported decreases
in the incidence of tooth decay as
high as 40 per cent. following local
applications of fuoride solutions te

However, the Journal added, pres

teeth of adults.
The Journal said editorially that
considerable work remains to be
done in determining the frequency
of applications and added that home
use of fluoride solutions may not
be without dangers"
The treatment calls for four
initial treatments for each tooth
with applications renewed on an
annual or semi annual basis.

Gen. Eisenhower declared here

The Army chief of staff, principa.

to the uniting of the North anc

basis for international cooperation
to prevent such conflict.

Pointing to "the possibility OF
insane attacks on those who work
for peace" Gen. Eisenhower de-
clared the relative securi.S, that
resides in strength-military, moral
and economic-dare not be ignored
Until all others are ready, with
us, to substitute the council table
for the battlefield, we must parallel
and support our efforts toward
world stability with a unified pur-
pose to guard ourselves we'll and
to maintain an effective strength
that compels respect for our peace
full intent" he said.
But this cannot be our final
goal" he continued. Fear of war
and its consequences impedes spir-
itual and material progress and
at the least compels vast diversions
of our toll and sweat to unproduc-
tive processes.
If the American system of CO.
operation is to be extended to world
wide practice for "the salvation
of us all, then it is incumbent upon
us to make the system work at
home" Gen. Eisenhower added.
