Common Cold Conference Is Proposed
WP) NaWSfeatureS)


 CHICAGO, (P) - A national conference on how to fight the common cold is proposed by Noah D. Fabricant, M.D., assistant pro- lessor of otolaryngology at the University of Illinois college of medicine. He would have not only doctors, but chemists, biologists, p h r m acologists, physiologists, bacteriologiStS, engineers and architects at the meeting.
 The engineers and architests might be able to supply useful in- formation on buildings designed to keep the indoor air fairly free from the common cold causes.
 pr. Fabricant says colds are not definite. single disease. but a group of different ills. If cures for colds are 10 be found he thinks a national. cooperative scientific and medical effort must be made.
 If such plan were adopted, Dr. Fabricant said it could be used to collect funds from the public, and probably states to support the re- search.
 Dr. Fabricant quoted medical studies to show that all present remedies for the common cold are of little value, except rest in bed and use of steam or other inhala- tions to relieve irritated nasal pas sages. He said special diets, vaccines, and use of ultraviolet light and of sprays to purify the air of com- mon cold infections have failed to stand rigid tests. Present remedies, Dr. Fabricant said, treat the symptoms, rather than getting rid of the cold itself. l Alcohol has been used for genera tions, either to break up early colds or treat them. pr. Fabricant said that in reson. able doses alcohol does some | things 10 the body that may be useful for common cold sYmp. toms. If promotes blood circula- tion in chilled areas and dilafes blood vessels near the bodY's sur face. both of which may be useful | af times. Dr. Fabricant cited all the known remedies as an argument | that a great national research pro- ject is needed in order to get at the roots of colds and find out any general treatment that will be use- full to the majority of sufferers.

Trainmen's
Paper Danlns
Republicans

CLEVELAND OPA)-Train-
men News, official weekly paper
of the 220,000-man Brotherhood
of Railroad Trainmen, in an edi-
torial this week points to Re-
publicanism as ''the most serious
threat to our way of life and the
welfare of the common man"
Recalling that Republican
party policy in the 1920's led to
the severest depression in our
history" Trainmen News states
that: Had they remained in
power much longer, perhaps
even a Roosevelt might not have
been able to arrest the decay
that certainly would have led
to American facts"
"Since the COP took control
OF the national legislature in
January 1947," the editorial de-
clares, private interest has been
consistently favored over the
peoples interest and we can re-
call no single instance where
the Republicans showed a dis
position towards making laws
TO protect and promote the bet
terment of the average citizen.
Today, as the record of the
special session of the 80th Con-
gress proves, the railroaders'
papers continues, "the Republi-
cans are following the same poll
cies which laid the groundwork
for the Hoover breadlines and
soup kitchens.
