u. N. Delegate
Says Turkey
Looks TO West
By ADELAIDE KERR
AP Newsfeatures Writer

LAKE sue c E S S-Turkey's
only woman delegate to the United
Nations-Mrs. Mihri Pektas-says
that the Turkish people are heart
and SOUL with the United States
and that any rumOrs they are be-
ginning to lean toward Russia are
false.
'.We can hope for nothing from
Russia" declared Mrs. Pektas (fOr-
mer member of the Turkish Nat
ional Assembly, in an interview.
Turkey is willing to be friends
with all it's neighbOrs. We were one
of the first to recognize the U. S.
S. r. and made a friendship treaty
with them. But when that lapsed
Russia refused to prolong it unless
she was given a stretch of Turkish
territory on her border and bases
in the Dardanelles. When we did
rot accede. she refused to prolOng
the friendship treaties.
mo, there is absolutely no ques-
ton Of Turkeys leaning toward the
East The Turkish people are heart
and soul with the United States and
delighted with your new policy
1t is our only hope"
Mrs. Pektas spoke in answer 10
questions put to her after some in

COMMON COLD
CONFERENCE
is PROPOSED
AP Newsfeatures

CHICAGO - a national confer
eace on how to fight the common
cold Is proposed by Noah D. Fabri-
cant, M. d., assistant professor Of
otolaryngology at the University Of
Illinois College of Medicine. He
would lave not only doctors, but
chemists, biologists, pharmacolo-
gists, Psychologists, psychologists,
engineers and architects at the
meeting.
The engineers and architects
might be able to supply useful in
formation on bulldogs designed to
keep the indoor air fairly free from
the common cold causes.
Df. Fabricant says colds are not
q definite, single disease but a
group 0f different ills. If cures for
colds are to be found he thinks a
national, cooperative scientific and
medical effort must be made.
If such a 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-
tons TO relieve irritated nasal pass
ages
He said special diets. vaccines
and use of ultraviolet light and OF
sprays to purify the air OF common
cold infections have failed to stand
rigid tests.
Present remedies, DR.. F'abricani
said, treat the symptoms, rather
than getting rid Of the cold itself
Alcohol has been used for genera
tons, either to break up early colds
or treat them.
Dr. Fabricant said that in reason
able doses alcohol does some things
e the body that may be useful fol
common cold symptoms. 1t pro
notes blood circulation IN chilled
areas and dilates blood vessels neal
the body's surface, both of which
may. be useful at times
DR.. Fabrreant cited all the khowr
remedies as an argument that Z
great national research project ].
needed In order to get at the root:
OF colds and find out any genera
treatment that will be useful to the
majority Of sufferers.

a precious one from It's has gone,
A voice we loved is still;
A place isrvacant in our hearts
Which never can be filled.

But what would we give her hand to

Her smiling face to see
To hear her voice and see her smile

 CASE COMES UP
Mayor Lee Beffinger Takes Exceptions fo Proposal
 Made by Navy

! WASHINGTON, Feb. 6.--lR-May- or Lee Bettinger of Kodiak, Alaska, yesterday described a compromise e eeA nt with Navy limiting civil ian use of its ship service stores as an ''ultimatum' to merchants.
 representatives from Kodiak con- feree5 carlv t'lis wrek with Asst. Sec. Navy Mark E. Andrews on their complaint that the Navy was com peting with them by allowing the civilians to use the Navy service stores.
 The Mayor said in an interview Andrews had told him and L. J. Nor man, Kodiak businessman, of the civilian agreement.
 That is no concession at all,' Bettinger said. Tt is an ultimatum that will work great injury to mer- chants of Kodiak.
 we have just wasted three weeks here trying to get the Navy to do the fair thing by Kodiak I shall re- main awhile longer and present our case to Congressional Committees to see if we cannot get some relief
 Bettinger said Andrews contended the Navy must continue to sell to civilian workers and other Govern ment workers at Kodiak to keep the employees happy"
 The Mayor previously had said the Navy Stores at the Kodiak Naval base sold to about half the civilian population of the town and that it is hurting businsss of the town.
 Bettinger said he and Norman were not given an opportunity to dis cuss the Navy proposals.
 MT. Andrews simply told us here is what we will do and then came his ultimatum," the Mayor said There was no compromise to it.
