THE COMMON COLD

At this time of year it is not pleasant to report that science is still baffled by the common cold. After Az years of exhautive study of this common enemy of mankind the Common Cold Research Unit at Harvard Hospital, London, reports it has learned only that the cold is virus, that it isn't caught from draughs wet feet drenched clothes, and that antihistamnes will not prevent it. The chief that the cold defes researchers because not enough people will volunteer to be infected for the advancement of science Since the London Cold Research Unit in 1946 started it's staton-a group of prefabrcaed huts the historic plains of Salisbury -2987 people have volunteered for a free 10-day stay plus cold inoculation; but tests much larger scale needed.

American authorities on the common cold, speak ing on a recent Chicago University Round Table broadcast told story, and deplored the lack of what they called laboratory animals'-meaning human beings-for research. They said that people in this country have 300 million colds year-with bill in terms of doctors, drugs and time lost from work-of about three billion dollars. All this they felt should be spur to volunteer service The un- concern is doubtless due to the fact that we have come to regard the common cold as constant like death and taxes

to report. This was on February IT, On February IS meeting was heio in the hotel-apartment Of senator Brewster. chairman of the COP Senate campaign committee, atten- ded by Senator Butler, his attorney, and an attorney for the Chicago Tribune's Washington Times-Hef- aid The latter newspaper was master -minding the anti-Tydlngs campaign.
 It was just after this that But ler's campaign manager Oalso sup piled him by the Chicago Tribune group) suddenly remembered S27,- 100 of contributions that had slip ped his mind back in November. Hurriedly he filed them.
 That is why Senators Wherry of Nebraska and Welker of Idaho are vigorously demanding the end of the Maryland probe. But they too seem to have bad memories. For turing the 80th GCP-controlled Congress, the Senate held an elec- ton probe in Maryland which las ted two years. That time, however, they were investigating Senator O'Conor, Democrat. Now the Democrats are investigating a Re- publican-though for only three months, not two years.
 Cruisers Win Enemies
 Latin American diplomats are soo polite to talk about it publicly, but there has been lot of private srousing over American stupidity in sending two Americans cruisers to Argentina just at a time when Dictator Peron was consistently and vigorously kicking Uncle Sam on the shins.
 While the State Department also sold two cruisers each to two old friends, Chile and Brazil, unfor- tunately the two cruisers which Argentina got not only coinpieIeiy nullified the effect of the gestures to Brazil and Chile but made them sore as blazes.
 In fact, public opinion in both Brazil and Chile today is probably more critical of the U. s. A. than at any other time, partly because of these cruisers.
 If the United States rewards it's critics, as it did Argentina" say a lot of Brazilians, then perhaps we should be critics too. Apparent ly the State Department believes in kicking its friends and helping it's enemies"

 It is mistake for the United States to send too many troops to Europe in hurry, for the Euro reans have the impression anyway that we are pushing them into war II would also be mistake fol France and England not to match our 4th division immediately, be- cause many Americans have the impression that we are shouldering the whole arms burden.
 Therefore, when the 4th division hits Normandy sometime in late April or early May, it should be the occasion of a great and simul- taneous show of mutual confidence with new French and British di- visions joining in a gigantic allied parade up the Champs Elysees.

NATION NOW IN
 TERRIBLE DANGER
 AS5ERT5 RAYBURN

WASHINGTON, April g -lR- Speaker Rayburn said today we are in terrible danger" because the Russians are building up concentra- tions "here and there and every where"
 Rayburn, Texas Democrat, told White House reporters following conference with President Truman that Russians are building up troop concentrations "in lots of places
 He added: Just where this is being done IS little beyond my field, but have it on good auth ority, the best authority"
 Last week, Rayburn came out of a White House conference and said not all the troops gathering in Man churia were Chinese Communists
 Rayburn also said then that the United States was threatened by "a terrible danger" which might bring on another World War.
 Last weeks statements were made on the House floor as it began de- bate on the controversial Draft Universal Military Training Bill.
 The house speaker, who seldom takes the floor to speak, had just come from a White House briefing. He interrupted debate on the Draft UNIT Bill to deplore "complacency" in these troubled times.
 Pressed to elaborate. Rayburn said he would have more to say later; that he would tell House members things which they as yet, in all probability, didn't know.
 He didn't tie in his remarks di- rectly with the debate on draft leg islation. But they apparently have had their effect on that issue.

Campaign Violations

There is good reason why Re- publican leaders are suddenly de- manding that the Senate probe of the Maryland senatorial campaign be terminated forthwith Reason is that the sluggish Justice Depart ment is beginning to prick up it's ears about possible violation of the corrupt practices act.
 This was. an act put on the statute books in order to keep huge amounts of money from being dumped into Congressional and Presidential campaigns. The law was written for the excellent rea- son that when a candidate or po- litical party receives too much cough from any one source-whe- ther big corporation, executive or labcr union-that Senator tends to he owned by his financial packer.
 He votes in the Senate not for the people who voted for him, but for those who contributed to him.
 Tn recent years both Democrats and Republicans have been thumb ing their noses at this law. But with the recent cleanups of Demo- cratic Senators Fullbright, Kefau- yer ct al, which have hit the Dem- ccrats, there is increasing senti- ment for enforcing the corrupt practices act-which may also hit some Republicans.
 Tn Maryland for instance, Charles Futile of Rustless Steel gave S8,000 to the COP Butler campaign against Senator Tydings. This was in violation of the law, because S5,000 is the top limit of any single contribution. But after the $8,000 item was filed and Buffers head quarters realized that this violated the law, they hurriedly claimed that part of the s8,000 was just a loan"
 Then, on February 27, long after the November election, Jon Jonkel Chicago-loaned manager for But ler's campaign, suddenly discovered that he had forgotten to file around S27,000 in contributions.
 It is significant that Jonkers memory was jogged-five months after the elections-by the fact that Democratic investigator for the Monroney committee had dis f7yered S27,300 worth of expendi- t. IS which the Republicans failed

COLUMBUS, o., Oct. 26 (INS)
The Ohio Supreme Court held
today that conviction on a federal
charge Of income tax evasion is
grounds for revoking the Ohio Ii
cense Of a medical Doctor.
The court thus upheld the revo-
cation by the State Medical Board
of the license Of DR.. julius Raab,
of Cleveland.
The board acted on the ground
that Raab was convicted o" income
tax evasion and therefore was
Equity of felony" within the
meaning ofthe Ohio law which pro-
vides for license revocation.
Raab appealed to the courts,
contending that the offense was
a felony under the Ohio statues.

N. J. Federation Halls Court Rule
Killing Utility Anfi-Sfrike Law

Newark, N. 1.-THE New Jersey
State Federation Of Labor hailed
the U. s. Supreme Courts decision
killing the Wisconsin public utility
anti-strike law as the death-knell
for similar measure in New Jer-
sey which the state AFL has op-
posed since passage.
The state of New Jersey had
joined with the state Of Wisconsin
in the battle before the Supreme
Court to uphold the law. But New
Jersey state officials have so far
refused to concede defeat.
The y. S. high court ruled only
on the contention by the AFL
Amalgamated Association of Street
Electric Railway and Motor Coach
Employees that the Wisconsin law
cOnflicted with the Taft Hartley
Act. The case involved the Mil
waukee Electric Railway and
Transportation Co.
The decision apparently nulli-
fies similar laws in New Jersey,
Pennsylvania, Michigan, Ma a.
chusetts, Indiana, Florida, Kansas,
Nebraska, North Dakota and Vir-
ginia.
Vincent J. Murphy, state AFL
secretary-treasurer, said in a state
ment on behalf Of the officers and
executive board:
"The Supreme Courts decision
not only nullifies the existing New
Jersey anti-strike law, but also
fully vindicates the unrelenting op-
position of the state AFL to this
vicious, ill-conceived and anti-labor
statute.
"Our contention was similar to
that of the Wisconsin appellants:
that the law enacted in their state
involuntary servitude upon
the workers and invaded the right
of freedom to contract, and made
arbitration supersede
the more desirable method of col
lective bargaining.
"We frequently cited the indis-
putable record that there had been
no serious strikes in the utility
field prior to the enactment of the

Rieve replied that "bona fide coll

end the dispute.

for selfish reasons-the trade gen

dangerous p er i m n t 50 with
manpower might lead to labor con-
scription despite the fact that in
World War ii "free American labor
proved beyond any doubt that it
can outproduce conscripted labor"
The final answer dealt with rep
resentation on defense agencies,
Green said. He declared the ma
tibnal emergency must be met with
teamwork which in turn must rest
on public confidence. He insisted
labor couldn't have confidence in
defense agencies which take only
"the big business point of view"
He said that labor representation
so far had been "merely window
dressing" and that defense decis-
ions failed to reflect labor's view
in any way.
"Labor's aim," Green said, ais to
make America stronger, not weak
er. Our desire is to halt initiation,
not to promote it. Our basic pro-
test is that the American peoplel
are not getting an effective stabil-
ization program" He pointed out
that "labor will let nothing inter-
fere with the full discharge of itsI
responsibilities in the huge defense
program" But while the nation is
against the military
threat imposed by Communism, it'll
risks collapse because of its failure
to halt initiation, he said.
