The controversy persists re-
garding the value of antihista-
mimic drugs in controlling the
common cold. Proponents con-
tend that these drugs are helpful
only during the first "a to 49
hours of the cold and that they
must be given in sufficiently large
amounts. According to Goo d
Housekeeping magazine, the anti
histaminics certainly do not cure
colds, but they may be helpful
to check them if properly used.

There are no actual hospital re-
ports on Manteo Lions or Wan
cheese Ruritans as a result Of their
basketball clash for the March of
Dimes last week. For a time it
was feared that the $3.50 they
raised for the polio fund might
be consumed to provide arnica
and tape for the players. That
was avoided, however, by most of
the players simply lying low for
a day or two and quietly counting
the pain signals from muscles
that they didn't know existed be-
fore.

SWISS kvkLhMCkES
CONTINUE; Kill Il

GENEVA, Switzerland, Feb. IA
New snow avalanches roared
disastrously down alpine mountain
sides today for the second time in
three weeks, killing at least Il and
possibly % persons in Switzerland
and Italy.
Continuing snow falls, alternating
with thaws, heightened the danger
of more slides in the Swiss, Italian,
Austrian and French Alps, where
about 1870 persons died under ava
lanches in late January
Fourteen and possibly IS persons
lost their lives in crunching ava
lanches which wrecked two villages
in eastern Switzerland in the last
40 hours. Seven persons were be-
lieved killed and 81 were injured
in avalarches or accidents due to
the weather near Italy's frontier
with France and Switzerland.
Danger of further avalanches was
rated maximum" by Swiss authori-
ties. More than 100 feet OF snow
repeatedly buried some Swiss noun
tain roads. Huge pileups halted
operations on the Gotthard Rail-
road line, the main line from east
ern Switzerland to Italy.

be considered close representation by anyones defni-
tioD To get the House back to the standards the
Founding Fathers used for representation would be
impossible When the nation began each member

davis House would have to have some 2,440 members
1t couldn't move.
AS it is in fact, Une House is unwieldly. Too
much of its business to be done in committees
and so too much is done fundamentally, outside
the spotlight of publicity. There might well be
greater degree of responsibility in the House if the
number of representatives were reduced. Then no
single member could hope to lose himself in the great
cloakroom shuttle.

Pipeline Politics

Most recent move by Wallgren
which is against Truman policy is
to OK. a S58,000,000 natural gas
pipeline to New England for Texas
Eastern-Which cooperates with
and helps to protect Koppers Coke,
a part of the Andrew Mellon in
dustrial empire. This line was OPP
posed by both Democrat and Re
publican leaders in New England,
including Gov. Sherman Adams and
Senator Tobey of New Hampshire,
both Republicans; and Senators Nc
Mahon of Connecticut and Green
of Rhode Island, both Democrats.
They favor the cheaper $38, 900, 900
northeaster pipeline to New Eng
land, claim New England cannot
afford to be saddled with two lines
and such heavy expense.
Note-a lot of politics-both
Democratic and Republicans
mixed up in this power commission
maneuvering. On the Democratic
side, it was Phillips Petroleum
which conveniently put its private
plane at the disposal of Democratic
bigwigs to fly to Kansas City for
the Bill Boyle dinner. On the Re-
publican side it is Phillips Petro-
leum which hires Neil Tolman as
its Washington lobbyist. Tolman
former campaign manager for COZ
Sen. Styles Bridges of New Hamp-
shire. is a potent means of reach
ing the Federal Power Commission
For Bridges packs powerful influ-
ence with Nelson Lee Smith, also
from New Hampshire and COZ
member of the commission.

new SALMON TAX
BILL COMING Up
SAYS ENGEBDETR

Sen. Gunnard M Engebreth (R-
Anchorage says he plans to intro
duce new canned salmon tax
bill in the Alaska legislature this
week.
Engebreth said the measure will
propose a new levy Of three quar-
tiers of a cent a pound on kings,
and reds; half a cent on pinks and
others.
Revenues, estimated at $1,000,00O
annually, would be earmarked sole
ly for school purposes, he said.
The present canned salmon tax,
based on raw fish value, produced
$1,4oo,O00 last year
Engebreth said the proposed new
tax is in line with proposals OF the
third division Republican organi-
cation. He noted that canneries also
are subject to a fish trap tax but
are exempt from the Alaska Busl-
ness License tax.
The proposed new TAX propao-y
win Just about offset the general
property tax which was held in
valid in District Court, Engebreth
said.
He added he will introduce bill
calling for repeal of the property
tax. A similar repeater already has
been introduced in the House.
