More Choice Offered
To National Housing
Tenants in New Rule

The National Capital Housing
Authority today announced a
change in its regulations to give
it's tenants and applicants more
latitude in selecting living quar-
ters.
The rule change obviously was
designed to avoid complications
which may result from a decision
to open certain NCHA proper
ties on a non-Segregated basis.
The new regulation will allow
a family to accept or refuse a
dwelling that is offered. Many
transfers are due to the regula-
ton which transfers families
which have outgrown the size
Of their dwelling to another.
Penalty to Refuse.
In the past the family has been
required to accept the first ade-
quate vacancy. Refusal meant
that the family was dropped from
the waiting list and could not re-
apply for a year.
AS a result many applicants ac-
cepted the first dwelling offered,
then asked for a transfer imme-
diately. Staff work was increased
accordingly.
Three Properties Cited.
The action today followed a de-
cision last month to open for nom
segregated use three properties
Stanton Dwellings, Lily Ponds and
Carrpllsburg No. 2.
Applicants and transferees. re-
|gardless of race, will be offered
vacancies on the integrated prop
|erties. the NCHA sad. The new
rule would allow those who don't
want to move into the three prop
|erties to refuse without suffering
a loss of rights.

Use of ChIoron1ycetin to Treat
Minor Cases Cited in S Deaths

Use of the drug chloromycetin
for treatment of minor ailments
has been blamed for five deaths in
this area in recent months.
The five died in George Wash
ington University Hospital and
Walter Reed Hospital from aplas-
Tic anemia despite the fact that
they had the best attention avail
able. The patients received blood
transfusions, cortisone and other
medicines.
Histories of the five cases were
reported in the current issue of
the Journal of the American Medi-
cal Association by DR.. Jack j.
Rheingold, clinical instructor in
medicine at GWU, and 1t. Carroll
L. Squirting, M. D., laboratory
expert at Walter Reed.
Meanwhile, Government and
private agencies are studying the
values and disadvantages of
chloromycetin, which has proved
effective against many serious dis
eases.
Doctors Warned About It.
Several weeks ago the medical
association warned it's 100000
members against indiscriminate
use of the new drug. 1t was re-
ported at the time that some
patients, after being treated with
the drug. developed aplastic
anemia, which affects the blood
making qualities of the bone mar
row.
The cases here included 81
housewife who had been
treated at her home in the Middle
West for what was believed to
have been a common cold. She

were statements we have been
expecting to hear since the estab-
Iishment of the Philippine Con-
suIate in Seattle, but which have
been left unsaid for some time.
Consul Brillantes gave us the
impression of typical Filipino
orator = eloquent and almost
faultless in his diction and de-
livery, patriotic in his sentiments,
and humble in his admission of
self-insufficiency. That is also the
type of the Filipino politician,
and we wish to hope Hortencio
j. Brillantes does not belong to
that category.
But there is more than
mile distance between what we
profess and what we practice.
1t is too early to- make an ap-
praisal of the new cOnsul--we
have Just met him and heard
him speak. We would like, how
ever, to hope that Consul Bril-
Iantes will not have any occa-
