Cabinet Critic

II the Kennedy appoint
ment of Douglas Dillon as
Secretary Of Treasury really
means fewer hot little social
istic hands on our tax
money, we're all for 1t with
out caring in the least
whether he be Republican,
Democrat or even Hottentot.
However, in all fairness 1t
does seem less than Surpris-
ing that the two highly
politically-vulnerable hot
spots Of Treasury and De-
tense went to registered Re-
publicans carrying an accep-
table label" According to
news reports, Mr.. Mcnamara
not only supported Mr.. Ken
nedy's election but Labor
Boss Reuther supported him.
Mr.. Dillon. too, is being
described as Of liberal"
philosophy.
Remembering the hackers
Of that all-out Socialistic
dream Of a Democratic plat
form and the shameful and
prolonged hassle and final
defeat Of President Eisen-
hower's two highly RESPONSE
+ BILE nominees, Admiral
Strauss and Clare Luce
Booth, we seriously doubt
that our raucous so-called
liberal" pressure groups
would permit anyone wearing
q conservative" label to be
confirmed. or at least with
out great dlficulty.
Even so. we're still a bit
puzzled by Mr.. Kennedy's
choice Of one Of President
Eisenhower's top-level State
Department policy-makers
for such an all-important
post. We naturally assumed
that all that moaning and
groaning about American
prestige" leaking away
meant our Democrat friends
believed our State Depart
ment was one big sieve.

Uncle Sam 'Pressured'

Three cheers for the brave
lady Of the United States
delegation to the United Ma
tions who stood up and
cheered the passing Of the
"end Of colonialism" resolu-
ton on which she, and the
rest Of the United States
delegation, were ordered. to
abstain because Of Mr.. Mac
millan's pressure on President
Eisenhower. It's a pretty
sorry day when pressure can
be brought upon this country
so that we will not stand up
for our principles. No won
der neutralS have their
doubts and our friends
waver. This brilliant stroke
Of diplomacy has certainly
succeeded in putting our
world prestige further in the
red for 1860.
Certainly We should not
teopardize our European al
lance by acceding to every
whim Of the Afro-Asian bloc:
but neither should we jeop-
ardize our already tenuous
ties with the neutrals. When
will we realize that Europe
needs NATO as much for
their protection, or more so,
than we do for ours? When
will We realize that the real
struggle between democracy
and communism. between
freedom and totalitarianism,
Is taking place in the newly
emerging and uncommitted
nations who look to our
rounding Fathers for in
Spiration, to the government
and people of the United
States for leadership in the
cause Of freedom, and get
nothing but pious words not
even backed UP by a favor
able vote on q UN resolution? ?
Perhaps the new adniinis-
tration will be willing to
stand before the world and
elucidate the principles OF
our Declaration of Independ-
ence and Constitution upon
which this Nation was built,
in which we as a people be-
lieve and on which our for
eign policies should be based.
Then friend, foe and neutral
will see an Uncle Sam with q
backbone. Perhaps. once
again, we will be able to say !:
This is what we believe;
this is our policy; take it or
leave it." I doubt If we'll lose
any friends; If we do they
aren't worth having. Maybe
We'll gain some friends, and
If not friendship, certainly
respect, from the rest of the
world.

white blood cells is the pri-
mary cause Of fever.
It is released by bacterial
fever-producing drugs and
acts very rapidly on the tenn
perature-regulating center Of
the brain.
Experiments demonstrating
this have just been reported
through the National Acad-
emy Of Sciences by DR.. w.
Barry Wood Of Johns Hop
kins Medical School and his
associates, Drs. Donald L.
Bernstein and Gale w. Rafter.
Fever, they explain. is
probably the most common
manifestation Of disease.
This has been known for
more than 20 centuries. yet
the precise mechanism has
remained unknown. There
has been q general theory
that 1t Is due to action on
the brain of various toxins
secreted by disease -produc-
ing bacteria.
Injections Induce Fever
Fever can be produced by
injections Of these toxins.
Eventually, however, a re-
sistance is built up so that
these injections produce no
effect. About ten years ago,
they point out. a quite diff
ferent kind Of fever-produc-
ing agent was isolated from
certain types of white blood
cells. 1t acted more rapidly
than any Of the bacteria
toxins and the fever pro-
duced ran a quite different
course. No tolerance was
produced by repeated injec-
tionS.
The experiments reported
now indicate strongly that
the function of the bacterial
agents is secondary. They
act by releasing the white
blood cell agent. the precise
nature Of which remains
unknown.

Blasts ANA

SIldn hldl coOCo NCAuuNCA
of the Senate Antitrust and
opoly Subcommittee
plans a two-fisted crusade
against the prof1teering pill
hucksters so cynically en-
trenched in the healing arts.
BY neutralizing price-fixing
patent monopolies and de-
manding proof Of fabulous
merit in mere juggling Of the
alphabet to confuse both
doctor and patient, Senator
Kefauver hopes to restore
sanity and equity to the pre-
scription trade.
AS things are now, respon-
Sible political leaders in our
Congress are baf1ed by the
fact that in every attempt to
act as friend and protector
to the consumer and patrons
of the healing arts, our Amer
ican Medical Association al
ways seems to be the defense
attorney for proflteering de-
PENDANTS. No matter whether
1t is the prof1t-motivated car
riers Of commercial health
security insurance who re-
Ject the poor risks and
want to monopolize the good
ones until they are broke, or
the multi-million dollar
drug vendors who exploit the
sick and gullible with TV
hyperbole and under-the-
counter shell games, Congress
always finds our ANA either
posting bond or demanding q
directed verdict Of acquittal.
The conscientious legislator
whose Investigations have un-
covered unScrupulous villainy
parading in clerical garb
never quite understands why
professed healers either pay
blackmail or wilfully commit
theological perjury. Why is
our ANA always aligned
against the patients who, dur
ing their period Of solvency,
give the doctors of our Ma
tion their bread and butter?
The answer is simpler than
the solution.
Basically, 1t is a matter of
built-in, SacroSanct conflicts
OF interest. Without the rev.
enues from advertising Law
ishly provided by the highly
competitive, overstocked, fat
cat pharmaceutical indus
tries, 1t is doubtful If a single
one Of our professional Jour-
nails could be published. This
includes the Journal Of the
ANA. Every miracle drug
that ever has achieved GER
tification and acceptance by
the medical profession did it
In working partnership with
organized medicine.
There is a vitally necessary
partnership between phar-
maceutical research and med
ical progress. Without such
teamwork and cooperation.
our healing arts would lack
both modern suf1iciency and
progressive drive. But there
is an ever-present evil in this
undeniable tie-in between
pharmaceutical research and
pharmaceutical self interest:
once a miracle or lifesaving
drug has been officially rec
ognized by organized medi-
cine, the built-in conflicts of
interest compel both to
compromise ethics. The
pharmaceutical creator of the
new drug uses every mo-
nopolistic device and strata
gem to maintain high prices
and to preserve and protect
its healing preference from
duplication or substitution.
And. the medical profession
must not forget that with
out advertising revenues, Of
f1clal medical publications
would become the unwelcome
burden of impossible member
snip dues. No Thoughtful stu
cent OF medical economics
envies Senator Kefauver.

Notes Along the Road: II
is only q brief time out Of
Homestead, Fla, before the
Keys road begins to run
through the m a n grove
swamps with the wide drain
age canals along each side.
It is best, I think. in late aft
ernoon when the falling sun
Is golden on the waters Of
the drainage passage Of the
inletS.
There are two or three va
rieties Of white herons which
feed In the canals. Darwin,
who wrote Of the adaptability
Of species, would. I believe.
enjoy seeing them. They
have learned that theJswiftly
moving cars will not hurt
them. And so, as the auto
mobiles whoosh by, leaving
buffeting winds behind them
which shake the grasses and
leaves of the mangroves, the
herons hunt. They are utter
ly oblivious Of man, going by
at IS miles an hour with his
mind on the distant motel,
the-before-dinner martini, or
the need to make it all the
way to Key West.
The heronS wait in grace
full immobility, breaking it
to strike with aweSome accu-
racy when a small fish or
frog ventures by. They never
so much as look at man IN
his powered machines pass
ing but o few feet from the
canals.
Nature Has Adapted
In the close by lagoons
and inletS, the fishing hawks
sit and rest from their hunt
ing and the ducks swim
about, rippling the sun-gold
waters. Man is near. So is
his mighty machine which
shakes the. edges Of the
swamp in his passing. But
nature has adapted. And
though one of the triumphs
of the machine age is close
at hand, moving on q road
laid down ct great sacrifice
Of money and men. the birds
have learned to ignore it

Summer Emphasizes
Beauty Shortcomings
sy VIVIAN BROWN
AP NeNsfeatures Writer


Is there a girl who doesn't have
a beauty problem? Wen bet not,
judging from our mail bag that
gets heavier with warmer weather.
One girl worries about her bath
ing suit. Should she go all out this
year and wear a bikini, she asks.
II am rather plumb around the
hips, and my thights are little
heavy, otherwise my development
is good. fell In love with bikini
suit. There is not much to 1t, and
my father is shocked at the idea.
But II II is the fashion, and all the
girls are wearing the style, it
shouldn't look too daring on the
beach. Should it?'
Lose Some Weight
1t depends. / haven't seen "all
the girls wearing them," however,
and / don't know that l would be
the first to wear one unless ! bad
a perfect figure. Your parents are
good judges OF such things. I don't
believe they would suggest that you
abandon the idea unless it is unbe-
coming to you. Why don't you try
to lose the extra pounds before you
wear the suit publicly?
How can / lose weight around
my derriere? / do not sit down
very much, but ] seem to be well
padded in that area" reads let
ter from a high school senior.
One popular exercise for this
problem Is "the scooter"
Sit on the floor with arms and
legs folded. Now walk" across
the floor in this position, propell-
Ing yourself as you go. Another
exercise involves sitting in that po-
sition and rocking back and forth
on your backside. There Is moth
ing so good for reducing this area,
however. as walking. IL you would
walk briskly for 20 minutes each
morning and afternoon, you would
be amazed at the rsults that may
be achieved.
Here's another one from a girl
who signs her letter "Freckles".
II am redhead. | want to get
more sunshine as / need the vita

that / get burned badly whenever
/ go into the sun. Is there any
thing you can suggest that will
help me tan without burning?"
Consult Experts
,Redheads should consult Inedi-
cal authorities on the subject, as
they are likely to burn no matter
what precautions they take without
professional guidance.
One hedhead found that five min
utes in the sun to begin with, and
then being outdoors under an um-
brella or sun hat helped give her
a little tan. She found 1t neces-
sary to use a great deal of suntan
lotion, however.
''Do you think one should change
the color of her lipstick in sum
mer?'', goes another letter. 81

not look too bad If you blotted 1t
OFF carefully. Pink or shades of
coral are better for summer wear
than deep red lipsticks. but IL you
