SAN FRANCISCO. Nov. II
(AP).-A Brooklyn professor Of

try the use of one of the worlds
oldest and most therapeutic
medicines-alcohol.
In small doses alcohol is a
superb tranquillizer, said DR..
William Dock. In larger doses
it is a good Sedatiye.
Unlike other tranquillizers
and sedatives. alcohol has al
most no harmful side effects
and rarely leads to addiction
when prescribed in managing
disease, DR.. Dock said.
The risk of excessive depend
ence on alcohol needs proper
perspective, he said in a re-
port prepared for the Sympo-
SUM on Alcohol and Civiliza-
ton at the University Of Cali
fornia School of Medicine.
Perspective Necessary
Such perspective is necessary,
he said. "in an age and land
where therapeutic and civilizing
functions Of alcohol are con-
cealed by its abuse among those
crippled in the urban rat race"
DR.. Dock, a former professor
at Stanford University, is pro-
fessor at the State University
of New York Downstate Medical
Center in Brooklyn. His study
on the clinical value of alcohol
was one Of six reports in the
opening session of the three
day symposium.
Experts from Sweden. Fin
land, England and Italy arc
among members of the SYM
postum faculty.
DR.. Dock said Is years in "the
wilderness of national prohibi-
ton" and the exposure of patent
medicines with alcohol as their
only effective component helped
create the American medical
professions prejudice against
alcohol as a valuable clinical
weapon.

Before a muted thrUng of
more than 1000 seated under

President said peace in the
world can only be achieved
with patience and persever-
ance and courage"
No Easy Path
There is no way, he empha-
sized, to maintain the from
tiers of freedom without cost
and commitment and risk" and
there is mo swift and easy
path to peace in our genera
ton"
Then the 44-year-old Presi-
den, with serious mien, added:
But let no nation confuse
our perseverance and patience
with fear of war or unwilling
ness to meet our responsible
ties. We can not save ourselves
by abandoning those who are
associated with us, or rejecting
our responsibilities.
In the end, the only way
to maintain the peace is to be
prepared in the final extreme
to fight for our country-and to
mean it."
