THE COMMON COLD At this time of year it is not pleasant to report is still baffled by the common cold. vears of exhautive study of this common enemy of mankind, the Common Cold Research Unit at Harvard Hospital, London, reports it has learned that the cold is a virus, that it isn’t caught from draughts, wet feet or-drenched clothes, and that antihistamines will not prevent or cure it. reason that the cold defies researchers is because not enough people will volunteer to be infected for the Since the London Cold Research Unit in 1946 started its station—a group of prefabricated huts on the historic plains of Salisbury people have volunteered for plus cold inoculation; but tests on a much that science After 4% only advancement of science. —2987 stay, er scale are needed. into the picture. done for Alaska. represent money.

The Institute sponsors advertising, stories, in- formation, pamphlets and other types of * material which will all go to disseminate more information on the salmon industry itself and consequently on the Territory of Alaska. It is a good plan. been. painted as the ogre of Alaska, the so-called vested interest that seeks to exploit the Territory, the industrial octopus that strangles the development It has long been common practice to make the salmon industry the whipping boy and the root of all evil that happens to Alaska. Tt is too often forgotten that the salmon industry employs 25,000 people a year in Alaska, that it pays some 80 per cent of the Territory’s tax bill, that in Southeast Alaska especially, it is the reason for sev- eral small industries such as cold storage plants, wire factories, by-products plants and logging. It is fitting that the salmon industry, through its newly-formed Alaska Salmon Institute, blow its own horn a little and tell the people of ‘Alaska how it fits with the Alaska salmon industry, them to the mutual benefit of all. The Alaska Salmon Institute, which is the liason between Alaska and the industry, will no doubt be glad to haye suggestions come of it on methods of aiding and helving Alaska. (Anchorage News) The salmon industry has long Among its earlier enterprises is the publication of a very attractive folder, concise and interesting which will no doubt do much to publicize Alaska.

It would also be a mistake for 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 bits 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- vicions joining in a gigantic allied parade up the Champs Elysees. Campaign Violations ‘There is a good reason why Re- publican leaders are suddenly de- manding that the Senate probe of the Maryland senatorial campaign ke terminated forthwith. Reason is that the sluggish Justice Depart- ment is beginning to prick up its 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 laber union—that Senator tends to ke owned by his financial backer. He votes in the Senate not for the people who voted for him, but for those who contributed to him. In recent years both Democrats and Republicans have been thumb- 7 their noses at this law. But th the recent cleanups of Demo- cratic Senators Fullbright, Kefau- ver et al, which have hit the Dem- cerats, there is increasing senti- ment for enforcing the corrupt practices act—which may also hit some Republicans. In Maryland for instance, Charles Tuttle of Rustless Steel gave $8,000 to the GOP-Butler campaign against Senat Tydings. This was in violation of the law, because $05,000 is the top limit of any single contribution. But after the $8,000 item was filed and Butler's head- quarters realized that this violated the law, they hurriedly claimed that part of the $8,000 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 $27,000 in contributions. It is significant that Jonkel's memory was jogged—five after the elections—by the months | fact | first class to corporals, Curtis E. to report. This was on February 17. On February 18 a meeting was held in the hotel-apartment of Senator Brewster, chairman of the GOP Senate campaign committee, atten- ded by Senator Butler, his attorney, and an attorney for the Chicago Tribune's Washington Times-Her- ald. The latter newspaper _was master-minding the anti-Tydings campaign. It was just after this that But- ler's campaign manager ((also sup- plied him by the Chicago Tribune aroup) suddenly remembered $27,- 300 of contributions that had slip- ed his mind back in November. urriedly 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 juring the 80th GOP-controlled Congress, the Senate held an elec- tion probe in Maryland which las- ted two years. That time, however, they were - investigating Senator O'Conor, a Democrat. Now the Democrats are investigating a Re- publican—though for - only three months, not two years. Cruisers Win Enemies Latin-American diplomats are w00 polite to talk about it publicly, but there has been a lot of private arousing 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 crulsers which Argentina got not only completely nullifieq the effect of the gestures to Brazil and Chile but made them scre 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 its 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 its enemies.” NATIONAL GUARD PROMOTIONS; ETC. Three members of the territorial National Guard recently appeared before a board for promotion and appointment. Recommended for ad- vancement were Maj. D. W. Dean to lieutenant colonel and appoint- ment as battalion commander and First Sgt. Clarence C. Mosher to Warrant Officer. Capt. Larry Par- ker appeared before the board for appointment as battalion executive officer. Recent enlistments in Headquar- ters, Headquarters and Service Co. 208th National Guard Battalion (Sep) were Private Walter Butts and Private Vincent Isturis, Jr. Advancements in the organization are ‘as follows: Robert L.

Last week's 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- UMT 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. is The normal weight of the earth’s air above a square inch of surface at sea level is 15 pounds. ACROSS 1. Band for supportiny g hore™ ,.
