ees Three Scientists Report Tests Pointing To Quick New Methods Of Treating Severe Burns By FRANK CAREY ‘WASHINGTON (#—Three Detroit @cientists today reported tests pointing to quick new methods of @iagnosing and treating severe burns. Dr. John J. Prendergast and two associates of the Chrysler Corp.'s Medical Department reported in the Archives of Surgery that the test of burn severity centers around the blood protein called gamma globulin. They said there is a great in- crease of gamma globulin (G.G.) in the blood of seriously burned patients, a very slight increase in patients with minor burns. G.G. content can be determined by a few electrical test. In the case of serious burns, they also found a decrease in the concentration of albumin—another blood protein—which suggested thrt improved treatment might * Hi United States Cool Toward Proposal British Want Political Advisory Team To Aid Gen. Clark With Korean War Decisions WASHINGTON (# — The United States reportedly is cool to a Brit- ish suggestion that a team of po- litical advisors be named to assist Gen. Mark Clark, supreme United Nations commander in Korea. The State Department is said to! call for transfusions of blood con-|be against creating any formal taining purified human serum al-|new advisory group in the Far bumin. Gamma globulin first made ma- jor news as a measles preventive. More recently, there were indica- tions it could help prevent infantile paralysis, and a major test of its possible effectiveness in polio cases is underway in Texas. The Detroit researchers said their observations on G. G. as a possible index of burns severity were made during a special elec- trically aided analysis of the pro- tein content of blood taken from victims of burns. Noting that tests of eight pa- tients indicated that in moderate to severe burns there is a decrease of albumin—even hough the pa- tients meanwhile had been given of whole blood—the doctors suggested that possibly whole blood, of itself, may be in- adequate in the transfusion treat- ment of burns. Their study suggests, they said, that treatment could be improved if, in addition to whole biood— which is now rated the best trans- fusion material for burns—patients are also given purified human serum albumin or some other blood substitute which would tend to re- | place lost albumin.

But top American officials told a reporter today they are consider- ing closer liaison between Clark and the American ambassadors in Japan and Korea, as a means of preventing military decisions that could result in world-wide political repercussions. Informed diplomatic officials said Britain's minister of state, Selwyn Lloyd, suggested the idea of a political guidance team when he talked with Secretary Acheson here several weeks ago. Lloyd reportedly argued such a group, on which Britain would be represented, would make sure Clark and top American military leaders in Korea realized the full international implications of mili- tary decisions they might make. A political guidance team, he felt, might have avoided the flare- up between Britain and the United States which resulted from Ameri- can bombing of Communist power | plants in North Korea without first | notifying the British. The State Department, it was learned, takes the view that ade- quate machinery already exists for providing Clark with all the politi- eal advice he needs. Clark is re- portedly in close contact with Rob- ert Murphy, Anterican ambassador in Tokyo. Gen. James Van Fleet, military commander in Korea, is Said to be in constant contact with John J.

Nearly 50,000 railroaders have, been furloughed since the strike began June 2. They’re part of the 422,405 workers in allied industries | ; off the job because of the steel strike. The Pennsylvania Railroad, which laid off 10,000 men June 5, says it is being forced to fur- lough “several thousand” addition- | 3 al workers. A spokesman declared, “The sive effect on traffic . . .. Now it is cutting off shipments from many concerns which depend on steel for their own production.” The same situation holds true on many other railroads through- out the country. Many are moving only passengers, mail, express and perishables as the production of durable goods is curtailed because of the steel strike. Meanwhile, representatives of the iron ore industry say they plan to ask the Steelworkers if a plan can be worked out to move iron ore now stockpiled in the Upper Lakes region. All ore shipments, along with iron ore mining, have been suspended and industry of- ficials are fearful an iron ore shggt- age next winter will cause steel’ plants to shut down. With no sign of q settlement in the walkout there are these de- velopments: John Grajeiar, director: of USW District No. 12 at Sharon, Pa., has asked Sharon Steel Corp., employ- ing 7,000, to restme negotiations Friday. Sharon Steel already has rejected a union offer to settle the walkout on the same terms agreed to by Pittsburgh Steel, the first comparatively large company to sign a contract since the strike began. The Pittsburgh Steel contract provides a modified union shop whereby employes must join the union but can withdraw between the 20th and 30th day of employ- ment. About 35 smaller companies, employing approximately 50,000 men, have signed similar agree- ments. But the basic steel industry is objecting to any contract pro- viding compulsory union member- ship, Helicopters Aid Alaskan Survey ANCHORAGE, Alaska. —().— | contacts be utilized more frequent- | Helicopters are making possible the continent's biggest scale photography and surveying job.
