U.S. Cutback On
Oil Imports Enters
Canada Campaign
EDMONTON, Alta, M—Liberal
leader Lester Pearson Wednesday
night injected the issue of U. S.
restrictions on oil imports into
Canada’s parliamentary cam
paign.
In a speech in Canada’s oil and
gas country, Pearson said that if
he wins control of Parliament in
the March 31 voting and oil ship
ments to the United States are
still restricted, he will take steps
to create a market for western
Canada’s oil in Montreal.
Pearson said that the United
States cannot seek Canada’s co
operation in defense matters
while restricting imports of Can
adian oil. The United States re
cently cut oil imports 15 per cent
to make sure its own oil industry
remains active in case of war.
Pearson charged that Prime
Minister John Diefenbaker’s Con
servative government had nego
tiated a joint air defense agree
ment with the United States “in
a slap-happy, casual way” which
put the Canadian air force under
the command of an American
general.
At Moncton, B.C., Conservative
Foreign Minister Sidney Smith
said a Conservative government |
would see to it that Canada re
tains full control of her political
and economic future under the
air defense agreement.
“We are not going to allow
ourselves to be shoved around i
by any American general,” Smith j
told a news conference.

Just A Cough?
A cough may. be a nervous man
nerism in some people. Too many
coughs from the other side of the
footlights tell the actor the audi
ence is bored. Some coughs are
merely a tickle in the throat.
But a persistent cough - one
you can’t shake off - may be the
sign of something that requires
medical attention, such as bronch
itis or bronchiectasis.
Bronchitis is an
inflammation of
the bronchi, the
] tubes that carry
l air down to the
lungs. Bronchiec
tasis is a dilation
- or stretching -
of those airways,
m often with abscess
formation.
Of the two, bronchiectasis is
tougher for doctors to treat suc
cessfully. In some cases of bronchi
ectasis, physicians may advise
surgical removal of a section of the
lung.
Happily, with the advent of
modern drugs, doctors have been
able to help many patients with
antibiotics such as penicillin and
s >°ntomycin. Hoping to find a
mo.o satisfactory treatment, a
British Medical Research Council
Committee recently carried on a
controlled study of 122 bronchi
ectasis patients in seven medical
centers and reported their findings
in the British Medical Journal.
Divided into three groups, all
the patients improved as a result
of hospital care. Patients who re
ceived penicillin fared better than
those who received no antibiotics.
Rut the best results were in the
t "d group of patients who were
tri ed with the powerful anti
biotic Terramycin. In these pa
tients, fever and infection sub
sided more quickly, they were con
fined to bed for shorter periods,
and were able to go to work sooner
than patients in the other groups.
^uch studies, of course, are of
i nse benefit in the medical
P sion’s battle against stub
bo. ceases like bronchiectasis.
But equal importance is the
patient who takes a persistent
cough to he doctor early enough
for prop^„ diagnosis and treat
ment.

Senate Votes To Raise
3-Cent Mail to 5 Cents
WASHINGTON, OP) —The Sen
ate, after nailing a temporary 5
cent letter stamp into a postal
rate bill, pushed ahead to con
sider rate increases on other
classes of mail.
Splitting largely on party lines,
the Senate voted 49-42 to retain
in the bill a provision to raise the
present 3-cent rate to 5 cents for
nonlocal letters. The 5-cent stamp
would be in effect for three years.
The vote was a substantial vic
tory for President Eisenhower
who had asked for the 5 - cent
stamp on out-of-town mail, but
had requested that it be made
permanent. Republicans held
their ranks almost intact to keep
the provision in the bill. Most
Democrats back an unsuccessful
move to eliminate the section.
However, the matter still will
have to be threshed out in con
ference with the House which
voted last year for a 4-cent letter
rate.
