THE TRAVEL BOOM
Americans have become a much-traveled people—
not only at home, but abroad.
Reports indicate that this year all foreign travel
records are being smashed. The overseas ship and air
lines are running at peak capacty as armies of Ameri
cans satisfy their desire to see the countries of the Old
World.
There’s another form of travel of which we don’t
hear so much—but which is growing apace and is vital
to the welfare of this country and the entire free world.
That travel is being done by goods, not people. We are
a major importing nation—both of certain types of con
sumer goods, and of srategic national defense materials
which either do not exist at all or are found in insuffi
cient quantity within our own borders.
We are also a major exporter. All manner of agri
cultural and manufactured products go to overseas
markets in a huge and endless stream. Whether they
know it or not, the farmer in Kansas* and the auto
worker in Detroit—to take but two examples out of
thousands that could be cited—directly or indirectly
get a part of their livelihood from foreign trade. They
may never have seen an ocean—yet the oceans are high
ways of commerce which help keep the American econ
omy running in top gear.
Virtually all imports and exports, of course, must
travel in merchant ships. It would be folly, in this
chaotic world we live in, to depend on the ships of even
the friendliest of foreign nations—their services could
be denied to us overnight. That’s why we must protect
and strengthen the American merchant marine—in the
interest of the national defense and of our material
prosperity alike.

Yugoslavia and
Philippines Split
2-Year U.N. Term
UNITED NATIONS, N.Y., tff»—
Yugoslavia was elected to a seat
on the U.N. Security Council yes
terday as part of a lottery deal
under which Yugoslavia and the
Philippines would split a two-year
term.
The action of the General As
sembly ended a record-breaking
deadlock in which 36 ballots were
cast during the past two months.
It also cleared the way for a
quick adjournment of the Assem
bly’s 1955 session.
The vote yesterday was 43 for
Yugoslavia, 11 for the Philippines,
one for Finland and one for Swe
den. This was five more than the
required two-thirds majority of
those present and voting.
While the split-term deal had
the backing of both Yugoslavia
and the Philippines, as well as
Russia and the big Western pow
ers, there was no vote on the deal
as such. The Assembly merely
elected Yugoslavia to a two-year
term.
The understanding was, how
ever, that the Yugoslav delegation
would resign at the end of one
year and the Philippines would
then be elected. Yugoslavia was
chosen to serve the first half of
the term after its name was drawn
out of a box by Assembly Presi
dent Jose Maza last Friday night.

Treatment For Alcoholics
Acute alcoholism rates high on the list of the serious physical afflic
tions of man » •
French scientists, deeply concerned with the effect of acute alcoholism
on the future of the French economy, have announced that a drug re
lated to the bodv-building amino acids may be the answer to the main
problems of treating the acute al- 4
coholic These problems are with
drawal and rehabilitation
Dr Pierre A Bensoussan re
ports that the drug, phospho
aminolipids. makes possible the
withdrawal of the alcoholic from
drink without the danger of delir
ium tremens or other types of
shock. Recovery is rapid, he says,
while the patient receives the com
pound.
Yale University Clinic* which
has been conducting studies on al
coholism for several years, is co
operating with Dr. Bensoussan in
.further investigations of the use
of the phosphoaminolipids.
From the scientist’s standpoint
the common hang-over and the
symptoms of acute alcoholism dif
fer only in degree Much has
already been learned about the lat
ter by studying methods of reliev
ing the hang-over
At Yale it was found that
mashed potatoes eaten in massive
quantities had a sobering effect
and reduced discomfort associated
with hang-over.
—33
More recently it was learned by
New York hospital authorities that
heavy drinkers who consumed
large quantities of bread made
from flour fortified with the B vita
rfiins were less susceptible to hang
over than others.
Finally the University of Texas
clinic sees hope for controlling
mild forms of alcoholism in a sub
stance known as glutamine, found
in liver and other foods.
