Caught In The Draft
The cold season is coming, but
icy draftsAay have no direct con
nection the sniffles, sneezes
and hoarHness that are common
signs of ||inter weather. Recent
Itudies in England suggest cold
weather helps spread such ail
ments mostly because people hud
dle together in crowded buses and
trains.
Crowding during winter is dif
ficult to avoid,
and so are the ills
that often follow.
Once you catch
cold you might as
well resign your
self to a couple
v. _ of weeks of nurg
5\ lx *n£ your symp
-—123 toms. A scientist
at Johns Hopkins
University has develoned a vac
cine which appears to be effective
in preventing one type of cold
virus from causing trouble. But
so far as a cure is concerned,
medical science can’t do a thing.
The best thing anyone can do is
try to ease the annoying symp
toms. Cutting down on smoking
is sensible, and it’s a good idea to
take in plenty of fluids such as
fruit juices at the first sign of a
sniffle or sneeze. Mild nose drops
and aspirin will help tide you over,
too. Candettes — antibiotic loz
enges sold at drug counters — will
help ease a scratchy throat.
If a sore throat persists, be sure
to see your doctor at once. A ser
ious throat infection mav not stop
there; so don’t trifle with it.
And if it is possible for you to
avoid crowds, give it a trial. You
may manage to go the whole sea
son without a single cough or
sniffle!

Calls For Halt To
Japanese Catching
Of Alaska Salmon
By FRANK W. VAILLE
WASHINGTON, WV—The chair
man of the Senate Interstate
Commerce Committee today
urged early State Department ac
tion to halt the Japanese catch of
Alaskan salmon.
Commenting on a resolution
which he readied for introduc
tion, Sen. Magnuson (D-Wash)
said remedial action to preserve
the Alaska salmon runs is pos
sible either under the 1951 treaty
with Japan or by informal agree
ment “if the State Department
will go into action.”
The Washington senator cited
statistics which he said show the
Alaskan salmon catch has de
clined from a 1947 pack of 1,
300.000 cases worth $43,200,000 to
a 10 - year average by 1957 of
677.000 cases with a value of $21,
644.000
During this same period, he
said, the Japanese catch has in
creased and there is “every rea
son to believe they are catching
immature salmon.”

Gen. Lucius Clay
Favors One Chief
Of Armed Services j
' WASHINGTON, W — Gen.
Lucius D. Clay proposed to in
vestigating senators yesterday
that U.S. military forces be dras
tically reorganized with all major
commanders in the same uniform
and under a single chief.
The retired World War II Army
general said single control is
necessary because “no future
commander is going to fight a
war with the weapons of one
service.”
He testified before the Senate
Preparedness subcommittee head
ed by Sen. Lyndon B. Johnson, as
that group sought to wind up the
current phase of its missile-satel
lite inquiry.
Clay urged greatly increased
power and authority for both the
Secretary of Defense and the
chairman of the Joint Chiefs of
Staff.
He said the Secretary should
have authority to transfer the
billions of dollars of defense
funds from one purpose to an
other, in order to push research
and development.
He said the JCS chairman, now
a ijonvoting member of the group
that includes 'top service com
manders, should take over their
authority.
He said the present JCS is now
“just another committee” and
they should serve only as ad
visers. “The time has come when
senior officers should belong to
the same service and wear the
same uniform,” the former gen
eral said.
