Register-Guard, Eugene, Ore., OQ Clin fionf 91 1059 New Carfisone Use Suggested Drug Might Relieve Digestive Disorders By THANK CAREY AiineUlrd TreM Sclenre Rrpnrlrr ITHACA, N.Y. A possible new use for cortisone employing it in treating premature babies lor often-fatal digestive disorders has been suggested by a zoolo gist of Washington University, St. Louis. Dr. Florence Moor reported that experiments with mice sug gest this possibility, although she emphasized that any such use of the powerful drug would neces sarily have to be in the hands of doctors having long experience in administering the medicine. Cortisone is the drug that has hown promise in the treatment of arthritis and certain other con ditions. But experts In its use have repeatedly warned of the possibility of harmful reactions and the need for extreme care in using it. In a report to the annual meet ing of the American Institute of Biological Sciences, convened on the campus of Cornell Univer sity, Dr. Moog said digestive dis orders constituted the principal cause of death among premature Infants. She Rave this account of her mouse research: Prior to the age of two weeks, mice have little or no ability to digest and absorb solid food, even though they can eat it. But, at two weeks, there is a sharp increase in a chemical that occurs in the lining of the intes tines and whose function is to aid in the absorption of solid food into the rest of the system. Dr. Moog found that by giving cortisone to the mice, the food absorption chemical reached I maximum efficiency about a week earlier than normal. She said she had heard infor- i mal reports that some doctors already were giving the drug to very young full-term infants presumably for digestive disor ders but that she knew of no case where the drug had been given to premature babies. Also, she said, the mouse ex periments "suggest a rational basis" for employing the medi cine In both premature and full term infants faced with a diges tive problem. ; ' T (AP wirepnoiuj COUNTRYSIDE TRAGEDY As her home near Moose Lake, Minn., is devoured by wind-whipped flames, Mrs. Toge Anderson paces back and forth, sobbing. "No, no, God, what will we do?" She is comforted by Walter Eldot, a reporter. The fire, cause of which was not learned, broke out after Mrs. Anderson, mother of four, drove to town to meet her husband who was rejoining his family after working in Duluth. The house was reduced to waist-high ruins in less than an hour. Navy Seeks End To Washing Woes Russia Retains Manchuria Hold Alleged Japan Threat Gives Reds an Excuse iMYNf KONt; The Moscow !inrpmpnt announced Tuesday shows Russia maintains her grip on Manchuria, using an alleged military threat by Japan as an ex cuse for holding Port Arthur indef initely. It will surprise no seasoned ob server here to learn once the whole story is told that Russia emerges with a greater share than ever in that broad and rich region it has coveted since tzarist days. MAJOR CONCESSION Russia appears to have made a major concession by giving up con trol of the Changchun Railway, the main line of transportation in Manchuria-. The line supposedly had been jointly operated with China. This undoubtedly is only so much ra.0.cnvintf for Russia's Red Chin ese ally. Port Arthur is the coastal terminal of the railway. Undoubt edly. Russia retains freight hauling privileges. In any case, the fact remains that Russia stays in Manchuria whereas it Dromised in 1950 to clear out by the end of this year. PRETEXT FOR STAYING The pretext for staying was framed this way: Red China's pre mier, Chou En-lal, asked the Rus sians to keep a garrison in Port Arthur because of the "dangct ' of renewed aggression from a rearm ing Japan. Under the Moscow agreement, the Russians will stay In Port Ar thur until Japan siens a treaty with Red China and Russia. Wife Saves Husband CENTRAL1A, 111. WV-"I think it's time to get up.

Scientists of the nation's first line of defense are planning to oil duds with "radioactive dirt" in ef forts to find more efficient cleans ing agents for use aboard ship where gobs have to dunk their dungarees in salt water, reported Conference Applicants Beaten by Japanese TOKYO W Thirty applicants for passports to the Communist "peace conference" in Peiping Sept. 26 were beaten and kicked by about 20 young black-shirted Japanese, the newspaper Asahi re ported Friday. Asahi said the youths wore "pa triotic martyrs corps" arm bands.: The applicants were staging a sit down strike at the Foreign Of fice, which rejected applications of 97 to go to Peiping. Stable Foreign Policy Asked SAN FRANCISCO John Foster Dulles says this nation I should create a top-level hiparti i san council to lead the free world with a "stable and consistent" for eign policy. I Declaring Ihe United States "is In deadly peril." Dulles described the present administration's pol icies as "reactions to Soviet ac tions." Dulles Is foreign policy adviser to Ihe Republican party and for merly held that post with Demo cratic administrations. He told the American Bar As sociated yesterday a free world needs American leadership, but other governments "cannot allow us in zig-zags and somersaults." i chemist Rubin Bernstein of the Philadelphia Naval Shipyard. "While the problem is one of concern primarily to the Navy, he told the chemical society's 122nd national meeting, "such re search should result eventually in savings for every American house wife. Already, he said, the Navy's laundry sleuths have been employ ing experimental detergents con taining radioactive materials the idea being to see to. what extent the cleaning agent is absorbed onto and later removed from cotton cloth in the. washday act. Since the stuff is radioactive, the extent of.j. its activities on dirty duds can be ! traced by means of a Geiger count er. . DIRT RADIOACTIVE Next on the program will hej tests wherein Ihe dirt -itself is made radioactive so as to test for! possible traces left in the fabric when detergents of varying com positions are employed, i "Despite the fact that launder ing and other associated businesses have grown to a billion dollar in dustry," said Bernstein, "a great deal remains to be discovered about the actual mechanism by which dirt is actually removed from a soiled material by soap, or synthetic detergents. "Cleaning is a very big problem for Ihe Department of the Navy, which authorized the present study." A recent survey omong plotewearers pointed to Ihe answer when it reveoled that 71 of them wear their platei ALL Ihe time, day and night. Most of the otheri lake them out at night.
