Comment On This and That I HARMAN United P- Atlantic City U.R) Miss Alabama, Patty Byrd Huddles ton, got a head start in the Miss America con- test for a nickel. Lily Mae Caldwell, her dear pal and sponsor from the Birming ham News learned that the pretty bru nette was com ing down with Herman Nichols a bad cold. And that meant trouble, because Wednesday night when Patricia as supposed to give out with her rendition of Verdi's Mio Dio from "La Forza Del Destino," she was hurting in the throat. "That child couldn't get up a whisper, much less come up with some opera," Lily Mae said. So the lovely Lily Mae took the nearest elevator and bought herself a nickel's worth of" as pirin.

To Gather Votes Washington (U.R) Repub lican state chairmen, sobered by an expert's warning they can throw away the 1956 election despite the popularity of Presi dent Eisenhower, boned up to day on how to win. In the second day of a four day campaign school here, they called in one adviser after an other for counsel on such tech niques as precinct organization, purchase of TV and radio time, door-to-door fund raising, and how to make best use of the candidate's "advance men." Nixon To Add Plea Vice - President Richard M. Nixon, addressing the group at lunch, was expected to add his plea for a hard-hitting GOP cam paign, starting now, more than a year before the election. Nixon also was expected to reassure the state party officials on what they most wanted to hear: That President Eisenhower in his opinion will run. Without an exception the party officials seemed firmly com mitted already to that assump tion. Only under prodding by newsmen would they even dis cuss other candidates and gener ally they also had taken the view they would not need to worry much about getting the President reelected. Most Popular Candidate That, warned campaign expert Murray Chotiner, is the kind of thinking that elected Democrat Harry S. Truman in 1948, -when Republican Thomas E. Dewey was considered a shoo-in. Chotiner, a Los Angeles at torney who successfully man aged Nixon's campaigns for the Senate in 1950 and for vice-president two years later, told the group Wednesday Mr. Eisen hower is the best qualified and most popular candidate they could pick. He said an Eisen hower ticket unquestionably will win provided they do their part in organizing a campaign aimed at picking up every possi ble vote.

Unpleasant Side of Pe nici 1 1 i n Rev ea led At Doctor's Request By DELOS SMITH United Press Science Editor New York (U.R) Several medical scientists have suggested that this writer tell the public something about the unpleasant side of penicillin so that the public will stop twisting doctoral arms in order to get a shot of the stuff for the least little thing. The medical profession has just about curbed the enthus iasts among its members who were shooting first and 'asking questions later. But patients still demand it and when a medical man refuses to come across, many of them act as though he ought to be driving a bus. The unpleasant side of penicil lin is that some people are al lergic to it. In some very few cases comparatively speaking it has produced the rushing, sledge-hammer kind of allergic reaction called anaphylactic shock which can be quickly fa tal. Leading Brake-Jerker Dr. Sheppard Siegal of "New York's Mount Sinai Hospital, an allergy specialists, has been one of the leading brake-jerkers within the profession. A recent lecture of his at the annual meet- Fongs To Be Tried In Separate Hearings Portland (U.R) Wey Him Fong and his wife, Sherry, will be tried separately in the state's second attempt to convict them of murdering 16-year-old Diane Hank. Attorney Irvin Goodman, rep resenting the Fongs, told Circuit Judge James R. Bain his clients would exercis their right to separate trails. The court, at request of Good man and with approval of the prosecution, extended from Sept. 28 to Oct. 17 the date for trial of one of the Fongs. District Attorney William Langley said he was undecided as to which of the defendants will be tried first. The Fongs were convicted of slaying the Portland high school girl last spring and sentenced to life imprisonment. However, Cir cuit Judge Alfred P. Dobson overruled the verdict and or dered a new trial. NEW LOCATION Modern Plumbing & SHEET METAL CO. 613 East Jackson Phone 3-5368 ing of the Medical ' Society of the State of New York was heard only by other doctors. Speaking of antibiotics gener ally, he said he did not want to "instill fear" he wanted to "suggest a proper discrimination." For allergic reactions, penicil lin is the "problem antibiotic," he said. In his wide experience, he had classified four types: 1. "Delayed type," occurring at least five days after the pen icillin shot. There are skin erup tions usually hives fever and pain in the joints. This is the reaction of an allergic person to the first exposure to an antigen, in this case, penicillin. Accelerated and Immediate .2. "Accelerated and immedi ate" type. Not nearly as common as type one. Occurs only in per sons who have had penicillin be fore. It may come within seconds of the shot or one or two days afterward. Type Three are "hyperergic" reactions, mainly more severe forms of Type One. Type Four is an eruption of the skin, par ticularly the hands, feet and groins. All this indicates why doctors now almost always ask if you've ever had penicillin before and if so, was there any reaction. Dr. Siegal remarked that pedia tricians "are fortunately less con cerned with the hazards which beset physicians treating adults." The reason is that the severe forms of penicillin .allergic re actions are "very rare in childhood." PLANT THESE NOW!
