Government Seen 'Useful Servant' Inhaler Problems Washington (U.R) Presiden tial Assistant Sherman Adams said last night the government will be a "useful servant" in w helping solve water problems in the nation. But he toLC an organization seeking increased federal funds for watershed improvement that ofederal control of water in the nation ultimately would cmean '"control of the whole economy." Adams spoke aQhe second an nual Watershed Congress, a meeting sponsored by 25 farm, business andibor organizations. A committee of the group report ed earlier it has heard "increas 3 ing criticism" of the 50 per cent limit on the federal contribution to watershed projret costs. UsefuPservants Adams said it should be clear ly understood that the govern ment "can continue to be a use ful servSht a leavening and equalizing influence among the states, regions and watersheds." But he said government "mustCihot be left to do the things that people still can do betterQior themselves." Arlams said a national water golicy under study by the ad e ministration for nearly two years probably will be ready for Qhe next session of Congress. - One "principal element" of the policy, he said, will be that local 0 interests "cannot and should not be excluded from a voice in water affairs. fmzJw , i f f M f A!K W- Abbott 011 tri in uaiaand Cal., for the kidnap-murder of 14-vear-old Stephanie Bryan, inspects relief map of the areaarund his mountain cabin where Stephanie's body was discovered The map was introduced as evidence as the S3 Jsajr stephanies Brockway Slayer Ordered Commifled Garibaldi, Ore.

Tuesday, December 6, 1355 MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE FIVE 'Wonder Drug1 Ballyhoo Subsides; Science Says They're Not Wonders By DELOS SMITH United Press Science Editor New York (U.R) Because un scientific ballyhoo for the new est "wonder drugs" has subsided and many doctors in many places have tried them out, it is possi ble now to say how good they are. The drugs are prednisone and prednisolone. According to Dr. Joseph Lee Hollander, an em inent authority who has just re viewed all the scientific reports, they're good but they're not wonders. "A wave of enthusiasm was aroused," said Hollander, pro fessor of clinical medicine at the University of Pennsylvania. But now that many experiences have been reported, he said, "the say ing 'news is never as good or as bad as it first appears' is again true." Cortisone Duplicated Prednisone and prednisolone couldn't have been produced if chemists hadn't learned to do what nature does in the adrenal glands. Nature makes the hor mone, cortisone, there. When chemists learned to duplicate the feat, the way was open for them to make potent substances which nature doesn't. It was a matter of altering the cortisone molecule. First, they produced hydrocortisone and about a year ago two more alter ations were ready to try on hu man beings prednisone and prednisolone. -"Hollander found they have the virtue of cortisone and hydro cortisone for rheumatic disease, especially rheumatoid arthritis, allergic states, and many other ailments. The virtue is the ability to relieve or lessen symptoms temporarily. But it takes only one fourth to one fifth the dose to produce results. Which means the new drugs can be given for longer periods before they begin producing dis tressing "side effects" and be fore they are no longer effective in relieving symptoms. And they have much less influence on the body's handling of certain min erals. But no one should assume from the ballyhoo that "the basic Muskegon, Mich. (U.R) At least one Muskegon man won't hide in the trunk of his car next time he wants to "spy" on his wife. The man had to enlist his wife's aid when the trunk lock ed. She ' couldn't unlock the trunk and drove the car to po lice headquarters where he was released. He told police he sus pected his -wife of stepping out on him and just wanted to check on her. problems of management of these diseases are solved," Hol lander said. "Alleviation of symptoms and signs of disease is not synonymous with a cure, and helpful though these steriods are, they are not curative." And they still have "unde sired" effects on the body, he said. These, "in the case of gastro- intestinal complications perhaps are more troublesome than those from cortisone and hydrocortisone." In using them, doctors should cheose the pa tients with caution, should ob serve those patients carefully while they're taking the drugs, and proscribe only the "minimal effective doses," he said. As for the future, he was heartened by the fact that chem ists had obtained more potent drugs merely by altering the cortisoae molecule. "It is to be hoped," he . added, "that other change-? will soon result in ad ditionally improved steroids for the benefit of human sufferers from a variety of ailments." SWEET AND SLIPPERY Battle Creek, Mich. (U.R) The first warnings of slippery highways came early here this year when syrup from a local cereal manufacturing plant leak ed onto the highway. Morehead, Ky. (U.R) Neigh bors of Mrs. Clyde Moore were dubious after they searched her kitchen and failed to find a snake on the floor.
