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.

'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

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."
