The paper bluntly told Tito he had no right to suggest he was the supreme arbiter of Commu nist policy outside his own country. The Pravda editorial tended to support the view held by some quarters that Molotov at one time may have questioned recent Soviet policy towards Yugoslavia. It was recalled he resigned as foreign minister shortly before Tito's recent visit to Moscow. Influential Figure Molotov's new appointment confirmed that he remains one of the most influential figures in Soviet affairs despite his re placement as foreign minister by Dmitri Shepilov. Molotov is one of four remain ing "old Bolsheviks" in top posi tions who joined the party be fore the revolution. The others are President Klimenti Voroshi lov and deputy premiers Anastas Mikoyan and Lazar Kaganovich. Other members of the Supreme Soviet Presidium, including Communist party first secretary Nikita Khrushchev, joined the party after 1917.

To Succeed Holmes Astoria (U.R) The Clat sop and Columbia County Courts came to a stalemate yesterday in their efforts to name a suc cessor to the state Senate seat left vacant by Governor-Elect Robert Holmes. Two names were officially placed in nomination, one from each of the two counties, with the vote splitting straight down county lines and ending in a three-three deadlock. To Meat Wednesday The officials agreed to meet here again next Wednesday in an attempt to fill the vacancy. They also agreed to ask the Democratic Central committees of the two counties to meet in the interim and come up with a single nomination for the post. Under state law the vacancy must be filled by a member of the same party as the person leaving the office in this case the Democratic party. The names placed in nomina tion before the group yesterday were Dan Thiel of Astoria and Dr. Kent MacGruder of Clat skanie. Armed With Four Namai The Columbia County Court came to the meeting armed with four names they would place in nomination including both Mac Gruder and Thiel along wi t h Vilas Shaphard, Clatskanie and Walsh Turner of St. Helens.

VA Research May Halt Spreading Of Tuberculosis Baltimore, Md. U.R) Cur rent research with ultra - violet light at the Veteran's Adminis tration Hospital here may result in halting the spread of tuber culosis in areas where the air is contaminated by TB germs. The study, the first of its kind under actual hospital conditions, utilizes patients with active pul monary tuberculosis to infect about 200 guinea pigs. The germs are passed from the area occupied by the patients to the animals through an air condi tioning unit, which permits the circulation of infected air with out affecting the rest of the building. The experiment, now in its third year, began with the use of a liquid culture of TB germs. The culture was sprayed through the air conditioning duct work which led to a room in which rabbits had been placed. The rabbits thus exposed contracted tuberculosis. In the second part of this ini tial experiment, the rabbits were similarly exposed, except that the contaminated area was ir radiated with ultra-violet light during the period of animal ex posure. In this latter instance, none of the animals contracted the disease. Broad Benefits Seen The current experiment uti lizes TB patients instead of the liquid culture. This method takes about one year to infect a small number of guinea pigs be cause of the much lower level of the natural contamination. If successful, the experiment, which is expected to continue for another two or three years, could demonstrate for the first time the exact degree of infec tiousness of the air from the rooms of such patients. It will then be possible to measure the protective effect of ultra-violet irradiation. The immediate purpose of the experiment would be to find a way of protecting a hospital staff caring for TB patients. However, Dr. Ross McLean, director of professional services at the VA hospital, sees in the study benefits of much broader scope. "If it can be demonstrated conclusively that ultra-violet ir radiation will render the air of a tuberculosis patient's room completely non-infectious, it will be a great additional advance in tuberculosis control, and may well lead to even more intensive research on a broader scale of possibly great public health im portance," Mc-Lean said. BEWARE Of IMITATIONS LOOK tOR THf HAPPY umt DOO TOPS IN QUALITY! LOW IN PRICE Greatest Danger in Fight Against TB is Apathy, Group Says ltus year, the 50th anniver sary of Christmas seals, the greatest danger in the fight against tuberculosis is apathy, according to the Jackson County Public Health association. It is true that there have been great strides in controlling TB but it is still a menace in every community, the association pointed out. Because of new drugs, which shorten the hospi talization stage of TB, many peo ple are inclined to believe the disease is no longer considered as serious as in previous years. The association noted, howev er, that TB strikes one American every five minutes. Between 50 and 60 million Americans are infected with tuberculosis germs, and about 400,000 of those in fected have active' TB. Of the latter number, 150,000 are un known to health authorities, and at least 1,200,000 persons need medical care or supervision for active or inactive TB. Last year, about 16,000 people died of TB. In the next year, about 100,000 people will be found with active TB, the association said. Since the inception of the Na tional Tuberculosis association, the death rate from TB. has been reduced more than 90 per cent, which represents great strides in TB control. This control, which has been set up by local health associations, has been made possible by voluntary sup port through purchasing Christ mas seals. John Nance Garner Observes Birthday Uvalde, Tex.

Once the disease is discovered, the association helps the .infected person through the treatment period and then helps the patient re-; sume normal life. An important aspect of asso ciation work is prevention of TB : by improving living conditions i and health standards in general to reduce the number of people ! who might become infected. This phase of prevention work is often questioned, the associa tion said, because some people do not conect emotionaly upset individuals with people who are most likely to develop, TB. In the past 15 years, studies in psy chosomatic medicine and the con nection between emotional dis- ; turbances and proneness to de velop TB have been made and so demonstrated so the connec tion is now accepted doctrine. Because of this reason, local associations consider support and encouragement of promoting high standards of public health a legitimate part of TB preven tion. All work is done by volun teers, and the cost of support ing such programs amounts to a small part of the sum expended on TB care, and is considered a good investment in prevention Jackson county has about 15 or 16 new cases of TB each year and, as each case costs about $15,000, the total cost to the , community annually is about $225,000, of "which 90 per cent is borne by the public, the asso ciation said. ! j " .
