NOT SEA TREGEDY What appears to be the aftermath
of a tragedy at sea, with hundreds of survivors clinging to
boats and rocks, is merely an air view of a typical scene at
Hayama, Japan. Thousands of Japanese packed the beaches
to seek relief from the heat and some of the better swim
mers swam out to these rocks. (UPI)

A Common Skin Disease
p Erythema means a redden
ing disease, and multiforme
means it has many forms.
This is a fair
ly com m o n
skin disea s e,
the cause of
which is un
known. It
usually affects
children, and
is likely to be
ushered in by
high fever,
Aivares neaaacne, ana
i badly inflamed mouth. The
child may have a conjunc
tivitis (inflammation around
the eyes), and what looks like
a bad cold. After this, there
may appear small blobs of
fluid in the skin, and the pa
tients Is likely to be toxic
and prostated with pains in
joints and muscles.
The outlook in these cases
Is always full of anxiety
The treatment Is with corll-sone-like
drugs.
Summer Allergies
According to Drs. Louis
Tuft and Leonard S. Girsh, of
Philadelphia, It is usually
easy to recognize hay fever
because of much sneezing,
itching in the nose, and the
running of a watery fluid
out of the nose; also irrita
tion of the eyelids.
Often a good allergist can
tell in a minute what the
cause is, just by noting the
date when the trouble begins
nd later when it ends. For
instance; rag-weed hay fever
occurs in mid -August and
September, when the hay is
harvested, hence the designa
tion, "hay fever." In the
early days, people used to
apeak of rose fever; but rose
pollen is too large and heavy
to be wind-borne.
As the doctors say, it is
easy to develop asthma as a
complication following much
hay fever. Hence it is a good
idea to treat hay fever ener
getically and to get rid of it
early.
If asthma recurs with vary-
i n g degrees of intensity
throughout the summer and
extends Into the fall, the al
lergist will suspect that at
mospheric molds are either
the sole cause or an addition
al cause. In these cases the
asthma is likely to over
shadow the occasional epi
sodes of hay fever. Atmos
pheric molds are much more
p r e v alent in agricultural
areas than on the Eastern
seaboard. In the Great Lakes
region some people get asth
ma from emanations from the
Caddis fly.
Dr. Alvarez has prepared a
small booklet called, Al
lergy. Hav Fever and Asth
ma," which discusses various
forms of allergies and sug
gests treatments. You may get
a copy of It by sending 25
cents and a ' self - addressed,
stamped envelope with your
rpnupst to Dr. Walter C. Al
varez, Dept. MMT, Box 57,
Dos Moines 4, Iowa.
Ml. Jefferson
Wild Area Proposed
Portland-IUM- Regional For
ester J. Herbert Stone of the
U.S. Forest Service here has
proposed establishment of a
flfi,944 acre Ml. Jefferson
Wild area in the Cascades.
He said the proposed site
has been under Intensive For
est Service study for the past
few years. It would take the
place of the existing 86,700
acre Ml. Jeffqrson Primitive
Area which has been so classi
fied since the early 1930s.
The proposed wild area Is
dominated by the namesake
peak, Oregon's second highest
and is located some (10 miles
southeast of Salem.
Besides 10,497 foot Ml. Jef
ferson, the proposed wild area
contains 200 miles of trails,
nearly 100 lakes, and an abun
dance of game, Stone said.
'Big Medicine' Uses
Labor Techniques
In Campaign Funds
Washington - (CQ) - "Big
Medicine" is stealing some
leaves from "Big Labor's"
book as it moves into the field
of large-scale political spend
ing.
In 1962, Its first year of
full operation, the new Amer
ican Medical Political Action
Committee (AMPAC), an off
shoot of the American Medi
cal Assn., reported spending
$248,404 on the national
level.
AMPAC is financed by vol
untary contributions from
physicians and dentists and
has as its primary purpose
the defeat of all-encompassing
federal medical care pro
grams - especially President
Kennedys "medicare" pro
gram for the aged under So
cial Security. Donations al
most always go to Republi
cans except for some conserv
ative Southern Democrats.
Like "Big Labor," how
ever, "Big Medicine reports
nationally but a fraction of
Its actual political outlays.
Major expeditures are made
by slate committees which
are not required to report
nationally.
Moreover, AMPAC lists a
major part of its budget as
educational and thus ex
empt from reporting laws - a
technique long used by organ
ized labor.
And like COPE (Ihe AFL-
CIO's Committee on Political
Education), AMPAC lists dis
bursements from its national
headquarters to the field as
transfers to stale or local
groups, rarely if ever showing
the name of the Senate or
House candidate for whom
the funds are intended.
Labor Funds Lead
If reported outlays may be
taken as a measure, AMPAC
still lags well behind organ
ized labor's political expendi
tures. A M P A C ' s reported
$248,484, for instance, is less
than a third of the $761,468
figure which the national
COPE reported.
Total labor expenditures In
1962, as reported nationally,
were $2,305,331. The only
nationally reported AMPAC

Field Operations

ganized medicine has an auto

political contact at its dis
posal. Organi.ed labor em
ploys its locals and their
members; AMPAC can work
directly wilh doctors in every
city and hamlet of the land.
Labor may have more man
power immediately at its com
mand, but the political influ
ence of doctors is not to be
underrated.

number of 1962 contests. Con

Retired Worker Investment Can Produce Dividends
New York - (DTD - The re
tired worker represents an
investment, and one which
can pay dividends, John J.
(Jack) Smith believes.
He believes in the Idea
strongly enough that he has
built a magazine around it,
and put it into the hands of
about 150,000 men and wom
en, retired or approaching re
tirement age, through the
companies which employed
them.
"A company with even a
minimum pension," he said,
"ordinarily has at least $18,-
000 tied up through its own
play in any retired person.
And this does not take So
cial Security into considera
tion, although the company
has paid out at least $12,000
for each employee reaching
retirement age.
"The total is more than the
average company may spend
per capita on plant and equip
ment during the employee's
working lifetime.
Method of Approach
"When I started the maga
zine, Harvest Years, this was
the way that I approached
companies which I thought
should be interested.
"Their retired workers are
not merely 'off the payroll.'
If they have a device through
which they can adjust them
selves successfully to retire
ment and many persons
are not ready for it when it
comes they can remain as
assets to the company which
employed them.
"They can help in recruit
ing new workers, if they be
lieve that they still can be
useful to their former em
ployers. They are natural
salesmen for the company's
products and services; in
community affairs, provided
they find how to participate,
they can be of benefit to the
concern for which they once
worked."
The fact that a company
subscribes to a magazine de
voted solely lo the interests
of retired persons is a tan
gible evidence, Smith be
lieves, of its interest in the
retired worker, and the read
er of the magazine cannot
help but feel a sense of satis
faction. Smith, a former Marine
who once was a magazine
salesman, is only 36 years old.
His idea for the magazine
evolved from many conversa
tions with persons approach
ing retirement; he found that
most of them were apprehen
sive, fretful at the prospect
of lank of daily occupation,
and at the problems involved
1 in living on a reduced income.
i neueve tnat most per
sons in retirement do not
want government handouts,
he said. "They want to make
their own way. But a lot of
them just don't know how,
and many are too proud to
ask for help.
Every Side Presented
"In Ihe magazine, we try
to avoid a "do this' or 'don't
do this' approach. It is built
around the idea of 'do it your
self.' We try lo present every
side of every question which
may be raised in the life of
a person in retirement trav
el, investment, food, medical
care, all of them.
"We think we have put the
idea across. Our own surveys
show and the figure Is hard
lo believe that 91 per cent
