FDA Proposes Ban On Drugs
Useless In Battling Colds
WASHINGTON IL'PII - The
Food and Drug' Administration
Saturday proposed banning more
than 50 "cold cure" prescription
drugs after a team of leading
medical scientists found that the
antibiotics have no effect what
soever on the common cold.
The proposed order would pre
vent the certification of prescrip
tions which include antibiotics in
conjunction with analgesics, anti
histamines, decongestants, and
caffeine.
It would affect only prescrip
tion drugs taken by mouth.
The order also would initiate
regulatory action, if necessary,
to remove from the market anal
gesics, decongestants, caffeine and
antihistamines when mixed with
any other anti-microbial agents,
primarily the sulfa family.
An KDA spokesman described
the action as "major" and said it
would affect 50 or more products
manufactured by about 200 firms.
ADMINISTRATOR E. L.
Short is the new principal
of the Tulelake Joint Union
High School. Prior to
coming here, he served
three years as vice princi
pal of the high school at
Princeton, Calif. Classes
will start Sept. 10.
He said that most of the products
contain antibiotics and a few
other anti-microbial agents.
The proposed order was pub
lished in the Federal Register,
an official government publica
tion, and gave objectors 30 days
to file protests or comment be
fore it can take effect.
Under the order it would be il
legal to manufacture the drugs
specified and they would be un
available to doctors. But the or
der would not affect popular cold
remedies sold without prescrip
tion. The spokesman said the combi
nation drugs are frequently used
in the treatment of colds. He said
a number of scientists questioned
their value and the Food and
Drug Administration asked the
National Academy of Sciences to
make a panel study.
The chairman was Dr. Harry
Dowling of the University of Illi
nois School of Medicine. Other
members were Dr. Paul Beeson,
Yale University School of Medi
cine; Dr. Maxwell Finland, Harv
ard University School of Medi
cine; Dr. William Jordan, Univer
sity of Virginia School of Medi
cine; Dr. Edwin D. Kilbourne,
Cornell University School of .Med
icine, and Dr. Cal Schmidt. Uni
versity of Pennsylvania School of
Medicine.
There is no acceptable evi
dence that any antibiotic or other
anti-microbial agent is of any
value in the treatment of the
common cold or any other upper
respiratory viral infection.
Antibiotics and otlier anti
microbial agents are of no value
in preventing bacterial complica
tions in patients with common
colds who are otherwise healthy,
and therefore should not be used.
They may have some value
in patients with underlying chron
ic pulmonary disease. But when
preventive treatment of respira
tory infection is justified the anti
microbial agents that may be
used must be relatively free of
inherent toxicity.
The antibiotic in a drug which!
includes analgesics, anti - hista
mines, and possibly decongestants
would have no effect on the cold
itself and there is insufficient
chemical evidence to show that
it would be of value in the pre
vention of complicating infections
of a cold.
The relief that may be pro
vided by the other ingredients
(other than the antibioticl is no
justification for any such product
to contain an anti - microbial
agent.

It" J 4
By ANN LANDERS
Dear Ann Landers: I don't
know if this is the kind of a
problem I should be bothering
you witn out i
am only 12 and
1 don't have
, much love life
yet to speak of.
Well, to get to
the point. I am
crazy about
I horses. After
I many years of
begging, my folks are finally
buying me a horse in Sep
tember. Now I ntfed to know how
to talk horse talk. I've got to
get hold of a horse dictionary right
away so I will be able to use
words like gelding, filly, stud,
withers, stallion and yearling.
Please tell me where 1 can
get such p dictionary. I want to
start studying now so I won't be
ignorant in the horse-circles.
NO HORSE SENSE YET
Dear N.ll.S. Yet: I know of no
horse dictionary and furthermore,
even tf I did 1 wouldn't recom
mend It. '
The best way In learn "horse
talk" Is hv hring around people
who talk It. That's the way they
learned.
Deir Ann Landers: I'm 1
girl, and very much worried
'ahout mv little brother. He is
12 and getting completely out of
contro .
Dad died two months ago and
mom had to go to work right
awav Thrs left me in charge
of the house and my brother
He used to be obedient and po
lite and never caused any trou
ble. Now he sassos me. leaves
the house whenever he feels like
it and comes home when he
wants to.
I don't know where he is most
of the time or who he is with.
When I trv to talk to him he
tells me I am not his boss and
we end up in a fight. My mother
is ton exhausted and too nervous
to argue with him. Daddy was
alwavs the one who made the
decisions in our family concern
ing my brother and now that he is
gone I have inherited the job.
Ple.ise help me. Ann. before
mv little brother goes bad A
SISTER
Dear SWrr: This Is a eritiral
time In your brother's lile and
I urge you to get help from an
adult male. An uncle would be
Ideal, or a friend of your fath
er. Perhaps your clergyman can
come to the rescue.
Your approach to the boy should
he gentle. He resents your tak
ing his father's place as the au
thnrity in the family. Try (o Tie
soft-spoken, and above all, let
him know you love him.
Dear Ann Landers: Two years
;o I invested $10,000 in a small
business. For my $10,000 I own
20 per cent. My partners are
four men who are not related to
me, but they are all related to
each other.
The payroll looks like their
family roll call. Before 1 sat down
to write this letter I checked
and this is the way it reads: A
sister-in-low, two brothers-in-law,
a son, two daughters, an uncle,
three nieces, and a nephew.
The business is doing well, but
I have the feeling it would do
better if we got rid of some of
the relatives. It was recently de
cided that two of the relatives wil
be sent to Europe at company
expense to "look at items we
might buy."
The trip is a phony and I'm
burned up about it. What can I
do about this boondoggle?
HOT UNDER THE COLLAR
Dear Collar: Sell your 20 per
cent and remove yourself from
the list of ulcer candidates. What
you make on the Investment can
not compensate for what you
stand to lose.
Confidential In NOT OBLI
GATED BY LAW: There is no
statute of limitations on a guil
ty conscience. Pay the man. Sure
ly your reputation is worth a
few hundred dollars.
Confidential to THE GO BOY
FROM PERTH AMBOY: So what
good are her dimensions if she
has a computer instead of a
heart? What you describe is a
terrific construction job without a
central heating system.
Arc you going steady? Making
marriage plans? If so. send (or
nn lenders' booklet, "Before
You Marry-Is It Love Or Sex?"
enclosing with your request 20
cents in coin and a long, self-
addressed, stamped envelope.
Ann Landers will be glad to
help you with your problems.
Send them to her in care of this
newspaper enclosing a stomped,
self-addressed envelope.
over the subject, but tins more
liberal governors by Southern
standards will call the official
shots.
Passage of any resolution by
the conference, which tradition
ally tip-toes around the race is
sues, will require a three-fourths
majority. With suni relative-moderates
as North Carolina's Terry
Sanford, West Virginia's W. W.
Barron and Kentucky's Bert
Combs in the majority, this seg
ment could easily block any move
not to their liking.
This means that any racial py
rotechnics coming out of the
meeting likely will be the result
of statements made by various'
governors off the conference
floor, rather than any official ac
tion by the group.
The first line of defense among
the "moderate" majority of the
attending 15 governors of Dixie
and border states will be the
resolutions committee a group
hand-picked by Chairman Orval
E. Faubus of Arkansas.
Two-Thirds Vote Needed
It would take a two-thirds vote
of all the governors, or 10 votes
to force a resolution out of the
committee, with 12 votes still
needed for final adoption
Wallace has announced plans to
submit five resolutions condemn
Ing use of federal troops to en
force school desegregation orders,
the Kennedy administration's civ
il rights program and the Aug.
28 civil rights march on Wash
ington.
The Alabama chief executive,
attending his first Southern Gov
ernors Conference, will probably
wait to sound out sentiment
among his colleagues before de
ciding how far to press his cam
paign.
All of the governors except
Henry Bellmen of Oklahoma arc
Democrats, and thus there will
be no repetition of the partisan
squabble over civil rights which
marked the national governors
conference at Miami Beach last
month.
Accident Decays Arrival
Faubus' arrival at conference
headquarters in tlie Grecnbriar
resort was delayed for several
hours as a result of a highway
accident Friday night involving
his car. He was not injured.
Faubus will not preside at
formal meeting until the opening
general session Monday. Sun
day's program includes only a
briefing and planning session for
governors' aides, and a skcet
shoot and reception.
Other stales represented at the
meeting, by delegations ranging
from 6 to 24 persons, include
Delaware, Tennessee, Florida,
Georgia, Louisiana, South Caro
lina, Texas and Virginia. Only
Maryland and Missouri among
member stales will not be rep
resented by their chief executives.
Man Jailed
For Assault
Leon Pearson, wanted on a
Klamath County warrant for as
sault and battery, was arrested
by Sheriff Murray "Red" Brit
ton and Deputy Del Summers in
Dorris Friday and was trans
ferred to the Klamath County
Jail after he signed a waiver of
extradition.
Pearson is charged with the
beating of Cleo Williams, who
was admitted to Klamath Valley
Hospital on Aug. 8 as the result
of injuries slie received during
the attack. She was released from
the hospital two days later. The
incident marked the second
ime in recent months that the
wo people were involved in an
altercation which resulted in a
complaint registered with local
police, the district attorney's of
fice reported.
