Streptomycin Top Weapon In Tuberculosis Fight

By ROBERT MARX

NEW YORK, Nov. 30 - (GP) — Streptomycin is at present the most effective weapon against iituberculosis and will never be

abandoned, says Dr. H. McLeod ‘Higgins, prominent tuberculosis

authority.

"Streptomycin la wlthouit any pear in the treatment of tubercul- osis," he said in an interview.

A professor at Columbia Unl- versltyb College of Physicians and Surgeons, Dr. Higgins has pioneered in chemotherapy of the dread “white death." I-Ie also is chairman of the medical research committee of the National Tir - emulosls Association.

Asked to comment on recent articles warning that streptomycin may have to be discarded because of serious poisonous effects, Dr. ,Rigglns said these claims are “largely false."

"When used properly the drug l is 99 per cent safe," he added.

Streptomycin had certain toxic. or poisonous, potentialities; but it was dangerous only when adrmin- istered indiscriminately or in large doses.’ When the disease was especially severe an extra large dose might have to be ad- ministered. In such a ease the curing effect of the drug must be weighed against its toxic effect. Dr. Higgins said.

The poisonous effects arc usual- ly neither severe nor permanent, he added. The moat common re- sult ls damaging of the "eighth nerve" — the part of the car iwhich affects balance as well as i hearing.

This may alru y have ibeen partly destroyed by ho dil-

ease. i But, ho emphasized. these re- lulha occur rarely when tho nor- mal amount of streptomycin is given. Dihydrortreptcmycin, a less toxic form of streptomycin, Ia also balng used successfully al- though It is not as potent u the

"But often before resistance develops," Dr. Higgins said, "ltreptpmycin can bring the pati-

‘cut safely, through violent, pneu- lmonia-compllcatod fever to face surgery."

Dr. Higgins, pointed out that streptomycin must not be regard- cdwe a final and cont-plate cure for tuberculosis and the other dia- eana against which it ll effective.

British Gov't Gets Ideas From Reds. Cap_italists

By JACK SMITH

LONDON, Nov. 3O — (AP) —— The Laibor Government appears to be borrowing an idea from both the Russian Communists and the American capitalists in its at- tempt to solve the economic crisis.

The idea: Tha-t the harder a man works the more pay he should geit; that the hard woriker should make more than the lag- g-ard even if the two work side ‘by side as members of the same trade union.

In Russia they call their hard

workers “stakhanovites"; and make. heroes out of them. They get extra pay.

In the United States and Can-

ada management tries to push along and reward the workers who really produce.

In Britain socialists generally

have long argued ilialt any two factory workers in the same jolb should got the same pay. In the past trade unions even have put

dampers on members who plug too hard. The subtle but significant

chan-ge first became apparent a couple of weeks ago when Her- bert Morrison, Deputy Prime Min- ister, said in a speech:

“The man or the team who do a better day's work than the next man or team should be entitled to correspondingly better earn- ings."

A few days later, Prime Minis- ter Attica in approving the ‘rrade Union Council's decision‘ to ex- ercise “restrain? in claims for general wage increases said:

“This is not a ‘wage freeze’ in the sense that no one can cam any more. The decision is to sus- pend any movement or "wage rates unrelated to the level of output. But it leaves the door wide open to higher g-i-mings through improved productivity and greater efficiency."

Aittloe said he wanted labor and management to study the whoite problem of incentives — of how to induce people to work harder.

Both statements focussed at- tention again on the kcy problem of incentives in a socialist state.

Britain cannot got out of the red wiiihout a great increase in industrial production. That en- tails, among other things, harder work hy most workers.

The Conservatives have said that socialism kills off the will in work hard. Their argument is that many fecl there is no good rea- son to work hard when the state gives tlicm a high degree of job security and does a lot of other things for ihem.

Tho his riuestion is how to put the idea into operation.

The T.U.C.. representing 8.- 000,000 organized workers, hl! been wrestling with tine prdlleirn for many weeks and in a state- ment last week astkerl for "pay- ment by results." Brit. it did not make any more specific proposals.

A-titllee has given specific ap- proval to cash bonuses for more production. litany firim are ask- ing the treasury for details of such schemes.

If Britain begins paying union members bv results the country will be adopting a Communist policy adopted in i935.

Miners Consider Time Better Than Money

By ALAN HARVEY

LONDON, Nov. so _ (GP) Why does a. miner stay away from the pit?

For generations, private enter- Prise tried to find the answer. Now, after three years of coal nation. alizatlon, Britain's Labor Govern- merit has put a. finger on what it thinks is the biggest reason for absenteeism in the mines.

It's as simple as this: The miner values time above money.

“TheY used to say the miners had nothing to buy," Fuel Mints. ter Hugh Gaitskell told the House of Commons. "What is much more likely is that leisure is regarded by many miners as more valuable than the things they can buy with money."

Beautiful Ilovels

Goitskell linked the question of leisure with a shortage 0g nous. lng in mining areas.

“You can't expect the miner to want to fill a hovel with a lot of bflarut-lful things," he said. “If he had a. new house and all the am- enities that go with it, the pos-

’ ition would be different.”

Gaitskell was speaking in the first full-dress debate on tha re- port of a. nationalized industry. He pleaded for u moderate approach to absenteeism, a. subject which he said had generated bitterness inside and outside the industry.

In the first place, ha said, min- era "are tired or being scolded. They felt. they were being singled out because there is so much sta- tistical information about them.

In the second place, absenteeism was common among miners every- where. It was just as bad, in “Practically all" the mining in- dustries of Europe as it was in Britain.

Voluntary absenteeism in British mines wasn't particularly alarm- ing. It was 7.1 per cent in i945, 8.4 in 10416. 6.4 in 1947, 6.0 in 1943 and 5.5 so far in 1949.

Galtskell Gamble!

Gaitskeii then took a long gam- ble. He didn't want to be accused of condoning absenteeism, he said, but it must be remembered that miners have only i0 days’ statu- tory holidays and one week of paid holidays a. year.

“It would not be surprising -I will not put it higher than that- if in this industry the miners were to take a few days more off."

Having maids this "reasonable allowance," there remained about four per cent of voluntary ab- senteeism which could not be justified.

Reds Call Fo Strike ln_llaly

ROME. Nov. 30 - (AP) -Ital- tan labor unions divided today over a call by Counmunist leaders for a 24-hour general strike m protect the death of two peasants in a. clash with police.

The Communist-dominated Gen- eral Confederation of Labor issued the call for the walkout, to start at e AM. tomorrow. How many of the 5.000.000 members claimed by the Confederation will respond is not certain.

The Free Confederation of La- bor, headod by Christian Demo- crat Giulio Pasture, ordered its 2,000,000 workers to stay on the job. The Independent Federation 0f Italian laborers, which has about 500.000 members, also said it would not join the strike.

The two peasants were killed by a. burst of sub-muciiine-g-un fire during rioting that broke out at a peasant union meeting yesterday at. Torre Magglorc. in Southern Italy. A Government. communique said the firing was done involun- tarily.
