MEDICAL VIEWS ON EFFECT OF ALCOHOL VARY Symposium Reveals Belief Moderate Use Aid to Human Health. Bn T p-* Boerinl NEW YORK. Aug. 19.—What do j doctors and scientists really think about the effect of alcohol on health? T. Swann Harding, writer on | scientific topics, makes the first; complete effort to answer this often; discussed question in American! Druggist magazine. He gathers recent conclusions of the foremost American and European authorities on the subject into a symposium. Opinions are so diverse, he finds, j : hat the question still is an ‘‘open j one: with slight evidence prepond- j crating in favor of the use of alcohol in moderation." "Habitual use of alcohol as an aid to work seems rather certainly j to be a mistake,” he says, citing tests made with clerical workers | which proved that even a small quantity of alcohol beverages cosuit in impaired efficiency. On the other hand, he produces results of a study by Dr. David I Macht: "Macht and his co-workers, in tests of alcohol, caffeine and nicotine. demonstrated of the three substances the nicotine is by far the most poisonous.” Other opinions: Dr. Graham Lusk, Cornell Uni-versity-Taken in moderation, alcoholic beverages contribute greatly to human happiness. Lord Dawson of Penn, Physician to King George—Great Britain would be foolish to follow America’s lead in prohibiting alcoholic drinks, because she is rapidly becoming temperate, and temperance Is far Detter than abstinence. Dr. Leddig. Noted German Physi-ologist-Digestion is greatly improved by moderate use of alcohol. Drs. Seager. Verda and Burge, University of Illinois —It is found that alcohol stimulates sugar metabolism in addition to serving as a source of heat and energy.

COONCIL MEETS TONIGHT TO CUT BUDGET FIGURES Three Items Singled Out as ‘Too Higlv; Hope to Pare sl.lO Rate. Various city department heads will explain to members of the city council why items contained in the proposed 1931 budget affecting their departments should not be reduced, 1 it was announced today. The council will meet as a committee of the whole tonight. Wednes- ; day night and three nights next ?.eek to consider each item, to re- j duce, if posible, the proposed sl.lO levy, recommended in the budget j presented to the council Monday night. Three points of attack which have ; been indicated are: Increase of the ! World war memorial bond fund levy ; from % cent to 1.7 cents; addition of a $3,000 a year assistant superin - ;endent at the municipal airport, and the increase from 9.4 cents to 10 cents for the public health levy. The memorial tax boost is advocated because the fund from which the bond payments were financed has been exhausted, but opponents claim the figure is too high. Opposition to the appointment of an assistant to the airport superintendent has gained headway, as it was learned that only five men now are emloyed at the field, and the $3,000 to be paid the assistant and the $3,600 paid the superintendent total slightly less than one-third the entire budget for the airport. An increase of $43,848.21 for the city hospital is recommended in order to take care of the upkeep of the 124 additional beds, and it is indicated ‘hat a thorough analysis of the city hospital budget will be made.

PUBLICITY WAR IS WAGED BY MAJORPARTIES $25,000*a-Year Men Head Propaganda Campaign for Public Favor. Bu United Press WASHINGTON, Aug. 19. A unique struggle for national publicity is being waged by especially employed experts, $25.000-a-year men. in control of Republican and Democratic congressional campaign propaganda. A climax to this strange battlf* was reached Monday night when Jouett Shouse, Democratic national executive committee chairman, broadcast over a national hookup, a criticism of President Hoover, based upon a charge that the executive had failed to warn the country of “the inevitable crash of business.” Cost Is Reported High At a reported cost of $5,000 a night the Democrats have employed one of the national broadcasting agencies for circulating a series of similar political lectures. The Republican publicity organization has arranged to obtain as much time on the air as the Democrats. Their answer to Shouse will be broadcast over the same radio network next Monday night by Senator Simeon D. Fess, new Republican national committee chairman. Thereafter, speakers representing the two parties will alternate on Monday nights. The Republicans issued mimeographed answers to Shouse Monday night even before he had finished speaking. One statement delivered from tho Republican national committee quoted Majority Leader Tilson of ths house as asserting Shouse's talk was “an amazing collection of half truths, misstatements, abuse and criticism.” Pay Experts $25,000 Yearly The Smith-Raskob group established a full-time publicity bureau here after the last presidential campaign. Charles Michaelson, head of the New York World bureau here, was employed as director at a salary reputed to be $25,000 a year.
