munization
. By DR. THOMAS D, MASTERS
Seasonal hay-fever will again discomfort, reduced efficiency, and
this year be responsible for much days lost from work. This sum-
mer, because of the war effort and need for ‘increased man hours, control of hay-fever will be more important than ever. Seasonal hay-fever is due to the air-borne pollens. These may be
considered in three groups. In the spring, the pollens of In the summer, the so-called “rose-cold” is not. due to i rose pollen, which because of its size and weight is not air-horne, but is due to the ‘pollens of
of hay-fever, which lasts till frost, is due to the : pollens of the rag-weeds.. Such are the common causes of seasonal hay-fever. Occasionally, other pollens are responsible for ort, but because of the fact ‘that ‘they are not widely diffused, exposure must:be-more-direct, as ‘in smelling the actual plants, or in. the environs of a florist’s. .shop. .
: Symptoms Vary The manifestations of hayfever may vary considerably. They may be restricted to a swollen nasal mucous membrane, with
frequént sneezing, and an irritating mucous discharge. Often the eyes are congested,’ watery, itchy, and even swollen. The more severe cases may develop asthma
Dr. Masters
established. In conjunction with these local evidences, there is usually a general lassitude and malaise which makes any effort at activity extremely difficult. The symptoms may cause a sufficient' loss of sleep to exhaust the victim. Frequently, mild = hay-fever may be mistaken for a “cold,” but. the regular onset at about
the same time each year, coin-
ciding with the pollination of the offending plant, readily clarifies the picture. - As a result of the injury to the membranes: of the nose. and sinuses, and particularly because of the obstruction of the normal airway from swelling, secondary infection of the nasal sinuses is common and may cause at least part of the symptoms to continue
longer than the period of pol-
lination. a Masks, Filters Useless
There is no satisfactory way to be happy after the hay-fever season starts. Those who have sought a region relatively “free from pollen are not going to find that course so easy this ‘year. Those who ‘have a. satisfactory room-ventilator or . air-cleaner can be comfortable part of the time at least. : Masks and nasal filters are of little or no practical value. The most important drugs are those capable of constricting bloodvessels. Ephedrine-hydrochloride or sulphate, U. S. P. 1% per cent. aqueous or isotomic solution, is a typical example. Two ror. three drops in each nasal cavity several times a day will give partial and temporary relief. «An inhaler - containing amphetamine is convenient and gives much relief to persons: who are not sensitive to the drug: : The important treatment of seasonal hay-fever is immunization, which in a very high percentage of cases (80 per cent to 90 per cent) gives complete or at least very satisfactory relief. This procedure must be undertaken by a physician and the prophylactic injections must be started about 10 weeks in advance of the season.

ia DUE ON MONDAY
Firms Say They Will Still
Continue to Prepare All Receipts.
The beef supply in Indianapolis will be less starting Monday when the 10 per cent rollback on prices become effective, local agreed today. However, while some packing firms in Ohio and Kentucky said they had “killed for the last time until the ‘government subsidiés insure us against loss,” officials of slaughtering firms here’ said they
would continue to. slaughter all :
available receipts. Several reasons were assigned for the anticipated shortage. ' Spokesmen for meat firms said 45 per cent of the available supply is going to the armed forces and lendlease: less cattle is being received because ‘farmers are reluctant to sell at currently fixed prices; packers’ profits are at a minimum; the
forthcoming reduction in prices}
may tend to increase operations in black markets. : * Slaughtering Cut , A spokesman at the Armour Packing Co., one of the largest here, said the company had slaughtered beef only one day. this week and that the total processed was not up to normal. He said that any change in the supply probably would be for the worse. The spokesman added, as an example, that May cattle slaughtering was only about 79 per cent of .the total for that month a year ago. He added that there was still and probably will be a plentiful supply of pork because hog raising is a faster process than that of beef. A spokesman for Kingan & Co. was hesitant at expressing an opinjon on ‘what the supply might be until - new prices become effective. He expréssed fear, however, thatthe rollback might bring increased black market operations. Sees Shortage A Swift & Co. spokesman predicted a shortage, but doubted that price reductions in the legitimate market would spur black market operations. An official of the Indiana Retail Grocers & Meat Dealers’ association said there was no ‘indication of any packing houses here closing. Five packing plants in Ohio suspended operations. They attributed
regulations or uncertainty on their part over the federal meat subsidy. Louisville, Ky., was virtually without ‘beef today after two major packing companies closed because
{they said that in recent weeks they
had been losing $15 to $20 on each head of cattle killed. At Sioux City, Ia. four companies closed, complaining of losses.

By HARRISON SALISBURY United Press Staff Correspondent LONDON, June 19. — Announcement that Britain proposes to set up a separate East Asia command and the appointment of Field Marshal Sir Archibald Wavell as viceroy of India were regarded today as the initial steps toward a major allied offensive in Burma, possibly when the monsoon season ends about Oct. 1. Far-reaching plans for the Burma offensive, it was assumed, were blue-printed by President Roosevelt and Prime Minister Churchill |last month in Washington during global strategy conferences in which both Wavell and Lt. Gen. Joseph W. Stilwell, American commander in. China, Burma ahd India, participated. . © ‘Burma See¢n Vital Stilwell may be intrusted with the supreme command of allied forces in East Asta, it was speculated here, much as Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower was made supreme commander over allied forces in the Mediterranean theater. However, the top post might. go. to Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek, with Stilwell gs active commander of military operations. It long has been recognized that the first blow in any long-range offensive against Japan will have to be struck in Burma to reopen the Burma supply road to China. Until then; only a comparative trickle of arms and. other supplies can reach

China by air and over a long, tedious overland route through mountains of northern India and China. Once ‘the Burma road. is reopened, supplies can pour into China in a steady stream for operations to capture bases in eastern China from which to launch air and possibly . amphibious . operations against Japan itself. : An allied offensive in Burma also might. lead to the liberation of the Malay states and the Singapore naval fortress. The appointment of Wavell, regarded by the British public as one of the country’s ablest and most brilliant military leaders in world war II, to succeed Lord Linlithgow as viceroy of India was interpreted as further confirmation that theallies envision India as the major -allied supply: base for East Asia.
Auchinleck in Charge
Wavell’s military genius and vast experience will be at the disposal of the new East Asia command and he personally probably will play a large role in building up India as a supply and reinforcement base, - Though he will not take: over the post ‘of viceroy until Linlithgow retires in October, Wavell stepped down immediately from the. command of British armies in India and it was announced that he will be succeeded immediately by Gen.

GALVESTON, Ind, June 19.— Carl Hightower, the basketball coach at the high school of this
county jail at Logansport, 17 miles away, today for questioning in connection wtih the shotgun wounding of a 13-year-old boy. - : Sheriff, Elmer Craig said the shooting climaxed a series of annoyances at the Hightower home by boys of high school age, boys whom Hightower, here for a year, coached and taught. The sheriff said he believed that the wounded boy was only an onlooker and was not one of those who had been annoying Hightower and his wife.
Wound Not Serious >
.The wounded boy is Wayne Warner, son of Thomas Warner. ‘He! and his 11-year-old brother were standing near the yard of the Hightower home when the shooting occurred. Hightower, according to: authorities, previously had’ told the town marshal, Glen Lawrence, that he would use a shotgun. if boys continued to disturb him and his wife. After yesterday's shooting an angered crowd gathered around the Hightower home. While Hightower is held for questioning, authorities said they expected the Warner boy’s father to file charges. The boy’s wound was not serious.

the office of war information,
The challenge was in house
amendments to the $2,898,941,504 war agencies appropriation bill. The senate will consider them next week.
The full fury of an angry house
was unleashed in a 10-hour session on the politically unpopular OPA and OWI.
When the house recessed near 9 p. m., last night, the casualties— unless the senate restores them—in-
cluded some of the administration’s pet anti-inflation projects such as the rollback-subsidy program and some of congress’ pet peeves,
The senate is expected to deal a
little more kindly with OPA and OWI, but one administration spokesman said that if the house amend-
ments are upheld the answer is “un-
tontrolled inflation.”
OWI Director Elmer Davis, however, said that senate concurrence in the ban on the food subsidy program means “some other way will have to be found to keep food prices under control.” He had no comment on the denial of funds to OWI for its home-front operations.
Rep. Wright Patman (D. Tex), a recent convert to the subsidyrollback = program, warned the house that its ban on subsidies not only would end the food price rollback program, but abolish transportation subsidies on fuel and oil moving to the East, and on mining of war-needed copper and other strategic minerals.
.Committee Ignored
. The house action was the result of an accumlation of bitterness toward various government agencies and broadside attacks on the administration’s attempt to hold the line against inflation. Many committees in both the senate and house have been sounding boards for several weeks for criticism of the home front. agencies, especially OPA which also is harrassed by internal personnel problems. The house paid no heed to its appropriations .committee which, in reporting the bill earlier this weck, had lavishly praised the work of the war agencies, giving ‘them a virtual clean bill of health. The ax fell on OPA after two
days of charges in a house com-|
D. R. Perils
mittee that an OPA “plot” to regu= late profits as well as prices had been discovered. OWI's domestic - branch—about 1100 employees—-fell a casualty after Davis in a Boston speech this week asserted that Washington news was not being adequately covered. He has been accused by house members of attempting to ‘control the press. The vote. to abolish OWI's domes= ; tic functions was 218 to 144, southe ern Democrats voting with Repub. licans. All of the important votes against OPA policy were voice votes. The vote to reduce OPA’s appropriation was 185 to 147.
Four Amendments Passed
The most severe blows were struck at the OPA in four restric tive amendments which would practically outlaw the pirce rolls back and grade-labeling programs and neccesitate a complete reorgaile ization of the agency. They proe vided : 1. That no salaries be paid OPA employees who ‘direct” or “aue thorize” the establishment of sube sidies. This struck at the heart of the roll-back program which hinges on the payment of subsidies to processors of food products. 2. That no funds be used in the promulgation of orders establishe ing grade labeling or brand stand ardization on food, clothing or other civilian commodities. 3. That all policy-making executives of the OPA must have at least five years’ experience in the busie ness field over which they have . authority. 4. Reduction of the OPA’s gene eral appropriation for the 1944 fise cal year from $165,000,000 to $130,« 000,000. Senate Republicans were in ‘a - mood to receive the roll-back block with open arms. It came from the house only a few hours after 14 Re~ publicans petitioned Republican Leader Charles L. McNary of Ore= gon to force action next week on legislation to prevent extension of the program. Enactment of the house subsidies amendment, sponsored by Rep, Everett Dirksen (R. Ill.) would pree vent OPA Administrator Prentiss M. Brown from spending funds promised for the roll-back program by the reconstruction finance core poration over which congress has no direct cvontrol, according to ade
vocates.
