...last week's A.M.A. Journal, Pediatricians Irwin J. Light and James M. Sutherland reported how well the technique worked. They grew a gentle strain of staph, dubbed 502A, in soy broth, and swabbed a minute amount of the germ-laden fluid into the nostrils and on the unhealed navels of one-hour-old babies in Cincinnati General Hospital. The 502A "took"; air sampling and other tests showed that dangerous strains of staph soon disappeared from the nurseries. But the harmful strains reappeared after swabbing was stopped. Medical men call the staph v. staph process "bacterial interference...
...mile. Columbia Professor William Vickrey says that the "subsidy" on some expressways is as much as 10? per car-mile, roughly equal to the vehicle's operating cost. On balance, however, the motorist saves big sums in reduced operating and accident costs, saved time and lessened strain. The road-building money is extracted from the motorist himself, in taxes on fuel, tires, accessories and truck weight. In the Interstate system, which is supposed to cost $46.8 billion by the time it is finished in 1972, the Federal Government pays 90% of the cost and the local governments chip...
...method is not recommended for routine, continuous use because some babies develop a rash from 502A. But it can be instituted whenever a virulent strain of "hospital staph" is detected in a nursery, and in at least six hospitals it has halted such invasions...
...fight staph with staph. There are as many varieties of staph as there are breeds of dogs, and some are harmless while others are vicious. Researchers in Manhattan and Cincinnati got the idea that if they could "infect" newborn babies with a harmless strain, these germs might somehow prevent later invasion by dangerous strains...
...last week that more than 1,000,000 factory workers will win automatic boosts of 1? to 3? an hour because of the increase in consumer prices during the last three months. The Administration's 3.2% wage guideline, already shattered in autos and aluminum, is under the added strain of a growing shortage of skilled labor. Shipbuilders, aircraft and steel companies and machine shops are short of engineers, pipe fitters, welders, mechanics and metal workers; auto companies are lending their tool and die operators to machine toolmakers to help them fill Detroit's orders...
