The new drug, approved last month by the Federal Drug Administration was developed by Parke-Davis & Company, a subsidiary of the Warner-Lambert Com- pany, and will be produced under the trade name, Vira-A. Dr. Lerner, Hutzel Hospi- tal's chief of the Depart- ment of Medicine, is also a professor of medicine and chief of the Division of In- fectious Diseases at the Wayne State University School of Medicine. He is a member of Cong. Shaarey Zedek. While the present appli- cation of this research is currently limited to the treatment of herpes simplex virus encephalitis, this mic- robiologic- method is sig- nificant milestone in anti- viral research and holds considerable promise for wider applications in the fu- ture.

MARTIN LERNER organisms, do not respond to treatment with antibiotic compounds.-Viruses, in the past, have been treated in a symptomatic manner, re- lieving outward discomfort while allowing the human body to combat the infection internally. With the development of new anti-viral drugs by the pharmaceutical industry, there is hope that virus ail- ments can be effectively countered in a manner simi- lar to anti-bacterial therapy. AJCongress, Forbes Action Halts Petrodollar Parley Following action by the American Jewish Congress, a "Michigan Congress on Petromarket Realities" to help businessmen ."deal with" the Arab boyasitt, has been canceled after it was revealed that the state of Michigan was falsely listed as a sponsor. The conference was origi- nally scheduled for mid- October at Wayne State University, which had agreed to co-sponsor the event. It was advertised- in the Wall Street Journal, where it was seen by Ruth Rosenbaum, director of the Detroit office of the Ameri- can Jewish Congress. Mrs. Rosenbaum brought it to the attention of State Rep. Joseph Forbes, who has worked cooperatively with the American Jewish Congress in developing state anti-boycott legisla- tion. Rep. Forbes found that the conference had not been authorized by the state legislature and that its funding was never a line item on the budget. A funding item did appear in the budget for a Middle East economic develop- ment conference which (MereSCILIb) was to include Israel, but not for a conference on petrodollars, Rep. Forbes said. The co-chairmen of the Michigan state legislature subcommittee on appro- priations — Sen. Bill S. Huffman and Rep. Gary M. Owen — immediately in- formed the WSU coor- dinators of the conference that the legislature's name was being used illegiti- mately and without adequate clearance. The university then decided to cancel the conference. Mrs. Rosenbaum said AJCongress was now inves- tigating the coordinator of the "Michigan Congress on Petromarket Realities," an organization known as Mabco, Inc. In its promotional material for the confer- ence, Mabco identified it- self as a "producer of highly successful inter- national petromarket conferences primarily re- lated to the Arab world." The Mabco brochure said the petromarket conference was "a cooperative venture researched and planned by one of the nation's largest universities (Wayne State.)" It listed these six bodies as providing assistance: U.S. Department of Commerce, Chamber of Commerce of Greater Detroit, American-Arab Association for Commerce and Industry, U.S.-Arab Chamber of Commerce, Mid-America- Arab Chamber of Com- merce and Royal Embassy of Saudi Arabia. Resource people for the conference, Mabco said in its promotional literautre, had been "invited from a wide spectrum of Arab and American industry and de- velopment." Hillel Moses Men's Club will sponsor another pro- gram in its breakfast series 10 a.m. Sunday in the synagogue. Irwin Shaw, former executive vice president of the Jewish, Community , Center, will speak on "The Detroit Jewish Community: Its Be- ginnings and Now." The public is invited. Herman Strassubrger is breakfast forum chairman. Judge Bernard Kaufman is men's club president. DRIVE A CAR or SEND YOUR CAR TO ANY STATE Wyn & Harold Landis HOME CATERING !.C.C.
