Barnett Rosenberg, professor of
biophysics at Michigan State
University (MSU), isn't talking
much about reports that his re-
search team may have discover-
ed a body-cooling drug which
could prolong human life expec-
tancy to 200 years or more.
"This thing is blown all out of
proportion," said Rosenberg.
"Speculation is what's made
this story," says Phil Miller of
MSU's information service.
ROSENBERG'S research team
has succeeded in prolonging the
life of fruit flies-but not with
body-cooling drugs. Instead, the
fruit flies' body temperatures
were lowered environmentally.
Now the research team is ex-
perimenting with mice, using as
yet unnamed drugs, but Rosen-
berg hasn't released any results
of his mice experiments. And
Miller noted that evensaspirin
lowers body temperature.
According to Miller, humans
thru
Classified
and mice are homeotherms-they
maintain a constant body tem-
perature. Fruit flies assume the
temperature of the surrounding
environment. Miller thinks all the
current speculation is based on
the assumption that research with
fruit flies can be carried over
to humans.
MILLER CITES a report by
Rosenberg concerning the non-
existence of any life-prolonging
drug: "I'd like to make it ab-
solutely certain that no one gets
a false impression. We are at
the present time looking for
drugs which would be able to
lower the body temperature, but
at the present time we have no
information such a drug will
achieve the effect that we have
predicted for our theory."
"Our theory suggests that if
we could lower the core body
temperature of humans by only
a few degrees (Centigrade) we
should be able to increase the
life expectancy of an individual,"
the report notes.
MILLER SAYS MSU has been
getting calls from ''all over."~
Even Europeans have called,
excited about the research.
Miller blamed a Detroit news-
paper for exaggerating the story
initially and running it at the
top of their front page. Later the
wire services picked it up. Miller
called the story a "gross exag-
geration of a relatively simple
laboratory finding."
The University of Michigan
Biophysics Department is not
engaged in any research with
body-cooling drugs.

Free money
With prices rising like they do these days, it's nice to have some spare cash. Some people received
an unexpected bonus yesterday as the woman at left, who refused to identify herself, passed out
dollar bills on a corner in downtown Portland, Oregon. She said she did it to make people happy.

WASHINGTON (AP) --Wholesale
prices advanced sharply in
March as increases for industrial
goods outweighed declines in
farm and food prices, the gov-
ernment reported yesterday.
The Labor Department said its
overall wholesale price index
rose a seasonally adjusted 1.3
per cent last month following a
WANTED:
Pre-1949 copies
of the
Micigonension
Box No. 4
SI
jump of 1.2 per cent in Febru-
ary. Unadjusted, the increase
was 1.2 per cent.
T H O U G H substantial the
increases of the past two months
were more moderate than in the
November - January period.
With metals, and fuel leading
the way, industrial commodities
jumped 2.9. per cent both ad-
justed and unadjusted, in March,
the second biggest monthly in-
crease since 1946.
The rise was exceeded only by
last November's 3.2 per cent in-
crease.
Industrial prices are regarded
as one of the most sensitive
gauges of inflation in the econo-
my, as opposed to food prices
which move erratically from
month to month.
Farm products, processed
foods and feeds dropped in price
for the first time in four months,
by a seasonally adjusted, 2.1 per
cent. This was caused mainly by
decreases for livestock, grains,
raw cotton, eggs, poultry and
fresh fruits and vegetables.
SINCE WHOLESALE
prices are usually reflected later
at the retail level, higher prices
for manufactured goods are like-
ly in the coming months. How-
ever ,there is no guarantee the
decline in food prices will be
passed along to consumers as
supermarkets try to recoup pro-
fits squeezed in earlier months.
The decline in food followed
three months of hefty increases.
