"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.

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. 1 1 Ennuye? Try PARIS. This summer. Learn French. For love and credits.
