THE MICHIGAN DAILY SUNDAY, - - PROVES EFFECTIVE: Dicumarol Shows Little Pill Can Have Big Effect DAILY OFFICIAL BULLETIN A tiny pill has been the sole ob- ject of two years of study by doc- tors at the University Hospital. But that pill is a new and ef- fective blood clot preventative, which is saving the lives of manyI patients after operations and childbirth. Called dicumarol, the aid has been under study by medical men all over the country, and is now produced synthetically by com- mercialfirms. A group of doctors fat the University .Hospital, who studied its results over a two year period, report generally good re- Most of Bogus Dollrs Come From Europe WASHINGTON, Aug. 7.--(P)--_ More than two-thirds of the $3,094,000 in counterfeit American money seized in the last year was made in Europe, the Secret Service reported today. It was the biggest volume of seizures since the service was cre- ated in 1865. , James J. Maloney, Chief of the Secret Service, said in a report to. Treasury Secretary Snyder that over two-thirds of the imitation currency was grabbed at Mar- sailles, France. The report covers the 12 months ended last June 30. Check Thefts But Maloney reported that "by far the greatest enforcement prob- lem" now is the theft and forgery of government checks-mostly tax refunds-and savings bonds. More than 32,000 forged checks and 11,000 forged bonds were received for investigation. The millions of taxpayers who expect refunds, and those who reg- ularly receive government checks for other purposes, were urged to watch their mail boxes carefully. Merchants were asked to de- mand positive identification be- ore cashing checks. Chicago Case The Secret Service arrested 2,278 persons in the year, includ- ing 1,964 for check and bond for- gery and 158 for counterfeiting. The biggest domestic case of the year ended on June 2, when a Fed- eral court gave two-year to ten- year sentences to seven members of a Chicago gang which had manufactured more than $500,000 imn spurus. $5; $10,, $20 and $54. bills., Some $365,000 was seized; the rest had been burned. sults in the 275 cases in which it was used. Lessens Clotting "Dicumarol lessens the body's capacity to manufacture pro- thrombin, one of the components of the clotting mechanism," Dr. Ivan F. Duff, assistant professor of internal medicine, explained. "It is, therefore, used in cases where we want to prevent the for- mation of blood clots. Since di- cumarol does not take effect until 36 to 48 hours after it has been given, we sometimes use another drug, heparin, with it." Most patients treated with the drugs were suffering from venous thrombosis, which is primarily the developmenthof soft, easily dis- lodged clots in the large blood ves- sels of the legs. Feared Trouble "This is one of the feared com- plications after major operations and can happen after childbirth," according to Dr. Robert W. Bux- ton, assistant professor of surgery. "People with some types of serious heart disease and patients who have been bedridden for a long time are also subject to this con- dition." Coronary thrombosis has also been successfully treated with the new drug. In addition, a number of patients at University Hospital were given heparin and dicumarol as a preventative measure. This group included women who had undergone major pelvic opera- tions and patients who, in former illnesses, had blood clot compli- cations. Discovered in Clover One of the great dangers of a clot forming within a blood vessel is that the clot will break off and be carried to the lungs. If it is large enough it may cut off circu- lation in a large part of the lung and produce extensive damage which not uncommonly causes death. . Dicumarol was discovered in spoiled sweet clover when cows, who had eaten it, bled profusely after being caught on barbed wire. In 1941; the active hemorrhagic agent was obtained from the clo- ver by Prof. Karl Paul Link and his associates at the Wisconsin Agricultural Experiment Station at the University of Wisconsin. Ashram at Interlochen Prof. Paul Kauper of the Law School will be one of six princi- pal speakers at the Lutheran Stu- dent Association of America's an- nual Ashram, to be held from Aug. 30 to Sept. 5 at the National Music Camp, Interlochen.

The carrier will be the largest ship afloat, a Navy spokesman said, with a water line length of more than 1,000 feet, and a beam, or width,'of 130 feet. That will be 20 feet wider than the Panama Canal locks. The huge vessel will be con- structed by the Newport News Shipbuilding and Drydock Com- pany, Newport News, Va. The job is expected to take two years. With a speed of approximately 36 knots, the ship will have no is- land on the deck, such as carriers; now have. The additional space will be used in handing larger, carrier bombers now being con- templated. .I Zurich Tours Provide Taste Of SwissLife Report Cheap Meals Offer Lesson to T-) (Continued from Page 1) offer valuable information to the students, but also the discussions between the students themselves. The most popular topic is, of course, the Marshall Plan, and it must be admitted that many ofI these European students fear the Plan almost as much as they wel- come it. They fear the economic domi- nation of Europe by the United States, they wonder what changes in the Plan may be brought about by a Republican administration, and they speculate on their for- tunes under the Plan in the event of another 1929 in this country. Economy-Minded The Michigan Union also make note of the "Uni-Bar" at the Uni- versity of Zurich, where one may purchase a hot dinner complete for 50 cents, a glass of milk for six cents, and the equivalent to a whole Union pie for 20 cents. The tables are so arranged that one may eat while seated on a balcony overlooking the. interior of the University's beautiful mu- seum of ancient and Classical sculpture-evidence of the Swiss belief that education should not even take a back seat to life's lit- tle necessities. Wine-Drinking Tour The Summer School is also sponsoring tours to all parts of Switzerland, where the students will have an opportunity to study various features of the country, such as its government, its indus- try, and its culture. One such tour took us to Zollikon, a suburb of Zurich, where we had a chance to observe elements of Swiss city planning. To make sure that the students never forget the little village of Zollikon, the mayor treated the entire group, about 100 students, to a banquet at which gallons of Swiss wine were consumed in toasting the city, the University, and each country represented by the students gathered there. The Student Legislature might vAell consider approaching the Ann Arbor City Council on the educa- tional features of such tours. The dollars in your pocket de- termine the class of music you prefer, according to a University of Indiana sociologist, the Indiana Daily Student reports. "Classical and light-classical music has the greatest appeal for higher classes in the social-eco- nomic scale, while jazz and hill- billy music appeals more to lower classes," the sociologist said in a recent lecture. * * * The married vet studying in a trailer complete with running children is a better scholastic bet then the easy-going very- bachelor undergraduate male, at the University of Wisconsin, according to the Daily Cardinal. The trailer vets averaged 1.79, all students averaged 1.61 and undergrads 1.67, in a detailed study of university staitistics. (System of points is one lower for each mark than at Univer- sity of Michigan. * * * The flying disk mania recently hit the University of Illinois with reports that "Buck Rogers ships" have been sighted, according to the Daily Illini. Quizzing every localite that knew anything about aviation, the Illini drew comments like: "Hallu- cinations," "Possible," "Eyes play- ing tricks," and "People are just looking for something to talk about." They called last year's flying disks a "hoax."} * * * The used text market is flue- tuating violently at the Univer- sity of Texas, according to the Summer Texan. The large number of veterans buying new books under G.I. Requisitions and turning them in at the end of the term has re- sulted in a "flooded" book mar- ket. Booksellers are looking hopefully to the student who buys used texts for the noting and underlining to take up the surplus. * * * Students earning money as ice- men at Michigan State College have "extra-curricular activities," the Michigan State News- reveals. The ice crew, which numbers five, often gets stuck to feed the baby or move the piano for young student wives. One even reported that he was ordered to close his eyes before entering a trailer with a load of ice. Doing as he was told, the unsuspecting iceman got inside to find a lady in distress with a zipper on the back of her dress. After chunking the ice into the icebox, he zipped it closed, took his change and went on to see what adventure waited at the next stop. * * * The LSU tiger is stalking the longhorn of the University of Texas, according to the Summer Texan. Recent attempts by the Tex- ans to subdue the morale of the Louisiana collegiates with a show of Texas pulchritude found stiff opposition in the form of a pretty coed from LSU touring Texas as part of an "Operation Texas." The Summer Texan philos- ophized that if the campuses worry about the Texas-LSU gridiron clash this fall they won't worry about the 98 degree heat. * * * The Unversity of Colorado will install dial phones throughout the campus before the fall term, ac- cording to the Silver and Gold. The move will put them several decades ahead of Boulder, Col., where the University is located, which will remain on the crank phones. * * * Another 'all-male' tradition has fallen to the advancing ranks of the coeds-. The Summer Round-Up, a com- pletely masculine undertaking at the University of Indiana, which features athletes, singing and banqueting, will feature two fe- male singers-one for pop music and the other for "hill-billy," the Indiana Daily- Student reports Library Science Program Changed Several changes in the fall se- mester curriculum of the Depart- ment of Library Science were an- nounced yesterday. Beginning next semester, nearly all of the professional course work in library science will be per- formed in the Graduate School. The present LS&A program lead-- ing to an A.B. in library science will be discontinued. Students in the future will matriculate as can- didates for M.A. degrees in library science. For admission to the graduate program students must have a high scholastic average, a balanced program of liberal arts subjects and a reading knowledge of French or German. Televised Operas The doors of the Music Center, 210 S. Thayer, will be open from 3:15 to 5 p.m. today to permit in- terested students to view the tele- vision version of the double bill of opera. Both the new opera by Kurt Weill, "Down in the Valley," and the 18th Century "La Serva Pa- drona" will be televised from the stage of Lydia Mendelssohn Thea- tre by WWJ-TV. The program will begin at 3:30 p.m. COLLEGE ROUNDUP: Dollars Determine Music Appreciation Ni ,> h x ;.
