FDA Aide Warns Against Antibiotics For Minor Infections
A top FDA official told a Senate subcommittee that using antibiotics for minor infections can cause blood poisoning and deadly super infections. Dr. Henry E. Simmons cited studies estimating 100,000 to 300,000 annual blood poisoning cases and 30 to 50 percent fatalities, plus up to 60 percent of hospitalized patients given antibiotics showing no infection evidence. He warned of resistant bacteria and millions may be overtreated yearly, with Chloramphenicol singled out for dangerous side effects like fatal aplastic anemia.

Nixon ees Volpe to Rome post in a reshuffle
The article reports that Volpe is slated to replace Graham Martin as ambassador to Italy, with Brinegar from Daytona Speedway also in consideration for a Senate confirmation. Ziegler emphasizes the need to confirm both Volpe and Brinegar, citing Volpe’s aim to expand a flexible highway program while pursuing a stronger transit system in U S cities. The Highway Action Coalition objects to Brinegar’s nomination, linking it to campaign contributions against Proposition 18 and highlighting transit funding debates.
