Local anesthetics linked to many deaths, two doctors say
Two physicians warned at the American Medical Association meeting that local anesthetics can be deadlier than common drugs when applied to mucous membranes or broken skin. Investigators Campbell and Adrian studied absorption in skin and mucous tissues, noting rapid uptake from open sores and slower absorption in intact skin and oily lesions. They found blood levels rose fastest when drugs touched damaged tissue.

Ten Nations Seek Two Year Delay in UN Charter Review
Ten UN members led by Brazil Canada Egypt El Salvador India Indonesia Ireland Iran Liberia and Panama formally urged postponing the review of the UN charter for at least two more years. The General Assembly had formed a special committee in 1955 to set time and place for a conference and was to report by fall. The sponsors asked the committee to continue and report at the 15th session in 1959. The proposal notes the charter requires review after the UN is 10 years old, but many delegates doubt the 1956 atmosphere favored a delay.
