Survey Discovers Baby Infections Amid Hexachlorophene Warning
A summit of pediatric doctors and two federal agencies convened to discuss outbreaks of staphylococcal infections in at least 20 hospital nurseries since a January 19 nationwide survey began. The FDA’s prior warning against total body bathing with hexachlorophene and the push for strict hand washing prompted hospital reviews. Yale New Haven Hospital reopened limited hexachlorophene use after finding 15 babies with staph in one nursery, with only two infected.

No Heresy Found Yet At Concordia
ST. LOUIS AP No clear evidence of teaching false doctrines at Concordia Seminary has been found in an investigative report examined by the Board of Control. The 1000 page inquiry concerns seminary faculty and alleged heresy ordered by Dr. Jacob A O Preus. Board member Charles H Burmeister says results so far show no proof, with full review still pending as next meetings address contract renewal for Old Testament professor Arlis Ehlen and finalize conclusions by summer. Concordia, the nation’s largest Lutheran seminary, is part of the Lutheran Church Missouri Synod with about 3 million members.

Senators OK Direct Aid To Students
The Missouri Senate Higher Education Committee advanced a bill to provide up to 3.5 million next year for needy students in private and state schools, with anti religious-use safeguards and grants up to 900 dollars annually based on financial need. Private schools back the measure to compete with cheaper public institutions and lessen long term state costs. The committee also deferred action on an ombudsman bill and on a homestead tax exemption measure.
