Earl Long’s supporters survived a late bid to return the bill to the calendar. Senator Downs warned of budget implications if tidelands funds fail to materialize, while Cole faced cuts opposing Education Department inclusion.

Treatment Of Blood Disease Advance Told
SAN FRANCISCO AP Unex pected new beneficial results in the treatment of blood vessel disease by feeding patients large amounts of vegetable fats were announced Sunday by Dr. Laurance W. Kinsell of Oakland California. He said many patients who had been unable to walk have returned to full activity and some diabetics with kidney and eye trouble improved significantly under the diet. He cautioned that he could not yet attribute the gains to the diet alone. The fat compounds in the blood stream moved toward normal, suggesting a deficiency in essential fatty acids may underlie cell changes. If confirmed, proper vegetable fats might correct these cell abnormalities. Researchers note that unsaturated fatty acids in vegetable oils can dissolve patches of protein fat on inner vessel walls, which can harden or close arteries.
