- By PAUL SIMMONS
ATLANTA, March 12—(AP)—
In a death-ridden week here last
Criober, a number of persons
complained of “seeing the wind.”
.t was an ill omen, Some lived
be-ely long enough to repeat the
tole of a deadly poisen liquor epi
demie.
Tive months later, four young
doctors, who were in the micst of
the scourge, have published a
m>dical review of the methyl or

ported was an illusion of “seeing
the wind.”
Others saw a “skim” or a
“snowstorm,” brightness, flashes
or dancing spots before their eyes.
These sensations were all de
grees of the visual disturbance at
tending wood alcohol polsoning,
Frenzied Week
The four doctors making the re
port are resident physicians at
publicly-owned Grady Memorial
Hospital where 323 imbibers of
“alley” whisky were treated dur
ing the frenzied week of death,
CCFS CROW'S CO
of these had not actually
drunk of a deadly batch of 60
gallons testing up to 35 per cent
wood alcohol, but had fled to the
hospital in terror as the polson
deaths mounted.
The medical report appears in
the Journal of the Medical Asso
| clation of Georgia, which praises
it as a “real contribution to our
knowledge of methyl alcohol pois~
oning.”
Its authors are Drs. Manuel N,
Cooper, George L. Mitchell, jr.,
Ivan L. Bennett, jr. and Freeman
H. Cary,
Their paper focused sharply on
two points: 1. Use of a simple,
swift test to detect methanol pois
oning; 2. Prompt and sometimes
massive administration of sodium
bicarbonate in 3 to 5 per cent
golution to neutralize the severe
acidosis of such poisoning.
| On the latter point, the Georgia
Medical Journal said:
“The importance of alkali in
treatment had not been stressed
in most textbooks of medicine; yet
there can be no question that
many lives were saved by the en
ergetic administration of sodium
bicarbonate by these young physi
cians,”
To diagnose methanol lnto_xica
tion, the doctors used a new meth
od described by the Mayo clinic.
It requires only a test tube, a few
simple reagents and two tubercu- |
lin syringes. It yields in one min- |
ute highly satisfactory findirgs
from a cubic centimeter of serum
obtained from centrifuged, fresh
ly drawn blood. |
Fortunate Result
A fortunate result-of the vigo
rous alkali treatment was to cut
down evil after-effects, especially
where patients followed instruc
tions to take bicarb by mouth for
at least 48 hours after leaving the
hospital.
Although there was serious im
pairment of sight, follow up stu
dies show that none of the sur
vivors is totally blind from his
poisoning. Most have shown con
tinued gradual improvement.
But the results were tragic
when patients disregarded the
doctor’s orders to take the -soda
orally. Six of such who had re
sponded well previously relapsed
into the death-dealing acidosls.
Three were saved, but the others
died.

Decline Slightly
Georgia's retailers sold about
the same dollar volume of goods
in February 1952 as in February
1951. However, the sales figures
indicate some slight decline in ac~
tivity, as this leap-year February
had an extra shopping day and
receipts included a 3 perycent sales
tax which was not in ef{:ct a year
ago. On the other hand, scare
buying was at a peak in February
1951, and almost matching that
period is a real matketing accom
plishment.
The preliminary estimate of the
change in retail trade in Febru
ary, released today by the Bureau
of Business Research, University
of Georgia, listed eating and
drinking place, general (chiefly
rural) stores, and apparel stores,
in line with the state average of
little change. Funiture-household
radio, drug, food, and general
merchandise( department, variety,
dry goods) stores reported gains
compared with a year ago. Lum
ber-Building-Hardware sales were
down about 10 per cent and sales
of the automotive group, dropped
very slightly. This .auto sales
movement is especially likely to
be changed by later returns, as
there was no pronounced trend
evident in the early reports. In
contradiction to the state average
decrease, in the automobile group
60 per cent of the firms experi
enced from slight to moderate in
creases in sales.
Augusta, Albany, and Valdosta
reported higher sales than a year
ago, Savannah and Columbus
lower salese. Macon, like the state
. as a whole, held the 1951 level.
| Food sales continued up in Feb
ruary compared with January but
'less vigorously than for the last
| several months. Most other groups
|showed little change, but de=-
, creases in Men’s and boys’ wear
{and in the lumber business

Court Rules On
Car Confiscation
ATLANTA, March 13—(AP)—
The Georgia Court of Appeals
Wednesday reversed Fulton Su
perior Court and ruled that under
the state's liquor laws wehicles
cannot be confiscated in wet
counties except for hauling non
tax-paid liquor.
The state attempted to condemn
a car owned by R. A. Clements
on the grounds that it was used
to transport two pints of tax-paid
liquor in wet Fulton county for
the purpose of sale on Sunday.
The Superior Court ordered the
vehicle condemned but the Ap
peals Court held the state bone
dry law does not apply in wet
counties.
The court said that the only
applicable law makes it a mis
demeanor fo:;rfrivate, contract or
common carriers to transport
non-tax-paid whisky except to the
state warehouse.
The liquor involved in the Cle
‘ments proceedings, it added, was
tax-paid and lawful to possess
and transport in a wet county.
