Budget abuse
Survey reveals business weekends mean wasted billions
United Press International
SAN FRANCISCO —Most U.S.
businesses could do a better job of
managing their travel and entertain
ment costs, a recent survey shows.
Judith Dettinger, editor of the
1984-1985 American Express Sur
vey of Business Travel says, “Ex
penses run from soup to nuts, but
it’s a $90 billion area for United
States companies.”
Dettinger said many corporate
budgets could save 10 percent to 40
percent on expenses such as air
travel, car rental, hotel accommoda
tions and entertainment costs.
Dettinger cited the frequent flyer
programs offered by the airlines as
an example of business-traveler
abuse.
The easiest way to discourage
abuse of frequent flyer programs is
to require air travelers to request
flights according to approximate ar
rival and departure times rather
than by specific carrier or flight
number, Dettinger says.
A record-keeping system that
shows which travelers reject the low
est logical airfare is one of the most
effective ways to turn up possible
abuses, she said.
Every business, she said, should
have a travel policy that sets
guidelines for everything from find
ing the lowest-priced plane ticket to
staying in chain hotels that offer cor-
porate rates.
Travel policies should include a
statement of purpose, instructions
for use, and explicit guidelines for
in-town and out-of-town expenses.
The policies should also include de
tailed instructions on how to handle
expense reports, clear instructions
on expense documentation and
guidelines for obtaining prior ap
proval for travel.
It is suggested a company work
with a qualified travel agency that
can obtain those low air fares and
special hotel rates.
The new survey, which polled fi
nancial officers at more than 1,700
companies, indicated 60 percent of
the businesses have a written travel
policy.
The survey indicated that many
companies could make im
provements in the way they pay for
corporate travel.
“Fifty-six percent (of the busi
nesses) pay for air travel by check to
travel agencies on a weekly basis,”
Dettinger said. “They could be
charging those costs and taking ad
vantage of the float for 45 days.”
Float is the time between receipt
of services and payment for those
services.
One of the biggest sources of
abuse are cash advances to cover
travel costs, Dettinger says.
George Scarfo, an associate 0 f
Dettinger in American Express
Travel Management Services, say s
some companies have had millions
of dollars outstanding in cash ad-
vances.
Scarfo said in one company they
studied, employees could draw up t 0
$ 1,000 at a time on their own signa-
ture. Sometimes these employees
weren’t even taking a trip out of
town, Scarfo said.
He said another company allowed
employees with only one signature
from a manager to withdraw up to
$10,000.
Dettinger said people were taking
out money and putting it in money
market accounts.
“They were having a good time
until we came along,” she said.
Doctors testing new cancer treatment
United Press International
BOSTON — Researchers in New
York, San Francisco, Los Angeles
and Houston believe they might be
able to stop a cancer that has begun
attacking AIDS victims.
The researchers reported in the
British medical journal Lancet that
they have found 90 homosexual
men with acquired immune defi
ciency syndrome who also have a
cancer known as non-Hodgkin’s
lymphoma.
Non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma is a
cancer of the lymph nodes that
might be caused by viruses. AIDS re
duces the body’s ability to fight vi
ruses.
Data from the San Francisco and
Los Angeles areas shows a three-fold
increase of non-Hodgkin’s lym
phoma among homosexual men
since 1980, the year AIDS first was
dicovered. .
The American Cancer Society has
estimated there will be 23,700 new
cases of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma
in 1984 and 12,900 deaths.
Until now, most victims of non-
Hodgkin’s lymphoma died vyithin a
year of contracting the cancer. Ra
diation and chemotherapy were
usually able to stop the disease for
about six months, but it always re
turned.
Doctors at the Dana-Farber Can
cer Institute in Boston have been
able to stop the cancer in six of eight
patients using a new technique of re
moving bone marrow, treating it
with monoclonal antibodies and re
turning it to the patient.
Monoclonal antibodies are new
chemicals that when injected into the
body attach themselves to particular
types of cells. The antibodies can
carry powerful poisons that kill the
target cells.
The antibodies are used to deliver
strong drug doses to the marrow
once it is extracted from the patient’s
body. In the meantime, the patient
receives radiation treatments to kill
the residual marrow that could not
be extracted.
The treatment usually takes about
five days, followed by a four-week
hospitalization. The treatment is
conducted only after a patient has
had an initial remission.
Overusing plasma
adds to viral risks,
some experts say
United Press International
WASHINGTON — Thousands
of people are needlessly receiving
fresh frozen plasma, which increases
the risk of contracting hepatitis and
other diseases, experts say.
Plasma, the liquid portion of
blood, carries red and white blood
cells and contains vital components,
such as proteins responsible for
blood clotting.
These components, however, are
available separately, and most can be
pasteurized to eliminate the threat
of passing hepatitis virus and other
disease-causing viruses.
Fresh frozen plasma cannot be
pasteurized.
Fresh frozen plasma is sometimes
mixed with red blood cells and used
for general blood transfusions be
cause of the shortage of whole
blood. The plasma is also used as a
blood volume builder even though
other products, such as saline solu
tions, would be more suitable, doc
tors dnd advisors said in a National
Institutes of Health conference.
Dr. James L. Tullis, panel chair
man and a retired professor of med
icine at Harvard Medical School,
said members believed doctors were
not using the plasma properly be
cause so many units of the plasma
were being transfused, though no
Statistical evidence was available to
support this.
Tullis estimated that 90 percent of
the fresh frozen plasma use is un
warranted.
The use of fresh frozen plasma
has increased tenfold over the past
five years with about 700,000 people
receiving more than 1.5 million units
a year.
The risk of hepatitis is increased
with the use of fresh frozen plasma
because most cases of hepatitis today
are caused by a type of virus that
cannot be detected. This makes the
use of sterilized products even more
important.
The doctors said it would be diffi
cult to estimate the risk of contract
ing hepatitis from fresh frozen
plasma because the substance is of
ten used with other blood products
that could also carry the virus.
Another hazard, although rare, is
AIDS — acquired immune defi
ciency syndrome. The panel said
seven recipients of fresh frozen
plasma appear to have developed
AIDS.
The panelists said that fresh fro
zen plasma is suitable only for cer
tain patients, such as those with co
agulation protein deficiencies, some
of those who need massive transfu
sions, and those with certain im
mune deficiencies.
Cotton casserole
becomes a reality
United Press International
LUBBOCK — Edible cottonseeds
have existed for years, but industry
officials believe recent involvement
by a Japanese firm will trigger re
newed American interest in this
obscure product.
The Yazaki Corp. based in Shizu
oka, Japan, bought Rogers Delinted
Cottonseed Co. of Waco — the pri
mary firm that developed varieties
producing the edible seed that Ya
zaki has labeled Cot-N-Nuts.
Cottonseed is used primarily for
cattle feed because glands in the cot
ton’s seeds, stems and leaves pro
duce the pigment gossypol, which is
toxic to humans.
But glandless cottonseeds, con
taining no gossypol, are higher in
protein than any other nut and can
be used in cooking.
Farmers and agriculture research
ers had not shown much interest be
fore in glandless cotton because
early varieties produced a low fiber
quality.
Glandless cotton was developed
from a strain found on Arizona’s
Hopi Indian Reservation in 1950.
Rogers started a breeding pro
gram for improved glandless cotton
varieties in 1967.
Bush said the varieties the com
pany had were not productive
enough, but Rogers now has a num
ber of good glandless cotton.
Farmers producing glandless cot
ton sell the seed back to Rogers for a
price above the oil meal price. Mean
while they also collect revenue from
the plant’s fiber, Bush said.
“We’re amazed that it hasn’t
caught on before now,” Bush said,
“but there are a lot of countries —es
pecially Japan — that use vegetable
protein. That’s going to make it
work ... this international connection
(that Yazaki provides)”.
Although the edible seed varieties
could be grown in many cotton-pro
ducing areas, Bush said, West Texas
appears to be the most promising be
cause producers use fewer pesticides
and the area receives limited rain
fall.
Rain discolors the plant and
changes the amino acid composition,
Bush said.
He said farmers could take gland
less cotton to any cotton gin, but the
gin would have to process the gland
less cotton separately from other cot
ton.
“It’s caught in a hopper by itself,”
Bush said. “You don’t have to have a
glandless gin at this point, but we
hope to get gins as we build up our
acreages.”
