Erdős problem 1176

Let GG be a graph with chromatic number 1\aleph_1. Is it true that there is a colouring of the edges with 1\aleph_1 many colours such that, in any countable colouring of the vertices, there exists a vertex colour containing all edge colours?

Let GG be a graph with chromatic number 1\aleph_1. Is it true that there is a colouring of the edges with 1\aleph_1 many colours such that, in any countable colouring of the vertices, there exists a vertex colour containing all edge colours?

A problem of Erdős, Galvin, and Hajnal. The consistency of this was proved by Hajnal and Komjáth.
