Uncountable-chromatic graphs have common \(4\)-chromatic subgraphs

A problem on 4-chromatic subgraphs (proposed by Erdös, Hajnal [1]):
Is it true that if \( G_1, G_2\) are \( \aleph_1\)-chromatic graphs then they have a common \( 4\)-chromatic subgraph?

Erdös, Hajnal and Shelah [2] proved that any \( \omega_1\)-chromatic graph contains all cycles \( C_k\) for \( k > k_0\). Consequently, the above problem has an affirmative answer for 3-chromatic graphs.
