It consists only of cabinet. Within its glass are over 300 labeled chemicals which have been isolated from living tubercle bacilli and which represent seventeen years of effort expended a by Dr. Rudolph Anderson, with the financial support | of the National Tuberculosis Association. These 300- odd exhibits embody the most complete chemical analysis ever made of a microbe Why this concentration on disease? that certain bacilli are the cause of tuberculosis. Physicians must know what chemical compounds in the bacilli destroy tissue and what compounds are harmless. Given that knowledge, it will ultimately be- come possible to treat tuberculosis not empirically, as at present, but scientifically, with a good chance of reducing mortality to something negligible. To Dr. William C. White goes the credit for this new approach. He was struck by the argument of the chemistry of Dr. Esmond R. Long, now a colonel in the Army, that | since*the tubercle bacillus can grow on inorganic food | With a | it must produce its own organic substances. grant from the National Tuberculosis Association Dr. {.nug began the arduous task of isolation and enlisted Hashinglon Merry- 50-Round (Continuea 1rom Page One) \ war.

Taking into account the larger population of this country, U.

Nevertheless, all the members of the committee except Mead of New | York, Kilgore of West Virginia and Wallgren of Washington voted to over-ride his tax blll veto “100 FIRST COMPANIES"” The Trumanites found that of the 100 companies getting 70 per- cent of the war contracts, only nine were {ree of exe profits in 1942 Here are some of the companies and their lush profits unearthed by the Truman sleuths: 1.)

In turn, Professor Johnson suggested that Prof. R. J. Anderson be persuaded to collaborate. It is to Professor Ande: son, probably the best-informed man in the world on the chemistry of the tubercle bacillus, that thanks must be given for the progress thus far made. The 300 chemicals in the Yale collection are not Jjust. curiosities but practical working tools. Many have been tested by Dr. Florence R. Sabin and her col- leagues at the Rockefeller Institute in the animal body to determine their activity in the hope of discovering an out-and-out cure for tubercul What we have here is not an example of the scientific method at its best but an example of the manner in which that method should be supported by long-term grants, Building for the Future (Cincinnati Enquirer) There are many expressions of disapproval !hum days, particularly from men in service, of profits which result from the war. Included among those profits are our rather spare industrial earnings, after taxes | are deducted, wages of workmen and incomes of farm Servicemen point out that civilians at home now are laying aside the greatest cash savings of all history, while they who are fighting the wars which make such earnings possible can save little if any- thing at all. There are those who see great injustice in any profits which accrue from battle On the surface such an argument find considerable sympathy.

BROMFIELD, THE PROPHET Agriculture Wickard is chuckling over a letter he has received from the Reader’s Digest, signed by William Hard, Jr., ctic note of a corres last summer when the Digest pub- shed the Louis Bromfield article, Wickard wrote to the refuting Novelist Bromfield, an article of saying we would have plenty to eat. But the Digest declined to hear the They confided privately to Brom- were Il,v reactions to his story, but pub« Crossfiord Puzzle while the fellow at home who earns twice that in a week can save plenty? But is that really an injustice? matter through When-the war s marching ting for him Let's think the is over and the soldier and sailor home, the first thing he’ll find s a $300 cash bonus to carry him through until he finds employment. That bonus will be paid, in part at least, out of taxes on the earn- ings of the civilians of today and out of the future reserves of such workers. on the civilian front now, there can be no soldiers’ bonus temorrow. And that bonus will be vitally needed. When the soldier and sailor goes looking for a job in private industry, he can find it only if the wheels of industry are kept whirling. They will be kept moving in direct ratio to: (1) the cash position of industrial companies of the nation after the war Unless there profits today, there will be no money for industrial postwar change-overs necessary to supply jobs for discharged servicemen. Unless there are wages enough | to allow civilian savings now, there ill be only limited buying power in the early days of peace. It would not be sufficient to give employment to the millions of discharged servicemen who will need jobs. 8o, while it seems unfair that those who stay at | home can build cash reserves for the future, the lads who go would be in a bad way if such were not the case. It is cash reserves built now which will keep the nation economically sound after the war. Unless that economic stability is preserved, servicemen will find little fox \\hmh to rcuun v‘iwl,v they stood on his gloomy fore- also | cast.

People are eating well despite Bromfield. American farmers have written the refutation. Actually, we have a greater accumulation of stored foodstuifs than at any in history Wickard couldn't resist the temp- tation to rib the Digest, so he re- cently sent to Editor DeWitt Wal~ lace a few figures about the over- flowing granary. In reply, he re- |ceived merely a short note from | William Hard, Jr., saying, “Mr {Wallace is home, ting off a cold.” Note—William Hard, formerly a staff member of Republican National Committee.
