NATIONAL REPRESENTATIVES — Alaska Newspapers, 1411 Pourth Avenue Bidg., Seattle, Wash, PENICILLIN FOR ALL Two years ago not enough penicillin could be pro- duced for' the armed forces. Now twenty-one plants érected in this country and Canada at a cost of $20,- 000,000 are producing 40,000,000,000 units monthly, a hundred times as much as in the first half of 1943. | Commenting on this progress before the American Chemical Society, Dr. Robert D. Coghill held out the promise that in the near future it will be possible to treat not onlv a few urgent civilian cases in the future but all. At it is, the pharmaceutical houses have as much reason to be proud of their record as the ship, jeep, plane and tractor builders of theirs. If mortality form infection at the front is so low, it is partly because of penicillin, The only blemish on the record is slowness with which penicillin was intro- | duced. The discovery was made in 1929, and yet by 1939 one of the most powerful means of controlling bacterial growth was still unavailable. Too wide a gap | yawns between a clinically proved advance and its introduction, for reasons still unexplained. Dr. Coghill's billions of units imply enormous quantities. But the actual ploductmn is only 1.7 AR TR -gone great social, political and economic upheaval. pounds a day. A projected increase to nine pounds will provide enough to treat 250,000 serious cases of infection a month, which indicates how potent peni- cillin is. The price, too, has come down. Two years ago 100,000 units sold for less than the cost of produc- tion at over $20; now the cost is $3.25. Still further reductions may be expected. Unlike most bactericidal wonders, penicillin has fulfilled all expectations. It works when the sulfa drugs fail, and unlike the sulfa drugs, it has no toxic effects. Infections once regarded as hopeless yield to it with a rapidity that astonishes even experienced physicians. And yet only the opening chapter of the story has been told. Penicillin must be extracted now from a mold grown tediously over a large floor space. The chemist must sweep away the cumbrous paraphernalia of vats and flasks. To do so he must first determine penicillin’s exact composition, a baffling task on which half a dozen laboratories are now engaged. That done, the equally difficult task of synthesis must be attacked. And with synthesis we shall have something that will meét the physician's requirements. The flasks and the vats will go,.and so will the mold. In chemistry it is never back to nature but always away from nature.

Just as men must be skilled to deal with the com- plexities of airplanes, radar, plastics and television., | 50 must men be learned in languages, world history, diplomacy, politics, religions and national cultures if they are to face world problems with understanding ) and tolerance. Great air and ocean fleets, plus the world’s No, 1| industrial machine, offer tremendous possibilities for trade in a bomb-battered world. Many men are ac- quiring invaluable training and knowledge for the years of peace as they help to wage war, but thou- sands of others will be needed to augment them and to follow in their footsteps. This country, long symbolic as the cradle of lib- erty, stands among the giants of the world cven though still bt an infant among the older nations | of the globe. No country any longer is remote from us.

Bell, veteran Wash- ington correspondent for the New York Herald Tribune. “This is Vice President Wallace speaking,” said a brisk voice. “Who?" inquired Bell, suspicious of practical jokers. “Vice President Wallace," chuck- led his caller. “I called you about that story you wrote concermng my, trip- to China this summer.” “Yes, Mr. Wallace,” sighed Beu, bracing himself for a lecture. The Herald Tribunz is an independent Republican paper frequently at is- sue with New Deal policies. “Didn’ my story meet with your approval?” “¥ery much,” replied Wallace. “I just wanted to congratulate you on L the fine, objective job you did. You were fair to me.” Bell was too reply.

They have cailed a Sen-‘[ ate hearing for April 27 to look into Jesse's allegéed discrimination re- garding_ a reorganization of the Chicago and Eastern Illinois, which Jesse still controls through RAF loans and friendly insurance com- panies. Senators Reed and Clark already have won one resounding victory over Jones when he tried to dom- inate the Kansas City Southern, whose chairman is Pete Couch, brother of Jesse's old friend, the late Hatvey Couch, who formerly was chairman.
