2107 SCIENTIST MAKES BLOOD COMPONENT Hematine, Synthetic Hemo- globin, Opens Way to Cur- ing Gas Poisoning. By cable to The Star. BERLIN, December 29—After 17 years of research work, Prof. Hans Fischer of the Technical College in Munich has succeeded in producing synthetically the important februginous components of hemoglobin. Prof. Fischer informed the Munich Chemical Soclety of his success today, and the achievement is hailed here as of grimary importance. Although no estimates were made as | to the practical applications of the synthetic product, which is called he- matne, it is regarded possible that the | artificial hematine might be employedi as a remedy in cases of gas poisoning, sclentists declare. (Copyright. 1928.) NEW YORK, December 29.—Scien- tists here recelved the news of Prof. Fischer’s achievement with extreme in- terest today, and pronounced it a scien- tific accomplishment of the highest order. Dr. Richard H. Pearce, director of medical education of the Rockfeller Foundation, and Dr. Phillip A. Levene of the Rockfeller Institute for Medicay Research, expressed decided satisfac- tion at the news. “I'm glad to hear it” Dr. Levene said. “It was to be expected that Prof. Fischer would succeed at about this time. He has been working on the problem for more than 15 years, and all of his latest efforts pointed to suc- cess in the near future.” Hemoglobin is an organic matter which constitutes about nine-temths of the weight of dried red blood corpuscles and serves as a carrier of oxygen from the lungs to the tissues of the body. Its extreme physiological importance arises from its function as a conveyor of oxygen throughout the living tissues. Hemoglobin combines with oxygen as the red blood corpuscles pass through the lungs, forming an exceedingly. un- stable compound known as oOXy- hemoglobin. As the blood circulates | the oxyhemoglobin compound breaks «down, leaving the oxygen in the tissues. In poisoning by coal gas or other gases containing carbon monoxide, the carbon monoxide in the lungs combines with the hemoglobin to form a com- pound called carboxyhemoglobin, which does not break down as does oxyhemo- globin. As the poisoning continues, therefore, an increasing amount of hemoglobin is rendered useless as an oxygen ler, HOTEL TO GIVE WAY TO OFFICE BUILDING Tandmark at 1329 H Street to Be Supplanted by Modern Structure. ‘The passing of another landmark of downtown Washington was presaged with the announcement ’!G'EMIJ by & Co.

Hope was expressed yesterday by Sen- ator Brookhart, Republican, of Iowa, that Congress would be able to agree at this session on the course of action necessary to correct the inequalities in Government employes’ salaries that de- veloped when the Welch law, enacted at the last session, was put into effect. Following a conference with Luther C. Steward, president of the National Federation of Federal Employes, Sen- ator Brookhart said he expected that those interested in ironing out the in- Jjustices in the salary law would be able to get together on the necessary legis- lation. He indicated that later on he probably would confer with Represent- ative Lehlbach, Republican, of New Jersey, who is working on the problem at the House emd of the Capitol. ‘The Senator, who has been devoting considerable time to study of the Gov- ernment salary situation since Congress recessed for the holidays, plans to in- troduce & measure in the Senate soon. Mr. Steward outlined to Senator Brookhart his view that there are two distinct problems to be dealt with in separate legislation: First, to correct the administrative defects in the operation of the present salary law, in order to give various groups of workers the amount of increase Congress intended, and second, such legislation as should be enacted as a result of the survey of the Government service by the Person- nel Classification Board, nearing com- pletion. This survey was ordered by Congress when it passed the Welch law. . 50 MORE ARRESTED. New York Continues Round-Up to Drive Criminals From City.
