" A—4 » LANDON PRAISES SMITH FOR HELP Kansan Welcomes Support of Al—Confers With Hooverin Topeka. By the Associated Press. ‘TOPEKA, Kans., October 2 -—Gov. Alf M. Landon pressed bis campaign for the presidency today with the ac- tive support of the chief rivals in the 1928 contest—Alfred E. Smith and Herbert Hoover. ‘The nominee, shortly after a con- ference on political strategy with Hoo- ver, the Republican victor in '28, wel- comed the support of Smith, the| Democratic loser. Hoover conferred with Landon last | night and left to campaign in the East, beginning in Philadelphia October 16. “The Republican cause is making progress,” Hoover told news men, add- ing that “what I'm going to say about this campaign, I'll say before a micro- | phone. That's the place to do the talking now.” After Landon saw his guest to the | train, walking to the car platform | to say: “Good-by, come to see me| again, Mr, Hoover,” the Governor was asked for comment on Smith's address in New York appealing for his elec- tion. | Appreciates Smith's Aid. “I deeply appreciate the support of | Alfred E.

MADRID, October 2.—Grimly hold- ing its battered militia on the firing line under death penalty threats of martial law, the government turned to last manpower reserves today to break the trip-hammer blows of the insurgent “big push” on the capital. Political differences that for two months have hampered the Socialist campaign in “the gravest hour of Spain’s history” were submerged in common unity in the face of the seriousness of the situation. Throughout & night of shell-rent terror, Socialist troops on all fronts, the government reported, stood off the general offensive launched on | Madrid after the fall of Toledo. The insurgent avalanche in the Avila segment of the almost com- pleted Fascist circle about Madrid was checked at Navalperal and San Bartolome de Pinares, less than 40 miles west of Madrid, official govern- ment reports said. Launch Counter Attack. Government militia, under cover of an air bombardment, launched a counter-attack against the insurgent positions at Bargas, north of Toledo, but were forced to withdraw when their own fliers mistook prearranged signals and dropped a hail of death on Socialist headquarters at Olias Del Rey. (Olias Del Rey, rear guard posi of the Socialists retreating on Madrid from Toledo, is a scant half mile from Bargas.) Capture of 400 Fascists in the Ka- Jamua hills in the Basque country on the Bay of Biscay by Guipuzcoan So- cialists, announced officially by the | government, cheered the hastily form- | ed army of workers and peasants through the night watches.

BLAKESLEE, Associated Press Science Editor. NEW YORK, October 2.—Two Chi- nese medical scientists yesterday an- nounced that they have .extracted from human pneumonia products a | protein which has protective powess against this disease. ‘What they appear to have discov- ered is the essence of the protective principle which physicians have been using when giving anti-pneumonococ- ‘ cus serum as & protection against pneumonia. It is nearly 20 times | more effective than present serum. | ‘The discovery is reported in the current issue of Science, official jour- nal of American science, by Bacon F. Chow and Hsien Wu of Peiping Union Medical -Coliege, Pelping, China. ‘Three Steps Taken. From the bodies of type 1 pneu- monla germs they extracted a poyl- saccharide, & sugary substance. With this sugar they treated the protective | anti-serum of type 1 pneumonia. This second step precipitated from | the serum the “antibodies” which have the ability to mitigate attacks of pneumonia. ‘These “antibodies” were not new to | medicine. The Chinese, however, went | further. With a washing of diluted alkali they separated about 50 per cent of the proteins from the anti- bodies. Finally they precipitated this pro- tein from the antibodies. This new protein extract proved 15 to 20 times more effective than the original pneu- monia serum in protecting mice from the disease. Get Some Results. Essentially the same results came | from similar experiments with pneu- monia serum of horses and of rabbits. Type three pneumonia likewise yielded up potent proteins by the same methods. “The method,” they report, “seems to have general application. It has | been a debatable question whether antibody is itself a protein or some- | thing else carried by the protein. “Our present findings leave little doubt that the antibody itself is a protein. “On the practical side, the prepara- tion of pure antibody places in the hands of the clinicians therapeutic agents where serum therapy was not practical before, as in type three pneumonia, the anti-serum for which has a very low antibody content.” Dublin, Irish Free State, has in- creased to more than 30 acres its rest park for sick and disabled animals.
