Page 2 THE KEY WEST CI New Invisible Light May Identify Germs By FRANK CAREY AP Science Reporter PITTSBURGH, —A new “in- visible light” technique for quickly identifying germs known to be re- sistant to certain drugs was described today to the Society of American Bacteriologists. A team of researchers of the CIBA Pharmaceutical Co. of Sum- mit, N.J., told about it at the SAB’s 54th general. meeting. And some docors who studied the report declared that the ad- vantage of the technique, if devel- oped for general use, would lie in this: It might allow a doctor to elimin- ate certain drugs from the very start in treating a patient—and to jconcentrate on other methods of ‘treatment that might have a chance of effectiveness. The CIBA_ investigators—re- searchers F, C. Kull and M, R. Grimm—reported they had noted detectable differences in the way different strains within given fam- ilies of germs react to infrared “invisible” light. Strains known to be resistant to certain of the antibiotic “wonder drugs” or to the new antitubercu- losis drugs absorbed the light to; a different degree than dis strains be sensitive to such drugs. The researchers said that bai the offered a means aay aencmiee that a given germ had at least some resistance or to a given drug, the plat of showing the exnct de the exac pel ppt or susceptibility. In another report to the meet- Army’s Camp Detrick, Md. Labor- atories—scene of studies on biolog- ical warfare — reported possible advances towards production of a new and superior “toxoid” for combating dreaded botulinum is “ Pethe. botulinum germ is one of those listed unofficially as possible germ warfare weapons which this country should guard against.; The Camp Detrick researchers report was read by Dr. J. T. Duff. Horse Is Killed Instantly, Driver Faces 2 Charges A horse owned by the son of a Police lieutenant was killed instant- ly Saturday morning when it was struck by a car, and the driver of the vehicle was charged with reck- less driving and causing an acci- dent. That was the report of patrol- mag Ralph Maribona, who investi- gated the accident. He said that the horse, owned by Danny Cer- 70, 2330 Harris Avenue, cantered out in front of a car diven by Roy Beckman, of the Key Wester Ho- tel. The report stated further that Beckman ‘‘applied his but was unable to avoid hitting him.” But Beckman was charged with two counts, Damage to the car, listed as a smashed hood, windshield, fender, door and headlight, was set at $600. The horse, according to the police Teport, was valued at $500. Residents in the area have com- Plained repeatedly that horses have been allowed to run loose, Givens’ Daughter To Speak Tonight Robert H.

In Particular, she took exception to a report that she and her husband were not allowed to vote in the water bond election last October. She said that the only reason they did not vote is that @ey stayed away from the polls in the hope that the required 50 per cent of the county’s registered voters would not cast their ballots and that the election would be de- clared invalid. Mrs, Seney Objects > And Mrs. Seney said she also objected to being “placed in the same class with Brooks Bate- man.” He is the former general manager of the Overseas Road and Toll Bridge District, who was accused by Miami newspapers of being registered in both Dade and Monroe Counties. 2 “We are innocent,” she said. The Seneys -have claimed that they made a down payment on Marathon property last year and that they were told by Supervisor of Registrations Sam. Pinder that they were eligible voters. Mrs. Seney said Saturday that she has affidavits to prove that the trans- action took place. Pinder Denies Pinder. has denied that he ever made that statement. Papy, when he made the charge at a Marathon rally, said that the Seneys had registered last. Sept- ember 25 although they did not re- ceive a property deed until March 18, 1954. Information on the matter was given to the grand jury for their perusal. Earlier, Seney had appeared be- fore the grand jury protesting of alleged irregular vote registrations in Monroe County.

M. Bra- dy Company, of Miami, deliver it directly to the commission in Key West.” if 5 Billed Same Amount “T billed the commission for the exact amount it cost me,” Cothron added. He said that he has the delivery receipt available for anyone that wants to see it. Official sources said today that there is fothing illegal about the transaction. Whether or not there is anything morally wrong with the transaction would depend on whe- ther‘or not a profit was made on the transaction, they said. The matter had arisen when the aqueduct commission was ordered te turn over their books to Robert Morgan, Miami auditor assisting Marsh in an investigation of the operations of the Overseas Road and Toll Bridge District. Cothron has been charged with grand larceny in connection with fill operations he contracted with toll road commission. He, along with district general manager Brooks Bateman, are free under $5,000 bond on those charges.
