SOIL WING WAR PROBLEMS

Berkeley, CAL, Nov. In dimply-
lighted laboratories and under the
study lamps, CALIFORNIA; scientists
are quietly working out intricate prob
lens to help Uncle Sam win the war.
University of California scientists
are making important strides in war
problems, John C. Marian, chairman
of the scientific committee of the
State Council of Defense, declared
today. Not all that is being done
could be revealed, he declared.
Between 20 and 80 men are en-
gagged at the University of California
in chemical experimentation" he de-
clared. eff the war is continued two
years their results will be- among the
most important factors for victory.
But the economic problems are those
VIC are best able to announce because
of the necessary censorship over work
on such problems as submarines and
explosives.
There has been an investigation of
potash from mother liquor obtained
in the manufacture of salt "a study
OF derivatives of petroleum; a plan
for new processes for manufacture
Of cyanide at reduced cost, and sur
vey of the chemical industries of the
state. The geological committee is
now engaged in study of the states
important manganese resources, so
necessary in certain alloys used in
steel production. They are working
on metallurgical processes which will
make more valuable the manganese
ores.
"A committee on botanical problems
has almost completed study of wild
plants for their use as food, drugs and
fiber sources. DR.. H. NJ. Hall and
DR.. T. H. Goodspeed have practical
ly completed experiments on the des-
ert rabbit bush which will result in
the obtaining of rubber from these
plants.
"The utilization of fish and mol
luscs as a solution to the food prob
lem is another important work under
way.
'There is now under way survey
Of the possible sea food forms unused
and practically unknown to most per-
sons. This work is being center at
La Jolla, San Diego county. The use
of fish for fertilizer, hog feed and
chicken feed is also being inveati-
gated.
"Up to this time we have never
known the true nature of the tuna
supply. Another problem covers the
investigation of certain sea foods,
heretofore poisonous to man, but
which can be used freely under prop
er circumstances if present expert
ments are successful.
81 can say. this much regarding the
submarine problem: Expert engineers
and chemists are going deeply into
the diver question. They are investi-
eating every idea reported and are
working on plans which may prove of
u revolutionary nature in eliminating
the submarine menace.
"In addition there are professors
preparing new military biographies;
professors training young men for
the United States merchant marine:
professors teaching aeronautics and
professors working, out medical meth
ods."
