FLOOD TRANSFUSIONS MADE POSSIBLE
 BY NOBEL PRIZE WINNERS FINDINGS

NEW YORK, Dec. 13.-Thou- sands of persons literally owe their lives to Dr. Karl Landsteiner, win her of the 1880 Nobel prize in medi- cine.
 Blood transfusion, now com mon means of saving the lives of persons weakened by loss of blood or anemia, was made possible by his discoveries that there are four major types of human blood.
 Sufferers from infantile paraly- sis have been aided by Dr. Land steiners experiments with monkeys. He was the first to find that these animals could be infected with the disease.
 This led to the discovery that the serum of fnfantile paralysis con valescents might be used as pro- tective or checking agency in pa- tients who had the disease in it's incipient stages.
 Dr. Landsteiner has been study ing the human blood for 30 years. His discoveries have ranged from a clue to the causes of immunity against disease to enabling police detectives to identify blood stains.
 Dr. Landsteiner, tall, slender man, nervous and modest, was born in Vienna 62 years ago and worked in Europe until 1922, but he speaks English with only slight accent.
 Science is both his work and his play. He has no recreation. He is busy day and night in his labora- tory at the Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research and lives close to the Institution so as not to waste time travelling back and forth. In the summer he transfers his activities to home on the Massachusetts coast.

NEW YORK. Dec. 13-Two of America's richest heiresses are mak- ing their bows to New York so- ciety this winter in the splendor which wealth bestows.
 Doris Duke, golden-haired and blue-eyed, who inherits from her father, James B. Duke, tobacco magnate, fortune variously esti- mated from $5O,O0000o to $10o,- 100000 has already stepped into the limehght with a presentation at Buckingham Palace and an initial debut at her family estate in New port this summer.
 Barbara Hut on, dark-haired, grand daughter of Frank w. Wool worth, and heiress to the estimated $60,00O,0O0 which he gleaned from a chain of nickle and dime en- poriums, will make her first bow December g, at ball in the new Hotel Pierre, in New York.
 Both have been quietly, though luxuriously reared; both are IS; both possess simplicity and charm of manner and both will move in a brilliant spotlight on which the eyes of the world are focused.
 The spotlight flashed on Doris Duke five years ago with her fath- er's death when, as a slim girl Of thirteen, she became known as the heiress to the vast wealth which he founded on tobacco and in creased in the aluminium industry.
 A Fifth Avenue home, appraised with its contents at Sl 600,0O0, a 2O00 acre estate at Somerville, N. J., the family home Rough Point" at Newport, R. l., private Pull man car with Doris" gilded on the panelling, motor cars and horses were among the things included in that wealth.
 Yet, a few months later, when she and her mother sailed for Eu- rope, they selected a first cabin, entirely lacking the ostentation Of a suite. Cameramen, who hadn't the ghost of an idea who she was, were attracted by the girls smile as she watched celebrities being photo graphed before departure and asked to take her picture. They discovered her identity only when that cere- mony was over.
 Doris Dukes love is sports. She swims, plays tennis, and as a child dashed up and down the New Jer- sey country roads on a Shetland pony which is now replaced by a gaited saddle horse. Recently she joined a dancing class with other sub-debs and could be found sev- eral mornings a week clogging away for dear life.
 Last spring she donned white satin gown and ostrich feathers and

made her bow before King George and Queen Mary
 Then came hsrAslehut at her home in Newport. A large marquee, lined with Smilax and hung with baskets of golden gladioli, received the 600 guests, while trees and gardens were flooded with colored lights and searchlights played over the waves that broke against the shore near her home.
 This winter she will join the throng of almost 300 debutantes and will be the guest of honor at number of the festivities which go to make the New York debutante season the gayest in America.
 Barbara Hutton stepped into the limelight four years ago when her trustees, acting for her, sold 50,000 shares (s1O,000,000 worth) of com- mon stock in the Woolworth Com pany, which she inherited from the grandfather who started his first five and ten cent store on a bor- rowed $35O. It constituted one of the largest private stock transac- tions which Wall street had ever seen and interest focused on the young girl in whose name the sale was made
 During her sub-deb days she has lived quietly, but this fall her father and stepmother-her mother died few years ago-are deep in plans for her debutante festivities, which start with a whirl three days before Christmas.

Balloting Starts Early for
 Senator, Governor and
 Other Offices
ARMY OF WATCHERS
 REPORTED AT POLLS
Senatorial Fight Is Note- worthy Political Strug-
 gle in Pennsylvania
PHILADELPHIA, Penn,

PHILADELPHIA, Penn., May 20.-Early balloting in the primary today for United States Senator, Governor and other State officials, was heavy in spots, reports in- dicated.
 United States Senator JOs- eph R. Grundy announced he had voted for Clifford Pinchot for Governor.
 An army of watchers are stationed in some precincts in this city.
 Pennsylvania's Republican Sena- torial primary takes rank as one of the years noteworthy political struggles. On one side is the power and prestige of William s. Ware of Phil- adelphia, linked with the popular 1 ity of James J. Davis, Secretary l of Labor, under three Presidents.
 On the other is the intrenched influence. of the pleasantly persis- tent Joseph R. Grundy, the junior Senator out to keep his seat.
 Grundy, too, is suppored by the Mellon political interests.
 AS a res v of the balloting to- day, Pennsylvania forsees the pos sible emergence of single figure who will assume the mantle of the late Boies Penrose as boss"
 Fight Center
 It is around Davis, who opposes Grundy for the Senatorial nomi- nation, and Uncle Joe" that the battle of Pennsylvanias political giants swing.
 As direct offshort of the Sen- atorial struggle, the Republican Gubernatorial fight has developed warmly. There are two candidates.
 Francis Skunk Brown of Phila- delphia is aligned with the Ware forces. The other is Clifford Pin chot, Pennsylvania's Chief Execu- tive from 1922 to 1926.
 Prohibition could not be kept out of the campaign and an entire wet slate is in the field, headed by Francis H. Bohlen, University of Pennsylvania Professor, for Sem ator, and Thomas w. Phillips, Jr., Butler for Governor.
 | Democratic Ticket
 The Democratic Party has an un- opposed slate for high State off, ces. Sedgewick Kistler. LOG Haven, Democratic National Committee man, seeks the Senatorial nomina- tion and John Hemphill of West Chester. is out for Governor
 The Senatorial fight was marked by an early schism in Republican ranks, with the Philadelphia or ganization supporting Davis and the regular State Republican body : going for Grundy. Philadelphia $ vote is a rich stake. In 1928. the Republican majority in the city was 100000.
