Snake Venom Seen as Formula
For Some Kinds of Blindness

venoms with specific effect on the
eyes. Persons who have been bitten
report a "darkening of the sight"
which does not reach real blindness
and which may come either immedi-
ately or after a few hours. In some
cases there Is real blindness of sew
eral hours duration. In other cases,
where only small amount of the
venom has gotten into the circulation,
physicians have noted an inexplicable
improvement in the vision of persons
whose eyes were affected by circuia-
tory or muscular abnormalities.
The problem facing DR.. Alvaro was
to find just what the effects were
and just what was doing the job.
The serpent venom, he told the eye
doctors, was a very complex chemical
mixture of various proteins, engines
and other substances with at least
three specific effects One effect is
q very potent nerve poisoning, which
paralyzes movemk i and enables the
snake to swallow helpless victim.

Minute doses of some of the most
deadly serpent venoms may become
the newest weapon of the eye doctor
against certain types of blindness.
Marked effects on the blood circu-
lation and musculature determined by
q long series of experiments on the
eyes Of rabbits we're described before

Alvaro Of Sac Paulo, Brazil.
Snake poisons already have been
used experimentally in the treatment
of epilepsy, leprosy, cancer, and as
pain killers because Of their powerful
effects on the nerves. In most cases
the effects have been debatable since

BARUCH GIVES VIEWS
ON MUNICH TREATY
Unpreparedness of Britain and
France Was Principal Reason
for Pact. He Saws.

England's and Frances unprepared-
ness was the principal reason for the
Munich treaty, according to Bernard
Baruch, international financier and
close friend of the President, who is a
White House guest.
Talking with newspaper men today,
Mr.. Baruch. who was head of the War
Industries Board during the World
War. expressed the opinion that the
United States is in about as bad q po-
sition as England and France In the
matter of preparedness. He took occa-
sion to make it clear that his opinions
were his own, and that he was not re-
flecting the views Of any one else.
Praising the work already done by
the President to improve the national
defense to this country, Mr.. Baruch
emphasized the need for three major
steps; namely. sufficient expansion to
put the Navy in flrst-class condition
with ships, planes and adequate air
bases; equipment to place the Army
and the National Guard in first class
condition, speed up industry to break
down the so-called production bottle
necks" and to be otherwise prepared
to meet any other emergency.
MIR. Baruch declared that the
American Army was definitely lacking
in modern equipment. Speaking in
this connection he said, Eve have not
sufficient arms and resources to put
the Army in the field in flrst-class
manner, and in my opinion the Army
as it stands today is not an army of
protection. We ought to be ready to
defend our homes and not find our
selves in the humiliating position that
England did"
Discussing the Munich peace pact,
Mr.. Baruch asserted that Hitler knew
that England and France were not
prepared to- 60 to war and that he was.

CZECH MINISTER
WILL SEE HITLER
Chva|kovsky Is Expected to
Go to Berchtesgaden
Tonight.
BY the Associated Press.

BERLIN. Oct. 13.-Informed per-
sons said today that Frantisek Chval-
kovsky, Czechoslovakia's new foreign
minister, would 60 to Brechtesgaden
tonight to discuss with Adolf HITLER
the basis of future relations between
Germany and the dismembered re-
public.
Although Chvalkovsky, who arrived
this morning from Prague, had two
hour conference with German Foreign
Minister Joachim Won Ribbertrop. it
was understood larger questions were
left for Hitler's own consideration.
The German Fuehrer is expected
to receive the Prague minister at the
Bavarian mountain retreat which was
the scene of his historic conferences
with Kurt Schuschnigg, last Chan
cellor of independent Austria; with
Prime Minister Chamberlain of Brit
ain month ago, and a little later
with the ENJOYS of Poland and Hun
gary.
Among the questions on which
Chvalkovsky is expected to hear the
Fuehrers desires are possible Ger
man guarantee of Czechoslovakiss
diminished frontiers and the sever
ance of her alliances with Soviet Rus
sia and France.
Chvalkovsky returned to the Czecho-
slovak Legation after his talk with
Won Rippentrop and also a. brief meet
ing with Baron Ernst Won Weisaecker
secretary of state in the foreign off1ce
and chairman of the International
limiting Czechoslovakia' new boun-
daries.
Although no announcement was
made concerning the talks it was
understood that temporary arrange
ments for Czech-German relations un-
til the Transformation of Czechoslo-
vakia is completed were under con-
sideration.
Diplomats believed the two foreign
ministers also considered the question
of how far Czechoslovakia should bind
herself to the Reich, now that her
Sudetenland has passed to Germany.
Chvalkovsky lunched with Vojtech
Mastny, the Czechoslovak Minister,
after seeing the two German officials
Ignorant of SIovak Envoy.
Spokesman of the Czechoslovak
Legation and the foreign Office pro-
fessed to know nothing of the reported
visit to Berlin of DR.. Ferdinand Dur
ciansky, a Slovak leader At Koma-
rom, scene of the troubled Slovak-
Hungarian Conference on Hungary's
territorial demands, it was said this
envoy had gone to Berlin to seek Hit
lers mediation in the dispute.
Political informants held Germany
would insist Czechoslovakia abandon
her alliance with Russia, in accord
ance with Nazi principle, and that
France geographically was not in po-
sition to offer anything. so Chvalkov-
sky had better make the best arrange
ments possible with his next-door
neighbor.
PRAGUE, Oct. l3 (P).-CZechoslo-
vakia today complained to the Inter-
national Commission settling details
of the new Czechoslovak- German
boundary that German troops had oc-

SWING TO c. 0. P.
SEEN IN ILLINOIS
Gains May Capture but Few
Seats, HoWeVer-Farm
Sentiment a Puzzle.
BY G. GOULD LINCOLN,
Star Stan Correspondent.

CHICAGO, Oct. 13.-All signs point
to a greatly increased Republican vote
in Illinois on November 8, election day,
over the votes cast for the G. o. P.
in 1896 and 1882
Whether these gains will be suff-
cient to carry Statewide candidates
of the c. o. P. for United States
Senator and Representative at large
to victory is still open to doubt The
chances are that the Republicans will
pick up from two to eight or nine
seats in the House delegation, how
ever.
To win in the Statewide elections
the Republicans must make substan-
tai gains downstate and bold the ex-
pected Democratic majority in Cook
County (Chicago) to a minimum
Here's what the G. o. P. must do
If victory is to perch on its banners:
1t must overcome Democratic ad-
vantage in the State which gave
President Roosevelt a lead of $4,000
over ALT Landon in 1896; which gave
Senator Lewis. Democrat, a lead Of
$4,000 over his Republican oppo-
nent and Gov Horner lead of 585, 900
over Brooks. the Republican nominee
for Governor. Four years earlier
when Illinois made its big swing from
the Republican standard to that of
the Democrats, Roosevelt carried the
State with plurality over Hoover
of 100000: Gov. Horner won over the
late Len Small by 566,000.
Yet in 1928, when times were good
under the G. o. p administration,
Herbert Hoover carried Illinois against
AL Smith with lead of ASS 900 votes.
Farmer May Decide.
The big question for the Republicans
in this State is: How sore are the
farmers because of the low prices
for corn, wheat, oats and potatoes?
Is there enough resentment to cause a
big turnover of the rural vote from
Democratic to Republican?
Officials of farm organizations in
sist that reports of soreness among the
farmers and antagonism to the Roose-
welt farm policies have been grossly
exaggerated" in some quarters They
maintain that the policy of crop con-
troll is favored by the great majority
of the farmers. AS matter of fact,
they say, the great surpluses of corn,
wheat and other crops and the conse-
quent reduction in prices are due, not
to the Roosevelt program of con-
trolled production, but have been
brought about because there was no
such control of the crops of 1886 and
1887. Furthermore, they say that the
farmers themselves, both those who
have participated in the corn allot-
ments this year and those who have
not, know this to be the fact. Next

as FuIfiIiment of Senate
Campaign Promise.
SPAN PART OF PROGRAM
OFFERED BY MARYLAND
State to Provide Remainder o.
$3,826, ,000-Route to Virginia
Will Be Provided.

Redeeming a campaign promise by
President Roosevelt on the eve of the
recent Democratic primary in Mary
land, P. w. A. Administrator Harold
L. Ickes today awarded a $l,766, ZOO
grant OF Federal funds for the erec-
ton of a bridge over the Potomac
River, near Morgantown.
The bridge, which. is apart of the
program submitted some time ago
by the State of Maryland, will cost
total of s3,826 900.
This will complete fulfillment Of as
surances given by Mr.. Roosevelt dur
ing the New Deal effort to purge Sem
ator Millard E. Tydings that P. w. A,
would assist in carrying out major
part of the program. The Morgan
town bridge was proposed when the
President visited the suggested site or
mis- visit to Maryland in support of
Representative David L. Lewis, New
Deal candidate for Senator Tydings'
seat.
Soon after the senatorial primary
the P. w. A. approved a $2,l67, 900
allotment for the Havre de Grace
bridge over the SusQuehanna River
near Senator Tydings' home.
Mr.. Ickes sent his recommendation
for the Morgantown Bridge to the
President yesterday and received ap-
proval forthwith. 1t all came some
what as surprise.
After the grant was made for the
Susquehanna Bridge the P. w. A. was
advised that banking interests would
not help finance the bridge for Nor
gantown. The bankers insisted it
should be tied up with bridge project
over the Patapsco River nearer Balti-
more. 1t was believed the project had
been abandoned. P. w. A. officials did
not disclose how the State is going to
finance the Potomac span.
The Morgantown bridge, In Charles
County, eventually win provide . d.
rect north and south route from
Southern Maryland to Virginia. The
remainder Of the s3,826.0O cost is to
be provided by the State, probably
through the assistance of banking in
terests.
Nearly Two Miles Long.
The bridge project includes the &C.
QUESTION Of necessary approaches and
provides for a steel structure SPAN
ming the Potomac from point at OF
near Ludlow's Ferry to Dahlgren in
Virginia. 1t will have a length OF
$500 feet or nearly two miles. The
main span clearance will be 1875 feet
above mean high water, providing nc
interference with river traf1c.
The only existing facility for cross
ing the Potomac near Morgantown is
ferry operated on limited schedule
The fate of third Maryland bridge
project under consideration was moi
disclosed by P. w. A. officials today
Public works officials estimated tina,
Maryland had been allotted approx
mately $4,000, 900 more than the quota
originally set by President Roosevelt
and Ickes
P. w. A. quotas, they said, are
flexible and determined only by the
President and Ickes. Although tht
Havre de Grace Bridge put Maryland
over the original quota, officers, said
it and the Morgantown project were
on the White House must" list.
