He told the National Council of

more than we have ever done be-
fore in gearing our teachings, es-

geography and allied subjects, with
these problems.
The council will end a two-day

New Chemical Used
To Detect 1ri(hinosis
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
The Public Health Service an
nounced yesterday the development
of new and more accurate chemical
for use in detecting cases of trichi-
nosis, painful muscle disease.
The disease is caused by eating
poorly cooked pork which contains
tiny worms. The orms work their
way through the walls of the
stomach and intestines and lodge
in various muscles of the body,
causing them to stiffen, swell and
become almost useless.
Treatment of the disease is COM
paratively simple, Public Health
Service physicians said, providing
it is caught in its early stages.
The new chemical for diagnos-
ing it is an antigen, or substance
which stimulates the disease-fght-
ing mechanisms of the body to pro-
duce antibodies. These antibodies
attack disease infections directly
and are the principal means by
which the body defends itself.
When the antigen is injected
under the skin a large red spot
is proof that the person has the
disease.

ordered an extension of union efforts
in the maritime industry.
John L. Lewis, C. 1. o. president.
yesterday appointed a committee of
maritime union leaders to undertake
the work
The committee will vigorously
oppose efforts of the Maritime Com
mission to break down collective
bargaining in the maritime industry
through abrogation of existing con-
tracts on Government chartered
ships and attempts to destroy the
present system of c. I. O. hiring
halls Mr.. Lewis said.
The Maritime Commission has
taken the position that as Govern
ment agency it cannot enter into
collective agreements with unions,
but has obtained seamen for Gov
ernment vessels through Federal
shipping commissioners.
The Lewis committee includes
Harry Bridges, West Coast c. 1. o.
director, and Joseph Curran, presi-
dent of the National Maritime Union
on the East Coast.
The c. I. o. also will set up legis-
