John L. Lewis Possible Barrier To Roosevelt's
 Plan To Knock
 Down Prices

Washington, Jan. 28.-John L. Lewis has appeared as a possible barrier to the administrations loud- ly ballyhooed effort to knock down monopoly prices, simultaneously with burst of confidence among anti-monopoly crusaders who be- gin to believe some of those prices will be driven down.
 Specifically, some of the New Dealers think the price of steel may drop within the next two months. The ammunition they have hurled at fixed, rigid and ad- ministered prices in the past few weeks has been aimed most of all at the steel industry. So cut in steel prices would be to them a most important victory. But steel is equally important in the eyes of MT. Lewis, who re- gently appeared at the White House with Tom Lamont, who is partner of J. P. Morgan & Co.,, top banker for U.. s. Steel. When Lewis made 8 collective bargain ing agreement with U. S. Steel
 and steel companies all raised
 wages up, up went the price of steel. If steel prices go down, Lewis has reason to fear, the steel companies will try to force down wages as we'll.
 Government economists and statisticians say steel prices were raised far higher, in proportion, than steel wages, and that the lat ter should remain stationary if the former are reduced. The steel in- dustry denies this.
 Already, according to confidential reports received in Washington, one independent steel company is sell- ing to good customers" at $1O a ton below the official market price. Some of the steel customers on
 the Business Advisory Council which called on Roosevelt were heartily sympathetic with admin iStratiOn efforts to drive down steel prices by noisy threats. Au- tOmObile companies have bought Sparingly and Ford is reported pre- pairing to spend $40,000, 900 on new blast furnaces. New Deal prophets profess to see other factors likely to combine toward 8 steel price cave-in.
 Meanwhile, basic furnace pig iron is selling at a price 29.2 per cent above that of 1929, cast iron pipe 44.5 per cent up, concrete re- inforcing bars 27.3 per cent up and anneaied fence wire 11.3 per cent up.
 Works Both Ways
 Mrs. Roosevelt said at her press conference that she opposed plans for a war referendum requirement.
 People can be persuaded to be swept into vote for war as well as a vote against war;" she said.
 "So can congress" someone pointed out.
 "Yes," Mrs. R. agreed. "SO can Congress"
 In her recent book called 'This Troubled World" the First Lady urged an international tribunal to decide whether a nation was an "aggressor," economic boycott against such a nation, an snterna- tional police force to enforce de- cisions of central body, and either complete government own- ership of arms and munitions fac- tories or the strictest kind of gov

cils not one member has ever been absent.
 The overhead of this new cooper ative effort against infantile paral- ysis has been minimal. The money has been devoted to purchase of animals and scientific materils.
 Had it not been for the money furnished by the American people, in 1855, to the presidents infantile paralysis research commission, the great progress in this hunt for truth, here recorded would have been im- possible. Now again-unless the peo- pie join in the support of this hope ful fight-the battle must languish. Because there is an acute starvation in respect to money for the one in- dispensable weapon in this hunt for truth.

 For two years now a far-fung group of the most able virus spe- cialists in the United States have had chance at untrammeled hunt for truth. The work has been car ried on with the utmost economy. With single exception, the univer- sities have furnished the laboratory space the rooms for animals, all the facilities needed for the investiga- tions.

BY PAUL DE KRUIF Written for NEA Service

What IS 1t that makes such a large majority of children and almost all grown-ups, resist infection during epidemics? It does not seem to de- pend upon the power of & human being'7 blood to fight the virus. What then is the reason?
 Dr. w. L. Aycock of Harvard has found the hint of 8 new truth that human peculiarity may doom cer- tain people to paralysis or death when the virus invades their nos trils. Aycock has discovered that, if he emaSculateS monkeyS-which up- sets not only their reproductive ability but also their other glands of internal 'secretion-the mucous membranes up inside their noses be- come much thinner. And, at the same time, it becomes much easier to infect such simians with infan- tile paralysis when you drop it into their nostrils.
 Not only so, but when Aycock ad- ministers concentrated sex hormone to these monkeys which have been emasculated, in a short time the mucous membranes of their nosses thicken again.
 And again it becomes more diff ficult to infect them. Is some glan- dular peculiarity at the bottom of human susceptibility to the paralytic sickness? Will Aycock find it pos isble to attempt to thicken the mucous membranes of children's noses-by infections that would change their glandular machinery? NATURE OF VIRUS v IS BIG PUZZLE
 Deep down below Ill these labora- torial truth hunts lies this engima what exactly is this virus of in- fantile paralysis?
 In the past two years most fan tastic discovery has been made about other disease producing viruses. They can actually be cryStalliZed. like ordinary chemicals. They appear to be molecules of protein. very closely related to the protein stuff of the plants and animals that they Sicken and kill.
 Might not the infant1le paralySS virus be only some mysteriously very slightly altered nerve tissue of human beings? Various searchers are now hard at work to purify, to refine, to determine the exact chem istry of the irfantile paralysis virus. And they are beginning to make progress. And if they succeed in crystalizing 1t, then there is hope that the murderousness of these al- most-living, self-multiplying crystals can be suppressed by chemical means. This has already been done with viruses like that of the mosaic disease of tobacco.
 And what does this mean, for mankind? Just this: that the cure of infantile paralysis, that its ob- liberation are not beyond the reach of science.

SHEEP KILLING
DOGS ON LOOSE

Farmers in the vincinity of
Worthington are oiling up their
shotgunS as they lay in wait for
renegade dogs who have been do
ing hundreds of dollars damage in
recent weeks.
Last week Albert Lemke lost
so head of feeding lambs in one
night. When he went into the
yard the following morning he
found dead sheep strewn over the
lot. Thirty-two dead or fatally
injured lambs were piled up in a
fence corner.
The dogs, apparently a good
sized pack, had worked silently
and Systematically killing for
sheer lust. A few lambs had
been partly eaten but most of
them were merely ripped open or
had been trampled to death in the
stampede. Loss was estimated at
$500.
Lemke Immediately got some of
his neighbors together and they
drove 35 miles examining dogs
and looking for signs of the mar
auders. They were unsuccessful.
Several other farmers had res
ported losses in recent weeks but
none were hit as severely as was
Lemke.
In Mobiles county, where Worth
ington is situated, there is no in
demnity for sheep killed dogs.
There is state law authorizing
counties to assess a dog tax to
provide such a fund but Mobiles
has not taken advantage of it In
recent years.

and she dashed home after them.
Then she took the experimental
seat, placed two fingers on the
electrodes and the test began.
She looked at Bob's picture.
