THE FIGHT FOR LIFE
Paul DeKruif

Medical research has recently
made its greatest progress since the
days Of Pasteur. New discoveries
have now made 1t possible not on
ly to control, but perhaps to wipe
out, some of mankind's most dread
diseases. Healthmen have declared
war on maternal mortality, syphil-
is, tuberculosis, infantile paralysis.
Paul DeKruif gives a clear picture
of the situation. This famous writ
er, whose basic achievement to date
has been to shorten the tragic--if
not criminal-time lag between
scientific discovery and the popu-
lar understanding that puts science
to work, does two important things
in his new book. First, he tells the
stirring story of the triumph of
modern science on nalf a dozen bat
tlefronts. Second, ne shows what
tangles, perils, and problems lie in
the path of anyone and everyone
engaging in the fight for life to-
day.

The Sudetens tried to cross the
border into Germany. Czechs chased,

replied. No. one apparently was in

was stopped early today. causing con-
Germ for the food supply in the iso-
lated Asch area, which has q popu-

Germans.
The general mobilization In Czecho-
slovakia caused the disruption Of train
service.
The railways are operated by the
German state railways deep into
Czechoslovak territory as far as Eyer.
Thus the last link between the Asch
area and the rest Of Czechoslovakia
was cut.
Asch found itself between its own
road barriers. which separate it from
Eyer. and the German customs wall.
Blocking OF highways by Sudeten
Germans meant that any food sup
plies must come in by rail. Merchants
reported stocks of -four and other
necessities were diminishing.
