New Drugs Found

Chemical Society Told
Of 6. U. Experiments
With Germ Killer
BY THOMAS r. HENRY,

BALTIMORE, April 6.-New
weapons against disease-some Of
which may prove even more effec-
tive than the miracle, drug, sulfa-
nilamide-are being forged In the
test tubes and in the bloom streams
of the rabbits and guinea pigs Of
American chemists.
Always with the injunction that
they we"e not to be used on human
beings until they have been thor
oughly tested in medical labora-
tories, half dozen of these were
described before the American
Chemical Society, meeting here TO-
day.
DR.. M. X. Sullivan of the George
town University School of Medicine
told of experiments with a SUD-
stance known as mercaptobenzo-
thiazol, now used extensively in the
inflammation of rubber
He measured its killing action in
test tubes against the molds that
cause potato, tomato and onion
blights and the streptococci respon-
sible for some of the most virulent
human and animal diseases. Against
all these, he found, it was effective
in about one-fourth the minimum
dose of sulfanilamide required
against streptococci.
Kills Streptococci Outright.
The action of the latter drug
against various virulent organisms
which invade the blood stream is
to prevent their increase While the
body has a chance to mobilize its
natural defense mechaniSms against
the initial invaders. Mercaptobenzo-
thlazol, DR.. Sullivan found, kills the
streptococci outright.
In tests with rabbits he found that
the substance had no poisonous ef-
fects on the animals either when
given by mouth or injected, In con-
trast to sulfanilamide, which has
toxic side actions. The new drug has
not yet been tried on human beings.
In rubber plants, however, workers
continually breathe considerable
amounts into the lungs from whence

Sullivan said, and careful checkups
by company physicians reveal that
no bad effects ever have been re-
ported. 1t is soluble in water to
about the same extent as sulfa-
nilamide.
1t may find use, DR.. Sullivan be-
lieveS, not only as medicine but
as a cheap and effective spray for
mold-infested crops and as a pre-
sentative of wood. such as the foun-
dations of houses and the buried
portions of telephone poles. 1t kills
the fungus organisms which, with
the aid of dampness, are responsible

Defense Tax Plan
As 'Camouf|age'
further Extravaganza
Feared; Expenditures
Cut Urged for Budget
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
President Roosevelt's talk of q
special national defense tax was de-
scribed last night by Representative
Treadway, Republican, of Massa-
chusetts as "camouf1age for fur
ther extravagances."
The Massachusetts Representa-
tive, senior minority member of the
House Ways and Means Committee,
which originates tax legislation, told
reporters the only way the budget
could be balanced was by reducing
expenditures.
This Government cannot meet it's
present-day expenditures by any
form of taxation without causing
terrible hardships and perhaps con-
flscatlon OF property" he said. "Tax-
es ere as high as people can stand"
Without advocating such a levy
President Roosevelt suggested at
Warm Springs, Ga, Friday that the
country should think about the ad-
visibility of special tax to pay at
least part of the emergency defense
costs.
This idea Immediately received
qualified Endorsement from legisla-
tors here.
Senator Vandenberg, Republican,
OF Michigan said he thought ex-
traordinary defense expenditures
should be on "a pay-as-you-go
basis" financed by special taxes.
Mr.. Roosevelt did not indicate he
had in mind any particular type of
levy, but Georgia Congress members
who conferred with him yesterday
talked afterward of adjusting in
come taxes in lower brackets and
the gift and inheritance taxes.

Strike Is Ordered

Workers Vote Action
At Closed Factory;
Pieketing Planned
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
DETROIT, Nov. 25.-R. ]. Thomas,
president of the United Automobile
Workers Union &C. I. o., today
ordered a strike at the main Dodge
plant of the Chrysler Corp, which
has been shut down for 81 days be-
cause of a dispute over terms of
working contract with the union.
The Dodge plant, a key unit of the
Chrysler Corp, was one of the first
to close in the controversy, but the
corporation and the union have
differed over whether a strike" or
a lockout" prevailed.
In calling the strike, effective at
once" Mr.. Thomas charged the
Chrysler Corp. with having fostered
forced to-work movement" !"
He asserted the attempt Friday of
group of foundry workers to enter
the Dodge plant had been inspired
by the corporation, contrary to
promises that any settlement of
the dispute would be reached over
the conference table"

Chrysler officials said 81 gained
admittance to the Dodge plant Fri
day, but denied the corporation had
organized any back-to-work move
ment. Eight persons suffered minor
injuries and % others were arrested
but later released with orders to
return for further questioning on
Monday.
In announcing the strike order,
Mr.. Thomas said it had been voted
by Dodge plant workers, 1881 to
1924. He added: Full time picket
lines will be established. Any per-
sons attempting to enter the plants
for work will be regarded as strike
breakers.
with the plant closed down,
there need be no further danger of
disorder-unlesS the corporation
again provokes it. We may now
proceed to bring the negotiations to
a peaceful conclusion"
Murray May Join Negotiations.
Negotiations looking to a settle
ment of the differences were in ad-
journment today. When they are
resumed Monday, Philip Murray,
vice president of the C. I. O., will
be in Detroit on invitation of the
y. A. w. and probably will partici-
pate in the negotiations. Mr..
Thomas announced he had asked
Mr.. Murray here for consultation
with the officers of the y. A. W."
An obstacle to settlement of the
controversy developed last week in
a demand by United Foreman and
Supervisors Union &C. I. o. local
for bargaining recognition by the
Chrysler corporation. The demand
was rejected by the corporation,
which termed it part of union at

Chrysler plants.
Subsequently the demand was
Withdrawn, but Chrysler representa-
tives have insisted that the future
status of the Foreman and Super
visors' Union be clarified.
Approximately $4,000 Chrysler

have been made idle by the dispute.

chosen. Ingram, who played sDe
Lawd' on the screen in Green Pas
lures and did several Broadway
plays, was appearing IN New York
in ssSing Out the News at the time
'Huckleberry Finn was being
planned.
Although not o singer and dancer
he was hit with the "Franklin p.

he danced. He was brought 10 Hel-
lywood for the Jim role and today,
as "Huckleberry Finn is made
ready for release around the nation,
it is predicted he will be q sensation.
Already, the picture has been pre-
viewed twice and it is remarkable
thing that half of all audience re-
action cards turned IN have praised
his performance. Such reaction for y
Negro actor has never been expert
enced in Hollywood before. Mean7
while, Ingram has returned to the

wood beckons again with another
