u. S. Chemists
Receive
| Award

Award of the Hillebrand prize OF
the Chemical Society Of Washington
to Drs. Raleigh Gilchrist and Ed
ward Wichers of the Bureau of
Standards for development of q
method of chemical analysis of
platinum metals was announced
today. p
The prize will be presented at the
annual dinner of the society Thurs
day night. 1t has long been known
that there are six closely related
metals in the platinum group, but
they are so similar that their
separation has hitherto been con.
sidered an impossible task.
The Bureau of Standards chemists
also have been able to obtain
samples of these metals in a high
degree of purity. Three of them
platinum itself, rhodium and iridium
are used to define, by means of
their freezing temperatures, stand
ard points in the upper range of the
temperature scale, to provide funda-
mental standards of light, and to
make ultra-precise measurements
Of temperature.
All six metals are closely related
to gold.

AmIie Denies He Plans
To Withdraw Name

Thomas r. Amle, former Repre-
sentative from Wisconsin whose ap-
pointment to the Interstate Com
merce Commission is pending be-
fore a Senate subcommittee, said
today he is contemplating no re-
quest for withdrawal of his nomi-
nation.
The appointment drew consider
able criticism during subcommittee
hearings largely because of Mr.
Amlie's previously spoken and
printed views in favor of Govern
ment ownership of railroads. Al
though the subcommittee has not
yet acted on the nomination, ad-
ministration foes have predicted II
would be rejected If brought to a
vote in the Senate.
Remarking today that he had
heard reports he intended to ask the
President to withdraw his name, Mr.
Amlie said he didn't know their
source and absolutely" expected tc
let the appointment stand for Sen
ate action.
The subcommittee which has been
considering the appointment IL
scheduled to meet tomorrow to con-
slider qualifications of j. Haden
Alldredge of Alabama to the com.
mission. A committee vote on the
two appointments then is expected
within a week.

81 Are Admitted
To Citizenship Here

Sixty-four persons Of various
nattonalities were admitted to United
States citizenship today in District
Court, including two brothers, for
merly Birthstone of whom availed
himself of his legal right to change
his name, while the other stood by
that of his father.
Naturalization Court was held by
Justice F. Dickinson Let's, who
heard Emmanuel Gerondakis, former
British subject, change his name to
Michael Dakis. His brother, James
Gerondakis, said that the surname
was his fathers and 1t was good
enough for him. Ofncials explained
that under the naturalization
statutes q new citizen is given the
privilege Of changing his name when
he is admitted to citizenship.
Today's list was one of the largest
eyer admitted in District Court here,
being the biggest hearing since 1884
with the exception Of July, 1896,
when SO were admitted. Mrs. Helen
T. McGraw, naturalization clerk
at District Court, pointed out that
76' petitions we're filed last month
and she attributed the stimulated
interest in American citizenship to
theswar scares abroad, to the drop
ping Of aliens from w. P. A. rolls,
the added benefits Of old-age pen
sions and relief.
The "a admitted today were dis
tributed as to nationality thus: Brit
ish, IT; Italian, IA; German, 10;
Russian, Z; Austrian and Polish, 8
each; French, 2, and l each from

Leukemia Evidenced
In Gum Disorders,
Dentists Told
New Responsibilities Put
On Profession to Aid
Other Medical Branches

The first symptoms of various
acute forms of leukemia, deadly
cancers of the blood" appear in
the mouth as sore or swollen gums,
DR.. Thomas j. Cook of Philadelphia
told the Five State Post Graduate
Clinic at its annual convention at
the Mayflower today.
This finding DR.. Cook character
lied as an outstanding advance in
dental science during the past few
years. 1t places the dentist, he said,
In new relation to medicine,
while little can be done for the acute
leukemias, he said, other forms of
pre-cancerous LESSONS can be de-
tected by the dentist if he takes care
to differentiate malignancies ap-
pearing In the oral cavity from the
more common trench mouth.
Dentists should be particularly on
the lookout for trench mouth, caused
by the mutual action Of two forms
Of bacteria. at this time OF the year,
he stressed. 1t largely disappears
during the warm months when per-
sons build up their resistance with
fresh air and sunshine and breaks
out when the resistance is at its low
est point in the last weeks of winter.
There are many carriers of the
malady who do not have it them
selves, he said. These are persons
with an abundant population of one
of the necessary bacteria in their
mouths, but very few of the other, or
who have enough natural resistance
to protect them against both to-
gether. A common way of spreading
it, he said, has been found to be
through beer glasses which are not
properly washed with soap and water
for fear of f1attening the beer.
Cancers of the mouth, which can
be detected by the dentist, he said,
are coming to light in larger num-
bers than ever before. A common
cause is the irritation due to smok-
ing. There is no absolute evidence,
he stressed, that the condition Is on
the increase. The apparent increase
may be due to greater vigilance on
the part of dentists.
DR.. Herbert H. Kabnick of New
York presented a paper on modern
lied fixed bridge construction and
DR.. Dayton D. Campbell of Kansas
City on the human relations Of the
! dentist.
| The afternoon session is consider
ing new materials for use in dental
work with papers by Drs. R. w.
Tench of New York, Stuart ]. Hor-
ner of Pittsburgh and William T.
Sweeney, research associate at the
Bureau Of Standards.
There will be an informal dance
and style show for wives of the visit

Commissioners
Draft Plan Of
Reorganization
Propose Several D. c.
Agencies Remain
Unchanged

Proposing that the status Of sew
eral major agencies of the District
government remain unchanged, the
District Commissioners have COM
pleted the draft of reorganization
plan that will be offered as a sub
stitute for the Griffenhagen pro-
gram when House hearings get
under way tomorrow.
The Commissioners, it was made
known today for the first time, will
propose that the Public Utilities
Commission. the Minimum Wage
Board, the Unemployment Compen-
sation Commission and the Alcohol
Beverage Control Board retain their
semi-independent status, reporting
directly to the Commissioners in
stead of going under the supervision
OF one Of the executive departments
the Griffenhagen plan would create.
At the same time, the Commis-
sioners confirmed earlier advices
that their program would embody
these features also:
Consolidation of administrative
functions, but with fewer than the
II departments recommended by the
Griffenhagen report.
Retention of the three man COM
mission as opposed to the suggested
council of five to seven members and
city administrator.
Continued independence for the
Board of Education and Board o.
Library Trustees. rather than the
subordination to one of the depart
ments.
In connection with the commissio
proposals made public today it W;
said that experts have declared !
would be "ruinous" for an agenc
such as the Public Utilities Con
mission to be deprived of any free
dom of action.
The commission plan received tt
approval late yesterday of Comm
sioners Hazen and McCoach, Corp
ration Counsel Seal, Auditor Do;
ovan and Highway Director White
hurst.
