Hatch Says Press Helped
| Pass Politics Bill
By the Associated Press.


Senator Hatch, Democrat, Of New
Mexico told the Senate yesterday
that much of the credit for passage
of his bill to curb political activities
of Federal employees should go to
he Nations press.
The Hatch bill Is now before Presi-
dent Roosevelt.
The New Mexico Senator said he
felt he would be remiss if heodid
not call the Senate's attention to
the part the newspapers had played
in passage of the bill.
Asserting that he was every ap-
preciative of the sympathy and un-
derstanding" of the newspapers.
Senator Hatch declared that the
press had done more to make the
people conscious Of the objectives of
the bill than I and my colleagues
could possibly have done"
Meanwhile, Representative Celler,
Democrat, of New York said the
Hatch bill should be vetoed by Presi-
dent Roosevelt 'if for no other
reason. but its vagueness.
"The House would sustain a presi-
Dental Veto" Mr.. Celler said in a
statement. THE restrictions on ac-
tivities of non-classified Federal
employees in State primary elections
are doubtless unconstitutional. Con-
gress has no authority to interfere
with primary elections.

tobacco Growers Invited
To Price Conference
b the Associated Press.

The Agricultural Adjustment Ad-
ministration yesterday asked grow
ers of flue-cured tobacco to send
representatives here for a confer
ence tomorrow on ways of bolster
ing prices Of their product.
Tobacco markets opened in Flor
ida and Georgia this week with
prices averaging from So to $40 a
hundred pounds below a year ago,
causing farmers to demand govern
mental action.
Factors said to have contributed
to the price decline are prospects
for q record domestic tobacco crop,
a curtailed export market and in
creased production abroad. Ameri-
can farmers increased this years
tobacco acreage after voting in ref
erenda last winter to remove mark
eting quota restrictions of the crop
control law.
Oficiais said two or three repre-
sentatives, to be chosen by state
A. A. A. and extension oficials,
were expected from the principal
f1ue-cured producing states of Flor
ida, Georgia, North Carolina, South

Rats Used 10 Produce
Vaccine 10 Combat
Typhus Diseases
Mexieon EpidesnioIoeist
Reports New Method
To Science Congress
By the Associated Press.

BY the A6SOCahIeu FIoSS.
BERKELEY, Calf, July 29.-Mice
and rats, In q new scientific role as
friends of man, have been used to
produce a rare vaccine to combat
the typhus fever diseases. Under
various DISCUSSES such diseases have
preyed on human beings around the
world.
DIR. M. Ruiz Castenada, noted
Mexican government epidemiolo-
gist, reported to the Pacific Science
Congress today he had used the ro-
dents in a new way to produce mas
sive amounts Of the vaccine.
Heretofore the vaccine in pure
form has been difficult to make and
only relatively small quantities have
been produced.
Virus Parasite Of Ticks.
The typhus group Of diseases is
attributed mainly to a virus called
rickettsia. 1t is a natural parasite
of certain ticks, heas and lice, living
in their intestines without causing
much harm. AS animal parasites,
the insects eventually transmit the
disease to man.
These diseases are known by va
rious names in the affected coun-
tries - Rocky Mountain spotted
fever in the United States and
Canada, Brazilian spotted fever in
Brazil, tsutsugamushi in Japan, and
varoiusly in Europe and the Orient
under the general term typhus. 1t
infests thousands of epidemics ana
kills as high as 20 per cent of those
affected
In Mexico, Dr. Castenada and an
associate succeeded in making vac
cine for humans first by injecting the
viruses into the peritoneum of q rat.
There they would multiply and give
rise to an "antigen." This antigen
tends to inhibit the disease itself,
and thus is the active agent in the
vaccine.
But the culture process was diff
cult and the returns comparatively
small.
Animals Inoculated.
In recent months DR.. Castenada
and his co-workers inoculated rats
and mice through the nose-by way
of natural body opening instead
of through an abdominal puncture.
The inoculated animals quickly
became i'll of pneumonia-not the
kind ordinarily caused by the pneu-
monia germ, but a similar lung in
flamation from which they died
quickly.
On examining the lungs DR.. Cas-
tenada found immense quantities of
rickettsiae, which meant the anti
gen substances were likewise present.
The yield was so prolific that steps
are being taken to regularly produce
vaccine by that method.
Epidemiologists who heard DR..
Castenada's report described the dis
covery as of great significance.

EXHIBIT NUMBER ONE

The war that is pending through
out the world will without doubt
break the heart of mankind! In
brutality and deadliness and suf-
fering the World War will be
merely a skirmish and introduc-
ton. If Europe accedes to the
demands of Hitler, it will near
the economic and moral enslave-
ment of millions; and if Europe
does not accede, there is every
reason to except deadly and de-
vastating war in the near future.
In any event England is to be
blamed. Her jittery statesman
ship of 1938-39 is but the reaping
of a harvest that was sown in
selfishness and greed these 20
years since the treaty of Versail-
les. England was so bent on its
program of world hegemony that
it sacrificed everybody and every
thing that stood in it's way. France
knew from bitter experience that
Germany had to be kept in a state
of subjugation, if the peace and
safety of Europe was to be pre-
served. France faced the ugly facts
of history. England tried in the
interest of its territorial, and eco
nomic hegemony to be idealistic
and failed to note the signs of the
times, with the result Germany
has come back and taken the
lead in the affairs of the world.
1 repeat what | said upon my
return from Germany last summer
that the only way to keep Ger
many from conquering Europe is
to conquer its territory and par
titions it among the other nations.
There is no nation or combination
of nations that can accomplish
this today. The result is Germany
is bidding for the supremacy not
only of Europe but the world.
If England had faced the facts
and like France had prepared,
the world would be spared the orgy
of death and suffering that is
Immediately in the offering.
To make matters worse our
politicians are inviting disaster

country by as cheap and vacillat-
ing shortsightedness as was ever
