In reply to q direct question by
Surg. Gen. Thomas Parran, DR..
Eagles said: II can only say that
by means of this organism we have
not been able to confer on rabbits
protection against syphilitic infec-
ton. However, there is some evil
dence that the immunological pic
ture in the rabbit is changed.
Work Highly Experimental.
DR.. Eagles refused to amplify this
statement later. The work. he said,
is in a highly experimental stage,
the immunological results are only
suggestive at the best, and even use
of the organisms in a test for the
presence of syphilis is so delicate
that 1t cannot be recommended to
the medical profession.
At his own laboratory, he ex-
planned, it has made a sharp dis
tinction between syphylis and lep-
rosy from the blood picture-a field
in which other tests have proved
wanting. Positive reactions may be
given, however, by persons suffering
from malaria, who actually have no
trace of syphilis.
Panama plans this year the gi-
gantic job of vaccinating against
smallpox the entire population of
the republic, 1t was reported by DR..
A. v. Mastellari, health director of
that country. This has become ad-
visable, he said, because of the
enormous increase in the population
due to the building of additional
locks of the Panama Canal. The
job will be carried out in close CO.
operation with the Canal Zone au-
thorities.

The District Court trial Of four

who are charged with conspiring to

end its argument against defense
motion for a directed verdict.
Contesting the motion late yester-
day. James Hayes, special assistant

the testimony thus far introduced

Padway Denies Act Applies.
Joseph A. Padway, general counsel
for the American Federation of
Labor, in moving for dismissal of
the charges yesterday, insisted that
labor is not subject to the Sherman
Antitrust Act, under which the
prosecution is being conducted, and
said that the strike of teamsters
which led to the indictment of the
union leaders, was to further the
legitimate objectives of labor-im-
proved working conditions.
Both A. F. of L. Afiliates.
The Government charges that the
strike was an effort to force concrete
contractors to break a contract with
the Operating Engineers Union and
put Teamsters Union members on
mixer trucks. This consti-
tuted an illegal restraint of trade
within the meaning of the Sherman
Act, it Is contended. Both unions
are affiliates of the A. F. of L.
One observation-disclosures O'Brien,
a representative of the International
Union of Teamsters-was freed yes

100000 Voted
To Complete
Navy Memorial
Interior Su pply Bill
Passes Senate With
Increases for D. C.

A new item Of 100000 for COM
pletion OF the Navy and Marine
Memorial, on the Columbia Island
area near the Mount Vernon high
way. was added to the Interior De-
partment supply bill as it was passed
late yesterday by the Senate.
The move, sponsored by Senator
Danaher, Republican, of Connecti-
cut, was accepted by Senator Hay
den, Democrat. Of Arizona, in charge
OF the measure, prior to Senate
action. In protesting the unfinished
state of the memorial, Senator
Danaher recalled that Congress a
year ago authorized a similar ap-
preparation. which has not yet been
made, and revealed a lengthy list
OF Connecticut residents who had
made contributions toward the me-
mortal
As the bill came from the Senate,
calling for total outlay in the next
fiscal year Of $l36, ,262 1884, it included
other increases amounting to more
than 500, 900 for projects or services
In the National Capital, all Of which
had been added to the bill Wednes-
day by the Senate Appropriations
Committee.
Jefferson Memorial Shares Increase,
There were:
An increase Of Sill ,260 to House
figures for landscaping and improve
ments in the area surrounding the
Thomas Jefferson Memorial, to raise
the sum for this purpose to the
$$375,O 600 recommended by the
Budget Bureau;
An increase Of $4,000 to provide
for erection of a first-aid police
lodge and comfort station at the
Water Gate in West Potomac Park
which would be built into the abut-
ment OF the Arlington Memorial
Bridge;
An increase of $s5,ooo for purchase
OF uniforms for employees of st.
Ellzabeths Hospital, and,
An increase of $14,780 for addi.
tlonal salaries and maintenance at
Freedmen's Hospital.
Senator Thomas Backs Chaare.
The additional fund for improve
ment OF the grounds of the Jefferson
Memorial was recommended by
the Appropriations Committee after
Senator Thomas, Democrat, of Utah,
vice chairman of the Memorial
Commission. joined with National
Park Service officials in urging the
change.
The project, it was said, calls for
changes in the Tidal Basin seawall
and adjoining grounds on the east
and west sides Of the memorial,
only part Of which could be done
under the House figures, and 1t was
argued the ultimate cost would be
some $4,000 greater II the work
were done piecen1eal.
The grounds improvements, It was
reported, would entail the removal,
and later replacement, of "a cherry
trees, but officials of the Memorial
Commission declared these trees all
were old and would have to be re-
moved under normal conditions,
and that the commissions plans call
for planting of additional cherry
trees on both the east and west
sides of the memorial.
