VACCINE TESTS
 READY IF FLU STRIKES HARD
Navy Leads in Program Designed to Serve
 West Coast

San Francisco, Aug. 14--(UP)- The greatest mass test in the his- tory of meaical science of new vaccine will be made this fall on the Pacific coast if an epidemic of influenza develops.
 The anti-infIuenza vaccine, which was developed at the Rockefeller Institute, has been ready for some time but the opportunity to test 1t on a scale broad enough to give conclusive evidence of its effi- cheney has not been presented.
 Medical science, however, knows the vagaries of the disease and foresees recurrence of it in Oc- tober on the Pacific coast.
 As a certain length of time is required for the vaccine to act and build up immunity, it is nec- essary that the injections be made in advance of an epidemic to test its worth when the disease strikes.
 Test in 194O Failed
 An effort to test the vaccine was made in California last fall, large ly by interested physicians and scientists when an epidemic of in- fluenza suddenly appeared, but the wave of sickness passed before 1t was possible to check any defen- sive resistance the vaccine may have developed.
 For the next test, however, more than 2,OOO sailors and group of IA navy specialists have been i,1- oculated for some time.
 In addition, another 10000 navy men are being inoculated at the San Diego and San Francisco na- val bases, as well as at Camp El- liot.
 The test will be made on the most thorough basis. Samples of blood are taken from those to be irrmunized and examined at the laboratories of California universi- ties to determine what resistance they may have before the iniec- tions are administered. Later, when the inoculation has become effec- tive, 8 new blood analysis will be made to see to what extent resist ance has been built up.
 Cases T0 Be Checked
 And finally, if the epidemic comes, a check will be kept on the pro- portion of those inoculated and those not inoculated who fall vic- timS.
 The mass test is being made ,ln- der the general direction of Com mander Albert P. Krueger at the University of California with his group of IA navy research special ists.
 The investigation has been made possible by the fact that during the 1923 epidemic it was ascer- tained that influenza is a virus disease. The virus finally was iso- lated and thus it was possible to develop an anti-vaccine.
 More than 30,OO0,OOO lost their lives during the 1918 epidemic. Of the 550,O00 men who were in the navy at that time, one out of every four contracted the disease and some ships were disabled because of lack of man power.
 Commander Krueger hopes the test to be made this fall will make 1t possible to forestall any such wholesale epdemics in the future and especially at the present time when vast armies are grouped in Europe, Asia, Africa and the Unit ed States where an epidemic is more likely to be devastating.

HENDERSON BILL
 HAS BEEN HALTED
Banking, Currency Com- mittee Decided to Delay
 Action on Initiation

Washington, Aug. 14.-(UP)-The House banking and currency com- mittee rejected today the request of Price Control Administrator Leon Henderson for speedy approval of the anti-inf1ation bill and decided to recess its hearings until mid-Sep- tember.
 Henderson had testified before the committee that statutory authority is needed immediately to control in- flationary price trends and booming rents.
 Chairman Henry B. Steagall, D., Ala, said after the committee had voted the recess, that the action was Gin no sense an attempt of anybody to filibuster the proposed legisla- tion."
 we're just tired and anxious to go home for a while" he said.
 Rep. Jesse F. WoIcott, R., Mich, said the committee felt deliberate consideration of the measure was necessary because lone error in writing the legislation may wreck our entire economic system" He believed the legislation was poten- italy the most far-reaching grant of authority ever considered by the House.

SENATE READY TO
 VOTE ARMY BILL
Expected to Support House Measure for Extension
 of Army Service

Washington, Aug. 14.-(UP)-The Senate is expected to accept the House version of the army service extension resolution today and send 1t to President Roosevelt for sigma ture..
 Senate opponents of retaining draftees, National Guardsmen, re- servists and enlisted regulars for 18 months beyond their normal service, decided at conference that fur ther fight would be useless.
 We would like to give the House another chance to vote on the bill" {" Sen. Robert A. Taft, R., O., said. "but we don't see any way of do- ing it"
 The House passed the resolution by a one vote margin, 203 to POP, af- ter tumultuous session Tuesday evening. It would have had an op- portunity to vote again only if the Senate had decided to reject its amendments and send the resolution to conference to reconcile the dif- ferences. The House then would have voted on the conference report. House leaders want to avoid an- other test, and Sen. Ebert D. Thomas, D., Utah, said he would move to have the Senate concur in the House amendments, none of which materially change the Senate version.
 This motion has preference over any move to send the bill to con- ference, and since the Senate passed the bill 45 to 30, leaders were con- fident they could win final Senate approval today. Some opposition senators indicated there would be @ few speeches before final action, but 1t was likely they would not inc sist on @ record vote.

AMMUNITION SPACE
 HAS BEEN INCREASED

Eighteen igloo-type ammunition magazines have been completed by WPA workers at Camp Stanley, near San Antonio (Texas).

The most northerly located camp in
the Superior National Forest, Co. I'll
is at the halfway point on the pictur-
esque Echo trail and is but 10 miles
from the Canadian border 1t is Is
miles from Ely
The camp plays an important part in
the forest for it is adjacent to the
great roadless area and an extensive
supply of mature or near mature tim
Der.
Because of the established stand of
timber the camps fire protection re-
sponsibilities are very great, and special
equipment and methods are required
because there are no roads other than
the Echo trail and abandoned logging
roads to be found anywhere in the
area that it serves.
For the past three winters the camp
has averaged about 100000 board feet
of manufactured lumber Of various
dimensions for use throughout the
entire Superior National Forest. Its
sawmill supplies the demands of the
forest service for lumber for bridges,
buildings, and CCC camps.
The camp practices selective cut
ting. leaving an adequate replacement
stock. and much Of the lumber in the
past three years has come from the
Big lake blowdown. The salvage work
done by the camp at Big lake amounted
to thousands of dollars.
The camp serves a portion of one
of the greatest canoe areas in the
world. From Crane lake on the west
to Eastwood on the east it maintains
portages and erects camp ground facil-
tiles. The camps are designed to de-
tract as little as possible from the
appearance. They eStab-
lished a known camping point, which
aids materially in reducing forest fires
and in the disposal of refuse
The camp also conducts game and
fish surveys IN the Superior state
