plan would require tremendous re. adjustments of present American shipping routes.
 The President said he realized fully that the program he was pro. posing will cause not only great inconvenience but the loss of trade and sacrifices by the consuming public"
 Land also was instructed to ex- plore every possible means of in- creasing the number of employees at work in shipyardS on new ton- mage, to further develop the train- ing program of shipyard workers, and to speed Up the authorized ship building program.
 T Enforce Order
 The maritime commission irnme- diately assigned II. Harris Robson, vice president of the United Fruit Lines who has been working on the governments shipping problems for several months, to enforce the Presidents order.
 In addition to the foreign idle ships, there were these sources from which Land and Robson can draw tonnage:
 ships now in foreign trade - 300 vessels, totaling about S,6oo'ooo tons.
 1ntercoastal - 1l3 ships, about 650,000 tons.
 Coastwise - 206 ships, about l." 365 900 tons.
 Great Lakes = About 2y600 900 tons in comparatively small craft. principally vessels up to about 2O0 feet. There is no present ointention of attempting to use the lakes pig ore carriers.
 New construction - About 71 ships becoming available this year, totaling about 100000 tons. In 1e42, the Maritime Commission hopes that pc,oduEtion will readh 300 ships and about 2,700,O 900 tons.
 Remnants of laid-up World War fleet - about 10 or l2 ships, ainolint- ing to about 100000 tons.

 MT. Roosevelt outlined two steps for the ship pool program.

 "In Libya, yesterday evening (Wearc.day), the enemy infantry in some strength supported by nu- merous tanks, launched an attack against the outer defenses of To- bruk.
 "By this morning the penetra- ton had been made. Details are not yet available. Fighting is con- tinuing,"
 Greeks Are Rescued
 Cairo, May l-(UP)-Greek fight ing forces which desired to continue fighting the Axis were rescued from Greece by the British navy in con- nection with th cv cuation of at least 30 per cent of t. 60,O00 1m- perial troops, 1t was stated today by we'll Informed sources.
 The 48,000 British troops eStima- ted to have been rescued from Greece destroyed "every piece" of serviceable equipment before aban- doning their war materials In Greece, 1t was added.
 We evacuated a number of Greek troops" one informant explained.
 Although no figures are avail- able, it is understood that we evacu- ated almost all of the Greeks who wanted to leave their homeland"
 There was hope that still more of the fighting men from Greece, both British and Greek, would yet reir- force the Army of the Nile for the impending struggle in the eastern Mediterranean.
 It was indicated plainly that the evacuation, carried out from open beaches, was still going on and that cnly the last of the rear guard, the little suicide corps that was still fighting the Germans against over whelming odds, would be lost.
 The communique, telling for the first time considerable part of the last days in Greece, was issued by general headquarters of the middle eastern command.
 Embarked at Open Beaches
 It disclosed that the Germans had so ruined the ancient port of Pt- raeus, the Port of Athens, that 1t was unusable so embarkation from open beaches, as at Dunkirk, was necessary.
 It disclosed also that key men of the expeditionary force had been evacuated by transport plane.
 The communique disclosed that the Imperial troops were holding a line at Thermopylae when advised that Greek resistance was about to collapse and were invited to with draw.
 The British, Australian and New Zealand troops fought their way back under pressure of German forces many times their number and the little rear guard had fought so stoutly 1t forced the Germans to slow up and thus made 1t possible to evacuate such an unexpectedly large proportion of the entire force
 The communique emphasized that the evacuated troops had kept all their fighting equipment, though they had been compelled to aban- don much heavy equipment and transport, and were convinced oi their superiority over the Germans in 8 fight on equal terms, both az individuals and aS units and forma- tons.
 A successful withdraway of SC large e proportion of these fin. valuable" troops is 6 noteworthy achievement" the communique said

Penetrated Thls Mornlng

"By this morning, the penetration had been made. Details are not yet available. Fighting is continu- ang."
 The British naval forces as well ns the R. A. P. have sought to back up the beseiged garrison at Tobruk, often attacking the German and 1talian lines and bombarding supply durnpS or columns.
 Jan Yindrich, United Press cor respondent, was the only newspa- perman with the British forces at T0bruk, has reported in vivid de- tail the stroy of fighting day after day on a desert coast, where tough Anzac soldiers stood of many at tacks by enemy armored and mec- anized units.

London, May l.-(UP)-British planes raided Berlin, Kiel, Ham. burg and Emden curing the night, the air ministry announced today.
 Kiel, the important and much bombed German naval and siibma- rine base at the Baltic end of the Kiel Canal, was the main target, the air ministry said.
 The air ministry comrnunique said targets in the Berlin area also were attacked. It added:
 Last night strong bomber com- nlalld forces attacked objectives in Germany. The main attack was di- rected against the naval base at Kiel. Other objectiveS included tar. gets in the Berlin area, the indus trial center of Hamburg and the Port of Emden.

TO read that Professor Benno Bor-
zykowski had reported to a special
committee of experts on South
American industrial development
that he had found three new pain
controlling plants which had never
been used before by anyone ex-
ctpt Peruvian natives.
One Of these is known as the
"ayahuasca' plant. These various
plants are said to be quite as pow
erful in controlling pain as opium
and morphine. This, if true, is of
great value because the sources of
morphine are controlled by Japan
in the Orient and by Germany IN
the Balkans. American supplies
are gradually diminishing.
Obtaining New Drugs
The research illustrates n OF
the methods of obtaining new
drugs. Many of our most valuable
drugs, such as foxglove and stro-
phanthin, have been developed IN
just this way.
A physician finds that the peo-
pie of a certain district of a
foreign country are using a GER
tain plant for medicinal purposes
and he is induced to make a trial
of it and finds that it actually has
valuable properties which cannot
be duplicated by any drug known
to civilized medical practitioners.
Another way of developing
drugs is by the use of synthetic
chemistry. An example Of this is
the production Of u hypnotic
drugs. One of the first of these
was developed by Liebig when he
bubbled chlorine gas into alcohol
and obtained a new liquid which
ne called "chlorai."

Developing New Drugs

For many years, choral was
about the best hypnotic drug. But
it had dangerous potentialltics.
Choral is the kick in the famous
Knockout drops used to shang-
hal sailors. Besides being very
powerful to the point of being
dangerous, it was habit-forming.
Phenyl-hydrazine
The development of modern
hypnotics was the work Of Emil
Fischer, at the University of
Wurzburg. Fischer was M of the
greatest organic chemists who
ever lived. He did a great deal
of work on the chemistry of the
sugars and in doing so used a
chemical known as phenyl-hydra-
zine. In the course of his work,
he inhaled a good deal Of phenyl-
hydrazinc; after a good dose, he
went to sleep.
Fischer with the suggestion of
another physician, Josef o Mer-
ing. decided that a safer hypnotic
could be made. Finally he pro-
duced eighteen, all Of which pro-
