Ada Youth Sensation
At Science Exhibit

So outstanding was an Ada high
school boys performance at the phys
les exhibition at the Junior Academy
of Science exhibition at Case School
of Applied Science, in Cleveland,
that one of the professors, rather
than have the young man walk or
hitch hike 160 miles back to Ada,
drove him home in his personal auto
mobile
The youth was William Trow-
bridge who won first place in the
miscellaneous biology division. Trow-
bridge was SO anxious to participate
in the exhibition that he hitchhiked
the 160 miles from Ada to Cleveland
to deliver a 45-minute talk on Duct
less Glands"
His talk was taken from notes and
observation of experiments of his
own on grass frogs and colony of
10 white rats.

Trade Quarantine
Held Essential

The role of American non
belligerency calls for unified control
of every phase of foreign trade by
means Of a "hemispheric quarantine"
for the complete economic strang-
ulatiOn" of the axis countries. Leo
NJ. Cherne, writer and economist,
declared last night in an address at
the Georgetown University school
of foreign service.
Such a quarantine to be fully
effective, he warned, must not only
keep munitions and stragetc ma
terialS from reaching Germany but
also must insure an adequate supply
of these essentials for our own de-
fense production and aid to Britain.
Mr.. Cherne. who is executive secre-
tary of Research Institute of Amer
lea. spoke at the re-opening of the
course on industrial mobilization
before the schools seminar in war
economic problems.
The frank acceptance Of the
status of non-belligerency'' by the
United States, Mr.. Cherne said,
pushes the economic warfare into
the spotlight. In an EZRA of blitz-
kreig and blitz diplomacy" he de-
clared. more effective measures than
the old complicated system of tariff
barriers is needed in waging sue
cessful economic warfare.
Dr.. William S. Culbertson, former
American Ambassador to Chile on
the Georgetown faculty, is in charge
of the industrial mobilization course
which the Foreign Service School
instituted last fall with the CO.
operation of the Army Industrial
College.
