Training SeleCteeS at home,
where they could continue in eS-
sential war work until the Army
needs them for service at the
front, was suggested to the Sen
ate Military Affairs Committee
today as a new solution to the
manpoWer problem, by Brig Gen.
Albert l., Cox,
Gen Cox, commanding officer Of
the District Militia now on the in
active list, made the proposal as the
Senate prepared to vote this after
noon on whether to defer essential
farm workers and fathers who were
married before the attack on Pearl
Harbor
Gen Cox pointed out that in the
last eight years many millions were
spent to build National Guard
armories throughout the country
and predicted that by using those
facilities new selectees could be
given their preliminary training
without taking them Immediately
In peace times National Guards
men drilled one night week and
had tWo-Week encampment in the
summer.
With the country in a desperate
war like this" he continued, the
drilllngs could be increased to two
or three nights a week with an over
night hike included at week ends.
Under such a program, he said,
raw civilians could be made into
acceptable soldiers within three
months, except for the hardening
process the Army could give them
lust before they are needed for over
seas service.
Contending it is not necessary to
keep men in training camps in this
country for two or more rea3t. as
some have been kept Gen. Cox said,

Chinese Doubt Hupeh Drive
Will Imperi| Chungking

BY the Associated Press
CHUNGKING, March l2-Chung-
king authorities expressed belief to-
day that the japanese drive in
Hupeh Province is designed to safe
guard Japanese communications on
the Yangtse River and in no way
imperils Chungking some $50 miles
distant.
The japanese are particularly in
terested in 100-mile stretch of the
river beyond Yochow because that
is the enemy supply line to Ichang

Part ri ime Army raining Urged
By Gen. Cox in Worker Crisis

A soldier can grow stale with too
much training, Just as can foot
ball player or other athletes"
With the submarine menace still
serious, he argued, there is a limit
to the number of men who can be
transported to battle fronts this
year, and emphasized that the food
and supplies they could help pro-
duce while training in their home
communities would be an important
factor in the war.
Gen. Cox emphasized he was not
questioning the goal set by military
leaders as to the size Of the armed
forces, On the contrary, he said, he
was glad to read that their view on
the number of men to be called ap-
pears to have prevailed.

Psnicillin a Fungus

Penlcllln ct is pronounced, !
understand, as II you were going
to say pencil and had a stutterl,
to make a brief summary OF its
status, is a mold, or fungus. II is
used much as the sulfa drugs are
used to stop the growth Of germs
aud infection IN the body, only the
germs il Affects are different from
those against which the sulfa
drugs are so effective. 1t is espe
,ally good on wounds and burns.
Var wounds treated in a Utah
army hospital Rave shown phenom-
enally good results.
Penicillin is not really a brand
new drug. In 1929 an English
scientist, DR.. A. Fleming, was
working in mis- laboratory with cul-
lures Of staphylococcus, the germ
that often causes blood poisoning
sad wound infections. Re was
growing it on bouillon, much like
what you use for soup, and he
found on the surface of some
OF the cultures 4 mold-exactly
the same as the little mold you
find on damp bread. But he made
the further discovery that in these
cultures when the penicillin had
formed, all the staphylococclc
germs in the broth had died of,
or failed to grow.
That is the simple idea that was
taken up and rediscovered just
this year, giving US n new germi-
eide.
Uses for Germicide
1t differs somewhat from the
suha drugs in that it has TO be
given in the vein and continuously
for several hours or days.
But it works also by direct ap-
plication. At the Glasgow inhrm-
AIRY a number Of severe burns were
successfully treated by applying
penicillin cream to the wound. 1t
also works sometimes when the
sulfa Drugs fail.
The list Of diseases in which it
has proved successful, or even life
saving, are bone infection (osteo-
myelitis), blood poisoning, menin-
gifts, pneumonia, gas gasgrene--
the infection which used TO kill so
many wounded soldiers, milk leg
(cellulitis), carbuncles, burns and
ali manner Of infected wounds.
This is not a complete list, but
it gives an idea of what the field
fol this new wonder worker is.

whether the injection treatment

Answer: There are differences
OF opinion. There are Just as
many dangers to the injection
treatment and occurrences as to
the operative treatment. Besides
with the injection treatment you
are working in the dark. | have
always been against the injection
treatment for that reason. 1t is
