|U. s. SCIENTISTS
 BREAK JAPAN'S AGAR MONOPOLY

Ia Jolla, Cal, Feb. i7-CUP)- Robert II. Tschudy and Marston 0. Sargent. scientists from the Scripps Institute of OceanoSraphy here, after Q years search, have succeed ed in putting an enS to Japan's se- cret worldwide monopoly of agar, one of the most vital necessities for the maintenance of public health.
 Agar which is secured from cer. tain seaweeds, Is gelatinous sub. stance absolutely necessary for the testing of the purity of water and milk, for the diagnosing of typhoid, diphtheria, streptococcus, and sta. phylococcus infections, and for the growing of cultures in the creation of vaccines against bubonic plague, cholera, whooping cough and ty- phoid.
 At the start of the present war, 90 per cent of the worlds need for agar was under Japanese control and production. So vitally neces- Sary IS 1t for public health that the stocks existing in the United States were immediately placed under gov- ernmeI1t control.
 The irony in this quasi complete Japanese monopoly from an Amer ican point of view, lies in the fact that while Japan has large growths of the essential seaweed in her own waters, yet she was exploiting a number of secret agar beds of the GrNSak1a 0Np1a (Sn1tfaS,HAfo 0Aaak
 There, Japanese divers brought the seaweed to the surface, dried 1t and shipped 1t to Japan where the agar was extracted in commercial form and shipped back to the American market.
 The location of these secret Jap- anese beds of the California coast Is still unknown. .. .-.
 However, when the scientists from the scripps Institute were called into the situation they took a dif- ferent approach to the problem.
 Instead of trying to locate the Japanese beds they set out to find other types of seaweeds from which agar could be extracted.
 They now report the finding of four different kinds of seaweed, plentiful of the California coast, which will provide sufficient agar for the American needs.
 These four new types have been scientifically classified as Ptreocla. dia sp., Endocladia n1uriiata. Gi- gartina canalicuata and Gigartina Serrata,

Not the type Of executive who tries to do everything himself, Gen. Andrews selects his stan carefully, lays down broad poli- cies and sees, by frequent iI1spec- tions, tEat they are carried out. This policy of seeing for himself has taken him, at a conservative esti- mate, 100000 air miles since Pearl EEarbor. Which explains his btaf1's slogan: "Join Gen. Andrews and see the world.n
 HE KNOWS HIS PLANES
 His ability to delegate respon- sibility 50 effectively is partly due to his vast knowledge of planes and crews. A typical story concerns his approval of a. device to improve the effectiveness of fighter planes. First he thought the device irnprac- tical on small ships.
 A subordinate had worked out the system. Gen. Andrews took up a stock plane for a test hop hilnself, before olSaying the plan without flrSt-hand knowledge. M
 
 He keeps paper work at min ilnum and is noted for his brief memos and terse direct wires like: whats the score on this?"
 Men who have worked with Gen. Andrews say his greatest quality Is serenity-serenity, they say, that stems from an unusually happy home life. He has two sons in the Army and two daughters. His face Is relaxed and he never seems to rush. He understands people, too. eT'M SCARED, TOO"
 A young co-pilot recalls the time Gen. Andrews was in tight spot. The planes wings were iced and 1t was ''ceiling zero" all the way to the nearby field. The co-pilot began to shake. The General turned to him: "Youngster, believe you're scared" The co-pilot replied, "Yes, sir"
 "Well, I am, too." smiled the Gen. eral. The tension thus broken, they skinned through safely.
 The General is too modest to talk about himself. It's typical that when his stan prepared an official biography of him for the press on his arrival here, Andrews slasted it in half-''too floWery,' he said.

 Dear Sir:
 As spokesman for the patients and personnel of the 38th Station Hospital, U. 8. Army, I wish to exc press our thanks for the utility bags received from your chapter distributed to us on Christmas.
 We are in a section of England where very little opportunity is found to obtain these little items that are so essential to the daily life of the soldiers. The utility bags were filled in manner that maze some of the fellows express their surprise and thanks that there were people back home who understood enough of soldiers needs to be able to fill some of our needs 50 well. The sewing kits were more than welcome: we are becoming very efficient at mend. ing tkough 1t is by necessity rather than by choice for the most of us.
 Again I thank your chapter for myself. the. patients, and all the personnel of this hospital for your very kind remembranceS of your forces overseas. ~4<
 Respectfully yours,

 That was typical of Frank Max well Andrews, now Q three-star lieutenant general and new United States Commander in the European T1heater of Operations. Men who know him best invariably speak first of Andrews, the flyer: flyer who is so familiar with all Air Force planes that even today Ee hasn't special plane of his own, but picks up whatever is available when he wants to fly.
 General Andrews did not start as an aviator. Born in Nashville, Tenn, February 3, 1884, he went to West Point and was commissioned in the cavalry. It took another war with Germany to get him Into the air force in 1918.
 Once in the air corps, he became the leading disciple of American cir power-and became convinced, too, that the heavy long-range bomber must constitute the backbone of that power. It was he who approved plans for the first Flying Fortress. HE GETS AROUND
 Tn 1885 he was jumped from lieutenant colonel to brigadier- general and began that meteoric rise that has seen him successive ly head the the CHG air force, the Caribbean Defense Command. the United States Forces in the Middle East and that has now brought him here.
