Penicillin
(New York Tinles)


 It has been said that it takes ten years to intro duce new medical discovery into textbook and ten more to expunge it after it has been superseded That is not the story of penicillin, new wonder working germ-kler which is obtained from cheese mold It is true that Prof Alexander Fleming of the University of London discovered the properties of penicin in 1929 not until 1880 that Prof Howard Florey and his collaborators of Oxford had isolated enough to test it cnicaly and to establish its remarkable properties No doubt it was the war that heightened interest in the discovery At any rate, peniciln has been hailed by physicians with even more praise than the sulfa drugs received, and new medical term has passed into the vernacuar.
 Unfortunately it is not easy to obtain enough penic in the quantities required for general medical use A yield of single gram mere pinch, from about twenty quarts of culture fluid is regarded as high Sixteen pharmaceutical houses have been doing their best with the encouragement of the Office Of Scientific Research and Development to obtain enough penicillin for the Army Nine have now been author zed by the War Production Board to proceed with what is nomentarily regarded arge-scale cultivation
 What we have here is triumph of accident and shrewd observation. Fleming had noted that when mold was cultivated glass plate there was always sterile aura and that around the aura millions Of bacteria fourished That telltale aura spurred re- search with the result that agent was discovered which is apparently able preform miracles in deal ing with infections that resist even the sufa drugs The mortality from infected wounds and burns in this war is already low that military surgeons justly boast of it. It will be still lower when more penicillin becomes available.
 But what is it in the mold that is so effective? There is no answer as yet To grow molds and handle them in the laboratory requires much space and much time If the active chemical can be isolated, the chemist can proceed with synthess and thus dispense with mold growing entirely. That is the next step. When is taken, the price of penicin will come down and the general practitioner will be provided with the means of treating boils infections of bone marrow and what is called blood poisoning with new ef- ficiency All this must make many of us wonder how many discoveries escaped us because there were no Flemings on hand.

AFTER THREE YEARS

It was just three years ago today that announce ments from Berlin Rome and Tokyo heralded the signing of l0-year military pact between Germany, Italy and Japan.
 The move was clearly aimed at the United States and officials of all three Axis powers issued notice that the alliance was warning to the United States that what was happening in Europe and in the Far East was none of our business.
 Hitler said the pact was hands off warning to the United States against military participation either in Europe or the Far East
 Naz Foreign Minister Won Ribbentrop declared that the pact was alliance of three of the most powerful nations in the world and any nation that intends to mix in joint affairs will have to meet the compact power of three united nations of some 25O 900 900 people"
 England and Germany already were at war when this alliance was formed Just shortly before this Germany and Russia had signed a non-aggression pact
 The move was obviously aimed at soaring the United States from continuing any form of aid to England.
 The pact said in so many words: Russia and the Axis have agreed to remain on peaceful terms II the United States enters the against Germany Japan Italy and Germany will line up against Britain ano the United States.
 The announcement of this pact was followed oS yelled hints that Germany would use gas in wariare

ITO offset the cool attitude of the Government of India, the American Mission has received us with a helpfulness and kindliness which has exceeded expectations we are confident that despite all this we can manage fairly well, although patience and circumspection will be necessary"
 NOTE-Previous Roosevelt emis- saries to India had reported sim liar suspicion on the part of Brit ish big business, especially toward American ideas of greater home rule for India. Ambassador Phil lips, Minister Johnson and White House Secretary Currie all seemed agreed that Indian troops would not do much real fighting in Bur ma unless they had a greater stake in the Four Freedoms to fight for

if need be, other propaganda aimed at frightening the United States into strict neutraity-until the Axis could defeat Britain and decided to take the United States.
 This pact was directed as threat against the United States about year after the Germans had signed aggression treaty with Russia in August 1939 France already had surrendered to the Germans Japan was ready to attack the United States.
 What tipped the whole thing the invasion of Russia by Germany less than year laterin June of 1941.
 Today, three years after the signing of the pact, the Rome Berlin Tokyo tripod is shaky The Italian leg has collapsed and the widely separated Berlin Tokyo legs stand against the full might of the United Nations.

INDIA AND U. s.

Despite the Churchill vislt ana the impending campaign in Burma, conditions inside India still remaln one sore spot where Anglo-Amerl- can relations, frank and friendly as they are, could stand some clean ing up.
 All of the Presidents special ad- yisers have brought home more or less the same reports. They ln- clude: Laughlin Currie, member of the White House staff; ex-Under- secretary of War Louis Johnson; Special Ambassador Billy Phillips.
 Latest evidence of Indian sore spots is report to Leo Crowley, new Economic Warfare Administrator from his New Delhi representative, John Fischer. who writes:
 The Government of India, the British Army. and many Indian businessmen view the opening of an DEW eEconomic Warfare) of flee here with frank and deep rooted suspicion. This suspicion is not directed at us alone; it falls on all American representatives in India.
 "The American Mission was es- tablished here in 194l in the face of considerable reluctance on the part of the Government of India. lPreviously the United States had not been permitted even con sulate in New DelhiD The owl OSS and even Lend-Lease repre- sentatives have told us that they have been received here with open misgivings-and in the case Of the first two agencies, sometimes with hostility. Before our arrival, the Government of India raised num- Der of questions regarding our mis- sion with the American Mission.

HOROSCOPE "The stars incline
 bat do rot c0nepeP
TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 2s

TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 28
 Benefic aspects rule today which should be reassuring in reports from wartorn areas. Women are well dl- rected by the stars while this con- figuration prevails.
 HEART AND HOME: Girls may expect long delayed love letters to- day which is most suspicious for romance It is a lucky date for signing contracts or leases. Act resses, musicians and artists who entertain the public should benefit, because audiences will be unusually responsive. Entertainment will be sought as escape from consciousness of war anxieties and apprehensions. Housewives should cultivate ways of making light all domestic tasks, be- cause there will be few houSework- CTS in the future, at least until post war immigrants seek the new world. Resumption of manufacture oi labor-saving devices for the home is foretold for an early date.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Electron- ics will cause the establishment ot many factories as soon as materials and men are released from war ser vice, astrologers forecast. Miracles in invention and scientific research will open the path for new indus tries and will transform the lives of Americans as much as the radio ana the telephone changed existence in the past. All the signs appear to presage extension of prosperity in- stead of depression when peace is attained and Government contracts are ended.
 NATIONAL ISSUES: Compul- sory attendance at school has pre- vented the spread of child laboi which during summer months was a national problem. Public demand for strict measures to prevent con- tinuance of hard work by boys and girls will continue under favorable planetary influences which reveal the real value of the children to a nation. Of all our resources none are so indispensable as the child ren, who are really the nation of tomorrow, the seers point out, and they emphasize the disgrace of any form of ill-treatment or neglect. <.
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS4 Revolutionary influences may be ac- tive in many countries at this time, owing to the conjunction of Mars and Uranus in the tenth. Hungary and parts of Prussia may be affect cd as well as other countries not yet liberated from Nazi thralldom Malefics will exercise power in many parts of the world. where crime will add to the sufferings of subjugated peoples. The stars today promise progress toward final victory.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of success ir whatever engages chief attention Business transactions should be made with caution.
 Children born on this day prob. ably will be charming in personal lty and intellectually clever. Love affairs may be many and not al. ways fortunate.

(By Associated Press)

The Mose ow radio quotes Stock holm dispatch saying neutral cor respondents were amazed at the unusual honors accorded Propagan- da Minister Paul Joseph Goebbels on the occasion of his speech to the German people last Thursday.
 The report added that the Swed- ish newspapers emphasized Geob- bels' steady rise to Germany's first man" since the Axis defeat at Stall ingrad.
 The broadcast, which the Asso- ciated Press recorded, said the "Fuehrer's March" and the "Nazi Anthem were played twice during the ceremonies in the Sportspalast in Berlin as Goebbels told the Ger mans what he called the "unvarn- ished truth" about the winter bat ties in Russia.
 Hitler. the report said, remained in the shadow under the pretext of fatigue and excessive cares and labors.'

We aren't being asked to burn our homes and destroy everything we own. Please God, we never will be.
 But we gre being asked to join the Payroll Savings Plan and put at least lo9S of our earnings into War Bonds! We're being asked-not tola- to loan money-not gipe it! And to loan this money at a good rate of interest and for good reasons! We're being asked to buy War Bonds to help win the war-to provide nest egg for the future-to provide peacetime jobs and peace time goods and generally decent world that the fellows who doing the fighting come back to.
 That's oar job. And it's a job that won't be done until every mothers of us is buying bonds until it hurts.
 There are right now, still people who ought to be buying War Bonds through the Payroll Savings Plan-and aren't.
 Right now, while some of the people in the Payroll Savings Plan setting aside more than 1O%-a lot of others investing less.

Meet Mrs. Petrov, citizen of the Soviet Union: When the Nazi Panzer Divisions approached the small Petrov farm in the Ukraine, she knew what to do.
 The wheat, so near to harvest time, went up in flames The potatoes, stored in the cellar, were soaked with kerosene. The jars of fruits and preserves were smashed, and the COW, which had given her children so many quarts of pre- cious milk, was shot.
 After piling her two young children, a few blan- kets and some food on the farm cart Mrs. Petrov did one more thing She went back to the house where she and her husband had been so happy =. where they had worked so hard to make home for their family-and applied the torch. Now, everybody in this country knows that Americans are patriotic-as capable of sacri- fce-as grimly determined to beat Hitler as the Russians or anybody else earth. But-by the Lord Harry-do have to wait till Nazi tank comes rolling up the before we brore it!

 A Navy spokesman said no de- tails of the attacks have reached here yet
 He described the dead and miss ing as mostly members of the Army, Navy, Marine Corps and Coast Guard The civilians are assumed to be technicians or other war workers.
 All those aboard except the crew men were travelling as passengers.
 The spokesman said the ships were not Army or Navy transports in the strict sense of the term in that they were not actually oper- ated by either of the services.
 He said he was unable to say whether the vessels were travelling in a convoy although this seemed probable because most North At lantic shipping is now organized on a convoy basis.
