H. M. Roland, superintendent
of county schools, revealed Thurs
day tentative plans by the Fed
eral government to construct two
temporary elementary school build
ings at Maffitt village housing pro-
iect at a total expenditure Of $115,-

Federal Works Agency engineers
have "defintely" approved plans
and specifications for white
school and Negro building, ne
said.
The need for the Negro build
ing has already been established, y
Mr.. Roland said, land the necessi-
tv for construction of the white
school is pending the registration
of white school children. If white
children can be placed in schools
elsewhere, it will not be necessary
to build new school for them. "
The superintendent explained the
schools will be entirely Federal
construction and Federal equip
ment."
The plans prepared by Leslie N.
Boney. architect, call for each to
be a one-story type of structure in
accordance with other buildings
at the war housing project. The
white school is expected to contain
eight rooms and the Negro, six
rooms.
On the assumption that the Fed
eral Works Agency approves plans
for construction of the two struc-
lures, Mr., Roland said they
won't be completed until after
Christmas.
The white school will be located

'New Drug For Wounds
Investigated By Doctors

PITTSBURGH, Sept. 9.-lR-The
possibility of preparing new va.
riety of synthetic chemical anti
septics for auxiliary use against
wound and other infections where
even the sulfa drugs fail-thus Of
fering a biological second front
against certain tgerms-was report
ed to the American Chemical So
ciety today.
DR.. Gustav ]. Martin, New York
biologist, said the possibility was
a nat~~. outgrowth of his dis
covcry of the secret of hitherto
little understood group of chemical
compounds which already h e
proved effective on the battlefield
by "pickling" wounds - that is,
hating infection until the patient
could be removed to a base hos
pital.
The British in North Africa, he
said. had found these chemicals
called acridines-to be successful
in the treatment of deep, burroW-
ing wounds where the sulfa drugs
were without effect, but up to now,
it has not been known how the
compounds actually accomplished
their mission in outWitting bac-
terra.
Discovery of the specific role
they play, he said, makes it pos

new page in the science of chemo-
therapy.
This is the science which began
with the magic bullets OF Paul
Erich against syphilis and which
reached dramatic heights with the

discovery of the sulfa drugs and,
most recently, penicillin.
DR.. Martin and DR.. c. Virginia
Fisher, both of Warner institute
for therapeutic research, found
that the acridines were similar to
the sulfa drugs in this respect:
They don't actually kill bacteria;
but they surround them and cut
off LIES processes long enough to
let the human body's natural in
fantrymen-the white blood cor
puscles-get in their killing blows.
But they found this difference:
Whereas the sulfa drugs act by
cutting off the food supply to the
germs-which comes from para
aminobenzoic acid present in body
tissues-the acridines work by cut
ting off their oxygen supply which
comes from certain engines IN
the body.
In other words, while the sulfas
tend to starve the bacteria to the
point where they are easy prey
for the bodys natural defenders,
the acridines tend to asphixiate
them. -.
But the scientists said that IT
there is much para-aminobenzoic
acid present in the field of infec-
ton, the sulfa drugs are useless.
Therefore. in such cases, the aux
iliary use of the acridines comes

While Italy's customary coal re.

spoke of the Italian needs as hav-
ing IAN adverse effect on the do

Ickes feels that a federal Or

it might be better if a longer week
