NO GAIN AND

BY RUTH TAYLOR

something really worth while to say, il
doesn't matter where in this country
he says it? If it is good, it will be

have not read Philip Wylie's excellent
column in the Miami Daily News
which has been reprinted all over the
country. In it he put his finger on the
essential weakness of argument of our
mutual friend, Mr.. Pegler.
Mr.. Pegler, you will recall, said
there wasn't any anti-Semitism in
America. Mr.. Wylie countered with
the fact that there was, and that an
anti-Semite was usually ti-CathOliC

New Russian Serum
May Lengthen Span
OF Life 10 $50 Years
BY HOWARD w. BLAKESLEE

Associated Press Science Editor.
NEW YORK, Feb. 21.-A Russian
originated serum which may ulti-
mately lengthen mans life span
possibly to $50 years-is described
in the American Review Of Soviet
Medicine.
DR.. Vladimir v. Lebedenko, Rus
sia's Red Cross representative in
America, is suggesting the 150-year
figure in public addresses.
There is nothing fantastic about
the serum nor in the way the Rus
slams hope 1t may work. The pur-
pose is simply to aid in restoring
to man his normal health and with
1t his normal life span, which many
scientists suggest has been short

Vice Admiral Aubrey w. Fitch of

mander, said today.
Il can't say when it will be

schedule"
Admiral Fitch expressed belief the
japanese would continue their costly
efforts to defend the pivotal New
Britain base until it becomes def
nltely unproftable Then they will
attempt to withdraw key personnel
and such vital equipment as can be
moved out
They'll leave the others to fight
as best they can, just as they left
their ground troops on Bougainville, ,"
the air commander declared at a

Admiral Fitch said it's almost un-
believable how many of his doWned
men have been rescued after battling
the japanese over Rabaul.
He reported that more than 80
per cent of the personnel forced to
land at sea have been picked up
and rescued. He said the total was
around 1900 men.
