Free Access to News

NEW YORK, April 25.
(UP)-Competitive equality
in access to news and a fair
and equal status for all news agen-
cies in all countries is a goal to
reach for in the peace treaty, Hugh
Baillie, president of the United
Press, said Tuesday at the annual
meeting of UP. executives.
Addressing officers and Depart
ment heads of the news service in
New York for the convention of
kale American Newspaper Publishers
association, Baillie described the
policies which will guide the dis
tribution of world news after the
war.
"At this time" he said, I'VE are
giving great deal of thought TO
the restoration of our position after
the war throughout the world as the
leading American news agency in
the foreign field.
TO GIVE ACCURATE NEWS
I have heard various suggestions
as to how the American news agen-
cies should go about distributing
their news abroad when the war is
over. AS for the United Press, we
intend to proceed after the war
just as we did before, following
methods which in our case worked
out very successfully. In this way
accurate, unbiased news was dis
tributed to the world by the United
Press.
"Of course a world free press is
highly desirable, but whether 1t
can be achieved by inserting
clause in the peace treaty is some
thing that remains to be seen. What
we should reach for in the peace

NEW YORK - W.D - Peni-
cillin production has been speed
ed up by "a hours time through
a cooking-by-radio process that
has replaced a freeze-drying
method.
According to Radio Corp. of
America, which has perfected
the new system. heat generated
by radio currents now can ac-
complish in 80 minutes what II
took a freeze-dehydrator "a
hours. The electronic method
of drying the matchmaking
drug is also far cheaper. 1t was
said.
Dehydration is vital to peni-
cillin production as a bulk re-
Queer. After penicillin is grown
and purified, approximately 90
per cent of the water Is remov-
ed. increasing the potency Of the
drug from 10000 units a cubic
centimeter to 100000 units.
Freeze-drying still will be used
to powder the drug in ampoules
or walls for shipment.

There are % German prisoners

It's way back from France. They
seem little interested in their

There are Westphalians, Ba-

SLAMS and SaXons among them.
Their ages vary from about II
10 AS. The oldest is a gaunt Ba-

who are Surly and pay no atten-

When the war began many of

the outcome of the war began to
spread when Russia was attack
