handicaps.
Another new benefit of penicillin
is great shortening of illness,
both acute and chronic. DR.. Keefer
emphasized this speed-up, and DR..
Allen O. Whipple, Columbia Uni.
versity, gave an example where
among 100 men treated for in
juries the saving of working time
was equivalent to many years.
DR.. Whipple said that in these
100 men pain was almost wholly
prevented by penicillin treatment,
in sharp contrast to another 100 in.
jured persons whose wounds with
out penicillin were quite painful.
In all cases the penicillin-treated
wounds healed faster.
AS result of several thousand
cases, DR.. Keefer said, the limi-
tations of penicillin are now well
defined.
It is the best remedy for COMO
coccus, meningococcus and staphy-
lococcus and good for some of the
streptococci and pneumonococci. 1t
is good for tetanus, gas gangrene,
dyptheria, some of the pneumonias,
and the large series of infections
caused by the other germs named
1t is not useful for flu, typhoid
and paratyphoid fevers, tularemia,
bubonic plague, cholera, whooping
cough and tuberculosis, nor any
known virus diseases.
When the germs it ordinarily
cures get into heart valves, peni-
cillin loses most of its curative
powers.

CHICAGO, Nov. 20 (ANP)-
Charting a new course in industrial

convention of the Congress Of Indus

cago's Stevens hotel adopted reso-
lutions recommending that all CIO
unions "seek the incorporation into

a provision that no person seeking
employment shall be Disseminated
against because of race, creed, color
or place of origin"
This resolution followed report

stated that through the National

the unnamed soldier was first
charged with an attempt to rape a
white woman; that in making the
arrest white police officers, anxious
to release their anti-Negro feelings,
administered a thoroughly vicious
attack on the Negro soldier by beat
ing him numerically about the
head with blunt instruments, not
caring to investigate the charges.
The trial judge, the investigation
revealed, dismissed the attempted
rape charge for lack of evidence but
assuaged the arresting officers
feelings by sentencing the badly
wounded soldier to serve 32 days on
the road gang. Police then rushed
the Negro soldier to the Columbus
City hospital for emergency treat
ment and to the chain gang where
he remained without further medi-
cal care until his release.
An army hospital report stated
that "this soldier showed many
healed decorations Of the scalp. He
was depressed, tense, fearful and
complained that the headaches were
SO severe as to make it impossible
for him to remain on duty" the re-
port added.

IL hours a day and seven days a
week. They have been strafed doz-
