MUCH PENICILLIN
ARRIVES AT JWM

Ten million units of penicillin.
the drug that doctors say will
cure many OF the ailments potent
sulpha drugs will not, has arrived
at James Walker Memorial hos
pital, and shortly will be put into
use.
This is the first shipment to the
city of penicillin since the War
Production Board agreed to re-
lease the medicine for civilian
purposes.
Five million additional units are
expected here within few days.
James Walker Memorials future
monthly allotments will depend
upon local requirements and the
available supply.
The amount received here is the
equivalent of $50 walls of the dry
powder, substance extracted
from the mold. The amount used
per individual per treatment var
les, Of course, with the physical
ailment being doctored.
Local hospital authorities reveal
ed yesterday that no plan has
yet been developed for distribu-
ton of the drug, but that such a
plan must be set up Immediately.
The walls of power came re-
plete with directions for use. The
powder must be mixed with sterih
water, or some other specified
LIQUID, according to the prescribed
treatment.
WPB has assigned the work OF
distributing penicillin to special
penicillin control board. A number
of other North Carolina hospitals
have also been designated as dis
tribution depots.
While this is the first time Will
mington has been allotted a supply
of the miracle drug, Mrs. M. F.
Buckley of GIT Mercer avenue has
reported to the Star-News that she
personally owes her life to tho
medicine.
Mrs. Buckley, the wife of
serviceman, secured quantity OF
penicillin through the government
in Washington, when it became
apparent that a succession Of op-
erations for osteomyelitis would
not cure the bone disease.
Mrs. Buckley received the medi-
cine and took the treatments at
the hospital in Camp Lejeune. She
was in the hospital for three weeks
last February. Today, she says.
she is a well woman: the leg wound
has healed PERFECTLY.

should be possible 10 eliminate
malaria from every civilized
country after the war by means
of the synthetic Quinine substi-
tute, Quinacrine (Atabrine), and
by experience gained in treating
the armed forces, the journal OF
the American medical associa-
ton said today.
The journal made this COM
ment on an official report that
Quinacrine "has proved to have
all the anti-malarial properties
ascribed to Quinine' and that
large production Of Qui-
nine lis not now considered d
matter of importance for treat
ing army and navy personnel.
The report, published in the
journal, was made by the Ma
tional Research Council S board
for the coordination of malarial
studies.
"The postwar world, with the
knowledge now available about
this drug and on methods OF
malarial prevention, should be
able to eliminate malaria from
every civilized nation" the jour
nal said.
THAT would be, indeed, a bles-
sing derived from the most de-.
structive and costly war the
world has ever known.
The report said military use of
Quinacrine has shown that it
effectively suppresses malaria
during and after exposure to in
fected mosquitoes, without dan
ger to the individual.

WASHINGTON. Aug, s. (R
- Southerners have shouted
loudest about white suprema'
cy" over Negroes but there is
plenty of evidence TO show that
doctrine is practised widely in
the rest of the country.
The strike of Philadelphia
transit workers against hiring
of Negro drivers by the trans
portation company there follow
ed bitter complaints of outright
discrimination in that northern
city. !
This tells some of the story:
The Fair Employment Prac-
tise Committee (FEPC) has
pending about 2,l1l complaints
of racial discrimination.
The FEPC was created to
prevent discrimination on racial
or religious grounds in war in
dustries and thus, its advocates
argued, make the best use OF the
nations manpower.
OF the total of all COM
plants, SCI are in the South.
The remaining 1850 complaints
have been made from the rest OF
the country.
OFFICIAL COMMENT
FEPC officials say:
Those figures don't mean
that those are all the cases OF
discrimination occurring either
in the South or the rest OF the
country.
actual discrimination may
be far greater but we report
only the complaints received.
'In the North, particularly,
complaints of discrimination
against Negroes are apt to be
more numerous for two rea-
sons:
First, there are more Negro
organizations in the North and
they are active against discrimi-
nation. Second, there are more
war industries in the North and
the FEPC handles only cases OF
discrimination in war jobs"
Philadelphia is not the only
city where there have been pro-
tests against proposals to pro-
mote Negroes to jobs as bus
drivers or as street car motor
men and conductors.

 The men fighting for America in all of the worlds climes desire thing above all others-to return when the is done to a nation in which there will be jobs and opportunity to live happy and pros porous life
 They want to come back here and make and sell our automobiles, design and construct wash ing machines, skyscrapers into the peaceful skies They don't want to come back to sell apples street corners, to live the niggardy benefi- cience of Federal dole
 No scheme of economic planning will quite complish their ambition It is business of passing laws or authorizing future appropriations. The thing to do is some of the wealth that is gorgng the channels of commerce today-save it until the boys come home and can have share in earning it. And the ideal way to save it is in War Bonds.
 When you buy War Bond, you not only doing yourself and your nation good turn and per forming very necessary service, but you giving the men now off fighting for you better chance to come back to nation in which they get jobs and enjoy economic security and prosperity Perhaps when your War Bonds mature you will buy new automobile, or clothing, or house-and when you do you will be creating job in more sound than any government could create it. for not one but number of men home from the The money you spend now for unnecessary articles cheats them in way of their chance to earn it. f}
 Probably you before thought of War Bond sales in this light It is text being used in talks to War Bond saesmen civic clubs and other organiza tions by John J Rowe, the indefatgabe chairman for Hamilton County of the War Finance Committee in Ohio And, in the parlance. it's good slant on why we should put every available dollar into War Bonds

Note The big profits in textiles these days are in high-priced lux ury goods, with the result that workers overalls, shirts, etc, have almost disappeared How lush pro- fits are is illustrated by Loves own salary. Dollar-a-yea man for the Government, he got salary of S94,000 from his own firm in 194l, and S196,000 in 1942. The tremen- dous increase in 1942 was due to the fact that he was paid three percent of his firms profits.

only POO miles and have taken only BIT Jap prisoners
 ITO Japan this is a life and death struggle-the Japs have put all their eggs into one basket and know it By fair foul they going to fight it through"
 We believe this is carrying the fight against optimism a little too far. Japan is not the victor She cannot be the victor until the opponent she has attacked is licked. And America is by means licked The Japs have made gains for long time They are trying hold what they have until America is tired of fighting But before America is tired of fighting, our troops will be in Tokyo.
 It is silly also to believe that America is trying to win this war in the Pacific by slow recapture of every inch of land the Japs seized at the beginning of the fight.
 Romulo is correct, however, in stating that Amer jeans are not familiar with the Jap as an enemy which follows rules as far warfare is concerned no civilized rules Withholding from publication of such juicy details as the treatment of American prisoners by the Nppons by Government was mainly responsible for this lack of knowledge
