BALTIMORE, May 26.-The dis
covery of a new compound for the
treatment of peptic ulcer and ex-
eessive gastric acidity has been an
nounced by John c. Krantz, jr.
professor of pharmacology at the
University of Maryland School OF
Medicine.
The new drug, discovered through
experimentation in the department
of pharmacology, was found to have
distinct advantages over the gener-
ally antacids, DR.. Krantz reported
The new compound is composed
of an amino acid called "glycine'
and aluminium hydroxide.
DR.. Krantz reported that one ad-
vantage was its promptness of "acid
naturalization, which often means
relief of pain and discomfort"

Senate May Not Act Until Fall.
1t may be four to six months
before the charter can be ratified by
some of the principal countries. For
example. Senator Conally, chairman
of the Senate Foreign Relations
Committee, is OF the opinion that
the charter will not be taken up in
the Senate until after the proposed
summer recess of Congress, which
would mean that consideration
probably would be postponed until
September British ratification may
be delayed also by the Parliament
tary election set for July S.
Secretary of State Stettinius' re-
turn from Washington has given
added impetus to the work of the
conference. At meeting of the
Big Five it was suggested that every
effort be made to wind up the meet
ing June 6.
Two large questions remaining are
the Yalta voting formula and
final decision on the trusteeship
chapter. And they are on their way
to final solution.
Technical experts of the Big Four
are framing a general interpretative
statement of the voting formula
designed to answer a series of %
questions propounded by a sub
committee. This statement first will
be examined by the official rep
resentatives of the Big Four. 1t will
be general statement, not an an
swer to each specific question in
detail. The committee in charge of
this part of the charter will not
meet again until Monday. The
understanding, however, is there will
be no change in the Yalta formula,
although the Interpretation may be
liberal.

substantial decreases in allotments
for the air forces and the ordnance
department, which together re-
ceived more than 40 per cent of all
the Army's funds this year.
Whether the Army will be able to
demobilize more men thar it orig

depend largely on developments OF
the next few months. Should Rus
sia enter the war against Japan,
they explained, this country pre-
sumably could use fewer men in the
Pacific.
They emphasized, however, that
Gen. Marshall did not discuss the
prospect of Russia fighting Japan.
They pointed out that any savings
from reduced personnel would be
offset largely by the cost of mus
tering-ou payments to the men dis
charged.
Gen. Marshall did not submit the
War Departments budget for the
coming year. That, committeeman
said, still is being revised.

1t was explained that another

far away. A crowd of Yanks were
watching 1t when the air-borne Japs
landed.
In the confusion they were able
to get started before the Americans

them.

The boy with me was hit in the arm
by shrapnel from a grenade.
"One Jap was shooting at me

The action lasted only about Is
minutes, but hunting down pos
sible survivors continued through
out the night. A number of SOL
diers and Marines were inspecting
ono damaged transport when q
Japanese rushed out and tossed q
grenade, injuring several Ameri-
cans. A dozen shots killed him.
Crash Crew Praised.
Marine 1t. Col. Leo Smith of Port
land, Oreg., said my crash crew
was the big man OF this raid. We
keep crash crews on "a hours and
this crew killed at least two Japs
and We could have cleaned up most
Of the rest with little help"
There were more dead Japanese
around Yontan this morning than
that area has yet seen in this cam
paign. The field was virtually un-
defended when captured March /.
I counted five badly mangled jap
anese bodies around one wrecked
plane. A mile away where another
bomber crashed were five more
burned bodies. That bomber had
hit a hill top dugout with four
Americans atop it and five inside.
The four on top were knocked
oil and suffered some burns from
sprayed gasoline. The five inside
were burned, two fatally. The leader
of the rescue crew which dug them
out worked until he collapsed.
One soldier said the Japanese
carried mines and explosive charges.
Some observers said they set OBJ

This is the first such attempt
