Churchill Says Reich
Will Fall In Summer

not failed US. j. it would be mad
ness indeed to cast away the IN
creased food production which mas
been achieved in the war. i. ag-
riculture therefore assumes
place in tise forefront of postwar
policy
In the field of domestic politics,
Churchill shocked many OF his
party colleagues by rejecting the
thesis that an all-conservative gov
eminent was the best for the coun--
try.
He announced that if the pres
ent coalition should be ended be-
fore the general election and ne
was asked to form a new govern
ment, he would invite 'not only
conservatives but men of good will
of any party or no party who are
willing TO serve and thus invest
our administration with a national
character And if the verdict OF
the nation should still leave us re-
sponsible, the government after
the election will be further reform
ed with the sole desire of rallying
the strongest available to carry our
cause to final victory and peace"

Sterilization Leader
Opposes Relaxation
OF Wage, Price Rules

WASHINGTON, March 15.-(P-
Economic Stabilizer William H.
Davis, who faces soon a decision
on fringe wage demands, took
a stand today against easing price
or wage controls.
Davis, hardening to his Maine
coast background, declared that
no one trying to pilot an anti-in-
flation economy would '1et 60 of
the wheel heading into a squall. :"
He stated his philosophy in gen.
eral metaphor, mentioning ''the
swirling currents of $500, 900, OO0,-
900 war economy" and the need
of being "doubly alert in this
eleventh hour to guard against the
tragic evils of inflation.''-

PeniciIIin DiseoVerer
Tells How He Found
Drug by Chance

1t was by chance-and an an
quisitive mind-that penicillin, the
wonder drug" which is healing
thousands of soldiers and civilians
today, was found, an audience of
Washington doctors was told last
night.
The man who told them should
know-he was the one who first saw
the possibilities of the mold extract
in effecting cures.
Sir Alexander Fleming, British
scientist and penicillin discoverer
told his audience how, in 1928, he
had been working with bacteria
which cause infections such as boils
and sores. Several times his bac-
terra plates became nodded from
the air. Instead of throwing them
away and beginning anew, he be-
gan to watch what happened-and
noticed that the bacteria which
came in contact with the mold were
dissolved.
This was the beginning. 1t took
years of work and study to perfect
the extract from the mold which SC
successfully fought the bacteria.
Sir Alexander, after describing the
development of the drug and its
uses, gave his audience two warn
ings:
First, he said, penicillin should be
used only against organisms which
are susceptible to it. Some are not
and on them it will have no effect
he said
Second, when penicillin is admin
istered it must be given in quantity
sufficient to really destroy bacteria
If not, the organism which receives
it will become acclimated, or inn
mune to the drug This acclimation
can spread to other organisms, and
gradual immunity can develop
which would keep the drug from
performing its purpose.
The meeting, sponsored by the
Medical Society of the District, was
held at the society headquarters,
1718 M street NV.

Teachers Pay
Bill Due TOGO
toulouse Today
Action Before Summer
Adjournment Sought
By District Committee

The District teachers pay bill i:
expected to be reported favorab,y
to the House today for action befo.i
summer adjournment, If possible.
Chairman Randolph of the Houst
District Committee scheduled full
committee meeting this morning tc
consider the bill, reported favorably
yesterday afternoon by the Educa-
ton and Fiscal Subcommittees. He
said he expected the full committee
to report the measure favorably and
send it immediately to the floor.
Mr.. Randolph said he is "hope-
full" for action before summer ad-
journment. u
Affects 2,100.
The measure, providing $500 to
$4,000 increases for school employees,
was approved by the subcommittee
mainly as written. The only major
amendment assures that about 2,100
teachers now at the top of their
grades will receive a 500 raise i'm
mediately. The original language
gave them no raise for year.
Chairman Feighan of the Educa-
ton Subcommittee scheduled brief
meeting of the education and fiscal
groups just before the. full commit
tee meeting today to consider inclu-
sion of language assuring that
teacher tenure granted by Congress
in 1906 is not changed by new legis-
lation. Assistant Corporation Coun-
sci Vernon West was asked to pre-
pare the clause.
Mr.. Feighan said the subcom-
mittees believe the tenure provisions
should be rewritten completely at
some future date to afford greater
protection" to teachers.
Adds Provision.
The subcommittee added to the
bill a provision for crediting fac
tory experience as a qualification
for vocational teachers. The group
struck from the bill a new provision
that administrators returning to
teaching ranks must receive the
highest teaching salary. New lang
uage providing automatic approval
of voluntary teacher transfer from
higher to a lower salary grade
also was omitted.
These cases will be referred to
the CorHroller Generals Office in
stead of being handled administra-
lively as planned under the original
bill, school officers said.
The subcommittee yesterday con-
suited with Robert L. Haycock,
superintendent of schools; A. W.
Heinmiller, school budget officer,
and Mr.. West. Miss Selma Borch-
ardt, legislative chairman of the
Washington Teachers Union, also
