Reports Results of
Penicillin Treatment
OF Diptheria

STOCKHOLM, Nov. 1-(By
airmaiD Penicillin treatment
against diphtheria has been given
by DR.. K. A. Melin of the Infec-
tious Diseases Hospital in Stock
holm with interesting results. Dur
ing the ten-day period the method
of local treatment was used on
some patients, a solution of $500
0. U. 'penicillin being sprayed into
their nasal and pharyngal cavities
three times a day. Later the dose
strength was doubled and the local
treatment was combined with in
lection therapy. Every third hour
during ten days a group of 10
patients were thus treated and out
of these eight proved quite free
from diphtheria germs. Although
the method is still in the expert
mental stage, DR.. Molin believes
that local treatment combined
with penicillin injections seems to
afford fairly effective remedy.

first was stricken about two
weeks ago and was removed to
the Naval Air Station Hospital.

his inspirational leadership and
for the link" he held over Army
In the three years he played

the three years he coached 1889,
1910 and 1871, Navy scored six

Wars End Raises
Pressure of Work In
Swedish Yards

Swedish shipyards have been
extra busy since the war ended in
Europe. Not only have some 80
ships built for Norwegian owners
during the war had to be checked
and trimmed for delivery, but
considerable number of Norwegian
and Swedish vessels, both war
damaged and in need of general
repairs, have arrived in Swedish
yards. Most of these have been in
Allied service all through the war
(Including vessels built during the
war, Swedish yards will have de-
livered one million tons dead
weight of shipping to Norwegian
owners by the end of 1947.)

Distribution Is Parcel BottLeneck

The flood of gift packages from
America is swapping Norwegian
postal authorities. That fact was
established when staff members of
Oslo's "Aftenposten' started out
to Investigate the report that
packages of food and clothing
from America were not being de-
livered. Here is what they found.
The packages are generally de-
layed for period in U. S. ports
awaiting shipping space, and then
when boats arrive in Norway one
after the other, war-weakened
distribution facilities are not equal
to the task. Oslo's parcel post
department has been forced to
rent one of the Norwegian Rail-
ways warehouses where thousands
of packages are now awaiting dis
tribution. On Monday, October %,
5000 sacks filled with gift pack
ages arrived at once while tired
workers were just beginning to
distribute mountains of gifts
which had arrived on the previous
ship. Packages must be distribu-
ted in turn.
One American sender, inquiring
as to the fate of packages shipped
in June was told that if they were
of parcel post size and had not
been delivered yet they had evil
IDENTIFY been lost en- route, for
packages now stored in Oslo S
Post Office go back only two to
three months. Packages exceed
ing the postal weight limit must
be shipped by freight, and their
distribution in Norway is natural
ly much slower and more difficult
than with smaller packages. Ev-
cry means is being used to speed
this distribution. as the need for
food and especially shoes and
clothing will be greatly alleviated
