Water Supply

Discussing the water supply, the report said that "the new city water supply is the only one which IS bacteriologicalIy safe since l inspected carefully the intake works of both the Benson and Erskine water supplies and found conclusive evidence again that neither of these supplies should be u'ed for human con- sumption without the protection of chlorination.
 Negotiations of the depart ment require that there shall be no physical connections between the distribution system of pub lie potable water supply and that of any other water supply unless the other water supply is safe and the interconnections are approved. Separation of he two systems by means of valve is not considered safe. The absence E of such interconnections must be assured before this office may make recommendations to the Surgeon General of the Pubic Health Service as to whether the Kodiak water supply may be used on vessels calling at your city.
 You are already familiar with the triple cross-connection which l discovered at the Frank NcConaghy cannery on the Err skiDe dock.

LOS ANGELES, Sept. 14.-Dr.
Anthony ]. Sale, assistant professor
of bacteriol6gy at the University Of
California at Los Angeles, says he
has discovered that a bacillus ex-
tract known as subtilin will kill
tuberculosis bacilli.
DR.. Sale, who announced the work
with subtilin after reporter called
to confirm reports of his efforts
along this line, stated:
I'VE have done only test tube work
so far, but subtilin has proven deadly
to tuberculosis germs in the test
tube"
The scientist said there are indi-
cations the extract will be relatively
nontoxic' for animals and humans.
He said work with infected animals
will start soon and if results are IA
forable experimental use with hu-
mans will be the next step.
"Subtilin is much like penicillin, 4"
said the bacteriologist, but it goes
further in this particular field.
Penicillin is not deadly to the
tuberculosis bacillus, but subtilin is.
1t is also fatal to other bacilli, in
cluding streptococcus, staphylococ-
Gus, pneumococcus and gonococcus. I"
DR.. Sale, who has been working
on the subtilin project for seven
months with research assistant,

Is derived from a bacterium called
bacillus subtilis, commonly known
as hay bacillus" which is found in

With three out of four men
now in the Army already as
sured of release by July /, mill
tary leaders held out the possi-
bility today of a still faster rate
of demobilization. -
The Senate Military Affairs CON-
mittee was advised by Maj. Gen. I.
H. Edwards, assistant chief of staff,
that estimates of occupation troops
needed in Japan may be scaled
down.
If so, this would permit reduc-
ton below the Army's planned
strength of 2,5Oo,000 by next July.
Gen. Edwards said general staff
officers now are discussing the mat
ter with Gen. Douglas Macarthur
and that the supreme commander
estimates are very fluid"
Any Change Downward.
ANY change probably would be
downward, he added.
The plans for an Army of 2,500,000
by midsummer of next year are
based on a division of troops in this
manner: In the Pacific, 100000; in
Europe and Atlantic bases, 500, 900,
and in the United States, 100000.
Maj. Gen. Stephen G. Henry, also
an assistant chief of staff, gave it as
his personal opinion that needs
would work out to fewer than $780,
900 troops.
The plans for reduction to that
figure contemplate release of about
100000 of the present Army Of
$3.50, 900, or about three out of every
four men. They call for induction,
meantime, of 100000 additional men.
The Army hopes also to enlist 300,-
900 volunteers, but the majority of
these may come from men already
in uniform.
Good Case for Army Seen.
Members Of the Senate group gen.
orally expressed satisfaction with
the Army's plans as outlined in
two days of testimony.
Senator O'Mahoney, Democrat, of
wyoming said he thought the hear
ings had cleared up many points for
the public. Senator Gurney, Repub-
lican, of South Dakota added that
he thought the Army had made a
good presentation"
Gen. Henry reported yesterday
that the Air and Service Forces are
setting up 145 temporary separa-
ton centers to speed the discharge
OF 258,000 men eligible for release
The Army later raised the number
of discharge centers to 155.
He also said that 100000 officers
already have been tagged" for re-
lease and 100000 others will be out
by July l..
One committee member still criti-
cal of Army policy was Senator
johnson, Democrat, of Colorado. In
a radio talk last night Senator
johnson proposed that the job of
policing Germany and Japan be left
to Europeans, China and Russia.
Observers Suggested.
The Coloradoan suggested that
posting of 10000 American observers
in the Axis countries was all this
country need do.
The Senate group intends to take
a look next week at the Navy's de-
mobilization program. 1t is to hea,
