The Waterbury Democrat., 1945-03-24

There seems to be feeling among local officials that Water bury's pension reserves were geared a bit too high by the commission and the actuary who surveyed the local employe group. Of interest at this time, perhaps, is the report of the City Employes' Retirement Fund of New Haven. Its assets are $1,O0O, 900 and cover all reserve re- quirements, so it's actuary reports Most of the money is invested in government bonds and a good re- turn is indicated In 1945, the city will contribute $125,710 as it's share of annual costs, exclusive of admin istration.
 Whoever gets elected mayor in Danbury next week will enjoy double benefits. The legislature has just approved bill raising the salary of the mayor in Dan- bury from $500 to 5000. Subject to approval of the common cOunS ell the increase Is effective when the new mayor starts his term. And by all the signs and pOrtents, the Democrats seem fairly certain of returning Mayor William J. Hannah to office at next weeks polling.
 Director of Finance Robert Dutf. of Hartford, vice-president of th' Municipal Finance Officers Assn of Connecticut, reported this pas week that a balance of $450,0OO a the close of the fiscal year was an ticipated. Enough surplus can b transferred to its postwar planning fund to raise it to $1,000,OOO. II addition Hartford is going to us' $25O 600 of surplus to finance it 1945 budget. Bridgeport's corpora ton counsel, Harry w. Schwart suggests that 5-man commission be named by the legislature to de velop uniform charter forms 10 adoption by communities. The idei is to eliminate endless charte amendment requests at every legis lative session. Not bad idea!

KICKOFF AND PASS RULES CHANGES TO
 BE RECOMMENDED

COLUMBUS, Jan 15-The rules committee of the National College Football A sociat ion voted to recommend five major changes in the collegiate gridiron code, two of prime importance being proposals to prohibit the out-of bounds kick off and to permit forward passing anywhere behind the line Of scrim- mage
 The coaches suggestions will be presented by the rules committee to the National Collegiate Athletic Association when it meets in sev- eral weeks.
 Eastern colleges operated during the past season with the proposed kickoff and pass rules. Under the proposed rule for the kickoff, out cf-bounds will be kicked off again, the Kicking team being penalized five yards
 Under the present rules, pass may not be thrown closer than five yards behind the line of scrim- mage.
 Amid suggestions voted down by the committee were one to allow running with a recovered tumble and various others designed to curb stalling near the end of the halves

LUDWIG ANNOUNCES
 RESIGNATION FROM 1.
 SA(RAMENTO CLUB

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 15-The winter meeting of the Pacific Coast League was thrown into confusion as Harry Ludwig announced his resignation as president of the Sac ramento Baseball Club after having been barred from directors ses- sion.
 League President Clarence Row land declined to elaborate on Lud- wigs resignation after Manager Earl Sheely had been seated as the Sac ramento representative. It was re- ported that Rowland conferred by telephone with Leslie O'Connor, Chi cago, Commissioner of Baseball.
 The incident reportedly stemmed from Ludwig's refusal to list the type of business he is engaged in outside of baseball
 Representatives of the eight teams then decided to extend the 1945 schedule two weeks to permit a 26B week season. The season will open March 30, one week ahead of time. and will end September 23, which is one week later than usual.

ARMY, MARINES GO TO BAT FOR
 FUTURE SPORTS

COLUMBUS, Jan. 15-The open ing session of the Thirty Ninth An- nual Convention of the National Collegiate Athletic Association was no place for those persons who scoff at the value of intercollegiate sports.
 Both the Army and Marines went to bat for sports as college faculty members, athletic directors and coaches gathered for discussion centered about the postwar future of intercollegiate athletics.
 Brig. Gen. William Welsh, Army Air Forces, told the group that "the Air Force believes whole heartedly in physical education. Athletics make man tougher and faster. Quite often that's the difference be- tween a win and a loss in combat" !"
 Col E. E. "Swede" Larson, Mar ines, former head football coach at the naval academy and a veteran of Pacific action, asserted the Jap- anese, believing Americans to have grown soft" miscalculated because they did not take into consideration the American will to win generated in competitive athletics"

 DECISION 10 BE
 ASKED OF BYRNES

WASHINGTON, Jan. 15 - There were indications today that War Mobilizer Jimmy Byrnes will soon be asked to make a definite over- all decision on what to do with wartime sports.
 Some sources predic te d that Byrnes would find the most prac- tical solution in an order for a tight general shutdown such as that in effect on race tracks.
 The request for Byrnes to act is expected to come from a Presi- dential committee or from the Office of Defense Transportation which is now studying the ban on conventions and trade shows att tended by more than 50 people.
 It was emphasized that "in case of doubt, the thing to do is cancel, and that this thing is very seri- ous. Nobodys kidding about the wars pressing needs"

Prof. Dotys method is derived from diScov

of light by particles of matter, such as giant
molecules of plastic, rayon or rubber when in

Light rays OF a particular color are passed
through a glass tank filled with the fluid whose
molecules are being investigated. The rays are
bounced like tennis balls, by tile molecules

kind of research was developed by Prof. Peter
Debye. Nobel Prize winner of Cornell University.
Scientists at the Polytechnic Institute point out
that the protein molecules of the body, of which
the globulin and the antibodies special forms,
remarkably like many of the plastic and fl
brous molecules of synthetic chemistry.
The more science learns about the proteins the
building material of the body tissues and blood
substances, the nearer it becomes possible to de-
fend the body against sickness.
THE day when synthetic proteins can be made
] may stI be very far Off
But, the present limited information on
proteinS may greatly advance the production Of
artificial antibodies from blood globun.
Although Professor Pauling has been expert
menting with cattle blood, the blood banks of the
nation can now provide large amounts of human
globulin from which special antibodies for man
could be fabricated
Thus if this scientists method were perfected,
banks of artificial antibodies could be established
as arsenals against infectious diseases.
Still another path of protein moecule research
could be the study of the "enZymeS," or whatever
the substances are, which enable the white lymph
cell TO produce antibodies within the living body
Thus, the clue provided by Drs. Enrich and
Harris might show better than any one now
knows how TO reshape globun into antibodies.
1t may well be that the chemist, exploring
molecules of synthetic rubber and rayon and the
medical scientist looking into the secrets of the
living body, approaching the same problem
from different directions. They may meet at a
common center from which will come better
health for all mankind.
