Against Deadly Cyanide Gas

much surprised to find their secret
weapon worthless.
The story of pap" has just been
revealed by the Chemical Warfare
Service. It is expected to have very
little application in civilian medical
practice as a means of saving the
lives OF persons who try to commit
suicide with cyanide. Ordinarily
such a man is dead before doctor
can reach him.
Evening star., 1946-10-23

It now is possible to immunize
men for as long as six hours
against cyanide gas, one of the most
virulent poisons known to science.
They are given shots of pap
in chemical language, para-amino-
propiophenone-a discarded pain
killer.
Near the end of the war, intelli-
gence reports indicated the jap
anese were about to introduce a
new cyanide grenade which could
be hurled against the side OF a
tank. Supposedly the grenade would
fill the tank with deadly gas almost
Immediately and the crew would
be dead in few seconds. Cyanide,
the favorite poison of detective
stories, acts very quickly. Once a
man has received large dose, there
is very little anybody can do for
him.
The cyanide molecules combine
with the engine in the red blood
cells which carry oxygen through
the body. There is no room for the
oxygen molecule to attach itself.
Consequently a victim is suf1ocated
almost Immediately.
Officers of the Army's Chemical
Warfare Service found that mole
cules of pap" prevented this effect.
Men could breath almost any cya-
nide concentration without i'll ef-
fects
One dose tawen by mouth, it was
found, gave very good protection for
about four hours and some protec-
ton for as much as eight hours.
Naturally the finding was kept
strictly secret while the war lasted.

Toms GIANTS LACKING IN PITCHING, SPEED AMBULANCE
Thus Clubs Heavy Artillery Becomes Ineffective

No wonder Mel OFT views the
prospect with a wry face!
When Horace Stoneham paid the
Cardinals SITS, 900 for Walker Coop.
err he should have gone a little
farther and lined up somebody for
the man from Missouri to catch.
With no reflection on Cooper,
who is anything but rar1ing arbu-

will be out Of the Navy April i,
probably will be the fastest man
in the batting order.
The only others who can run are
center fielder Johnny Rucker, a
substitute, and Buddy Kerr, who
for some strange reason has been
RELOCATED to the second squad de-
spite the fact that he improved
at shortstop the past two cam
paigns.
Cooper will be backed up by
Schnozzola lombard and Clyde
Kluttz, making the catching de-
cldedly better than adequate.
For the nonce the Giants have
an entire new infield - Johnny
Mize, Bobby Blattner, Bill Rig
ney and Mickey Wick, too heavy
footed for second but two-bagger-
ish enough to look after third. The
ancient and honorable Dick Bar
tell is still among those present
and accounted for. Kerr undoubt-
eddy will break into the picture
somewhere, most likely at second
base, for there is some reason to
suspect that "good field, no hit"

In 600 Yard IC4A
Track Evenfs

NEW YORK, March 3-(F)-With
Freddie Sickinger again in the role
of the Fall Guy, history almost re-
peated in last nights IC4A indoor
track and field championships at
Madison Square Garden.
The speedster from Manhattan,
who fell and lost the IC4A 600-yard
crown in 1913, fell again in the
same race of the varsity champion
ships, but through the fortuitous
Intervention of recall, came back
in the rerun to capture the title.
Knocked down at the starting
scramble Of the six-man field,
Sickinger lay flat on the track with

red before the first turn was reach
ed, -tarter Joe Orpen ordered the
race rerun.
Sickinger got off well in the Sec
ond start and after trailing New
York University's Maurice Cauen'
der, swept into first place at the
start of the last lap and fought on
the Negro gamester's homestretch
bid to win by four feet in 1913.
It was Sickinger's sixth straight
triumph this season. However, his
last five victories were at 300 ana
1000 yards and in winning Satur-
day night, he had the satisfa ction
of avenging his only setback Of
the campaign at 800 yards in the

Lonnie Frey probably Will play
second, although another rookie
named Ben Zientara is a bright
hope. Ed Smokes and Bert Haas are
the first candidates of the moment.
Ray Mueller, the marathon man,
is the top catcher. Back of him are
AL Lakeman and Ray Lamanno.
Mike Mccormick probably is the
only outfield fixture, although he
has been trying his hand at third
base. Other fly chasing candidates
include Mike Deian, Mex Marshall.

TAMPA, Fla, March 3. ~
Deacon Bill McKechnie Of the
Cincinnati Reds faces terrific re-
construction problem. He must re-
build an infield, construct an out
field and recondition a pitching
staff before he can hope to move
out Of his 1945 apartment adioin-
ing the basement.
The job isn't impossible, but it
is liable to take time for the Reds
last year were a punchless lot that
embarrassed Deacon Bill by finish
ing out OF the first division for the
first time since he took charge in
1898.
Were in the midst Of a re-
building program, explained gen.
eral-manager Warren Giles, mat
urally, we are out to win every
game this year if we can, but it's
next year and the year after that
we're considering most.
Take our pitching staff. for ex-
ample, and I think we're going to
have good pitching this year. We
have some older fellows who can
win for us right now, and some
youngsters who aren't quite ready.
IF we think that when late sum-
mer comes around that the older
man won't be winning games for
us, but the young fellow will, we
will get rid of the older pitcher. In
that way you may be surprised by
the names Of some Of the pitchers
we cut loose"
A good example Of the Reds
hope for the future is a young Gel
low named Grady Hatton, to whom
Giles is reliably reported to have
paid $25, 900 for signing.
Hatton is AN EXCL from the
University OF Texas, with no pro
experience, who was such hot
catch that the major league scouts
swarmed after him at Greensboro,
N. C. army base. The Reds think
he can play third base for them
this season.
Remember these names, Ted
Kluszewski and Ewell Blackwell, u
advised Giles. "You will hear
plenty more Of them"
