Meeting Will Stop Body
Growth; Still Scarce

SAN FRANCISCO, June 29.-P)
Chemicals that can make giants
or dwarfs out of normal young in
dividuals and exercise dictatorial
control over came of the body's
most important glands were intro
duced to the medical ssion
Sunday.
They can make animals grow to
about twice their normal size. One
of them can stop body growth. An
other can control the production
of mothers milk. Still others can
rule the seq and adrenal glands.
Too Scarce
But they r not yet ready for
use in controlling the growth or
gland functions of man. They are
far too scarce for that. In Is years
of work, the total amount of all
these substances produced could be
measured in thimblefuls.
These substances are pure hor-
mones from the pituitary glands
of slaughtered animals. An ex-
hibit graphically illustrating their
functions and powers was set up
for the convention of the Ameri-
can Medical association, opening
here Monday.
Power Proved
Their power to produce giants in
animals has been proved beyond
question and there is every reason
to assume they would act similar.

will be enough Of these substances

Questions and Answers
On Servicemen's
Problems
BY LARSEN

WASHINGTON. - The recent
decision on super = seniority
handed down by the Supreme
Court has inspired the following
questions:
Q-I worked for three years fo1
the same company before l went
into the Navy. I was in service
for two years. There is a non.
veteran who does practically the
same work l do, and who has been
with the company six months long

lators and price control officials.
They a and will do it again.
More Controls
Congress is not through with
the subject of price controls unless
business prevents a rapid spiral OF
rices. Any quick and drastic
change in the price level will in
evltably result in more controls.
Therefore the following recon-
mendations are made to members
of the North Carolina Merchants
association and to the retail in
dustry in general:
Il. Keep prices where they are
on goods now in stock.
20. AS new goods come in al
higher costs, mark them at the
lowest price possible consistent
with a reasonable profit.
Refuse to Pay
%. Refuse to buy goods from
wholesalers or manufacturers when
their prices are too high to enable
retailers to sell them at a reason

~. Make goods available to all
customers. Play no favorites.
Further tinkering with controls
will be unnecessary if everyone

and distributor-shows reasonable
restraint in the days ahead. There
must be no drastic increases in
prices this week"

US are going to be either laid off
or fired. Does the recent Supreme
Court decision mean that I will be
laid off first if the seniority rule
is applied?
A-No. If you we're with the
company a year before you went
into service, and in service four
years, you have five years of
seniority. This would obviously
be more than that of the other
men, who didn't start working
until after. you left. According to
the law, the time you were in
service is added to your seniority.
Q-Does the recent Supreme
Court decision mean that veterans
who got their old jobs back can be
fired or denoted according to the
whim of the company?
A-No. The decision has moth
ing to do with the discharging OF
demoting of employees.
