MORE VEGETABLES
AT CHEAPER PRICES

Washington - There will be
plenty of vegetables next year and
prices will be lower, the Agri-
culture Department told meat
starved public.
Production on most truck crops
will be moderately smaller than
this year but ample, the report
said.
The price tags will be marked
down a bit in spite of continued
high employment and wages. The
department figures three factors
will contribute to this - more of:
other foods, more manufactured.

in consumer income in the latter:

PTA President Outlines
Aims for Next Three Years

School education, health, world
understanding, parent education
and home and family life will be
stressed by the National Congress
Of Parents and Teachers during the
next three years, Mrs. L. w. Hughes,
president, said yesterday.
Americans are examining the
weaknesses that exist in our educa-
tional system" Mrs. Hughes de-
clared, ."and the need for such ex-
animation was made clear by the
appalling statistics released during
the war" The many thousands of
young men pronounced functionally
illiterate were not incapable of
learning. she pointed out, but had
not been given the proper chance.
Federal aid for schools is advo-
Gated by Mrs. Hughes rs one way
to overcome the shortcomings Of
education in the United States.
Mrs. Hughes urged parent-teacher
members to make full use of all
available health facilities to aid in
raising the health standards of the
Nation.
Many Of the major problems Of
today have their roots in the home
she declared, and every effort must
be made to eliminate the basic weak
ness that causes divorce, relaxed
moral standards, juvenile delin-
quency and other threats to children
and their families.

Isolation Of SubtiIin Brings

the asparagus waste on which the
subtilin grows. Production Of sub
tilin on a small scale is required
to maintain an adequate supply for
investigative purposes. The cultures
are grown in tanks containing the
waste asparagus juice and other
added nutrients. At the proper
stage, the subtilin is extracted with
an organic solvent and later purified
to remove admixed materials, some
OF which are poisonous TO animals.
Both DR.. Swenson and DR.. Light
body emphasized that the labora-
tory's entire production of subtilin
is being used at present for ex-
perimental studies by the University
Of California medical stan, and none
is available for the public. Once
subtilin's usefulness is established
said DR.. Swenson, the Western Labo-
ratory will step out OF the picture.

A long-sought cure for tubercu-
losis, and perhaps dysentery as well.
may be q possibility through the
isolation Of a new substance called
subtilin by group of former WASH
ington chemists and their associ-
ates.
The work is being done at the
Western Regional Research Lab
oratory OF the Department of Agri-
culture in Albany, Calf. DR.. r. l..
Swenson, also a former resident of
this city, is director of the labora-
tory, which is part of the Bureau
of Agricultural and Industrial
Chemistry. headed by DR. l.. B. How
ard. DR.. Howard was formerly con-
nected with the Western Labora-
tory.
One OF the goals of the Western,
Laboratory is the utilization OF
waste agricultural material. The
manufacture of subtilin was under
taken as a means of disposing OF
large quantities Of waste asparagus
butts. Not only is 1t an economical
advantage to use such agricultural
wastes, but their use in a gainful
manner also solves the problem OF
getting rid Of them. Unless such
agricultural materials are properly
disposed of, often at considerable
expense, they accumulate to inter-
fere with sanitation, pollute the
rivers and poison the soil.

1t was observed about three years
ago that the juice from waste as
paraguS butts was a remarkably
good culture medium for many bac-
terra because they grew so luxuri-
antly on it. 1t occurred to Mr.. jan
sen that the juice might be used to
grow cultures of the wellknown hay
bacillus Bacillus subtilis), which
was known to excrete some sub
stance that killed other bacteria,
particularly disease producing bac-
terra. The process is the same as
that used in the production OF peni-
cillin. and 1t was thought that sub
tilin might also have some OF the
useful properties Of penicillin.
The Department Of Agriculture
has undertaken the job Of produc-
ing subtilin, but tests on its efficacy
as a drug have been turned over
to the University of California as
a cooperative project. These tests
have not yet reached the stage
where they are conclusive about the
value of subtilin in human medicine,
but they show great promise.
Subtilin has been found to kill
many kinds of disease bacteria when
they are grown in test tube cultures.
Furthermore, mice have been pro-
tected against heavy inoculations
of pneumonia germs by injections OF
subtilin. Other experiments lead
the scientists to believe a large
number of disease producing organ
isms may be poisoned by this secre-
ton from the hay bacillus. Among
them are the organisms of tubercu-
losis, anthrax and amoebic dysentery

Villa Rosa Purchaser
Defers Announcement
OF Development Plans

The Villa Rosa property, scene
of a two-year struggle for possession
while the Children's Museum oc-
cupied it, has been sold by Mr.. and
Mrs. Samuel Fig, 1t was learned
yesterday.
The property, including house
at 4215 Massachusetts, avenue NV.
and approximately seven and three
quarter acres of land, was bought by
a corporation-4201 Massachusetts,
Avenue, Inc, of which William
Magazine is president.
Mr.. Magazine, whose Offices are at
1910 Vermont avenue NV, said the
purchase had been completed but
that the corporation was not yet
ready to announce its plans for de-
velopment of the tract.
He would not say whether an
apartment project was proposed, as
had been rumored prior to COM
pletion of the sale. Mr.. Magazine
said the corporation had entered
into contract of sale some time
ago to purchase the property. Sale
price was undiscloSed.
The property was purchased by
Mr. and Mrs. Fig late in 1943 from
Defense Homes Corp, for 100000
The Government agency acquired ii
from the District in exchange fol
equal acreage in the Friendship
estate which the city considered
more desirable for school purposes
Originally the Villa Rosa site had
been purchased by the District as
a school site.
The dwelling was built by the late
Representative Henry st. George
Tucker of Virginia, but never oc-
cupied by him.
The Children's Museum vacated
the house September 6, 1945, after

Given the benefit of a stunning Technicolor production and an eX- ceptional cast headed by Gene Tier ney, Cornel Wilde and Jeanne Grain, Leave Her to Heaven" Ben Arnes Williams" best-seller, has been pre- sented by Daryl F. Zanuck to talk en its place as one of the outstand- ing motion pictures of the year.
 As the millions who have read Leave Her to Heaven" will testify, the unusual story of the girl who was guilty of the deadliest of the seven deadly sins and who would stop at nothing, even murder, to be loved as completely as sine herself loved holds in it every element of a great picture. But it was left to the superb cast and to Producer William A. Baci1er and Director John M. Staill to bring it to the screen with even greater daring, excitement and power. Twentieth Century-Fox' < Leave Her To Heaven" is, indeed an unforgettable motion picture ex- perience.
 The decision to photograph this gripping psychological drama in col or-the first time Technicolor ha' been used for a film not crammec with period costumes, musical spec tacles or landscape Scenes-is an in- dication of the bold and unusual ap- proach with which the studio ha. treated this powerful story, an ap- proach that reaps rich rewards il, high dramatic impact.

 In an article by David Zaslavsky. Prayda's critic, the publication said that the international crime now being examined at Nuremberg has become the official policy" of Spain and Portugal.
 And look at Sweden the article added, "do not some of Sweden's papers even now represent Q Fascist policy? Look at the Gestapo dia. gram and you will find arrows pointing to Sweden, little circles in which the names of doctors, pollti- clans and so on are inscribed"
