searches in radioactivity. In 1885
the chemistry prize went to Fred
erick Joliot and Irene Curie Joliot,
a daughter of the Curies.
The Coris received the award for
their discovery of a chemical
compound, present in human bodies,
that manufactures the blood sugar
known as glycogen. This compound
is an engine biological catalyst
or accelerator) called phosphorylase
which converts animal starches into
glycogen.
The Coris were born In Prague,
Czechoslovakia, in 1896 and re-
ceived their medical degrees from
the university in that city. They
were married in 1920 and moved to
the United Safes in 1922. In 1928
they became American citizens.
They were connected with the Uni

Grain Prices Slump
To Limit as Result
OF Congress Recall
BY the Associated Press

Heavy selling swept the grain
and cotton exchanges today in
reaction to President Truman's
call for a special session to COM
bat soaring prices and wheat,
corn and oats plunged the per-
missible limit on the Chicago
Board of. Trade.
Grain prices tumbled in the most
active trading in several weeks.
Cash dealers reported farmers and
country elevators were offering in
creased supplies of cash corn and
oats for shipment later.
After an hour of trading, wheat
was about to 10 cents lower on
the Chicago Board of Trade, the
latter decline the limit permitted
under exchange rules; corn was
down 6l2 cents to cents, the limit,
and oats were cents lower, the
limit.
December wheat sold at S3.02sS,
December corn $2.227s and Decem-
Der oats $l.151a.
Rally Develops.
A rally developed after grains
hit the bottom and wheat later was
512 to 6A cents under yesterdays
close, December selling at $3061z;
corn was to 6 lower, December
$2.24l2, and oats were ga to
lower, December s116h. Soybeans
were down the 8 cents limit, No
vember $3.47
Cotton futures opened s155 to
1925 bale lower in New York and
midmorning process were $165 to
1925 bale lower-than the previous
close.
Butter futures and most egg
futures also were off slightly in
early trading on the Chicago Mer-
camille Exchange, but the Chicago
hog market was active, with sales of

May Employ ALLEGATION Device.
Although details of the Presi-
dents program have not been dis
closed, Congress members who
talked with him said he hoped to
employ an ALLEGATION device on
scarce commodities instead of seek
ing a restoration of rationing and
price ceilings.
Grain men thought the ALLEGATION
system, if adopted. might apply to
wheat and possibly resemble the
World War I plan. At that time. the
Government was the only wheat
buyer and allocated the grain at
fixed prices to industries and to for
eign countries. Such a plan would
negate the need for trading In wheat
futures because millers and cash in
terests, being sure of a fixed price,
would not have to hedge their cash
grain in the futures market.
Traders maintained the price the
Government would pay to buy
wheat at terminals. under any such
plan, would have to be sufficiently
high to attract wheat off farms in
stead of having it fed to livestock.

Ministry circles today expressed
great appreciation and satisfac-

for a special congressional session
on interim aid TO Europe.
THE President has taken a very
important decision" declared a
ministry spokesman. There has
been doubt for some time whether
the American Government would act
in time
Noting press reports that about
$3.50, 5000 probably would be re-
quested for stopgap assistance for
France. he added:
THE Presidents move is a very
happy one for France. We. are as
sured of getting along to April l if
the Congress approves his request" "
Franc -Tireur, an extreme leftist
publication with Communist
views, said Mr.. Truman "has made
his choice between Ramadier and

de Gaulle," the paper said, was
betting on the impossibility for
Congress to take decision before
next spring, which would have let
him pluck, after a severe winter of
hardships. the ripe fruit of Ameri-
can credits.
This (Truman's ,decision) does
not yet mean either that Congress
will accept the Truman Marshall
projects nor, If it accepts them, that
it will do so under any condition.
But it is beyond all question that
the psychological effect sought by
Washington will be used by Rama
