OF combating the malady-except

ing with the new drug, chloromy-
cetin.
DR.. Woodward went to Arlington
Hospital, carrying with him q few
small pills that represented the
then available supply of the new
drug derived from a mold found
in the soil of Venezuela.
The 23-year-old patient, who had
contracted the fever from the bite
OF wood tick, was near death when
DR.. Woodward and attending phys
icians gathered around his bed. They
weren't sure of the drug. 1t had
worked in other cases but physicians
didn't feel the experience conclusive.
But it represented the last chance
for Mr.. Williams.
He was given the pills. In "a
hours, he showed improvement. In
48 hours, he was pronounced out of
danger. Today he is carrying on his
normal work at the Meredith Cap
per Nurseries next to his home on
the Leesburg pike near Tysons Cor
ners, Fairfax County, Va.
The story of the cure came to the
attention of The Star but DR.. Wood
ward asked that it not be used be-
cause research on chloromycetin as
a treatment for Rocky Mountain
spotted fever was not complete. Nor

AGAINST Communists
By the Associated Press

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 23-
Strengthening of nti-Communist
sections of the Taft Hartley labor
law was advocated today by REPRE-
sentative Kersten, Republican, ot
Wisconsin.
Yesterday Mr.. Kersten conducted
a hearing on communism in West
Coast maritime unions.
while the provisions now in the
law have worked we'll, they should
be improved to the point where anti
Communist elements in the unions
could get rid of leaders like Bry-
son and Bridges with the help OF
the law Mr.. Kersten declared be-
fore leaving for Wisconsin.
He referred to Hugh Bryson and
Harry Bridges, respectively, leaders
of the CIO Marine Cooks and CIO
Longshoremen Unions.
The 52-day-old West Coast ship
ping strike is deadlocked because
the employers contend Bryson and
Bridges are irresponsible" have re-
fused to sign non-CommuniSt affi-
davits and have followed the Com
munist Party Line
Mr.. Kersten said after the hear
ing that the subcommittee would
recommend Bryson and David Jen-
kins, director of the California
Labor School, be cited for contempt
OF Congress. They did not give
definite answers when asked
whether they are, or ever were,
members of the Communist Party.
Bridges did not show up.
Mr.. Kersten said the full subcom-
mittee would return within six
weeks to continue investigation of
Communist infiltration into mari
time unions"

Earlier the researchers had found
the drug effective against typhoid
fever. Weeks later it was announced
that chloromycetin was a positive
cure for scrub typhus. Another re-
quest was made of DR.. Woodward
to release the story about Mr.. Will
lams but the physician refused.
Then, yesterday, the fact that
chloromycetin had been effective in
Is Rocky Mountain spotted fever
cases was revealed in the Annals of
Internal Medicine-and the story
of Mr.. Williams could be told.
But supplies of the drug still are
very small. There is not even
enough for any extensive. use
against those diseases for which it
has been determined effective. But
production is getting under way.
And Mr.. Williams, first spotted

they will throw enough fear into
some of the ward bosses to prevent
vote stealing. Indeed, the Demo-
Gratis are threatening openly to get
the Department of Justice and the
FBI to go into any apparent irreg-
ularitieS. The Democrats do not
intend to stand for precinct voting
reports, for example, of 638 to IA, as
happened in the municipal elec-
tions when the Republicans ran
roughshod over the PROSTATE Demo-
Gratis.
When asked the cause of the ap-
parently strong trend away from
Mr.. Truman, Republican leaders
comment that many of the voters
have reached the conclusion that
President Truman does not measure
up to the job. In addition, they
say that the voters have decided
that it's time for a change in ad-
ministration in Washington-after
16 years of Democratic rule.
The poll being taken by the Phila-
delphia Inquirer shows Gov. Dewey
with an 18 per cent lead in Penn
sylvania over Mr.. Truman. The
figures given are Dewey All per cent,
Truman 29.1 per cent, Wallace IL
per cent. Others 0.3 per cent, and
undecided 2l.1 per cent. This seems
like a very large percentage of un-
decided voters one week before Elec-
ton Day. Indeed, it Is this un-
decided, silent vote to which the
Democrats turn hopeful eyes.
President Truman has had great
crowds greet him when he came to
Pennsylvania" one of these Demo-
Gratis told me, "and I do not see
how this enthusiasm for the Presi-
dent can be reconciled with the
poll figures we get"
G. O. p. Sees State Victories.
The Republicans expect to pick
up two important State Offices in
this election-State Treasurer and
State Auditor. These are the only
State Offices balloted for in Presi-
Dental election year. The Gov
ernor and the other State officers
are elected in the off years. For
II years these two Offices nave been
held by Democrats, although the
Republicans have had the Cover
nor's Office for 10 years of that
period, and other State Offices,
From the Western end of the
State, Allegheny County, the reports
of Republican prospects are almost
as bright as from other sections.
Gov. Duff is predicting that the
Republicans will carry the country,
although other leaders are talking
of holding the Democratic %lead
there down to 10000. 1t would be a
tremendous political upset to carry
the county for the Republicans.
If the Republican National ticket
sweep is as large as now seems
possible, it may save a number of
the Republican House members who
are on the anxious bench today.
