Apparently Dead Cell,
In Bone Revived by
Chemical Process
By the Assoeiated Press

ATLANTIC CITY, N. j., Sept.
23.-Bone cells which apparently
were dead have been brought back
to life, four chemists reported to-
day.
The bone cells were revived so
they could again act as they
should, they told the American
Chemical Society. The revived
cells were more powerful than be-
fore in their ability to mineralize
pr form bone,,,, ss4ks
This far-reaching discovery
opens up a number of new posi-
bilities. One Is learning more
about how to produce good bones
and teeth in humans. Another is
better treatment of abnormal
bone formation, or control of ab-
normal ossification or hardening
that sometimes occurs in muscles,
brain, arteries, kidneys and other
parts of the body.
Blood Regulates Composition.
Still a third is a new approach
to removing lead or harmful radio
active materials that might lodge
in human bones.
The new work was announced
by Sidney Nobel, Albert Sobel.
Albert Hanok and Alexander s..
Wolfe of the Jewish Hospital of
Brooklyn and Polytechnic Insti-
tute of Brooklyn.
They had found. they said, that
the blood regulates the compost
ton of bones and teeth. But why
only bones and teeth mineralize
or harden was a mystery.
They discovered that some
chemicals destroy the ability of
bone cells to ossify. These include
salts of magnesium, copper,
strontium and ordinary table salt.
These salts would destroy the
mineralizing power of bone cells,
regardless of whether there was
a lot or no calcium present.
Calcium is a main ingredient of
bones.
Killed Bone Cells.
Using bits of bone taken from
living animals, they apparently
killed the bone cells by treating
them with these salts.
Then, they said, they revived
the bo1le cells and restored their
ability to mineralize by treating
them with calcium chloride.
This treatment was so effective
that the ossifying power of the
bone cell was about twice as great
as before its destruction, the
chemists reported.
The bone cells can be revived
up to half a day after their ap-
parent death. and possibly after a
full day. the chemists said. In
their tests they used bones from
animals suffering from ricketts,.

Cook CIeIond Says His Profit
On z Races Was Only 81 100

CLEVELAND. Sept. % (P.-A
profit" ofpnly 81 LOO was realized
by Cook Cleland on the $27, $50
which his two racing planes won
at the National Air Races this
year.
The pilot made this statement
last night in a talk before the
Cleveland Junior Chamber of
Commerce.
Cleland won the Thompson
Trophy race on Labor Day. His
other plane. piloted by Benjamin
w. McKillen, won the Zimmerman
Trophy race and was third in the
Thompson. McKillen is associated
with Cleland in the operation of
an airport at suburban Willoughby.
The heavy cost of owning and
operating a high-speed plane was
given as the cause of the low
profit. He said that in 1947, when
he won the Thompson for the first
time, he had a deficit of $100.
That year, two of his planes
finished and a third crashed.

Mrs. Brennan Claims
Son Shot WOODBRIDGE
In SeIf-Defense
BY the Assoeiaisd Press

DOVER, Del, Sept. 23.-Mrs.
1nez Brennan testified today her
lonely hearts" correspondent,
Wade, N. Woodbridge. 81. was slain
in self-defense byshef .16-year -old
son Robert. sx
Pale but calm. the 46-year- old
woman took the stand at the
second defense session of the
trial. Her son is charged with
murder in the death of Mr.. Wool
bridge County. Va, and she is
charged with being an accessory.
Mrs. Brennan fatty denied the
State charge that she ordered
Robert to kill Mr.. Woodbridge.
Uninvited Guest.
Mr.. Woodbridge, she testified,
came to her farm last October
10. unannounced and unlimited.
After dinner, she said, Mr.. Wool
bridge went out to inspect the
farm and a few minutes later Mrs.
Dolly Dean. a boarder, came in
and told her:
Bobby shot Mr.. Woodbridge"
In a minute or so Bobby came
in," MrCs. Brennan continued in
a calm voice.
He told Dolly: I had to do
it. You know I had to do it. He
pulled a knife on me-
Brothers on Stand.
Il asked Bobby: Why, oh why,
did you do it?'
He just stood there crying and
didn't answer me-"
Roberts brothers, George, 10,
and Raymond, %, took the stand
yesterday to testify that articles
previously identified as belonging
to Mr.. Woodbridge actually be-
longed to them.
George Brennan, first witness
called by Defense Attorney Ben
jamin R. Donolow, identified as
his a two-hand, cross-cut saw
which earlier had been identified
by Mrs. Bessie Ayers as having
belonged to Mr.. Woodbridge. Mrs
Ayers is daughter of Mr.. Wool
bridge.
George said he bought the saw
at a Philadelphia store in August
1912. while living with his father
there. Later. when he went to
live with his mother, George said
he took the saw with him. He
added that he left it on the Bren-
nan farm when he joined the
Army last February.
Raymond Brennan, who said he
lived with his mother. identified
as his a 12-gauge shotgun, also
listed by Mrs. Ayers as belonging
to her father. Raymond said he
bought it in Laurel Springs, N. J.
where the Brennans formerly
lived-in 1947 for $40 and could
identify it positively because the
firing pin had been broken and
he had mended it.
George and Raymond are to
be tried on charges Of being ac-
cessories to the crime.

Thompson Race Fate
To Be Decided TODAY
AT Aeronautic Session
BY the Associated Press

The fate Of the Worlds classic
air race, the $4,000 Thompson
Trophy event. came up for deci-
sion today in meeting of sport
ing aviation leaders.
The question before the Ma
tional Aeronautic Association S
Contest Board was: Whether to
discontinue the free-for-a all Labor
Day feature of the National Air
Races, or to move the event from
its traditional Cleveland site to
wide open spaces where accidents
would not endanger the public.
The NAA is the American rep
Iresentative of the Federation
Aeronnautique International,
the recognized body for inter-
national flying records. In that
role, NAA sanctions competitive
flying events. step necessary to
have performances recorded with
the FAI.
Must Get CAA Consent.
However, the final decision ap-
peared to rest more strongly with
the Civil Aeronautics Administra-
ton, Federal agency charged with
enforcing Flying regulations re-
specting public safety. CAA con-
sent in the form of a waiver must
be obtained to fly racing ships at
low attitudes, and over courses
laid out to minimize danger to
persons and property.
Free-for-all racing. open to
planes of any size and power, be-
came an issue of national interest
when Pilot Bill Odom crashed
into a Berea (Ohio home on the
fringe of the 15-mile course last
Labor Day. Mr.. Odom was killed
and so were mother and her in
FAINT son, trapped in the smashed
and burning house.
Mr.. Odom had won fame by two
record-setting flights around the
world and one world distance rec
ord for light planes. He was a
newcomer to closed course or
pylon racing.
The sanction contract for the
National Air Races is held by the
Cleveland Air Foundation, with
six more years to 60 under the
agreement.
May Seek New Site.
There have been strong indica-
tions from D. w. Rented. Civil
Aeronautics administrator. that
waivers win be refused in the fu-
ture for unlimited class racing
over courses laid out in populated
areas.
Sport flying leaders also have
indicated that the Thompson race
and others of its class have out
grown areas such as Cleveland,
where a course cannot be laid out
without flying near homes.
There is strong possibility that
some city in the Southwest where
suitable space for a course could
be found will be the scene of the
next Thompson race, If another
one is held. Inquiries have been
received from Dallas and Houston,
Tex. and Oklahoma City. among
others.
Chosen to preside at today's
meeting was Roger Wolf Kahn.

Big a Resume Effort
To Conclude Austrian
independence Treaty
By the Assoeiaied Press

NEW YORK, Sept. ga new
Big -Four effort to write an Aus
trian independence treaty begins
here today with diplomatic sources
expressing hope that the Russians
will scale down their demands on
Austria.
Deputy foreign ministers of the
United States, Russia. Britain and
France meet at II am.
A change in Russian strategy
in the talks might have wide ram
iflcations. Western spokesmen
have intimated that an agreement
on the Austrian treaty might tenn
per their opposition to a meeting
soon of the Council of Foreign
Ministers on broader East West
issues.
On the eve of the meeting,
there was sudden shift in diplo-
matte circles from the skepticism
expressed earlier this week.
Negotiations Lasted 3 Years.
State Department sources said
they believed Russia wants a set
tlement OF the negotiations, which
have been dragged back and forth
between the deputies, the Council
Iof Foreign Ministers and a now
defunct Austrian treaty commits
sion for almost three years.
These sources pointed out that
the Foreign Ministers are at the
United Nations Assembly meeting
here and available for consultation
and that the deputies in the past
had made progress under similar
conditions.
British spokesmen adopted a
wait and see" attitude, although
they, too. we're hopeful that a set
tlement might be in sight. They
said there had been similar indi-
cations of a softened Russian at
titude before earlier sessions Of the
deputies, but that the indications
had not been borne out at the
meetings.
Nine Articles Still at Issue.
Only nine of the SO articles in
the treaty still are listed as dis
puted. OF these, agreement has
been reached on at least two, but
they are tied in with other dis
puted issues.
The chief stumbling block was
removed during last springs meet
ing of the foreign ministers in
Paris, when Russia gave up her
support of Yugoslav claims to q
slice Of Southern Austria.
The toughest remaining issue Is
that Of German war assets in the
Soviet Zone of Austria. The for
eign ministers last June reached
broad agreement on that point
but the deputies were unable to
settle specific points before their
talks broke up September / in
London.
Under the Paris agreement, the
Russians were to get lump-sun
payment Of $15o,000. 900. certain
oil rights and the assets of the
Danube Shipping Co. in Eastern
Austria. In turn, they were 10
give back to Austria industries
they had seized in their occupa.
ton zone.
Demands Held Excessive.
Western spokesrnen have termed
the Russians specific demands
excessive and declared they would
cripple the Austrian economy.
A source familiar with the
deputies talks said last night he
thought these demands might now
be modified. possibly because the
Russians want to consolidate their
position in Eastern Europe and
cut the economic losses sustained
in their occupation of Austria.
The deputies will be meeting for
the 212th time. They began their
talks in January. 1947. The ses-
sions were broken of several
times and the problem dumped in
the laps of the foreign ministers.
