Dr.. Percy JuIian's New Discovery
Make Possible Large Scale Production
OF Drug For Treatment Or Arthritis,
Heart Disease And Other Ailments
Soy Bean Experiment Reveals
Key Synthetic Compound
New Discovery Recalls War
Time Work Of DIR. Julian

CHICAGO-(ANP) DIR. Percy
l.. Julian, 50-year-old chemist of
haywood, H., and director of re-
search in the soy products divi-
sion of the Glidden company, has
found the key to the artificial man.
ufacture of four life-giving chemi
Gals which will make production
of scarce hormone substances for
the relief of arthritis, rheumatic
heart disease and other unsolved
human ailments a matter of no
concern, according to an announce
ment made here Thursday.
DR.. Julian's discoveries, made
while he was engaged in finding a
cheaper method of manufacturing
cortisone-a rare drug used with
success in treating a limited num-
Der of arthritic victims, are cortis
some, compound S, II alpha hy-
drsxy pFogesterone. and pregnene-
triolene. While DR.. Julian nor the
Glidden company make and claim
that these synthetic hormone COM
pounds will prove effective in the
treatment of arthritis or any other
disease, scientists throughout the
world believe they theoretically
hold promise to have more prolong-
ed activity in the human system.
Compound S is described as a
companion to cortisone or COM
pound E, which is generated by the
cortex or shell of the adrenal
glands, one Of which is over each
kidney. In humans, the adrenal
glands are about the size of a wal
nut and manufacture powerful
chemicals, called sterones, Twenty
eight of these sterones, including
E., have been identified.
Compound S was brewed out of
soy bean proteins and is "chemi-
cally analogous" to cortisone-
which has never before existed in
other than academic amounts.
wholly insufficient for testing on
human beings.
Less Costly Method
AS for the cortisone itself. DR..
Julian discovered a new and less
costly method for synthesizing the
compound. The substance, even
rarer n n andrenocorticotroph
hormone (ACTH), a hog pituitary
byproduct also used in the treat
ment of arthritis, was injected
hypodermically as solution in
pinpoint amounts in muscle. AZ

rite patients after suffering for
years, are reported to have been

reputation already with three other

NEGRO TEACHERS CAST VAST
MAJORITY OF THEIR VOTE
AGAINST PROPOSED EQUAL
SALARY PLAN
WaIthall County Teachers
Denied Right To Vote
Hint Early Legislative Action
TO Offset Bates Case

The proposed plan for fixing
the salaries of teachers in the pub
lie schools of the state. submitted
TO the teachers for their approval
through statewide vote has been
rejected. Negro teachers joined the
white teachers of the state in vot-
ing 10,108 to 2,67O for the over
whelming rejection of the proposed
plan: The result of the count of
the ballot in the office of the Sec
rotary of state, made public here
Monday revealed that the vast ma
jorny of Negro teachers voted
against the plan. Only 20S votes
were for the plans out of a total
of 4787 Negro Teacher votes.
In Walthall county Negro teach
ers were not allowed to vote. This
was the only story to mar the re-
.sultss of Negro teachers voting
which was concluded throughout
the state last Friday. w. w. Black
burn, long time executive secre-
tary of the Mississippi Association
of teachers in colored schools,
whose official were conducting the
district meeting where Negro
teachers voted said that Walthall
county was the only county in the
state, according to reports reach
ing his office, where Negro teach
ers had been denied the right TO
vote.
c. j. Duncan, County Superin-
tendent of Education Of Walthall
county told the Jackson Advocate
in telephone conversation Mon
day. "Nigger Teachers" didn't vote
because Walthall County was not
Indiana, Chicago and Pennsyl-
vania, and no Niggers were allow
ed to vote and go around trying
to run things in Walthall County.
The Superintendent of Education
said also that he had not received
official notice from Governor
Wright about Negro Teachers Vot-
ing and no official ballots for
Negro teachers had been sent to
him.
He said that "Nigger teachers"
of Walthall county did not go TO
the district meeting held at Mag
nolia, because the only inferma-
ton that he had was that the meet
ing was nothing but "Nigger do
ings" and he did allow them to
close the school to attend the meet
ing.
Obviously brought forward to
offset the effect of a favorable de-
cision in the case now pending in
the Federal Court brought by Mrs.
Gladys Nool Bates for the equali-
zation of white and Negro teachers
salaries the rejection Of the plan
is said to be causing much con-
Germ in the official circles.
Although the proposed plan was
to be submitted to the state Legis-
lature in special session for enact
ment into law upon its approval
by the teachers, there were hints
that even though the plan was re-
jected the legislature may be call
ed into early session for the en-
actment of its own.

Photographer Backing
Chambers Testimony
Reported Found byFBI
Nv the Axsocioted Press

A person with contacts in the
Justice Department reported yes
terday that the FBI had picked
up a photographer said to have
backed up part of the story Whit
taker Chambers told about pre-
war Red espionage in the Govern
ment.
eThe man. he said, was located
in California and so far as he
knows still is there's
FBI officials replied steadily
with a no comment to questions
as to whether the photographer
had been located.
Members of the House I'm
American Activities Committee
said the FBI had not notified
them that the photographer had
been found. Senator Mundt, Re-
publican, of South Dakota, for
mer member of the House Com
mittee. told reporters if the man
has been picked up they have
a pretty important figure" IN the
case.
Said to Have Operated Here.
He explained that this photog-
rapher should be able to corrobo-
rate much of the testimony OF
Mr.. Chambers.
The person who said he had
learned the photographer was
located said the man probably
can testify that Mr.. Chambers
brought documents to him to
copy. This photographer was
supposed to have operated in
Washington.
Mr.. Chambers is a former cour-
Ter for a Communist underground
ring which he said operated here
before the war. He testified that
Alger Hiss. formerly high official
.of the State Department, was one
of his sources of supply.
Mr.. Hiss has denied it. A New
York grand jury indicted Mr.. Hiss
on a charge that he lied in saying
he had not turned over secret
information to Mr.. Chambers.
Hiss now is awaiting trial.
Relayed to Russian Agents.
The Un-American Activities
Committee located some stolen
documents through microfllms
Mr.. Chambers disclosed he had
hidden in a followed out pump
kin on his farm near Westminster,
Md.
Mr.. Chambers has testified that
some copies of secret papers were
relayed to Russian agents. He
has said he held out some after
he began to sour on Communism.
A committee official said it is
unlikely any attempt WILDE made
by the committee to subpoena the
photographer. He said he did not
know how it could be done before
the Hiss trial is over.

AT J.B.M. SCHOOL
CONTINUED from Page one)

back to the Book of Genesis where
we see that the world was created
for man, not man for the world.
It means that a human being is
worth more than anything or any
number of things. Now perhaps
at this point we are all ready to go
to sleep. If we are, it is because
we are thinking that theories and
doctrines are not of any value. In
other words, "It doesn't make any
difference what you believe" Well
that just is not true. Il is COM
pletely false, and this principle is
a good example of it. We were all
shocked and Mortified when we
heard of some of the things the
Nazi did in their concentration
camps. We thought they were
crazy. Maybe they were, but they
were also logical. The things they
did followed logically from their
principles. The Nazi did not be-
lieve in this idea of the worth of
the individual. He believed that
man was just an animal, a
smarter one but still just an ami
NAL. So of course a human being
had value to him only if he helped
the state. The people existed for
the sake of the state, whereas we
believe that the state exists for the
people. And that difference in
principles makes great difference
in actions. For example, if you
exist for the good of the govern
ment, then the government can do
anything it likes with you. That is
the way the Nazi worked. They
wanted, for example, to know how
much cold weather their armies
could stand. So they took great
many people and put them in re-
frigerators to see how cold it
would have to be before they all
died. And if after that we still
think that principles do not matter
if after that we still think il
does not matter what you believe;
then it is not the Nazi who are
crazy; we are. Here then is one
of the most basic principles of the
American way of life. The prin-
ciple is that every human being is
the child of God and the possessol
of a soul that is worth more than
anything else and that the state
exists to serve and help the people
This idea should be our guide ir
thinking about the problems we
face as intelligent and interested
citizens. We easily become con.
fused about such things, do we
not (e.g. Labor good, bad; Cap
italists angels, devils; Russians
French, Czechs, etc.-right, wrong)
Often we can see things more
clearly if we try to see the princi-
Piles that lie beneath these confus
ing issues. To the question, What
