Switching Tags 10 Aid
In Auto Sale Costs
Cab Fleet Owner $50

Alvin Morgenstein, 80, owner
of a feet of IS taxicabs here, yes
terday forfeited $50 collateral on
a charge of improperly using auto
mobile license tags as part Of
device to resell a vehicle.
Mr.. Morgenstein, who lives at
1920 Rodman street NV, agreed
to forfeit the sum at headquarters
after a Municipal Court hearing
in which Assistant Corporation
Counsel Clark King warned him
to stop the car resale practice or
face prosecution.
The offense was revealed when
two traffic division policemen, w.
E. Klein and L. A. Wallace, OBJ
served novice woman driver hav-
ing trouble parking her brand
new car last Friday.
On questioning the driver. they
found her credentials in order ex-
cept that the dealers tags on
which she was driving were listed
% another car.
No License to Sell.
Convinced that she was not re-
sponsible for the discrepancy. the
policemen checked further to find
that Mr.. Morgenstein. who has nc
license to sell autos, sold the
woman the one she was driving
Klein and Wallace also reported
this to Prosecutor King in the
hearing:
That on August "a. one of Mr..
Morgenstein's hackers, acting on
his employers instructions, bought
one new car from a local dealer for
ostensible use as a taxicab. The
same day, Mr.. Morgenstein himself
bought from a Maryland dealer a
second new car. This is the one
he sold to the woman after first
affixing to it the dealers tags
which came with the other new
car, Mr.. King was told. Through
the tag switch Mr.. Morgenstein
avoided connection with the resale
it was explained.
The prosecutor learned from Mr.
Morgenstein that he has sold more
than three cars to private owners
during the last year. District law
provides that where more than
three such sales are made per year
dealers license must be taken
out.
Another Forfeiture.
In another case. Alfred Reimes
36, a used car dealer of the 1900
block of Wisconsin avenue NV.
forfeited $40 collateral at the
Seventh Precinct on similar
charge of improper use of license
tags.
He was accused in a hearing
before Prosecutor King of issuing
dealers tags with a 1887 model
auto which was in such faulty
mechanical shape that when the
owner put his foot on the brake
the motor accelerated.
Inc law provides that a vehicle
must be in safe mechanical con-
dition before the seller can issue
dealers tags to the new owner.
Police reported that on check
ing a minor collision in which the
1887 car, driven by it's new owner,
crashed into the rear of another
car they found a defective gas
pedal in the colliding car. To
correct tendency of the pedal to
flop over to the right, Reimes be-
fore selling the car fastened a
screen-door spring to the pedal
and attached it to the left side
of the interior, it was charged in
the hearing.
The spring passed above the
floor board and beneath the brake
pedal, so that periodically when
the brake was pressed it caught
the spring, which in turn pulled
down the accelerator. police said

Two New Druqs
Tested Here on

Results, Moy SuppIont

By Ted Mcdowell

py leo mCDOWeN
Tests in progress here indicate
that two new miracle drugs" are
effective against all five types Of
disease. in contrast to
all other drugs used to date.
The tests. begun six months ago.
are being conducted by the Dis
trict Health Department, the
George Washington University
Medical School and the United
States Public Health Service.
They show that the two drugs,
aureomycin and chloromycetin.
combat injecting organisms in
volved in all types of venereal
disease. according to DR.. s. Ross
Taggart. head of the venereal dis
ease bureau of the health depart
ment.
Data in Preliminary Stage.
Penicillin, now the most widely
used venereal disease cure. is ef-
fective against syphilis and gonor-
rhea, he said. The other three
types are usually treated with sulfa
drugs.
Besides syphilis and gonorrhea.
venereal diseases include lymphlo-
venereum, chancroid
and granuloma inguinale. All
three are characterized by ulcers
and do not affect the bloodstream
as does syphilis.
DR.. Taggart stressed that elm
ical data on the studies is still in
a preliminary stage, that follow-up
of treated cases is brief and that
me-dosage relationships are not
yet clearly established. However.
he said, results to date are as
favorable as those noted, after
penicillin therapy.
At this point, nevertheless. pen
ecillin is still the drug Of choice"
for syphilis and gonorrhea, he
said.
A drawback. he said, is that the
two new antibiotics, especially au-
reomycin, cause stomach upsets.
This, however, can be controlled
in part by an antacid or antispas-
modic.
Results of Tests Listed.
Results of the tests show:
To date, 63 cases of syphilis ir
various stages have been treate'
with aureomycin. Doses given b.
mouth every four hours for four
days appeared effective in all cases.
Chloromycetin was given on the
same schedule in 40 cases and also
appeared effective. One case,
treated for primary syphilis, also
had granuloma inguinale and
chancroid. All LESSONS healed COM
pletely. Several other patients had
gonorrhea and chancroid in addi-
ton to syphilis and were cured of
all infections during the syphilis
schedule OF treatment.
Confirmation Awaited.
Studies with gonorrhea showed
that one oral dose of $50 milli-
grams of either drug was effective
in about 80 per cent of the cases.
In cases of lymphlogranuloma
venereum patients showed good
responses" after four to eight days
treatment.
Aureomycin was used on II pa
tients with granuloma inguinale.
several of whom had extensive ul-
GERS over a period of years. Seven
were treated at four-hour inter-
walls for eight days. OF these. two
had a recurrence of LESSONS. These
two and the other ten were treated
on a 12-day schedule and all were
apparently cured.
Confirmation Of these studies"
DR.. Taggart said, IF supported by
further research. will indicate the
role of aureomycin and chloromy-
cetin may play in control and
treatment of venereal diseases"

These were conclusions in a re-

DR.. j. Paraire, medical COM
mander at Val-de-Grac Hospital

DR.. Paraire says not only are

more of them. He says there were
three times as many soldiers in
World War II as in World War I,
and 10 times as many were in hos
pitals with nervous complaints.
He adds: THE second World
War shows the curious result of
an increase of mental disorders
among armies and a decrease
among the civil population.
Comparing the two wars, the
difference in the type Of nervous
troubles is striking. The French
specialist asserts that hysteria and

Council Of Churches
Backs Closed Shop
With Qualifications
By the Aasociotsd Press

| NEW YORK, May ls-The
Federal Council Of the Churches
Of Christ in America has given
qualified approval to the closed
shop or union shop.
The council, which represents
27 Protestant and Eastern Ortho-
dox denominations. said in a
statement adopted yesterday by
it's Executive Committee:
Where either the closed or
union shop emerges with proper
safeguards. as result Of collective
bargaining we believe the agree
ment should be approved
and supported by church people. "
In a closed shop, only union
members may be hired. Non union
men may be hired in a union shop
but must join the union after they
are employed.
Jurisdictional Strikes Opposed.
The councils statement. de-
signed to help bring industrial re-
lations more into accord with the
will of God" opposed jurisdictionr
al strikes, which it termed un-
justifiable "in the light of the pub
lie interest"
1t said jurisdictional disputes
"can and should be resolved with
justice without resorting to
strikes"
The statement was submitted by
the Councils Department of the
Church and Economic Life. headed
by DR.. Arthur S. Fleming. presi-
dent of Ohio Wesleyan University.
Delaware. Ohio.
I'VE believe that compulsory
union membership" the statement
said. should be neither required
nor forbidden by law. The de-
cision should be left to agreement
by management and labor . -"
Safeguards Urged.
The council said closed or union
shop agreements should include
safeguards for the rights of in
dividual union members and for
the general public against pos
sible abuses through monopoly
control over prices and practices"
The safeguards. the statement
said. would include:
Free and frequent election of
union officers.
Provisions in union laws to pro-
tect against excessive dues and
initiation fees and against dis
elimination.
The right of appeal to the courts
on expulsions and other action
against individuals.
Serve Public Interests.
Protection against arbitrary
treatment of minorities in union.
Periodic review of contract talks.
The statement said proposals
for various forms of union security
had arisen because labor unions
that are strong, free, stable and
responsible can best serve their
own legitimate interests and those
Of the public"

Boy, 7, Jams Head

ey me Associoisd ersss

SEATTLE. May 1s.- Seven
year old Jimmy Albright climbed
up under a railroad trestle last
night and stuck his head In q gap
between two girders.
Here is what followed:
A Great Northern mail train
was tagged to a stop down the
tracks. A firetruck screamed TO
the scene. Traffic jammed on the
highway below. Hydraulic jacks
grunted and strained. An aceg-
lene torch showered sparks.
And 80 minutes after he
stuck his head in, Jimmy pulled
it out. His ears were swollen.
There were tears on his face,
There was lard on his head. And
in his heart was a solemn vow
never to go under another bridge.
A playmate Immediately ran to
the Curtis Albright home when 1t
became apparent Jimmy's head
was stuck for fair. Mr.. Albright
came running with a lard bucket.
They creased the boys head till
it was slick as a peeled egg. No

in the bridge like stopper In
a crock.
Up the tracks the mail train was
barreling for Seattle. An off ff-duty
switchman tagged down the train
and probably saved the boys life.
Oficials said the weight Of the
rattler probably would have
crushed the youngsters head.
Finally, a doctor administered a
sedative to keep Jimmy quiet
comparatively, and workers wrap
ped towels, asbestos and p sheet
metal around him and man came
up with the cutting torch.
1t was warm. but Jimmy's
mother told him to be a man and
sit still, which he did. and pretty
soon the workman had cut a hunk
right out of the girder and Jimmy
was free.
The doctor looked at him and
said he was O. K. but needed a
bath. So he rushed home and
had one. And Mr.. and Mrs. Al
bright declared they never even
bothered to tell Jimmy don't ever
do that again.
