). $250,000 on Expedition.
Mr.. Ewing said the appropri-
alton request calls for about $780,
900 to be spent on the expedition,
already under way. to track down
species of the strophanthus plants
and their seeds. Much of the
remainder Of the money will be
used for research grants.
So far as Is known, vine that
grows in Western Africa is the
only one containing the valuable
seed.
Growth of the vine itself is IL
legal in some countries of Africa,
DR.. Scheele said, because a part
of it has been used in the past
by natives to make arrow poison.
"Brews" of the plant also have
been concocted. he said, for
trial rituals" In these, the sub
stance is given to person on
trial. If he lives, he's considered
innocent: if he dies he was guilty.
Conferring now with botanical
authorities in Basel, Switzerland,
lis DR.. John T. Baldwin. on leave
from William and Mary College
to the Agriculture Department
here, who will conduct the search
for the plants in Africa.
With him is DR.. Erich Mosettig,
research chemist of the National
Institutes of Health in Bethesda,
who will return after the con-
ference in Switzerland. En- route,
the two scientists stopped at Kew
Gardens in London. where some
of the strophanthus plants are
under cultivation.
Critical" Months Ahead.
September and October are the
critical periods" in maturation
of the seed pods, DR.. Scheele said,
speculating that DR.. Baldwin
probably will return near the end
of the year.
Not until more is known about
the plants, however, will there be
any plans for mass cultivation or
transplanting. DR.. Scheele said.
Thus far, only one plant of the
species is known to have borne
seeds in this country. The plant
he said, was grown in Florida,
south of Miami.
Mr.. Ewing said the discovery
Of cortisone and its development
may be to biological chemistry
what the discovery Of the atomic
bomb was to physics"
In the discovery of the uses
of cortisone and related substan-
ces we have something of
tremendous possibilities" he
added. These, so far, are only
possibilities and extensive clinical
work is necessary"
After first dramatic uses by
Mayo Clinic doctors of the drug
last spring, Mr.. Ewing said, Presi-
dent Truman contacted him and

express a special interest in the

New Jury Panel Called
lin Trial Of II Reds:
Observation-Disclosures
BY The Associated Press

49,
NEW YORK, Feb. IA new jury
panel was called today as the con-
spiracy trial of II top American
Communist leaders dragged on
through its third week of defense
attack on the Federal jury picking
system here.
The January panel of 592, from
which trial jury was to have
been picked, was dismissed yester-
day. A February panel of 375
prospective jurors was ordered to
report today. >
Defense lawyers have studied the
names on the new jury panel-in
addition to many previous panels
in their effort to kill the indictment.
The Communists are charged with
conSpiring to advocate the over
throw of the United States Govern
ment.
Federal Judge Harold r. Medina
told defense counsel yesterday that
he was wasting time in wrangling
over trivial matters and "trifing"
with the court.
Judge Medina also said there were
too much guesswork and too many
gaps" in the evidence the defense
was presenting against the jury sys-
sem. The defense contends the jury
picking system discriminates against
the poor and members of minority
groups, and in favor of the rich.
After listening to data about the
occupation of jurors, the judge told
defense lawyers:
I'm at loss to see how such
data is of any value. The Supreme
Court has clearly laid down the rule
that there must be proof of delib-
crate and wilful discrimination and
exclusion. 1t is not enough merely
to show certain proportion from
one occupation or section"

special citizens committee on tuber-
culosis, will ask a House Appropria-
tions Subcommittee Friday to ap-
prove an appropriation of $l29, 500
to provide emergency measures for
control of the disease here.
The committee, representing va
rious District organizations, threw
its weight behind the appeal at a
meeting last night to present the
need for increased facilities.
The needed provisions to be pre-
sented to Congress are the same as
were outlined by Mr.. Leafy and
Edward K Funkhouser, executive
secretary of the District Tubercu-
losis Association, before the Com
missioners several weeks ago. They
provide:
/. Appropriation of $14,895 for ad-
ditional personnel in the Health De-
partment's tuberculosis control bu-
reau and chest clinic, 469 c street

2. Increase in ratings of Glenn
Dale Sanatorium doctors from their
present PA, P-5 and P-6 ratings.
3. An increase to $5 an hour for
clinic physicians who now are paid
s7.05 for each three-hour period

4. Funds to greatly expand the
number of nurses available for tu-
berculosis control work.
S. Re-alocation of $65,000 which
was unexpended in the current bud
get because of inability to find Ger
tain personnel.
. Mr.. Leahy pointed out that the
recent chest X-ray survey brought
to light the need for care of hum
dreds of tuberculosis victims who
were unknown before. Most of the
provisions to be presented to Con-
gress Friday, he said, are Or emer-
