researchers to specifically identi-
fly the hormone as steroid
that is probably estriol. (Estriol
is the only one of the three
commonly used forms of estrogen
that can be taken orally.)
The discovery has Importance
because it may be the forerunner
of a method Of inexpensive mass
production of estriol from either
currently available licorice root
or from specially cultivated
plants.
Although three other ingre.
dients of the compound, namely
asclepias, helonias, and aletris,
were also found to contain es-
trogenic hormones, they have not
as yet been specifically identified.
Said famed gynecologist DR..
Joseph H. Phillips of the an
nouncement Of the estriol content
Of licorice, ut is interesting to
note the awareness among the
ancient Chinese Of the properties
Of a root which is now demon
strated by laboratory tests to con-
tain estrogenic hormones. Sim
ilarly, it is significant that a

stalline acid, glycyrrhizin, that is
fifty times sweeter than sugar to
quench thirst was early recog-
nized. Alexander the Great and
the Caesars supplied licorice to
their armies to sustain them on
long marches. American Indians
brewed a beer in which licorice
was an important ingredient.
Through the annals Of nineteenth
century medicine there are con-
slant references to icorice as a
bland and soothing remedy for
colds, coughs, sore throats. laryn-
gifts, and bronchitis. It was
also employed as a mild laxative,
but its chief use in modern medi-
cine until the present time has
been to add a pleasant flavoring
to less palatab1e drugs.
Oddly enough the present dis
covery Of the estrogenic quail
ties of licorice stems from its use
as a flavoring agent in an old pro-
prietary mixture. Several years
ago Mr.. Costello, the chief chemist
for the Lydia E. Pinkham Medi-
cine Company, and DR.. Lynn, q
professor at the Massachusetts,

The widespread use of estrogen
and other female sex hormones
in the treatment of dysmenorrhea
and the menopause has caused
scientists to search for more
available sources of these COM
pounds, originally extracted at
great cost from the urine of preg-
nant animals. Although chemists
have produced less expensive syn
thetic compounds these were
found to be less potent than the
natural hormones, and pharma-
cologists have looked to flowers
and fruits for source of the
same or physiologically related
substances. Traces of the hor-
mones were found in wheat, oats,
yeast, cherries, date pollen, pussy
willow = even garlic - but until
this week no one had guessed that
tucked away in the age-o4d medi-
cine, licorice, were estrogenic SUBJ
stances.
Licorice, like ephedrine, was
known and used in ancient China.
In the oldest of the Chinese books
of medicine, "Shen Nung Pen
Ts'ao King" licorice was referred
to as magical herb that gave
new life to the bodies of the old.
Brahma recommended licorice as
tonic and elixir of life. The As

 Morgan Swinney, 42, was crit ically burned. Francis Lawrence, 49, and R. T. Smith, 58. were se- riously hurt.
 The refinery is only 70 miles up the angling Texas coast line from the site of the 1947 Texas City disaster in which more than 500 persons were killed.
 The explosions forced Gulf to close down its huge catalytic cracking unit, vital in processing petroleum for aviation gasoline. The firm sai dthe unit may be back in operation Monday or Tuesday. The huge refinery can process up to 23O,OOO barrels of oil daily.

The United States is about
ready to launch an -Commu-
nist-aid program for Southeast
Asia. Top officials foresee a long
uphill fight to block Red expan-
sion beyond the borders of China
with success by no means cer-
tain.
Key congressman will get a
detailed look at the situation next
Monday. Ambassador Philip c.
Jessup, who has just returned
from a survey mission for Secre-
tary of State Acheson, will report
then to Senate and House For
eign Affairs Committees.

port to Mr.. Acheson yesterday on
his sweep through the Far East
from Japan to India. He was ex-

tary further on measures which
may be undertaken in the eco
nomic, political and military as
sistance fields.
One project reported under con-
sideration is to speed token aid

countries. Secretary Acheson's S

The central problem which con-
fronts Mr.. Acheson and his ad-

main facts: the disorganized or
weak condition of the Southeast
Asian countries generally and the
deep rooted bitterness against the
Western colonialism of former
years. The Communists are max
ing capital of both facts, exploit
ing weakness where they can and
propagandizing the moves of the
Western powers as colonial imperi-
